BURSTING OF WATER-TANK Az
THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

On Thursday aOtb. Sept. while water
was beiug pumped into the two.largs tanks at
the Crystal Palace which supply the fountains
with a view to the frework display 10 the eve
niog, one of the tanks gave way, and an apeer
ture appeared loft. square, through which the
water rushed in i e Iod. Parts OF the TANK
weighing several hundredweights, were carrlea
to a distance of 25oft. One of the servants OF
the company rushed out to see what was the mat
ter, and was ca rried away by the water to a as
lance of 900 yards before he could be rescued:
Tho same thing happened to a man who had Jus'
left bis cart to ta<e a drink of water at the foun-
tain standing in the centre of TIE Crystal Palace
Parade, but both men were rescued from the wa
ter without anv serious injury. All the trees and
shrubs in the neighbourhood Of the water towers
we're washed up, some of them being carried away
together with about 60 yards of the fence down
the Fountain. road. as far as the S~ydenham-hill
station, a distance of three-quarters OF q mile:
Tho fall of the water left a hole in the ground
after the downpour lad ceased 10 a depth OF loft.
Damage was done also to the grounds of Neigh
bouring residents. The cause of the disaster was
probably the corrosion of one of the diagonal bars
which give strength to the plates Of which the
tanks are made.

investment than this of lending the Gov
eminent a few million francs, to be strictly
devoted to the purposes he had explained.
The projected schemes, moreover, were to
be so Immediately profitable that the bank
might reckon with the most implicit conf
dence on receiving back, in the course of
a few years, both interest and principal.
Unfortunately, however, all these argu.
ments were lost on NJ. Heintze, the mana
ger; and he had to explain to the Pasha
that, although he, personally, would have
been delighted to advance him the mil
lions he required, his instructions allowed
him no discretion. He was there to do
ordinary banking business and collect GER
tain revenue which had been assigned
to the bank by way of security but he had
been strictly e%njoined to make no loans
whatever, however promising and profta-
BILE they might appear. And this was the
end of Midhat Pasha's great schemes of
public Improvement and administrative
reform. In these circumstances it would
be the height of injustice to accuse him Of
not having kept the promises which he
made on entering office; for nobody, not
even a Turkish Governor-G General, can be
expected to achieve impossibilities.-Iimes

FEARFUL OUTRAGE IN HOLLAND.

Further particulars are given of the recent
murder of a child at the Hague. It appears
that a respectfully dressed man called for the
boy at bis school to take him for a drive, as 1t
he had been charged to do so by the father.
When they reached the Downs he dismissed the
cab. The same day the parents received an
intimatiou that for $4,000 guilders the boy
would be given ups but that If the police we're
applied to be would be killed. The parents
however, did inform the police, and their son
was found strangled on the Downs.

MIDHAT PASTA.

Gemeue, writing ten days ago from
Smyrna, 'says that Midhat Pasha,
being convinced that he possessed the
sympathy of the inhabitants and
could count on their active co-opera-
ton, conceived short time since vast
schemes Of Improvement and reform
for the benefit Of the province which
he has been called upon to admins
ter. The first works he proposed to
take in hand were the drainage of the
great marshes of Halka-Bournar (the
Baths of Diana of the ancients), the
cleansing Of the sewers of Smyrna,
and the removal of the filth which
cumbers the streets, pollutes the air,
and, as an eminent physician has told
him, impairs the health of the city and
threatens at no distant date to breed
a pestilence. He next proposed, at
the instance of a clever engineer Eff
fendi, to repress the ravages of the
river Hermus, which in winter over
flows its banks and does immense
damage in the plain of Menemen.
Orders were given for the execution
of engineering works on a great scale
which, it was thought, would correct
this evil and restore 10 agriculture a
vast extent of fertile, albeit at present
unproductive, land. Administrative
reform was also to be seriously under
taken. The police were to be re-or-
ganizcd, and order and honesty en-
forced in the courts of justice. The
scandal of gendarmes being constrain-
ed, owing to the insufficiency Of their
pay, to enter into an alliance, often
sive and defensive, with all the thieves
and cut-throats of the city-the dis
grace of judges receiving brides from
rogues and other evil-doers-were to
be promptly put down. 1t was or
dered hat every caimacan, mudir,
chief of police, and president Of tribu-
nal, guilty either Of malfeasance or
robbery, should be arrested and i'm
prisoned. The municipalities were to
cease being the mere mouthpieces of
the wallis, and consider solely the in
terests Of their constituencies. The
accounts of functionaries who, with
nominal salaries of 800 francs a year,
spend 10000, were to be strictly in
vestigated and their Manifestations
severely punished and many other
measures equally praiseworthy and
desirable, were either projected or be-
gun. But energy and goodwill in a
reformer-whether he be a Midhat
or a Hamid-are, unfortunately, not
alone sufficient to accomplish reforms.
To drain marshes, embank rivers,
cleanse sewers, remove filth, pay ma
gistrates and policemen, procure
honest collectors of revenue, much
money is necessary. How was it to
be obtained Not from the revenues
of the port or the province; these are
sent regularly, to the last Genuine, to
Constantinople, for the needs of the Gov
eminent are urgent and admit OF no delay.
Midhat Pasha, not knowing whrch way to
turn, called a nedjeless %IcOuncill, but the
members were able neither to suggest q
solution of the difficulty nor to find any
money. In this emergency it occurred to
the Governor that there existed at Smyrna
a branch of the Ottoman Bank, at the door
of which are always stationed two superb
nazims in gorgeous uniforms, who give 1t
the appearance of q Government establish

And to believe you found it there?
That was the way with me you Know,
Twenty summers, at least, ago.
Only ayear, and had seen
A cheek as soft as hers had been,
And lips as sweet had met my own,
Though mine were vowed to her alone,
Vowed! but v hat was lovers oathE

Not your idea of love you say?
Well. some are never led astIay;
And some must have loved her, thou gh

A Singular Wedding.
lrglnla Chronicle

An interesting little story foated up
from Reno on this mornings train,
Last evening shortly after o'clock, a
stylish dressed young man, with young
woman of good appearance hanging on
his arm, called at the residence of one
Of the ministers at this place, and said
he wished the services of the clergy
man to unite him to the young lady.
When the pair were made husband and
wife the groom drew a fifty dollar
greenback from a fat-looking pocket
book and directed the minister to stake
SO from that" His reverence with
many thanks, took the bill, and after
dilligent search hunted $40 in coin,
which he passed to the bridegroom.
This morning the parson was making
tour of the hotel and using som ewhat
worldly language. He could find the
happy pair nowhere. and is convinced
that the marriage was mere trick to
pass q $50 counterfeit greenback on
him.

YaSeline.

A new product made from petroleum
is q jelly called 'Vaseline," which is OF
the greatest utility in medicine, phar-
macy and for toilet use. Physicians all
over the world have discovered its great
value in the treatment of wounds, burns.
skin diseases, rheumatism, catarrh and
every ailment where remedy is need
ed, and in almost every hospital in
America and Europe this substance is
now in constant use, and is acknowl-
edged not only to be the best treatment,
but also one of the most important re-
cent additions to medicine. 1t is put
up in bottles by the Cheesbrough Man
ufacturing Co., of New York, and as a
family remedy it is without doubt the
best in use. Its healing and pain allay
ing qualities being superior TO those of
any known substance, while the speedy
relief it affords for piles and chilblains
is almost magical. AS an emolient,
Vaseline is way ahead of anything else,
as it renders the skin smooth, soft and
clear, and our lady friends will find it
not only the best, but perhaps the sole
substance which will really preserve
and restore to the complexion the hues
of youth, making the cheek like velvet
and the skin like satin. The complex
ion powders In common use, are, as
rule, injurious to the skin and destruct-
i've of any complexion, while Vaseline
is entirely healthful and beneficial.
There is also made "Pomade Vasel
ine," which is said to be of great benefit
to the hair, keeping it soft and glossy,
nd
keeping the scalp healthful and free
from disease, and from those objection
able creatures which sometimes find
dwelling there. Numberless instances
are cited of how by the use of this po-
made thin and failing hair has resumed
a vigorous growth. Both the pure Vas
cline and the pomade are put up in
twenty-five cent bottles and are to be
found at all first class druggists, and we
advise our readers to make a trial of
this wonderful substance, and we think
they will find its claims to merit not in
the least exaggerated.-Su Sunday Times.
