The German emperor and empress have
been busy of late unpaoking and arranging
the innumerable and magnificent gifts pre-
sented to them by the sultan. A correspon-
dent of the Berlin court writes that those of
the emperor included a splendid sword,
valued at not less than $4,000. The blade
is an old Damascus one, of remarkable
beauty, being engraved with sentences from
the Koran. The hilt is studded with emer-
aids and diamonds. There are also whole
carloads of the finest Turkish cigarettes,
which were especially made for his majesty,
and quantity of smoking necessaries, of
which may be mentioned ohebook of amber,
covered with precious stones, and tobacco
casket with the sultan's. initials in Turkish.
The presents of the empress include pair
of agraffes, composed of the most superb
diamonds, from which hang strings of pearls
and diamonds, which can be formed into a
collar. The value of this gift alone Is said
to be $125, 900. Her majesty has also received
quantity of costly silks, fine Oriental car
pets, fans. shawls. embroidered slippers and
other articles too numerous to mention.
Perhaps, however, the most graceful act OF
the sultan has been to send her majesty q
portrait of her consort, painted especially
for the sultan by an italian master, which
was hung with great tact in her majesty's
parlor at Yildiz Kiosk. Finally, his majesty
has sent the emperor, empress and Prince
Henry of Prussia each a magnificent horee oi
pure Syrian breed.

Judging from some of the reports that
have recently been sent out 1t might be
thought that the farmers of New Hampshire
are in very bad way, so far as making
money is concerned. The secretary of the
State board of agriculture felt it his duty to
try to find out If farming was profitable in
New Hampshire. He discovered that 1t was
not. If the owner of farm hired any labor
he generally came out of his years operations
In debt. If he and his boys worked the
farm and his wife and daughters made butter
and cheese and did the housework he. man-
aged to meet expenses, but received nothing
for the use Of his land, stock and buildings.
The showing was so bad that he concluded
to search for some rural industry In the State
that did pay. After spending considerable
time and money he found it-found 1t in the
summer boarder. He addressed q circular
letter to the board of selectmen In every
town in the State asking them to furnish
him with list of hotels, boarding houses
and farm residences at which boarders were
accommodated during the summer, the ex-
tent of their patronage, and the money re-
ceived for purohasable hospitality. The re-
turns are not all in even from the most pop
ulous portions of the State and there are
several back counties to hear from. But
the showing of the partial reports is ex-
cellsnt. At the lowest estimate more than
twenty Thousand boarders we're accommo-
dated during large part of the summer and
early fall months at prices varying all the
way from "a per week to So per day. It Is
calculated that the aggregate board bill
amounts to fully $s.000.o0O. These boarder,
also paid out large sums to guides and fol
the uss of boats, fishing tackle, horses and
| carriages.

THOUGHT HE WAS SHOT.
A whiskey Bottle in q Pr0hibltion1st'f
Pocket Causes Alarm.

[From the Portland Oregonian.l
A young man, intent upon patching up an
old hen coop from which several of his choic-
est fowls had mysteriously disappeared, en-
tered one of the large hardware stores on
Frent street, several days ago, for the pur-
pose of investing two bits in some nails. He
had scarcely crossed the threshold of the
store when one of the men, engaged in car-
rying some heavy steel rods, dropped his
load behind him.
The crash of the rods falling to the floor
sounded go much like the sharp report of 6
pistol that the young man jumped to one
side, as if to escape the bullet of a second
discharge, should another follow. As ht
did so his private pocket in the leeward side
of his pants came against counter will
carefully concealed therein was smashed.
The contents, being freed, naturally rar
down the leg of his trousers, and as thu
| bottle had absorbed considerable warmth
| from being carried so close to his person, it

fluid.

struck by bullet. II am shotl an

fumes, however, were against him, and he
soon realized his mistake. As he was Z
dved. in -the-wool prohibitionists he grew
fnrious when asked how the bottle camt
there. He insisted that he was the victim
Of a practical joke, and that the bottle wa
placed in his pocket by some villainous gin
min keeper. The sally of laughter tha
greeted this explanation go grated upon hi

CRImE NOT RELIGION.


The decision of the Supreme court in the
Idaho test oath case is crushing blow to the
Mormon church. Parts of the opinion are
truly refreshing. For instance: It is as
sumed by counsel of the petitioner that, be-
cause no mode of worship can be established
or religious tenets enforced in this country,
therefore any form of worship may be fol-
lowed and any tenets, however destructive of
society, may be held and advocated, If as
serted to be a part of the religious doctrines
of those advocating and practicing them.
But nothing is further from the truth.
Crime is not the less odious because sane
toned by what any particular sect may des-
ignate as religion. ~
This Is sound doctrine. The Mormons
will make very serious mistake if they re-
jeot it. Having fought the legislature and
judiciary power OF the nation ever since the
first law against polygamy was passed by
Congress in 1862, they will be unwise to
throw away the results of their colonization
and their Industrial advantages by further
conflict which can do them no honor or benz
eft. and may prove their ruin as class OF
people. It took the people of this country q
long time to wake up to the necessity of &C.
tion against Mormonism, but they are wide
awake enough now. The Mormons will show
wisdom by recognizing that fact

Take thick Scottish eopse, dripping with
rain; imagine this copse to be a mere under
growth, nourished under the impenetrable
shade of ancient trees, ranging from one
hundred to one hundred and eighty feet high;
briers and thorns abundant; lazy creeks,
meandering through the depths of the jun
gle, and sometimes deep afluent of a great
river. Imagine this forest and jungle in all
stages of decay and growth-old trees fall
ing, leaning perilously over, fallen PROSTATE;
ants and insects of all kinds, sizes and col
ors murmuring around; monkeys and Chin
psnzees above, queer noises of birds and an-
imals, crashes in the jungle as troops of ele-
plants rush away; dwarfs with poisoned ar
rows securely hidden behind tree buttress
or in some dark recess; strong, broad bodied
aborigines with terribly sharp spears, stand
ing poised, still as dead stumps; rain patter-
ing down on you every other day in the
year; an impure atmosphere, with it's dread
consequences, fever and dysentery; gloom
throughout the day and darkness almost pal
pabls throughaut the night, and then If you
will imagine such forest extending the en-
tire distance from Plymouth to Peterhead,
you will have a fair idea of come of the in
conveniences endured by US from June % to
December 8, 1887, and from June 1, 1888, to
the present date, to continue again from the
present date till about December 10, 1883,
when hope then to say last farewell to
the Congo forest.
