There are no important changes to report in the
wholesale market to-day. Flour continues firm and
in good demand at full prices. The strong tone is
caused by reports from the West, showing that the
crop of 1881 was in very bad condition. hardly
any of the goods yet brought into the market being
equal to No 2, and much of the receipts grading
below No g. The advance in Wheat the past week
has been about Ice.

Sense and Sentiment,

Bulwer Lytton: The friendship be-
tween great men is rarely intimate or
permanent It is a Boswell that most
appreciate johnson. Genius has no
brother, no co-mate; the love it inspires
is that Of pupil or a son. q
i Voltaire: IF as much care were taken
to perpetuate race of fine men as Is
done to prevent the mixture of ignoble
blood in horses and dogs, the geneology
ofevery one would be written on his
face and displayed in his manners.
III Giles: When one thoughtfully con-
siders the part which love has in the
destiny and character of women, the is
sues that come out of it for her veal or
misery, her ruin or perfection, nothing
is more pathetic, and death itself is not
more solemn.
Il Robert West: Nothing is easier than
fault-fnding. No talent, no self-denlal,
no, brains, no character, are required to
set up in the. grumbling business. But
those who are moved by a genuine de-
sire. to do good have little time for MUIR
muir or complaint. 4.
y Quarles: Read not books alone, but
men, and among them chiefly myself.
# THOU find anything questionable there,
use y, the ne. commentary Of severe friend
rather than the gloss of sweet-lipped
erer. There is more profit in dis
tasteful truth than deceitful sweetness.

Mohammedan Maidens for Sale.

NAOH8mmeO0n MA10enS TOR S810s
From the British Quarterly Review.
No one of the Mohammedan races has
ARMED ont the license given ia sensual
passion by the Koran and the adhering
tradition to such an extent as have the
Ottoman Turks, and no race has, SUE
feredgso much from that license, The
evil consequences are far-reaching and
baleful IN the extreme. 1t is to feed
Turkish sensuahty that the slave trade
Throughout the empire. and in the in.
terrier, Of Africa is maintained. The
beautiful, fair daughters who, are psr-
chased from the Georgians and Circas-
slams also find their. way at last to the
harems Of Constantinople Brusa,
Smyrna, Adrianople, Aleppo, Bagdad.
and other towns and cities ofTAsia Minor. i
One of the direct results of this sensuality
is that the Turks have degenerated ply
sically during the past 200 years. That
the cOnQuerOrs of constantinOple were q
hardy race Of great physical strength
there can be no doubt that the great
majority Of modern Turks are of an
efeminate type is equally certain; very
many OF them are persons of fine APP
pearance, burt they are physically weak;
without elasticity giving the impression
Of men who have lost their vitality.
The II same may be said
Turkish womeni they ). are small in
Stature, of a siekly complexion, easily
/ ffatigued by slight exertion, and become !.
prematurely old. After, the age Of 40 all
feminine beauty.is gone the eyes have
become sunken, the cheeks hollow and
the face Wrinkled and there remains no
trace Of the activity and physical strength
often seen in the English women Of 65or
