Mob ammedan Indifference to Suffer
ing. ~ .ta .l...-t.

recollected having seen at Nikopolis
or Sistova--I forget which-great piles Of
bones ready for expectation, among which
were some human skulls. also recalled
to mind that two months previously, when
| was visiting soma chemical manure
works in the north of Scotland, the man
ager showed me his bonestores from the
Black sea, and said that human bones
were often found in cargoes from that
quarter Again, q few weeks after my
visit to the Shipka, saw a considerable
number OF mems skulls and other bones
in shallow open holes in the Acropolis Of
Athens, which the local dragonan told
me where the remains OF Greeks and
Turks who had fallen in the war of indie
pendence fifty years ago. That Moham-
medans and other rude races are indrffer-
ent about burying the bodies Of those in
whom they have no special personal inter
est can well believe. With them the
feeling of sympathy for physical suffering
is almost Nonresident, If so callous
about the living, Why should they care for
the dead? Over and over again in India |
have been disguised by the cruel way they
leave dog, when disabled by boar, to
die lingering death in the jungle--from
starvation, or being eaten while still half
alive by beasts OF prey-when a prod with a
spear would have ended the poor brute's
misery. 1t is the same with baggage and
other animals. Of the 10000 camels
when died during tho 1878 10 Afghan
campaign, suppose large majority died
in one OF the other of the above horrible
ways, Ofthose that did not, we may
safely conjecture the happy dispatch was
either due to the humanity of a British
officer Or to the promptings of the
Mohammedan stomach. - Blackwood's

Grassy Valley News.

NhANFOhDSNlLlAE Aprll II,
Mr.. EDITOR: Wheat looks vely
promising farmers are hopeful.
Peaches are failure, but apples may
be plentiful. Meadows are looking
well, and stock are rejoicing. Small
crops OF corn are being planted In the
strongest land, which is being well
MANFRED by our farmers. Thus, farm.
ing is being done in decency, based
upon intelligence and good common
sense.
During last week, the Rev. Mr.. Ru.
BILE did some eloquent and effective
preaching at.Corinth. He closed the
meeting on Friday night amid most
glorious religious feeling. He IL uni-
versally loved and admired in this
surrounding country.
On Saturday and sunday / attended
the second quarterly meeting of Knox
circuit at Rocky Dale. The Rev. Mr..
Ruble OBLIGATED with great efficiency.
His sermon on Sunday morning was
one Of most thrilling power. AS a
presiding elder, he is a twin brother to
the Rev. j. J. Marker. They could
scarcely be surp sssed in this capacity.
Both have purity of character, noble-
ness OF purpose, conservation and
energy-a foundation upon which
could be built, some day, an honored
bishop. II our church In r asst Ten.
nessee only had such ministry, what
change would come over our denJm-
ination.
This is a grand country up here
rich lands, fine homes, clever and in
teIligent people. Whether Meth.
dist, Baptists or Presby terians-sll
is friendship and hospitality every,
where.
This is a grand place for the normal
school, of watch | will speak more
fully hereafter. Everything Is shap-
ing for that event. This is q grand
Methodist society here, paying iis en-.
tire assessment for the ministry
whether anything ia done or not. In
this respect especially, sit is a light
set upon a hill." This county is get.
ting ready for the Washington con-
vention.
The Rev. Mr.. Heron, the aged and
beloved pastor of the Spring Place
church, delivered most excellent lee
ture at the Fancy Hill academy on
Monday night of this week, His sub
ject WAS, Gan man live a Christian
and make the most of both worlds 2"
1t was replete with fine thought.
the audience was entertained with
some interesting sacred music. The
people OF our valley are getting ready TO
attend the Washington convention en-
mssse. On account of the fine drive
from Knoxville to the convention, the
citizens should put every foot of the
Washington road in splendid condi-
ton.
A few weeks ago O small shauty was
erected on the TaZswell pike, near the
entrance to this valley, on which was
scratched, coax Glen Saloon" A
queer looking specimen OF humanity
stood behind q slab counter now
and then to sell "bitters" to wagoners.
The man was about to "starve out"
but not soon enough to suit the citi-
zsns. A few nights ago they called on
him, and the result ia a smashed.in
shanty and q missing vagrsnt, who
was seen going in the direction of
Knoxville the next day with his
effects. He should have enjoyed the
application of coat OF "tar. and-feath.
eIs." The very idea Of q man setting
up drinking saloon" ;n'this valley
OF pure society is beyond endurance.

The Alphabat.

The Greeks themselves believed that The
old Ph@nician colony in BGotian Thebes
was the source and centre from which the
alphabet was pread throughout the country.
Ksumus, "the eastern" for such is the
meaning of his name, was its mythical in.
ventor. though later legends told how the
crafty Palsmedes and the poet Simonides
subsequently, added fresh letters. But these
legends are all the fables of the literary age;
feet that the Greek alphabet came
from Phenicia It is fact, in
deed. to which the word alphabet
itself still bears witness. Alphabet
or alphabeta, the two first letters of the al
phabet, are both, as weihavs seen, Ph@n-
cian words. .. .
Like the Pheniciaps before them, the
Greeks repaid the benefit they had receiv-
ed by handing on their alphabet to
nations still futher west. The Greek col
onies in in Sicily and southern Italy, beiny
mostly Of Dorc descent, brought with
them the Doric alphabet ard accordingly
the natives of southern Italy, when they
first began to write, used the Doric alpha.
net of their Greek neig nbors. Hence it
Is that the Lstins and ourselves after them
attach tail to the letter r, which was
wanted in the old alphabet of Phenicia;
hence, too, we have inherited FROM the
Ropans the ! tier Y. which had been lost
in all tne Greek alpnsbets, except that OF
Dor an origin On the other hand, the
Etruscsns. that mysterious people of north
ern Italy, who exercised 80 profound an in
husnce upon the infant civilizations of
Rome, learned the art of molding and de-
corating vases from the pottery of Athens,
and since the latter were in the h bit of
inscribing the names of the gods and be-
roes they depicted above the represen-
tations of them the Etruscans learned at
the same time the old Attic or Ionic
phabets Of Etruris ard Athens side by SIDE
to be convinced of this.fsct. r, for instance,
is represented in both by the taillsss P;
we look in vain in both for 40, and the
distinct symbols that once stood for the
gutturals and are amalgsmated into one.
Alphabets, like words, brightly questioned,
can be made to tell their own history as
we'll as that of the people who employed

OLD WASHINGTON CHARACTERS
Eco sntr;c Men who Annoy the
Members Of Congress.

A character who. up to few months ago
was a daily visitor TO the capitol, was Col.
Maurice Pinchover. This man has
grievance. He seems to be haunted with
the phantom of Col. Tom Scott, the rail-
road king. He declares that Col. Scott
years ago robbed him in a railroad trans
action, stole b is money and reduced him to
penury. He carries with him usually tin
case about two feet long and six inches
in diameter, in which is drawing of some
k nd. One day last summer, when the
House was engaged in an exciting politi-
cal debate, Pinchover came TO the capitol
with a wooden shirt saturated with blood,
and declared it was the shirt worn by him
when he was assaulted by Tom Scott on
the plains of Colorado. Pinchoyer also has
a claim. All that he has ever yet sue
ceeded in explaining is that it is for mil
lion dollars; it is connected with mine of
some kind, which Scott has robbed him
Of. At times he is dangerous. Journal
clerk Smith on one occasion filed the tin
case he carries with mueilage. When PIN
chover discovered it he became ungovern-
able, and would have done Smith bodily
injury had he not fled incontinently out of
range. Another persistent claimant, who
comes to congress every year, is John q.
Mcdonnell. His claim is for SIT 259, and he
has made his appearance in every congress-
for years 1t has for basis the alleged
fact that the claimant rendered service to
the United States in recruiting 900 men in
Maryland for Massachusetts regiment
Last summer Gen. Bragg, chairman of the
war claims com mittee, in reporting adverse
ly upon it, said; This claim has been
rejected at the war department and the
treasuary department when all the parties
who knew Of the transaction were living
and the vouchers now alleged to have been
lost were in existence. 1t has since been
rejected by the committee on war claims.

The ,ysoI Market.

We this week received direct from the
largest wool dealing firm in New York City
their regular monthly report. and as a great
many of our readers are deeply interested in
the matter we publish extracts from it:
Since our last circular the Wool market
has continued very active for all descriptions
Of Wool, particularly for fine and coarse de-
scriptiOns. Medium Wools, on account Of
their scarcity probably. are not reported
largely in the salea. The greater part Of the
business during the past four wccks has been
in fine Woods.
The position Of the goosls market continues
strong. Manufacturers generally have large
orders ahead, and on some descriptions. par
ticularly fannels, . material advance IN price
has been obtained.
When We take into consideration the fact
that this Is usually the season when the
strongest efforts are used BY buyers to de-
press prices and thereby influence tie views
Of farmers at the opening OF the clip, the
iirmness aud activity in the Wool market Is
particularly noticeable It is owing ol
course, to the continued demand from manu-.
facturers, particularly those who-refusing
to believe that the advance in December was
healthy one-are now forced to purchase at
higher HgRres. We anticipate asteady strong
market for the present, with prices fully up
to present quotations.

benefit from the improved demand, have NOT
