VIII Divide Turkey.

The London Daily News OF Mouday
prints a dispatch from Vienna which as
serts that news has been received there
iroIn Constautinople and Sebastopol
which agrees that Russia has a fleet X.
ing at Sebastopol and at Odessa. and
that the Caucasian armies of Russia are
being concented upon the Armenian
frontiers in readiness to move next
spring to realize the plans of Peter the
Great for the partition of Turkey between
the powers, Russia taking Armenia and
Constantinople, France taking SYRIA and
Palestine, and England taking Egypt
and the eastern shores of the Persian
gulf, the remainder Of the Turkish
empire to be divided among the other
powers.
The Daily News also has a dispatch
from Sebastopol which records that Sc
cret preparations are going forward there
OF shipping and of ornaments for a lolun-
teer fleet. 1t is the general belief there,
that these preparations foreshadow some
action in the spring.

1t is show by the official statistics that
in given 900 of the people of Massa-
chusetts there are now more individuals
possessed of moderate and fairsized es-
tates than ever before, and that the aver
age size of such estates is more than
double what it was sixty years ago. This
is relatively true as to the whole country.
In spite of all the loose talk about the
rich growing richer and the poor grow
ing poorer, the fact is that the poor are
accumulating property faster, in proper
ton and in the aggregate, than the rich.

Henry I. Spoerry gives Q little in
cident of his experience as q pedler in
the times when the money system Of
these United States was different from
what it is now-very different. It was
in Michigan; he stopped at . farmers
place for the night, and while there the
farmer, who wa school treasurer for his
district, ana who had been called upon
by the teacher for her pay, desired to
make payment in funds that would
surely be good. Mr.. Spoerry was the
only one who had lately been in the city
and had provided himself with money
that was known to be all right at the
time, and he took the treasureris money,
800, on Q guess o estimate q to its
actual worth, paying ST for the same.
The writer remembers those times, %
tho anne truths we're illustrated in
Ohio. Every man in business was q
subscriber for q Bank Detector, which
was issued at stated times, and gave the
changes that had recently occurred With
the banks, whether bursted, or at what
discount their notes were to be taken
(none were at . premiuml and it took q
vide-avake merchant to keep mp just
this line OF information. II you had q
30 bill at supper-time, you had no
assurance that it would b worth q
dollar ct breakfast-tima. We want no
uncertainty on the money business, and
thereeoEs no e3pegimeuts.
