revolt by ssditlous placnrds. which were stuck
on tho doors OF tho American school, These
placards were written in the Turkish lam
ruaCe. Thoy were inflammatory and %treason-
able, and declared that It was necessary. for
the people to shake of the yoke OF slavery laid
on them by the tyrannical Sultan. Mr.. New
berry also found that bombs charged with
dynamit had been seized by the authorities.
AS there were doubtless many innocent per-
sons among the 900 who were arrested on tho
charge OF having been concerned In the con:
spiracy. Mr.. Newberry induced. the Grand

Reason for PoIiteness.

The supposed English lack of grace
in discourse and in the Establishments of
social intercourse is a matter of con-
tinual amusement to the French. They
have a theory that if an Englishman
shows himself gracious it is because he
has some personal end to serve-which,
moreover, he is prouder of serving than
he is of being gracious.
1t is related in French paper that
M. Prudhomme, while travelling by
rail, fell in with an Englishman who
talked steadily with him in French for
an hour and half.
When they parted the Frenchman
said:
II am very happy to have had this
opportunity to exchange my impress
sions with an affable gentleman such
rs you--the moro 30 from the fact that,
as general thing, your countrymen
arc not at all communicative.
"Owl" said the Englishman, in very
bad French. 81 only talked, you know.
