Well, the upshot of it was, the dog
had to emigrate into a day-coach, and
it is gospel fact that that man, just
married, with the prettiest bride that
has been seen in this country (since eight
years ago) didn't know whether to sit
in the day-coach and hold his dog all
night, or stay back in the sleeper with
his wife, He trotted in and ont from
one car to the other until nearly mid
night, keeping every body in fidget.
And every time he came in, the glis-
tening head of the fat passenger would
poke out from between the curtains,
and he would melt the reprOachful
glances of the bereaved young man with
stony glare that would have detected
the presence of that dog had the young

The Worlds Dirtiest City.

Smyrna has the reputation Of being
one of the most unclean cities in the
world, and its whole arrangements. in
deed, are such as would shock even a
local authority of the most bonighted
provincial town in Great Britain. An
attempt is now being made to put mat
tiers upon better footing. During the
past year, amid the pressure of other
business, municipal affairs have been
allowed to stand over altogether. The
result OF this happy-go-lucky system has
been that the state of the city has be-
come almost unbearable. The streets
contain huge collections of the bodies Of
departed cats, dogs, poultry, and rats in
every stage OF decomposition, besides
refuse Of all sorts; and the only step that
is sometimes taken to cleanse them Is
the hanging Of the carcases of the AMI
mails on the wind0w-bars of the houses
in front of which they have been de-
posted. This proce,' ding has led TO
neighborly quarrels and the wider cif-
fusion Of horrible smells, AM is for the
future to be discontinued as far as pos
sible. In the meantime the Gove
General has chosen nine " notables,"
three of when are European gentlemen,
to constitute the new Municipal Council
for Smyrna. The notables are to begin
the work of cleansing the Augean sta
bles without further delay; and as some
of them are known to be persons of en-
ergy, hopes are entertained that better
days are in store for the city, and that
strenuous efforts will he really made IN
improve its sanitary arrangements be-
fore pestilence is added to the horrors
of the situation.

The Minnesota Mania for Large Farms.

A Winona (Minn.) letter to the Chi
cagO Times says: Two things have done
wonders for this State during the last
half of the closing year. First, the well
established fact that Minnesota harvest
ed forty million bushels of No. wheat,
and, second, the grasshoppers have all
disappeared, no one knows where.
These two facts seem to be working
great changes in the entire State. Vast
quantities of wild land have been bought
The frontier has been alive with land
hunters. The places where land is sold
have done a land-office business, and
seem to produce no abatement in the
land fever. Large tracts of land which
have been surveyed and in market these
many years without buyer or home
stead pre-emptor, have suddenly come
to be sought after by men who propose
to become grangers in dead earnest.
Our railroads have been crowded with
passengers in search of Minnesota wheat
land. There is kind of mania for
large farms. Scarcely any buy less than
a section (64O acres). Many are buy
ing five, ten, or even twenty thousand
acres. Many are preparing to open
wheat farms, and to SOW largely the
coming spring. The grand success of
the great Dalrymple wheat farm, which
is so large as to require 43 reapers with
a self-binding attachment, has con-
WINGED many capitalists that wheat
can be raised so as to pay heavy in
terest on the money invested; at least
they are tempted to buy immense guam
titles Of these lands and try the expert
ment. They may find that few can do
what Dalrymple has done. A very
small amount of money buys a large
farm. There is no expense Of fencing,
for no stock of any kind is allowed to
run at large. The breaking and seed
will cost less than IS per acre. The
seed alone will cost twice as much as
the land. Many hope in single crop
to get back all the money they pay out
and have the land to boot. Winona
County is furnishing a score or more of
men who will make the experiment the
coming season. A few years will tell
whether they will be land rich or land
poor. If they do not 60 and personally
suPerihtenu tnelr great farm tney may
fail to make the experiment profitable.
1t is often said that no man can succeed
in farming with his plow-handles four
or five miles long. How it will be
when the plOw-handles are four or five
hundred miles long we shall see if we
live long enough. 1t is quite sure that
a crop of wheat will rarely fail in the
State of Minnesota if it is properly put
in and cared for.

Gen. Di Cesnola relates, in his work
on Cyprus, a very romantic story Of
Cypriote robber who is imprisoned for
life in the Fortress of Famagosta. The
General was, once on a time, inspecting
this castle, where the worst Turkish
criminals are confined, when one of the
ladies of his party "pointed out some
trailing crimson flowers which overhung
a parapet, remarking on their contrast
to the surroundings. To our astonish-
ment," he says, " a short, broad-shoul-
dered man, who had remained always
near our party, and with whose COM
handing presence, and fine, manly face
We had all been struck, sprang to the
parapet with the agility of cat, broke
off some of the blossoms, and, return
ing, presented spray to each of the la
dies with all the grace of cOurtier. To
their horror, as no did so, they observed
for the first time that he was shackled
with heavy iron links from the wrist to
the ankle. His large, sad blue eyes, and
hair prematurely streaked with gray,
seemed to plead in his favor, and, on
inquiring his crime, we learned that he
was no less parsonage than the cele-
brated Kattirdji Janni, the Robin Hood
of the Levant.''
This chivalrous knight of the road
had no stain of blood upon his hands
it being contrary to his principles To
take the life of those whom he robbed,
or to allow any of his band to commit
the crime. He simply relieved the trav-
elers whom he waylaid Of whatever val
uables they carried, or detained person:

som had been paid.
1t is said that, in his youth, Kattirdj
fell in love with the beautiful daughter
of a gentleman in Smyrna. She wa;
above him in rank, yet favored his suit
and an elopement was planned. TIT
lovers were betrayed, and the hero o
the adventure was thrown into prison
He escaped, fled to the mountains, anl
adopted the life of a bandit. To com
; plete the ideal narrative, it is ayerret
that he bestowed great portion of hi
. ill-gotten gains in aims, and provided
nearly thousand Greek girls will
dowries.
|; Every effort to capture Kattirdji prov
ed fruitless, but finally, grown weary o.
, his Ishmaelitish life, he voluntarily de
livered himself to the Turkish authori
ties, on condition that his punishment
should be limited to exile in the Islant
of Cyprus. The Turks might possibly
have held to their word had it not beer
for the interference of the French Am.
bassadOr, who insisted that Kattirdj
should suffer rigorous punishment
For seven years he was chained to thu
wall Of q narrow cell in Turkish pris-
on, and was then removed to the Fort
ress Of Famagosta. Intercession was
made in his behalf, which resulted in
his being at last allowed the freedom
given other prisoners confined in this
stronghold; but the heavy chain, with
links five inches long, three inches wide,
and one-half an inch thick, was still
fastened to his wrist and ankle.
1t is pleasant to be able to record
that, after the visit of the General to the
castle, some mitigitation of Kattirdji's
punishment was secured, as, by the en-
treaties of Nine. Cesnola, his burden
some manacles were exchanged for

The Man with DOg-A Story Told by

When man has once fallen slave

man. And there are such men. Oh,

and knew that laughter and weeping
never went well together, except ut

and looked.

ing, fussy as an old hen with her last
lone chicken, holding a black-and-tan
dog tenderly in his arms, and clutching
his bride by the elbow to help her on the
car. The brakeman shouted:
"Hold on; take that dog to the bag

Dismay, CONSERVATION, terror, came
out and sat all over that young mans
face, but it frightened up again with a
happy thought. He dropped his brides
arm, and folded both arms about the
dog of his heart. Ji

WHY SUBMIT TO THE DISCOMFORT, and
humiliation entailed by local disease of
the skin, when GLENN's SULPHER SOAP
will rid you of it with certainty and de-
spatch 1t is remedy which never fails
to relieve cutaneous disease, and, as a
means of banishing defects of the COM
plexion, it is equally reliable. The bene-
fits arising from the use of Sulphur Baths,
in cases Of skin disease, and of rheuma-
tism and govt, are well known, but the
cost is too heavy to be incurred by many
persons who would otherwise take advan-
tage of them. GLENN's SULPHER SOAP
answers the same purpose. and is both
inexpensive and convenient. No one
need stir abroad in search of a sulphur
bath who has this admirable means of
providing one in doors. 1t is incom parably
the deodorizer and disinfectant of clothing
and bed linen in use, and prevents diseases
Of an obnoxious nature caused bycontact. So
res, ulcers, bruises, scalds cuts and sprains
arepromtly remedied by it; aud its clearly,
healing and soothing properties constitute
it far more desirable remedy for scorbutic

since such greasy compounds soil the

indeed do any permanent good.

particularly adapt that benign medicine
to revive physical vigor and reform
those bodily irregulities which are bar
rier to its permanent restoration. Bill
lousness and constipation are totally
overcome by it, and the digestive activity
and thorough assimilation which it
promotes have the effect of increasing
the vivftying and nourishing qualities of
the blood. The Bitters are also an excel

they communicate a healthy stimulus to
the bladder and kidneys. which are the
mostimportant channels for the escape of is

origin, thorough and prompt, but never vic.

are both cogent and appreciable.
