The stirring campaign which Mr.. Glad
stone made against the Disraeli ministry ON
the issue Of the "unspeakable'' Turk is yet
remembered as one of the most forcible of
modern political crusades. That was about
ten years ago; bu. the wirligig of events
seems to heve brought around to Mr.. Glad
stone another similar, though less important,
opportunity. The Bulgarian outrages,
which stirred Europe so nightly against the
Turk. are repeated on small scale in Ar
menia, where Turkish official, Moussa Bey,
ischarged with incendiarism, murder, pillage
and robbery. The courts of Turkey have ac-
quilted him of the charges, but the Christian
world is not satisfied. Mr. Gladstone has
raised the cry in England and the response
recalls the wave of indignation that swept
over that country at the time of the Bulga-
rian outrages. America also is interested In
the cruelties perpetrated by Moussa Bey.
Among his victims were two American mis-
sionaries at Van, whose cause our minister
at Constantinople has taken up The abused
missionaries have been summoned by the
minister to give their testimony. and it is be-
lieved that our government will insist upon
the punishment of the bandit Governor.

Jefferson Davis is getting much better
obituary notices in 1889 than he would have
received In 1869 had he died then. Whether
today's view of him is more just than was
the view Of 1869 is questionable. 1t shows,
however. that the memories of the war have
so greatly faded that 1t is possible now to
disconnect even the official head of the Re-
bellion from the misery and destruction
which he wrought, and extenuate almost to
the point of justification his course without
raising storm of indignant protest. Had
the Rebellion been spontaneous movement
OF the people of the South the extenuation
now offered that he and the other leaders
were impelled by an overwhelming public
sentiment would have coed deal Of force in
1t. But 1t is matter of history that the
people Of the majority Of the states were
practically forced OF tricked into the seces-
sion movement. Instead of being sponta-
neous movement of the people it was in
many Of the states simply conspiracy of
political leaders to which the people were
compelled In various ways to give assent.
That these leaders honestly believed in the
doctrine Of state sovereignty affords no suf-
fcient excuse for their leading the people on
to rebellion, and adopting dishonest methods

paying s1 per barrel freight and selling it at s1 20. They have also shipped salt east at the same exorbitant rates. The Kansas and New York producers have been send ing salt into Michigan and Illinois with like result-loss On both sides. It is now proposed to stop all this, to apportion it's own district to each manufacturing point, adjust the loss on the long freight haul, and-put the price of salt up ten cents a barrel
 Such is the scope and design of the pro- posed salt trust as laid down by one of its largest members. There is of course no thought paid to the interest of the con sumer, and it is not at all improbable that the price will be increased much more than ten cents barrel when the ma chinery of the trust is well fabricated. It is the same old story of the trusts that are fostered and strengthened by our existing legislation and which there is such an in disposition on the part of legislative assemblies to amend. When the trusts shall have wound their coils about every thing that men use perhaps there will be an awakening and the trusts will bust

Rice Is, no doubt, the most extensively used article of food the world over Hundreds of millions of people chiefly subsist on 1t, and It's consumption is con- stantly increasing. It Is the principal diet of at least One-third of the human race, forming the chief food of the native populations of India, China, Japan, Mad agascar, many parts of Africa, and in fact of almost all eastern nations. The Burmese and Siamese arc the greatest consumers of it. A Malay laborer gets through flfty-six pounds monthly; a Bur- mese or Siamese forty-stx pounds in the same period.
 The eastern nations also chiefly obtain their beverages from rice, which Is tho principal grain distilled in Siam, Japan or China. Saki, or rice beer, is produced in Japan to the extent of 150, ,OOO, GOO gallons annually. Although rice Is such a uni versal article of food, it Is not so nourish- ing as wheat or some other grains. More than nine-tenths of It's substance consists of starch and water; consequently 1t forms more fat than muscle.-N. Y Tele- gram.

He roretold the cardjnal., Birth.

A curious legend Is associated with the birth of Mgr. Richard. one of the French cardinals to whom the pope has just sent their hats. Tho father of the cardinal archbishop, of Paris. distinguished only son-a young man who had in his short life developed all the virtues. The mother of the deceased had passed her 65eh year, and the story goes that as the youth lay dying he called his father and mother to him and said, ''Console your- selves, another son will take my place p' And surely enough, before the ffst an- niversary of their sons death came round the spouse of tho worthy doctor had presented him with another son. who was always known as ..l'enfant du miracle" This second son Richard Francis Marie Benjamin-is now oaStii- nal archbishop of Paris. - London Egaro.

SCIENTIFIC SELECTIONS.

IT is predicted that when aluminium takes tho place of steel and iron in the manufact- ure of ocean steamers, and electricity is substituted for steam as motive power, the trip across the Atlantic will be made Ill three days.
 A COMPLETE list of the flora of Newfound- land and Labrador, in preparation by Rev. A. c. Waghorne, will contain about nine hundred species of towering plants, about fifty ferns, and over two hundred and fifty mosses and lichens.
 4 CASE of poisoning from eating a mack erel has led to the statement from excellent authority that "the gills of mackerel un- dergo fermentation, and that no part of the head or near tho head should be eaten after forty-eight hours of the fish being caught"
 SPoNGEs are marine animals, not fishes. The breeding time Is in spring. The young sponges swim about for some time, but finally became fixed to rocks and grow The sponges we use are obtained principally in the Mediterranean Sea and among the Bahama Islands.
 THE Paris Academy of Science Is reported excited over plant called colocasia. "This plant often exhibits a trembling or vibrat- ing motion without any apparent cause, and as many as one hundred or one hundred and twenty vibrations have been observed in single minute"
 THE highest point at which regular meteorological observations are made is on the Andes, in Peru, at height of 14,3OO feet. Harvard College has weather ob- servatory in Colorado only few feet less than the former. The station on Pike's Peak is at an altitude of IA, 100 feet. In Europe there are but two stations at any considerable height, these being about TO- 900 and Il 900 feet respectively.
 ALL the good qualities of the metals seem to be contained in aluminium, and engineer ing will be amazingly benefited if it can be cheaply produced. It is only one-third as heavy as iron and yet very tough. It has a very low melting point and hence can be cast with great facility, and, besides, it works well under the hammer. The changes which would be permitted in the construc- tion of engines, boilers, hulls, etc, by the use of metal only one-third as heavy as iron can be readily imagined. The solution of aerial navigation, if ever reached, will probably depend npon the use of this metal. THE chances of life are thus set down : Out of every 1000 men 25 of them die an nually. One-half those who are born die before they attain the age of seven years. The men able to bear arms form 8 fourth of the inhabitants of a country. More old men are found in elevated situations than in val leys and plains. The number of inhabitants of city or country are renewed every thir- ty years. The proportion between the deaths of women and those of men is 100 to 10. The probable duration of female lives is sixty years, but after that period the calcu- lation is moro favorable to them than to men.

LORD FIFE, the young man who has been picked out as the Prince of Wales son-i law, has evinced a creditable desire to be independent of his royal relatives. The fight now going on over the allowance to be granted the princess by the government is nore of Fifes seeking, and he has of fered to settle upon his future bride sum the interest of which would equal any grant parliament would make As his an- nual income is over S500,OO this could not cause him any embarrassment. Nev- ertheless royalty claims that it is the principle involved, not the money, they are contending for; so the fight is likely to go on, in spite of Lord Fife. It is quite evident that Fife's is not the last marriage tn at is expected to occur in the royal family of England.

Wheeler of Manistee, Mich, one of the most prominent salt man. ufacturers in the west, with capital of 32O, 900, 900 and will be incorporated under the laws of New::York. The producers of salt, MT Wheeler says, have been waging 0 disastrous war against each other in Michi- gan and Kansas and New York. They have been shipping salt from Chicago, the distributing point, to places in Kansas,

There is a suspicion in some quarters that reports of Blaine's intended resignation are the his own head needs contracting.
