Ancient Cities,

Three thousand years ago Nineveh
contained PIG square miles; its walls,
100 feet high, with towers of twice that
height, took 10000 men eight years to
build. Babylon was yet larger. This
city, founded by Nimrod 2233 B. c.,
had its hanging gardens series of ter
races raised one above the other on
piers about 40 feet high till they over
topped the walls of the city. Each
terrace comprised about three acres and
half, planted with trees and shrubs.
The Government was despotic, but tenn
pered by curious check. The King
had absolute power, but could not re-
scind his DEGREES. Eagles were trained
to accompany the warriors in their bat
ties to pluck out the eyes of the enemy
or to feast upon the conquered. Very
great cruelties were practiced upon the
captives. In one of the rural scenes the
King, who quaffs the goblet in an arbor,
is gratified by the sight of the head of
an enemy hanging upon one of the trees.
The royal quarry was the lion. Parks
were kept entirely for the King to enjoy
the lion-hunt. .

Last Friday morning the express

the track six miles from Evansville,
when the engineer discovered negro
man short distance ahead on the

also on the engine, observed him at the
same moment. The negro looled at the
train, and then lay down aeoss the
track, and deliberately put his neck on
one of the rails and with hi hands
grasped the ties as if to hold himself
firmly in position for the cataitrophe.

Gen ScOtt's Daughter.
In the gossip which followed the

In the gossip which followed the an
nouncement that Gen. Sherman's son
had left for Europe to become a Catho-
lie priest, a story was told of the ro-
mantle circumstances attending the ca
reer of one of Gen. Windfield Scott's
daughters. who died in the Convent of
the Visitation, at Georgetown. This
story was to the effect that Miss Scott
fell deeply in love with an attache of a
foreign legation, who loved sincerely in
return. The match was opposed by
Gen. Scott, and through his instrument
ality broken off. She went broken
hearted to a convent, and he prepared
himself and was admitted to the priest
hood. In course of time, he was or
dered to Georgetown College, and a
portion of his duties consisted in hear
ing the confessions of the nuns at the
college. On one of these occasions
Miss Scott knelt in the confessional to
her former lover. She tainted, went
into a rapid decline and soon died. He
left the country.
The true story of the affair as related
by a friend of the family of Gen. Scott
is much less romantic than the tale of
the gossips. Nearly 40 years ago Mrs.
Scott was living in Paris with her fam
lily, the younger daughters being pupils
in the Convent of the Sacred Heart. She
moved in the highest circles of Partisan
society, and her eldest daughter was
known because of her exceeding beauty
and culture as '' La belle Americana. :"
considerable wealth fell in love with
Miss. Scott. His affection was recipro-
Gated and with the consent of Mrs. Scott
an engagement of marriage was made.
In visiting the Convent of the Sacred
Heart, where her younger sisters were
at school, Miss Scott became deeply i'm
pressed with the holy life of the sisters.
In Il comparatively short time she was
converted and determined to devote her
life to the church. She sought and OBJ
tanned release from her engagement.
What became OF her lover is not known,
except the fact that he never left Eu-
rope. He was reported to have joined
religious order in Rome. Miss Scott
returned to the United States with her
mother shortly afterwards, and was ad-
mitted to the Convent of the Visitation
at Georgetown. She was in delicate
received the habit of the novice, and on
August &c, 1916, she died of consump-
tion.-N. Y. World.

PRESIDENT WAsHBURN of Robert
College, Constantinople, writes to the
Independent that thus far the result of
the fall of Turkey has been chaos.
''Many parts of the country" he says,
''are in ruins-the towns burned, the
inhabitants massacred or scattered
Everywhere the population has been
reduced to poverty, and all business has
long been at a standstill. In many
provinces civil war is still raging be-
tween the different nationalities, and all
civil government has long since disap-
peared. The Central Government at
Constantinople is in much the same
condition. The Sultan trembles for his
life, the treasury is empty and bank
rupt, the old system of government has
come to an end, and those in power do
not see what is to take it's place" DIR.
Washburn thinks that the territory an
nexed to other countries will rapidly i'm
prove under good government, but Ash
attic Turkey will only slowly rise in civ
ilization, even should England exert
herself to influence reforms.

A REPORT has been received at the
Indian Office, at Washington, from Pc
ter Roman, Indian Agent at the Flathead
Agency, Montana Territory, which gives
an interesting account of the recovery
by "Captain George" a friendly Nez-
Perce, of his daughter, who was stolen
from him by some miserable white men &.
"Captain George" had been useful to
the whites as an interpreter, and was
aided by them to get his daughter from
Sitting-Bull's camp. He returned with
her as far as Carroll, and was there at
tackled and left for dead by some
wretches who carried off his daughter.
After his recovery he searched through
the country for his child, with his
wounds unhealed, in constant danger
from whites, who were liable to mistake
him for a hostile, and was finally sue
cessful in his search.

An Iiyl of a Woman's Clothes

The picturesque little town of West.
field, on the New Jersey Central Rail.
road, about 20 miles from this city, was
all agog lately over a recent marriage,
which made ripple in the quiet life OF
the town. DR.. Z. V. Smith, aged for
ty, wooed and won Miss Annie Clarke,
maiden of 16, the daughter of L. v.
Clarke, a wealthy retired merchant, who
formerly did business in New York.
The lovers wished to get married at
once, but the parents of Miss Clarke oh
jected. and told them 10 consider the
step for six or eight months longer.
Finding entreaties vain, they determin-
ed to take the matter into their own
hands, and in order to secure the per-
sonal property of the would-be bride
without arousing her fathers suspicious,
the Doctor hit upon the novel way of
carrying them off under his coat. So
his devotion waxed stronger, his visits
increased in number, and every time he
bade adieu he stuffed his coat with
dresses and all sorts of garments,
and filed his pockets with bits of rib
bon. Even his hat was brought into
service to carry off a pair of curling
tongs. Sometimes the girl threw gar
ments from the window, which were
caught by the Doctor in the moonlight
below.
After two weeks of persistent industry
the Doctor had accumulated several
Saratoga trunks full of clothes, and
then Miss Clarke, telling her mother
she was going to the village, repaired to
the railroad station, Joined the Doctor,
and the two came to this city, where
they were married at the residence of
the Doctors sister. After the ceremony
the couple went to Long Branch and
opened negotiations with the parents in
Westfield. At first Mr.. Clarke refused
to communicate with them, but after a
week of Indifference on their part he
presented them with farm on which is
a fine residence; to the bride he gave
costly silk dress as peace offering.
Such tangible tokens of forgiveness
caused the Doctor and his wife to return
to the paternal homestead.-New York

What BeacOnsfield Has Accom-.
plished.

The map accompanying the Berlin
Treaty gives a better idea than mere
words of the important changes effected
by Lords Beaconsfield and Salisbury in
the programme laid down by the Grand
Duke Nicholas and Gen. Ignatieff. BY
the Treaty of San Stefano the Sultan
was literally reduced ssto the market
gardens about Constantinople. To
| the north and west of him lay the i'm.
mense Slav State of New Bulgaria, its
southern shore washed by the .Egean
sea, and its western boundaries lost in
the rugged mountain ranges of ALBANIA.
| Not only were the whole of old Bulgaria
and alarge part of Roumelia and Thrace
swallowed up by the eenquerer, but al
most the entiresprovince of Macedonia
and an extensive slice Of Albania were
included in the new principality. Be-
tween Servia and Montenegro only a
narrow strip of military road was left to
Turkey. Even to get at this the Turks
were compelled to march 200 miles
through Bulgarian territory, surround
ed on all sides by powerful foes, who
only wanted a pretext to renew the war.
Through the firmness of English plen-
ipotentiaries the Treaty of Berlin has
swept this arrangement away, leaving
the Sultan with two-thirds of his Trans
Danubian provinces under his political
control. The boundaries of Bulgaria
on the southeast have been pushed back
as far as the northernmost foothills of
the Balkans, wilhelm the southwest they
have been limited to the south
ernmost part of the Sand
jak of Sophia, which lies more than
100 miles from the sea. The whole of
the enormous southwestern wedge of
Ignatieff's Bulgaria has been Topped off,
and restored Internationally to the Sui
tan. Even the new Christian province
of Roumelia is separated by more than
40 or so miles from the 4Egean seaboard,
the possession of which has all along
been the great object of Russian ambi-
ton. By these changes, as summed up
in the British Premier's speech before
the House of Lords, there have been re-
stored to Turkey 10000 square miles of
her finest territory and 5000, 900 of her
weaithiest and most Industrious inhab-
itants. In a word, Turkey in Europe
has been consolidated within the south
ern half of the Balkan Peninsula, with
its richest provinces intact, and a pow
erful military frontier along the Balkans,
which the Sultan is privileged to garri-
son with as many thousand troops and
as many parks of artillery as he pleases.
At the Trajan, the Shipka, and the Ich-
timan passes powerful Notifications are
to be constructed, in any, one of which
the Russians will be likely to find new

It should not be forgorten that these
radical changes have been effected with
200, 900 Russians in undisputed control
Of European Turkey down to the banks
Of the Bosphorus, and in the teeth of a
powerful opposition at home and abroad.
Even without the Cyprus Treaty there
IS little doubt that Beaconsfeld and his
colleague would have carried off the
honors at Berlin-NeW York Sum .i.

/" Turned ROund.o

Lieut.. Col. Dodge mentions in his
book, s' The Plains of the Great West, -
several illustrations of the curious SEN
sation occasionally experienced by trav
elers. 1t is the feeling of being g turn
ed round"
A man going up the Hudson River on
steamboat finds himself apparently
going down the river. A passenger
looks out of a car window and thinks
the train is moving backwards. The
sensation is often so intense that no
power of mind can change it. 1t gen
orally goes off itself, after little while.
When the feeling comes upon man
on the plains, and the best known To-
calities look different from what they
ought to appear, then he knows what,
in the plains sense, is the sensation of
"getting lost" Sometimes an old
plainsman arrives at stream which he
knows ought to run in aparticular direc-
ton. But it runs the other way. He
knows what this means. If he has no
compass, he goes into camp at once, and
quietly waits until he gets all right, and
the stream runs in the proper direction.
Two gentlemen, well acquainted with
the plains, were once separated from a
hunting-party. After wandering about
some time, they suspected they might
be lost. They compared compasses.
Both pointed in the same direction.
But the men were -s' turned round,n
and therefore made up their minds that
both compasses, through some local
attraction, were wrong. A discussion
and then quarrel ensued as to the
proper route. They separated, each
going his own way. Both were wrong,
and the compasses were righs. One got
into camp by accident; the other had
to be hunted up and brought back.
When man is ssturned round'' on
the Plains, he generally wants to keep
moving. His nerves become unstrung,
ordinary events possess unusual signifi-
cance, and he soon loses all control of
himself. If approached by parties
searching for him, he sometimes runs
off, striving to escape them.
A soldier failing to report at the fort,
a party was sent to hunt for him. The
third day they found him naked in a
thicket. He bounded off like deer,
and, after a long chase, took refuge in a
tree. He was captured by force, strug-
Cling. striking, and biting like wild

covered his senses. After he was

was lost, he remembered nothing until
he came to himself in the fort.
