TURKEY, PAST AND PRESENT.

After the conquest of Constantinople by
Mohammed H., the re-establishment of order,
and the proclamation Of an amnesty, that
sovereign commanded divan or official re-
eeption to be held, to which he invited the
Greek Patriarch. He even sent all his minis
tiers to meet him. At this time the sovereign
never rose In the presence of any one what
ever, and least of all could he be expected to
do so before the spiritual head of a conquered
nation; but on this occasion he waived the
rule; quitting his place, he advanced ten
PAGES toward the Patriarch, and, taking
him by the hand, made him sit be-
side him. He then gave him, as a
token of the renewal of his spiritual
authority, sceptre, which even to the
present day, on occasions of high CEREMONY

New York SUM-

MONTREAL, July 8.-The excitement which
has been smOuldering since last July has
again burst forth with renewed force. Last
year the Orangemen consented to forego their
excursion and go to church as individuals,
without even ribbon, and yet one of their
number, Hackett was killed. There has been
all along q desire to crush the Orangemen,
and this found vent few weeks ago in the
utterance of Alderman Donovan, who, from
his seat in the Council chamber, publicly de-
clared that should the Orangemen dare walk
on the twelfth instant, the streets of Montreal
would be turned into butchers shambes.
Thereafter the meetings of the mayor and
aldermen were the scenes OF elimination.
Meantime the Orangemen of Ontario having
learned that Mayor Beaudry had refused pro-
lection to their Montreal brethren, volunteered
to throw into Montreal 1000 men if required,
to see to it that their brethren should enjoy
their right to parade.
Alarmed at this state of things, meeting
of magistrates was called on Friday last.
1t was packed by Ribbonmen, with Mayor
Beaudry at their head. The mayor, having
prepared a list of resolutions giving him full
charge of the city and authorizing him to
stop the Orange procession, had the satisfac-
ton Of seeing his previous mismanagement
approved. and full powers given him OF doing
what he pleased. Accordingly he put forth
proclamation, warning all persons against
collecting In the public streets on the twelfth
of July, aimed merely at stopping the Or

A very peculiar crime is that of which Will
liam Norris, of Independence, o., is accused.
Norris, married man, twenty-sx years old,
wished to get, rid of little Allie Berry, so he
chloroformed her. made an incision with a
knife In her foot, injected poison into the
wound, and then raised the alarm that she
had been bitten by snake. The child, at
last accounts, was in a dying condition, and
Norris was under arrest, with Imminent pros

1t is probable that many Of our readers
have remarked the tone now adopted in
books Tor the young; books written not
merely for amusement, but instruction;
books not addressed to the parents, but
their children ridiculing old restraints;
assuming that the race has been op.
pressed long enough by absurd restric-
tiOns; that children have come into the
world to make noise; that it is the
part OF good parents to put up with 1t,
and to make every household arrange
ment with view to their sole pleasure
and convenience. We give short en-
tract: "My house is bcar-garden,"
says papa, from Il Babel of sounds.
Wife, cannot you control those chill
dren" Mamma only smiles; she is the
gentlcst, sweetest, hest little mother in
the world. You know what good
mother means? 1t means, among other
things, ono nerves." "no headaches"
"no fancics," no thought of self !" and
so she only smiles at the racket going
on. Is not this as much as to say that
the children of the house are masters ol
the house; that if the father complains
that his house is turned into a bear
garden, he is a grumbler; that the real,
true and admirable mother prefers her
children's pleasure to her husbands
comfort; that if the mother has
"ncrves" and headaches" it is her
duty to suppress them, rather than they
shall be inconyenienced? Some may
think that We are turning a joke into Il
serious matter: but it is not a joke to
instill into children's minds that this is
a pleasant state of things, and that those
boys and girls are fortunate who can set
at defiance all rules Of domestic law and
order. Books which teach lessons like
these are positively injurious to the
YOung.

At night Cheyenne is a whirlpool Of

solomon tells us that there is Il time
for all things; time to weep, time to
laugh, to dance, and to play. Surely
the time to laugh, play and dance comes
most appropriately in the long, pleasant
evening hours.
1t is well for the women of the house
hold to remember that the pleasant
evenings at home are strong antidOtes to
the practice Of looking for enjoyment
abroad, and seeking for pleasure in for

in the home circle the diversion they
need.
A Lively game, an interesting book
read aloud, or, in musical families, n
new song to be practiced, will furnish
pastime that will make an evening pass
pleasantly. A little forcthought during

How the Poor are Buried in Naples.

A fitting fnjs to the career of the Nca-
pOlitan poor is the method of their
burial in the Campo Santo Nccchio. In
death, rs in life, they are hcrdcd to-
gether. A bare, paved space, incloScd
by wall, three hundred and sixty-Iive
stones covering 50 many pits, of which
one is opened each day for the reception
of the dead; movable crane, with Il
metal coffin suspended by chain. Such
is the set.scepc, such the properties of
the last act of the tragedy! Every even
ing, at half-past six o'clock, one of the
awful holes is opened, the corpses
brought for interment are hauled with
indecent roughness from their pauper
shells; the priest sprinkles them with
holy water, and hurriedly gabbles the
prayer for the dead Then each in its
turn is thrown into the box attached TO
the crane, the bottom of the box gives
way on the pressure of a spring, and the
body crashes down to join the heap Of
corruption below Laughing boys and
weeping mourners press Ia the pits
edge to gaze at the CHASTITY sight; the
creaking Of the machine mingles with
cries OF despair. A crowd of lOOkcrs-on
eagerly note the number of the dead,
thelr sex and aye, in order to choose
lucky numbers for the lottery.
