A Specimen of Turkish Justice.

Three years ago young Christian
Maronite in Turkey killed Mussulman
in hotheaded quarrel. After lying ever
since in prison the mother Of the victim
came forward last February and insisted
on his being put to death. What followed
the Constantinople correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press thus describes: "As the
crime was proven according to local Judi
cial forms, she obtained from Midhet
Pasha, the Governor of Syria, a firman
for the execution, and day was fixed for
the hanging. In vain the notables of all
creeds and races, Mussulmans and Chris
tians, appealed to the old woman to be
merciful, fol: upon her word depended the
life of the Maronite. They represented
to her that if be did do the deed it might
have been IN self defense that at any rate
his guilt was not perfectly clear; that he
had already grieyously suffered in body
and mind by Imprisonment, and that
the people Of Beyrout didnot want CAPT.
tai execution in theirmidst Neither the
Turkish Ulemas, the Greek and Armenian
Bishops, or the Turk isll officials could
soften the heart of this cruel mepara. I
have the firma1: for his execution she
sale, land his fate is in my hands. I will
not spare him. In.the night of February
9th, three hours after midnight, he was
taken from his cell and led to the place
execution. An immense crowd of people
gathered. around the scafold.1 There took
place q scene Of tie most e1 i bsraordinary
kind. The woman was told by the execu-
toner that the mans relatives were ready
to pay her any sum in their power if she
would, as custom authorized, allow him
to go free on the payment Of blood money.

Curi0sities of Earth.

At the city Of Medina, in Italy, and
about four miles around it, wherever the
earth is dug, when the workmen arrive
at distance Of 60 feet, they come to a
bed of chalk, which they bore with an
auger, five feet deep. They then with
draw from the pit before the auger is re-
moved, and upon it's extraction the
water bursts up through the aperture with
great violence, and quickly fills the new
ly made we'll, which continues full and
is affected neither by rains nor drought.
But what is the most remarkable in this
operation is the layers of earth as we de-
scend. At the depth of II feet are found
the ruins of an ancient city, paved streets,
houses, floors and different pieces of ma
son work. Under this is found soft,
oozy earth, made up of vegetables, and
at rs feet large trees with the walnuts
still sticking to the stem, and the leaves
and branches in perfect state of preser-
walton. At % feet deep soft chalk is
found, mixed with vast quantity of
shells, and the bed is II feet thick In
der this vegetables are found again

SITKA.
The Centre of Once Valuable Commerce Re
duced to Wreck and Wreteliedness.

Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.
Sitka was once proud city, the center
OF Il valuable commerce, the headquarters
OF all that was great in name and fortune
in the Russo-American possessions. In
the zenith of the Rcmanoff dominion the
Indians were ruled with rod of iron,
and the death dealing missiles Of artillery
and muskctry peering through the stock
ade that separated the red man from the
whites we're the only reliable guarantees
of peace between the conqurers and the
conquered. Once in the distant past,
when the Indians were in the infancy of
experience with civilization, and before
their physical natures were FRUSTRATED by
corruption, they arose in savage wrath,
and wiped out the Russians in old Arch
angel a few miles north of this. With
little else to occupy their mental faculties
the traditionary grandeur Of that event
has magnified from decade, to decade,
usually leaving in the Indian mind the i'm
preston that the white man is only superb
or by being In the possession Of better
arms of destruction. The savage does
not forget any event that favors or fatters
him more than do other people, and that
he should indulge in his own Fourth of
July buncombe speeches when under the
exilaratlng potatious of hootchenoo
should not be surprising to this mixed
up communicate nationalities called the
citizens of Stika. During the latter &C.
cupancy of Sitka by the Russians there was
labor for the Russian, the half-breed, and
a market for the products Of the Indian
chase. Whatever its character might
have been, there was bread enough for
the willing worker, and comparative com
fort. The United States a dozen years
ago purchased this whilom Russian pos
session and another class of circumstances
follow in the wake of the change. For a
time portion of the citizens, not all of
them, found more, remunerative employ
ment than before, but the distinctive
character Of 5itka's past reliable business
was transferred to the islands of St.
George and St. Paul, in Behrring sea, and
the Aleutian islands, westward from here
500 to 600 miles. Every .vestige of the
Russian American Fur company has de.
parted from Sitka, and the Alaska Com.
mercial Fur company, its American sue.
cessor, has not now the interest of dol
lar where once hundreds Of thousands
marked the annual tide Of commerce
What now remains of the pleasant past is
the wreck and wretchedness of impotent
dependence everywhere visible, on the
street and in the novels Of the unfortun-
ate Russian population who elected to
remain here when Alaska was politically

and Indian population, shorn of native
prowess, weltering by their seashore vii.
