soon sent for the ambassador to present himself at the palace and explain, if he could, why the bird had no fight in him. lgnatieH went, and in the presence of the sultan examined the bird, and with of course, immense astonishment snd regret, acknowledged that it was quite unable to cope with his msjesty's superior game cocks. A conference followed on the snb- ject of gaulecocks in general and this one in particular, and when the diplomatist had succeeded in drawing the sultan into 6 conversational mood, he adroitly intro duced the political matter he had SO long awaited sn opportunity to bring before his majesty. Ignatief returned to his embas- sy triumphant over his colleagues, who were left out in the cold.
 This reference to the late Sultan Abdul Aziz recalls an amusing incident, with which I will close these ff-hand recollec- tions. During grand council' of min isters at the Sublime Porte, and in the midst of the discussion on subject of vi- tai importance a mounted messenger from the palace arrived, bearing an imperial or der to the grand viyier to wait upon his majesty without an instant's delay The council broke up and the grand vizier pro ceeded to the palace in hot haste. There he was informed that the sultan WAS in the garden impantiently awaiting his ar ElNluS- As he entered ne saw hls majesty standing with few attendants intentiy watching fight between two gamecocks. The grand vizier, following inc custom of all Turkish subjects when approaching the august presence, stopped at a respectful distance and commenced the series of ss- laams with downcast eyes and shrinking attitude appropriate to the occasion.
 ''Never mind that now" exclaimed his majesty excitedly, "but come here diaect- ly. Look-see-what did tell youF Did not say that Acme-pointing to one of the cocks-would whip Asssm! Look, be is doing it!'
 And this was what, and all, the sultan had to communicate to his grand vizier

THE POPE ON DUELLING.

In response to requests from the arch bishops of Prague and Cologne and the bishops of Austro-H Hungary, the Pope has something to say about duelling, and his remarks are in strong contrast to those of the fresh young German emperor on the same subject. Especially worthy of atten- tion is that part of the Pope's epistle in which he gays: It is no just excuse for those who accept challenges to say that they have done so from fear of being branded towards in case they refuse to take their places on the so-called "field of honor." If the duties of mankind were to be regulated by false public opinions and not by the eternal law of the right and the good, there would be no real differ ence between eccentric actions and criminal deeds. Even the savants of the heathens have said that brave and honest men should disregard the soph- istries of the masses. The feeling which leads men to abhor murder and be mind full of the welfare of their fellows is holy and commendable. He who disregards senseless public opinion, who exposes him. self to the jeers of the masses rather than be sntrue to his duty, possesses a higher and loftier mind than he who, melted by some insult, reaches at once for weapons. Properly speaking, the former man shows true bravery, that bravery. I say, which is rightly ooilvd ---:-.---, ~.Ad which ia fol lowed by no false or uudeserved glory. Virtue, it must be remembered, consists of the good, governed by reason, and glory is vain which is not upheld by Gods ap- 1aroual

We have hitherto refrained from taking any part in the discussion concerning city
 advertising. Last evening the Board of of November the advertising be done in two of the daily papers, and the JOURNAL AND COURIER was very properly selected as one of the two. But we do not think that the advertising should be restricted to two papers. It is very plain to us that the readers of all the daily papers should be given chance to see the city adver- tisements. The argument for publishing them in one or two papers is equally good for publishing them in all. The object in publishing them is to give the taxpayers and all interested the information con- tained in them. That object can best be accomplished by using all the daily papers. The small and reasonable ex- pense should not be complained of. The city of New Haven is paying little for it's advertising in comparison with many other cities, in some of which even the reports of the doings of the court of common council are paid for.
 We regard the matter as one which needs little or no discussion. It is per fectly plain that the citizens should be as well served as possible by the city adver Using. If it is published in all the daily papers nobody can fairly find any fault. If it is published in one or two, even though the one or two may reach large majority of those interested, there is ground for fault-fnding.

A Russian Diplomat.

 Many anecdotes of General Ignatieffs cunning and diplomacy were current in Constantinople. am not sure that did not have the following from his own lips: The late sultan, Abdul Aziz, if not abso- lutely mad, was sufficiently eccentric to cause constant irritation, not only to his ministers, but to the foreign ambassadors. At one time he refused absolutely to grant an audience to any of the members of the diplomatic body, and this at time when many of them, including the Russian am bassador, were waiting anxiously for in terviews. Ignatief ascertained that, un. der the plea of official occupation, the sul. tar was spending the greater part of his time in cock-fghting, an amusement which he greatly relished. He further ascer tained that his imperial majesty was ir want of fresh birds to supply the places of those killed in fight. Thereupon Igns tieff procured a fine-looking white fowl o

"VPNnTHS".

We have long been told that charity covers multitude of sins, and it is becon- ing very evident that hypnotism can be made to cover much. Farmer Kimble of Rising Sun, Maryland, has been hypno- tized. He fell in with some very agreeable fellows, and by some means that he cannot explain he was hypnotized by them. He has no knowledge of anything that hap pened for the space of two hours, during which time he went to the bank and ob- tained $2,800 in cash, and the agreeable fellows drove off with the same. The off giving him draft for the money instead of the cash, but he seemed in hurry and somewhat excited, and would have noth- ing but cash. He offers $2,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the parties.
 Some of the minimizing will smile at Farmer Kimble. We do not Who has not been hypnotizeds Many man in this practical community can open his safe and curities'' which he has been hypnotized into buying. Many man in New Haven is wondering greatly how he could have been hypnotized into solemnly agreeing in the presence of minister of the gospel, to feed and clothe for life a being who, now that her hypnotic power is broken, seems different. And many woman is wonder ! ing why she thought it worth her while to hypnotize the man whom she gave the sweet privilege of buying her things. Dis | appointed politicians are berating them
