Turkeys Altitude.

The Sultan has probably never felt
his Importance in European politics so
keenly as at this moment, when Mr..
Gladstone, who formerly described him
as the unspcakable Turk, is bidding for
his favor against the Russians, who
whipped him in 1873. The Russians
are making tempting overtures to Tdr-
key, batting the hook with provinces on
her northern boundary, the possession
OF which would tend TO consolidate and
perpetuate the Turkish empire in En-
rope. The solicitude of both England
and Russia for Turkeys friendship is of
course caused by the latter's control of
the Dardanelles, which commands the
entrance 10 the Black sea- There is.
however, this important difference be-
tween the two suitors. for Turkeys
favor: England could force the straits
and Russia could not. No ordinary war
vessels of either navy could pass the
Dardanelles castles and the forts and
batteries which line the straits from the
-Egean sea to the Sea of Marmora, but
the forts could be silenced by two or
three of the British monster turret-
ships, such as Inc Inaexible, Devasta-
ton, Terror, Alexandria or Hercules.
Then these floating steel forts could be
stationed at either end of tie straits to
protect English and exclude Russian
vessels. These facts are as well known
to the Sultan as to the British admiralty.
and it is firmly believed that his friend

We agree with the Chicago Herald
that the liberation of a Mormon who
pleaded guilty of polygamy and prom
lsed to renounce his second and third
wives, save in the matter of furnishing
them with means of support is the first
serious mistake that the Federal author
tiles in Utah have made.
The saint is not any better than any
OF the others, and the sincerity of his
sudden conversion when the doors Of
the penitentiary were opening for him
may well be questioned. Similar con-
fessions on the part of others arrested
for like oilenses would presently nulify
the law and embolden the Mormons to
practice in secret that which has become
dangerous openly to continue. The OBJ
lection that hardship may follow too
rigorous enforcement of the law is of no
consequence. Every conviction OF a
criminal carries grief, shame and hard.
ship to some innocent persons.
Mormons who take measures to bring
themselves within the letter of the law
before any criminal prosecution against
them IS begun are entitled to some con-
sIderation, but they who wait until the
penalties of violated law are upon
them before announcing their compH-
ance with its terms are not to be trusted.

1t appears that the United States war

have been planted at the mouth of the
river since the steamer went up, and
which are not likely to be removed until
the war between France and China is
concluded The Juniata cannot get out
until the torpedoes are removed unless
she takes the chances of being blown

LITERARY NOTES. An article of verv

ised for the May number of Harper's
Magazine, on Jersey Cattle in Ameri-
ca" by Hank Comstock Portraits are
given, from direct photographs, of a
number of the most notable butter-pro-
ducing COWS of this stock. one of which,
"Alphea," owned by Col r. NJ Hoe,
produced under enforced tests over %
pounds of butter week while her
granddaughter, "Eurotas,' owned by
Mr.. y. b. Darling, produced 77S pounds
of butter in eleven months and five
days. The writer, who is one of the
best authorities on this subject, gives an
interesting sketch of the means taken
in the Channel Islands to keep the breed
pure, the laws having for u hundred
years back excluded all foreign cattle
except such as were imported for meat,
which had to be slaughtered ut the port
of arrival; and his remarks on the pres
cnt state of the stock and IFS prices in
this country are Of practical value.

The Benevolent old Man.

Youths Companion.
just as evening was closing in, curly
headed little boy was standing on tiptoe
on the doorstep of house in Chelsea,
trying to reach the door bell just then
a benevolent old man passed along. He
paused, and with kindly smile. patted
the boy on the head.
"My son, that door-bell is a little be
yond your reach, isn't it,
''Yeth sir"
"Ahr' continued the old gentleman,
musingly. 'It is a fit symbol of the
striving of youth after the unattainahIe.
How often in this world the thing we
most desire is beyond our grasp! And
when, after continued effort, we have
secured the object of our ambition, how
often we find that it is not worth what
it has cost! My little man, am taller
than you. Shall ring the bell for you"
IF you wanth to- replied the boy,
looking at him out of the corners of his
roguish eyes.
With another fathcrly smile, the old
gentleman gave the bell-handIe a vigor-
GUS pull What was his amazement to
see the boy jump from the steps and slide
around the corner with these words.
YOU'D better hurry now, or they viii
be after you!"
The boy had scarcely disappeared,
when an upper window opened and the
contents of bowl of water descended
on the old man, accompanied with the
words:
Take that for your impudence"
There is one man in Chelsea who
thinks he will not help any more little
boys pull their neighbor's door-bells-at
least until after he has asked a few ques-
tions.
