Charley at price named by the abductors,
although the means were placed at his dis
posal, gave evidence of the full strength
of his character. The great sacrifice in
yolved in this refusal made it possible for
parents 10 he secure in the possession of
their children and served to strike deat tn
blow at the business of trading upon the
love OF parents by such villains as removed
the child His noble action in placing the
public good above a fathers love should be
remembered with more than gratitude by
his fellow citizens.

WESTERN SENATOR'S PLEASED.
They Made Wool Duties Satisfacto tory
to the Growers.

According to statements frequently made
by Senators, Mr.. Quay usually gets what
he wants in the august body of which he
is u member, but the Pennsylvania failed
TO obtain the duties on low-grade woods,
for which the carpet manufacturers of his
State so anixously longed.
The Senators from the far West cannot
therefore help chuckling today over their
victory in compelling the managers Of the
bill to make the duties satisfactory to
the woolgrowers and not the manufac-
turers.

received q grand imperial ovation. For
few days she has occupied the stage to the
exclusion of the other actors, and the

as a good woman and as an executive
honestly devoted to constitutional gov

Of her people. Americans have done their
share Of the shouting; even TnoIe than

Elections ON the Camel.
The London News correspondent with
the Sudan expedition sent the following
reflections on the camel: y:
The camel, be it at once said, is an
overrated beast. There is great deal Of
him, but be is not for his SIZE nearly so
strong as the useful, unpretentious dom
key. Then, too. his anatomy il so
strangely conceived. His legs are at
tached to his great, unwieldy carcass
with seemingly 50 little consideration
for the uses to W hich (merely viewed as
legs) he might BIZ expected to put them,
and his neck and tail are SO obviously
disproportionate to the rest of him, and
both so useless, that the camel is some
how incomplete, or, owing to some mis-
take, was never finished OF at ali.
Even the qualities be possesses tend
to strengthen ore in this bewildering
suspicion. Tor instance, he can kick
himself violently in tbe-let us say the
front of tie back-w it'll his fore leg. He
does it constantly. Time and again have

Then he can gnaw his own tail-his

REFORMING THE TURK.
Omcial correspondence of England

Omcial Correspondence of England
and Turkey.
LONDON, Jan. 21.-Oficial CORE
spondence between Great Britain and
Russia, published here today, shows
that the Marquis of Salisbury on Oc-
tober goth proposed that the Embassa-
doris at Constantinople should formu-
late reforms to be enforced by the pow
ers. NJ. Schischkine, the then Acting
Russian Minister for Foreign Affairs,
replied on November 18th, saying that
the Gar had decided that it was i'm
possible to agree to coercive measures
against the Sultan. But on November
25In, there was a further communica-
ton to the effect that the Car had
agreed to the Marquis of Salisbury's
proposal and would not object to ad--
wise the Russian ambassador relative
to coercion should the Sultan prove
recalcitrant and refuse to adopt the
reforms unanimously recommended by
the ambassadors.
At the end of December France con-
sented to the proposals of the Marquis
of Salisbury, to which Germany, Aus
tria and Italy had previously agreed.
