And in this policy she has deen actuated by views 80 Oxpamded as to carry on even the Turkish traimc between Constantinopis and the Northern Turkish ports of Asin Minor, The ‘Turkish goverumenthas never had the energy to start «a Une from its capital to rum along tho shores ef the Black Seca, and thus tap the ports under the protection of the Crescent, Even the mailsof the Porte andthe persons of {ts ofiicials ure conveyed from Stgmboul to Trebizond and other Turkish ports in Russian steamers. Then Russia has censtantly labored to improve her internal communications 8» ag to throw the «produce of the whole Sonthern conutry into Odessa. Railroads have been so systematized as to concentrate there; the custom houses and her ex+ tensive official hierarchy have been purged of tho corruption which formerly made them the terror of foreigners, and alien merchants havo found that no effort is spared to redress any grievance nuder which they labor. Unfortunately, there are no complete sta- tustios of the entire trade of the Black Sea, so we are unable to express in figures the exact story of the rapid pregress which this wise and gen- ereus policy has brought about. Thetwe chief ports, | Odessa and Trebizond, however—the one Russian andthe other Furkish—display the truth with sufi cient eraphasis. Odessa in. 1850 was estimated at only 80,000 population; im 1870 it 1s sald to contain 180,000 inhabitant#. “Trebizond has made even grander strides, and now boasts 40,000 inhabitants, in this prosperity the ‘whole civilized world shares, Certainly, when it is seen how largely Russia has been the author of such immense material and again, how Turkey has done absolutely nothing toward it, but tosupinely leok on in complacent in- Goience, taere can be but Little doubt about the ab- stract justice ef placing these two Powers upon a | aval equality. . rice sy . THE BLACK SRA. ~ Some few particulars 43 Lottie character and trade of these seas will be of interest. The Black Sen, or agit was called in ancient times, the Buxine, is about 700 mites In length with an average breadth of $30, It 1s said to receive one-third of all the ranning waters of Europe, and it 1s very much less salt than the Mediterranean. Like the latter, it has no per- ceptib's tide, Fora long time it was believed to Nave a bigher level than the Sea of Marmora, a fact thas would have demonstrated that it flowed into the Mediterranean. A scientific board of inquiry demonsirated, however, that the levels of the two Gre identical, and itis still a matter of deubt where the immense volumes of water it annually receives are absorbed, Evaporation, which is very active under the influence of a fleree South Russian sun, is the only satisfactory solution of the Problem left us. The Black Sea 1s very deep, varying along the shores from four to foriys eight fathoms, while in the centre no soundings nave yet been found. It takes its name not froin the color of its waters, but frou the sombre tints of the thick forests which fringe its shores, or, peruaps, 3 some have conjectured, from tho glootiy, leadoa sky Which forms its almost constant canopy. It has | but ene large bay, and its ports, though Suilicientiy numerous, are mot very secure. Ms navigatien, though imperiled occastonally by severe storms, 13 by Ro means dangereus, as it 18 singularly free from | Tocks and shoals, ‘the shores on the northeast, | eaatand southwest are formed by a bold chain of | Tugged clits, averaging 100 feet in height, but on the north and northwest the coastttie is scarcely elo. Vated sbove the teveheftic water. NICOLABY, Wliere, according to recent cable despatches, a considerable naval jorce is now being con- centrated, is siiuated en the angie fermed by the copfuence of the Bug and the Ingoul, about forty six miles from the Black Sea. It was founded by Catharine in 1789 and speedily ress to impertauce, ‘and in the Crimean war no less than 187 armed ves- sels were gathered before 1t, sixteen of which were frigates. But the treaty of 1856 indirectly disarmed ir, and the present concentration of armed vessels at this place is a clear violation of the provisions of the treaty. THE SEA OF AZOF, cennected with it by the narrow straits of Yenikale, is much smaller, being only about 168 miles long and eighty broad. Its waters are fresh and abound with fish, but are very shallow, and fall of towards the west into huge marshes, which have been aptly | Bamed the Putrid Sea, It ts of comparatively little importance fer purpeses of navigation, though it has several ports aud roadsteads. Its chief indua- try is Its Hsheries, and next to the Danube it is the most tertile source ef the famed caviar. All the shores washed by the Black Sea have within the last aecade made rapid strides in the path of material and industrial development. Tho entire Russian coast {is annually growing in population, wealth and importance. Odessa, how- ever, bids fair to absorb) neariy all the trade. 16 chiefly exports wiecat, tallow, ides, wool and leather, and takes in return the products of all parts of manulacturiug Europe, The southern shore, comprising the northern lime of Asia Minor, has also been quickened into an activity which bids fair to bring it up to Its ancient prosperity. Sam- goon and Trebizond are the principal ports, and are now rapidly becoming gatea threugh which the trade of Persia, Armenia and Central Asia can flow to Europe. The local preducts are not very im- portant, chiefy consisting of woo!, Aldes and bread- siuits. The TERRITORIAL BXPANSION.

An absurd ramor has been mentioned as prevailing in England that Rossta, in the event of a war, would therefore commission American cruisers; but as. they would then become Russian and cease to be American, and as Russia has agreed to the abolition of privateering, the story 1s ridiculous on its very face.

Whether the agitation of the probabilities of a.war. in Europe, imvolving the sacrifice ef the peace of Turkey, had anything or not te do with the celebra- Won‘ of the great torkey-feasting day.in Brooklyn is an open question; but it is certain that never here- tofore, in the memory of the most antiquated rest- Gent, has so large a number of allies of turkey been noted in that city. The Ottoman empire may well feel proud of the honor which. will be aone her to-day in tne patronage bestowed by Americans upon the fowl from which she derives her cegno- men, Grease, too, as a necessary accompaniment of the Oriental bird, bids fair to be laviahly endowed and endorsed by the domestic circles of Columbia. The “Pope's nose’ will be twitched to-day with @ vengeance by men of all, denominations i this goodly “City of Churches.” Everybody eats turkey here to-day. Evem the men whose ways are dark and whose deeds are pecullar—the “heathen Chinee”—will leave off their well-beloved Tat and puppy dog soup and try the breast or drum stlok of that inevitable dish of “the Jand of the free and the home of the brave’—the turkey.

His field Is no small one either. If once 4 certain great and good divine’s parish was the world, this man’s scene of operations, on the other hand, 1s limited only by the groat oceans which surround the Western Continent. He has traveliod FROM PORTLAND TO SAN FRANOISUO with impunity, and has been feted and feasted with all the compliments that could well. have beon .be- stowed on an eyually prominent railroad man. Yet this individual, 60 far as known, was never con- nected with any railroad Som pay, Gt atl, either as part owner or even employé. A giance fora few moments at his manceuyres may bo of mterest; and ju order that we may do so the more intelligent vrief description of hia person not be oul zee here. He is represented as yom aman + fee years of age, about tive fect nine inches high, gray eyes, grayish hair, dark complexion, no beard, weighs about 180 pounds, is a fast and of course & glib talker, and not only alleges ne is J.

Kime, has not ‘been off the line of the Northern Central Rallway this year, ‘ THE FIRST INTIMATION the Northern Central Railway Company had of the old rogue was contained in @ letter from the Fal- mouth Hotel, Portland, Me., dated the 24th of Au- | wet peedllaere rietor of the hotel, P.

The ticket enclosed ia an imitation of a conduc- tor’s check, sometimes used on the railway, the printing being on green card board, of the usual #1ze, purporting to have been issued by “J. L. Kime, Conductor, Northern Central Raliway.” Any ono acquainted with the road on examining one of these cards would at once have perceived that there was something wrong abont it, for on the back “Par ton” reads “Parkston,’”” “Harrisburg” is steed bie 8 final “h,” and “Selinagrove” reads ‘Selina rove. Mr. Lotharte, however, made # short stay on tha Atlantic coast, and before the proprietor of the qoecoe could be notified of the real character of ig guest he had departed. He must have immedi ately booked bimself as 4 THROUGH PASSENGER, for when the next information came to the company their very assuming friend had been to California and back, ‘njoying the richest of feasts and dances at different points on his Journey, gotten up fa honor of the “veteran” cenductor of one of Pennsylvania's reat railways, All of these he doubticss dignified By his presence and graced with many startling adventures and amusing incidents on a road that he probably never travelled over in his life. Emboldened byinis suicceases, he goes from place to mboldent is sticcesses, he g place; ‘cheeks’? railroad officials out of car fare, and with a brazenness never assed in his pecn- Mar line tenders his counterfeit conductor’s checks in return for hotel bills. But this is not all—the cur- tain hiding his infamous course is hardly raised yet. His continued successes increase his assurance that all is going well, and will necessarily continue to zo well, With these thoughts: in his mind he some- where picked up @ female, whom he immediately made A TRAVELLING COMPANION.
