Constantinople Notes.

| CoNsTANTINOPLE, Nov. 3.-When d
newly arrived resident starts out to
make her return visits to those who
| call upon her, she takes a sedan chair,
which is carried slung upon poles
which are placed across the shoulders of
two stout Armenian porters. For the
first moment or two the movement is
very trying to unaccustomed nerves, but
after while the springy motion appears
pleasant. They go along at a jog trot
over the rough stones which makes it a
hard jaunt for your man servant to
keep up with, for it is de rigueur that you
have man servant along. He sits in
the hall while you visit up stairs, for
nobody" lives ON the ground floor.
You get your tiny cup of coffee and
your spoonful of preserves, and admire
your hostess children, and then make
your adieus and go somewhere else, and
so on until all your visits are paid, after
which you can attend to the business of
your household, which is not an easy en-
terprise, as you can get no women serv-
ants who speak English or any other
CIVILIZED language. Your man servant
is kept for the purpose of opening the
front door, helping the peddlers cheat
you, ordering the other sci ants about,
buying your wood and charcoal, and
seeing that the halls are kept clean, and
following you whenever you go out.
Your moral standing would fall very
quickly if you were ever seen on the
street without the presence of that man
walking humbly behind. But he is al
ways more or less of inguist, as are
nearly all the men in Constantinople,
and that makes him indispensable. Be-
sides he knows everything about every
body, and who Madame" should cult
vate and who she should avoid, and de-
velops such wealth of information as
to everybody's present life and antece-
dents as to insDire a wholesome fear.

Australia Has Produced Few Better Scull-
ers Than Neil 1IattersOn.
Australia, the birthplace and cradle of
great oarsmen, has given to the world few
better men with the SOULS than handsome
and plucky Neil Matterson, whose picture
appears herewith. BE was born at Kemp
sey, n. S. W., June 6, 1864. An inch added TO
his height would make him a six footer,
and his professional weight is 152 pounds.
His initial public appearance was at the
Grafton regatta in 1882, but the victory
that first gave him world wide prominence
was when he defeated Peter Kemp for
81 900 side on the Nepean river Oct IS,
1884. Kemp gave up the fight after rowing
one mile. In May, 1885, Matterson defeat
ed c. Messenger for 81 900 a side over the
Paramatts river championship course.
On Dec. 10 Matterson lowered his colors
to w. Black in great race for the worlds
championship and $1,000 over the same
course. He went to England in February,
1856, and was beaten by George Perkins on
the Thames course May 81 for $1,000, the
Sportsman cup and the championship OF
England. He turned the tables on Perkins
Aug. 16 in a match for s., 600. A fortnight
later he bested Wallace Ross, but was beat
en- by John Teemer. On Sept. 10, George
Lee worsted him. He then returned to
Australia and was beaten by Peter Kemp
for $1,000 q side and the Tennyson cup,

About Laura Holloway.

BROOKLYN, Nov. 27.-Mrs. Laura Hol
loway is one of the best known women
writers of Brooklyn.
She has written the life of Chinese
Gordon, Adelaide Nelson and Charlotte
! Bronte, and is under contract with the
Lathrops, of Boston, to prepare history
of Tennessee for their series, THE Story
of the States"
Three or four years ago a book was
published in London entitled "Man; the
Fragments of Forgotten History" 1t
was said to have been written by two
Chelas of the Theosophical society, and
purported to be the embodiment of in
struction given by a great Hindoo
teacher to two pupils, the one from the
Old, the other from the New World.
The work attracted much attention in
Europe and America, but for quite a
while the names of the authors were not
divulged.
Knowing Mrs. Holloway's love for oc-
cult study her friends often asked her
opinion of the book, and it was from
her evident reluctance to give it, coupled
with sly pleasure IN getting everybody
else to express criticism. which first
aroused the suspicion and led to the dis
covery that she was one of the joint au-
thors, in fact the western Chela.
Miss Mary Humphrey is from Georgia
She lives in the Sloan apartment house
on Broadway. She writes for various
newspapers and periodicals. She has a
project for building a hotel for literary
women where the appointments shall be
first class and the prices reasonable.

General Meade, to whose skill and yaloi
belongs the credit of victory of the battle
of Gettysburg, seldom receives his dues
or that great event, and yet in spite of
orators who forget TO give honor where
honor is due, as the hero of Gettysburg,
Meade towers far above his competitors.
Let the old soldier have his proper place on
the scroll of glory.
Warden Durston, of the Auburn, N. Y,
Prison, where Kemmler was put to death
by electricity on last Wednesday, believes
that the method is better than hanging and
much more humane. He critCses some of
the newspaper accounts of the experiment,
and wants the public to wait until he
makes his report before the Judgement.
There is certain to be a very lively and
pretty general controversy over this matter,
and 1t is important that every fact shall be
impartially stated. Whether electricity is
to be the means of putting murderers to
death in the future, or whether we are to
continue hanging when we do any thing
will be largely determined by the drift of
popular sentiment.
The fact that there is a great store of
iron ore, coal, marble and other undeyelop.
ed wealth in the Southern States is unde-
niable. The mineral resources of that re-
giOn, as we'll as its agricultural and manu-
featuring capabilities, will in good time
make IL as popuious and prosperous as any
part of the Union. But not all the land
in the South is filled with mineral wealth
nor is it all fit for profitable tllage. The
great speculations in the iron and coal pro-
dueing regions have made il possible to
set on foot many wildcat operations, In
Yestors might, therefore, do well to go slow.
The insane speculations which followed
the discovery Of oil are likely 10 be Gupl-
Gated by equally hare-brained risks In the

A COUNTRY newspaper, says the Ashland
Record, is not run for the benefit of
promiscuous Office seekers any more than
it is for the benefit of business men. If
one of the latter desire to appropriate its
influence to his own use he unhesitatingly
pays for the service rendered. He asks no
faYors and expects none. 1t is not so with
a large class of office seekers. They spend
hundreds of dollars in campaigning, but
not one cent of It is rendered the party
paper whose columns are sought from time
to time to sound their many virtues into
the public ear. If they have had their
card published in the paper announcing
their candidacy and paid for it Ia rare cir
cumstance with many of theml, il is re-
garded as an equivalent for all future ser
vice and the everlasting gratitude of the
publisher.

THE RUSH for public place continues.
Carbon county has thirty to forty candi-
dates for eight or ten offices; Lenigh county
has fifty to sixty willing patriots for eight
or ten places, and in Luzerne county the
number is so great that the Democrats are
fighting among themselves for the spoils
This rash rush for political honors is not
encouraging to the general welfare of party
and bad results will follow, as natural re-
suit of the bitter feeling engendered by the
fierce contest
