ed and learned Greek, who has always
been in the diplomatic service, and oc-
cupies now the post of Minister OF Pub
lie Works. He speaks French and En-
glish quite fuently, but seems to be too
modest and timid a man to be able sue
cessfully to negotiate with people OF the
stamp of those with whom he sits in the
Congress. At home, it is said, his wife,
nee Aristarchi, is much more of Min
ister than he is.
Mehemet Ali Pasha is already known
In this country. He is a German by
birth, and Frenchman by descent.
His fathers name was Detroit. The
famous Ali Pasha took fancy to the
boy. and brought him up with all the
care he could have bestowed upon his
own son. His first military success was
in the war with Montenegro. After the
passage of the Danube by the Russian
troops he was appointed to the post OF
Commander-in-Chief of the Army OF
was replaced by Suleiman Pasha.
France is represented by her Minister
of Foreign Affairs, William Henry Wad-
dington, and by the Count de Saint Val

numismatics and literary man of dis
tinction. He entered political life only
in 1871. Theirs appointed him Minis
ter of Public Instruction, a post which
he has siuce occupied several times.
He has held his present office only since
last October.
The Count de Saint Vallier is di-
plomatist of the routine kind. He Is
young t43) handsome, elegant, and a
man of social culture. He has always

gained distinction as a Commissiomer

The two Italian representatives are
Count Corti and Count de Laun ". fhe
former is Minister Of Foreign Affairs the
latter Ambassador at Berlin. Co mt
Corti knows Turkey and the Turks Well,
for he has lived at Constantinope for
many years. The role of both in the
Congress is secondary one. All thsy
have to do Is to look out for their coun-
try's interests in the Adriatic. The fate
of Turkey does not concern them at all.

The Value of Cyprus to England.

Situated Just on the coast of Syria,
commanding the sea-way to the Gull OF
Scanderoon and the mouth of the
Orontes, and, therefore, the Mediter-
ratieau entrance to the Valley OF the
Euphrates, Cyprus, with its deep har-
bors, offers singular advantages to a
power interested in India, but unable
for the moment to secure possession OF
its natural gateway, the Valley OF the
Nile. It would be impossible, il Eng
land were once seated there, for any
power to attack Egypt or Syria by sea
without her full consent, while the is
land itself, as possession, oilers some
singular advantages. 1t is probably the
one place in the world which could De
easily turned into store-house of TIM
Der for the National Dock-yards. Much
of its mountain ranges is already cloth
ed with forests, which belong, we be-
Nfieve, to the State; the oak grows in
profusion. and the cedar of Lebanon
would be in q home where it would
need no administration. The forests
could be protected by the State with any
needful care, without interfering with
the people, who have been reduced by
oppression and misgovernment to 10O,-
600, perhaps a twelfth of their proper
number, and who for years to come
would be employed in re-peopling and
resubduing the beautiful valleys, where
every cereal and every known fruit will
reach perfection. The tobacco
plant and the apple will grow in
Cyprus almost side by side. With
little care and energy in the
formation of tanks, on the South India
plan, to be formed by the torrents which
now waste themselves down the hills,
+ Cyprus would have all the natural adj
yantages of Jamaica, a better climate,
and population now degraded indeed,
but once among the most industrious
and enterprising in the world. Within
10 years, In o-Indian hands, the Is
land would pay all expenses, provide
much of the wood needed for the dock
Yards, and be in a fair way toward that
prosperity which to be full must wait
for the recovery of the population, now
depressed by misgovernmeDt, debased
by want of freedom, and declining In
number through want of the means OF
subsistence. 1t is useless to be indus
trious when, if a man prospers, his pros
perity enriches Pasha, but under Brit
ish rule Cyprus would supply half the
cities of Eastern Europe with cut mar
bles, fine tobacco, fruit and the liquors
for which the sweet grape of the island,
now used to make abominable wine, are
so well suited. The island might be a
splendid garden, thrice the size of Suf-
| folk, and from the extraordinary va
ricsy of its climate sal itarium for the
wealthy invalids of Europe, even if we
could not succeed in the very interest

A Generous Miner.

After all, these Virginia City miners
have big, generous hearts. The other
evening one of them, who was finishing
up a weeks spree in Frisco, stepped
out of the Palace after dinner, aud ran
against haggard-looking, shabby-gen-
teel woman who was weeping upon
corner. "What is the matter, marin! !"
said the miner respectfully. She told
him a sad story-poverty, sickness,
large family of children, nothing to do,
nothing to wear. Is that the best
frock you've got?" said the rough fell
low, gently. She said it was. Hefelt in
his pocket. 1t contained one twenty,
which he had intended to devote to wine
and wickedness that evening. Stop
here moment, marm," and he lodged
around the corner and into dry-goods
store. In few minutes he returned,
and, pressing small bundle into the
poor woman's hand, disappeared with
the air of man who had done kind
action gracefully. The starving woman
eagerly undid the package. 1t contain
ed pair of embroidered silk stockings.

Cyprus, the island which Turkey has Just
ceded to Great Britain, in return for guar
antee of protection of Turkish dominions In
Asia ON the part of the latter, and to which
British force has already sailed, is the most
eastern of the Mediterranean islands, lying
midway between Asia Minor and Syria. Its
length is about l4s miles, and width-except
in the northeast extremity, where it mar
rows to l5 miles-about 40 miles. Its area
is about $500 square miles, and present
population 10000. the majority of whom
are Greeks, though there is a large number
Of Turks. 1t has been under the rule of the
Turks for more than 800 years, having been
taken by them from the venetians. Under
the Venetians the island had at one time
population Of 1000 600, and attained great
splendor and prosperity, but has greatly de-
clined under the Turks, though of late years
its prosperity has somewhat increased. 1t

were developed by an enterprising people,
1t might regain much of its old-time fame.

The threatened disturbances at Montreal,

Orangemen finally consented TO abandon
their parade in the interest of the public
peace, the Mayor assuring them protection

II has been insisted upon in favor OF
Mr.. Hayes that his-integrity of character
was such that it was impossible he could
ever have been consenting party 10 a
fraud. The evidence was conclusive that
be was not lawfully elected, and that he
was only made President by false and
fraudul. mt returns, and the circumstances
indicated very clearly that Hayes was
cocnizant of the cheating and willing
tn protit bv il. In answer to this IL was
said that Mr.. Hayes, whatever his defects
might be. was emincntly proper man
"a sort of born Sunday school
teacher-a goody, from his cradle up,
with character of such purity that moth
ing impure could ever come near him.
III he was not great, he was at least
good. ,
From time to time, As the true charac-
Ter of Mr. Hayes has gradually become
known, the common opinion of him has
been undergoing great change. He is
no longer looked upon as either great or
good. He has not the directness, the
franknrSs, the good fai h # ordinary
men, His ways are mysterious anu ue-
yiou-. He is a sneak.
An example of the real character of
Mr. Hayes has just been laid before the

man had been stoutly denying that a Sur

appointed or selected when, to his great
a,tonlshment, he found that at the very
time he was making this denial Mr. Hayes
had filled the place without consulting or
even notifying him.
Now it is not matter of public con
cern how MT. Hayes as an individual
treats Mr.. Shcrm ~ rs an lnhVlduaI; but
the official conduct of the man occupy
ing the place of President OF the nlted
State, toward the Secretary of the Trea-
>ury of the United States is matter OF
public concern. The surveyor ot the
Ilort of New York i, a very important
officer. Tie secretary of the treasury
should have Voice in his selection. 10
