Al though the conference did not end in a definite understanding, it lias nevertheless been, demonstrated that the Turkish Government was and is ready to participate in suyh wishes of the powers as can be re conciled with existing treaties, international law and the exigcn cies of the sitigjpio#. The speech concludes as follows : “My gov ernment has constantly on in a ny proofs of sincerity and modera tion which will aid in drawing clo ser the bonds of friendship and sympathy that unite us with the great European family." anarchy Tnßoronorr thk kaHmimi The Vienna Times publishes a letter from its Eera correspondent which contains the following: Dark tales of Mussulman viie lence and rapilie cont inuef o roueii us lrom many provinces,especial lv Bulgaria, Macedonia and Ai banta, where public security eith er on the highway or in isolated houses or small hamlets seems al together at an end.

The Standard's Cnusiautiiiojjio letter says: The scheme submitted by Uol. Valentine Baker for the formation of 60,000 gendarmeries is a good one, if he be permitted to carry it out, but I have little hope that the men in power will give him the requisite support. The polit ical situation is unimproved; ihe government is powerless to allay popular excitement against Mon tenegro and Russia. in the inte rior of the empire the government is so lamentably weak that it can not repress the evil or protect t he good. Though Gen. Jgnatieulf is no longer here, his policy is being carried out by his agents precise ly as if he were here to give them direction. A correspondent of the dimes writes from Pent, under dat e of March 13, that there are 3,000 softasin Constantinople well arm ed and ready for any movement. It is said the leader of the* haifa! ion of softas, who fought against the Serbians dun'ngbhe late war, is among the persons recently ar rested. The same correspondent, on March 16, writes that several highly distinguished European of ficers, who have long been dili gently investigating the strength of the Turkish army, state that t lie official estimates are vast ly exag gerated. The Turks really have on the Danubian frontier and -in Bosnia and Herzegovina 150,000 men, with, what seems hardly ere ilible, 225 cannon. This force they are preparing to strengthen with a reserve of 25,000 mem They have on the Asiatic frontier about 75,000 men and 120 cannon. A! together their army numbers a bout 259,000 men.

Senator (fonUur, of Geor gia,’ and Attorney General Con ner, of South ( ’arolina, had an in terview with the president by appointment; ibis afternoon. The conversation was of a free and general character. It rela ted primarily to the question as to the probable co Ai< iu of the state in the case the troops be Avithdrawn. The points urged by (lovernor HaiUpton and hisfriends were as follows: First, that there is an imperative necessity for speedy action as the planting in terests of South Cardlma are in absolute danger of destruction by reason of the present, unsettled stafe of a Hairs, the Tabor system heing'noAv in process of disintegra tion, and although tJie.seaton for planting is already at hand, tiiej planters are unable, as heretofore,' to obtain advances of money from, merchants and factors, and this; disastrous slate of. allairs they [ said would continue until some stable form-of government shall have !>een,oa>utl>lis!ieil. • In short, business is paralyzed and credit ; almost entirely destroyed thro*- out the state in consequence of its present unsettled condition. Another reason for the speedy j act ioil urged ny these gentlemen was that carpet -baggers and others inters sled in the pgrpetu ! ati,on pf tlie ChamlieiTin' rule were constaiifiy inciting riots and <|is i atlectiion, and the most assidibiis | care and l'otbearance had to be exercised t up|fopen ; lreu.ch es of tlk p.ii.biu* peaciS U'G*Vver !-present danger being that they might become general 'hiwl/'HoVt the state.

HoiU governors now having been heard, no action will be taken until after the most mature consideration: This is author itatively stated in contradiction of the reports that action had t been taken to-day. The Cbasleston commission had an interview with the president gl. 5 p.m., and the precarious con dition of the agricultural and commercia l ail airs were fully ex plained by. Messrs., Bee, Tupper, I’elzer and others; all of whom i insisted, on the necessity of im lueilijite action, in interest of the i whites as much as tlie blacks.— l ife president explained-that de , ia.yjn appointing the cabinet, and ; exigencies in civil service had prevented - earlier attention to .Smith.

The Pawhuska fmTiun Journal reports the exhistence of the re | tithinS of an ancient Indian vil lage at Paragoona, IT. TANARUS., with : Ivime implements and kitchen u } tonsils scattered about in profu sion. This woVild not be over-in teresting as a piece of news were it not accompanied Aytfli a legend ! of tfie village and its former in habitantswhich, according to the trustworthy authority we quote, is commonly accepted as true a mongthe Indians of the neighbor- I hood. The legend runs that this village was once inhabited by a band of gigantic beings who were too promt to associate with the i Sioux and Shoshonees and other red men, and looked down upon i them with contempt because they .believed in supernatural exis tence and in one Great Spirit }■-above all. These arrogant, villa- I gers* boasted of authentic tradi n'ops of a tiruV when their tribe had feet as nimble as thyir hands, and toes like lingdft*,'Avith tails ; which would have delighted Lord Almiboddo and our moderrcw Dar winists, they were so plainly to ho seo-n. Upon the strengtli of those traditions they scouted the \ iifgur superstitions of a hereaf ter. and might often be observed, of a calm evening, sitting on the tops of their lints making faces at the starry heavens above them, and tapping angrily Avith their tails and throwing stones and mud at less enlightened bipeds who happened to venture into their village. Time wore on, and the blasphemies of these villagers became, so unbearable that once a tiin(- a .delegation j&oni Uve Spirit Vforld swooped down upon them and incontinently bore them away between two suns,-, leaving nothing behind them hut their peculiar buildings with a hole in the roof, and a strong smell of sulpher which op pressed the neighborhood for 1 months. In the general outlines of this story the Pawhuska fndianJour j vtt! may be, and probablyis, ac ! curate enough. The legend of man’s descent from the lower an imal'-: is by no means of modern !or scientific origin. It, has found favor all over the Avorld, and in i all ages, and may Avell have had it* ijn-ungs on this-Continent also. Rut there are incredible features in the account, it is a matter of I history and of every-day observa tion that no persons who believe in this legend now, or ever did believe in if, are now or ever I were arrogant and aggressive in I the assertion of their views.— This is natural enough. The the ! dry if self is of a nature to tone down man’s natural pjide, by ! showing him his blood-relation -1 ship to the ass, ih<* goose, the ser pent, the goat and tlie swine.— ['the quietness and humility and deprecatory ways of such men in our own time, for example, as Profe-sor Huxley, Dr. Buchner, Prole- -or Haeckel, are their most -Inning characteristics. Every -1 bod a must have been struck by 1 tire almo-t timid manner in which Darwin presents his views, and if, in reading hi- books, anybody fail - to note this characteristic on ' every pare, he mays rest assured tbat fin fault i- his own. It is notorious in England that if an Archbishop ever walks away with 1 oho of Professor Iltixley’a argu mentative coats, the Professor in ’s ntly run after him and begs that he will kindly take his cloak also. If he is buffeted by a rural dean on one cheek, he turns the other with so sweet a humility that the angry churchman is at once disarmed, fetches his shovel hat full of hot coals and begs the Professor to heap them on his of fending head. The case is the same with the learned and obese little author of “Kraft und Stoff,” Dr. Ludwig Buchner, namely of whom it is known all over Ger many that he always takes off his hat when he happens to pass a church, or even to meet a bea dle iothe street, and who has never been so much as suspected of shying stones at the stained glass windows in the rear of the sacred edifiops, as some persons, not scientist*) take delight in do ing when the sexton is out of the way. Such circumstances as these move us ti> hesitate about iccept ing more than the main outlines of the legend .given to us by the Indian JourtH *L Of course, we do not for one matant doubt that the spirits really flew away with these primative Darwinists, but the motives which urged them to do so have been misunderstood. They thought such beings entirely too good for this world, and snatch ed them hence, lest in future ages they should develop into “human its,” and give Sunday evening lectures on the “New Ideal” to callow and ungifdled intellects with whom, at last, all in a heap, they might topple off into the outer darkness and unprofitable swish of spiritual wish-wash and twaddle. MOP A man named Hell died recently in Salt Lake City. Bro ther Brigham and the other Mor mon leaders do not mourn for him very much, striving, as they do, to find consolation in the thought that although Hell cannot come back to them, yet they shall all go to Hell.
