A Partisan Sunday.

1t was too beautiful to lose sight of,
we thought, but were soon whirled on
into Des Italians, and passed Porte St,
Martin aud Porte St. Denis, and with
each step away from the Madelaine lost
something of the brilliapcy and life.
Everywhere the theaters were open (this
was Sunday nigh) ard the people were
pouring in. The cafes were filled in
side, and sidewalk tables were all Occu-
pied with families who sat drinking their
wine and talking, and winding in and
out. In the midst were girls selling
flowers, newspaper boys, or rather old
women, and the families of the poor
wended their quiet way, enjoying what
they might in all this gay scene. Thus
l saw Paris on a Sunday night, and
when l thought of our quiet, or
derly Puritan Boston and staid Phila-
delphia, with their Sunday-keeping, in
contrast with all this, l could but think
all these cities contain thousands of hui
man beings, all made alike, all born to
the same final destiny, all worshiping,
in their own way, one God and Father,
and the question arose, who are rightF
If Protestant Sabbath-keeping America,
what of these? If what is considered
as keeping Gods law in Boston is in
deed according to His will, what thinks
He of the Partisan Sunday, where the
great races all come off on that day,
where the Bois de Boulogne is alive
with gay turnouts, and all the thought
seem to be for enjoymentP Can He ap-
prove the two? If not, which is right
and where rests the wrong with other
nations! Let who can answer this
question, and until it can be answered
let not one of us cast the first stone,
but doing what we consider right our
selves, let us hope all will be right with
the rest of the world.-PGYjs Cor. B0S'
ton Traveller.

4 Bird-Eating Trout.

A correspondent Of L01od and Water
tells a well-credited story ola trout caught
in the act of swallowing a sparrow which
it had seized. The trout had been kept
for some time in an open shallow well
or spring, and had become very tame.
In the we'll was a flat stone, one end OF
which projected above the water. On
this small birds would alight to drink,
and the villagers suspected that more
than one of them had fallen victim to
the trout's rapacity. This Surmise prov
ed to be correct, for one day, while the
owner of the well was passing with
some friends, splashing in the water
caused them to turn and look. There
was the trout struggling hard to gulp
his prey. One of the spectators, fear
ing that the fish would be choked by the
wing feathers, thrust his hand into the
water and caught hold of them. But the
trout, unwilling to surrender any part
of his prize, held on resolutely, and the
feathers had to be taken from him by
force.

A Deyil-Fish Caught OFF the Florida
Coast.

n. T. Johnson, L. B. Harmed, and
f. S. Johnson, jr. have returned from
q trip to Apalachicola and the gulf, af-
ter having spent most pleasant time,
fishing, sea-bathing, and cruising
around. They boarded the steamer
Julia St. Clair at Columbus, with par
ty from that place. They report that
the party landed the first
devil-fsh that was ever caught
on that coast. 1t was estimated that it
weighed 5000 pounds, and measured
fourteen feet across, and about twelve
in length. 1t was first struck with a
harpoon, and took the boat around the
gulf at a lively rate, until the second and
third harpoons were put in the fish. 1t
required the united strength of quite a
number of men to pull it on the boat

The Berlin Discussion.

According to the Berlin correspond
entS, who catch the chit-chat about the
dolngs of the dignitaries in the Radzi.
will Palace, there does not appear the
slightest probability that BeacUnsfeld
intends to adhere to his former policy of
propping up the Porte. To be sure he
told Bismarck that he did not come to
Berlin to yield; but he has already yield
ed, in very pronounced manner, to the
Eastern situation thrust upon Europe by
Russia. The abandonment of the policy
OF non-interferenCe in Turkish affairs is
the distinguishing feature of Beacons-
held'S present policy, and the disposition
OF the territory which lay at the mercy
OF the Car after the war, shows that
what England declined to do in 1875,
when Andrassy proposed an European
Commission to regulate the Porte's
provinces, and what she declined to do,
after the Constantinople Conference (of
which she was member) proposed the
occupation Of the territory of the Sui
tan'S feudatories by mixed European
troops to secure justice for the Chris
tians, England now agrees to, besides
reducing the Sultan's suzeralnty to a
mere name.
Russian influence will extend to the
Balkans. Turkish influence south of the
Balkans is to be superseded by European
influence. The Sultan looking out of
the windows of the Yordiz Kiosk at Con-
stantinople beneath him; the Sea of
Marmora and the Asiatic hills stretching
away to the south and east; the plains of
Thrace on the west; the forest of Bel
grade, the silvery threading of the Bos-
phorus and the shadows of the mountains
overhanging the Black Sea on the north,
with this grand panorama before him,
Abdul Hamid can only reflect how it is
all slipping from the Ottoman grasp,
and how the power which most persist
emily backed Turkish territorial integri-
ty in the past is now among the fore
most to declare, by word and act, that
the MOslem game in Europe is played.
That is the aspect of the case as far as
can be gathered from Berlin briefs.
Russia ought to be satisfied with the
Bulgarian boundary at the Balkans.
That Epirus, Thessaly and Crete, and
the part of Macedonia which is Greek,
will be added to the Kingdom OF Greece,
notwithstanding the Turkish protest, is
reasonably certain. If it is not done
now by the Powers, the Greeks will
walk over and take the territory they
have so long claimed themselves. In
all these southern Turkish provinces
there are Sclavs, but the Greeks pre-
pOnderate. They want the national
frontier, which was denied them in 1882
by the Powers. To have a national
frontier they must make their northern
boundary as high up as Philippopolis.
1t is to get a national boundary that
Greece demanded a voice at the Berlin
Congress. 1t will be the quintessence
of meanness if the Powers obstruct her.
