Midhat Pasha, formerly a power in Turkey ns leader of a reform party, brought about the deposition of Sultan Abdul Aziz. Prince Murad then was proclaimed sultan. Five days later the ex-sultan committed suicide, a fact which was proved by nineteen doctors. Ten days after this tragedy Sultan Murad became Insane and was deposed and Abdul Hamid ascended the throne. Midhat was banished, but was received with so much favor in Europe that the sultan became nervous and recalled him and appointed him governor of Syria. Here he did much good, but found himself called upon to resign In 1880. He next became governor gen eral of Smyrna, but shortly afterward he was arrested with Mehemet Rushdi Pasha and others on a charge of being concerned in the murder of Abdul Aziz. The trial dragged on for months, and Mldhat, with others, was condemned to death, but on the intervention of the English government his sentence was changed to imprisonment for life. Mid hat was sent to Taif, in Arabia, where many attempts were made to poison him. which were frustrated by his serv ant. One night, however, he T\as dragged from his room by some of the sultan’s officials and strangled. lio n S e v e n t y - n i x , Iv y ,, G o t I t » N a m e , liack In Clinton county is a village called Seventy-six. In the midst of the villuge is a waterfall, which greeted the eye of the first frontiersman who went to that part of the state when it was still a part of Virginia. He measured the depth of the full and found It to be seventy-six feet. The accuracy of the measurement has never been called Into question, and the inhabitants of the town to this day have their mails addressed to “Seventy-six, Ivy.” The fall Is of little volume during the sum mer months, but is of great beauty at all times. In the winter it is a roaring cataract, and Indian creek frequently goes upon a rampage. The section was a favorite limiting ground of the In dians in the early days, and the creek derived its name from the number of spearheads and spikes which ore found In the fields around.—Louisville Cou rier-Journal.
