London advices under date of July 1 lith say that the congress has resolved that an urgent recommendation, virtu ally amounting to a command, should be made to the sultan to institute an international financial commission to guard tin' rights of holders of Turkish bonds and to regulate finances. It was also decided that the commission should immediately proceed to investigate the disorders in the Rhodopedislric. OKKKCK.

Berlin advices to the Toiuiou VVwicaof I the 11th, say that it is not true (hat I France haa asked Russia whether she ] would not prefer to give up the idea of Asiatic annexation rather than see the Anglo-Tnrkish treaty carried out. It is understood in France that Kngland oc cupied Cyprus instead of Kgypt, al though strongly urged to take the latter course, because -he did not wish to dis turb her good relations with France. Lord Beaconslield, at Tuesday’s sitting, said he was convinced that the results of the congress would he highly gratifying to Europe, and that this happy result was due to the persistent and devoted efforts of its illustrious president. The Con gress has already read fifty articles of the treaty of peace. At Wednesday’s sitting the question ipf enforcing the treaty was discussed. Prince Bismarck pointed out that there could he no question of collective action, as the powers were interested in such differ ent degrees The congrees resolved that the respective powers should charge their ambassadors and consuls to watch over the execution of the 1 clauses in which they are interested.

A harrol of glass i halls was hrought upon tho ground, and his agent, having sorted thorn, throw or lo up in tho air. It was instantly hrokon hy (ho Doctor's ride-shot. Allot ahont a do/.on praolioo shots ho sottlod down to work. The first iU'in was breaking as mum balls as he could out of a hundred. Tin* balls won' thrown up slowly. In the first tliteen ‘lnas bo missed two: iu tlu> uoxt three onlv out', atul then soorotl tif tot'uon a run. Ho made ft out of tlu* possible 100. lit* thou fired at balls thrown repeatedly iu tin* air, using oul\ tho right arm. Hi* broko several. Trade dollars wort* thrown thou.

It was thrown up in tho air by his owner and it oaiuo down with tho hoiul missing. This shot was vigorously applauded. Quarter dollar piooos worn thou taken uo. Thoir ow ners wanted tho doctor to mark thorn as souvenirs of tin* mooting. They were thrown up ami were struok almost in every ease on tho first at tempt by a bullet from tin* unerring rillo. Even livo-oont niokol piooos Dr. Carver hit with equal accuracy, and Texas Jack, to further lost his skill, col lected some small boards and throw tin m up. 'The doctor hit thorn and with a second shot struck the splinters before they reached tho ground. The Doctor was next asked to show in how short a time ho could break lUO class balls. His attendant began to throw them up at a terrific rate. The Doctor tired away steadily, and never dropped his rillo from his shoulder ex cept to charge for about two seconds on om occasion. The wind was blowing rather strongly across the range and considerable dust was living; the heat was also oppressive. When he had tired his PJiM shot the order to slop was given. It was found that he had look en bIS balls in 1! minutes and oil seconds. 'This was regarded as a wonderful feat, under the eireiinistanoes, and he was warmly applauded, especially by a parly of (’nbans, who were on the ground and who manifest much in terest in the exhibition. A I all was thrown from a distance of thirty yards straight at. tin* marksman. The first two shots missed, but the third broke the ball, and lie repealed the feat several limes afterwards in succession, to the fast bowling of Texas Jack, lb' then made one of bis most wonderful shots that of breaking two balls thrown into the air at the same time, lie made several misses in attempting this shot, but ultimately accomplished the feat, and repeated it a number of times in succession. A metal ball weighing a cpiarter of a pound and having a bell inside which rang when it was struck was afterward thrown. The doctor hit it twice before it touched the ground, (Jn one occasion the ball was thrown right over the heads of (be spectators. The Doctor, seeing the danger, did not shoot, and ordered the crowd to get out of the way. The ball struck a Brook lyn boy named John Khowback in the back of tin* head, knocking him uncons cious and inflicting an ugly wound. Af ter this Dr. Carver made some fancy shots, bitting neannls and ginger snaps. •A in' York World. Where and What t ypnis Is.

This belief was eur rent through many ages. Matthew I’aris relates (he story of a miserly Ven tinn, nanieil Vilalis who was nseneil from a terrible death having fallen into a pit in which were a lion and a serpent by a. wooitenller, In whom he promised half his pronerly for this de liveranee. The lion and (In’serpent, who lake advantage of the ladder by which Vilalis is brought to the surface, also testify their gratitude to the wood enlter by crunching at his feet. While the poor man is having his humble re past in his little hnl, the lion enters with a dead goal as a present. The serpent also enters, bringing in his month a precious stone, which ho lays m the countryman's plate, lie next goes to Venice, and Ilia's Vilalis in his palace, feasting with his neighbors in joy for his deliverance. On being re minded of his promise, the rich man denies having seen the woodcutter, and orders his servants to east him into prison; lint before 'his could he aHi’eli'd tin l rustic, escapes, and tells his story to the judges 'of the city. At first they are incredulous; hnl on showing the jewel, and proving further tin’ truth by conducting them to the dens of the lion and tin* serpent, where the animals again fawn on their hencfaelor, Vilalis is compelled to perform his promise. In Timherlake'a Discourse of the Travels of two Knglish i'llgrims to Je rusalem, (iiza, etc., Kill, we find an limnin': of a great jewel which was taken from a serpents head, and used in conjuring. In Alplionso's ('lerieal is Diseiplina a serpent is mentioned with eyes of real jacinth. In the romantic history of Alexander, he is said lo have found serpents in the vale of Jordan “ with collars of huge emeralds grow ing on their hacks.’’ Allusion to serpent-stones arc fre client in the early writers. We read in the tii’sla liomanornm that the Km peror Theodosius the blind ordained that the cause of any injured person should he heard on Ins ringing a hell, which was placed in a public part of his palace. A serpent hud a nest near the spot where the hell-rope hung, in the absence of the serpent a toad look pos session of her nest; the serpent, twist ing itself around the rope, rang the hell for justice, and by the emperor’s spec al command the toad was killed. A few days afterward, as the emperor was reposing on his conch, the serpent en tered tin- chamber, hearing a precious stone in its mouth, and, crawling up to the emperor’s face, laid it on his eyes, and glided out of the apartment; the monarch was immediately restored to sight. li is suggested that tin’ best use the government can make of Alaska is to turn it into a penal colony under strong military supervision, and let the slates abolish their penitentiaries and send thither their criminals sentenced to life imprisonment, to he set to work.- ]{(* hi xh r I'nimi.
