Isn't it sad and deplorable, the ignorance tnat crops oat ana comes to tne snriaee now and then? And we don't have to go to "DarK est Alrica" to find it either. Why only one evening last week, we stood on the Opera House corner in the eniignteneu ana cultured town of Dnnbury when a middle aged man, a real bright looking man, with a crease In bU trouser lens too, stepped up and says, "Say, Where's llawley villa?" Well now it he had squirted a double dose ot"knocker-out-drops" riht squarely in our lace and eyes our paral yses could not have been more complete. We stood and looked at that man until one sus pemler button burst from its socket and then we looked at him again to make sure that he was in real earnest and not a joker. Could it be possible that this question could be asked in all seriousness and in straight finglish, in this day ol enlightenment when every school boy in the land can tell you where the baboon sprang trom and can locate the source and mouth of the Columbia river, and repeat in all its detail the story where truth and verao tty and George Washington's litt!e hatchet and a certain cherry tree got mixed np to- ether, etc., etc , and this to happen right ere in the streets of Danbury. Proud old Danbury with her magnificent public library and unparalleled system of public,private and high schools, and sewing societies and othgi kindred bureaus ot information. The town ot all towns where every man, women and child is supposed to be chock lull ot knowledge, and all the latest ideas on hats, and able to solve everything from the knotty problems ol Euclid, of Sociology, Theology, Oeology, and the intricate mysteries ol the planetary system down to the common place easier questions of just how much more care and motherly solicitude a ben is taught by in stinct to exercise during 4he batching period over "Western limed" than over "Jresh laid near bys"; or Just when a pi ceases to be a pig and becomes a hog. We all know just wheii this transformation takes place in a man, but it is much more difficult to deter mine its date in a pig. And this question to be put straight at US, of all others who have for the past three years been repeatedly and most persistently calling attention to Ha wley ville and parting back the tall grass with our own hands that you might be able to see her. Do you wonder that -we were staggered and paralyzed and had to grasp the corner ot the Opera House ior support, and let a bystander answer ior us, and what do yon think he said why he simply looked aghast and said. 'dam phirio," or -some similar sounding foreign word, and passed on, and do you wonder that at this juncture everything tunfed black and we saw sars and passed into a kind of semi conscious state, and the electric lights flick ered and burned green, and the trolley cars stopped, and the opera bouse seemed totter ing upon its base and about ready (except for our firm hold npon It) to crash down upon City Hall, and the night lunch wagon, and the soldiers' monument stood at a "charge bayonet" position or like the leaning tower oi Pisa, and Partwell's clothing house ap peared in the firmament -npside down be tween the stars oi the Great Dipper and the town clock struck hurriedly "and ominously five minutes abad ot time, instead oi five minutes behind, as is its custom, and the West streetside walks were Tent in twain (as is their custom) and everything betokened the crack ot doom. When we came to, the electric lights were burning brightly and the man had passed on, or else been swallowed up in the sidewalk, and we were glad tor his second qnestion would undoubtedly have been "Who is president now?" and if "we tcew anything about Baker's furniture estao lisbment or where it was to be found," and then we should undoubtedly have dropped dead in our tracks. Now we started out with tne Idea of calling attention to some things at llawleyville but we struck the Gulf Stream and drifted from our course, so when you come to Hawleyville as we know yon will be fore you aeciue to ouy mucu iurniture, we shall take all the more -pains to show von through our very complete line ot furniture. mattings, carpets, Daoy carriages ana refrig erators and our low prices. We have no snap" bargains or "leaders" as they are in nocently called, but we have good, sanare. consistent, uniform prices, irom top to base ment, and all based on the smallast expenses we believe ot any furniture concern, oi our size in the state. . .- .; .

But on board our ship was a large detachment of that branch of the genus homo, in politics po litely known as recalcitrant?, in every day English known as kickers. These kickers found out that the uem Bis marck, "a ship of the 'iamburg-American line carrying a party of tourists, had out flanked the quarantine scheme by sailing direct from Athens to Constantinople. Therefore, they reasoned that what one ship could do another ship could do just as well. So the kickers held an "indig nation meeting" in the dining-Paloon one evening and they kicked against Mr Clark, the conductor of the expedition, and they kicked against the captain, and tney KicKed against every Doay ana every thing that came in their way. The result of ali this stirring up of the dust was that our ship's prow was turned toward Con stantinople. ; it turned out that the ' quarantine against Constantinople was all a political quostinu and was an affair between big Turkey and little Oicrce alone.f THESE TWO NATIONS LOVE EACH OTHER about Tas much as some-dogs do some; cats; '. in fact, Greece has had no - use whatever for Turkey aince the .time when the .little king dom was struggling for her independence, and America, whose very winds breathe liberty, catue to her assistance. Kow Greece puts a quarantine against vessels sailing from Turkish ports whenever she can trump np the shadow Of an excuse, and "Turkey returns the eompliment and is not particular aDout getting tne returns altogether even: ' At this time there, was a faint suspicion that -there -might be a case . of cholera in Constantinople, so Greece declared quarantine. We could go from Athens to Constantinople, but eould not go- from- Constantinople to Ath ens : our conductor switched his itinerary rouna ana caugnc tne'wuy urees in nis game- We found no cholera ia the Porte's capital and none of our part; has died from it since there is more than one way to kill a cat. . t . Justin the nick of time,. a lew minutes before sunset on Suhiday evening, March 16, we slipped by the Turkish quarantine station on Xbe Dardanelles, and on our appearance on deck the next) morning found ourselves ancnorea in tne Deaatuui BosphoruSv. ready to go. ashore. How manv times do I remember in schooi-Doy days, biting deep holes into "the end of my lead pencil as l grew warm over tne geography' examination and attempted an answer to a poser like this '. Through what. waters would you sail in going from Liverpool to Constantinople? The only good way to answer' that . question is to case that voyage on a real snip not on paper ; in no other way can you gain A 'conception of those connecting waters that enchain Constantinople with a silver band. The Straits' of the Dardanelles appear as a beautiful river," pouring be tween steep bank?, here a town and there a fortification ; It is not unlike our Hud oob. Above this is the spreading 'sea Of Marmora, ana aoove wis is ine tsospnov rua dividing the continents and bringing down the seething waters ot the Black sea. - The current rushes like torrent, and swirls arid eddies by the-steep sides of your ship as you look down as if it had a great mission wticb must, instant ly be" executed the Teason of this Is that the Black sea is some -eight feet- higher than the sea of Marmora beiow-i BUT THE BEAUTY OF CONSTANTINOPLE lies iust here, as you view it ml coming up the Boephorus or while lean tog upon the rail of the ship, it is decidedly city where distance' lends 'enchantment to-the view, for there isno fairer city -in the world to behold from afar: but. walk ing through the streets, you find them narrow and-steep and rocky -and dirty and wonder where -the-beauty emanated which you saw from the ship.

I can see some reason for that,- the bird is so tame and beautiful; but why the dog should be sacred too, as it is, that is a stickler. And yet I have heard a reason assigned; take it for what it is worth. The dogs are the self-appointet -v- engers-for. the -HW; ,;.T"itr-streets are dirty.

If tne refuse .were, allowed to lie . and reek forth its foulness, plagues would break: out oftener than they do; but the dogs take the business into their own hands or paws and act as a board of health' patrol. When these canines make their teurs ot inspection I do not know, as through all the day that we spent In the city every dog waa sleeping, and its profound slumber was not in the least disturbed as we trod over its body or stepped upon Its tail. - Constantinople Doasts tne Mosque oi &s Sophia.

Here and there, too, the Moslem gilding poor ly conceals the forms of angel, saint ana Saviour; but, thanks be -to God, the Christian religion needs not these fading symbols to keep its remembrance alive. ITS SPIRIT LIVES - in hearts softened by love and lives made perfect through suffering. The mocque of -St Sophia is a monu ment to the. memory of the great Chris tian Emperor Constantine. Begun in the fourth' century, it was -rebuilt and re built by succeeding Koman. Emperors and finished in the sixth century. Fire' and earthquake have not overthrown it; Moslem conqueror ..riding through its courts, his horse's hoofs weltering in the blood of the slain, has not destroyed it.
