The Great Bazaar of Constantinople.


After threading a narrow street,
lined with shops of the tobacconlsts,
you pass, it seems, under an old arch
way festooned with vines, and arrive in
front of large stone edifce, through
which runs long, straight, covered
way, fanked by dark shops and crowd
ed with people, cases, sacks, crates,
canisters, caddies, and heaps Of mer-
chandise. Here you are met by 80
strong an odor OF drugs and spices
that it almost hurls you backward:
This is the Egyptian bazaar, sort OF
ante.chamber to the great mart, where
in are gathered all the Indian, Syrian,
Arabian, and Egyptian wares, that,
afterward reduced to essences, pastes,
powders, and unguents, go to dye the
faces and figures of odalisques, to per-
fume rooms and baths, breeths, boards,
and dishes, to reinvigorate exhausted
pashas,, calm unhappy wives, stupefy
smokers, and to spread dreams, lnto1-
cation, and forgetfulness over S'amboul:
After advancing a few steps you feel
your head swim and retreat; but the
sensation of that warm, heavy atmo-
sphere, and those inebriating perfumes
follows you into the outer air, and re-
mains vivid in the memory as one OF the
most powerful and significant impress
sions OF the East. Presently you reach
the bazaar proper, which is an immense
stone structure, fenced with high gray
walls and surmounted by hundreds OF
little cupolas, perforated to let in dim
light on the interior spaces. This is
not so much an edifice as q rooted
labyrinth of arcaded streets, bordered
by sculptured columns and pilasters-a
veritable crypt.liko city, with mosques,
fountains, crossways and squares, along
whose thoroughfares press not only foot
passengers, but carriages, sedan chairs,
horsemen. and camels. There are a
hundred little bazaars embraced in this
vsst enclosure, each kind OF goods
having it's particular quarter, its street,
corridor, and square. Every one OF
these compartments is odd and pictur-
esque, every shop door the frame OF a
picture full of color and fancy.

How We Start Indian Wars.

From an exchange we reprint some
statements made by an army officer who
has been acting as Indian agent at the
Spotted Tail reservation. No one can
read this story-told not by a sentimenta-
list, but by member of class which was
never accused of loving the redskins
without wondering why Indian wars
ever cease. Turned out OF their old
homes, moved from pace to place, and
sometimes in the dead of winter and
without adequate transportation, cloth
ing or food he'd to in the most shameful
manner and apparently by the highest
officiaIs in Il land; starved, their hunt
ing grounds gone, their attempts at ci vii
lzation d dscoursged-all these abuses have
one single band of Indians endured, ac-
cording to this officer, aud any man who
has lived on the border can add to the
shameful list. Had these savages a tithe
of the moral sensibillty of white men
they wou take the warpath and never
ieave IL, and no true man would blame
them. The officer lays most ofthe blame
upon the agents, who as class lie, steal
and misreprt sent affairs to suit them
selves; but the nation, the Indian
Bureau, Congress and the Executive, are
directly responsible for the appointment
and retention of rascals at posts of such
grave Importance. The inspection of
agencies which has been begun is q step
IN the right direction, but it proceeds too
slowly for the Interests of Justice
aud peace, even were it unadvisable
to clear ourselves, in Indian eyes, of the
suspicion of being a nation Of liars,
thieves and brutes.-Herdld.

A PHILADELPHTAN KILLED BY
LIGHTNING

The PottsUown Ledger of Tuesday
gives the following particulars of the
death of Philadelphian by lightning,
and the serious injury of his companion.
Robert Townsend and Edwin Robarts,
two young men who reside in Philadel-
phia, aged about twenty six years, have
been accustomed for number of years
past to pay William Humphrey Morre,
who resides in Port Providence, M ont
gomery county, near Phpnixville, visit,
which usually lasts fortnight, during
the summer On Monday evening, the
9th instant, Townsend and Robarts, ac-
companied by Mr.. Humphrey Moore,
repaired to the Schuylkill river for the
purpose of taking bath. After remain
ing in the water a short time, Mr..
Moore, who had some duties to attend to
at home, left his companions enjoying
themselves in the water. Having arriv-
ed at home, and after waiting there some
time, Mr.. Moore became anxious about
his companions, and when darkness COM
menced to set in, with about twenty men
that had been collected in the neighbor-
hood. started in search of Townsend and
Rotarts. Poor Townsend was discover
ed lying dead on the bank of the river
about o'clock p. M, his body showing
unmIstakable signs of having been struck
by lightning. For Robarts every part OF
the river bank was searched until l0 o.
clock in the evening, Wnen an ouJtcI
was seen floating on the water, winch
was generally supposed to be a lot of
ducks. Closer examination revealed the
sad fact that it was the insensible body OF
Mr.. Townsen1s companion, Robarts.
Like the unfortunate Townsend, Edwin
was supposed to have met the same fate,
but such happily was not the case. Ro-
barts' body was completely paralyzed'
and he could not hear, speak or move.
r,t-. Aaath hxy drnwnlnD iS
wonderful, as he had been in the water
nearly five hours. DR.. N. A: Pennypack-
er was fortunately within a short distance
from the spot at which the unfortunate
man was found, and did all in his power
to resuscitate Robarts. Both men were
carried to the house of Mr.. Moore, where
they are now lying.
The condition of Mr.. Robarts was
somewhat Improved this morning, and
Coroner Long, Montgomery county,
has been summoned 10 hold an inquest
on the body of Mr.. Townsend.

A touching scene took place in Boston
on Monday night last when Mr.. Dennis
Kearney, of the Pacific Slope, undertook
compliment to his dear friend Benja-
min F. Butler. In alluding to this dis
tinguished statesman and warrior he
mixed up Macbeth, Rupert and Navarro
in the most artistic manner-for, like
Cerberus, according to Mrs. Malaprop, he
is three gentlemen at once--and so
wrought upon the feelings of his audience
that Fanueil hall rang with the cries,
''Say it again !" Instead of repeating the
dose, however, he wound up the compli-
ment by referring to Benjamin's "bold
and outspoken action in behalf of down
trodden humanity" and of course this ap-
peal for his friend again brought down
the house. Now if anybody in this wick
ed world knows anything about "dowIl
trodden humanity" it is Benjamin, for
during the late civil war he pleasantly
occupied himself in treading down about
as much humanity as it was possible for
anyone to accomplish in the same spaceof
time.-Bdltimor Gazette.
