United states.

Gen. Lew Wallace, United States
minister TO Turkey, says; the relations
between the Porte and sultan and the
United States are of the kindest nature.
The Turks are a strange people ard are
not understood by us as they should be.
They are fully informed about us. If
any one Imagines that the authorities
there are ignorant of America they are
greatly mistaken. They are making
progress there under difficulties. Their
financial situation is the greatest obsta-
Gle, but they are striving to maintain
the credit of their government. They
have made what financiers here would
call an assignment. | think there is a
great misunderstanding in the world
regarding the sultan himself. From
the impression that has gone abroad he
might be regarded as a man of no ca
pacity. On the contrary, l believe
there is no monarch to-day actually adj
ministering a government in Europe
who is mis- superior. He s a man of
grea. intelligence, and has a thorough
appreciation of the needs of his empire.
He is al energetic worker, and deyotes
himself night and day to the business
that presentsitself. My candid opinion
is hat if he lives he win carry out the
reforms most pressing upon him. He
is a maj of acute intellect, sharp,
shrewd and a thorough diplomatlst.
The people are patient, enduring and
tolerant. They are suffering in many
ways, but they are hopeful. The rela-
lions between them and our people
could be easily drawn closer. The COM
mercial relations between us could, with
proper steps, be so fostered as to put
Our producers and manufacturers into
that field under the most advantageous
circumstances. What is needed on u
side to begin with is that we should
have ships to carry our products direct
ly to that country, bat there is no hope
for us as long as our trade is carried
there in foreign bottoms. In the three
years that | have been in Constantine
pie, which Is a commercial center, l
have seen our flag on two ships in the
harbor. One was the Namouna, James
Gordon Benefits yacht, and the other
was on the United States Q~uinnebaug.
This is bad for Fourth of July orators,
but it is a fact which the people might
as well know. | never have see our
flag upon a ship of commerce or a
steamer there. 1t is a matter of aston
ishment to the Turks. They know our
strength, our wealth, and u produ-
cling capacity. They ask repeatedly,
'Where are your ships 2" "'Where is
your fiag2" ''What is the matter?"
There is no answer to be given to them
except "Wait a little while"
Turkey is naturally "a rich country,
of from 26, 000, 900 to 80, 000, 600 of peo-
pie. They manufacture nothing, but
are dependent for the most ordinary
necessaries of life upon foreigners. |
know of no better market to be striyen
for in Europe or Asia than Turkey. It
is well worth the while of our people to
give attention to the budget. 1t is true
they are poor and money Is scarce, but
they have enough to buy with.

lHomeIy Girls.

why are homely girls always the
best scholars, the best workers and
make the best Wiyes?" This question
wa proposed by an observant and INTEL
ligent gentleman, who has been twice
led to the hymenial altar and is ready
to be sacrificed again.
els such really the casep"
81 have reason to know that it is. 1t
is natural enough, isn't it? The girl
who is handsome in feature and form
concludes very early IL life that these
are FER stock in trade and with them
she enters the matrimonial market.
Nine times out of ten she is Dol off
the hooks and at the head of a house,
Her homely sister has scarcely entered
her teens until she discovers she is
made to stand aside for the pretty
faced girls, All that neatness of dress,
elegance of manner and proficiency in
the arts of making One's self attractive
she does, deliberately and for a pur-
pose, perhaps, or possibly for no other
reason than, Topsy like, she grew that
way"
''The chances are she does it solely
for the purpose of compensating for her
lack of physical beauty"
MY observations lead directly to the
opposite conclusions" replied the in
telIigent observer. There is among
the great laws of nature one known as
the law of compensation. and L am
thoroughly convinced that to it the
homely girl Is indebted for the tastes
and disposition that prompts her to
make herself useful when she cannot
be ornamental"
"Then if you had the choice of two
ladies, one beautiful and the other
homely, you would take the homely
one2"
Experience and observation both
teach me that would be the wise thing
to de. The first impulse would natur-
ally be to take take the prettier of the
two, but | would give the first impulse
time to pass off, and act upon sober
second thought.
The old gentleman may be entirely
right ia this matter.

Mountains clothed with dense for
ests of cedars, spruce and hemlock
cover most of the surface of the Coun-
try we are about to enter. Numerous
wonderful iulets, sounds and channels
divide it into an archipelago of many
Islands, of which Graham, MOresby,
Provost, North Louis, Lyell and Barn
ably comprise the greater portion Of
their area. Although so far north, be-
ing directly under the influence Of the
warm Japan current, which sweeps
along these shores, their climate is mild,
Winters rarely severe, snowfall gener-
ally light except in the mountains, and
rainfall ranging from forty to seventy
inches, according to local topography,
the western slopes of the mountains re-
ceiying much the largest amount.
Their most valuable resources are fish,
lumber, fur, seal, sea otter and coal.
Veins of gold and copper have been
found, but not sufficiently developed to
Indicate their extent and value. They
are inhabited exclusively by the Hydah
Indians, now numbering about 800
souls, who live in the villages of Mas
sett and Skidegate, ON Graham Island;
Gold Harbor, on Maud Island, in Skide-
gate Inlet; Gumstrewa, on Moresby Is
land; Skedance, on Lyell Island; Tanoo
or Laskeck, on Tanoo Island, and at
Ninstints, OF a little island opposite the
west coast entrance to Houston, Stew
art Channel.
Their origin, III the absence Of any
written record or historical Inscriptions
is an interesting subject for speculation.
Their features, tattOoing, carvings and
legends indicate that they are castaways
from Eastern Asia, who, first reaching
the islands of Southern Alaska, o
took and held exclusive possession of
the Queen Charlotte group. Their
physical and intellectual superiority
over the other north coast Indians, and
also marked contrasts In the structure
Of their language, denote a different
origin. They are of great size, with
exceptionally well developed chests and
arms, high foreheads and lighter COM
pleXion than any other American In
dams. Masse't, the principal and pro-
badly oldest village of the Hydah IA
tion, is pleasantly situated on the north
shore of Graham Island, lat the entrance

and small, built of cedar logs and
planks, with a forest of carved poles in
front, extend along the line beach. The
house Of Chief Wecah is % feet square,
containing timbers of immense size and
planks three feet and q half in width
and eighteen inches thick. The village
now has a population of about 2j0, the
remnant of a once numerous people, the
houses in ruins here having accommo-
dated several times that number. Mas
sett is the shlpyard of the Hydahs, the
best canoe makers on the continent,
who supply them to the other coast
tribes. Here may be seen in all stages
of construction these canoes, which,
when completed, are such perfect mo-
dels for service and of beauty. This is
the abode of the aristocracy of Hydah
Land; of head chief Edensaw and of
Wecah Stilta, Kinaskilas Kiltslouia,
Spence and Cootay, minor ~chieftains,
who have but little now remaining ex-
cept their titles, of which they are very
proud.

FADED LEAVES.

The hills are bright with naples yet;
But down the level land
The beech leaves rustic in the Wino
As dry and brown as sand.
The clouds ia bars of rusty red
Along the hill-tops glow,
AS in the still, sharp air the frost
Is like a dream Of snow.
The berries Of the briar-rose
Have lost their rounded pride,
The bitter sweet chrysauthelnums,
Are dropping, heavy-eyed.
The cricket grows more friendly now,
The dOrmouse sly and wise,
Hiding away in the disgrace
OF nature from mems eyes.
The pigeons in black wavering lines
Are swinging toward the sun
And all the wide aud withered fields
Proclaim the summe done.
His store of nuts and acorns now
The squirrel hastes to gain,
And sets his house in order for
The winters dreary reign.
IT'S time to light the evening fire,
To read good books, and sing
The low and lovely songs that breathe
OF the eternal spring.

A Moorish House.

Coming by what may be called a
mistake up one of these unguarded
archways IN a deserted alley, VIZ had a
confused glance of a splendid court of
bright greenery, walls white as snow,
playing fountains, rich mosaics, marble
pavements-a sight to fill the head for
life with delicious dreams. II Is a type
of a first-class Moorish house: many Of
the dwellings which lie behind these
prison walls are built on the same plan
"a central court surrounded with long,
narrow wlndowless rooms opening on
to a balcony of Moorish horseshoe arch
ways by IA wide door, which serves in
the day for both air and light and is
closed at night by a curtain. One side
of the court is for the servants, one for
the women and children, and one for
the master, the other being reserved
for receptions and friends. The court
yard of the weather. class Is laid III
chased marbles, with mosaic basins,
and fountains, which play surrounded
by graceful greenery, under whose
shade meals are often taken; in the
heaven.open courts the grander parties
are held. These rooms are furnished
with never.failing taste, and thu gala
attire of the family is marvellous alike
for simplicity and pomp and grace of
color. The poorest and richest dwell
lings are of the same general plan.

Sugar.

The exact date of the invention of
sugar is lost IN the midst of fable.
However, sugar is said to have beel
known to the Chinese three thousand
wears ago, and there is not much doubt
but that the manufacture of the article
was carried ON under the Tsin dynasty
two hundred years, b. G. A strong clam
for priority has been made for India.
Probably the Hindoos learned the art
from the Chinese, ard from India the
knowledge was carried west. Three
hundred aud twenty years b. c.. Alex
ander sent Nearchus with a large fleet
down the Indus to explore the adjacent
countries, When that officer returned
from his. expedition, he brought to
Greece w account of the Sugar which
the Asia5A made from cane, without
any assiAA1A from bees. This was
the earliest idea. Che western nations
had Of sugar, the Jews, Egyptians,
B%abylonians and Greeks knowing moth
ing of it's use. AS late as A. d. $50,
sugar was prescribed by Galen, the IA
nous physician, as a medicine. During
the wars of the roses, about l454, Mar
garet PASTOR, wife of a wealthy gentle
man of Norfolk, wrote = her husband,
begging that he would ''vouchsafe" to
send her a pound of sugar. As late as
the year 100, all Englond consumed
only twenty million pounds in the
Ause of q year.
