The charming Mrs. Langtry's expI

The charming Mrs. Langtry's exploits
as the reigning beauty of London socie-
ty seem to have been too much for the
length of MIR. Langtry's purse. The
London correspondent of the Toronto
Globe says;
"They are all laughing, but really it is
very wrong. Poor Mrs. Langtry, for
merly the Lily of Jersey, fashionable
beauty, etc., has come to the end of her
tether. My acquaintance, Mr.. Millar

hammer to day at No. II Norfolk street,
Park Lane, the most Charming biiou
town residence of Captain and Mrs
Langtry. The catalogue includes all the
trophies of Eastern sport, the gift of a
friend of the lady's, together with the
costly and elegant contents of the resi-
dence, C~hippendale and Elizabethan art
furniture, plate, china and bric a brac.

the State of Mississippi is in the thrOes

Editor Morning News: I read with
some interest your article published
about two weeks ago on silk culture in
Georgia, as well as that in the News of
yesterday. :
Your readers who have had no expe-
rience in raising silk worms and cocoons
might conclude, from reading the artl-
cles. that it is necessary first to get the
cuttings of the morus multicaulis from
nurserymen, and go through the trouble.
expense and delay of raising an orchard
or grove of mulberry trees before
they a begin to raise the silk.
On the contrary. the worms feed and do
well on the leaves of the common wild
or native mulberry. and there are
enough native mulberries growing about
the farms, fence rows and branch sides
to feed all the worms that anyone will
care to begin with.
So that any of your readers who wish
to give that industry a trial need only
to order the eggs from the parties you
mention or any where else they are to be
had. Set them to hatch and go to feed
ing the common wild mulberry leaves to
them. They are to be fed about thirty
days when they are grown and web up
in the cocoon. Then they are sti1ed
or scslded and are ready for market.
There is said to be a regular market for
the cocoons at the silk manufactures in
New Jersey and OF Their places.
At the price you mention, a dollar
and q half to two dollars a pound, ii
looks like the business of raising the
cocoons would be renunerative, especi-
ally in a mild climate like ours, which
favors the growth of the mulberry as
well as of the silk worm. 1t supplies a
source of income in the summer, when
we are most in need of money. There
IS no expensive outlay or investment to
risk in giving it a trial. The eggs are
deposited by the moth by the million on
paper, and may be sent anywhere by
mail.
If it is intendedto go into the business
extensively and permanently, it would
be well to get the cuttings or sprouts of
the multicaulis or silk mulberry and
start an orchard. There are trees grow
ing in most neighborhoods in the eastern
half of this State from which cuttings
may be had. This species of mulberry
grows from the cuttings (some of our
natives do not. 1t may not be too late
in the season now to plant them. One
great excellence in this mulberry is that
it limbs low and produces very large
leaves. Any old house or clubhouse IN
u climate will answer for the worms.
They can be fed on the floors, or on Ia.
bles or shelves. do you know where
the eggs can be bought?
Respectfully,
"POoR RICHARD"

The Turkish GOvernment-Fears of

Inc GOVernmenS-Ee ears OF
an Instruction.
The Turkish Government fears, it is
said, an outbreak of hostilities with
Greece not so much on account of the
proves of Greek arms as of the extreme
probability of a simultaneous and sym
pathetic insurrection among the Armeni-
ans, who are purer in blood and stronger
in the retention of early national charac-
t~eristics than any other of the subju.
gated races in the Ottoman Empire.
Modern Armenians exhibit nearly all the
physical and mental traits that under the
lead of the great Kings of Pontus sue
cessfully a~ntagonized the legions of
Rome, and were that ancient spirit
once reused from its present lethargY
Moslem domination in Asia Minor
would probably be of short dura-
ton. How much the Porte fears
such an event has recently been striking
ly revealed. An enterprising Armenian
publisher brought out a series of por-
traits of ancient kings of his native land,
copied from old coins and medals. Forth
with he was arrested by the Turkish
censor, his stock confscated, and himself
cast into jail. under a regime which rec
ogniZed no writ of habeas corpus. About
tie same time an Armenian almanac, con-
tanning a geographical and historical ac-
count of the ancient kingdom. was sup
pressed. Nor did this persecution cease
until it had spoliated the houses of some
vendors of cigarette papers, who had
decorated their rooms with portraits
of Armenian kings. No such animosity
is shown towards portraits of ancient
Greeks, for the reason, probably, that
their descendants of to-day resemble
them only in name. In this respect,
even, the mighty are sadly fallen. A
correspondent writes that he has two
friends, Menelaus and Ulysses, in the
corr trade; one named Epaminondas,
who is a money changer, and has a Peri
cies for his clerk; and another, Leoni.

This is the way a scOfing paper of
New York called TIE Hour treats a mat
ter that is considered of grave con-
sequence by a number of people in
Washington: eft is said thsA the ladies
of the families of the present Cabinet
officers are bent upon making society in
Washington very select during Garfeld's
term, and to that end will be sparing of
their return visits to the callers whose
cards they receive on reception days and
at other times. This is a sensible de-
termination. Washington is full of per-
sons, male and female, whose acquaint-
ance is not desirable. Then the ladies
of the present administration, by keep
ing themselves retired, can the more
heartily enjoy their pork and beans,
pumpkin pies, chewing gum and other
Eastern and Western luxuries."

MAD Docs IN NEW YoRK.-A mad
dog ran through West Thirty-eighth
street, New York, on Saturday, swapping
at passers-by. Policeman Doyle shot
the dog in front of No. 356. Later in
the day a hungry looking dog appeared
in West Broadway and was suspected of
being mad. 1t was killed. During the
afternoon an apparently rabid dog was
seen in front of Mrs. Stewards house at
Thirty-fourth street and Fifth avenue.
1t ran into the avenue, where it caused
some excitement by swapping viciously
at people. Policeman Fink was inform
ed of the matter and In front of No. 298
Fifth avenue he killed 1t. This dog Is
said to have bitten several persons,

In an admirable article, showing that
all the "Bourbonism" is not on the
Democratic side, the Boston Herald
utters this mighty truth: 1--WE have not
observed in the speech of any Demo
cratic Senator from the South, foolish as
some of them have been, any disposition
to tarry on the battlefield of dead issues,
nor to interpose obstacles to the final
reconciliation. 1t is members of the
Presidents party who seek to stir up the
old strifes. 1t is they who refuse the
employment of their best powers in the
enterprises of high moment, which the
President well says beckon US forward.
1t is they who have made the reorgani-
cation of the Senate a greedy clutch for
power, and, turning their backs upon all
their pledges of reform, have converted
the Inauguration of a new administra
ton into a grand inquisition for the
spoils. We think it will turn out that
they have played this game once too
often"

A Dubious Russian Reform.

The first measure of reform instituted
in Russia is the organization of a city
council. 1t does not promise much.
The council is but a temporary one, and
the duty imposed upon the representa-
tives is simply to assist General BaranOff
in instituting further measures of re-
preston against the Nihilists. he pro-
poses what the measures shall be and the
council adopts them, thus giving their
countenance to acts that formerly origi-
mated with the government officials.
Several measures were adopted and ap-
proved at the first sitting. One of these
was to empower the police to examine
passengers at the railway stations. An
otter was to forbid cabmen from
driving a fare to any other place
than the address first given. Other meas
ures reported by General Baranof to
the council include the erection of bar
riers on all roads leading to the city, the
keeping a record of all strangers visiting
St. Petersburg, and that the members of
the council patrol the streets through
which the Car may be expectedto pass.
All these are evidently restrictions put
upon the liberty of the citizen. Whether
more liberal legislation is to follow win
be known hereafter. at present it seems
as if the whole people of st. Petersburg,
as represented by the council, were to be
made responsible for the preservation of
peace and good order, and that they are
to be simply called upon to indorse what
ever the project may propose.

The victim in this case wa an old man,
living in the country about sixty miles
from Pittsburg. After robbing him, one
of the gang became enraged at something
he said, and deliberately shot him. Bur
glary and murder seem to be so closely
allied that they ought to be treated as
one oftense and so punished.

of the late Bishop Elliott, of Georgia,
who says it is a preventive of scarlet

if taken: One ounce of sulphite of
sodium in three pints of water. A tea

and a tablespoonful for adults.

President Garfield Is not exerting any par
ticular influence towards strengthening him
self in the fight with Conkling over Robertsou's
nomination. He seems TO be of the opinion
that there is no need for work, as COnkling Is
beaten from the start. He is more than likely
correct. There seems to be no doubt
now but that Robertson will be confirm
ed, Conkling, however. is still very
active. He is scheming and using
all methods. There are reports of combina-
tions by which he is to certainly win. These
reports are numerous, and give the details by
which Conkling is going to whip the admins

ling %coterie. and investigation of them shows
that they have not any substantial basis
The only truth in them seems to be
combination to win. He said. though, the

A CABINET OFFICER LOBBYING.
Since John Sherman appeared in the lobby
in the Hayes-Conkling fight over New York
nominations hostile to the former. we have
not until now been treated to the sight of Cabi-
net officers in that role. Wayne AacVeagh is
the Cabinet officer who is now in the lobby.
He is endeayoriHg to have Williamee Chand-
ler's nomination as Solicitor General rejected.
An accomplished lobbyist, too, is Mr. Mac
NoaSH. rs KNOWS HOW w approach ano now
to talk with the mar he is endeavoring
70 convince. He is open about it.
Williamee knitted, and gives reasons why he
should be. Chandler is around for himself.
He is trying to get Democratic Senators to
vote for him. He is adroit and plausible. He
tells Democrats that he has SAID much more
against the Democratic party and against
prominent members Of it than he ever meant.
He does not make much Roadway. The Demo-
Gratis do not surrender to his Establishments.
And there are enough Republicans who do not
like him to secure his rejection. Wayne Mac
Veagh will succeed in beating Williamee.
Williamee is already practically dead, in so far
as the Solicitor Generalship is concerned
HE DID NOT GET ANYTHING.
Mr.. A. N. Wilson. Of Savannah, has been here
for some time trying to get something from the
administration. He would have taken a clerk
ship in any of the departments could he have
got it. He had good recommendations, but did
not get along very well. He has become salts
fed that he has no chance. Under this con-
viction he has gone home. He was sensible. A

would save money by coming to the same con-
clusion as Mr.. Wilson, and also go home. But
