PRODUCTION Of new evidence, which was
not accessible until after the close Of
the war, and which showed that II was
physical impossibility for Porter to
have obeyed Popc's orders, the Com
mission thereupon reversing the original
judgment and establishing Porters in
noconce; nay, even after such Unoin
Generals as Ulysses s. Grant and Alfred
II. Terry avow their belief that Porter
has rested under o gricvous wrong
oil these long years, this malignant
Logan must needs discharge his long
pent-up venom at Porter. The fnct is,
that thisuniortunato gentleman was Zone
Of the most gallant, capable and chiv.
alrous officers on the Union side dur
ing the war. Tho Republican party
mover forgave Mcclellan for saving the
country He being too high quarry
to aim at openly, they fell with blind
partizan malice on Porter. No man, af.
ter reading Grant and Terry's letters TO
s.io knightly friend Of Little Mack"
aud the formers article in tho North
american Review, can fail to have 70.
alizing sense of the Outrage which was
put upon Porter. The truth Of the
matter Is that that dolt, braggart and
popinjay. Johu w. Pope, ought to have
been tried by Cour. Martial for gross in.
competency and criminal sacrifice Of
the lives Of the American citizen soldier,
found guilty and dismissed lie service.
Tho same treatment ought TO have been
dealt out to Mcdowell, and yet these
ninoompoops retained honor and emolu-
ment, and were steadily advanced over
the heads Of better men, while the
brave and competent Porter has been
obliged to pass the golden years of his
life under tho cloud OF an unjust verdict
Of Court Martial, followed by an ini'
quitous sentence. Logan is precisely
the caliber Of brute needed to do the
dirty work Of trying to obstruct long de.
ferred Justice to wronged nan.

Meerschaum Statistics
London Times.

lpihti tltnc1'
Tho place most productive OF this
mineral is known to be near the town OF
Eski-scheir. in Anatolia, Asia Minor.
A recent account by Herr Adler states
TINT the preparation Of 100 boxes OF
meerschaum there takes twelve TO iif.
about fl20. In Eski-soheir the average
price of the box of mercantile ware has
varied, since 1873, between about &c to
fl0 llast year it was about the formcr).
Refuse ware can be had at about an
eighth OF the price. There are ten
qualities, and each Is to be had in four
sizes. there being twenty-five to forty
pieces OF the first sizo per box, aud 400
to 1900 pieces OF the fourth tthe box is
thirty inches long, eight inches broad
and tiften and a-half inches deep). In
the last two decades the export OF
meeFschaum has considerably increased;
from 5000 boxes in 1885 it has risen
to IL, 100 in 1881. In Constantinople
the trade is managed by about fifteen
firms-Austrian Bulgarian, Greek, Ar.
menian and Turkish-who bring their
wares into the Vienna markets. The
large importation into Vienna may be
said to date from between 1850 and 1850,
when the production Of pipe.bowls ana
cigar.tips were greatly increased for ex.
port to England, France and North
America. In 1860 considerable exnDIt
OF pipes to San Francisco was frat dc ..
veloped, while large quantities of cigar.
tips were sent to America and Australia
via Hamburg. Since then the conditions
of the trade have altered much, chiefly
in consequence of the high duties i'm.
posed in America. III that country
arose, with the aid OF emigrant turner's
from Australia. home industry, which
has successfully competed with the vi.
emma pipe manufacture (for the products
Of which America was previously the
best customer), With France and Ger
many, the United States obtains the
raw product mainly from Austria.

Jumbo on His Muscle.


The Bridgeport Farmer says: Jumbo
took 1t into his capacious head last
night that he would like little moro
liberty, and SO he braced himself, and
placing his enormous head against the
side of the building, walked through il,
apparently as easily as though II were
paper. Previous to his return with the
travelling show, the corner designed
for him in the elephant quarters was
overlaid with plank. crossed and re-.
crossed, spiked and bolted, until wall
nearly foot thick has been formed,
and 1t was thought that nothing on this
earth could tear II down. But he pried
off the boards with his tusks, and made
quite hole in that way. Then he went
through what was left with the greatest
ease. He wasn't bit ugly about 1t; 1t
was only one of his playful freaks. Al
ter he reached the open air, he was as
quiet and gentle as a lamb, and walked
all around the grounds uneoncernedly,
in charge Of Mr.. Scott, his English train.

be realized. He will snap of beam six
inches square with great ease, and per-
form other pleasant tricks Of like nature.

moderate sum of two hundred and forty
francs. Sho would instantly have pur.

various mysterious signs OF discussion
from her husband, which surprised her
not a little, as sho knew him to be q
