The Sultan and Hobart Pasha.

The promotion of Hobart Pasha is an
illustration of the curious manner in
which rank is obtained and appointment
made in this country. About a week ago
a large iron-clad frigate, called the Os-
manieh, was dispatched from CONSTANT
nople to carry troops from Smyrna to
Volo. She was hurried off, it is said, in
IA very ill-prepared state, and against the
captains protest. At the entrance to the
Dardanelles, however, she took the
ground on the Diana bank, opposite Gal
ipoli, nasty fiat shoal very imperfeotly
marked, which has brought up more
than one British steamer within the last
two years. The stranding of the iron
clad was communicated to the Palace on
Thursday night, the accident having
occurred in the morning, and his
majesty at once sent off special
aid-de-camp to Hobart, with orders
to leave with assistance as soon as
possible and get the vessel ahoat again.
The dispatch vessel, with Hobart OH
board, was Just about to leave when an
other telegram arrived to inform the Sui
tan that the Osmanieh had got Off Ho-
bart, presenting himself at the palace
later in the day, was closely questioned
as to the condition in which the snip had
UceH SeHI W sed, anu tilo general Stdte OF
the navy. The account not being so sat
isfactory as the Padishah could desire,
and Hobart complaining of his want of
influence at the Admiralty, His Majesty
suddenly declared: "You are Mushir,
and 1 hope that the position you will
henceforth fill will enable the navy to
profit by your great experience"
1t was thought at first that the Sultan
would have made Hobart either Minister
of Marine, or placed him by the side CT
Civilian Minister with the rank of Com
mander in Chief; but the influences ad-
verse to foreigners in Turkey proved too
strong in the end, and Hassan Pacha,
the astute President of the Council un-
der Rassim's administration, was ad-
vanced to the head of the navy. The
rank of Mushir is very high in Turkey;
it is the Pachalik of three tails, as it was
called, when those peculiar insignia
were carried before pachas to denote their
respective grades, and has never before
been conferred upon foreigner bat in
one instance. that of Sir William Fen
wick Williams, of Kars. In his case it
was, however, mere honorary distinc-
ton, whilst in Hobart's it is substan-
tive affair. carrying with it a large Access
sion of income in the way of rations. 1t
is generally thought that in the event of
war Hobart will be offered high COM

We see from notices In the Now Or
lsans Daily States, that the Times and
Democrat will consolidate on to-
morrow, Sunday. This consolidation
will form a combination, that will
equal any newspaper in the United
States. The Times and Democrat are
both largely known as the leading
journals of the South, and since they
link together, capital and sentiment
are bound to make a journal second to
none in the United States. We wish
the consolidated enterprise much sue
cess. BY the way, there Is one very
attractive feature in behalf of both
establishments. The proprietors Of
both newspapers knowing that most
of the employees of the Times will DO
thrown out of employment, agree to
pay one weeks wages to all employed,
with 10 work being required.

Since the assassination Of President
Garfield there have been deluge of
cranks In the land. Whenever q man
does something considerably different
from the usual way of doing II, he 10
termed crank, and some OF the legal
profession think he offers an excellent
principal for tho defense In a murder
trial. The stages OF crankidness are
exceedingly numerous. From the
small rooster who thinks II the duty
of great party to seat him In Con-
gross without regard to justice, to
Guiteau, who thinks II was imposed
on him to remove" the President, the
whole ground Is filled with cranks,
male and female. From the lowest
tramp to the Presidency, in every pro-
fession and calling, the cranks are
numerous. A crank killed the Presl-
dent and then cranks try to kill the
crank. A crank tried to get at the
President with an order from God and
a big horse pistol. The poor pittanoe
to pay his fare to Washington was all
that prevented his attempting to carry
out his Divine instruction with his
large horse pistol.
The question arises what Is to be
done with this army Of cranks? This
is q serious question, considering the
number OF these creatures who claim
Divine inspira lion to kill their fellow
citizens. The legal profession tell us
In their speeches defending tramps
and cranks, that IL Is better for ninety
nine guilty men to escape than for one
innocent man to suffer. Even admit
ting this, the class We allude to are
but innocent, On the con-
trary, they are exceedingly harmful.
An innocent person is one who does
not hurt. These fellows can set up no
plea Of innocence, and the only thing
to be considered Is the extent Of their
II Is our opinion that
all who know what they are doing |
when they kill, how TO plan to do IL, |
and how to take the surest means Of
effecting their hellish purposes, ought
to be held to q strict account for their |
deeds. 1.-THE limit 10 widened beyond |
this, there Is no case OF murder In |
which the plea of insanity may not be
set up with q strong hope OF success.
1t Is a wise and safe plan TO hang all
the cranks who knowingly commit |
whether they claim to be
commissioned or not, This
Is certainly the best way to protect in
nocent persons.
The "insanity dodge" as Il Is now
called outside Of the legal profession,
has already been resorted to 70 often
hat 1t has caused great increase Of
rhine. When men of good common
,ense agree that one Is SO bereft Of rea-
'on as to he ignorant Of the effects Of
.aking human life, they might be
justified In not finding guilty. We
rave heard Of mothers. while raving
killing their own children,
md Of other cases where no conscien-
ious jury could convict. But the
,ases where men are ut large capable |
II attending to the daily affairs Of life
md Of mingling with their fellow
men without their dangerous insanity
,eing detected, and then kill some'on
n anger, spite, or for any motive,
ught 10 be dealt with as mu-derers.

Herne's Hearts laf Oak NJ the Opera
House.
On Tuesday night last, this highly
recommended Company visited jack
son and played TO a good audience,
though not near 40 large as they just
ly deserve. There has never been
presented to our theatre-going people,
a drama which has given moro salts
faction than Herne's. The first tab
leau, sunset on the coast Of Marble
head, Mass, the gathering storm
cloud, the signal Of distress, the week,
the rescue, thrilling sensation Of the
rocket and life line, rain burst Of real
water, was the most mag
niffcent We have ever seen pres
ented on our stage. While the stage
did not afford ample room for thor
ough display, 1t was well arranged
and pleasing to the eye. James A.
Herne, representing the character of
Terry Dennison, was at his place and
did honor to his part, as well, as did
all the other members of the Com
pany. Miss Katherine Corcoran, rep
resep ting the main part of the lady
characters, that of Crystal, is an nc
tress of great talent, and played her
part with as much grace and ease as
that Of seraphim. Owen Garroway,
who never spoke without the infalible
]. 0 u, played the part of ruffian to
perfection. Little Maud Thompson,
representing little Crystal, n five
year old girl, was magnet to all tho
auditors, and as soon as she appeared
on the stage, you could hear general
whisper Of, "ain't she sweet, and
doesn't she play her part well |" Lit
tie Crystal played her part with as
much case and composure as any ac-
tress we have ever scotland If she
continues on the stage, gives promise
of being one of the leading actresses
in the United States. AS for the
baby, we can't do that justice, 80 will
leave 1t to those who were there to
expatiate on--the only thing we will
venture to say, is that it was gen.
uine baby, as some of the ladies SEEM
ed to think it was artificial, until the
little fellow sneezed as natural as life.
God bless the sweet little babies.
Taking the Company all in all, they
were SO good that there were no stars
among them but all the very best
actors and actresses. This Company
Is the one that had such a run at
Madison Square. in New York, with
Halle Kirk. We hope Mr.. Herne
will visit our city again before tho
season Ii over, and present to us the
Halle Kirk play.

The Improvement Of tho Pearl.
Raymond Gazette.


We congratulate our readers who
live along Pearl river upon tho i'm
provement Of the navigation OF their
water course, rs appears from late re-
ports Of the United States officials
who have the work In charge.
AS is generally known, the i'm
provemont Of the upper river has
been some time in progress, appro-
priations having been made In its
favor as far back as 1879. The work is
approaching completion, and by the
end of the year the contractor antici-
pates closing the work under the APP
preparation of 1881. Further appro-
priations will probably be award
cd to go on to full completion OF this
section.
On lower Pearl river the report Of
p. III. Kimball, of Mobile, who Is con-
tractor, sets forth that point AZ miles
from Jackson, has been reached.
During the month OF October there
were dredged and taken out 1913 snags,
80 sunken logs, 8 stumps, rock dams,
6 fish traps, or weirs. There were
1914 overhanging trees on the banks
removed, and 12,0i7 yards Of brush
removed. The contract under the 81
appropriation has been given TO G. A.
Meyer, Of New Orleans.
There Is no reason why both the
Pearl and Big Black, which constitute
the eastern aud western boundary
lines Of Kinds county, should not bo
made navlgable, and at the expense
of the Federal government, aud they
will be, II our people will but exhibit
half the industry In calling upon Con-
gress in behalf, that is shown by the
Northern and Western people who
happen TO have similar streams in
their vicinity.

and successful in his efforts to secure

1 Curious Law suit-A Microscopic
Attempt 20 Find Mixed blood.

A curious law suit has Just been de-
cided In the York county Court, South
Carolina. John Crawford, black
man, and Maggie, his alleged wife,
were arrested for violating the law en-
acted In 1879, forbidding the intermar-
rage of blacks and whites. The woman
was small aud fair, with light auburn
hair and light blue eyes. She and her
husband had no counsel, but the man
told straightforward story and claim
ed that his wife was of mixed blood,
hergrandmother being bright m ulat
to. The family associated with colored
people only, and attended the colored
church. A physician was called In to
examine the woman for traces of negro
blood. He made hasty examination,
and said that he was Of opinion she
was not of mixed blood, but asked for
more time. The next day he made an
examination Of the hair and skin Of
the woman with microscope. He said
the examination was not satisfactory
on account Of the imperfect micros-
cope, and because the test could not
well be applied to the cuticle without
detaching It from the flesh. While he
could discover no traces Of negro blood
stir he told the jury that he was not
prepared to say that the woman was
of pure white blood. The Judge
charged the jury that all doubt in their
minds as to the pure white blood Of
the defendant must 60 in her favor.
In an hour they brought in a verdict
of guilty. Here is q most interesting
case for scientists. IL this woman has
negro blood, can the fact be positively
by microscopic tests or IL
there vanishing point where the
negro blood Is lott entirely, as the re-
result of generations Of admixture
In this case the blue eyes and light
hair Of Maggie Crawford probably
the Doctors doubts in the
minds Of the South Carolina jury.
