man Pasha," said the report. 1t was
found that Osman Pasha had been pas
senger on that vessel, and so many e)ab-
crate and eulogistic accounts of him ap-
peared in the papers. He may now have
the pleasure of reading them in the flesh,
for he is alive and well. 1t was another
man of the same name and less repute who
found a watery grave.
The real Osman, whose picture is given
herewith, was one of the great warriors of
the Turkish empire. He won his first
honors in the Crimean war when he was
but % years old. In the Turko-Servian
war he rose to the rank of field marshal,
and in the war with Russia he command
ed the largest and most effective army of
the Turks. His plans, and brilliant exc
cution of them, and his general schemes of
army and civil reform since, have led
many English critics to believe that he
might even yet restore Turkish prestige.
He, indeed, has a reputation to last, but
his unfortunate namesake succeeded, by
going to the bottom of the sea, only in De-

The Needs of Agriculture.

The census Just taken shows that the
cities have gained at the expense of the
country. Commenting on this fact The
Washington Post remarks that of course
'some Of the country young men who
reach the cities achieve success, but their
number is not sufficient to swell a census
return. That effect is produced, so far as
the cities are concerned, by the great army
of those who year by year take their place
in the ranks of competition, and soon find
themselves, in the prime of life. barely
able to make living, and with no better
prospect ahead. The time must soon come
when this continuous influx into our cities
of young men from the country will be
generally regarded as a misfortune. The
operations of agriculture are at the founda-
ton of ell our prosperity as a people.
With the single exception of bad and I'M
just economic conditions, the circumstan-
ces of the American farmer are especially
favorable.
1.-The methods of a varied and profitable
cultivation of the soil are daily becoming
better understood, and inventive genius
has made available for farm work many
labor saving machines that relieve it of
much of its drudgery. There is, indeed,
much to show that agriculture is arriving
at a new epoch in its history. But the new
conditions will need new men. The more
varied the cultivation and the more nu-
merous the mechanical appliances EN-
ployed, the more will intelligence and en-
terprise be required in the management of
the field and farm. 1t is greatly to be
hoped that our we'll educated and active
Young men who from childhood are IA
miliar with the processes of farm life, will
see their opportunity in these changed and
changing conditions"

ously on the desk, while his fellows grlnned

A Fashion Killed br a Tax.

Fashion sometimes gets a deathblow
from government. This was the case with
hair powder, in common use by English
men just before the beginning of the pres
ent century. Mr.. Pitt carried through
parliament a measure imposing a tax on
all persons using hair powder. He esti-
mated that this impost would bring TO the
revenue f2l0,000 annually. Instead it
caused the demise of the custom. The few
who paid the tax were termed guinea pigs,
because of the sum charged each person.

Three persons across the water have
lately risen, blazeu and fallen. The public
has been amazed and then had its laugh at
them-there was such a marvellous margin
between what they threatened and what
they actually did. They are Duleep Singh,
who was going TO upset the British empire
in India; Duchesse Dues, who raised
the cash for Boulanger to upset France,
and NJ. Terrail-Mermeix, who upset Bou-
langism. Mistaken identity alone is re-
sponsible for the cphemeral fame attach
ing to fourth object Of recent notoriety.
He bore the name OF OsnRn Pasha, and
when he was drowned the ether day the
world jumped to the conclusion that he
was the Osman who enjoyed brief but
high repute years ago by holding Plevna
against the Russians. But be wasn't.
OF those mentioned the first occupies
rather ridiculous position. Duleep Singh
is the heir by descent of the great Sikh,
ruler of India, one of those fierce warriors
who divided the country among them after
the overthrow Ct the Moguls. The Great
Mogul," Aurungzebe, ruled 200, 900, 900 peo-
pie for forty-nine years, being contempt
rary with Oliver Cromwell and the five
English monarchs who followed him; but
the English now control all his terrific
ries, and dole out a monthly pension to
his heir" Well, Runjeet Singh, the war
rior, thought himself entitled by conquest
to all the lands of Aurungzebe, and Duleep
Singh claims to be Runjeet's heir
In his infancy his chance of regaining
the royal inheritance was about as good
as the present baby king of Spain has of
regaining all Spanish America; SO the lit
tie fellow was taken TO England, educated
as country gentleman and granted an
estate which afforded him a fairly good
