A bill "for tho abolition of bar
maids," says The London Telegrnph,
sounds liko a ioko from "Alico in

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

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.

erties so largo tint thoy may oven bo
eoino mnids-of-all-work without much
loss or possibly tho marriage inarkot

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

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

"shoruf" for shot-ill".
"What's wrong wid ilat not is?"
asked tliu coiorod man in a very edgy

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
