A Specimen of Turkish justice,

Three years ago a young Christian
MsrOnite in Turkey killed Mussulman
in het-hesded quarrel. After lying
ever since in prison the mother of the
victim came Onward last February and
insisted on his being sentenced 10 death.
What followed, the COnstantinople cor
respondent of the Philadelphis Press
thus describes: As the crime was proven
according to local judicial forms, she OBJ
ttained from Midhst Pasha, the governor
Of Syria, q fifman for the execution, and
day was fixed or the hanging. In vain
the notables of all creeds and races,
Mussulmans and Christians, appealed to
the old woman to be mercitul, for upon
her word depended the life of the Maro>
mite. They represented to her that if be
did do the deed it might have been in
self defense; that at any rate his guilt
wss not perfectly clear; thst he had al
resdy grievously suffered in body aud
mind by his imprisonment, and that the
people of Beyrout did not want capital
execution in their midst. Neither the
Turkish Ulemas, the Greek and Arme-
MAN bishops, or the Turkish officials
could soften the heart OF this cruel
megara. & | have the firmsn for his exc
cutioD," she said, "and his fate is in my
hands. will not spare him" In the
night of February 9Th, three hours after
midnight, he was taken from bis cell snd
led to the place of execution. An i'm
mense crowd OF people gathered around
the scaffold. There took place a scene
of the most extraordinary kind. The
woman was told by the executioner that
the mans relatives were ready to pay
her any sum in their power if she would,
as custom authorized, allow him to 90
free on the payment of blood money.
She shrieked and foamed TOR vengeance
For an hour and more she refused to be
merciful, Notwithstanding the eDtreaties
of the mass of men, women and children
In the meanwhile the young man stood
on the gallows with the halter about his
neck trembling tor his lie. Finally,
worn out by the prayers of the people,
and tempted by the high figure to which
the relatives of the Mar mite mad run up
the bid for his lie, she consented to acs
cept 900 francs as blood money. The
hangman let go his hold of his expected
victim, and handed him over to his rel
atives, who carried him off amid the
acclsmations of the spectators.

SPINACH AND Gs.-SpiDsch should

After picking the leaves from the stalk,
wash thoroughly in cold water. From
the cold water place the leaves in per-
fectly dry stew~psn, closely covered, ami
keep on the fire until the spinach be-
comes tender. When done, draw off the
water that will be found in the pan, and
then chop the spinach finely, or rub
through sieve. To every quarter pound
of spinach use an ounce of butter, q
little pepper and salt, and a half table
spoon ul of cream. Return the spinach
to the saucepan, add these ingredients
and cook ten minutes. Break the eggs
in boiling water into which some lemon
juice and a pinch of salt has been
dropped, and cook three minutes. When
done, place on the top of the spinach
and serve.

SOUTHERN FARM AND HONE.
ROts I'm HOTses-

A writer in the Courier>Journal says /;
In your issue of the Sd inst, a gentleman
OF MoultOn, Alabama, inquiries OF your
veterinary department, A" Is there re-
! liable remedy for the disease in horses
known as bots?" Now, according to the
latest theory, it is salts actorily proven
that the bot is no disadvantage to the
horse. The horse is the true and legiti-
mate propagation of the bot or gad-hy.
The egg is deposited by the gsd>hy on
the horse, and is batched out By his nip
ping or scratching with his mouth I;
these small grubs are carried into hls
mouth and thence to the stomach, which
Is their nursery. They are prepared oy
nature with two small hooks, which they
fssten into the mucous membrane, and
there they stick, never letting 60 until
| they are fully developed, ana they then
release the hold and are immediately
passed out through the bowels. In
short time they are fully grown CAD flies.
While sticking with their heads bur
rowed deep in the mucous membrane,
from which they derive their sustenance
and lite, they are ss innocent as dead

causing than to let go-what tor? to be
passed out prematurely? No. These
medicines never affect the grub, which
is naturally very hardy and tough, or
the lamentations and gases of the stom-
sCh would destroy it. Now this grub
natures in about ten months. During
two months of the year there are none in
the horse, snd nine cases out of ten fat
ulent colo would be pronounced bots,
even when there was not a bot in the
patient OF course many horses have no
bots-in cities, and stalls where they are
in The dark or covered. Some will say
this is all false, because they have seen
on post norton of horse his NAV eaten
through, even perforated by the bot, and
there could be no mistake the bot killed
him. Now, how inconsistent. What
could induce the grub to destroy his
home, the only place nature has prepared
Cor his abode? Not until disease has
changed his food to something losthsome,
nausestiug and unwholesOme does he try
TO seek something more palatable and
cOngenal tn his nature. 1t is then that
ne pc netrStes through the NAV in search
of some better food. But the horses
case is sealed before they start to leave
their old home. Now, / hope this is
plain and satisfactory, snd | hope TO
near no more OF this exploded theory
s'bOts killed him"

Professor H. G. Seeley, F. R. s., speak
ing of reptilisn life, remarks that the
differences in their bony structures is 50
crest that if their skeletons had been
known only from the fossil remains it is
doubtfulif they could have been arranged
in the present small number of grou ps,
or even in the same class. The variations
in the number of important elements in
the skeletons of reptiles, even of single
order, is very great. Thus lizards put
on the outward form of serpents, to-
gether with many structural details !;
but, as q rule the differences, when ex>
amined, one by one resolve themselves
into differences of proportion of bones
consequent upon their growth more in
one direction than another. He consid
cred the present grouping of reptiles
upon the earth's surface throws no light
upon the evolution of their character
istics, and the fossil remains afford no
indications of the characteristics OF the
several orders, but he believed that he
could show such an evolution had taken
place, though at first sight it might seem
to be in a retrograde direction.

II rs TO BE regretted that so fow of the
Wilmington people who we know love
music should have been present at the
Opera House last night to hear Miss
Thayer and her troupe of singers. 1t is
the more to be regretted when we re-
fleet that had the troupe been negro
minstrels, the house would have been
crowded. The admirable singing OF
Miss Thayer's troupe was such that
the most refined, intelligent and even
religious classes Of society could have
listened to only to have been elevated
in moral thought. Whining on is look
ed upon as city where musical talent
is appreciated, hut judging from the
sparse attendance to hear Miss Thayer
and her troupe last night, We are sorry
to be compelled TO own that negro
minstrel shows are more appreciated.
We predict a full Opera House tonight
to hear the Millard musical entertain
ment, as they have the great advantage
of being a home talent company, and
it will only cost ten cents for reserved
seats.

The EiuaNceA.

The recommendation of President
Hayes to fund the legal tender notes, has
lad to heated discussion all over the
country, and while the recommendation
finds some defenders the majority
against it appears to be overwhelming,
andthe denunciation quite severe. The
opinion is expressed that not only the
President, but Mr.. Sherman have been
completely shelved politically, and that
Senator Bayard has also made fatal
bluuder in recommending the repeal of
the legal tender clause of the green
backs now in circulation. More than
one politician has been wrecked on the
financial question, and those are fortu-
nate who steer clear of it. The currency
is good enough, and it should be let
alone. Above all i! should not be d.
minishcd by another issue of bonds.

che News from Louisiana

1t ia a pleasing story, says the fhiia-
delphia Evening "Bulletin' that hoais
up from Louisiana, only day or two
after the assurance that the Democrats
carried the State because the negros gel-
orally voted the Democratic II cket. We
learn now tor example that the reason
why Madison Parish, which gave last
year $500 Republican majority, now
gives 2 292 Democratic majorily,is that
it was thoroughly bulldozad, In the
good old louisiana fashion, just before
the election. democratic bull-dozsrs
came in from the country and made
hostile demonstrations against the col
ored men, "Dave Armstrong (Re-
publican) was hanged" "R. Brown,
late Republican postmaster, was hang
ell on Monday night" "Ex.Sherih
Peck (Republican) was whipped and
then stretched. .""The polls were taken
and the full complement of votes for the
parish were deposited in bulk by the
Democrats. The negroes and Republi-
can did not vote" The same game was
played In other parishes. The Phiia-
delphia "Times" thinks that this out
rage will "hang like a mill stone
around the necks" of the Louisiana
Democracy. Well, they have had sew
eral millstones Of that kind hanging
aroand their necks for years past, and
the "Times" always affected to believe
that no such things existed. 1t has
not bsen a fortnight since the "Times"
abused the Returning Board of 1876 for
throwing out the votes OF parishes
like East Feliciana, where precisely
this same game was played in the same
fashion and to the same end. The out
RACES of the present week were not so
bad and they will not be so-far reach
ing in their consequences as those Of
three years ago. We venture TO say
that before many weeks elapse, the
"Times," ;" the New York "Nstion" and
similar Democratic sheets will be
found ridiculing the notion that this
years election was not fair, and de-
monstrating that a huge Democratic
majority in Madison Parish was sab
stituted for a larger Republican ma
jority by absolutely fair means. The
recen. proceedings prove that former
charges against the Louisians Demo-
cracy were true; but they will not
prove it to minds fully determined 70,
to bslieve the truth.
