A bdiiob is ourrent that tbs famous
Stevens floating battery has been sold to
the Russian Government for $1,000,000,
whioh is about one-third of the cost of
the vessel; but as the late Edwin A. Ste
vena designed to present it to the State
of New Jersey, the money is a olesr gain
to the decedent’s estate.

The Riohmond (Va.) Whig insists that
the eleotion of a Demooratio Speaker is
essential, both to the suooess of the Pres
ident's polioy and what it calls “ours.”
Moreover, it adds : “Mr. Hayes is, like
the rest of u«, mortal, and may at any
moment cease to be. His demise would
at onoe confront us with a very different
sat, of whom nothing need bo said. The
dullest fanoy can imagine them.”
Gen. Coui.y says, in a recent number
of the Ohio Slate Journal, that the South
need not expeot to be helped by subsidies
in the next Congress, and intimates that
President Hayes ia not in favor of that
sort of aid, but the Washington National
Republican doesn't think he speaks by
tha oard. A more authoritative statement
was talegraphed a day or two ago, that
the President wss vary deoidedly in favor
of the Government aiding in that man
ner.
Ex-Pbesident Gbant and family will

The party will arrive in Philadelphia,
May 14, and will be the guests of Mr. A.
E. Borie. The Penn Club will tender the
ex-President a reception on the evening
of the 15th, and there will, be a military
dsmonatration in his honor. The mu
nicipality will also tender him a reception
in Independence Hall, and many distin
guished persons will be present to bid
him God-speed when the steamer sails.
Flobenoe Shannon, a belle in Ban Frau-
claoo, and daughter of the Collector of
that port, was recently married to Samuel
L. Sacha, a Jew. The wedding, besides
being elaborate in ordinary respeots, was
made remarkable by a strange incident.
Juat as theoouple stood up for the cere
mony, a Jewish rabbi entered, and pre
sented a formal protest by Saobs’ parents,
who were opposed to their son's wedlock
with a gentile. The delay was not long,
for the bridegroom declared that he bad
made his choioe and had no idea of chang
ing.
Miss Viboinia Peyton, a highly accom
plished grand-daughter of the late Bishop
Johna, of Virginia, has become governess
of the children of the President Hear
ing that Mrs. Hayes was looking for a
teacher, she went wilhont recommenda
tions to the White House and applied for
the place. The President's wife reoeived
her very kindly and promised after a long
conversation to make inquiries and oom-
munioate with her forthwith., The result
of her inquiries was bo favorable that the
intrepid young lady was engaged as gov
erness for her children at a handsome
salary.
St. Louis Hepublican: The oooupation
of the Democratic press is gone, tempor
arily. It baa been usurped by the patri
otic champions of Mr. Hayes. Every
Hayes paper in the United States has be
come an advooate of Democratic princi
ples, and is engaged in proving that re
construction was a failure, that the Re
publican polioy in the South has been an
inexcusable blunder, that Kellogg, Pack
ard and Chamberlain were humbugs, that
tha carpet-baggers never should have
been supported, and that the Southern
Btataa have beoome tranquil only as they
have become Demooratio.
Good Showing ron this Countby.—The
Statistical Bureau makes a splendid show
ing for the United States for the past nine
months. The exhibit is most gratifying,
as the faot is portrayed that the oountry
ia living within its meana and the balanoe
of trade ia in our favor. The bureau re
port* that our exports exceed our imports
$155,000,000, and during the sum* period
(Bin* months) tha imports of -pints sx-
* exports over $5,000,000. It has
BVMIA AND TURKEY.
Both eontastaat* are badly off for mon
ey. The Gear owe* $916,000,000, and
has paid interest to date, the rate being
8 to 5^ per oeut pet annum. Been-
nounoea he will not wish to borrow this
year, as meana have been provided to
carry on the war and pay interest for
twelve months. The foreign debt of Tur
key is $1,085,000,000, with interest rang
ing from 4 to 9 per cent, which has been
contracted ainoe 1854, when the Crimean
war begun and not one oent of interest
has been paid ainoe Ootober, 1875. Both
will be compelled to issue paper.
The Oest is the temporal head of tqe
Greek ohurch, a slight modification from
Catholicity, and two-tbirds of the inhab
itants of Turkey in Europe are members
of it i but they have never sought tha
protection of Russia. They fear the
Cossacks as terribly as they do the Baahl
Bsaouks. The religion of the grant mass
of the Turks in Asia and the great pro
portion of the wealth and intellgene* in
Europe ia Mohammedan, followera of tha
prophet Mahomet, and subject to the pa
triarch at Constantinople.
The Turks number in Europe 8,500,-
000 souls; in Asia, 18,200,000—total, 21,
700,000. The grand total of Russia’s
population is 85,685,945, and square
milea 8,851,004. (The United States have
8,608,884). Russia in Europe has only
65,704,569 inhabitants. Russia would
long ainoe have won the whole of Turkey
and annexed it to her dominions had not
the other Powers interferred and guaran
teed its integrity, and they will be foroed
to do so again. England nor France, nor
Italy, all naval powers, oannot afford
Russia to possess Constantinople.
The “Flag of the Prophet" whioh the
Sultan threatena to unfurl, and to whioh
the faithfnl are called upon to rally, tha
best authorities agroe was originally of a
white oolor, and was composed of tha
turban of tha Koreish, captured by Ma
homet. A black flag was soon substituted
in its place, consisting of the curtain that
had hung before the door of Ayesha, the
favorite wife of the Prophet, whose af ■
feotion for her was so strong, he was wont
to say that she would be the first of hia
wives to whom the gates of Paradise would
be open. The Mohammedans regard the
Sanjak-Sherif as their most saored rslio.
It first came into the possession
of the followers of Omar, the
aeoond Caliph of the Moslema and the
founder of their grand empire raising
thorn from a seot to a vast conquering
power. He first assumed the title of
Commander of the Faithful (Emir al
mumenia) by whioh name iu the “Arabian
Nights” the Caliph Haroun-al-llisohid,
was called, who was cotemporary with
Charlemagne. The flag passed from Omar
through several Caliphs until the close of
the 16th century it was brought to Europe
by Sultan Amurath III, with whom Queen
Elizabeth of England oonoluded a
treaty of oommerce. It was de
posited in Constantinople, where, covered
with forty-two wrappings of silk, it wa.
placed in the interior of the Seraglio,
where it isperpetually guarded by Emirs,
who utter constant prayers. This is
known not to be the flag Mahomet mads
out of the turban of the Koreish, but the
Moslems believe it is, and will oheerfully
follow it to the death, verifying Tom
Moore's famous declaration put in the
mouth of the veiled Prophet Mokanna ;

St. Louis, May 1.—One of the most

has superseded tha use of all tha strong

A demand for it has sprung up in all sec
tions in the Isat few years, and now we
find it everywhere more universally call-
ad for than any other drink in ths bar
rooms, and immense quantities an man
ufactured. Americans now rival the Ten-
tout in the consumption of the favorite
liquor that stupefies after inordinate
quaffing, instead of oheariug sod than

of King Gambrinus, and a merry
old soul ia he. In Columbus just
now they are trying to oorner the lover*
of the flowing glass, by increasing the
prioe just as Atlanta, Savannah and Ma-
oon arc lowering it. This ia an infringe
ment on tha rights of the free Amerioan
oitisan who regard it as an infraction of
the privilege* of tha grtat nnterrified
ballot allnger. A committee of inves
tigation was appointed to inquire in
to the subject and after doe meeting
and pouring down several gallons of tbs
genorons foamy liquor they declared the
added tarilfoppressive and unconstitution

nation, and as mnoh should be oonsnmed
on B orodit as possible. It is needless to
add this unanimous decision pnt tha beer
on the dealers, and tbe people have con
curred very generally that tbe sentiment
of the meeting was on the average just
and oorreet and should be adopted so long
aa the sellor wonld stand it. The deter
mination was in aooordanoe with ths pre
cepts of jolly Gambrinns who did not
invent the graoloua compound that oheers

of the brewers. How the name came we

It serves better for the purpose of psoifi-

The appellation comes from Germany.
The old ohroniolera of Bavaria, whose
tutelar saiut is old Gam, tall this ourions
legend of the oelebrated book:
There was one day in olden timea at tbe
table of the Duke of Bavaria, aa guest, a
Brunswiok nobleman. Now there bad
long prevailed at the oonrt tbe custom of
presenting to noble guests, after the meal,
a beaker of the Bavarian barley jnioe, not
without a warning as to its strength. Tbe
Brunswioker reoeived the nsnal onp,
EMPTIED IT AT A DRAUGHT,
and pronounoed it exoellent. “But," he
oontinned, “snob barley juioe as we brew
at borne in Brnnswiok ia equalled by no
other. Our Mnmme ia the king of beers,
so that the braveet drinker cannot take
two beakers of it without sinking under
tbe table.” The Duke listened with dis
pleasure to tbe haughty words of the
knight, for he was not a little prond of
the brewings of hia oonntry, and com
manded his oup-bearer, with a meaning
look, to challenge him.
“By your leave, Sir Knight," replied
the page, “what you say is not quite trne.
If it pleases yon and my Lord Dnke, I
should like to lay a wager with you.”
Tbe Duke nodded assent, and tbe
knight, amiling aoornful y, challenged the
oup-bearer to pledge bim.
“Your Brunswiok Mumme," oontinned
tbe page, “may pass as a refreshing
drink; but with onr beer yon osnnot
oompsre it, for the best of our brewings
it unknown to yon. In oase, however,
you pleaBe again to make your appearanoe
at tho hospitable oourt of my graoioua
lord, I will promise you a beaker of beer
whioh cannot be equalled in any other
oonntry of united Christendom. I will
drink the greatest bumper that oan be
fonnd in onr oonrt of your Mumme at one
draught if you can take of our beer, even
slowly, three beakers. He who a half
bonr afterward oan atand on one leg and
thread a needle shall win the wager, and
raoeive from the other a mighty cask of
Tokayer Rebenaaftes.”
This speech reoeived lond applause,
and the Brnnswioker laughingly aooepted
ths challenge.
After the knight had departed tha Dnke
tapped the page on the shoulder and said,
“Take oare that thon dost not repent thy
words, and that tbe Brnnswioker does not
win the wager,”
The first morning in May the Brnns-
wloker rods into the oastle and waa wel
comed by the Dnke. AH eyea were turned
on the onpbearer, who shortly afterwards
appeared with a suite of pages carrying
on a bier two little casks, one Treating ths
Bavarian arms and the other those of
Brunswick. The right to give to the eon-
tents of the former a psrtioolar name waa
reserved to th* Dnke. Tha page produ

Another pige pleoed the three beakers

press a aaroaaUo laugh at th* hnge hamp
er which the page, taking ln bis strong
arms, pleoed to hie lip*. At the knight
emptied the laat beaker the eupbearer
tuned down tbe hamper. Two needle*
and a bundle of ailk lay on the table. It
wanted a tew momenta of tbe half hour,
and the Brunswioker ran toward the gard

eoort, a peculiar awimming of the head

der suoh circumstances f There is a little
olond no bigger then s men’s hand ben

u. Something hsa got to be done, end
people won’t stand fooling. They
have been fooled long enoagh. Why,
two years ego Stewart Woodford stamped
Ohio for Hayes, urging snob a petty sham
snd fraud ss this, ana the General took s
five cent pieoe from his vest pocket snd
held It ap between bis thumb and fore
finger. This was Woodford’s fraudulent
argument while stumping Ohio for
Hayes. H* would take a silver
dollar from his vest pooket snd

yon want; this is real money; yon don't

that silver dollar wasn’t monsy any mors

ment had demonetized it. Then onr
shrewd financiers in Washington ran into
debt twenty millions of dollars to pnt out
small silver ehange, which has been
bought up—twelve millions of it, I un
derstand—and sent to South Amerioa, so
that the people srs paying taxes to give
South Amerioa silver eoin. I don't need

We print elsewhere a number of inter
views with leading Georgia Democrat*
snd BepnbHssas oonosming ths polioy
of President Hayes and th* movement
for forming s new political natty. Geor
gia is a strong Demooratio State, snd
snob men ss Senator Ban Hill and Gov-
amor Brown naturally do not think mnoh
of a movement which wonld naooasarily
eat into th* Demooratio majorities. Gov
ernor Brown, who onoe attended a Re
publican National Convention, oomss out
in onr correspondent’s tatter as an
unoompromiaiug Democrat Mr. Ben
Hill wait*, bnt waits of
oonrae, on ths Demooratio side.
Ons of the Republicans—a federal ofllos-
holder—thinks tbs Southern polioy s bad
blander, snd the others era not snthasira
tio about it Tha most ram ratable senti
ments are thou of Mr. Loehnna, a prom
inent Demooratio politician, who thinks
President Havas has a Ads n ten-strike
for his party by his Southern policy, snd
that ths Bepobj^mne—the Hays* Repub
licans—will be strong*! in 1880 than they
were in 1876.
Senator Gordon’s opinions of ths po
litical sitnstion srs not given, u hs is
still shunt from ths Stats. Wa under
stand, however, that b* doss not believe
in a nsw party; that he thinks ths Demo-
ontio party at lent, to whioh he belongs,
should stand fut and await events; that
it ought to give an independent snd
set support to the Pruident in all right
liolioiea, snd that it onght to prepare at
'he polls to vote down nil Repnblioans
who did not protest against th* (rand and
military intorfersno* of tb* last asm-
isign. In this way, hs is understood to
told, tbe Demooratio party will show it
self to be in favor of all proper reforms,
at ths same time that it seeks to punish
ths authors and abstton in th* wrongs of
tbe last osnvsu.
It is natural that tha Georgia Demoorats
should try to stick together; bnt even in
their State we hear of Independent tiokets
and of leading men supposed to be more
or less inolined, if the ooession shonld
serve, to oat loose from conventions snd
strike ont for themselves. This is inevi
table in any community where the pre
ponderance of one party is so groat as to
make * nomination u good as *n eleotion,
snd where, nevertheless, there are more
candidates than offloes.
Jehu Forsyth,
From Col. Brower’s skotoh in his “Ala
bama,” the Montgomery Advertiser oon-
denses the prinoipsl events in his life. H*
wss born in Augusta, Ga., ln th* year
1812, of a distinguished family. His
grandfather wu a member of Gsn Wash
ington’s militanr family. His father,
Governor John Forsyth of Georgia, filled
several prominent positions in tha Stats
snd Federal governments, being Attorney
General, Governor, member of Congress,
Minister to Spain and Beoretary of State
for six and a half years under Presidents
Jsokeon snd Van Baron. In 1832 Col.
Forsyth graduated with first honors at
Prinoeton and two yaars after was admit
ted to ths bsr in Augnita. He looated in
Columbus bnt removed to Mobile about
one year after his admission. H* was
soon after appointed U. S. Distriot Attor
ney for the Southern distriot of Alabsms.
The death of his father in 1841 obliged
him to return to Georgia, where hs re
mained twelve years, planting, practicing
law and editing the Colombo* Times. In
the Mexican wsr he served a* Adjutant of
the 1st Georgia Regiment. In 1853 he
returned to Mobile, and resumed journal
ism, purchasing th* Register. In 1856 he
wu appointed Minister to Mexioo, with
out solicitation on bit part. He spent
two years in Mexioo, when h* resigned
snd retnrned to Mobile. In 1869 he wu
elected to the Legislature, and in 1860
wss elsoted Mayor of Mobil*. In Maroh,
1861, he wu a member of th* Commission
unt to Washington to negotiate pesos,
Messrs. Crawford, of Georgia, snd Roman,
of Louisians, being bis ooilesgusa. Dar
ing ths war he wu for a time on Gen.
Bragg’s staff. But he oontinned hie valu
able service* as an editor daring and after
the war. Gov. Parsons appointed bim
Mayor of Mobile. In 1874 he wu eluted
to the Legislature from Mobile, bnt his
already failing health prevented him from
ounpylng his seat except for s few days.
He married a Miss Hall, of Georgia.
