Among the Turk0mans.

These Merv Turcomans, says re-
cent writer, seem to have nothing to
do but loaling about all day from hut
to hut to see if they cannot surprise
some eatables. They gorge themselves
to excess on every possible occasion
with greasy food, and are continually
Ill from indigestion. They throng my
house, partly to satisfy their curiosity
by staring at me and partly to devour
the greater portion of any food [ may
have prepared for my own use. In
this way, unless enc is prepared to
feed dozen persons on each occasion,
he has no chance of getting a mouth
full for his meal. 1t is of no use say
ing that what you are eating is pig,
for they eat pork readily. Covetous
raracity seems to be their leading
characteristic. They appear to think
the whole world is bound to con-
tribute to their support; they give
nothing in return. No one who has
not suffered as l have among the

way by their abominahle presence

Mid.Atlantic Telegraph Stations.

Chambers Journal takes up the re-
cent bold plan of Mr.. w. G. Anderson,
for founding "deep-sea lighthouses !"
as " hopeful scheme" which, If car
ried out, will fulfill a want that has
long been acknowledged as aneceSsary
one"
Mr.. Anderson's plan, as recently ex-
planned to the London Society of En-
gineers. is to construct hollow cylin-
der of riveted iron work, 200 feet long,
to consist of two sections the upper
part to be 40 feet long, destined to
rear its head above the waves and fit
ted as an ordinary lighthouse-while
the remaining portion of the tube is to
be ballasted so as to sink below the
water line and counteract the force OF
winds and waves on the exposed part.
The whole apparatus is to be anchored
in deep water by heavy steel cables.
The inventor claims that it would be
easy to tow the structure to the spot
selected for it, and then by admitting
water to the lower section it would
sumo an upright position and ride
the waves like a bottle The English
| journal referred to says: lowing to
our insular position we are dependent
for our storm warnings on our trans

possible to found q floating telegraph

Battle Between a Rat and a Turtle.

Hon. John B. GARNER, of Lawrence
burg, Ind, has quite a curiosity in his
garden. 1t is pet turtle, of the hard
shell kind. Its popularity consists in
its ability to catch rats. Ever since
the late flood these rodent pests, being
driven from 0ldtown by the water,
have been an almost intolerable
nuisance to the inhabitants of Newton,
which is fortunately located on high
ground. Mr.. GARNER and family have
frequently noticed the pet turtle feast
ing on the carcass Of dead
rats, and had wondered at this
strange sight; but yesterday, as
the gentleman was showing some
friends through his beautiful garden
of flowers, their attention was at
tgacted to the rustling of plants near
by, accompanied Ivy a scratching and
whining noise. On investigating the
cause of this disturbance, what was
their surprise to find the turtle engaged
in fierce battle with a large rat.
The turtle had the rat 10y the side, and
was dexterously usirg its claws on the
struggling animal The rat was re-
sisting its enemy, furiously biting and
scratching the hard shell of its assail-
at, but without making an impress
sion. 1t was squealing most piteously.
and while the visitors were looking on
in astonishment the turtle coolly com
pleted its work of death, and the rat
rolled over corpse. Cincinnati

reformation of prison discipline. 1t
has been proposed that prisoners shall
be paid for the labor they perform;
that, so far as may be, there shall be
no restriction of the in luStries or hon
est occupations which prisoners may
follow; that they shall be allowed to
engage in trades and industries on
their own account, and that they shall
even be permitted TO traffic with the
outside world so far us may be compat-
ible with insurance against escape and
the commission of frauds or other I'M
lawful practices, and that all prisoners
shall he entirely dependent upon their
industry for their living and comfort,
except in cases Of sickness and d;sabil-
ity; that they shall support themselves
by their laEor. and grow rich or remain
poor by their labor; in fine, that true

"HAIL COLUMBIA"

al Hymn Came f0 be Written.


X X n
"Hail Columbia" was written in
the summer of 1898, at a moment
when the United States seemed about
to be drawn into a war with Franz e,
their old ally and friend. The Ameri-
can ENJOYS sent out by President
Adams, with no other object than to
restore a good understanding, were
thought to have been grossly insulted
by France. An army and navy were
in preparation. General Washington
had accepted the chief command, with
Alexander Hamilton as his second,
and nothing was thought of but inn
pending war.
a vocalist by the name of Fox was
about to have a benefit in Philadel-
phia, and owing to the excitement that
prevailed the prospect of a good at
tendance was not encouraging. His
benefit was announced for Monday
evening, and it was only on a Satur-
day previous that he had an idea for
drawing house. ,
One of his school-fellows, Joseph
HOpkinson, son of a distinguished
father, had become himself a man of
note in the intellectual circles of Phil
adelphia society. He was vice-presi-
dent of the American Philosophical
society, founded by DR.. Franklin, and
presided over by Thomas jefferson.
He was president of the Academy of
Fine Arts, and was somewhat noted
for his poetical cffuSions.
The vocalist, in his extremity, went
to his old ol-friend and told him
that he had little chance of a paying
audience unless he could annOun"e
something new and striking in the
way of a patriotic song. piece that
could be sung 10y the whole company
to an easy or familiar tune, like the
Presidents March" lie added that
the poets of the company had been
trying to p'oluce The required song,
but had been unable TO accomplish it..
al will try what [ can do for you" !"
said Hoplinson.
The vocalist called the next after
noon, when the words were ready for
him, and he took them at once to a
musician of the theatre who selected
and adapted TO them an old and easy
air. On Monday morning the song
was announced in the newspapers and
diligently rehearsed upon the stage.
A crowde hou sc rewarded the efforts
Of the singer and the poet, and the
song was received with the greatest
enthusiasm. The words and music
were at once published, and the piece
was sung at every patriotic gathering
during that period of excitement.

1.-The object of the author was to get
up an American spirit, which. should
be independent of, and above, the in
terest, passion and policy of roth bel
ligerents, and look and feel exclusively
for our honor aud rights. No allusio1
is made TO France or England, or tie
quarrel between them, or TO the ques-
ton which was most in fault in their
treatment of us; of course. the song
found favor with both parties, for beth
were American: at least, neither could
disown the sentiments and feelings it
indicated"
The following are the words of the
song, as originally written at PhiIadel-
phia in 1898:
