But the facts are that the Sultan re-
solved to order Hussein to come to
Constantinople, but fearing lest this de-
mand should be openly defied his Ma
jesty induced Hussein to come to Yed-
dab. A near relative of Abdul Mutta-
lib at the same time left Constanttnople
for Yeddah. Upon the simultaneous
arrival in Yeddah of Abdul Muttalib's
relative and the Grand Schereef Hus-
sein, the latter was assassinated by a
Persian dervish, or holy man of the
Shah sect of Mohammedans,
who, wi h clasped pocket-knife, ripped
open the abdomen of His Holiness. A
large amount of money was found in
possession of the assassin, who was ex-
ecuted without any attempt being made
to discover his accomplices or instiga-
tors. The office of Grand Scnereef CT
Mecca is in certain sense hereditary
that is, it remains always in one
family, which claims direct descent
from the Prophet; but the Sultan has
the right to appoint any member of the
family he chooses. AS soon as the

impossible to speculate upon the sue
cess of any of these desperate ven
lures but in view of the present dis
eased state in Europe, and the dread
of England and France, of being con-
fronted by the uncontrolled impulses
of Mohammedan fanatacism, it would
seem the collapse of the Ottoman En-
pire will be brought about by some
such intestinal strife as is foreshadowed
by this letter, rather than by an aggres-
sive action of the Europeon Powers.

and made their residence. No, indeed. In
stead of this we are living under puritani-
cal, fanatical oligarchy, who enact tyrannical
laws for their own qualification. His posi-
ton, think, is preposterous and absurd
think if he reads my article carefully he
will discern that the energy for which he
gives me credit is the result by firm conyio-
ton of the Justice and propriety of the law
which he ridicules and on which he wastes
so much invective. Which, I ask, is the
most consistent with true democracy-that
the churches and all places of instruction or
intellectual and moral elevation shall be free
to all, rich and poor, or that they shall be al
lowed By laso to charge admission fees, the
same as theatres and other places of ques-
tlonable resort. [ do not say that churches
would do this. What do say is. that the
law or repeal of the law which he and others
are clamoring for would give them the legal
right to do so. The very persons who now
charge the churches with exclusiveness and
pride want a law which in it's effect and ten
dency would make them more exclusive
Some are and must be, more rich more
wise" yet there are thousands who need doc
trine, reproof and instruction, who can af-
ford to pay very little for it, The truths
inculcated and enforced on Sunday are

In this city of churches and this noted seat
of learning is it not strange that the people
When the laws of God and man say that we
shall have one day in seven for rest and
quiet, why do we allow this violation of law i?
But it is said we do suppress the cries. such
as s'Cash paid for rags" and Oranges and
bananas" in our streets on the Sabbath. What
is the difference between CRYING ssCash paid
for rags and the papers made from the rags
after they are spread over with moral pollu-
ton?
We are compelled on a Sabbath morning
for hours to hear the cry of Sunday papers,
We know it is said there is religious reading
in them. Admit that there is much good
reading we know there is much that is de-
cidedly bad but suppose all is good secular
reading. Should they be cried in our streets
any more than cabbages or fruits, to the an
noyance of all Sabbath loving and church
going people?
If We admit that at theatre they chant
the Lords prayer or sing ''Nearer My God to
Thee" at the close of the performance does
that make it right to open our opera houses
for public entertainment on the Sabbath in
direct violation of the law of God and man !?
The dissertation of the Sabbath by running
railroad trains is another great evil. Had it
not been for the running of trains by one of
these Goddess corporations on Sunday the
writer would not probably have been upset
on his way from church and thereby subject
ed to loss of hundreds of dollars and his
wife made cripple for life.

man who will in the fear of God do his duty

In the mill mutual insurance companies in
New England there were sixty one establish
ments lighted by electricity up to last Nav.
With few exceptions, the lights had not been
in use previous to the fall of 1881, and many
had been started early in the spring In
these sixty-one establishments Mr. c. j. H.
Woodbury. records twenty-five fires due to
electric lighting. and assienable to the fol
lowing causes Eight were from globules of
melted copper or particles of hot carbon
falling out from the bottom Of the globes
The actual number of fires from this cause
was probably many times this number. This
class of fires will not continue to happen, as
all makers now set their lamp globes in q
tight stand with ridge around the edge. A
fiat plate will not answer the purpose, as
there was one instance where drops of melted
copper rolled off and set fire. Four fires
were due to leaking water or washing floors,
and two more were caused by water In dye
house condensing on the building to which
uninsulated wires were fastened. In most of
these instances grounded circuit formed one
of the two connections necessary to divert
the electricity from the wires. Many of the
lower carbops fell from lamps, and five fires
were caused where they fell upon combusti-
BILE material. Three fires were caused by
cross ace from one wire to another, where
uninsulated wires were fastened against con.
ductors. In one instance the conductor was
formed by dust settling upon uninsulated
wires, and on damp day 1t absorbed enough
moisture to form a path for the formation of
a cross arc, which started slight fire. In
another instance the wires were fastened to a
damp beam, which was decayed, and was
burned nearly in two by the smouldering fire.
And in third instance damp brick work in a
tunnel was a sufficient conductor to establish
an arc, which did not do any material damage
there, but injured the dynamo. Two fires
were caused by improper switches, two by
water reaching the wires of a circuit already
grounded, and one from wires coming in con.
tact with a building so that their insulation
was worn away. Electricity forms the safest
method of illumination when the following
precautions are observed The system in
sulated throughout, 80 that there is no cleo
trical communication with the earth, or from
one part of the apparatus to another, except
through the proper conductors, even If the
wires should be exposed to water; all switches
made with tapping connection, SO that no arc
can be formed; arc lamps provided with
globes closed underneath, and the frame SO
arranged that the lower carbon could not
fall out even if the clamp failed to hold II
securely the wires of incandescent system
provided with sufficient number of fusible
links to secure the system against damage
from excess of current.

To the Editor OF thu JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In reply to Mr.. Stow 1 would say, first,
that recognize the necessity for two parties
in the governm ent-two classes of minds,
two great laws in politics as in the heavenly
bodies--one bearing in one direction, the
other in the opposite direction. Without
such a state of things there would be monot-
ony and, as we'll as many other eviN, stag
natien. There is this difference, however,
between the physical and the political
in the latter sphere truth is never found
wholly on one side or the other. I do not
dispute the correctness of my opponents
fgures-''fgures never lie," as was observed
by gentleman who was looking at sign of
a fraudulent insurance company. Admitting
all his figures to be correct, it amounts to
this, that the Democratic party is always
outwitted, outgeneralled and kept in thral-
dom and subsection by the rascally Republi-
cans. This writer accepts no such conclu
sion. The prestige, the achievements,
and the recent successes of the Democrat
10 party sanction no such conclusion.
If the Republican party controls in one di-
rection the Democratic party controls in an
other. If Mr. Slows position is correct,
then we are not living under the common
wealth of Connecticut whose greatness is
based on universal education to which thou
sands from the mother country have come
