At Constantinople there is great excite
ment. The Sultan presided at a council
called TO settle the question of sending
troops to Roumelia. Pending the decision,
several battalions of troops have been
ordered to concentrate on the Roumelian
frontier. The cabinet was divided on the
question of sending force to Roumeli .
Some of the Ministers were in favor of IL
patching ironclads with troops to Boorghas,
a seaport town of Eastern Roumelia, and Of
huFryiDg forward other divisions by way OF
Adrianople and Macedonia. Other mem.
bers of the cabinet thought that the signert
of the Berlin treaty should be consulted
before any decisive steps were taken. The
ambassadors of the treaty Powers at Con
stantinople were consulted by the Sultan,
but they had received no orders from Their
Governments as to what course they should
pursue. In accordance with the wishes OF
the Sultan, they have asked for instructions
and are now awaiting replies.
Several Turkish ironclads have beer
ordered in readiness for immediate active
service.

The Bottom Drawer.

l saw my wife pull out the bottom
drawer of tho old family bureau this
evening. and Invent softly out and
wandered up and down until 1 knew
she had gone to her sewing. We have
some things laid away in that drawer
which the gold of kings could not buy,
and yet they are relics which greive
us both until both our hearts are sore.
l haven't looked at them for a year,
but / remember each article. There
are two worn shoes, little chip hat
with part OF the rim gone, some stock
ings, trousers. and a coat, two or three
spools, bits of broken crockery, a
whip and several toys. Wife-poor
thing-goes to the drawer evrey day
of her life, and prays over it, and lets
her tears fall upon the precious arti-
Giles; but dare not go.
Sometimes we speak of little Jack,
but not often. 1t has been a long
time. but somehow we can't get over
grievlng. He was burst of sunshine
into our lives and his going away has
been like covering our everyday ex-
istence with pail. Sometimes when
we SIT alone of evenings. writing ana

will both start up with beating hearts

at the window where his blue eyes
used to sparkle at my coming, but he
is not there. listen for his pattering
feet. his merry shout. and his ringing
laugh, but there is no sound. There
is no one to climb over my knees, no
one TO search my pockets and tease

misses him still more. There are no
little feet to wash. no prayers to say,
no voice teasing for Jumps of sugar,

she would give her own life, almost,
