To find Sapolio.

When we were side by side,
It's match could not be bought for gold
In all the world SO wide.
Our home was bright and fair. Mary,
You kept it so for aye,
And yet had time to spare, Mary;
Would you were there to-day.
You made the work but play, Mary;
All women might do so,
And all should know the charm you say
Lies in Sapolio.
But now l sit and weep, Mary,
Nor fear to break your rest,
For l laid you, darling, down to sleep,
With your baby on your breast
The graves are not few, Mary,
Hard work brings many low;
1t was not so with you, Mary,
You used Sapolio.

London, March 3t.-The Daily Telegraph
will tomorrow publish a dispatch from
Moosh, via Kars, dated March 81. This
says that only the weather prevents the
commission Of inquiry into the Armenian
outrages from inspecting the ruined viii
lagos and pits that characterize more
eloquentIy than living witnesses, the
nameless horrors committed by the sui
tan's troops. The only unsoived ques-
ton is where the orders for these atroci-
ties emanated. An important telegram
forwarded in August last. giving con-
elusive evidence on this point, has van
ished, but its existence Is known to sew
eral persons, and 1t may yet be possible
to ascertain its contents.
The Daily Telegraph will say editorially
that there Is an overwhelming mass of
evidence that leaves no doubt that Sas-
SCUM was a mere fraction of vast plan
to exterminate the Armenians. Shakair
Pasha's plan, conceived four years ago
for the defense of the empire was the
creation of a Kurdish cavalry force to de-
fend the eastern provinces against the
Russian Cossacks, also the removal of all
Christians in the frontier provinces. The
Telegraph says there are now 1900 Ar
menian refugees In Russia. 1t adduces
intercepted letters and other alleged facts
as indicating that the Ottoman govern
ment conceived and partly executed the
plan of melting the Kurds.
The Telegraph also has a dispatch from
Bitlis. via Kars. which narrates the tor
lures inflicted by the Turkish soldiers.
Some of the victims were forced to
stand for from twenty-four to forty
eight hours in sentry box bristling with
sharp iron spikes. and their flesh was torn
wit hot pincers.
On March 25 three foreign consuls at
Erezepum made representations TO the
governor general concerning the wound
ing of tailor by an artillery officer and
asked that an official inquiry be made.
This the governor general angrily re-
fused, saying that Turkey and the Ar
menians were like husband aud wife,
whatever might be the latter's treat
ment by the former it was no business Of
foreigners and Turkey would brook no
interference. This reply circulated like
wildfre and fears Of an impending mas
sacre were revived.

shadow OF a doubt. Since the surrender
at Sedan, the country has not been in such
delirium OF joy. The Empress Frederick,
