louia and Navarro have been interrupted by
gales and floods, chiefly in the valley OF Ebro
where the water has risen several metres
above the ordinary level and destroyed the
line between Saragossa and Catalonia for fif-
teen miles. The floods in the Valley of Tor
tosia carried away houses, mills and bridges,
and caused damage to the extent of several
million pesetes. In the upper Arragon, near
Puesca, the river Alcandre invaded several
villages, cut away the embankments and car
ried away the bridges at Sarienna. Tele-
graphic communication Is very irregular, but
the Governors Of Malaga and Almoria report
that the gale extended over the whole Of
Andalusia and caused very disastrous floods
in the rural districts and in the town Of NAL
aga. The river Almazora flooded its valley
and destroyed forty houses. Sixty persons
were drowned. .-
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 1.-The Porte has
commissioned the Ottoman bank to form a
syndicate of bankers to receive all indirect
taxes, except customs surplus, and the rev.
enue of Cyprus and Eastern Roumelian trib-
utes. Half the syndicate receipts are to be ap-
piled to the pay of the bondholders and the
remainder partly to the payment of the local
bankers who have made advances to the Porte
and partly to guarantee new loan.
MADRID, Nov. 2.-The waters of the Ebro
been resumed. Additional reinforcements
will be dispatched to Cuba Immediately.
RIO JANEIRo, Oct. 15.-Great bush fires
are raging in the Province OF Minas Gira and
siXty-seven persons have perished.
LONDON, Nov. "A Vienna dispatch is
published in the Paris journals stating that
telegram from Constantinople represents that
the relations between England and Turkey
are greatly strained. England has sent to the
Porte an ultimatum demanding the execution
of reforms in Asiatic Turkey. If the de-
mand is not complied with it is believed the
Sultan will be deposed and replaced by his
brother, who will be under the tutelary SUI
| pervision of England, France and Austria.
Russia uphods the Sultan. The foregoing is
probably grossly exaggerated. A telegram
from Constantinople to-day SAYS that Sir Aus
tin Layard, British Ambassador, will shortly
present to the Porte note insisting ON the
execution of the promised reforms in Asiatic
Turkey. The telegram further. says :-Sil
Austin Layard, having been reqaested by the
Porte to explain the object of the despatch
Of Admiral Thornby's squadron to Turkish
waters, semi-officially replied that the squad
ron would remain for the present at Veolab
but eventually might proceed to some othel
Turkish port, as England would not tolerate
the oppression of the Christians.
BuENos AYERS, Oct. 10.-The hostile
armies Oh the southern borders of Peru ar
advancing to meet each other and great bat
tie is believed imminent. Heavy rains hav'
fallen in the Argentine States, dispelling fear
of drought. The wheat crops in Santa F.
district are in very fine condition.!

Vivier, the famous horn-player and practi-
cal joker, has just given to the world his mag
nuna opus-a book entitled, Very Little Of
What We Hear Erery Day, composed of what
he calls the dried flowers of social eloquence
specimens of the laziness of the human
mind. For three years Vivier has devoted
himself to noting all the platitudes of every
day conversation, admitting none to his col
lection that he has not heard at least two hun
dred times. The following are some of his
household words:
sThey do nothing but quarrel from morn
ing to night, and yet they adore each other"
HE must live near here-we see him pass
ing about this time every day.

'sThese Precepts i'm thy Memory Keep

The Boston Transcript gives the following
nine commandments to those who write now
and then for the public press:
/. Write upon one side Of the leaf only.
Why? Bee iuse it is often necessary to cut
the pages into stakes" for the compositors,
and this cannot be done when both sides are
written upon.
2. Write clearly and distinctly, being par
ticularly careful IN the matter of proper names
and words from foreign languages. Why?
Because you have no right to ask either editor
or compositor to waste his time puzzling out
the results of your selfish carelessness.
3. Don't write in a microscopic hand. Why?
Because the compositor has to read it across
his case, at distance of nearly two feet. Also,
because the editor wants to make additions
and other changes.
4. Don't begin at the very top of the page.
Why? Because if you have written head
for your article the editor will probably want
to change it; and if you have not, which is
the better way, he must write one. Besides,
he wants room in which to write his instruc-
tons to the printer as to the type to be used,
where and when proof is to be sent, etc.
5. Never roll your manuscript. Why? Be-
cause it maddens and exasperates every one
| who touches it-editor, compositor and proof
| reader.
| 6. Be brief Why? Because people don't
read long stories. The number of readers
which any two articles have is universally pro-
portioned to the square of their respective
| lengths. That is, halt-column article is
read by four times as many people as ore of
double that length.
7. Have the fear of the waste-basket con-
stantly before your eyes. Why? Because it
will save you vast amount of useless labor,
to say nothing of paper and postage.
s. Always write your full name and address
plainly at the end Of your letter. Why? Be-
cause it will often happen that the editor will
want to communicate with you, and because
he needs to know the writer's name as guar
antee of good faith. Ifyou use pseudonym
or initials, write your name and address be-
low it. 1t will never will be divulged.
8. "These precepts in thy memory keep"
and for fear you might forget them, cut them
out and put them where you can readily run
through them when tempted to spill innocent
ink
