One Of the hopeful signs in regard to
the regeneration of Turkey is the fact
that during the past few years there has
slowly come into existence that nrdefined
but very positive Fowar known as public
opinion. True this power in this country
is feeble as compared with tho same power
in France or England it is true also that
it is treated with contempt by great uum[
bers OF Turkish officials. yet it exists, and
is increasing rapidly from day to day.
Pubic opinion 10 Turkey lacks the broad
basis of intelligence which is given to 1t
in a free county by an independent and
unfettered Press !; it also hicks steadlness,
partly from the want of proper Intelligence
and partly from the inherent tendency of
Oriental minds to indulge in dreams of
the Imagination. Still, there are many
evidences that men of all classes are begin
ming to realize the presence and impor"
lance of this singular power. Before the
Crimean War it may fairly be aaid thst
there was no such thing in this country
as public sentiment. Bad men might do
as they pleased if they escaped the reprl'
mand of the Government they were not
called upon to face the more severe ordeal
of public opinion. Such is NOT the case at
present; &C least there has been gree
change in this respect, and the change IS
altogether in the right direction. II the
progress has not been as great as could
be desired, it is something that there has
been progress, while it is almost certain
that this progress will be much accelerated
in the future. For some weeks | Rave

However it may be accounted for, there
Can be no doubt that there is q Widespread
impression among the Turks that the end
OF their political supremacy in these lands
is approaching, and it is equally true that
they generally assign a prevailing apostasy
from the religion Of Mahomet us the cause
of impending calamities. "Islsmlsn has

Times writes as follows: 'The tenn
porary success of Mahomed Jan over
General Massey, coupled with the eva
cuation Of the position won at such
cost on the 18th, evidently has given
the rising IN impetus It will need all
our strength to overcome. Shirpur
environments, which Elie two miles
North of Cabul, are intrenched and
contain several months supplies. The
troops are in good health, and though
it is humiliating to feel that at this
moment the Afghans have the
upper hand, that our army Of oc-
cupation is besieged, that Cabul
passed from our hands and its
Governorship has been transferred to
Mahomed Jan, yet there is no cause
for alarm. There is many a man in
side that entrenchment who has faced
heavier odds than those presented
against him, and though it may be
unpleasant to learn hat the Afghans
hate us now with the undying hatred
they exhibited in 1913, there is no
reason to feel any apprehension of a
repetition of the disgrace which over
took us then"

courage, perseverance, and high ambition.
His father, poor farmer, possessed of
few sterile acres and large family, died
when he was six years old. He had no we'll

he had no help save the counsels Of a wise,
resolute, religious mother, and no capital
save what lay in his own head and hands,

path OF canal, ne gained the means to OBJ
tam such education as a rural academy af-
iorded. Then, making a capital Of his store
oil knowledge, he taught country schools.
and got the means to take a higher course
of study. Equipped with the training Of
Massachusetts college, he opened for him
self path IN life which began with the Lat
IN and Greek protessorship of an obscure
school in Ohio, and broadened out until it
led to major -generalshIp in the Union ar
my, TO a seat IN Congress held for nine con-
secutIve terms, 10 an election TO the senate
by the unanimous choice OF his party in the
OHIO legislature, and now to the republican
nomination for the presidency All these
honors came to him without solicitation, and
without effort On his part to grasp them So
far as fate shaped his career in life, it was
the career of day laborer High purposes,
an indomitable will, a great capacity for
work, fixed principles, and good habits ena-

career to one of conspicuous honor and use

II shows that the country is not wholly given
over To the rule Of political rings, bosses,
and consprators, and that one party at least
is still strong enough and wise enough To
''pluck from the nettle danger the flower

whose worthiness and fitness are his only

the changes in our social fabric, brought

window with cigar in his mouth.

4 Young lady moving in the most exalted
social circles Of Galveston, after much toll
and practice at the piano learned To play with
eonsiGeral dextcrity piece entitled Picnic
Polka" II is something after the style of
the celebrated Battle Of Prague" in which
the listener can readily distinguish the roar
OF artillery, the rattle Of musketr,. the shouts
Of the soldiers and the groans Of the dying.
In the Picnic Polka" the noise of the wind
among the trees and the JOYOUS carols of the
birds are reproduced, the finale being thun-
der shower which disturbs the sylvan revell-
ers. 1t happens that a country cousin Is III
town just now, and the Young lady thought
she would play the piece to him and hear
his comment. He j. plain, simple minded
youth. and although he Is not verv bright, is
very appreciatiye. She told him what the
piece was and then proceeded TO give him
the Picnic Polka" The first notes are
rather slow and hesitating, the idea sought
to- be conveyed being the solemn solitude of
the forest, through which the gentle zephyr
(not heiferl .ighs. After she got through
with this preface, she asked him il he did
not almost imagine himself in lodge in
some vast wilderness. tie replied that he
thought all that slowness meant the delay in
getting of SAID he, There * always some
darned fellow that oversleeps himself and
keeps everybody el~e waiting"
She did not care to discuss the point with
the ignorant fellow, so, to conceal her emo
tions, she once more let herself out on the
piano. The bird whistled a. il his throat
would split, the cuckoo filed the sylvan bow
ers with his repeated cry, while ever and
anon the mournful cooing of the dove
interrupted the matin song of the lark.
There, now, guess you know what that
sounds like" she said as she paused.
"You mean that 'tootle, tootle, too,le,
chug, chug, chug" You just bet | under
stand that. Many is the time at picnic
I've heard it from the mouth of a demjohn
or the bunghole of a beer keg."
Her first impulse was to hurl the piano
stool a, him. but it passed off, and once
more she went at the piano as if il was the
Young mans head and was insured for double
its value. The thunder growled. the light
ming flashed, from her eyes), and the first
heavy drops are heard upon the leaves. She
banged and mauled the keys at fearful rate !
peal after peal Of deafening thunder perturbed
the atmosphere and re-echoed in still louder
reverberations until it wound up in one
appalling clap as grand finale, Then turn
ing to the awe struck youth, she said;
Il suppose you have heard something like
that before?"
''Yes, that's what the fellow with the linen |
pants said when be sat down on the custard |
pie"
The audience found himself alone, but he |
picked up his hat and sauntered out into the |
street, densely unconscious that he had said |
anything Out of the way.-Galveston Ners.

They were at the breakfast table, with
the worsted notices of God bless our home"
and Peace be on all this house. beaming
down upon them, while he was drinking a
large quantity of cold water. He didn't ap-
pear to care much about talking, and she
had an unusual amount Of table gossip on
her mind. Then the milk bill was brought
in. and matters began to be lively. He said
good many hard words, and vowed that
two quarts Of milk day was a wilful ex-
travagance. The beefsteak was pushed
across the table with force that must have
made its tenderloins ache, and the coffee un-
settled entirely, by over-vigorous stirring.
In fact, he tore round at such a rate that the
notices seemed rather out Of place, and she
bowed her head meekly to the storm, heap
ing Goals OF fire on his head by her silence,
till she got at his overcoat pocket, and calm
ly distracted an unpaid bill for six bottles of
rock and rye and two boxes of cigars. There
was a silence in that room which was almost
painful, and then he paid the milk bill.
