Misrellaneous.
THE DEATH Of MEHEMET ALI.

Mehemet Ali is dead, murdered BY an
Albanian mob, because he was endexvor-
lug to persuade them to submit peaceably
| to Austrian occupation. The fact in it.
self is another evidence of the intense
hatred existing in the Mussulman popula-
ton OF Bosnia and Herzegovina against
| their hereditary enemies, the Austrians,
and the sympathy which they receive
from the entire body of their countrymen
1t is the first ealZalion OF the blunders of
the treaty OF Berlin, which the English
have been so prematurely rejoicing over,
that Austria. instead OF taking peaceable
possession OF the provinces OF the Turk
lsh empire awarded to her. should find a
bitter aud prolonged war on her hands
which will not only tax her resources se-
verely, but bids fair to result in such q
state of anarchy and perpetual strife as
will render her territorial possessions .
loss rather than gain, at least for many
years. 1t is a sign of the intense vitality
and force of the Turkish people that they
resist dismemberment with such tenaciiy,
and that they will not submit even to the
DEGREES of their own government in being
absorbed within the limits of neighbor-
ing power. Perhaps the signatories of
the treaty OF Berlin may feel compelled to
call upon the Sultan himself to send an
army to enforce the surrender of his own
rebellious subjects to the power that was
to take them off his hands for the sake of
peace, as in fact his endeavor TO persuade
them TO do SO has cost him the lite of his
ablest general.
Like the Spaniards there is an inherent
force in the Turkish people, which resist
ed all incompetency and weakness in the
central government. and which is never
more formidable than when all its organ.
lied armies have surrendered, and treaties
have been signed, partitioning them out
among their enemies. England will be
fortunate II she does not experience some
trouble from this element in the Turkish
people, and find that the easy assumption
OF responsibility al Berlin does not turn
out very old Man of the Sea in weight
and tenacry. AS tor Mehemit Ali himself,
his career was in the direct line of those
adventurous renegades, who have afford
ed SO much material for romance since
the Turks settled in Europe, and became
the Alsatia for the boldest and worst of
the adventurers of Christendom, and his
tate was a characteristic ending for such
life. He was the son OF = German
trumpeter of cavalry, and running away
from home, was picked up while swim
ming away from n vessel which he had
deserted in the Bosphorous, and became
the petted servant OF Pasha. He spos-
tatzed, when perhaps too young TO know
the enormity OF the act, and fought his
way upward in the army by bravery, skill
and dexterity in intrigue.
tbs deatu is another illustration Of the
tate which has befalen alien and rene
gade in the Turkish service. They have
usually tailed by the jealousy and dis
trust Of their associates. and been pun
ished with death Tor that failure, or fallen
in some demand upon their courage or
desperation, which were the chief causes
OF their pIecarious prominence.

AN ASTONISHING FACT-A large proper
ton of the American people are to da,
dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or dis
ordered liver The result of these dis
eases upon the masses of intelligent and
valuable people is most alarming, making
life actually burden instead of a pleasant
existence of enjoyment and usefulness as il,
ought to be. There is no good reason for
this, if you will only throw aside prejudice
and skepticism, take the advice of Drug
gists and your friends and try one bottle of
Green's August Flower. Your speedy re
lief is certain. Millions of bottles of this
medicine have been given away to try its
virtues. with satisfactory results in every
case. You can buy sample bottle for 10
cents to try. Three doses will relieve the
worst case Positively sold by all Drug
gists on the Western Continent.
