ARE oil our pretty romances to be
rudely dispelled? The latest attack of
the voracious historian is made upon
the Battle OF Lookout Mountain We
have all seen or read of the picture of
that event so graphically portrayed by
one Of the great artists. And now
comes the historian backed by innum-
cradle generals and colonels, including
Gen. Grant, and says there was no bat
tie upon the mountain at all. Gen.
Grant himself says: "The battle of
Lookout Mountain was one Of the ro-
mances of the war. There was no such
battle and no action worthy to be
called battle on Lookout Mountain"

Crucifixon in China.

THE following account of q crucifiX-
L ion in China, interesting because of
its resemblance to those mentioned in
scripture, is by Mr.. James of Annoy,
who witnessed it on the 28th of Octo-
ber, 1868:
The victim was a well-known thief,
whose principal offense was that of steal
ing young girls and selling them for
prostitutes. The cross was of the Latin
form, the foot being inserted in stout
plank, had nails driven through his
feet, his hands stretched and nailed to
the cross beam. His legs were fastened
to the cross with an iron chain, his
arms bound with cord, and in the cord
around his waist was inserted piece of
wood on which was written his name
right arm contained his sentence, name
ly-to remain, day and night, on the
cross until he died. Another on his left
arm had the name of the Judge, with
his title and offices,
The criminal was nailed to the cross
inside the Yamun, in the presence Of
the magistrate, and then carried by four
coolies to one of the principal thorough
fares leading from the city, where he
was left during the day, but removed at
night inside the prison, for fear of his
friends attempting to rescue him, and
again carried forth at daylight in charge
of two soldiers.
He was crucified at noon on Wednes-
day, and Mr.. Jones conversed with him
at five in the evening. He complained
of pain in his chest and thirst. On
Thursday he slept for some hours, when
the cross was laid down in the Jail COM
pound. No one was allowed to supply
him with food or drink; and during the
day there was quite fair in front of the
cross, people being attracted from dis
tance, and the sweetmeat vendors driv-
ing large trade.
On Saturday he was still alive, when
the Tota was appealed to by foreigner
to put an end to the wretch's suffering
and he Immediately gave orders that
vinegar should be administered, which
he expected would produce immediate
death. But the result was otherwise,
and at sunset, when the cross was taken
within the Jail, two soldiers with stout
bamboos, broke both his legs and then
strangled him,

Turkish Wives.

T'IRST among Turkish social topics is
i that of the harem. The Koran al-
lows a Mussulman to have four wives
and many persons have consequently
imagined that polygamy is the rule in
Turkey, whereas 1t is the exception. A
Mussulman may have as many wives as
he can keep in comfort; and 1t is only
the very rich who can afford to keep
four. The middle-class Turks have only
one wife apiece the men of the lowest
class are often obliged to remain single
from not having the means to support
consort in the style which the Moslem
law enjoins. Nothing can be more un-
Turkish than the Mormon idea of ac-
cumulating a number of women to live
under one roof,quarreling in the kitchen
and parlor, and acting as household
drudges for their husband. The Turk
ish wife is not slave; the chief fault to
find with her is that she has too lofty
sense of her own dignity. An advocate
of female rights would have some diff
Guilty in persuading her that her lot was
pitiable; she has never envied the eman-
cipation of Christian women, whose free
ways shock her while she has noticed
that they get much less respect from the
men of her faith than that which is in
variably vouchsafed to herself She
wells her face with no more regret than
Western lady unveils her shoulders.
Turkish women are not shut up. They
go out when they please, attended by
their odaliks if rich, or holding their
children by the hand and their mag
pie voices fill the bazars, for they are
noisy takers. Wherever they pass men
of all creeds stand aside deferentially.
If husband meets his wife in the
street, he makes no sign of recognition
if he perceives her halting before
draper's stall and gazing significantly at
silks dearer than he can afford, he must
possess his soul in resignation, mutter-
ing Mashallah." This respect for
women prevails also in the home circle,
and it comes naturally to the Mussul-
man, who has been taught from his boy
hood to behave courteously to the softer
sex.
The Western conjugal expression
about " wearing the breeches'' has its
Turkish counterpart in the phrase to
live under the slipper" and it is to
be feared that not a few Turks know
the taste of this implement of uxorial
persuasion. A hamal (street porter
| once came before a cadi to complain that
his wife trounced him too frequently.
'' See what mine does" answered the
magistrate, opening his gown and show
ing some welts on his neck and shoul-
ders. Go thy way, my son and thank
Allah thou art lucker than II

The Difference.

One young lady rises early, rolls up
her sleeves, goes in the kitchen to get
breakfast, or insists upon doing so, and
afterwards with cheerful and sunny
smiles, puts the house in order without
the assistance of " Mother" She will
make good wife and render home a
paradise. Young man, "get her."
Another young lady is parlor beauty,
pallid from dissipation and want of ex-
erclse, reads novels and almost dies of
laziness, while the poor old mother does
her washing. She is useless piece of
furniture, an annoyance to the husband
