The Osceola times., 1881-04-16
The Condition OF Crete.
Pail Mall Gazette.


A correspondent writes ~ us from
Canea in the Island of Crete. "Crete is
quite capable of becoming an Ireland to
the Hellenic kingdom. Annexation
would, of course, be very popular, but
the spirit of provincial independence is
singularly strong and jealous. The old
hope of annexation by England as in
termediary is not yet. dead, but there is
much suspicion of a permanent English
occupation for the sake of SCUBA Bay.
The argument is mathematical. Let a
straight line be described from Gibraltar
to Cyprus, and the finest harbor OF the
Mediterranean will fall within few
miles of that straig ght line. The finest har-
Dor would certainly be ill-bought at the
price Of the finest inserructions. A ques-
ton has arisen about the representation
of foreign powers by Consul or drago-
man at the trial of cases involving their
subjects, in accordance with treaties and
capitulations applying to all the Turkish
dominions, and beginning with the time
of Francis /. This representation, as lust
and necessary in Crete as elsewhere, is
contrary, in the view of the Creten ben h
and press, TO the automatic law framed at
liit VI tii'
village here, in 1879, whereby the con-
stitution granted after the great insur-
rection of 1865 was extended and made
eflicient-that is to say, grant of pro-
vincial priiveges b. the sultan can defeat
his international obligations. This won
derful doctrine is rested unanimously
by the resident Consuls with the signif-
icant exception of the Russian. Similarly
as to excavations, the imperial and gen.
eral decree of a few years ago required
the excavators in Turkey to take out a
special frman, and granted him third
part of smaller treasure-trove, the other
thirds going to the province and the
Sultan. The correspondent of the Times
who is desirious ofexcavating here, finds
that law is meditated in the annual
Parliament of May practically transfer
ring the conditions of excavations from
the sovereign to itself Perhaps he may
be permitted to excavate for future Cretan
museums. Meanwhile, if he digs with
only imperial permission, it will be in
the sweat Of his brow. Every one thinks
an inserruction will break out in case of
war between Greece and Turkey. 1t will
be guerrilla warfare between the garris-
oned towns and the country-sharks
against tigers"
The Osceola times., 1881-04-16
Changing Names.

New York Letter to Cincinnati Gazette
Another aspect of fashion is shown in
the changes of name. Some persons Of
the extensive family of Smith have i'm
proved the above mentioned fashion 80
as to modify their unacceptable titles.
A Mr.. John Howard Smith now writes
his name j. Howardsmlth, which his
family considers an improvement. In
the same manner Roswell Smith becomes
Roswelsmth. Another instance is found
in the family of the famous surgeon, DR..
James Marion Sims. He wrote his name
j. Marion Sims, but his children have
altered it into Marionsims, thus com
pounding two names into one. Other
transformations, however, of a similar
character have formerly occurred in So
ciety. The German baker Huhn had a
family of sons who became fashionable.
and, therefore, called themselves Hone,
a name which once held distinction in
social life.
The jew Jacobs has under similar
pressure been turned into Jacot, which
has a French sound. August Belmont
was Shonberg when he came TO this
country, but he Immediately adopted
the much prettier name by which he has
since been known. Frank Leslie was
Henry Carter in London, but the change
in his case was in order to assist in se-
crecy. The late Henry Wilson was the
only one of our Vice-Presidents that
changed his name, and as the latter was
Joshua Goliath ! am not surprised that
he disiked it. Another still more strik-
ing instance Of an alteration occasioned
by antipathy is found in the history Of
Robert Treat Paine, Jr. His father was
one of the signers of the Declarations Of
Independence. He was also an admirer
of the author Of the Crisis" whose / anne
he gave to babe born during those
troublesome times. When the latter
reached manhood the age Of Reason
was published and its author fell into
disgrace. This led Thomas Paine. Jr.. to
adopt the name of his father, an act be-
ing passed for the purpose by the Legis-
lature.

neither of the vessels stopped one mo-
ment until it cast anchor III its destined
port. Many readers remember Mr..
Fields electric announcemet that the
cable was laid and working successfully.
II continued TO answer its purpose in
some degree for % days, during which
about 400 messages were sent through II.
But something was the matter with it
from the first. There was an escape
somewhere, and finally it ceased to work
altogether. The reason was afterward
found TO be that the cable, with its gutta
percha and tar covering, had been care
lessly exposed to the sun in London,
and the wire thus in several places was
exposed to the action of the sea.
The perseverance of the protector was
now put TO the severest test. 1t is of lit
tie use explaining to the public why an
enterprise fails. The public is a busy
creature, and has relish for explanations
of failure. For sometime after this costly
expedition, Cyrus w. Field was perhaps
the only human being in the world who
retained his faith undiminished in the
final success of the Atlantic cable. Fifty
times he crossed the ocean on behalf of
lilc pllSt. iIt NlNI wal
vened. Seven years passed before the
attempt was renewed, and 1t was then
renewed through his exertions. In 1865
the Great Eastern, with cable on board,
started on its way across the ocean, and
paid out 200 miles, when sudden
lurch of the huge vessel snapped it, and
it was lost. The ship returned to
England. The next year 1866 tho
same vessel renewed the attempt; when
it not only laid a cable from shore to
shore, but tished up the lost one from a
depth of two miles, and splicing it to one
on board brought it safely in.
A few months since, at the house of
the protector, the Silver Wedding of the
two continents was celebrated by a
superb festival, attended by more than a
thousand persons Mr.. Field related the
origin of the scheme in the very room
where the conpany was formed. That
company consisted at first of five persons:
Cyrus W. Field, Peter Cooper, Moses
Taylor, Marshall o. Roberts and Chandler
White; all but two of whom are now
living, and all but one were present on
this interesting occasion.
An Atlantic cable is not bad thing
to have in a family. Fifteen words a
minute can be sent through it, which is
more than 10000 words in a hours. At
s. word, which was the price for a long
time, the revenue arising from a cable
could be something over S6,000,000 per
annum. Nay; while Mr.. Field was re.
ceiving his friends that evening, there
was delivered to him the following cable
message:
"This anniversary witnesses duplex
working across the Atlantic as an accom-.
plished fact"

Old Age.
Youths Companion.


The brain in old persons, after the age
of 20. diminishes both in bulk and dem
sity, and thus becomes lighter. Its ca
pacity for continuous hard work is there
by lessened as really as is that of the
body for muscular labor.
As an old man. however has the ac-
cumulated knowledge, skill and practical
experience of almost lifetime, and that
wonderful facility which comes of habit,
he may, with good health and care, do
much of his best work in the neighbor.
hood, say, of so.
He cannot bear mental strain, and he
must not attempt mental "spurts," but
he can still show himself workman
that needeth not be ashamed"
Since, however, the brain is not then
so firmly supported by the skull, and is
slighter in texture, the blood vessels are
more easily dilated or ruptured. The
danger of paralysis and apoplexy is still
further increased, because the blood
vessels become in old age more or less
ossified and brittle, and thus less able TO
sustain sudden rush of blood.
The aged should carefully abstain from
every form Of violent action, and, indeed,
from every violent emotion. The full
term of toll, whether in rearing and sup
porting children or in the service of the
public, earns q right to what is the nor
NAL physiological condition Of age-free-
dom from all that annoys, perplexes,
harnesses, excites and burdens.

Corn does not succeed well after buck
wheat.
THE simplest method to remove the
hull from corn is TO make weak lye
from clean wood ashes and soak the corn
in it.
PooR cows are dear at any price, really
good ones, if young, are never sold too
high. A COW should give ut least $50
worth of milk year.
II is well for farmers to bear in mind
that the average for all breeds of COWS is
about six pounds of hay, or its cqulva-
lent, for one quart Of milk.
A COW with three rings on horn is
six years old; with four she is seven
years old. No new rings are found after
the tenth year. The deeper rings, how
ever, and the worn appearance of the
horns are pretty sure indi cations Of old
age.
