THE address of the New Foundland
Legislative Council and House of Assem-
bly, to the Queen has the ring of revolt
in it. Whileit is respectful, it is firm and
speaks of determination on the part Of
the people of the island that will not brook
refusal. They demand that the French
shall be retired from the position they
have taken upon the fishing banks and
shores and that they be limited to the
strict letter of the treaty by which they
enjoy certain fishing privileges along New
Foundland shores. There can be no mis-
taking the tone of the address; it breathes
of anger all through, and sounds strangely
like the protests the American colonies
sent up to King George and his Parlia-
ment. 1t is not probable that the English
Government since the American revolu-
ton has received so pronounced docu-
ment arraigning the Queens advisers for
mistaken policy and shortsightedness.
The address is certain to excite great in
terest in England, and will be seized
upon by Gladstone and his following as a
new reason for assault upon the Imperial
Ministry. They will assuredly make the
most of ii.

THE Louisiana Lottery concern is not
content with the offer it has made to that
State. 1t is now exercising its mobile
hand in North Dakota, and laying the
wires for controlling the Legislature to be
elected the coming fall. The opinion is
expressed that unless very active meas
ures are taken against it, the lottery con-
Germ will win. 1t is said that while the
people OF Dakota do not like the idea Of
selling out to gambling institution, the
price offered is strong temptation, and as
the lottery will probably increase the
offer of 100000 year, the likelihood is
tina. votes enough will be cast for friends
of the scheme to secure the passage of the
consenting bill. Fortunately for North
Dakota, however, the Governor will not
give his sanction to any such measure, and
the gamblers will therefore have to secure
two-thirds of the Legislature. This they
may be able to do, unless an unusually
yigilant and aggressive campaign is in
augurated against the schemers.

HE WAS ASHAMED
To Ask Again, but His Frank Letter
Got 1t for Him.


A few months ago one of the unfortunate
inmates in the San Francisco Almshouse
was inspired by the sensational statements
in the newspapers with the belief that Joys
Vegetable sarsaparilla would help him. But
without money, how to get it was the ques-
ton. Finally he wrote to the Edwin w. Joy
Co., appealing to their generosity, and it was
not unheeded, the coveted preparation be-
ing sent by the next parcel delivery. Its
effect is best told in subsequent letter, from
which we quote the following

and my circumstances and condition. Al
though improving, l ask of your generosity

que a man wishes to tell his friend that
he cannot meet him as arranged, and he
does it through the same channel. The
scribe is both secretary and messenger,
for he has to deliver the note, and read
it to the person to whom it is addressed.
He is a man of secrets, and being an Ar

According to the New York Witness,
"a German traveller just returned to
Berlin from West Africa takes quite a
different view Of African slavery from
that commonly entertained. He says that
The slaves in the western part OF the con-
tinsnt, o. least, are as well of as their
masters and have no desire to change
their condition. Slave and master cat,
sleep, labor and enjoy themselves together
IN such terms of equality that one might
live for weeks ina village without being
able 10 decide who are in bondage and
who are free. A proclamation of eman-
cipation would not be welcome to these
dawes, and were their freedom purchased
Tor them they would simply continue in
voluntary servitude. This description
may be- in q measure, true enough of GER
tain parts Of West Africa where the slave
driver with his chains and scourge is IN
known, but we have it on the word Of
missionaries who testify to the things
their own eyes have seen, that the evils
of the Arab sieve trade in the regions
shout the great lakes Of Central Africa
ere beyond the power Of exaggeration-
are II fact only d little less deplorable
than the ubiquitous rum traffic carried on
by Christian nations il Africa.

The New York Commercial AdUertiser
makes q very vigorous and sensible de-
Tense of Americans against the criticism
that has grown out of the fact that so few
of our public men are able to speak to the
delegates of the Pan-American congress
in Spanish. The conditions of European
Life are such as to make the command of
more than mi language natural and al
most necessary. In this country, on the
other hand, it is but a few years since
English was universal, and the over
whelming preponderance of the purely
American infueneeei is certain to counter
act that of incoming foreigners and bring
them to our own tongue. The command
Of . foreign language is an elegant accom-
piishment, but the Detroit Free Press
thinks it not q necessary part Of the
equipment of an educated American.

WISE WORDS.

It is impossible hat an ill-natured man
can have a public spirit; for how should
he love 10, 900 men who never loved one.
p It should seem that incidence itself
would induce a person to be honest, as it
requires infinitely greater pains and con.
trivances to be a knave.
An indiscreet man is more hurtful than
an ill-natured one; for the latter will only
attack his enemies, and those he wishes
ill to; the other Injuries indifferently both
friends and foes.
The chief secret of comfort lies in moi
suffering triies to vex us, and in pru.
IDENTIFY cultivatlng u underground OF
small pleasures, since very few great ones,
'alas! are let on long leases.
A good inclination is but the first rude
draught of virtue; but the finishing
strokes are from the will; which, if vel
disposed, will by degrees perfect; if il
disposed, will by the superinduction o.
i'll habits, quickly deface it.
We can be thankful to a friend for a
few acres, or a little money; and yet TO,
the freedom and command of the whole
earth, and for the great benefits of GU.
being, our life, health and reason, w.
look upon ourselves as under no obliga,
ton.
Good manners are the blossoms of goot
sense and of good feeling. If the law Of
kindness be written on the heart, it will
lead to that disinterestedness in boil
great and little things-that desire t.
oblige, and that attention to the gratif.
cation Of others, which are the founda
ton Of good manners

a native congress, recently held at
Bombay, has agreed upon a plan of po-
litical organization for India, which is
to be- presented to Parliament. The es-

formed upon the basis of twelve MEM

this great body to be controlled by an

strong and odorous, with a thick sedi-
ment-were most refreshing. Then we
drew up to the marble basin in the middle
of the room, and each took a Whit or
two of the narghileh; for the Turk never
considers you his guest till you have
smoked a pipe under his roof. After
that you are his sacred charge. Such Is
the hospitality imposed by the Koran.
Then candies were handed around on
curieusly wrought trays of silver, and we
all fall to chatting again. The ladies of
the household were not SO shy at first.
One beautiful girl-Zalve, the daughter
OF our host-sat in a graceful attitude on
the divan and chatted in an amused way
with my companion, who acted as inter-
prefer, casting occasional glances OF curl
osity at the visltors-two Americans u
a G~erman-aud was evidently interested
in the dress of our little party.
This Turkish demoiselle was robed In
a long, flowing house-gown of silk that
reached below her knees. A jaunty,
tasseled fez of crimson plush sat on her
dark hair, and in her left hand she held
the unfailing narghileh, or water-pipe,
which she had been smoking as we en-
tered. Ali the talk was of the festivities
attending the visit of Emperor Wilhelm,
in which the ladies evidently took quite
as much interest as the men. The girl
was about fifteen, although she was as
we'll developed as an American miss OF
eighteen.
On the street the Ottoman dame is less
distinctly Oriental in appearance than at
home amid her servants, and were it not
for the eyer-present yashmak and the
many-hued ribbons and trimmings, she
might pass in a crowd of Europeans
without attracting much attention. In
deed, the higher class of Turkish ladies
dress quite a la Parisienne. French
shoes, a handsome Partisan parasol and a
long silk cloak gathered about the Shout
der and reaching to the feet, entirely
concealing the dress beneath, complete
the costume. The white veil sWathes the
face and neck and serves the double pur-
pose of a modest concealment and a cool
neckerchicf. It is only fair to say, how
ever, that the yashmak is gradually be-
coming more and more transparent, and
that every lineament can easily be traced
through its gossamer folds. So light a
face covering does not impose any re.
straint on conversation or breathing, and
in the dusty and unwholesome streets of
Constantinople is a positive benefit,
keeping the dirt from the lungs.
Among the wives of the poorer class
of Turkish citizens the yashmak is even
more of a make believe. 1t become sim
ply a meager square of muslin or some
gauzy stuff, generally white or grayish,
and is the merest shadow of its %predeces-

many folds, entirely obscuring the whole
face, with the exception of the eyes. The
head-dress is usually white, and covers the

The news that cholera has broken out
in central Persia and is spreading east
ward and northward in that country,
docs not justify anything like panic, but
it docs suggest to the Hartford Courant
the wisdom OF timely precautions. "The
trouble is that it won't scare the right
people, or won't scare them in the right
way. A general thorough clearing up in
all towns, tho suppression of air-poison-
ling nuisances of oil kinds, and the adop-

There has been a great change for the
better in Constantinople, says a CORE.
spondent of the Chicago Mevs. Not many
years ago the streets were the worst Of
any ancient city in the world. 1t was ex-'
ceedingly difficult to navigate a carriage
through their tortuous windings and
among the army of impudent sidewalk
vendors, who claimed the right to block
ade traffic pretty much as they pleased.
With a donkey and a good guide you
might possibly have got through with
som delay; but on horseback, or afoot
unattended, such a thing was out of the
question. Even the pashas had their foot
men to run ahead and clear the way for
them through the fezzcd and turbaned
population. And then there were many
curious and purely Oriental sights to be
seen that are rare now. On the street you
would run across a cobbler mending the
shoes Of the pilgrims while the latter
waited humbly by; while over yonder
might be seen a procession of long-robed,
