TURKISH EMPIRE.
!
lu Growth, and Ita Rosomrces'nnd Ability ]
'or Further Conflict.
It is worth while to trace the successive
strokes.by which the Turkish empire has
been curtailed siuce the acme of its
. greatness under Solymau and his son,
Selim II., in the sixteenth century. Let
us hear in mind that at the latter epoch,
besides all his present dominions?except
Crete?the sultan controlled the
whole of Hungary, a large part of
Poland, all the southern provinces of
ttussia skirting the Black Sea, together
with Austrian Croatia, the so-called
militrtrv frontiers nrwl irwlpnpnrlfmt
Sorvia 011 the west and Russian Georgia
i >11 the east. The first sign of decadence :
in the aggressive power of Turkey were
the double defeats of Solyman before
Vienna in 1529 and 1532, nnd his repented
repulses by the Hungarians at the
fortress of Sziget, one of which cost the
sultan his life. The uext blow was
siru?b at Lepanto in 1571, where the
Turkish fleets lost the prestige and
dominance which, since the downfall of
Rhodes they had maintained throughout
the Mediterranean. About a century
later, nnaer the impulse of a remarkable
family of statesmen, the Ottoman
armies umtertook to renew aggressive
movements, but they were routed before
Vienna by the heroic Pole, John Sobeiski.
In the subsequent war against
Austria, whose troons were commanded
by the famous Generals Prince Eugene
find Louis of Baden, the Turkish
strength on the middle Panube wus
destroyed. With the loss of fortresses
in this quarter, the hope of Ottoman
aggrandizement north of the river seems
to have been abandoned, and at the
peace of Carlowitz, in 1699, Mustapha
II. surrendered nearly all his Hungarian
possessions to Austria, Azov to Peter
the Great, Podolia and the Ukaine to
Poland, and the Morea to Venice. No
terms which at the present juncture
Russia could hope to 6ee ratified by the
^nrmwm nntrors mil 1 rl nnsm'hl v an
proach in severity tlie conditions of the
peace of Carlowitz.
During the whole of the last century
Turkey was at war, now with Russia,
now with Austria. Notwithstanding
Home partial successes, such as the reconquest
of Morea in 1715, the general
result of this long contest was disastrous
to the Ottoman sovereign. He
lost, for instance, the Crimea and all his
outlying possessions north of the Black
sea, and by the treaty concluded with
Russia at Jassy, in 1792, the Dneister
was made the frontier between the two
empires. The present century has witnessed
a series of rebellions usually followed
by the concession of partial independence
to provincial governors.
Thus, in 1805, Servia rose under the
leadership of Czerny George, and subsequently
achieved a notable measure of
self-government. The insurrection of
Ali Pasha at Janina in 1822 was crushed,
but the Greek revolution which followed
was successful. We should remark,
however, that it was not until the Turkish
Egyptian fleet had been destroyed
at Navarino, and the Russian armies,
under Diebitsh, had crossed the BalkanB
and arrived at Adrianople, that the
porte would acknowledge the independence
of Greece.
Three years after the treaty of Adrianople,
namely, in 1832, began the perilous
contest of the sultan with his too-,
powerful vassal, Mehemet Ali, the I
Viceroy of Egypt. In this struggle
Mahmoud EI. was repeatedly defeated,
and the quarrel was only ended after a .
/ lapse of seven years, and when the loss ,
of the sultan's Asiatic dominions seemed
inevitable, by the direct intervention of
England and her allies in behalf of the i
porte. This action constitutes an epoch
in European diplomacy. The official
admission, in fact, of Turkey into the
political system of Europe dates no
lurtherback than t the treaties of 1840
and 18-41. To the'same principle must
ue rciciiru tuc owcpuuiuc ui uic infcegrity
of Turkey as a cardinal principle
of*international policy on the part of
the western powers. %Thirteen years
after its adoption tlris principle led to
the Crimean war, which resulted in the
discomforture of Russia and the apparent
rehabilitation of the Ottoman
power. But it has been disavowed and
set at naught by '.the attitude of Eng- i
land since Russia's rescission of the
treaty of Paris, and throughout the
present conflict.
It is now five oenturies and a half
f ince the crescent appeared in eastern
Europe. Two centuries remain to be
completed, if the Turks are to exhibit a
tenacity equal to that shown by the
Moslem conquerors in Spain. Whatever
mav be the terms of the Dresent
peace, it is certain that the sultan will
retain in Europe a far more defensible j
position anu more substantial resources
than belonged to the Spanish Moors in
the fourteenth century, relegated to the
kingdom of Granada. Let us remember, j
too, that the Greek emperors, without'
allies, and almost without resources out- '
side the walls of their capital maintain- j
ed themselves for some three hundred
years at Constantinople. Very different
are the means at the command of
the Ottoman ruler. His European
provinces will still equal in area those

little short of those possessed by Mohammed
IL when he undertook the con- j
quest of Stamboul. In Asia he keeps
the whole of the superb inheritance
which Selim, the first Ottoman caliph,
made over in 1520 to Solyman, and
which, for the first time in thehistory of
the dynasty, included Mesopotamia,
Assyria, Syria, and Egypt. Of the conquests
of Solyman and his successors, J
the present monarch still holds Candia, j
Bhodes, Cyprus, the Islands of the
^Egean, the suzerainty of Tripoli and
Tunis, together with Yemen iu the J
south and Armenia in the north, unless,
indeed, the latter country shall be '
claimed bv "Russia or s(v?nritv for th?
payment of the war indemnity. In a
word, notwithstanding the repeated .
mutilations of two centuries, beginning
with the peace which a Russian grand
duke is about to sigu at Adrianople,
Turkey is yet no inconsiderable power.
The resources at the disposal of the i
porte are still superior to those with
which Mohammed II. marched, in 1453,
to the capture of Constantinople.?New
York Sun.
France, Spain and Germany.
The Historiac.h-Politische Blatter
say$ that some excitement has been produced
in Spain by a'proposal which is said
to have been lately made to the Spanish
government from Berlin. The proposal
was that'' inthe event of Spain assisting
Germany in a war against France, the
Spanish government should be allowed
full liberty of action in resrard to Portu
I gal, and also be offered the prospect of
recovering Gibraltar and conquering
Algiers." As a reward to Germany for
her assistance in procuring these important
augmentations of territory,
Spain would give up to her the Philippine
Islands, " which, together with the
Dutch colonies, would form a very desirable
colonial possession." The writer
adds that Prance is striving to bring
libout the financial ruin of Germany by
keeping up an enormous standing army,
and rendering it neoesBary for Germany
to follow her example. Such a strain
| on her resources can be borne by
wealthy France, but must eventually
cripple Germany ; and the writer expresses
his regret that it was not one of
the conditions of peace in 1871 that the
peace establishment of the French army
should be reduced to such a strength as
not to impose 0.7 Germany any exoessive
burdens for the maintenance of an equal
force.?Pall Mall Gazette.

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
Mysteries or the Polar Region*?Expedi- |
tlonn Fitting Oat?A Colony to be Formed.
There is a fascination about explora- j
tious i a unknown lands that makes men l
count as nothing the extremes of heat:
nud old, hunger, thirst, fatigue, and I
dange". The mystery which surrounds
the polar regions, and the success with
which its barriers of ice have guarded
its secrets in the past, are maddening to
the explorer and geographer. The pole !
attract s those who yearn to know the ;
hitherto unknown, in the same manner |
as it attracts the magnetic needle that j
always points toward it; and uotwith- j
standing the large amount of money j
spent and the number of lives hitherto I
lost in Arctic explorations, there are '
now so many expeditions either organized
or organizing for further effort in ,
this direction that it would seem as !
if the secrets of ?he polar regions would i
soon be secret no longer.
In audition to the Howgate expedition,
which has already made a start from our
shores, other nations are hurrying forward
exploring expeditions on a somewhat
similar plan. England is about
to fit two vessels under Captain Nares,
who will operate by the way of the east
coast of Greenland. Sweden, during
the present year, will explore the polal!
11 Ti-i?:? i
regions oy tue way ui o otmiv, |
under the auspices of Professor Nor-1
denskjold. Holland lias determined i
upon one also. Germany, under the
direction of the Arctic Exploring So- i
ciety, lias an Obi expedition, command- i
ed by Captain Wiggins, now on duty, j
Russia, during the coming spring, will
push forward an ethnological expedition,
under the Helsingfors professor, to the
Vogels and Nstyacs, of the Obi and
Irtysh. Besides these expeditions many
eminent explorers and scientific societies
in different countries are busying themselves
in endeavoring to establish stations
at different points in the Arctic
regions, with a view to those systematic :
synchronous observations bo necessary
in making proper progress in the discov- j
eries in meteorological and other kindred j
sciences.
There is little doubt but that many of (
the natural sciences might be much en- j
riched by observations directed especial- j
ly in their directions. Geographical I
discovery has hitherto been the main I
point of the expeditions sent out, and I
while this is no doubt a very important ;
feature, yet there are many others which ;
should receive attention. Usually the j
expeditions have been so conducted as ;
to preclude anything beyond mere loco- J
motion, all appliances for discoveries in J
other directions than that of geographi-1
cal science being left behind.
Under the colony system, or what is j
* "I ? xi I
now known as me Jtiowgate pian, mere t
is no doubt that many interesting (lis- j
coveries in various sciences can be made j
that have hitherto escaped observation ;
under the systems which made locomo- j
j tion in a northerly direction almost the
only thing sought for. At least, this is
the* opinion of many scientists, including
such men as Professor Loomis, of
Yale College, and Professor Henry, of
the Smithsonian. Of the practicability
of the colony scheme as a means of geographical
discovery we may say that it
was brought forward as long ago as 1868,
by Dr. Hayes, the Arctic explorer, who
still believes in it; that it was a favorite
inder.of Captain Hall, who would, no j
doubt, have endeavored to carry it out
had he lived ; and that the survivors of |
the Polaris expedition all indorse it. As i
to discoveries and researches in other I
sciences Professor Henry gives the fol- j
lowing as some that would and should :
be made by such expeditions : Pendulum j
experiments, to better determine the 1
shape of the earth; a greater number and :
more ' continued observations for the j
more perfect elucidation of the magnet- j
ism of the earth ; a series of observations I
on the tides for at least a year; and the !
results of a larger series of observations |
k" min/la rtf fho Or] oh A tVlfin tllORft i
now possessed are necessary for com
pleting our knowledge of that subject. ;
Besides these particular observations,
the professor thinks that the whole field i
of .natural history could be enriched by |
collections in the line of botany, min-j
eralogy, geology, etc., and many facts <
of interest obtained with regard to the I
influence of extreme cold on animal and
vegetable life.
In view of these reasons, and others
which our space forbids us to give, the ;
House committee on naval affairs has j
reported a bill authorizing the formation j
of a colony on the Howgate plan on or j
near the shore of Lady Franklin bay,
near where a seam of coal has been dis- j
covered. Strong substantial buildings

are to oe carnea mere, ana me coiouibus
are to be furnished with provisions and j
other necessaries for three years. The ;
scientists accompanying the expedition, |
who are to be under the direction of the i
National Academy of Sciences, are to be ;
provided with all the necessary appli- ;
anoes for scientific discovery, including I
telephonic lines for maintaining com- I
munications between^uccessive stations, j
and balloons for purposes of observation, i
It is thought that the colonists will \
gradually become acclimated, and by j
training the natives to help them will j
thus be enabled to push forward into !
regions hitherto unknown by taking ad vantage
of such favorable seasons as |
may occur. Whether they will succeed
or not remains to be seen. All that we
can say is that if the secrets of the far
north are to be discovered, this plan
seems more feasible that any before
brought forward.?Scientific American. |
The Hermit of the Rocks.
Coroner Schirmer, of White Plains, I
was called to hold an inquest upon the |
body of James Johnstone, aged about
eighty years, who, while in conversation !
with a baker, in the employ of Mr. !
Mead, fell dead from the chair in which '
he sat. Johnstone was a very eccentric J
man, and well-known in White Plains as i
the " Hermit of the Rocks," and "Jimmy j
of he Rock," the name being given him
from tho fact that he lived for many
years in a large cave among the rocks,
near the village. He became the owner
o! eighteen acres of land surrounding
the cave. For bis bedstead, he dragged
into the cave the body of a box wagon.
He was the owner of a horse, a pig,
several goats, and some dogs, cats, and
chickens, all being occupants^ of the i

Bringing Drowned Bees to Life.
A lady in Providence relates the fol- j
lowing story: "Her father once brought j
! home a molasses hogshead, to be used as :
! a water tank. On washing day her
: mother said: ' Let's throw the suds into j
: it, to soak the molasses from the bot
| torn." The instant she had done so, she |
i exclaimed, ' Oh ! I have drowned hun- i
| dreds of our neighbors' bees.' The hogs- :
head was black with bees that were I
I busily appropriating the Bweets from
1 what they must have considered an enormous
blossom. The good lady made !
haste with her Bkimmer to skim the bees !
from the top of the water, and spread j
them on a board in the sunshine; but
they seemed drowned, and nearly dead,
and she was very Borry.
" The bees that were around the hogs!
head had flown away at the dash of the
water?but in a few moments they returned
accompanied by scores of others,
i Then began a curious work. They immediately
went to work upon the unfortunate
beeB, turning them over and
working on the-n constantly with their
heads, feet and antennae. The result of
of their busy labor was that one after
another gave signs of life, stretched its
limbs and wings, crawled and dried
itself in the sun and flew away. The
lady said there was a half pint at first,
and that there remained only a dozen
hopeleM beyond thr hupinne

How Matches are Made. 11
A match is a small thing. We seldom j
pause to think, after it has performed !
its mission, and we have carelessly !
thrown it away, that it has a history of i c
its owu, and that, like% some more pre- ^
tentious things, its journey from the
forest to the match-Bafe is full of J
changes. , f
, The match of to-day has a story far ! b
more interesting than that of the old- 1 ^
fashioned match. As we have Baid, B
much of the timber used in the manu- i v
factnre comes from the immense tracts j
of forest in the Hudson Bay territory, ! a
It is floated down the water-courses to J /
the lakes, through which it is towed in j t
great log-rafts. These rafts are divided ; j1
some parts are pulled through the
canals, and some by other means are
taken to market When well through
fhe seasoning process, which occupies t
trom one to two years, the pine is cut y
up into blocks twice as long as a match,
and about eight inches wide by two $
inches thick. These blocks are passed i
through a machine which cuts them up I
into "splints," round or square, of just j
the thickness of a match, but twice its j J
length. This machine is capable, bb we > ]
are told, of making about 2,000,000 1f
splints in a day. TliiB number seems i
immense when compared with the most j \
that could be made in the old way?by \ J
hand. The splints are then taken to i*
the "setting" machine, and this rolls j
tnem into bundles about eighteen inches I ?
in diameter, every splint separated from | a
its neighbors by little spaces, so that j t
there may be no sticking together after j
the "dipping." In the operation oft
"setting," a ribbon of coarse stuff;'
about an inch and a half wide, and an ,
eighth of an inch thick, is rolled up, the ! j
splints being laid across the ribbon be- j j
tween each two courses, leaving about a !
quarter of an inch between adjoining 1 c
splints. From the 1' setting " machine I i
the bundles go to the "dipping " room. *
After the ends of the splints have ; *
been pounded down to make them even, I
the bundles are dipped?both ends?
into the molten sulphur and then into
the phosphorus solution, which is spread
over a large iron plate. Next they are
hung in a frame to dry. When dried
they are placed in a machine which, as
it unrolls the ribbon, cuts the sticks in '
two across the middle, thus making two
complete matches of each splint.
The match is made. The towering
pine which listened to the whisper of
the south wind and swayed in the cold
northern blast, has been so divided that,
we can take it bit by bit and lightly j
twirl it between two fingers. But what '
it has lost in size it has gained in use.
The little flame it carries, and which ,
looks so harmless, flashing into brief ex- j
istence, has a latent power more terri- ;
ble than the whirlwind which perhaps

But the story is not yet closed. From | J
the machine which completed the I*
matches they are taken to the " boxer " (
?mostly girls and women?who place i.
them in little boxes. The speed with | r
which this is done is surprising. With ' j
one hand they pick up an empty case
and remove the cover, while with the ! l
other they seize just a sufficient num- j <
ber of matches, and by a peculiar shuffl- J(
ing motion arrange them evenly, then? ;1
'tis_done! j.
Tne little pacKages 01 sleeping nre
are taken to another room, where on
each one is placed a stamp certifying
the payment to the government of a one j
cent tax. ' Equipped with these passes j
the boxes are placed in larger ones, and j
these again in wooden cases, which are
to be shipped to all parts of the country,
and over seas.
All this trouble over such little things .
as matches ! Yet on these fire-tipped bits
of wood'millions of people depend for
warmth, cooked food and light. They
have become a necessity, and the daj of
flint, steel and tinder seems almost as
far awav in the past as are the bow and
fire-stick of the Indian.
How apt to our subject is that almost
worn-out Latin phrase. " multum in j
parvo,"?much in little! Much labor, i
much skill, and much usefulness, all in \
a little piece of wood scarcely oneeighth
of an inch through and about ;
two inches long!"?St. Nicholas Magazine.
A Doable Snrprise.
While Mr. and Mrs. Enright are j
agreed upon most all other subjects
they do not exactly agree as to how !
tramps should be treated. That is, they
didn't until vesterday. His heart was
tender enough for him to say:
"Every time you feed a hungry per- j
son you lay up treasures in Heaven."
"I can't have them annoying me, and j
I won't 1" was her spunky reply. I
" Does it annoy you to have a hungry :
man ask for food ?
" Yes. it does !" i
" I'd be only to glad to feed aud con- >
verse with a 6core of them," he con- |
tinued. "I'd like to ask them of their
past deeds and future intentions ; find
out if they realize that there is another
world ; put new and better thoughts
into their minds. Oh! Hannah, be good 1
to the unfortunate !" j
"I'll fix you, old man 1" she said to :
herself as she leaned back to rock, and !
she meant to do in. Next morning, when ;
he had been gone an hour, a tramp called i
and asked for a sandwich. The fellow
was invited into the parior to warm and j
wait for dinner. At ten o'clock there !
were three in there. At eleven there !
were seven. Half an hour later she '
smilingly seated two more. Ahout noon, i
while waiting for her husband to arrive ?
and ask them of their future hopes and ;1
fears, and chuckling over her scheme, |
she heard one tramp call out: i*
" Let go ray ba'r !" i 8
"Give it to him !" shouted a second.
"'Rah, for me!" screamed a third, ii
and then the orashing and smashing , i
drowned their voices. The whole crowd i1
fought across and around the parlor, out j
into the hall, and two or three were c
being dragged down the front steps as
Mr. Enright came up.
" 'Nolher of us. Go for him I" yelled i t
a big tramp, and the good man was hit j t
on the ear, pitched into the snow, and
didn't come to until a' dozen camphor F
bottles had been collected. He entered j
the house leaning on his wife's arm. ,

How to Visit the Paris Exposition. ;
A writer in the Chicago Tribune gives j
the following advice to those intending !
to visit the Paris exposition: Leave all j
your best clothes at home, they will be !
useless to you. Take plenty of warm, j
rough clothing to wear on the steamship.
Your watcb, starched linen and fine hat !
had better remain packed. Upon lauding
go to some inland English town?say !
Manchester, Exeter or Nottingham?and
arrange to stay a week or so, during
which time get a "traveling suit " made,
and buy underwear, etc., complete.
Demand in all cases their lowest orice ! ?
for cash. Yon are now un-Americaaized, i
and ready for London and the continent. ' c
Don't buy in Paris until you have beend-j
there several weeks, t'lieu make your .?
purchases according to your tastes and J
the length of your purse. You "will find j j
the hotel rates, and prices of everything :
you buy in Paris, and indeed every where j j
vou go upon the continent, to be twenty- j t
five to fifty per cent, lower, if you can
successfully pass yourself ofi as any- ?
thing but an American. ?

Indians, from their agency below

early in the evening till daylight. Today
many of them have been on this
side of the river trading bows and arrows
and other Indian productions for dogs.
They secured about a dozen, and ton;ght
will occur a war dance and dog
feast. One of the tribe was murdered
a few days ago, and they say they are in
this way trying to appease the great
spirit. Their yello and barbarous

Stanley's Wort. m
We find this in a Cairo (Egypt) letter ^
to the Philadelphia Bulletin : On New p
Year's Day I had the pleasure of an V(
hour's conversation with Stanley in bis n<
room, when he gave the following tl
summary of his work : Leaving Eng- Pj
laud on August 15, 1874, he went to e,
Zanzibar, on the east coast, to organize gj
the expedition. Starting from that city ai
with a total force of 347 men, he com- tr
menced the first allotted task of settling ^
the problem of the sources of the Nile, a,
which was satisfactorily accomplished, tl
Secondly, he was to finish the explorations
of either Baker or Burton, and he A
chose the *oute of Burton. He, how- B
ever, followed the other sufficiently far P;
to sight Baker's lake fifod add to the ^
discoveries around that body of water, g
Lastly he undertook to determine ci
whether the river Lualaba was a tribu- ?:
; tary of the Nile or of the Congo, and it Jj
j proved to be of the latter, as the voyage y
' down the Lualaba brought the explorer n
: out on the Congo. Stanley emerged on ci
' the eastern coast of Africa on August "
' 11, 1877, with but 115 men. Thence he *
sailed around the Cape of Good Hope g
back to Zanzibar, nine more men dying n
on the voyage. At Zanzibar he dis- *
charged his little army, made presents a
to the relatives of hia dead followers, ^
and returned to Cairo by the way of
Suez. During his three years in the interior
7,400 miles were accomplished,
of which 6,400 were over a country
never before trodden by explorers. The
continual reduction in the number of his
force was caused by conflicts with hostile
tribes and bv fevers. Stanlev him
self suffered more or less from fevers,
but having become thoroughly accli- *
mated the attacks were not of a serious 81
nature. . |

Which am I to Believe 2 ?,
A correspondent in Texas writes: The ?
enormous receipts of northern goods
this fall brought with them some queer Vi
material for local railroad agents. B
'' Thomas," exclaimed a newly-appointed b
agent, " how much is four times seven V B
Thomas, being hurried and somewhat 0
mixed, replied, " twenty-seven 1" The h
agent proceeded with his percentages,
which obstinately refnsed to foot up p
more than ninety-nine per cent. After ?
two hours' figuring, seeing Thomas at
lunch, he again put the qnestion." Ab
the brain of the latter was not being P(
taxed, the answer came correctly, y
" twenty-eight!" With face purple
with rage, he roared " What do I employ
you for ? To tell me lies ? This b
morning you told me twenty-seven, and
now you say twenty-eight. Which am I
to believe ? 01
A lady in Saratoga was attracted re- Ei
cently to a beautiful canary bird by its
! close resemblance to one she had lost
last spring. She was informed that the a
songBter had been found one chilly o
morning perched upon a window-sill. ?;
The lady said that her bird had been b
taught the pretty little feat, when given
its liberty in a room, of picking up a pin
and sticking it into the carpet. The h
; cage door was opened and as the canary Fj
flew forth the lady threw a pin upon B.
the floor.- The bird immediately flew o<
down, caught it in its bill, dexterously 0|
stuck it in a perpendicular position in p<
the carpet, and then it hopped off a step w
or two and warbled some of its sweetest
notes, as if in exultation of the feat it
had accomplished. It was the long-lost b<
songster.

itronomers assure ua that precisely similar
