the roon iuiuum. A Curious mil Now lVnilliisr Hofnro thn Par- llntiifiit of Victoria "peklnc to M.ikl It JUckiU to llmploy llnrinalus lti 1'iibllc IIoiii b Lia ble to llpconic a liW, A bill "for tho abolition of bar maids," says The London Telegrnph, sounds liko a ioko from "Alico in Wondorlund," or from ono of Air. Oilbort's burlosquoa. Nevertheless it is a serious logislativo proposal now ponding boforo tiio parliament of Vic torhi. It is actually in print, and makus it penal for any koopor ot a public liouso to employ wotnon bohind tho counter. Of course, tiio advocates of litis astonishing idea have thuir ar guments. Thoy do not go quite so far us Sir Wilfrid avson, who would dis establish not only barmaids, but bar men and bars; they would not shut up all dramshops, but lliey would make them as dreary as possible, so as to repot impressionable young men. In (Jothcnborg tho spiritdrinkor is served by a policeman, who keeps an eagle oyo upon him that hn may know liiui again, and refuse him a "second glass if ho asks for it belore a certain inter val has expired. The Victorian re formers have a corresponding idoa of diminishing the attractions of intoxi cation by surrounding the initial Hinges with repellent rather than en ticing accessories. Instead of tho otnllilig 1 lobes who have faeiuated the golden youth of the colony, men will isorvJ as tnnstors, and without note or comment hand across the counter tliu required draught. Tho eileet m.iy bo considerable, as male drinkers do un doubtedly take a delight in the picas ant looks and bright talk of tho voting liidios wlio. as tiio i'teneli say, ' pro Hide1' at these establishments, lint should not the Victorian apostles of abstinenco iro furthor? It is well to replace "iris by men, and thus subdue tho bar to masculine dullness, but could not tho act of parliament go on to declare that none save plain, grim vlsn;:cd should bo tolloratcd its assist tints? The most inveterate toper might hesitate to outer twice It lie wore al ways met by tint ugly sispoet ot some dark, forbidding countenance- A kind of competition might take place for tho posts, which might be given to the mon repulsive people the govern ment could select. Fearful squints would bo at a premium; seowis would be valued according to their hlackucsi ami dopth; a ghastly grin would bo dusirablo; while a froner.il cadavor ousness mlirlit bo uiili.ed in hii irirost ing to drunkards the probable otid of llieir career, ilto lods ol uiyinpus laughed loudly when tho swart, tin galtily Vulcan for onco replaced Hebe as their cup bearer. It would be no jokq for tho young idlers of Molbourno lo lind stern, grim men irowumg over tho counters where onco tlioy were re ceived with "noils and becKS and wreathed smiles. Wo presumo that tlioro must bo "mashers" in Victoria, for tho -mush-bi" is tiio groat cause of the barmaid. Just as Darwin lias told us how '.lie absence or presence of curtain insects determines Jio dying-out or growtli of certain Mowers, so it may me sad that, until there arose a class of young men to whom lounging across a bar and talking lo a young lady seemed tho supremo loliaity ot life, llio existence of barmaids could not bo 3iistaiuod. In primitive times and m primitive pliiees men served men, who silently took tlioir glass, and as silently stole away. Thou canto a Columbus of pub lic houses, wh.i pondered over tho problem how to retain those transitory visitors. Suddenly it Hashed across him that there were young men "whose only books were women's looks," and "who could be drawn ami fotaiitod by a library of such volumes prettily "bound," an. I oll'ered for in spection. Thou the desired result was secured. Tho youngster who came for ono glass roina tuil for two. To see some young ladles is to atliniro tlioin; to admire Is to address thorn. Talking and laughing are dry work, when the most dumfouuded young man when at a tons for a now remark can always keep the ball rolling by asking for iinolnor drink. Some philosophers iipiuo that it was not the "masher" who caused tho barmaid, but the bar maid lias, so to speak, developed tho "ina-hor." This is probably tho idea ot the Victorians. They are followers of Sir Wilfrid in a limited way. Ho believes that if tlioro was no strong iriukiug there would bo no vice; they btdlovo that if thuro woro no bar maids there would bo no strong drinks. Tluy foraou a bright future all tho (riVwlous youth of the colony turned aw n' from saloons ami bars, pursuing not cottulor-wenelios, but noble aims, tin. I devoting to stock-raising, gold digging, or money-making tho hours now wasted on giggling girls. Wo only hope that this bright anticipation will bo ftilllllotl; yet wu gravely doubt. Tho barmaid will bo turned out of work, all on account of her too potent inlliioiiro over young mon, and tho "masher" must eoaso to clinic to that bar which hitherto hits principally supported his youthful ami attenuated form. Ilur- maid and "masher," however, will still exist; tlioy will live in the same colony; there is no law lorbldd ng them lo moot on sidewalks or at festivities; while starv ng girls deprived of their only moans of livelihood, can say with truth lo every mashur they meet: "Hut for you 1 might still be 'drawing beer nttho lied Lion or smiling sweet at the filuu Hoar. U! why did nattiro make mo so lovely and you so suscep tible?" Snoli an appeal from tho lips of disestablished beauties sunt bogging bftcause they wero too attractive might liavo a very fascinating eirect on young muii deprived at the Name time of thoir accustomed amusements and haunts. Tho colonial legislature should look to it, twul if they puss tlioir act thoy should, wo think, sup plement it by some clause borrowed from old puritan legislation diseotir agiug tho mooting of till young pooplo excoptmg under the supervision of elderly men or parish ollleors. Or a comprehensive scheme for tho expul sion of all Imrninids and all intiGhors to fopiiMto colonies would more thor oughly secure the end In view. Mod erate niouxuros are of no avail when vru neo two such dangers as "blue ruin" and bright eyes combined bo iiind tho samo bar. If, as Victorli thinks, barmaids are tiio origin of ovE and, ns they aro daughters of Evo, perhaps thoy aro tho most thorough anil drastic measures for their cxlir pntion aro tho host, wo may yot roc tho masher and tho barmaid" oxpollod together from tho paradise of Victor io, whore virttto, sobrioty, ond indus try will henceforth roign. Hnnd-in- hand tlioy will go out, and liko otti first parents, drop somo "natural tears" ovor tlioir past dolights "wip ing llioui soon," as they Hit to Eng land or America, lo "hold tlioir heads to othor stars," and resume across other counters, in othor lauds, thoii interrupted philandering. Barmaids aro not only tracoablo to mashers; thoy belong lo our median ical ago. Tho drawor of old, tho pot boy of nearer times, was a strong- armed man or lad who could descend to a cellar, draw Deer, and omorgo balancing a miraculous number of full pots. This was rough, hard, dirty work, not suitable for elegant voting ladies. Somebody, however, invented a means by which a handle pulled on a counter drew up from below the right kind of liquor, and then whito armed I lubes bocamo possibilities. Young women soon learned the tricks of tho trade. As servants tliov found gootl looks little advantage; as bar maids alt tlioir attractions wero part of tlioir ottllit. Othor otnployors frown ed on tlioir "foinalo liands1 wasting timo in talk; but the more a barmaid smiles or chats, or makes the place lively, tho more iter employer values her Horo, thon, was a now profes sion for girls unskilled in any tiling but that plalonie llirtatiou which neatly all women, oven tho mo4 innocent, dearly lovo. Thon tho barmaid lias several advantages ovor her sister of tho samo rank the parlormaid or tho cook. Siio is called "miss;" slio can dress becomingly, and is not obliged to wenr a etip. Hor work is liglitoned by social converse, sometime by anec dotes and jokes; she hoars plenty of eliaH', and sees many faces oomo aml go. On tho othor hand, hor work is very hard. She oan seldom orovorsit down; the hours aro cruelly long, and few can stand it after !10. Tho pay, too, is soldotn high enough to permit saving. It sooins a pit Unit while tho ranks of tills avocation nro overcrowd edfor ovOry vacancy thorn aro ten appIicantH domestic sorvico lias fow competitors. The life of even a liard worked London servant does not in volve ono-fourth of tho plivsical labor of a barmaid's toil, for slio has hor kitekon or pantry to herself and whole hours for rest. Hut thou her timo is raroly quito hor own, and slio misses independence that attaches to tho brighter business. What tho unem ployed girls of Victoria will do wlien turned out nobody seems to know. Out tlioro domestic servants havo lib erties so largo tint thoy may oven bo eoino mnids-of-all-work without much loss or possibly tho marriage inarkot may absorb them in a community whore men aro in tho majority, and therefore can not all command "wives. The banished barmaids may, therefore, become tho happy mothers of future generations who will solve the social problems with the light hearts of their male ancestor, the Australian "mash er." A Judgo Who Ctivoil. As wo rodo out from a town in Mis sissippi to view a plantation a com mercial traveler for a rsow l ork house expressed a dodro to go along. He procured a horse and joined the party, and his company was welcomed. A mile and a half from town wo came lo a written notice, posted on a board, anil every body stopped to road it. It was a notice of shorill''s sale, and tho colored man who tacked it up was still on tho ground. The notice was badly written and worse spelled, and tho drummer laughed loud and long over oaf" for calf, "dot" for debt, and "shoruf" for shot-ill". "What's wrong wid ilat not is?" asked tliu coiorod man in a very edgy voice. "It's too funny for anything," was tliu reply. "Someone had better go to school." "Dnt's me, sail.

"Contempt of court, sah! Cotuo right along." "Wherof" "Hofo' do .Ittstiss, snli! Wo'll soo about dat oaf!" The drummer was advised against resistance ami linally permitted him self to be taken before a colored .lus- tioo nearly two tulles from tho spot. Tho Constable had picked up a color ed man on tho way, who made and swore to a complaint, and tho drum mer was duly arraigned on tho charge, although his Honor seemed very un easy about it. 1 no t'oionol ueteti as counsel for tho prisoner.

A Usarper on tho Throne and In Constant i'enr of Death rrocro3Slvc, nnil Anxi ous to Introiluco Modern Inventions- A Visit to tlfc Mosque. Abdul Hamid, tiio reigning sultan of Turkey, is 37 years old. Ho is about tho medium height, wears a full beard after tho manner of tho cast, has a rather prominent nose, dark eyes and complexion, and a slight ligure. Tor an Oriental, writes a' New York Mail and Express correspondent, ho is pro gressive in his opinions, ami would liko to introduce into Turkey soino of tho modern inventions that exist in European cuutilrics. Hitherto, how ever, the ministers of tho sublimo porto, from motives of soltish policv, havo opposed all progress and every Innovation. Audttl iiamiii is very titi- numilar. and is regarded as a usttrnor. When his uncle, the late Sultan Abdul Aziz, was killed, his eldest nepliow Was called to tho tliroito, but owing to ovorexcitoniont lie becamo tempo rarity insane, whereupon his younger brother, Abdul uamiu, assumed the reius of government, promising Hint, should his brother be restored to reason within three months, ho would retire in his favor. His reason was rostored within tho given time, lint the usurper Mill retains the throne, no lives in the constant tear of sharing tho fate of his uncle, who made iimself mi popular by acts of oxtravaganoo and eeceutricitv, which amounted to mad uoss. Ho spent in capricious follies and personal luxuries the enormous sum of 8UU,UUU,()UU l runes a year say $130,000.000. His harem containod two thousand women, an army of cooks and other servants. All the oilier expenses of tho government amounted only to 200,000,000 francs. or WIjO.OJU.UJO. tiio present sultan has to limit his personal expenses lo 00,000,000 francs a year, and he has only 250 wives. His black eunuch, Kislilnr-Agra, enjoys the snug little salary of lit ,00J lranes a your, only little ins! than tho president of the United Slates. hishlar-Agra, hoars tho Horono title of Oardion do la Porto do lit Felieito, and is addrussod us "Son Altosso." He is tliu only person really trusted by the sultan, whom ho at tends on all public occasions. An immemorial custom prevails in tiio east called the Mayloud, the cere mony of the sultan going to the mosque. This occurs everv i'fiday, which is tiio Turkish Sabbath. It is done that the pooplo may know that tlioir emperor is alive and has not fallen by the so cret assassination which lias been the fato of so many of the sultans. The ceremony is attended ny an that splendid' display which pleases tiio Oriental imagination. A glittering guard of ten thousand soldiers, horso and foot, surround the sultan's sacred person, followed bv a retinue ot min isters, viziers, pashas, courtiors, etc The sultan generally rides upon horse back on these occasions, descends at tiio door of tho niosniio, puts on tliu sandals, which aro required of all who enter a I urkish temple, enler.s the sacred edifice, remains about twenty minutes, during which he listens to the reading of passages lront tho Koran, itit! thou returns to the palace. An minimise crowd ot people lines the street thiougii which tho procession passes. Wlion ox-Cov. Stanlord, ot Californ ia, visited Consluntinopo last year tho sultan expressed a wish lo see him. (on. l.ew Wallace, tho American minister, accompanied him to the palace and presented iiim to tho sov ereign. (!ov. Stanford afterward gave me an account of the interview. Ho said Abdul Iiamiii wore a military un dress uniform, witli hut ono decora tion, hut his Mvord blazed witli pre cious stones, lie wore the felt can now almost universal in the cast. The visit was entirely informal, and tho sultan spoke frankly about his wish to make reforms and improvements in tliu material development of Turkey. Ho spoke of the extraordinary pro gress of tiio United Stales in wealth, population, and general development in so short a time, and wished to know how it had been accomplished. Mr. Stanford informed him that in America everything was done to save timoitnd lab.r, and by us ng machin ery one man did tho work of flOO. 'I ho sulliiu next spoke of our railroads and tho part they had taken in building up Hie country. Tho ex-governor replied that tho railroads had done more than anything else toward developing tho west, that wo ran railroads through uiiMitlled territory and Hie population followed the iron horse, and thus towns wore built ami the laud iui proved. The sultan was deeply inter ested in this, and asked how turkey could be improved by a railway ss torn. (Joy, Stanford suggested a lino running from Constantinople to tliu head of the Persian gulf, the construc tion of which should bo begun at both end j at the same time, by which menus it could be liuishml in three or four years. Sitolt a road would draw to Constantinople I ho rich products of the valleys of the Kuphrates and Ti gris, together witli the valuable com merce df the Eust. Indies, and make his capital the great distributing cen ter of Europe and Asia; that city could then gather all tho commerce that now Hows to and from tho east and west through tho Suez canal, it would bo the grand center of exchange between the two hundred millions in Europe and tho three hundred millions in Asia, and passengers could go from London to Hoiubav in nluo das, in stead of three weeks, the time now re quired, Tho sultan was much struck by the idea, and asked tliu governor whether ho would undertake such a work should it ba approved by the council of ministers. Tho govbrnor, without committing himself, said he did not feel inclined In undertake so vast an enterprise at the age of three scores, especially as he had money enough. Dur.ng tho Interview collee was Mirved in oxqulsltu golden cups studded with gems. Tho sultan, though extremely jeal ous of his rights as sovereign, is obliged to oxurciso much prudence in dealing witli tiio mauv nationalities that make up tho Turkish empire. The recent attempt of tho sublimo porto to limit tho privileges of tho Crock church Is a unso in point. These privileges wore conferred by Mohammed II., tho conqueror of Convtuutinoplo, and have been confirmed by ropcated lirinans, and respected during four hundred Years, down to tho present time. Tho privileges wore in general ecclos asti cat iurisdiction ovor all religious mat ters, tliu question of succession and descent as n fleeted by marriage, and tiio control of the Greek public schools. When tho porto attempted to restrict these ancient rights ot tho patriarcli of Constantinople tho latter after protesting in vain, resigned his high dignity and retired to private lifo. Tho attitude of tho government aroused the liveliest indignation among tho live millions of greeks scattered throiiL'h the sultan's dominions in Europe and Asia. A general civil commotion becamo imminent, and lind not Abdul Humid put an immediate stop to the misunderstanding by du dining to accept tho patriarch's resig nation, and reinstating him in till his ancient rights and privileges, a civil war might have takon placo. The Creeks look to such an event as an op portunity to secure tho restoration of the CJreo'k empire, witli its ancient scat in the city of Constantinople. A Neglected Engagement of the War From Mar!: Twain's "Private His toryof a Campaign that railed, m the Centum, wo tako this incident: "For a timo lifo was idly delicious it was perfect; tlioro was nothing to mar it! Thou camo some farmers with an alarm ono day. Tiiov said it was rumored lluit tho enemy wore Ad vancing in our direction, from over Hyde's prairie. Tito result was s sharp stir among us, and general con stornation. It was a rude awaken ing from our pleasant trance. Tho rumor was but a rumor nothing definite about it; so, in the confusion, we did not know which way to retreat. Lv- niati was for not retreating at all, in these uncertain circumstances; lint bu found that if lie tried to maintain that attitude iio would faro badly, for the command were in no humor to put up w.th insubordination. So ho yielded the point and called a council ot war lo consist of himself and tho three other ollicers; but tho privates made such a fuss About being left out, that we had to allow them to be present 1 mean wo had to allow llioui to re main, for tli-uy wore already present, ami doing Hie most of the talking too. The question was, which way to re treat; but all wore so Hurried that no body seemed to havo even a guess to oiler. Exoopfc Lyman. Ho oxpia'ned in a to v calm words, that inasmuch as tho onomy woro approaching from ovor Hyde s prairie, our course was simplo; all wo had to do was not to retreat toward htm; any other direc tion would answer our needs perfect! v. Everybody saw in a moment how true tilts was, and how wise; so Lyman got a great many compliments, ft was now decided that wo should fall back on Mason's farm. It was after dark by this timo, and as we could not know how soon tho enemy might arrive, it did not seem best lo try to tako tho horses and tilings witli us; so wo only took tho guns ami amuitition, ami started at onco. Tho route was very rough and hilly and rockv, ami presently tho night grow very black and rain began lo fall; so wo had a troublesotno timo of it, struggling and .stumbling along in tliu dark; and some person slippod and loll, aud so did the rest, one after the other; and then Howors came witli the keg ot powder m lus arms, whilst tliu command woro all mix ed together, arms and logs, on the muddy slope; and so ho foil, of course, with (lie keg, and this started I lie whole detachmout down tiio hill in a body, and tliev landed in tho brook at tliu bottom in tt pile, and eachth at was undermost pulling tho ha r and scratching aud biting those that woro on top of him; and those that woto being scratched and bitten scratching and biting the rest in their turn, aud till saying they would die before tlioy would ever go to war again if they over got out. ot this brook this tune, and tho invader might rot. for all thoy cared, and the countrv along with hint and all such talk as that, which was dismal lo hear and laku part in, in such smothered, low voices, and such i grisly dark place and so wet, and tho enemy may bo coming any lnoniont. iho keg of powder was lost, and tiio guns too; so tho growling and complaining continued straight along whilst tho brigade pawed around tliu pasty hillside and slopped around lu tho "brook hunting for these things; consequently wo lost considerable time at tins; and then wo heard a sound, and held our breath and listened, and it seemed to be the enoiny coming, though it could havo been a cow, for it had a cough liko a cow; but wo did not wait, but lott a couple of guns be hind and struck out for .Mason's again as brisklv as wo could scramble iloug in tliu dark. Hut wo got lost presently among t10 ruggod little ra vines, and wasted a deal of timu hull ing tho way again, so it was after nine when we reaehed Mason's stilo at last; and then boforo wo could open our mouths to give the countersign, sev eral dogs eatno bounding over the fence, with groat riot and noise, aud eacli of tiiuin look a soldier bv tho slack of his trowsors and begun to back away witli him. Wo could not shoot tho dogs without endangering tho per sons thoy weio attached to; so wo had to look on, helpless, at what was per haps tliu most mortifying spectacle of tliu civil war. Tlioro was light enough, and to spare, for the Masons had now run out on tho porch witli candles in their hands. The old man aud his sou came ami undid the dogs without dihiciility, all but Honor's; but thin couldn't" undo Ids dog, thoy didn't know Ids combination; he was of the bull kind, and seemed to be set with r Yale time-lock; but tlioy got him loost at last with some scalding water, of which Howors got his share and ro turned thanks. 1 eterson Dunlap after wards mado up a tine name for thit engagement, and also for tliu night march which preceded it, but butt havo long ago faded out ot my nem orv. ft li eft!iiiUl tlmt tl!tetn American roll e;i ie keeking ptv dut.
