A Blind Tiger Hunt.

Some negroes have been running a
blind tiger on tho Mississippi river,
near Australia, Bolivar county. When
Deputy Sheriff W. j. Wooten went to
arrest them recently he caught two, but
the third resisted and opened fire on the
deputy who was guarding the boat to
keep the negro from escaping by tho
river. Deputy Wooten got six sticks of
dynamite, and, tying together, threw
the bunch on tho boat, the explosion
tearing one end OF it off. The negro
finally tried to escape in skiil. The
deputy began firing at him, and he
jumped overheard and was drowned.
Tho other two negroes are now in Jail.
In tho last two years over 200 men have
been convicted in Bolivar county for
selling whisky without a license.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
A Jail Delivery ut Holly Springs.

There was Jail delivery at Holly
Springs by which seven negro prisoners
made their escape. They are still at
large. One of them was under twenty
year sentence to the penitentiary, re-
ceived at the late term of the Circuit
Court for assault and battery. The iron
cage containing the prisoners, which
consists Of two tiers Of cells, is in the
center OF a large room with walls OF
brick and clear space OF several feet
running between the walls and the cage.
Each tier of cells opens upon grated.
corridor, and the doors of the coils are
secured by lever worked from outside
of the cage, which is in turn secured,
with the door OF tho corridor, by one
lock. The negro assistant Of the jatler
neglected to push the lock through
both the door and the lever fastenings.
and escape from the cage was easy. An
old piece Of q shackle served as tool
with which to dig through the wall and
gain the prisoners their liberty. There
were three other negro prisoners in this
I tier of cells, whose prospects for short
terms Of Imprisonment rendered escape
unnecessary, and they did not leave.
They and the prisoners in the tier above
claim to havo been asleep, and not to
know at what hour the escape was made

THE SULTAN OF TURKEY.
Ex-Minister Terrell Pays Tribute to Hi
Charm of Manner.

Ex-Minister Terrell Pays Tribute to His
Charm of Manner.
Hon. A. w. Terrell, formerly United
States minister at Constantinople, con.
tributes IAN Interview With the Sui.
tan" to The Century. Mr. Terrell says:
The sultan Is over so years old. Of
medium height. with clear olive COM
plexion. dark hair. high forehead and
large dark brown eyes. The habitual
expression of his face is one of extreme
sadness. Though the pashas who attend
his palace when ministers or embassa.
doris are entertained are decorated with
regal splendor, he always appears in
plain garb. wearing red fez, a frock
coat and trousers of dark blue stuff and
patent leather shoes. A broad service
sword with steel scabbard, which he
holds sheathed in his hand, completes
the costume. Sometimes single decora.
ton is worn on his breast. When he is
seen thus plainly attired in the throne.
room Of his palace. on the first day Of
the feast of Bairam, seated ON an otto.
man covered with cloth of gold, to re-
ceive the congratulations of his civil
and military chiefs, who are all radiant
in uniforms and decorations, the con.
trast is very striking. No Christians
but those of the diplomatic corps ever
witness this impressive ceremony, which
is conducted with the order that distin-
guishes military review, but with an
oriental servility that an American finds
it difficult to understand. On such occa-
sions Osman Pasha stands at the sui
tan's left, holding cloth of gold scarf,
which all reverently kiss after salutins
their ruler.
No sovereign in Europe is more court.
ly or refined in entertaining his guests,
and few can be more agreeable in con-
versation. In his personal intercourse
with foreign representatives he is alike
free from that stilted dignity which re-
pels confidence and from that absence Of
real dignity which invites familiarity.
When first dined at the palace, the
sultan sat at the head of the table, with
Mrs. Terrell at his right and myself at
his left. Osman Pasha, Ismael Pasha,
the former khedive of Egypt, the grand
viZier and other ministers of state were
the other guests.
Nothing could excel the excellence Of
the cuisine of which he partook with
his guests. the table service and decora-
lions. the magnificence of the dining
room or the excellence of his wines,
which always remain untasted except
by Christian guests. Each pasha wore
the insignia Of his rank. blazing with
stars and decorations, while the plain
costume Of the sultan was alone in har.
mony with my own. No armed men
stood guard at the palace doors, and ex.
cept q detail from the imperial guard,
who always salute a foreign representa-.
tive on his arrival, no soldiers have ever
been seen by me within the palace walls
on any Of the occasions when I have
dined there.
