qualities OF ROSalind than any other performance

achieved. To give the fine points OF the character
would simply require that should 80 over every

Daniel ano the Eastern Question.

but according to Lieutenant c. A. l.. Totten, the
book of Daniel tells just exactly what will be the
outcome of the present difficulty. The lieutenant IS
always picturesque in his calculations OF Biblical
prophecy but he has never been more SO than in this
matter After expressing his surprise at the bind
ness of the pulpit and the press he proceeds to show
that Canea was bockaded by the Powers 1,26o years
after the Mahometans captured Jerusalem Now,
multiply 26o by 2 and you get $500 years. This
brings us back to 623 B. c., which the year
when Babylon rose as the Head of Cold Does
the reader ask what is the significance Of all this
He is easily answered The prophet Daniel declares
that the period Of the Gentes was to be
times of 800 years EACH or $50 years altogether.
So, evidently, something must happen this year:
Indeed, the Greeks are firmly convinced that some
thing has already happened.
But the lieutenant goes into further particulars.
On April 18th and 18th the first great battle between
the Turks and Greeks took place. Was this date
accidenta? Certainly not April 18th the
Jewish Passover and the Christian Easter. This
discovery is doubtless important, but are sorry
thatits significance not explained by Mr.. Totten.
What specially does battle on Easter Day indicate?
Does Daniel throw any light the question:? These
matters in regard to which the public, it to
us, ought to be enlightened. But the lieutenant is
clear enough when he comes to his main conclusion
81 believe, he says, that the time of the Turk is
drawing to close. Jerusalem shall be trodden

Every man of sensibility must realize
that this unwarranted excitement con-

promoted by unwholesome journalistic
agencies, having an eye single only to

capital seeking investment over timid;
il destroys faith in the truth when il is
set forth in the press; it discredits all
mining news and saps what little re-

the reliability of newspaper reports.

ONE ON HIM.
An Order That He Had Neglected
to Obey.

Il had a queer experience with
g-ripman on a Mount Auburn cable car
this morning. said a Fifth-street cigar
dealer TO a Cincinnati Tribune man.
You know there is a sign in the car
which reads. Don't put your feet on
the seats or something to that effect.
Probably they were afraid that you
would scratch your shoes on the rough
seats. Anyhow, the signs there.
''On the car there was but one other
passenger, evidently a friend of the
gripman. He was sitting in the seat
right next to the official, and the two
enjoyed long and animated discussion
concerning the system of transfers soon
to go into operation over the new ex-
tension of the Oak-street line. In a
careless way j had placed my foot up
on the seat, or rather my toe was
against the edge. but in no danger OF
harming the woodwork The gripman
reached over and in an authoritative
tone said:
..'Yous must take yer feet off the
seats. See the sign? Thems our ord
ers from headquarters and we must
obey them
lis that so?' said I. Do you obey
all the orders that are given out?'
'Sure,' said he.
" What's that order up there? said I.
which, said he
That one that says, Don't talk to
the gripman' You have been talking
to your friend for fifteen minutes and
never once told him TO stop talking TO

He looked dazed for half minute
and then said:
