CYPRUS.

The island of Cyprus, which Lord
Beaconsfeld has so cleverly acquired
and welded into the chain connecting
Europe with India, the other links where
of are Gibralter, Malta; the Suez Canal
and Alden, is the most eastern island of
the Mediterranean, being only sixty five
miles from the Syrian coast on the
north it approaches to within forty-four
miles of Asia Minor. Its length is about
one hundred and forty miles and breadth
from fifteen, at the northeastern extremi-
ty,to forty, the total area, being 3,678
square miles. The population is estima.
ted at zoo, 900 souls, of whom perhaps
two>thirds are Greeks, the remainder be.

and Armenians. Hitherto it has formed

Mediterranean, having as its capital Ni>

though his title is Metropolitan of Con-
stantia. Since the council of Ephesus in
43I he has retained his independence of
any patriarch, and the Church of Cyprus
forms one of the independent groups in.
. to which the Greek Church is divided.
Cyprus early belonged to the Phoeni-
clans of the neighboring coast then it
was colonized by the Greeks, and be-
came the seat of several independent
kingdoms then it passed under the
power successfully Of the Pharoahs. Per-

lost it to the Venetians, the employers
as readers of Shakespeare will recall, oi
OtAeAo. After siege marked by prodi-
gies of Yalor and immense slaughter, the
Turks took the island 3o7 years ago and
have held it ever since, except during
the period of I822,4o, when the Viceroy
of Egypt administered its affairs.
The island is fertile and rich, though
the frequent drought shrinks its princi.
pal stream, the Pedia, to mere rill and
compels the inhabitants, the waters OF
the wells being brackish, to have res
course to cisterns. Minerals abound,
including copper and precious stones,
though the mines have hitherto been
sadly neglected. Among the vegetable
productions are fruits, cotton, tobacco,
dyewood and drugs silk is also produ-
ced and wine. In old times the wine Of
the Commanderia, vineyard taking its
name from the Knights of Malta, enjoy.
ed wide vogue, but as the population
has fallen from 100000 in Venetian
times to its present low figure, so the
wine production has fallen off from
1000, 900 gallons to 200, 900. There is
some demand in Egypt, though none in
Europe, for the comman red and black
wines Of the country, against which Eu>
ropeans have prejudice because Of the
taste they acquire from being kept in
tarred casks.
The island has one splendid port
Famagosta, the Arsinoe Of the ancients
which though so choked with filth as
only to afford anchorage for few small
craft, might easily be restored to its
prominence under the old Venetian rule,
where hundreds Of vessels rode within
its roadstead at ease and in safety.
Despite the locusts which scourge it
ceaselessly, and the even more rapacious
Turkish tax-gatherer, Cyprus has of
late years been increasing in prosperity.
Its grain crop is small, and both the
wheat and the oats are inferior, but colo
cynth is extensively cultivated large
exports Of lnadder are made, and cotton
and carob beans are sent abroad to the
extent Of some thousands of tons annu>
ally.
To Americans, and especially to New
Workers, the island will be familiar
through the DiCesnolan collection of
Cypriote antiquities According to that
Assyriologist, the late
George Smith, and other eminent au-
thorities, the language of their inscrip-
tions is Greek dialect approaching the
Arcadian, but possessing many peculia>
rites, the characters-not Greek, but of
unknown origin-being usually from
right to left and syllable some Of them,
however, representing different forms of
vowels and others consonants only.

AN INsULTED TRAMP.
ro Drives a Knife Through an 1ouan's Heart.

He Drives Knife Through an IOWan's Heart.
Davenport, Iowa, July IA -Atnoon to-
day, on one of the principal streets a
tramp murdered citizen by plunging a
knife into his heart. 1t was the boldest
murder ever committed in Davenport. 1t
has created intense excitement, and
Judge Lynch came nearer presiding over
trial of the murderer than at any pre-
vious time in this city. At the time in
diCated, Charles Segerman, proprietor of
a saloon at the corner of Third and Iowa
streets, was walking westward on the
south side of Third street in search of a
policeman. A tramp came out of Pope's
saloon, No. 100 East Third street, met
Segerman, walked up to him, and, rails
ing his hand, said "You son of a b-h."
Segerman put up his hand to ward off
the blow. There was loud talk for few
seconds, and the tramp struck Seger-
mans right breast. He changed the
knife into his other hand, and gave his
victim another blow on the left breast.
Segerman staggered, gave a shrek, put a
whistle to his mouth, blew for police
man, and fell back dead.
Mrs. Fare, keeper of cigar store, who
saw the ARRAY, ran out and placed the
murdered mans head in her lap, famed
him and bathed his face in water till as
sistance came. The tramp rushed down
the street. He stared at the gathering
crowd and cried: "You can't take me-"
and nobody attempted to take him. The
police, two in number, by this time had
reached the scene and seized the mur-
derer, who cried, II did it, and I'll do it
again to any man who insults me. Hang
me if you want to-" AS the officers
marched the man up Brady street there
were loud cries of Hang him W "Hang
himW Had it been ten minutes later
there would have been a rush for the
prisoner by the excited crowd. The
murderer was interviewed by reporter
shortly after he was behind the bars
He said his name was Henry Hader, 32
years of age, and born in Auklam, Prus.
sia. "What is your occupation ?" asked
the reporter.
"I'm tramp; put that down; I killed
him and amt sorry. He insulted me-"
1t transpires that Hader went into Sc
germans saloon and got two glasses of
beer, which he refused to pay for when
asked to, This was the insult.

We are tired of glittering generalities,

ature of candidates,
Gen. Butler has accomplished much
in the world, much more than most men,

of legislation. Does he think legisla-

table energy has done for him2
If 80, let him be more definite. Let
him tell the people what particular laws
are to make them prosperous and happy.
Things so promising should be made spe-

him proclaim its nature. He halls from

not to say for its quack medicines. I'm

to have been driven crazy, and ultimate
