THE SULTAN or TURKEY.
The Discomfort Of Being the Head Of the
Turkish Empire.

The discomfort commonly conceded to at

Turkey. In his disposition the present Sultan
Is naturally the most alniable OF men, and he
has given fewer OF his wives the sack than
possibly any predecessor that was allowed to
FIVE long enough to become acquainted. He
is fond OF the pleasures Of the table; Ia fact,
hereditariIy addicted to good eating, and can
stand as much rest as any padisha that
Turkey has had. Az a ConatanfiDopie eorre-
spondent writes to the Cologne G0zette, che Is
ol- of the best and nobiest sovereigna who
have ever sat upon q Turkish throne" Ia
qu.eter times he would have become tho Idol
OF his people, but he has proved incapable OF
dealing with the difficulties OF his situation.
50 beset and harassed - he by the intrianes
Of his palace, SO crushed is he By the late at
fear OF conspiracies and Instructions and OF
Involuntary suicide with the scissors, that
MS brain has given way, and he lives in
"manaeai fear OF assassination"
He never sleeps for two nights In succession
In the same bed; all his food and drink has to
be tasted in his presence before he will touch
it; he thinks his ministers and all others at
him, and instead OF being a Jolly and happy
mortal, he Ia the most wretched Of men in the
midst ofaI his miserable spiendor. The only
persons In whom he seems to repose the
Slightest confidence are a few officers Of the
household, and they enjoy more power than
the ministry itself. The correspondent quoted
describes how "only the other day d con-
tractor who had applied for a concession
which the Grand Vtzer and his ministers
rightly refused to grant, as being incomoatl,
bic with the interests OF the country, obtained
it from the Sultan by the simple process OF
making present OF e45,ooo to the chief
a11nunn."

The Eattle Of the nanmre.

President and Mrs. Hayes sat talking Id
their Fremont home the other evening with a
group Of guests, when Gen. Sherman was
called upon to tell the story Of the Battle OF
the Msnmee" "WelI," said that genial war
rior, ''it was during what was called the Mich
igan war, when the border inhabitants OF
Michigan and Ohio were quarreliDg over q,
strip Of territory. The dispute became 30
warm tGat a resort WAS made to arms, and the
Ohio party raised about 1900 men from all the
neighboring towns, while the Michiganders
were not much behind the opposition. On
the eve Of battle the two formidable armies
were divided by only board fence, and pick
ets were stationed along the line. Word got
abroad somehow that during the night there
was to be surprise attack made, and dread
full slaughter must surely eDsue; so, when a
mysterious noise as Of a stealthy step ap-
preaching was heard by one Of the sentinels,
he became terribly excited and called out In
the direction of the noise. Receiving no an
swer, he leveied his piece and fired, after
which he threw it down and ran for dear life.

American Ex Dorrs OF Grain.

The Eco7eomiste Francois traces the devel-
opment OF the exports OF corn from the United
States to Europe since 1870. In that year the
cereals sent to this side OF the Atlantic
years later 1t had increased to s7O00,0O0. In
1874 it amounted to nearly 10a 000, 900 but Ii
the next year but one sank to 1o1 100000. This
relapse was, however. amply compensated by
an increase In the following year to127, 900, ,000
and in 1873 there was almost as great an adj
vance which brought the total to exactly
lat 0o0, 900. It Is mentioned as q well ascer-
tanned fact that of these totals Great Britain
absorbs two-thirds, while France is only a
customer to the extent OF 5 per cent The
this steady increase, alarming as it may seem
will continue indefinitely. Il believes, on the
contrary, that its Development has now
reached it's utmost limit.
