THE ARNIENIANS.

Rev. J. w. Lynch talked of Turkey
and Turks" to a very large congregation
Yesterday morning, many persons being
turned away for lack of standing room.
The speaker drew striking lessons from
the present condition Of affairs in the
Ottoman empire, where thousands of
Christians are suffering death and de-
privation at the hands OF the Mohamme-
dams. The Armenians are Christian
people, educated, enlightened and pro-
gressive. They, with the Greeks and
Jews are scattered throughout the Turk
ish empire to the number of two millions
or more. They are the bankers, business
and professional men of the domain.
The Turk is lazy and shiftless. His
lands and herds are mortgaged to the
Christians, and be has made up his mind
that if the Armenians can be extermi-
mated, he will not only rid the empire Of
religious rivals, hut all OF their property
will be confscated and liens dissolved.
Mr.. Lynch dwelt at length upon the char
acteristics Of the Turk and history of the
empire. lie does not believe there is
much relief for the suffering Christians
The other nations OF the world, animated
by selfish greed, are jealous of each other,
and are afraid TO begin the parceling out
of Turkey, for fear that one viii get more
than the other. In addition to this, there
is an apprehension that in case of inter-
ference by outside powers, the Sultan
will arouse a religious war among the
millions Of his fanatical subjects and
order an immediate massacre in his king
dom, the results of which are frightful to
contemplate. Mr.. Lynch concluded his
talk with stirring appeal to his hearers,
unhampered by hindrance or persecution,
to stand up boldly for Christ.-Danville
Advocate.

LACE MADE FROM TREE BARK

Trees of wonderful size and growth
have been seen at the Department Of
Agriculture at Washington, DC, but new
er before have the authorities succeeded in
securing such a wonder as the 'lace-
bark tree" which was recently brought
from Jamaica. The inner bark OF the tree
is composed of many layers of fine and
intricately woven fibeis, which interlock
with each other in all directions.
Caps, ruffles, and even complete suits
of this curious vegetable lace have been
made. 1t bears washing with common
laundry soap, and when bleached in the
sun acquires degree of whiteness seldom
excelled by artificial laces made OF cotton,
linen and silk. The intricate web of this
unique dark makes it compare favorably
to the last mentioned productions for both
beauty and durability.-Ex.

Louisville Tobacco Market.

By Glover & Durrett Louisville Tobacco
Ware House.
Sales on our market for the week Just
closed amount to 3.I7I hhds with receipts
tor the same period 1881 hhds. Sales on
our market since January list amount to
IA. 8S3 hhds. Sales OF the crop of 1891
on our market to this date amount to
l67,465 hhds.
Our market this week has displayed in
creased activity for new hurley tobacco
and the offerings this week included
2,2s5 hhd4 of new crop, have been taken
at prices as rule, above the expectations
of sellers, especially Is this true OF the
good TO fine grades of Leaf which seldom
nave been higher at this time of year.
The recent sales of the market included
one hid. of colory, leaiy, new hurley al
$22 per hundred; one hid. at S2I.so; one
at Sr9.5o and numerous sales from SIS to
$40, and one crop sold at an average OF
Sis round from the ground up. The gen.
eral character OF the crop-is thin and de
cidedly lacking in rich fllery qualities, and
the prepondeTence OF low grades OF fingy
color on sale, is likely to concea! the real
activity and strength OF the market for all
grades than can be classed as good OF
better than medium. The very common
grades OF high color are row taken at
values decidedly above those heretofore
obtainabIe for the new crop.
With this week, the sales adjourn until
after tue HOLIDAYS, beginning again on
January I'd. There is every reason to
believe that the market will then open in
good form Tor the sellers new crop, and
it is to the Louisville maket that they
must look Tor the supply of tobacco IN
winter order. Here the condition of lib
eral supply and unequalled demand meet
and each factor is an element OF nourish-
ment 10 the other

PIG-FEEDING EXPERIMENT.

At the Kansas station in the comparison
of wheat, corn and red Kaffir corn as a
fattening food for hogs, the wheat proved
the most effective, followed closely by
corn; red Kaffir corn, Thoughts good feed,
dill not prove equal in fattening qualities
to either Of the others. Equal parts of
cOrnmeal and wheat were found to be a
better food for pigs than either grain fed
separately.
COttonseed meal, as usual. proved
poisonous to pigs, even though fed in
small quantities, and a post norton
showed severe Inflammation and con-
gestion Of the intestines, lungs aud heart.
There is no possibility of doubling that
cOttonseed and its products are deadly
food for hogs, though perfectly harmless
for other animals. Investigations in this
direction would be very interesting and
instructive, and might lead to the dis
covery Of some mode of treatment which,
while preserving the nutritive qualities
of this food, might destroy or counteract
its noxiOus element.

A WEDDING THAT WAS A BLAZE
OFsPLENDOR AND COsTslOO,OOO.


St. Louis has just had a we'd
ding of vast dimensions. Miss
Clara Hazel Busch, daughter Of
Adolphus Busch, brewer, member Of the
great Anhauser- Busch firm. and Paul
Won Gontard, head OF big iron foundry
in Westphalia, Germany, were married
in the Church of the Messiah. It was
one Of the most sumptous weddings ever
recorded in this land.
The Church Of the Messiah is an inn
mense edifice, but all its vast interior was
hidden under thousands and thousands
of dollars worth of white roses, lilies of
the valley and hyacinths, the whole pro
ducing an effect of dazzling whiteness.
An entire floor of the Southern Hotel,
where the reception took pace after the
wedding, had beenre painted, redecorated.
regilded and refurnished and new carpets
and furniture Of special design for the
wedding guests, who had come from Eu-
rope at the invitation and the expense Of
the brides parents. The affair must have
cost over 100000.
The brides dress was made IN Paris. 1t
was of the Empire style, with a full skirt,
falling in a single box pleat in front, and
a court train falling from the shoulders,
of satin, brOcaded in large bride roses,
which display an inner lining of white
| IL; e., e,,o,,oloJ N sil,-ar Tho hotfor,
of the skirt was embellished by a deep
| fiounce of the finest duchesse lace. The
waist was cut away from the shoulders,
and had a wide rabat of duchesse lace
and a large butterfly back and front, in
crusted with pearls The sleeves were
simply formed of a double puff OF the
satin and were met by long white gloves.
There were over one hundred carriages
in waiting to carry the bridal party and
the guests to the Southern Hotel, where
supper was served. Rugs and draperies
had been so arranged that this part of the
hotel was completely separated from the
public halls. The parlor in which the
couple held the reception was draped
in white Touraine silk, and the walls and
ceiling were covered with white flowers.
Thirty rooms had been refurnished for
the wedding guests. There were two
pink rooms, a Turkish room, a Persian
room, a japanese, a Chinese, an Indian
and many other styles of rooms. The
western corridor, through which the
guests passed to congratulate the couple,
had been decorated in Oriental style.
Costly Turkish and Persian rugs carpeted
the floor. Heavy inlsid chairs, settees
and cabinets were lined along the walls,
while overhead hung spears and shields
and many curious Eastern weapons.
One room had been set aside for the
wedding cake. Here, under a great heart
of white carnations that hung from the
chandelier, stood a heart-shaped table
upon which rested a wonderful wedding
cake. 1t, too, was heart shaped, and was
so cut that the guests could pick up little
rt-shaped pieces and tuck them into
heart shaped boxes that had been distrib-
uted among them.
The floral decorations of the church
and of the hotel are said to have cost
$4,000.
The couple will spend the Christmas
holidays in St. Louis and will sail fol
Europe on Jan. I.
