Lew Wallace from Abdul Hamid.

Gen. Lew Wallace, since his recall from
Turkey as United States minister has received
from the Sultan, who has in various ways mani
tested high regard for the distinguished In
diana citizen, number Of very beautiful and
costly presents. Among these highly valued
souvenirs is the imperial decoration of the
Mediidie, which was founded in 1852 by Sultan
Abdul Medjid. It comprises five classes,
differing in size and value. The design
in each is a silver sun of
seven triple rays, alternating with the
device of the crescent and the star. On circle
of red enamel, in the center of the decoration is
legend in Turkish, the significance of which is:
Zeal, Honor and Loyalty" and the date 1868
corresponding to A. d. 1852 The Sultan's name
is engraved on gold field within the circle. The
first three classes suspend the badge round the
neck, from narrow red ribbon bordered with
green, and star. closely resembling the order,
is worn on the left breast The grand Gordon, a
broad red ribbon with green border is worn
from the right shoulder across the breast and is
fastened at the left side with rosette. The second
is cigarette-holder of pure gold. the size of a
lady's ordinary card case. The lid is set with
twenty solitaire diamonds. A border on the rim
and the Initials s. Fl. in the center are made of
smaller diamonds.
Mrs. Wallace received from the Sultan various
presents Oh JGWelfy, one OIL WHICH WAS u uIa-
mond breast-pin of the Nshan U Shefkat, or, in
English. Order of Good Works. Among the
other souvenirs given to Mrs Wallace is a
necklace of gold, with pendant star set with dia-
monds. the center of which is red and green
enamel and contains the Sultan's monogram

of Lady Layard wife of Sir Henry Layard,
ambassador from England to Turkey during the
Russian war, which ended in 1873. The en-
bassadress was very active in the hospitals OF
the allied armies, and, as lasting memorial of
her charities, the badge was designed and pre-
scented to her by the present Sultan, Abdul
Hamid. 1t has recently been conferred on the
Queen of the Netherlands. the Crown Princess
of Austria. the Marquise De Noailles. the Count
ess of Dufferin and several others. With the
souvenirs presented to General Wallace is ar

LIFE AFTER DEATH.
A Series of Discussions by DR.. Gilbert for
Promoting Evangelical Religion.

Commencing next Sabbath evening, and con-
tinuing from week to week, Rev. j. E. Gilbert,
D. D.. pastor of Meridian-street M E. Church,
will deliver series of discourses on the future
life with the following dates and topics:
JAN 10-"The Reality of the Future Life >
Does death end all2 or does the spirit of man
survive his bodyi
Jan. 17-"Man's Spirit Immediately After
Death" Where is it, Is 1t conscious or does it
sleep? Is it in sorrow or joya
JAM 24-'"The Disembodied Spirit" Nav it
communicate with those living on the earth2
How much truth is there in modern spiritual
ism2
Jan. 31-'The General Resurrection" Will
mans body live again9 If SO, what will be its
characteristics
Feb. 1.-THE Final Judgment" Must all
men stand before Christ to give account of this
lfe2 What will be the significance of such an
event?
Feb. 14-"The Destiny Of the Wicked. y
Will they be annihilated9
Feb 21-"The Destiny of he Wicked" How
will they be punishedl Is there hell of fire
Feb. 20-"The Destiny of the Wicked" Will
they be punished forever, or will all men ulti-
mateiy be saveda How is the character of God
involved in the question:
March 1.-THE Destiny of the Righteous y
Will they make progress after deatha
March l4-"The Destiny of the Righteous.
Where or what shall be their eternal home9 Will
1t be condition, or place. or bothR
~, March 2l-'The Destiny Of the Righteous"
What will be the nature of the friendships of
heaven2 Will those who have been associated
in time recognize each other2
March 28-"The Ages to Come" What may
be known of the far-distant time2 What light
does this knowledge cast on the mysteries of the
present life2
DR.. Gilbert assigns as reason for these dis
cussions desire to promote evangelical religion,
believing that the prevailing worldliness and
irreligion are caused by erroneous or crude no
tions concerning the future state. That the
doubts and perplexities of his hearers may be
met, he promises to admit oral or written ques-
tions upon the several topics, or any matter re-
lated to them, to be answered publicly by him
so far as he may be able. He also proposes to
mako the Sabbath morning discourses cover
practical and spiritual sides of these themes,
thereby bringing his audiences, for three months,
face to face with questions of interest and duty
arising out Of questions Of destiny.

the State. He is Mason, Odd Fellow,
Good Templar. and member of the Grand

eton keys 10 gain entrance into the rooms
at the Ssgadahoc house. In his possess
sion were found gold and silver watches,
jewelry. rings, large collection of skele-
ton keys and files, One gold watch was
identified as the property Of Mrs. Harris,
proprietor OF the Central house, which was
successfully raided by Griffin and his pal,
Billy Dow. The latter escaped arrest.
Griffin has served term in Auburn jail for
house breaking and larceny in Lewiston.
The regular annual session Of the
grand lodge Of Maine Good Templars which
will be held in augusta. April IA AMI Is,
promises to he largely attended. The year
just ending has not been so favorable as
some that have preceded 1t, and the secre-
tsr,'s report will probably show a slightly
decreased membership. This has been due
10 several causes. In some cases he skat-
ing mania has tended to draw away the
Younger members; in other sections the ex-
listing labor troubles and agi,ations have
proved injurious and all over the State it
has been reactionary year such might
be expected To follow the wear of the amend
ment campaign and the extra amount Of
temperance work done in that year.

argument. Canada has everything 10 gain.
American fishermen c,erSthIng 10 lose, by
the resumption Of negotiations for new

Of Washington The Canadian fishing fleet
had a profitable market open to i, close at
hand. and American fishermen had no com
peusating advantages worthy Of considera-
ton. The privileges Of obtaining wood.
water and shelter were conferred bv the
treaty OF ISIS and the right 10 take FISH

teal advantage even in securing small hsh.

can fishermen secured in return the prvl-
lese Of huving their bait at "a expense of

menla'lau for d renewal pf international
