AT THE BosPHORus.
No Suit an Could Stop Farragut from Go.
ing to Constantinople.

The refusal of the Sultan to allow the
Bancroft to sail up to Constantinople is
not an unprecedented occurrence, and It
is strange that Minister Terrell did not
remind the Turkish government Of for
mer experience it had with an American
ship of war.
In October, 1858, Admiral Farragut
visited Constantinople. He was in the
old franklin, ffty-gun ship. now en-
ployed as receiving ship at Norfolk, and
in reply to his application for permits
sion to enter the Bosphorus with her, he
met with a prompt refusal. He was told
that the treaty of Paris expressly provid-
ed that foreign vessels Of war should not
enter that sea. Instead of anquiescing
as the Bancroft appears to have done in
the like case, the hero of Mobile pro-
tested. and informed the Grand Vizier
that it was his purpose to anchor his
flagship off the city off Constantinople.
The Turks were shocked, and council
of foreign AMBASSADORS, representing the
nations which had been parties TO the
treaty of Paris. was called to rebuke the
impud0nt American.
Neither Farragut nor our Minister to
Constantinople, f. Joy Morris, scared
worth a cent" Farragut declared that
in the Biographies he had studied it was
nowhere stated that the Creator had be-
slowed on Turkey exclusive dominion
over the arm of the sea which divided
Europe from Asia. E. Joy Morris re-
minded the Divan that the Nevski a
Russian ffty-gun frigate had been al
lowed to sail up to the city. To this
last argument Sultan Abdul Aziz replied
that the Nevski was commanded by a
prince of tine blood, which made all the
difference. To this Farragut retorted
that he commanded 700 sailors who were
al princes of the blood in the United
States, and he emphasized his purpose
BIZ lowering his royal masts and all his
upper spars. This done, ne politely ill.,
formed the port warden that ne proposed
to do himself the pleasure of calling, in
bis flagship, on the following morning.
The visit was duly paid. and the Sultan
informed Mr.. Morris that SO far as he
was concerned the admiral was welcome !;
that it was two of the foreign am bag
sailors who had objected.

NOW. HERE WAS A SCHEME.
Honest Farmer Sells a40O Pounds of IA,
and 200 Pounds of Man at IS Ton.
Bangor Daily News.)

On Monday the startling discovery was
made that human beings were being
sold in Bangor at SO much pound, q
low price, too. It Ia done secretly, OF
course, else the authorities would put a
quick stop to the business. This is the
method:
On Monday man who lives a few
miles out on saltwater avenue brought
a load of hay to Bangor and sold it to
a resident of the city. The load weighed
$500 pounds, and the price was So ton.
After the load had been weighed, the
honest farmer drove up Broad street on
his way TO deliver it, and when a little
way up the street, and out of sight Of
the purchaser, something happened that
attracted the attention of somea men
on the sidewalk. There was strange
upheaval in the depths of the mounsi-
nous heap Of hay, and presently man g
arm appeared. Then came the rest of
the man. He had lent the weight of
his influence, or the influence of his
weight, to make the sale of that hay a
profitable transaction for the honest
farmer. He had been sold at So ton, OF
two flfths OF cent pound. AS a kap0-
leonio scheme Of finance, 1t beat 16 to l
out of sight.
The man in the hay weighed about
200 pounds and thus at S. a ton, he was
sold for so cents. At last accounts the
purchaser of the hay didn't know that
he was buying human ballast but sever
al other people did, and soon the news
was spread all along Broad street.

OBITUARY.
William f. MOODY.

William b. Moody was born in Kenne-
bunkport. February 81, 1924 educated in
the puhlic schools and at Gorham and
Bridgton academies. Compelled by the
death OF his father, Silas Moody, to fore
go further academic study, after brief
service in the Saco post office, at the
age OF ~, be succeeded him ill business
hers. For nearly 40 years he continued
in this trade, and in addition had large
iy shared in local insurance, realty and
notary business. Since 1880 he has de-
voted his timeSontireIy to these and 9th
er important financial interests At the
time of his decease he was director of
the Ocean National Bank and the K. &
K-port railroad. Nearly all tine Iespon-
sible town offices have from time to time
been under his care, and he served the
government as postmaster, deputy COL
lector in '64 and 'e5, and assistant asses
sor of internal revenue in 1870 to 1879.
Politically a Wing and Republican, he
has been active in managing town and
county affairs and was member of the
Maine Senate in 1S7s-79 In the many
minor associations, for the convenience
and safety of the community, he lent
important, though often unobtrusive aid.
Mr.. Moody was always interested in ed
ucational progress and his influence in
this and other lines of improvement
was cast for what he believed to be the
higher welfare of his native town. On
business and pleasure he has travelled
extensively in the United States and
elsewhere, and has recently returned
from abroad. 1t gave him pleasure to
review his travels in an illustrated. leo
ture on a trip to Cuba, which was deliv-
cred on several occasions for the enter
| rainment of the citizens and for the ben
eft Of local societies. He had for many
years been a correspondent of the Port
| land PRESS and the Boston Advertiser
and local publications have often owed
to him items of historical and general
interest. He was parish clerk of the
South Congregational church and did
more for it's advancement than any other
man. He was interested in temperance
and reform societies, being a charter
member of the Good Templars organized
in Kennebunkport so many yeara ago.

HARNESS WORTH FORTUNES.
Magnificent Specimens of the Workers
Art.

II have, not once, but many times,
known thousands of pounds to be
spent on single set of harness. and l
may tell you that at least two orders
given in London-for a great part of the
drst class harness for the whole world IL
made in England-in respect of the ooro-
nation of the Gar of Russia, came to
quite 92, 900 each," said the manager of
one OF the most fashionable harness
makers in England.
Before speaking of thess, however, /
should say to you that there are few ar
ticles which admit of more luxurious
mounting than harness, and from e10O
to $500 Is by no means an uncommon
price to pay for any sort of ceremonial
harness, where many sets are required.
But there are several historical sets of
harness which cost ten or more thou
sands of pounds the set. The former
sum was paid for the harness of the first
Napoleon, and that of Napoleon III,
which remember well, included in the
making no fewer than 40 dozen moroc-
co skins. besides magnificent gold work
of every description. l have heard OF
small parts of this harness being sold at
all sorts OF places, and year two
ago was offered a portion, with gold
work upon it for a few pounds. Lord
Lonsdale-who has whips, historically
interesting and magnifioently mounted.
alone to the value of some thousands OF
pounds-bought this same piece. But
could go on for long time telling you Of
magnificent harness. l call to mind one
specimen given by a Russian to a
French actress which had precious stones
as we'll as gold work upon it.
"Quite recently tina Khedive of Egypt
placed go, 900 order for harness in Lon
don, chased gold buckles and gold en-
broidered pad cloths being features in
this. but, to my knowledge, both the
late Maharajah Dhuleep Singh and the
present Gaekwar of Baroda have paid
much larger sums for similar articles
made here.
