A STORY OF THE SEA. > The Execution of Four Sailor* who Murdered the OttK-er* oi Vessel--A Brave Steward. The execution of the four Greek sailors of the crew of the British ship 1 Lennie, who mutinied and murdered the " captain, mate and second offioer of that ' vessel, is the end of one of those tales ! of the sea that read like the. buccaneer " 6tones of the olden time. The four ' men were haDged at Newgate, England. ^ Two of them were twenty-one years of ' age, one thirty-three, and one thirty-six j years. Six months ago the ship left ] Antwerp in ballast. The crew oonsisted ' of six Greeks, one Turk, one Italian 1 and one Austrian. The officers were \ a captain, chief and second mate, a steward, named Constant von Hay- . donck, and there -was a boy as oook. The ship sailed for New Orleans, and, eight days after the vessel sailed, the 1 crew mutinied, killed the captain and chief and seoond mate, throwing the bodies overboard. The mutineers then ordered the steward, who understood navigation, to sail the vessel and take her to the coast of Greece, making their order known thus: "We have finished the captain, mate and second, and now you are to navigate. We have made up our minds to go to Greece. Ton take the ship to Gibraltar, and we will find Greece and take the boats, remove everything of value out of the ship and sell it on shore, and you will have your share." The steward replied that if he took charge of the ship he should expect them to obey his orders. The steward accordingly undertook the management of the ship, and the assassins at once employed themselves in scraping her name off wherever it was painted and in washing out the evidences of their foul deeds. They also ransacked the officers' rooms, and "Big Harry " appropriated to his own use the murdered captain's coat. The next day one of the crew said to the steward that he did not think they were going to Greece but to some other part of the channeh The steward, who acted throughout the entire ordeal with extraordinary self-possession and courage, told his suspicious questioner to mind his own business; that he had charge of the ship and would not be ordered about, and if he did not keep quiet he would blow his brains out. The man Renken then went forward and told the rest of the crew that they were being deceived, and that "the vessel was being taken up the English channel." They all came in a body to the steward, whose life must have hung, at this moment, on a thread, and " Big Hairy," the ringleader, on asking him what he was doing and where he was going, received for answer that he was to mind his own business and leave the steward alone, and the ship would be brought to Greece. "They appeared satisfied," said he, "and at half-past eleven at night I altered the course of the ship for the French coast, and on the fourth of November I took the ship into the Isle de Rhe. It was a very rough night and very misty, and "Big Hany" came to me and asked me what I did there?the land was all around them. I told him I knew where I was, and my intention was to lie there until we could get a fair wind, and that we might as well have a night's rest as to beat about and make no headway." Daring this night the steward and his young assistaut wrote twenty messages, in French and English, which they threw overboard in bottles. These messages (the name, character and destination of the vessel bei g mentioned) were as follows: " Maoistraes?Will you send a num ber of police, a steamer and men, be cause on the thirty-first of October, sailors killed the captain and mates? Keep the polioe below if you come, as we may save our lives." Many of these bottles were washed ashore on the coast of France, On the fourth of November the steward took the ship into the bay of Sable d'Olorme, stating to the crew that he intended to stop there all night and wait for a fair wind on the morrow. The next morning Ohrgalis told him that if he did not take the ship where they wished to go he would be served as were the others. The Lennie stood out to sea for three days on leaving the bay, and on the evening of the sixth, Cargalis came again to the steward, saying: 44 We want to see the land ; what course have we to steer to see it ?" "At this time the steward had been deprived of the command of the ship, and he, therefore, refused to answer the question. 44 Big Harry " then said : 44 Steward, you take care of the vessel again; that fellow can't navigate." All hands followed 44 Big Harry " into the cabin and the steward intimated that he would navigate the vessel again and take it safely to Greece if not interfered with, to which 44Big Harry" replied; 44 Now the first man who interferes with the steward in navigating the ship I will cut off his ears." Thus oonfirmed in his command the steward resumed the navigation of the ship, and, the weather becoming very rough, he suggested that the crew should go on shore, telling them that. the country on which they would land was a republic and that there were no polioe there. Tfie six Greeks, approving this, landed at Sable d'Olorme. For two days the ship lay off the coast. In the meantime some of the bottles containing the messages had been picked ? up. A pilot boat came alongside, followed by the French man-of-war Travailleur. The steward claimed, for himself and the boy, the protection of the French authorities, and narrat d the story of the murders and mutiny. The lUU/OJXLUJg pvi tiuu vi cue uen n<? ?uru arrested and taken on shore. While this capture was being effected on board the ship, the six men who had landed, and who had been representing themselves as destitnte seamen belonging to a Greek ship which had foundered, were arrested, several of the bottles having washed ashore and suspicion having now been aroused by communication from the gunboat. The men, having been examined be- j fore the French authorities, were handed over to the English polioe, under the extradition treaty between the two countries. A two days' trial resulted in the abandonment of the main charge against seven of the prisoners (several of whom were necessarily obliged to be discharged in order that tney might give queen's evidence against the more prominent criminals, who could not have been convicted in the absence of such evidence), and in the sectercing to death of the four ringleaders, French Peter, Big Harry, Lips and Joe, the cook, at the Old Bailey sessions, London. They have now paid the earthly penalty of their crimes. " Bitten by an alleged mad dog " is the mild way in which such an occurence is put in Baltimore, to avoid hurting the dog's feelings should he be merely la* boring under a temporary aberration. THE DETHRONED St LTAN. The Late Sultan or Turkey who wa? ( Obliged to Abdicate?An Interesting Sketch. . Abdul Aziz Kahn?the dt throned j 0 raltan?wtis the second son of Sultan j _ M&hmoud Khan, and brother of Sultan j Abdul Medjid. fle was born Feb. 9,1830, ind succeeded his brother June 25, ^ 1861. He received a liberal education, | spoke flueutly French and English, and ! c Drior to comiucr to the throne had man-1 * *ged a model farr at Scutari. At his 1 accession the saltan introduced several 1 reforms. He reduced the civil list, aDd * promised equal rights to all his subjects I regardless of creed. He reformed the I Divil service, and declaring that he b would have only one wife he dismissed g bis harem. His dealings with foreign a nations likewise began satisfactorily. $ He lecogoized the kingdom of Italy, B and concluded commercial treaties with g both France and England. He estab lished friendly relations with his vassal, * the vioeroy of Egypt, and reduced the Montenegrins to dependence. The ' sultan continued in the early years of 1 his reign to make a display of reform. * He changed the land laws and allowed * foreigners the right to hold real estate c in the Ottoman empire. In May, 1867, 1 he visited the Paris exposition, and was . received with great splendor. He also e went to London, and was presented with < the freedom of the city. The year following he founded, at the instance of the ] French, a council of state, which he in- , augurated with a speech in favor of the regeneration of Turkey. He established at the saire time an imperial academy, 1 where Mohammedans and Christians 1 were to be educated in common. Soon i after he founded an observatory at Con- I stantinople. Pursuing his work of re- ] form, the sultan made pnblic in 1869 < the first part of a civil code, whioh he ] had directed the supreme court of the ( empire to prepare. From 1866 to 1869 .j the sultan's reign was disturbed by the J insurrection in Crete, which, after stubborn resistance, was finally quelled. In July last a revolt began in Herzegovina, which has since become very formida* ble. During the progress of hostilities the three imperial powers?Austria, Germany, and Russia?proposed reforms, to which the sultan reluctantly acquiesced. The insurgent-, however, refused to aooept the proffered terms, declaring they would be satisfied only with independence. Recently the three powers agreed upon a new basis of peace at Berlin, which has not been formally presented to the Porte. The sultan's troubles were lately increased by a formidable revolt in Bulgaria, and a fanatical outbreak at Salonica resulting in the murder of the German and French consuls. He has likewise been embarrassed by the hostile attitude of Servia and Montenegro, both of which States are friendly to the insurgents. Last yeai the saltan was unable to meet the interest on the public debt, and proposed to * aspen d paying it for five years. This act of national insolvency has been almost fatal to Turkish credit in Europe. In late years the sultan had departed from the wise policy with which his reign began. He lived in great luxury, squandered money on palaces and ironclads, and appeared indifferent to the public weal. His successor, Mohammed Murad Effendi, was born September 21, 1840. He is a nephew of Abdul Aziz, who vainly tried to have the law of succession altered, so that his own son might succeed. Failed to Get a Prize, Our couDty fair is just over, says the Michigan farmer, but Johnson's Ootswold ram did not take the prize that was offered for the best animal of that kind. Judge Klump was chairman of the committee on rams, and he manifested the deepest interest in Johnson's, indicating clearly that if any sheep ought to take a prize tliat one ought to. Johnson's ram was by itself in the pen with a high board fence, and before adjudicating the judge thought he had better go in and make a close examination of the animal for the DurDose of ascertaining the fine ness of its wool. As soon as the judge reached the interior he walked toward the ram, whereupon the ram began to lower its head and shake it ominously. Just as the judge was about to feel the fleece, the ram leaped forward and planted his head in the judge's stomach, lol'ing him over on the ground. Before the judge had time to realize what had happened, the ram came at him again and began a series of promiscuous butts, each given with the precision and force of a pile driver. It butted the judge on the back, on the ribs, on the arms, on the shoulder- blades, and the bald place on his head, on his shins; it butted bis spectacles off, it butted his high hat into silk chaos; it butted him over into the corner, and up against the fenoe, then it butted four boards off the pen, and escaped into the fair grounds and skedaddled, and would not wait to have the first prize ticket pinned to his ear. Judge Klump did not go after it. No, no ! Four men came and carried him home. The doctor anticipates that he will reoover by the next fair. Races Against Time. A New York correspondent says: Sjjch feat3 as Parker's and Peralto's have been performed before. Nell H. Mowery, August 2, 1868, at San Francisoo, rode thirty horses three hundred miles in eight hours two minutes and forty-eight seconds. In 1856. a pony rider, Jack Powers, carried the mails from Los Angeles to Monterey, two hundred and twenty-five miles, in twenty-four hours, lass Ding bis horses from the herd of spare ones driven with Him, as is the custom on tne piains ana also with the fast messengers of the Manitoban half breeds. In 1858, at San Francisco, using fourteen horses, he rode one hundred and fifty miles in six 1 hoars forty-three minutes thirty-four seconds, and Tom McNabb rode two hundred miles within ten hours also at < the Ca'ifornia capital. George Osbaldeston, "the 'squire," in Nov. mber, 1831, for a wager of two thousand guineas, using twenty-six horses, and riding over a four mile course on a stormy day, heavy rain falling for four hours of the match, made two hundred miles in eight hours forty-two minutes, the actual running time being seven hours nineteen minutes and four seconds. He rode one horse (Tranby, that was afterward brought to America, and sired some of our best stock( sixteen miles, one twelve, seventeen eight, and nine four. Two hours afterward he had taken a bath and ridden to town to dinner, where they "kept it uy" in the characteristic style of those days?and nights.

" Crevicing in the Pot Hole." An old California miner tells ns about the early day digging as follows: Here in a man lvinc in an uncomfortably / U w cramped position on the steeply inclined banks which border the TuoInmne. The sun beats down fiercely. An egg will quickly cook in the white, hot sand. One of his arms reaches to the elbow down a hole in the solid rock. The hole is as round and smooth as if made by a gigantic drill. With a piece of iron hoop bent at one end, he draws up bit after bit of gravel or yellow mold. It may require the labor of half a day to fill his gold pan. The dirt when washed may yield five dollars; it may yield fifty. Mining is a lottery. That hole was made ages ago. A pebble lay in the eddy, and the twirling waters turned it round and round. Year after year it kept on turning and slowly grinding particles from the bed rock. So it wore its way in deeper and deeper, until it bored this hole. Had it been in quiet waters the cavity would quickly have filled up with sand. But the furious current whirled the sand out as fast as it came in. Only the heavier drift, black ironstone and an occasional bit of gold, would remain at the bottom. There the slowly accumulating deposit was packed almost as firmly as cement. This is a "pot hole," and our miner is "crevicing." That, in the eailier and palmier days of California gold digging, was the simplest and most profitable form of mining. For machinery it required only the pick, pan and spoon. Thousands of dollars have* been taken in a few hours from pot holes but a few feet in depth and a few inches in diameter. " Crevicing " was my first experience in mining. I picked up a woe-begone man at Hawkms' Bar. We bought a few dollars worth of provisions and went up Quartz Rock canyon. The route was difficult and dangerous. Much of il was like a promenade along the steep slope of a Mansard roof. We built fox ourselves a brush house. The foundation rock was inclined at an angle oi forty-five degrees. It was the best location we could find. A few yards of the ledge dropped perpendicularly intc the river. On either side the gorge roses wall of rock many hundreds of feet ir height. So we lived and worked, daj after day, at sin angle of forty-five de grees. We slept at an angle of forty five. It was necessary at night to drive pegs for our feet to rest against; other wise we might, in slumber, roll off dowr the granite declivity into the river. I] anything upset it rolled into the river if things were not propped and chockec they rolled into the river. When the potato bag was left untied it turnec carelessly over, and a peck of potatoee wane vnahint* ftnrl BPnmnfiriTlO OV6E the rocks, and jplunged like 60 many froge into the river. If a pot, a tin cnp, ? pan, was left unguarded, it rolled dowr into the river with a metallio clangor. The first fall rain came in the night, The six months of California's dry sea son is apt to terminate with a sudden, tremendous rain, but no one can tel whether its coming will be a montl: sooner or later. The rains descended we could not get away; our brush house was a sieve; we could not light a fire we could not exeroise to keep warm; il was possible only to crawl in a country that is everywhere inclined at an angle of forty-five. So we sat the live long night, and endured, and shivered, anc were saturated. Time never flies or such occasions. A Disagreeable Position. Men armed with iron claws fight like wild beasts in Baroda, India, the king offering prizes and witnessing the brutish contests. They are first intoxicated with bhang, an infusion of hemp .and opium, to inspire them with sufficient courage. Frenzied and singing, thej ruRh at each other, striking, wrestling, - - -i ? aua using ine iron cxawts, uuiai uuo u 1 the other is wounded beyond furthei fighting. Rousselet, in his " Traveh in India," describes a contest in which one gladiator showed symptoms ol fright and a desire to run away, and the other turned to the king to know whether he should relent. "Strike!" the king shouted, and the head of the defeated fellow was soon torn and bleeding. A Yerdict in Advance. One of the jurors summoned in the Monroe case in the criminal court in San Francisco was Robert Cohen, a bluff Englishman. He was asked if he had any opinion about the case, and he repli< d that he was " down on a man who would beat a woman, anyhow, and that he would leave the house afore he would do it." Upon it being explained to him that it was only intended to ascertain whether he could give the defendant a fair trial, he blurted out: "Well, I believe him guilty, anyhow; any man who would beat"? " You are excused," said the judge. Hardening the Infants. Ip Egypt, a correspondent writes, among the peasants, premature old age comes on at forty, and the population is kept down by a terrible infant mortality. Out of the 140,000 annual deaths, 80,000 were of infant children. It has been calculated that three out of every five that are born die before the age of two. For those that survive an old Egyptian custom that is still practiced is most symbolical of their future. The child is put into a sieve and rolled about to the beating of drums. 4 It is in order to burden him," say the people, A War Cloud in the Ea t.

Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy?have ( proved of the greatest service to ?ne. Six months ago no one thought that 1 could possibly live long. I bai a complication of diseases ?scrofula, manifesting itself in eruptions and great blotches on my head that made such ! sores that I could not have my hair combed without causing me much suffering; also causing swollen g ands, tonsils enlarged, enlarged or " thick neck," and large and numerous boils. I also suffered from a terrible chronic catarrh, and, in fact, was so diseased that life was a burden to me. I had tried many doctors, with no benefit. I finally procured one-balf dozen bottles of your Golden Medical Discovery, and one dozen Sage's Catarrh Remedy, and commenced their use. At fir.-t I was badly discouraged, but after taking four bottles of "the Discovery I begun to improve, and when I had taken the remaining I was well. In addition to the use of Disoovery I'applied a solution of iodine to the goiter or thick neck, as you advise in pamphlet wrapping, and it entirely disappeared. Your Discovery is certainly the moat wonderful blood nedicine ever invented. I thank God and you from the depths of my heart for the gieat good it has done me. Very gratefully, Mrs. L. Chaffee. Most medicines which are advertised as blood purifiers and liver medicines contain , either mercury, in some form, or potassium and iodine variously combined. All of these | agents have strong tendency to break down the blood corpuscles and debilitate and otherwisespermanently injure the human system, and should therefore be discarded. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Diecovery, on the other hand, being composed of the fluid extracts of native plants, barks and roots, will in no case produce injury, its effects being strengthening and curative only. Barsaparilla, which used to enjoy quite a reputation as a blood purifier, is a romedy of thirty years ago, and may well give place, as it is doing, to the more positive and valuable vegetable alteratives which later medical investigation and discovery have brought to light. In scrofula or king's evil, white swellings", ulcers, erysipelas, swelled neck, goiter, scrofulous inflammation, mercurial affections, old sores, eruptions of the skin, aud sore eyes, as in all other blood diseases, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery has shown its great remedial powers, curing the most obstinate and intractable cases.

Among the crowd of proprietary medicines that seek acceptance from the public throngb the advertising coluiffns of the press, there is now and then one which deserves the recommendation of the editorial fraternity.

What we have saia privately to friends and acquaintances, there can be no impropriety in reiterating in print. It is an exoellent remedy.

I Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Strut, Sea Weed Tonic ' and Mandrake Pills.?These medicines have any ' doubtedly performed more cures of Consumption than f say other remedy known to the American pnbllc. They ' are compounded of vegetable Ingredients, and contain , nothing which can be Injurious to the human constltuI tion. Other remedies advertised as cures for Conaump^ tion, probably conUln opium, which Is a somewhat dangerous drug In all cases, and If taken- freely by ) consumptive patients, it must do great lnjary; fer its r tendency is to ocnfiue the morbid matter in the syaDm, which, of course, must make a cure impossible. 1 Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup D warranted not to contain * nartlcle of oniam. It Is comioosed of DOwerful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach, and expel all the diseased matter from ths body. These are the only means by which Consumption oan be cured, ' and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and 1 Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate In i this way, it is obvious they are the only genuine care for I Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of (his lnvalu | able medicine Is accompanied by full directions. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office, corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, > wheie all letters for advice must be addressed.
