STAR OF BETHLEHEM.
Astronomical View of the Leg
ends of Its Appearance.
WERE THE PLANETS IN CONJUNCTION
From the Siderrnl Messenger.
Intelligent people have been frequently ask
ing during the past summer where the Star of
Bethlehem could be found. The impression
•Seems to have been general that there was now
to be seen somewhere in the heavens a very
bright star which should properly be called tho
Star of Bethlehem, meaning that notable sta
Gpoken of in the Bible as the "Star of the
East,” which the wise men saw and followed,
£n search of the birthplace of the King of tho
Jews, and which “went before them till it
came and stood over the place where the young
Child was."
In 1884 very much was said about this star
in newspapers and various periodicals in popu
lar and rewgious lines of thought, awakening
an interest in the minds of the uninstructed in
the astronomy and the history of it, which was
sometimes very intense with well-meant devo
tion and sometimes very ludicrous and fanciful.
What lent peculiar zest to these popular fancies
in the summer of that year was the appearance
of the planet Venus, for a considerable time, as
a bright and most beautiful object to look up
on, in the western evening sky, and from this
circumstance alone it was believed by many at
that time that this queen of the starry host
(unknown by name) was the real Star of Beth
lehem.
THEORIES OF THE STAR.
In view of this, an article was prepared for
the Messenger giving the substance of all that
•was known to the writer about the history of
the memorable star, arranged under lour
heads, as follows:
1. Tho star may have been a miraculous light of
gome kind.
2. The conjunction of the planets Jupiter and
(Saturn first, and finally Jupiter and Mats,
8, A comet; and,
4. A new or temporary star.
On the first point, astronomy, as such, could
•Stave nothing to say, because wholly beyond its
province of investigation.
Regarding tho second point, scholars and
astronomers in the early part of the century
thought and wrote much. In this Professor
Encke took the lead, and his conclusions that
tho conjunctions Jof the great planets
•which took place at the time of the birth of
Christ must have been the star seen by the
Magi. This opinion prevailed quite generally
among astronomers, including so high authori
ty as that of George B. Airy, astronomer royal
■of England.
Within the last few years, however, astrono
flters have been less confident that the theory
of the conjunction of the planets is really
- sound. As determined by Encke in 1831, the
distance of these planets apart, at conjunction,
tnust have been one degree at least, and hence
-Could not have appeared to an ordinary ob
server as one star at any time. On the other
hand it is easy to see how such a striking phe
nomenon would arrest the attention of those
interested in, or acquainted with, the Hebrew
prophecy or astrology. The teachingof astrology
interpreted the conjunctions of planets as fore
shadowing great national events, and the sign
of Zodiac called Pisces was known to belong
to the Jewish nation, hence a conjunction in
this sign (not only one, but three) was signifi
cant of the birth of Christ the expected king.
A trace of this same belief is found in Kepler’s
■Writing, in which he holds that the conjunc
tions of great planets coincides with tlio ap
proach of climaxes in human affairs, and gives
as examples, tho birth of Enoch, tho Deluge,
the births, of Moses, Cyrus, Jesus Christ,
Charlemagne and Luther.
A COMET OR A NEW STAR.
Regarding the theory that the star seen may
Slave been a comet whose change of place
might hate answered the description given in
the New Testament, nothing can be said by
the astronomer, for he has no historical evi
dence to support such a claim, and he probably
Would not offer any other.
In the matter of the appearance of a new or
temporary star at this time, as the object seen
■* by the Magi, the records contain something of
interest.
By a new or temporary star is meant one
that suddenly flashes out where none lias been
noticed before and as suddenly dwindles away
to a telescopic star or disappears altogether.
The important stars spoken of in connection
With this subject are Tycho Brahe’s star and
the star in Coma Berenices. There is proba
bly not another new or known variable star
that has so wonderful a record as that which
bears the name of Tycho Brahe. Brahe speaks
of its brightness as greater than that of Sirius,
Vega or Jupiter. For splendor it was only
comparable to Venus when nearest to the
earth and was seen by some at noonday. After
a few weeks it began to decline, and in sixteen
months became invisible to the naked eye (the
telescope being invented thirty-seven years
later).
In waning the star passed through changes
Os color, from white toyellow and red and then
to white again. These phenomena interested
’Tycho Brahe so much that he wrote a large
book describing the appearance of the star as
Been by himself and others, and gave theories
to account for those wonderful changes. It
has since been thought that this star appeared
also in 047 and 1264. If it be a variable star
With period of about 314 years, it would make
Its time of appearance about the beginning of
the Christian area and also its reappearance
probable, in some slight degree, in 1886. In
. con c luenco of this latter supposition astrono
mers in Europe have, been watching its place
£n Cassiopeia, which is now closely marked by
a faint star, with special attention', for the last
ten years.
In Tycho Brahe’s it was claimed by one
that this was the star which the
The star of Coma Berenices is spoken of as
appearing immediately preceding the birth of
Christ, and was so bright as to bo visible by
day. Hipparchus and I’tolemy speak of this
star, and Ignatius says that “it sparkled in
brilliancy above all stars.” Chinese records
also mention a new, bright star at this time,
but none of these statements have we been
able to verify from the best authority. In Dr.
Sims's view of the divine origin of the con
stellations the theory of this last named tem
porary star is certainly very suggestive and
possibly not too fanciful to be true, So uncer
tain is all our knowledgeof the Star of Bethle
hem from records within cur reach at the pres
ent time.

finding gamble’s body.
Thus matters rested fora week or two, when the
body of the missing man was found lodged against
some rocks, in the channel of the river, twenty
miles or more below the point where Mercer claimed
to have left him. No one could account for his
death, and it was urged by some that, being intoxi
cated, he had simply fallen over tho precipitous
bank of the stream, and that death by drowning
had resulted. Others, however, iusisted that a
crime had been committed, basing their claim
mainly upon the fact that the remains were par
tially disrobed and had been stripped of everything
of value.
Thus matters went on for two or three months,
when events of a rather unusual and sensational
nature transpired. After the custom of the country,
there was a great corndiuskiug bee given, about the
first of November, at the barn of John Travis, a few
miles from New Martinsville, and the boys and girls
from all the surrounding farms were there, together
with not a few of elder years. Among others a crowd
of fifteen or twenty young men went out from New
Martinsville, and after a night spent in mingled
work, kissing and cider drinking the town boys
started to return home. The party kept together
until they came to the brow of the immense hill
which bounds the town on the east, where a halt
was called. The hillside was very steep, and as
there were two paths leading down to the river bot
tom, one direct, but difficult and dangerous, and tho
other, while a little longer, comparatively easy, a
dispute arose as to which should be taken. The
dispute waxed warm, and finally the party separa
ted into two rival factions, each agreeing to take
one of the routes, and a wager being made condi
tioned that the party last arriving on the courthouse
Squae should buy a gallon of whisky.
A CURIOUS ADVENTURE.
The party which took the longest but less precipi
tous route came out on the river bottom about a
mile below the town, and just south of the location
of a swampy piece of land. The owner of this land
had cut a deep ditch through the high bank of the
river to drain a hollow behind, and the depression
thus formed had assumed the shape of a small
ravine, full of brush and small tiees, A path ran
along the river bank, parallel with the stream, and
thus crossed this ravine at right angles. This path
was the one taken by Mercer and Gamble on the
night when the latter met his death, and the spot
about the little ravine was an extremely lonely one
at the hour when tho belated party of cornhuskers
arrived upon the scene. The young men had lon
traveling at their utmost speed to avoid having to
buy the jug of whisky, and by the time they came
to the ravine one of their number, John Hineman,
who was the proprietor of a tavern and a saloon in
town, was so badly blown that he could no longer
keep up. He told his companions not to risk losing
the wager on his aeccunt, but to hurry on to the
appointed rendezvous and thus win the bet, and he
would follow after he had become rested a bit,
and help to drain the jug the others would have to
till.
Hineman sat down upon the edge of the little'ra
vine to rest, and the rt m tinder of the party hurried
on to town. The had barely got beyond hearing,
when Hineman was startled by a slight noise be
hind him, and on looking around he was horrified
at seeing a tall figure, robed from neck to heels in
white, standing within a few feet of him. The
frightened man managed to call out, "Who’s
there?” to which a muffled voice made answer that
it was the spirit of John Gamble who lad been
murdered close by. Hineman managed to screw
up courage enough to ask who committed the
crime, when the "spirit” replied: "Lem Mercer.”
The white-clad figure then stole softly and silently
away, and Hineman lost no time in getting upon
his legs and hurrying to town. He made his ap
pearance upon the public square more dead than
alive, but after a pull or two at the jug, managed to
relate to his companions what had occurred. The
next morning a party visited the ravine, and after
a thorough search of the locality succeeded in dis
covering some articles which were recognized as
belonging to the murdered man.
MERCER’S TRIAL.
The day following this Mercer came up to New
Martinsville, and it was agreed that Hineman
should be given an oppotunity to talk to him alone.
Hineman, accordingly, called Mercer into the little
la k parlor of his house, and was proceeding to
question him, when Mrs. Hineman, who was cogni
zant of her husband's aim, broke open the door of
the apartment, and brought the inquisition to an
abrupt termination.
Mercer was arrested and brought to trial, he be
ing defended by the present Judge Alphcus F. Hay
mond, while the venerable Judge G. W. Thompson,
of Ohio county, now eighty-two yearn of age, sat
upon the bench. The prosecuting attorney was the
father of Sep. Hall, of New Martinsville, now
deceased. A long and closely-contested legal battle
was fought, but, despite the utmost endeavors of the
state, it was impossible to obtain a direct proof of
tub guilt of the accused, and a verdict of “not
guilty” was returned by the jury.
Mercer continued to live in the vicinity of New
Martinsville for many years, but led a blasted life,
with no friends. The little ravine where John
Hineman saw the “ghost” is known to this day as
Gamble Hollow, from the belongings of the murder
ed man so peculiarly revealed therein.
Northern Men in the South.
From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The notices of the sudden death of Judge
Ellet, after having made the speech of welcome at
the Cleveland reception in Memphis, recall a very
singular fact. It is that piany of those who liave
been regarded i.s the most typical southerners were
men of northern birth. Ellet was a northern man
of great ability, and even in his youth a man re
marked among such intellectual giants as Prentiss
and Quitman, also men of northern birth.
Curious anecdotes are told of Prentiss. A native
of New England be migrate Ito the west early in
life. Coin n j down the Ohio river be determined
to locate at Cim t.maii, but was so disgusted at the
amouiit of apples given him lor 25 cents that he re
tuiielto the boat and vent down the river to
Vicksburg. Prentiss was a great hand to spree.
During one of the?c drinking bouts in New Orleans
he threw eleven empty champagne bottles,
one after i nother, through a hole made
in the wall fur ?. stove pipe. He then
told his negro boy who was attending
upon him to get upon the table and set the punch
bo .vlonhis hetkl, and if he failed to knock it off
with an empty bottle he would deed him his free
dom. 1 i.e ne\;o boy declidi d upon the ground that
ho was airaM Prentiss might miss the bowl and
stiiko his head -the very thing that would have set
him fice. This v. a always a favorite anecdote with
I'l j Ui’S illustrating to his mind that the negro was
hardly capable of freedom.

HAYNES SHOT DOWN.
During A Pistol Duel Between
Two Men.
BLALOCK AND M’CANTS AT WAR.
Gainesville, Ga., October 22.—[Special.]—
A tragedy took place at Hoschton, Jackson
county, a station on the Gainesville, Jefferson
and Southern railroad, about 8-a. m., in front
of lloscli Bros.’s store, tho parties engaged in
tho affair being William B. Mel’ants, a mer
chant of Hoschton, and Joe Blalock, Bahnour
& Smith’s bookkeeper, of Gainesville. Your
correspondent, after some inquiries as to tlio
cause of tlie difficulty, was put in possession of
the following facts:
THE CAUSE STATED.
Nir. Blalock owns a farm in Jackson county,
about one mile from Hoschton, which ho ren«-
cd to a man by tlio name of Kilgore for tlio
year 1887, and furnished him rations to enable
him to make his crop. Kilgore refused to pay
for tlie advancement, and Blalock sued and
obtained a judgment. Some cotton belonging
to Kilgore was levied upon, and he filed an
illegality to the execution. Being justice court
day, Mr. Blalock, with his counsel, cx-Judgo
J. B. Estes and Mr. W. F. Findlay, went
down on tlio early train to Hoschton, arriving
there about 8 o’clock. Judge Estes had took
breakfast before leaving home, lint Blalock
and Findlay left without eating, Blalock tak
ing a lunch witli him. On their arrival at
Hoschton, Blalock and Findlay repaired to the
store of Ilosch Bros., whore they lunched,
during which time Mr. W. B. McCants walked
into tlio store, and passing bv Blalock and
Findlay, halted a few steps beyond them, and
was engaged in looking at something when
Mr. Blalock advanced to where ho stood and
said;
THE CHALLENGE TO FIGHT.
“Bill, I understand that you said that I was
no better than a d—d rogue. Did yousay it?”
Nir. McCants made some reply to thoquerry,
which was not satisfactory, and, turning
around, walked toward the front door. When
about thirty or forty feet from Blalock, ho
stopped, faced about and walked up directly in
front of Blalock, and said :
“Joe, you are armed, and I am not.”
Blalock, pulling out two Smith & Wesson
double-acting revolvers, one thirty-eight and
one thirty-two calibre, said:
“That shall not bo in tlio way. Here are
two pistols. Take your choice, and wo will
shoot it out.”
McCants made noreply, but soon disappeared
out of tlio front door. ‘Blalock put tlio two
revolvers away and returned to his lunch. In
about five minutes McCants camo to tlie front
door of tho store, armed witli a double-barreled
shotgun, and asked Nir. Russ
Ilosch, one of tho proprietors, if Joe Blalock
was in tho store, and added that ho intended to
shoot him on the spot. Nir. Hosch hurried to
where Blalock and Findley stood, and told
Blalock that McCants was at tho front door,
armed with a double-barreled gun, and was
going
TO SHOOT HIM DOWN.
Blalock at once stepped to tlio front door, but
was detained by Hosch, who took ins arm and
insisted upon him not going farther, but
Blalock urged Mr. Hosch to let him those, and
when Hosch released liis arm, Blalock stopped
to tlie front door and down to the ground, and
holding his hands up said:
"If you are coward enough to shoot mo
with a double-barreled shot gun, when you
know that I have none, and when you refused
to fightme with pistols, go ahead.”
McCants was about ten paces from Blalock
at this time, and he stepped a few steps to tho
rear, his gun still in the position of ready.
About this time Mr. Haynes, a section boss on
tlio railroad, and Jim Beard ran up and took
hold of the gun, Haynes being in front of Mc-
Cants and between him and Blalock. Mc-
Cants had liis left hand on tho gun, while
Haynes held it witli his right, tlio barrels ele
vated. McCants drew a revolver and find at
Blalock by reaching around Mr. Haynes, but
tlie ball failed to hit its mark, and again from
his safe position he readied around Mr.
Haynes and let drive another leaden messen
ger at Blalock, who stood fully exposed to bul
lets and with empty hands. McCants still con
tinued to throw liis bullets, and Blalock whip
ping out his No. 38 began to swap balls with
him. After two shots Blalock’s revolver failed
to act. He threw it down upon tlie ground,
and drew his 32, but before firing some one
said that
HAYNES WAS 'KILLED,
and not to shoot again. When Haynes fell to
the ground, McCants got down behind him,
and hero the shooting ceased. Blalock went
to Hoschton on business, and did not expect to
see McCants, but from threats that Kilgore
had made, he thought it likely that he might
have a difficulty with him. It is uncertain as
to who shot Mr. Haynes, as the shooting was
general, and while it is hoped that he will re
cover, his life hangs by a brittle thread, as the
ball passed entirely through his body, having
entered below his right shoulder and coming
out through his left breast. Mr. Blalock was
at his post today, and while ho regrets very
much that Mr. Haynes was shot, he says that
ho feels
JUSTIFIED IN PROTECTING HIMSELF
against Mr. McCant’s desperate efforts to kill
Ihiu. Mr. Blalock is a brother to Billie Bla
lock, now deceased, who was so well and fa
vorably known in Atlanta. Ho has a wife and
two children, midis one among the host book
keepers in the state. His friends concur with
him in his opinion that lie is justifiable in act
ing as he die, and they will stay with him till
tho last day in the morning.
•
Trapping a Bushwhacker.
From Detroit Free Press.
During the winter after Burnsides’ attack on
Fredericksburg tirj entire front of his camps
was beset by spies, gneirillas and bushwhack
ers, and cold-blooded murder was a more fre
quent occurrence than picket-firing. My regi
ment was for a month stationed at a blind ford
up the Rappahannock, and while the confed
erate soldiers seemed willing enough to leave
us alone, the bushwhackers appeared
determined to kill us off. These men were
not always rebels and farmers. J have no
doubt that hundreds of union soldiers were
bushwhacked during tho war by tho hangers
on of our own army, and for the purpose of
robbery.
Ono of our river picket-posts was in a thick
piece of woods. Hero tiic reserve picket took
up its quarters and sent men up and down tho
shore for a mile in cither direction. Tlie last
post on our right Hauk would liavo connected
with the last post on tho left flank of a Now
York regiment but for a strip of swamp about
a quarter of a mile wide, which thrust it elf
down to the river. This swamp was full of
water at tiie time, and while no post could be
maintained there it was believed no enemy
could take advantage of it. We had not been
on duty a week, however, when tho man on
that post for the middle of the night was
found dead, stabbed to tlie heart. Wo had
just been paid off before coming down, ami as
lie had heed robbed of liis money his death was
not laid to the confederates. Two nights later
asecoud man was killed and robbed. For tlie
next three nights two men were put on tlie
post and all was quiet. Then one was taken
off, and that same night the single man was
killed.
I was at this time an orderly for tho colonel
of the regiment, and of course heard more or
less of tho headquarter talk over the bloody
incidents. It was certain that no rebels had
crossed the stream fertile sake nt killing the
picket on one single post, ami there were no
farmers inside our lines. It was reasoned,
therefore, that some one about our own camp
was the guilty wretch. He did not dare ap
proach the jiost when there were two
men, and while this doubling up might
have prevented further murders the < tonel
was anxious to do something to trap the fel
low. I heard him and two or three captains
talking the matter, and at om e asked to lie
detailed to the po-t. ) bad a y lran< ; to work,
•ami when il was unfolded to them it was a . ie< <1
that I should have a < banco to carry i out.
As a man had been killed the night before
by a stab in tiie back, it was arranged
to double the po t for two nights and
then let me go on alum'. This ga e tne the
chance to go over the ground, mid I was not
loug in .r-corering tost the supposed iiilpa-si
blc swamp cotiid l.a o.isily threaued. Indceil,
I found plenty of pi nts that soine one had
made liis vay a' io.» it several times in the
same Iraek, coming every time from the
direction of the Now York o glmimt
As every one of our men had t,g. n slabbed.
I reasoned that the assa .sin niu-t be a sly nnd
nurvy fellow. At the picket-post was a large
tree with branches wldch net only grew low
down but spread out and made a good shelter
from the bleak winds and snow squalls, -is
near as I could come at it, all tho men took up
their positions under this tree. Tlio river was
before them, but they could not have seen ten
feet into the dark woods behind. Tlie noise of
the wind among tho dead leaves and branches
would also sen e to deaden othersounds around
them. During the afternoon of the night I
was to go on, I got a uniform down into tho
woods, stufled it with straw, and when I went
on duty 1 tied this sham man to tho trunk of
tlio tree with liis back to tlio swamp. Then I
climbed into the tree with a revolver in my
hand and waited.
1 n ent on at ten o’clock and was not to bo
relieved before two. Fortunately for my sit
uation it was a mild though cloudy evening,
witli tlie wind coming now and again in gusts.
At such a time a troop of horso could " have
conrn through tlio woods without my hearing
them. I did not depend on my sense of hear
ing at all, but with cocked revolver in hand
sat on a limb seven or eight feet above my
dummy and watched him. It was just half
past eleven, when I suddenly made out a dark
mass on tho ground creeping' upon the dummy.
I had hardly seen it before it rose and plunged
a knife into tlie man of straw, striking him be
tween the shoulders. At tlie same moment I
opened tiro, and I kept it up until tlio revolver
was empty. Tlio unknown went down with
the first bullet, but I meant to kill him stout
and sure.
Tlio men of tho relief roused out at tho firing
and soon came up, and then wo examined my
prize by the light of tho lantern. The first
bullet had bit him in tho bead and four others
were in his body, and bo was stone dead with
a big knife clasped in his hand. No one could
say that they had over seen him before. Ho
was in citizen’s dress and was supposed to bo
a rebel, but next day we ascertained that, he
was a teamster belonging to tho Now York
regiment on our right. Ho had deliberately
gone into the work as a means of making mon
ey, and a search of his pockets brought to light
about §7O of tho funds ho had accumiilvtcd in
his three cold-blooded murders. Tlio men
were so enraged over tho affair that it was
with difficulty the officers could prevent them
from jabbing their bayonets into tlio corpse
and heaving it upon one of tho camp-fires.

TURKISH BANDITS.
Increase of Brigandage in the Ot
toman Empire.
A COUNTRY INFESTED BY MARAUDERS.
From the London Telegraph.
The dominions of Abdul Hamid is vexed at
this moment by two especial evils, not wholly
unconnected, and, for different reasons, not
easily combatted in tho present condition of
affairs—a daily increasing famine of and a
violent access of brigandage. It is easy to see
how tho latter might be but a consequence of
the former, and, as a matter of fact, tlie ter
rible scarcity south of tho Taurus has driven
many of the ordinary peaceful peasants of tho
vilayet of Adana to take the road within the
last few mouths, and probably many more will
yet follow their example during the bitter
interval which must elapse before next year’s
harvest.
SAFETY IN ASIA MINOR.
It is the almost universal impression in the
west of Europe that no one with anything to
lose can vunturo live miles outside a Turkish
town, that an Englishman is marked every
where for prey, that the Turkish police is a
farce, that the brigand is a bold rover who
will snatch his prey at all hazards and against
any odds. And yet at least throe-fourths of
the Turkish empire is as safe as Hampstead
hearth ; throughout the huge central plateau of
Asia Minor any crime except tobacco smug
gling is almost unknown. Last year only,
when the ragged Greek army was demobilized
at the instance of tho powers, brigands were
said to exist near Angora. Here and there a
Circassian or a Kurd sb als a horso or two and
gives the zaptiehs temporary employment, but
such a thing as organized brigandage is as un
known as in tho Scotch mountains, nnd this is
true even in the great trade routes —such as
that from Koniato Alioun Kara Ilissar, whore
tho wild recesses of tho Sultan Dagh would
afford cover enough for any number of enter
prising marauders. A more peaceful and law
abiding peasantry does not exist than the
ordinary villagers of Asia, Minor, and tho
traveller of any nation may wander as ho
pleases among their \ alleys and plains, and be
as sure of his horse, his arms and his money, as
anywhere in Europe. Some exception must,
however, bo made for Circassians, in spite of
frequent favorable experience of them, for a
lino horso or a good u <?apon is a sore temptation
to these gentry, and they entertain little res
pect for constituted authority's wielded by tho
Turks, by whom many stories arc told of the
persistence and cunning of a people infinitely
more enterprising and more handy than them
selves.
HABITATION OF BIIIGANDAOE.
The brigand proper confines his habitat in
Asia to the neighborhood of the coast and the
railways, lie limits his active operations ns a
rule to tho summer months, when tho leaves
are on tho trees and ho has tho maximum of
cover, and, if not taken by the zaptiehs during
the season, subsidies again in winter into tho
peaceable agriculturist, unless, like Andnm,
lie boos peculiar eminence in the profession.
The neighborhood of Smyrna and of the Otto
man railway, as far as Aidin, is the most in
fested, and long country walks :.ro not much
indulged in by residents at Bondja, Rourhabat
or Seidikewy. At Ephesus a party is always
safe, but a solitary individual might be mo
lested once in a bundled visits. As has been
said above, it is usually imagined in England
that European travelers are in especial danger
of being caught and held up for ransom. This
is, or was, undoubtedly so in Macedonia for
special reasons, but in Asia tho contrary seems
to be the case, and natives only seem to be
sought after. In the first place Asia is a cul
adosac, a largo one doubtless, but still without
any such secure exit as the Macedonian bri
gand has ready to hand over tho Greek fron
tier. if the Turkish authorities would ex
pend time and money they could clear every
brigand out of Asia Minor in those days of
passable roads, of zaptiehs, and, above all,
of telegraphs, ami the brigands themselves
know the insecurity of their position, (’on
sequently they will not willingly provoke the
man hunt which can so easily be instituted
and which would bo pressed on with far
greater resistance and energy at the instance
of an irate consul general with a ship-of-war
in the Smyrna harbor to back him, than at that
of the family of a native merchant. Again,
tho suspicious villager probably has many
doubts as to the stranger’s ransom being forth
coming. Ho knows a native’s moans and
belongings, and how to bring the necessary
pressure to bear. Net so in the ease of an Eu
ropean represented only by bis consul, and it
is for this reason that, while European natives
of Smyrna and other towns have been capt
ured at intervals lor tho last thirty years, Eu
ropean strangers (1 speak under correction)
have not.
NOT DESPERATE MARAUDERS.
This constitutes perfect security from any
thing beyond highway robbery for a traveller
far in the interior. No brigand band can take
the risk or afford the time to send to the coast
for a problematit <U ransom. Besides, it must
be remeanbered that they hr.vc never bad £14,-
0(H) paid for a foreigner, as in Colonel Synge’s
case, near Salonica: £I,OOO is, I believe, the
“record” in Asia Minor, ami the average does
not run above Hie half of that figurv. Still
(it may bo objected) there is the unpleasant
possibility of highway robbery alike for the
stranger and native traveller. Hardly so, once
again. Tho Asiatic brigand, if not a coward,
is at least a cautious and calculating robber.
Like an English burglar he heeds full pre
limary information, plenty of time for laying
his plans and account and initiating all tho
advantages on bis own side, lie has no desire
to run up against a bullett if it can be avoided,
and European travelers have the reputation of
being well armed ami shooting straight. It is
never waste pow<l< r ami shot, while traveling
in an unsettled neighborhood, to shoot at
marks (if you can hit them) when villagers
areabout. Most robberrics are committed at
night, a time nt which a European explorer
does not travel and on people whose move
ments arc known long before Land, as for ex
ample, a merchant or courier who is on the
road at slated periods. Therein nosm h thing
as habitual infesting <>f likely spots such, for
example, as tho pass above Al
aschncr, for tho |zapti<;ths are too
active for that; a rob be-y must bo < omplhh
ed by a sudden organized d<; a ont such as can
seldom or never be affect' d upon vibrant trav
ellers, even were they worth the trouble and
risk. NV hen a young European was captured
about a year ago on his farm ncai Bmyrna,
care had been taken first to abstract his re
volver.
