The Constantinople correspondent of the Berlin Borsen- Courier says that the recent at- tempt on the life of the Grand Vizier was more than an act of mere private revenge. The criminal, Ali Suavi, belongs to the class of ''fugitives"( (Muhadjir)whoc came to Turkey after the Russo Turkish war, hoping to find shelter and employment among their core Egionists. They are skilful, hard-working persons, but embittered by the indignities heaped upon them by the native popula- ton; and Ali Suavi, who had besides special grievance against the Grand Vizier, was to some extent leader of these fugi- tives, exciting them against the government, and ever making an attempt to release the imprisoned ex-Sultan Murad. It is said that Sultan Abdul -Hamid is fully aware of the political importance of the fugitives, and considered Ali Suayi's attempt as partly di- rect against himself.

A Couple that Enjoyed the I,ecture,

The recent railroad blockaderecals a story
that distinguished Maine gentleman tells

making journey down east when his train
became snowbound 1t was then evening,
and there was no hope of progress until day
light But near at hand was little village
which boasted a public hall 1t was sug-
gested that the passengers adjourn to the hall
and listen toan address by their distinguished
fellow traveller
lie finally consented to do his part; the hall
was warmed and lighted, and the lecturer
took his place.
The next day the gentleman was ap-
preached by a sturdy young yeoman who
said
"You're the man who made the speech last
night, amt youl"
The identity having been established he
went on:
II want to thank you for it. Idon't know
when I've enjoyed myself more than did
while you were talking"
The orator experienced the genial glow
which unconventional and unsought praise is
wont TO inspire, and he cordially took the
honest fellows hand.
Yes y the young man continued, ait was a
good thing. You see, my girl is on the
train, and while you were ecturing She and
had the car all alone to ourselves. Boston
