HOW IT AI’PEAUS TO A CLEVEB FAIIIBIAN
JOURNALIST, DIVESTED OJf CEREMONY.
Albort Millard's “Lottres Fantulslstcs"
aro among the most notable foaturos of
contemporary Partsluu Journalism. This
Is his latest production, entitled “Turks
and Serbs; or, Woo to tho Victors.”
Scene— A battle-field. Tho Turks have
Just laid out the Sorbs, who take to flight,
Turks—Allah bo praised! Wo have con
quered! Threo cheers for Mahomet!
(They carry tho news to Midhat Pacha.)
MUihat Pacha -Tho devil you have!
Quick; lose no time; go amt apologlzo to
the Serbs. (Thoy re-enter Serbia.)
Turks—Ho, ye Serbians, we have just
walloped you. You are absolutely wiped
out. We tender our apologies and regrets,
and are prepared to make any compensa
tion you will indicate,
Serbs— Wo want nothing. Wo will ac
cept neither apologies, regrets nor in
demnities. Wo don't caro a curso for you.
We are tho conqnerors.
Turks (rising on their ears)—O, you aro!
Serbs—Wo are.
Turks— Say It again, will you? (The
Serbs do. Tho Turks trounce, and return
to announce the victory to Mldhat Pacha.)
MUlhut Pacha— There you are again!
Will you never givomearest! Go back to
TchernayefT, fall on your knees and offer
him an armistice.
Turks— So be it. (They do so.)
Tchemayeff— What! Apologies? An ar
mistice? You offer this to us as if we
could accept it! It is our privilege to
make conditions.
Turks— But we aro the conquorors.
Tchemayeff-V/ctt, possibly you arc.
Turks— Ami you are tho conquered.
Tchemayeff— Admit it. But don’t push
it too far. lam not of the patient breed.
Turks— You ain’t eh?
Tchemayeff— Not much.
Turks— No more are we; and we may
as well have It out now, onoe for all.
(The Turks sweep the Serbs from the face
of theeath.)
(Enter Midhat Pacha.)
Mulhat i’Oeha— Great Allah! What
shall wedonow? The Serbs aro thrashod,
living, abolished. My army has not left a
platoon of them together. We have
nothing left but to capitulate. We must
capitulate. (Ho goes in his shirt, with a
rope around his nock, to offer reforms to
the Serbs.)
Serbs— Our terms aro high. We must
have ten thousand Turks decapitated.
Midhat Pacha— Dono I
.Serbs—Also our autonomy.
Midhat Pacha—l guarantee it.
Serbs— Likewlso much cash.
Midhat Pacha— Have all you will. Is
that all ?
Serbs— Lord, no! We want (Constanti
nople.
Midhat Pacha— O. como, now
Serbs— And besides and unless you
agree to our terms——
Turks-Well ?
Serbs— Well, mind your eye.
Turks— That’s rubbing it in. (They fall
on the Serbs and reduce them to sixteen
in number.) Now, will you have a little
common sense ?
Surviving Serbs— We must have the
Black Sea.
Ihirks— We’ll Black Sea you. (Additional
unpleasantness. EUfht severely wounded
Serbs remain.) Now that we have you
down to a fine point, let us hope that we
may come to an amicable understanding.
Serbs— We may, after you have aban
doned the errors of Mahomet. (The eight
Serbs are reduced to two.)
Turfes—Well, let us have peace.
Serbs— We must have the moon!!! (The
last Serb bites the dust.)
Turks—Allah be praised! That is tho
last of them! What does Europe say ?
Europe— They wanted tho moon. You
must give them the moon I
Turks—Give whom the moon!
Europe— Give it to the Serbs! •
Turks— But there are no more Sorbs!
Europe— Let us not discuss- prelimina
ries. You have been asked to give them
the moon; give them the moon. That is
indispensable before wo go any further.
Turks N evertholess
Europe— No "nevertheless” about it;
give them the moon.
Turks— All right. They shall have it.
(Aside.) But how in thunder shall we
manage it ? (Curtain.)
Closing Programme of tlic Centennial
Exhibition.
Philadelphia Press.]
The programme of the closing ex
ercises on Friday, November 10th, is
still in the hands of the special com
mittee of the Commission charged
with its preparation. The features
of the celebration, so far as they have
yet been supplied, cover the delivery
of brief addresses upon the various
branches of ttie work by Mr. Morrell,
chairman of the Executive Commit
tee of the Commission; President
Welsh, for the Board of Finance; Di
rector General Goshorn and Presi
dent Hawley; with vocal and instru
mental music by a volunteer body
composed of some of the best singers
and musicians of Philadelphia, under
the direction of Theodore Thomas,
nearly all of the choral societies of
Philadelphia being represented in
the choruses, which will be rendered
by probably one thousand voices.
The exercises will be held in the
afternoon of Thursday, 9th, in the
center of the Main Building, the
music stand being fitted up as the
platform, with rows of seats to the
number of thirty-five hundred run
ning north to the great organ, and
in easterly and westerly directions
along tho aisles. A chorus will be
stationed in the organ loft, and an
orchestra near the stand. The sing
ing of "America,” by the entire as
semblage, the "Hallelujah” chorus
and "Doxology” will be a part of
of the musical exercises. The Presi
dent of the United States will be
present and make the formal deelar
tion that the Exhibition is closed.
It has not yet been decided whether
the Centennial authorities, with the
invited guests, will proceed in a
body to Machinery Hall, there
stop the great engine at an ap
pointed hour, and then proceed to
the main shaft, or whether the en
gine will be stopped by a telegraphic
signal from the stand during the ex
ercises. During the day 10th artillery
salutes will be fired in the morning,
at noon and at dusk by vessels at the
Navy Yard and a battery on George’s
Hill.
On the evening before the close of
the Exhibition a grand formal dinner
will be given in honor of the foreign
commissioners by the Centennial
Commission and Board of Finance.
The dinner will be entirely of an of
ficial character, and the number of
guests limited to about two hundred.
A grand display of fireworks is ap
pointed for the same evening on
George’s Hill

This incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth;eradicates scurf aud
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
aud judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Bec'y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.]
Richmond, July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is tiie only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft aud pliable. It
baa also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.

Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it. and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim lor it. It is n excellent tonic, a pleasaot
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting aud preserving
the natuial growth and color of the hair, and ren

The following is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
Ail the tarm.-rs were ot'tlio ’’well to do” sort. and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market g irdening, nave grown rich. The soil is loam, varjiug from s indy to eia>* y.
aud surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams aid occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck arc stored, sufficient to fertilize thu whole upland surface, alter it
Las been ex him a ed of its natural fertility. ii>
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
ot the old-’St farms apparently just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
he form of indurated calcareous marl showing many distinct forms of ancient sin 11b, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered ali through the Soil, iu a very comminuted
form, and In the exact condition most easily assimilated by such piauts as the farmer desires W
ultivate.
