An Oriental Scene.

Orientals reverence old age. A beauti-
full scene in Turkish court, described by
Dr. Hamlin in his book my Life and
Times, shows how much superior judge
in the orient is to judge in the occident in
showing respect to the aged.
An Armenian in his eighty-frst year
was compelled to visit Constantinople as a
witness. When called to the witness
stand, he came forward with his abundant
white hair curling on his shoulders and
his beard white as the driven snow The
Turkish judge looked at the self possessed
man and said:
my father, how old are you?'
THY servant is past &c." he replied
Bring chair for that old gentleman, -
said the judge to servant
'tOh, no, your honor! Thy servant is
able to stand. -
No witness of your age and venerable
ness shall stand in my presence to give his
testimony"
The old gentleman had to sit down,
which he did, bowing with dignity to the
judge, and gave his testimony modestly
and clearly.

CAPE ELIZABETH.

4 A fair and festival was held at vestry
hall, Pleasantdale, on Friday and Satur-
day evenings of last week in aid of the
Wells Library. The hall was very taste
fully trimmed with bunting and Chinese
lanterns, and with tables loaded with
fancy articles presented very pretty and
attractive appearance. One table was
devoted to artificial, and one to natural
flowers. gypsy tent stood in one corner
of the hall inside of which sat queen
of gipsies telling fortunes for old and
young. AT a rustic well stood comely
lass dispensing lemonade while others
no less fair sold CONNECTIONS of all kinds,
peanuts, &c. Topsy the chile that
never was born," sold bananas from a
basket followed by brack niger boy,
as Mascot and cashier, while young
fellow in a neat suit of peanut sacking,
sold peanuts for "nickeled cup" Ice
cream and cake were served by corps OF
efficient young ladies to the satisfaction
of all. A spot of gold" amused the
young and added no small amount to
the finances. The fair was well attend

weather and consequent bad condition

aid in it's behalf. The RECEIPTS over all

How Grant Came to write memoirs,

At the age Of SO General Grant found it
necessary to begin the battle of life over
again He determined then to write his
memoirs. His attention had been turned
in this direction for some time, through
the suggestions Of his friends and especial
ly through the example Of General Sher-
man. Following the failure of Grant &
Ward he received offers from different pub
fishers of such character as to indicate to
him that he might with his pen still be
able to build up competency for his fam
lily. His first contribution to literature
had been published in December, 1882 in
The North American Review. This article
was entitled IAN Undeserved Stigma"
and was a defense of General Fitz John
Porter. AS a means of raising immediate
money he first turned his mind to the
preparation of four articles for The Cen
fury Magazine. Magazine.

which is monument to his pe-

were building it some bystanders
ventured the remark that the cell

his utter contempt for the opinion of the
critic he told the builders to make it two
feet higher between floors, and then he
went home and taking chair down from

BOSTON. June H.-Thers were wild and

called to protest against the yelled
charges preferred by Professor Zelicko-
vitz, in his paper, ThefJewish Eagle,
against the officers Of the Sh eltering
Home.
Professor Zelickovitz, In recent issues of
his paper, strongly limited that the books
of the institution were not reliable, and
that all expenditures were not satisfac-
torily accounted for.
The professor, although he has only
been In this country six months, has
many friends among his countrymen. He
was the interpreter for the party that
undertook to rescue General Gordon at
Khartoum, aud served in the same
capacity for Henry M. Stanley In Africa.
He was challenged by the accused off,
GERS to appear at the meeting and prove
his charges. He appeared, as did several
hundred of his sympathizers. Their
opponents were about equal In numberA
President Slupsky of the home was the
first speaker. He made remarks uncom-
plimentary to the editor. Immediately y
there was an uproar. and harmony was q
missing factor the remainder of the even
ing. The president was obliged to give
mp the floor, and Secretary Barofsky
undertook to speak. He charged Pro-
fessor zeleckovitz with bringing q crowd
Of buns to create disorder. This caused
q fusilade of groans and shouts of de-
rision, and the bluecoats could not restore
order for over half an hour.
An Excitinr etruxrls
When the noise subsidized, the chairman
ordered the officers to clear the hall of all
disorderly persons The professor
mounted the platform to defend himself.
One section wanted him to speak In He
brew, the cha irman said he would allow
only English. The dispute grew exciting,
and the crowd made u rush for the plat
form. The Professor and Secretary Bar
ofsky clinched, and after struggle were
separated. Policemens' clubs and canes
were brought into play. Furniture was
smashed to kindling wood, and the grand
square piano was badly used In the melee.
The police sent for re- endorsements, and
one section of the crowd m ade q rush to
extinguish the lights. The hall was al
most In darkness when the opposing party
came to the rescue and interfered. The
riot prevailed for 90 minutes, and the
meeting broke up amid dsafening wells
and the derisive cheeringsof the opposing
forces.
