So it will be seen that less than one-third of the profes¬ sedly religious people of the world are Christians. ----------- «♦»-- -- --- The appointment of Mr, Straus, of New York city, to the post of Minister to Turkey, vacated by Sun Set Cox, attracts surprisingly little attention. Mr. Straus is a Hebrew and said to be a Mugwump. Mr. Cox says that he will make a probably success at he Constantinople, and will. The position American minister to Turkish court offers no more serious difficulties than that of keeping from dying the* bines, and as Mr. Straus ha-* literary ambition, he will probably be vigorously employed on ber ture of treating books ot Turkey.
