KMtA(iKJ) TURKS. l>nn?rroti* Condition ol" All.iir* in Hnlyiiriu. The Rustchuk correspondent of the Loudon Timet writes an follows : " The twenty odd thousand troops of this garrison are the perfection of soldiers. They are brown, open-faced, big-sliouldero.l follows, perfectly resigned to any fate Alhih may have for them, with perfect faith in the bankrupt government, for thCciiief of which they shout and salmuu every evening at sunset. The disorderly Moslem element is i:: n st^ite of great ! fury with the Bulgan .... . id foreigners j generally. Tiie Christians are frigiitcuocl . to death lest some imprudent member of their faith should provide the spark "which might light up such a glare as would throw Ratak into the shade completely. Even the consuls have to be careful for their lives. Proofs of the extreme and dangerous tension of the relations between Moslem and non-Mos- i lein could be given without end. Mr. | Richard Roade, the English and Ameri- . can consul here, who lias never been ] accused throughout the. late troubles of j being in any way prejudiced against the j Turks, but who has been suspected of j leaning the other way, thinks that mat- ! tors are as serious as they can be, and : his urgent warnings are ignored both at I Downing street and Constantinople. It: is believed by some here that Russian influence, in the form of money, is art- j fully planning a dreadful outbreak, and j that those are 110 friends to the* Turk ' who do not insist upon a stop being put j t > irregularities the firm repression j <?f which would give satisfaction j t:? decent Mohammedans aud non- j Mussulmans alike-" The corre- j smmdent explains an incident re- j c?:it!y reported from Constantinople j about flic British consul striking a Turk- j ish officer. It seems this correspondent j with one companion crossed in a email [ boat from Giurgevo and was arrested by i Turkish naval officers. They were i seriously threatened by a Moslem mob. ' The consul came to the rescue and push- | cd the captain out of his way when the ' l itter tried to stop him. Thecorrespon- j dent thinks that the consul's vigorous j measures alone prevented them being ; thrown into the- Danube by the mob. A Curious Prophecy. Just before the defeat of Mr. Greeley | for the Presidency, several gentlemen j were cougregated on a piazza at New- ; port, R. I., says the New Bedford (Mass.) Mcrcurj/. Among them was ; Chief Justice Chase. Another was one i of the first conversationalists in the world. The latter repeated not nu j anecdote, but a prophecy, which had [ been muds by a hermit in Bavaria many j yours before; and this prophecy was not J only delivered, but printed by a number | of the Allycm' inc // it?ny of about 1857. j The Austro-Prussian war was correctly predicted, as well as the France-Prussian war and the taking of Paris. Now for j the future. In 187G 7 the pope is to die, which will cause a general European ; war. X'-xl, France and Prussia are to j hive uuother eonllict. Frnuee will be I defeated and Paris taken for the second j time. There will be a partition of France. The Iberian powers (Spain and Portugal) are to have a large share, as a'so Italy. Belgium gets the northern part. Hoi- j hind is ceded to Prussia. All that will remain of France will be the old " lie do i Franco," of which Paris is the capital, j These results having been obtained, there will be a general acknowledgment of the folly and futility of excessive i armaments. AU the powers will agree ; to disarm. Swords will be beaten into plowshares. t'i i 1 . f ... lOfi? ! J.IIC U'JnillL fc lUi lOUU ?iJU 1870 were fulfilled. It scorns as tliongh the rest might hi-. The pope is in bad health. The chunces of u general war growing out of the Euatern question are excellent. Shou'd France think the moment favorable to attack Prussia, and be defeated, the conqueror would show 110 mercy. Franco would be rendered harmless, and her territory divided. The pirtifion of republican France is the dream of the Prussian "Junker party." The general reduction of armies is less probable. II is easier to change the nfiip i of Europe than human nature. A Murderer Guillotined. Billior, the man why killed hi3 mis- | tress, cut her body into pieces, and threw the;n into the Seine, was guillotined on i the lirmd Point of the Hue de la 1 Boquette, Paris, 'lhousands of people ; must have been anxious to witness the execution. According to the observance in such cases, however, the authorities kept the date of the event strictly secret, and only those who were adventurous enough to remain on the famous place all night, in the hope of seeing some- I thing at daybreak, were privileged with j the melancholy satisfaction of witness- i iug tlio horrible sight. liilloir to the | last was confident that his long service ! in the army would have influenced the j mirshal. On his last afterxoou the : prisoner ate his dinner quietly and with a good appetite, and in the evening | played a few games at cards with the j keeper who remained iu his cell. At , one o'clock in the morning the fatal truth was made known to the convict by his companion at cards, whom the murderer regarde.l at all times with special disfavor.

Onco a year, or oftcner, usually in November, an exploration ir made of tlie interior df the New York aqueduct from end ti> end, by Mr. Benjamin S. Church, the resident engineer, who for over j twenty years has been in charge of this ! part of the work. The water is shut off at the Croton daiu, and the aqueduct is emptied by the waste wiers which I have described. Many strange and exciting adventures befall the men detailed for this service ; and though but one life 1ms ever bceu lost, large parties have been in imminent danger. The manholes having been opened previously, the laborers under charge of Mr. Church, dressed in rough suits, enter the aqueduct at the dam, and travel downward either afoot or in an ingenious car propelled by a crank like the hand cars used on a railway. The effect is wierd and awe-inspiring. Some of the men carry torches, whose smoke and wavering blaze curl and flash in the darkness ami throw fantastic shadows :ind reflections on the moist walls. The voices reverberate like peals of thuuder, and seem to awake responsive vibrations in the massive stone and brick work itself. In some conditions of the atmosphere, laborers repairing the masonry live miles below can be distinctly heard by those at the entrance, and at all times the human voice pitched in an ordinary key can be heard at a distance of two or three miles, in, long low rumbles. A broad halo of light frames the men in, aud beliiud this there is an impenetrable blackness, so dense that an inexperienced person takes every step with extreme caution. There are few greater promoters of terror than the power of darkness, and the simple, superstitious Irishmen descending the ladder at the entrance leave sunshine, sky and fields above in no cheerful mood. The short clay pipes are allowed to go out and few words are spoken. It is a business to be done with as soon as possible. Thousands of tons of water are pressing against the gates at the entrance, and should a bar give way, or an order be misunderstood, the flood would rush down upon the unfortunates and engnlf them with irresistible force. Once, in fact, an order was misunderstood, and twenty men narrowly escaped with their lives. Mr. Church, with this number of laborc; s entered the aqueduct to make some repairs, and instructed the keeper at the dam to let the water flow in again at eleven p. m. The party were making some repairs at a point some distance below the entrance at eleven a. m. when Mr. Chnrch noticed a gradual rise in the water. Afraid of causing a panic, ho did not say anything to his men, but urged them 011 in the hope that the work might ba completed that morning. The water continued to rise, however, first submerging their feet, and then creeping up toward their knees with terrible stealth and certainty. The situation was that of a shipwrecked crew cast upon a rock which is being slowly covered by an incoming tide. The engineer now realized the t'adt that his order hail been misunderstood, and that the water had been turned on at the wrong time, and would soon be within a few inches of the roof of the aqueduct. By this time the men were in a highly nervous condition, and Mr. Church had to use his authority in preventing them from making a confused retreat for the nearest exit, which was some distance away. Meanwhile the water lmd made its way above their knees and was rushing through the aqueduct with a velocity of two miles and a quarter per hour. It wasjio easy work walking against such a current as this, and the progress made toward the man-hole was unavoidably slow. The torches were successively put out by the splash until only one remained, and that threw a /litn v*>11 n w imeertnin flicker on f!i? (1 irk surrounding*. There was one danger which Mr. Churcli foresaw and was particularly anxious to avert. If the men were not kept under control, each would make a disorderly struggle to reach the ladder at the man-hole, and a delay would result that might prove fatal. As the water increased in depth the greater, of course, became their terror, and when the gray light of the opening camc into view their bodies were submerged to their waists, wli le the current almost lifted them off their feet. By reasoning with them and encouraging them, however, Mr. Church allayed their fears and they gained the ladder, and ascended it, one by one, in safety.? Scribncr's Magazine. None Like Him. At the Detroit and Milwaukee depot as a lady was about to get aboard the down train, she said to the man who was loaded down with her parcels: % " A o\v, while I'm gone you must take up and beat nil the carpets and lay them agaiu." " Of course," lie replied. "And polish all the windows, rub off the furniture and repaint the front steps." "Twill, dear." "And you must rake off the yard, make some flower-beds, fix the alley fence and black all the stoves before you pack them away." " Of course, darling," he smiled. "And you must send me $20 per week, write to me daily, aud the neighbors will watch to see if you are out after eight o'clock in the evening. Now, then, good bye." " Oil ! darling, how can I spare you !" lie sighed, the engine groaned, and away she went, and as lie turned to go out his mental distress was so great that he fell over a trunk,barked his shins and rubbed half the skin off his nose.?Detroit Free /Vaw.

There is no other way by which friend 1 ship may be ho completely crushed oul of existence, an by coldness of manner hard words are no competitors at all, foi they are so often satisfactorily explained It is frequently said that "likebegetf i like," and we believe that is often so, ! If we meet with an acquaintance whe : grasps our hand cordially, and gives it r j generous and hearty shake, and tliei] j countenance lights up with a cheerfu smile as they utter a pleasant and wel 1 come salutation, if we are feeling dul ' and moody, we are, or at least should a* : once be, ashamed of that feeling, ain instantly put forth our energies to difv j guise and banish it.

The mill having been dismantled and the ma- a' cliinery all taken away the owners Pc thought they were getting a good price for tne rotten lumber, and probably laughed in their sleeves at Mr. Gray's greenness. The purchaser immediately Ql put some men to work at the south end n of the mill, taking up the flues and sluices, and came upon the hole in the ground where the waste had been allowed to run when the mill was in operation. This hole had been made at this ! Be place because a tunnel was known to M* pass within a few feet, and the refuse, hi being in a liquid state, would flow off j through the tunnel. The flumes had no Ls sooner been removed than the presence Cc of quicksilver was made apparent. F1 flint.

We arc not a race of Titans. ; n A Prometheus might stand chained to the tortur- c ing rock with a vulture perpetually gnawing hia liver, and hi.; face ever wear an expression of heroic and even meek endurance. Put Promo- ; theus has left no descendant*. With vnlturcH (disease) consuming his liver, the modern man makes himself and every one around him miserable, l'retful, gloomy, hypochondriacal, he sees the world and life nil on the wrong side i ?the dark side?and whoever dares to aseert | that there is a sunny mug. ue regards as mi enemy, or at the best a mocker of his imaginary woes.

Chicago, May jj, 1871. ?inre the recent use of your "Cocoaine," my previously bald head has been covered by a luxuriant growth of hair. I had always esteemed your preparation as a dressing, knowing many persons who regarded it very highly a^ such, but never before knew how valuable it was as a restorative. J. C. LEWIS. LOSS OF HAIR. Bancor, March 3,1868. Your " Cocoaine" is the only dressing for the hair used in my family for the Inst eight years. It not only stopped my wife's hair from coming out, but increased its growth. Iam also under obligations to thissame " Cocoaine " for saving my own hair, which was very fast coming out previous to using this valuable preparation. J. C. MITCHELL. IRRITATION OF THE SCALP. ?
