POOR TURKEY

Struggling through the revolutions of
the later years in a vain endeavor to
maintain her erewhile proud position
as one of the leading powers of this ter
restrial elod, blind devotee Of Moham-
med and a blind devotee Of her harems;
poor in purse, effeminate in strength,
and desperate in war, she, who has
leaned upon England in the past and
been supported, looks to proud Brit
tania for further protection in vain. The
time Of her tribulation is Indeed come.
All lalong the present century, whether
the attacking force that fitted out its
expeditions against the Turks was COM
posed of the soldiers Of Russia, Austria,
or France, England has interfered when
ever the Crescent was in danger Of being
overridden by the Cross, aud demand
ing fair play for her weaker sister, has
succeeded in securing it. But England
does not want TO again imbrue her hands
in human gore. Her alliances with
Russia and Austria are such as make

key, poor devoted worshiper of the
prophet, wells her head in the desolation
OF her mourning, aud refuses to be COM
forted because her scepter has departed.
But what is to become Of England if
she still remains neutral? VIII not
Russia, flushed with victory and mad
for further conquest, compel her to the
fray?
Humanity in the aggregate is so
much like humanity in the individual,
that the more powerful is always ready
to eneroach upon the weaker. Either
England must fight or be herself con-
quered. Such is the spirit of conquest
throughout the world. But were the
governments of the earth composed
equally of men and women in domin-
ion, as God created them, and as they
ought to be, we might live to see the
day-dawn of the time yet to come when
nations shall learn war no more.
Dr. Talmage, who has vehemently
opposed wOman's enfranchisement, and
who yet fails to see his inconsistency
with himself, says that England's throne
is the purest in Europe, if not in the
whole world. "The girl Victoria, kneel-
ing by the side Of her ecclesiastical ad-
wiser, the night before her coronation,
made VOWS to God and England, not
one Of which has she ever broken" says
this advocate Of masculine supremacy.
And yet, he acknowledges to-day the
success of her reign, though he does not
stop TO shed one tear OF pity, as does
England's gracious queen, upon the
blighted prospects Of ambitious but ef-
Terminate Turkey.
81 am glad Turkey is crushed he
says. 'She was an old butcher. But
the question now is, What shall be done
with the carcass? ? Where are the spades
long enough TO dig hole deep enough
TO bury it? If England halts, she be-
comes a second-rate power. If she
marches, all Europe will be set ablaze."
II England's queen can have her sway,
England will not march. Victoria has
no ambition to see Turkey buried. Far
rather would she see her elevated from
the blood and ashes of her late over
throw, and rising as one redeemed and
transformed, deport herself hereafter as
an enlightened nation, and thus, if pos
sible, teach Russia a lesson by example |
that she has failed to inculcate by at
tempted conquest. Poor Turkey

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST;
Since writing you, have spoken twice
in the church at the Junction, and was
kindly entertained by your good friends,
Professor Campbell and lady. The Pro-
fessor has about one hundred students
in his college, while Mrs Campbell
and their daughter, Martha, have fifteen
scholars in music on the piano. My
brother has a fine school there in vocal
music, and one in Harrisburg also.
In Jefferson, in the church, last Thurs
day evening, 1 discoursed temperance,
aud here, in the new church, Sunday
evening. / had a very large audience
and last evening organized temper
ance and literary society Of seventy
members. Tonight l am to speak
upon the "Relation Man Sustains to
Woman, Legally, Socially, aud Nor
ally" Then in Marion next Thursday
evening. In Turner over the Sabbath.
In Jefferson again next Monday even
ing, on my way to Albany to attend
w. S. A, to aid, if necessary, and to be
mutually benefited thereby.
Gave my lecture in Scio, February 9th,
on the woman question. AT the close,
the audience called loudly for Rev
Miller, who took the stand and affirmed
that women already have equal rights
in all things but voting, aud he was
not in favor of that; it would degrade
them, and in the course of his remarks,
he said that the women Of SciO were
the cause of one-half of the prodgacy
and inteWperance, aud closed his famous
speech by repeating a number of Watts
psalms, Notwithstanding exclamatiOns
were heard from many, "Sit down!
You've said enoughl We don't want
any more Of that" etc. lie had talked
so long | had not time to reply, but
challenged him to meet me in discus
sion on that or any other subject the
next evening. He declined on account
Of ''family not being very we'll" So l
bade them a kind farewell, and this
morning judge of my surprise at re-
ceiving from the hands of a prominent
lawyer an invitation, signed by fifty
seven citizens, requesting me to lecture
again in the evening, giving solid facts,
for their sympathies, they said, were
with me, whoever might oppose. Before
night they had the invitation and my
reply in print, aud circulated through
out the town, which brought a large,
intelligent audience, who patiently lis
tened one hour and half. l then gave
liberty for remarks or announcements,
when the aforesaid Miller arose and
said they would discuss on the following
evening this question:
"ReSOlUed, That the women of Scio
are responsible for one-haIf the profit
gacy and intemperance of this town."
Himself and Mr.. Jones Mayor on
the affirmative, aud Lawyer Bilyeu and
Hon. Mr.. Irving on the negative. re-
gretted that could not stay and help
them, when Mr.. Irving exclaimed,
"We'll make it hot for L.,
Strange that l should such a
furore unintentiOnally, but 1 am glad
of it, for agitation Of thought begets

or even comfort. We've known that
for dozen years.-ED.

The public were admitted February
10th to st. Peters to view the remains
of the Pope. At $50 in the morning
the crowd was tremendous, and many
women tainted. \ company of soldiers
had TO enter the church to regulate the
passage Of the crowd. The body, arrayed
in pontifical robes, laid on a crimson
bed, at each corner of which stood a
member of the noble guard with drawn
sword. The bed was surrounded by twelve
large candelebra, and so placed that
the feet Of deceased were on the side Of
the altar rails in order that the faithful
may kiss them. The face was calm and
unchanged by death.

SHOWER OF ANGLE WORMS.

Millions of angle worms were
dashed to the earth by last Monday
nights rain. They were to be seen
over the ground and on sidewalks.
Where they struck the walks they
were generally mashed into jelly.
We would like to have. an ,explana-
ton Of this phenomenon, as it is Of
frequent occurrence. We remember
to have seen at Caledonia, Houston
county, afew years ago, latter astorm,
the side of a building literally covered
with these worms, in a mangled and
lifeless condition. The general sup
position is, that they are drawn in
to the clouds by water spouts, but
we question whether they inhabit
water or are ever seen In water.
The earth is their natural home, and
the only way Of finding them is by
digging down where they live

Deep in the forest Arbutus doth hide;

Why must June always disoWn me?'' she cried
Down in the meadow she stoops to the daises
Plncks the first bloom from the apple trees DOUGH
Autumn will rob me of all the sweet apples;
Will take one from her store Of them now"
