The English and French governments
are experimenting with a smokeless powder
which gives excellent results. Comment
ing on them the New York Sun says This
is the sort of material with which all the
armies of Europe are now equipped. The
employment of a smokeless powder through
the barrels of rapid-firing guns, both in the
hands of infantry and artillery, will cause
the battles of the future, when once fairly
joined, to rage with fury hitherto un
known, and thus the probability of Lord
Wolseley's prediction is greatly heightened,
that by the new tactics the historic move
ments shoulder to shoulder must be su-
perseded by methods somewhat resembling
those of savages, whereby each soldier
fights at greater intervals from his com
rades and with greater individual responsi-
bility. Everything tends to make the next
serious contest as novel in its style as it
must he te rrible in its result.

A Globe Democrat special from Ore
gon, Mo-, says: "An extraordinary evi
dence of the reasonableness Of an old
time superstitution was given here few
days ago. when the body of young man
who had been drowned was found by
placing one Of the deceaseds shirts on
the waters surface and following
it in boat, until it sank. The young
mans name was Ryan, and he was
drowned while bathing in the Nodawsy
river in company with several acquain-
tances. Ryan got out Of his depth and
was drowned before any Of the more &C.
complished swimmers could get to his
ass stance. The alarm was given but it
was some hours before search could be
made for the body After every effort
had been made by dragging and
diving it was suggested to
throw the shirt he had on just
before he went into the water. Near the
same place man was drowned in the
Norfolk river few years ago, and his
body had been found by the same expert
ment. The custom requires that the
shirt be thrown in about where the
drowned one enters the stream. Agree.
ably TO custom, Mr.. Taylor, a resident of
the neighborhood spread out the shirt
with the bosom downwards and arms
stretched out on the water and let it float on
down the stream as it would. He fol-
lowed slowly after it in a skiff. After
the shirt had hoated along for about one
hundred feet it suddenly sank plumb
down The man hurried with the skifl
and was close by when the last vestige OF
the garment was seen. Then he stopped
and felt down with long pole right
after the shirt and touched the body
with the end of the pole. He told ths
Globe Democrat correspondent that his
skiff rested almost over the body. and
that he let the pole follow right down by
the side of the skiff, touching the body
almost Immediately This was said in
the presence of several eye witnesses
who corrohorated his statement"

THE unspeakable Turk is occupying
the attention Of Europe again. This
time he is exercising his peculiar play
fulness in Crete and Macedonia His
cruelties equal the atrocities practiced by
the Bashi Bazouks in the Balkans in
1876. There they shocked the Christian
world and made a pretext for the Russo
Turkish war Crete has already rebelled,
but Macedonia is held covering under
the influence Of the cruel oppres
sions from which her degenerate
people have suffered for INJURIES
They have not spirit enough
even to cry for help. Many Of Turkeys
subjects are Christians They have en-
dured merciless oppression Turkey is
as barbarous as when her armies threat
ened the peace of Europe and the decay
Of her military vigor has not diminished
her thirst for cruelty. She is deferred
from wholesale rapine and slaughter by the
fear Of her civilized neighbors. Greece
would interfere in behalf Of Crete If she
dared. She is not strong enough to at
tack Turkey. Russia would come
at once to. the succor Of any smaller
power which might resist Turkish op.
preston If the other powers would allow
her clear field Russia would easily and
gladly wipe out the Turkish empire aud
change the map OF Europe if she could
have her way. Turkey is allowed to
exist on the plea Of preserving the bal.
anee Of power in Europe. England keeps
Turkey alive as barrier against Russia
England is indirectly responsible for
the atrocious, treacherous and blood
thirsty Turk. The relations among the
great powers are so strained that no one
Of them can interfere TO stop the bloody
hand Of The Turk without incurring the
displeasure Of Great Britain, without
giving Russia an opportunity to seize
Constantinople, and hold the Bosphorus
Then there are France and Germany ap.
parentlY awaiting pretext to hurl their
immense armies against each other.
Little Italy has her feet Of big iron clads
ready to throw shot and she'll at nom
ents notice and even Switzerland has hel
back up Il seems as if tile fall Of
glove would inaugurate universal war
Meantime the unspeakable Turk robs
cheats, steals and murders as his lust
his cowardice and his barbarity dictates
unmolested and unpunished all becaus
the peace Of Europe" must be pre-
served

THR colored men in some portions OF
Ohio seem dissatisfied. They have been
doing the voting for Foraker and his
tribe Just as Field Marshal Halstead com
manded them, but they have not enjoyed
any Of the fruits and very little even Of
the glory of the victories. They met in
Findlay last week and had highly salts
factory indignation meeting. One Of the
speakers made some particularly intama-
tory remarks intended TO attract the at
tention of the Republican machine poll
clans. He said that the colored men held
the balance Of power in that county
and Ia the state He said that the Re-
publicans had never kept their promises
and now the oolored people meant to
teach them that the colored men could
not he led as lambs to the shambles any
longer" Il Is quite likely that there is
some dissatisfaction among the colored
voters of Ohio es there is everywhere
else because the Republicans haze not
fulfilled their promises but when the
colored leaders shall have been paci-
fed with an office the bulk Of the broth
ers will then "lay down" They
are too craven to assert indie
pendence. 1t Is quite likely
that this inhamatory orator has his
weather eye cosked on some high hang
ing official plum which he expects that
speech to.reach and bring down II he
gets his own plum he win be quiet. The
Republicans know that and win likely
quiet him with a promise 1t is almost
certain that the colored brother will not
pick up many offices in Ohio, because the
white brothers are too numerous and too
smart for him. SO their indignation
meetings will begin and end with impa-
tient threats. The Republicans will
continue to make promises and break
them.

was returning from Philadelphia by rail
few evenings since and had whole car
to himself. AS he comes down on the

with the train hands. The brakeman
passed through the car and noticed the
single passenger.
"How are you, John Wansmaker,' he
said

for moment and said with evident
scorn-s'Im not John Wanamaker"

man as he assumed an administration

consulted together the action Of President
