Getting EVEN with Grand Yi1isr.

Mr.. Alison was one of the most re-
markable men on Lord Stratford's staff.
He afterward became our Envoy in Per-
sia, and died at Teheren. He, was O
great favorite with the Turks, whose
language he knew perfectly, as Well as
-Arabie and Greek Reshid Pasha, when
he was Grand Ylzier, madequite spoil
ed child. of him, treated him with de-
gree of deference which. he did notshow
to the Embassadors of other courts, and
allowing him TO cut Jokes on the most
.serious subjects without resenting their
occasional impropriety, 80
Reschid Pasha was succeeded by fs-
natical old Turk named Raouf Pashs.
Mr.. Alison, having totransact some OFF,
cial business with the Porte, was re-
eceived very differently from what he
had heen accustomed TO. So marked
were the respect and cordiality enter
tained for him by the former Grand vi
zier, that he would meet him ut the top
of the. principal, staircase, take him by
the hand, and conduct him through the
crowds in the ante-chamber to his own
room. On this occasion there was moth
ing of the kind. Aservant led him to
the presence of the great man, to whom
he was announced simply as q secretary
of the English Embassy. Raouf Pasha
took no notice. Mr.. Alison put his hands
in his pockets and began whistling a
tune; while he looked at the pictures on
the walls. The servant ran up to him,
saying that the Pashsy on the sofa was
the Grand vizier.
Impossible" exclaimed Mr.. Alison
in Turkish. "That must be some fun
key. The Grand Vizier would receive
me like a gentleman"
Raouf Pasha stood up in apparent
astonishment. Mr.. Alison took q seat,
and in his most patronizing manner In
vited the great man to sit down. He
then explained the case he had to lay
before the Porte. After a long discus
SION of It, the Grand Vizier said that 1t
was the hour of his prayer, and knelt
down at the end of the sofa, as the
Turks delight to do in the presence of
foreigners. The Mussulman prayer
winds up with a damnatory clause
agSnst all infidels, and Raouf Pasha
rolled it out in stentorian voice,
as If leveled at his visitor, who knew
enough Arabic 20 understand that de-
iberate insult was Intended by the en-
phasis laid on the words. The Grand
Vizier then returned to his seat and re-
sumed the official interview. When the
affair under consideration was settled,
Mr.. Alison, in his turn, looked at his
watch, remarked that 1t was his prayer
time, and went TO the other end of the
sofa, where he-went through a variety
of gestures anh .geuuaexions, ending
with q vociferous anathen1a against all
Turks, Mussulmans and other unbeliev-
ers in the Holy Christian faith, declaim-
ed in pure Arabic, as understood by all
pious Mohammedans. He then walked
out of the room without taking the least
notice of the astounded Grand Vizier.-

A Brave woman's Ghost Story.


hi Between thirty and forty years ago an
enterprising hunter in the State Of
Maine, attracted by the abundance of
game in North Oxford County, moved
TO that region with his guns and traps,
tablished himself in an old farmhouse
twenty miles from any living neighbor,
on the shore of Lake Mollychunka-
munk, now known as /" Richardson's
Lake. The house was near an ancient
Indian camping ground, and seems to
have been haunted" The hunter's
wife tells her own story Gin the Lewis
ton Jo,srnaD of what she discovered
One night Just about time for candle
lighting lthis was before the days OF
kerosene, and we used wild animal fat
for burning pnrposes,) rs L sat rocking
my infant, and my little boy was doing
toward Sleep as everything was stin
and lonesome, heard fearful groan
which sounded In the next room. The
rooms were large and empty, as we had
very little furniture, excepting in the
middle room. In that there was q long
box, very heavy, and we could imagine
we smelled some very disagreeable odor
from the box, but my husband never
would open that box and never did. We
had lately moved into this house and
had not been all over it, for it was large
/ on the ground, with many rooms and
several unfinished chambers. The sound
seemed to come from the room contain
ing the box. Well, I reasoned with my
self thus: H this house Is haunted by
.disembo died spirits, am In their unre-
served power. Although i confess TO
q sickening feeling about the heart,
yet IIiweng knew I could not expect
any help from human beings and /
would be Just as safe in one room as an
other, and SO trusting in God opened
.tha- -box.-room -door--As I opened it a
cold breeze struck my face, and at the
same time another horried groan-it
sounded fearfully like a person in great
agony, and this time further back in the
next room. T. dragged my faltering
body into another room, thinking that It
would be better to find out the worst;
as should have to stay in the house
alone over night and even q number of
nights before my husband would return
from the woods After looking over
this empty room, and not finding any
thing unusual, and Just as / was opening
the door, the awful groan was repeated,
and this time 1t sounded in the room
had left my children in. A cold chill
ran over me, yet mustered courage
and returned to my children, and soon
after the shocking groan came again,
and this time In the entry way that led
upstairs into a large and uuoccupied
chamber. My heart almost faited when
1 took hold OF the latch of the chamber
door, but after waiting q moment to re-
cruit my courage, opened the door and
started up stairs. On reaching the top
another frightful groan greeted my ears,
which nearly took me OFF nv feet, which
sounded nearer and louder than any pre-
come out Of the window near my left as
reached the floor. / again hesitated,
but after q little, I opened the window,
and then came another groan directly
over my head, and ascertained it came
from the rusty weather-cock. lssa-ol

Deaths from Lightning.

Reports of death by lightning during
the recent heavy storms are rapidly
coming in, and It will be interesting to
our readers to know that, after all, there
is not much in the old saying, when a
man is unlikely to- have a particular
thing happen to him, that his chances
of meeting it are about as good as his
chance of being struck by lightning.
According to the last published census
of the United States (that of IS7O) light
ming alone disposed Of more of our fel-
low-citizens in that year than came to
their death through yellow fever, gout,
scurvy, hydrophobia, chorea, cancer
of the mouth, calculus, Addison's dis
ease, carbuncle, lead-poisoning or sui
eide by cutting the throat or by drown
ing; nearly as many as were killed by
explosions, and about one-fourth as
many as died of the so-called American
disease, dyspepsia. The. statistics are
as follows: Deaths by lightning, 2O2; /;
by yellow fever, III; by gout, As; by
scurvy, So; by hydrophobia, 6S; by
chores, 76; by cancer of the mouth.

the number of deaths by lightning

person out of 246, ,722 comes to his death

Health and Happiness.

It seems strange that anyone will suf-
fer many arrangements brought on by
an impure condition of the blood, when
Scoville's Blood and Liver syrup will
restore perfect health 70 the physical
organization. It is indeed q strengthen
Ing syrup, pleasant 10 IaKe, and has
proven itself to he the best blood puri-
fer ever discovered, effectually curing
Scrofula, Syphilitic disorders, Weakness
of the Kidneys, all nervous disorders
and Debility. 1t corrects indigestion.
1t makes the old feel young, and the
young feel gay; and will invariably
drive out of the system the many ills
that human flesh is heir to. A single
bottle will prove to you its merits as a
health renewer, for it acts like charm,

exhaustive nature, having a tendency

A locomotives Race with a Reptile.

As the Shenandoah Valley fast express
entered the mile cut Immediately north
of our town on Tuesday last the engineer
was horror-stricken to see what he sup
posed to be the end of the rail Just ahead
of his rushing looopotiye sliding rapidly
away from him. His first thought was
q broken rail calghtSby the pilot, and he
expected an instantaneous shock Won
derment usurped the place of fear when
q second glance revealed five-foot
blacksnake of the species known as
''runner," gliding rapidly away from
him on top of the rail. In the excite
ment of the moment his hand sought the
throttle, he threw it wide open and the
train bounded forward under the im-
pulse, but the snake maintained its lead
although The train wasfunning 40 fully
fifty miles per hour, and when the end
of the cut was reached, and opportunity
was afforded to escape, it left the rail,
ran out into an open space, coiled itself
up, threw its head into an attitude of
defiance and died right there. An ex-
animation proved that the intense heat
of the rail had burned it to death

The tricuds Of Mackey say that he is

that lie was elected and O'Connor
was not, aud his evidence is all in.
The theory is that if Mackey holds
aIoof from the special election: and his
friends do the same thing, the ballot
cast for the Democratic candidate
will necessarily be light, which will
Indicate what O'Connor was really en-
titled to. The fact that another can

Popularity.

The position of a public man is
not altogether an enviable one. He
is the subject of all manner of criti
cism, and no matter what course he
pursues in any matter Of public in
terest he is sure to displease some
upon whom he depends for popular
favor and preferment. A public
man, therefore, whose chief aim is
popularity is kept constantly in
that state of mind which is express
lively described as being in 'hot
water. But one who is chiefly
concerned about doing his duty,
and who is conscious Of the rectl-
tude Of his own course, can afford
to view the temporary ebullitions OF
popular disfavor with equanimity
and comparative peace of mind.
Such man does not hesitate as to
what line OF action he shall pursue
after being fully convinced in his
own mind OF the right one. He is
not to be diverted from his course,
but steers straight forward, not
stopping to trim his sails to catch
the popular breezes, which often
times blow from every point Of the
compass. II he waits till the breezes
are all propitious he will make vely
little headway. Steam has sup.
planted wind as the moving power
OF large vessels. A public man
should, like a steamer, carry within
his own mind and conscience his
own motive power, rather than de-
pend for it upon the shifting and
uncertain breezes of popular favor
Were such the rule demagogues
would be left behind, and our pub
lie men would be men of merit
able, honest and independent.
We do not say that q public man
should be regardless Of popular ap
| proval. On the contrary be should
recognize and respect the opinions
and the wishes of bis constituents
What we do say is, that he should
not make popular ty the standard
OF his craftsmanship, nor the guide
to his action. That was a noble
sentiment of Henry Clay: Il woulc
rather be right than be President.
