It is not that the Chief eunuch is the repository of the Sultan's secrets, or that he is a counsel whose advice is sought and followed. His Majesty in the first place loves no suggestions, and in the second is apt to regard with great mistrust anything said that does not chime in with his own Ideas, even though it may be in answer to questions put by himself. Beiram Agha's influence does not lie in any such direc tion,
although his power is derived from his position, which gives him the ear of his imperial master. He is an exceedingly shrewd fellow, in spite of his being grossly ignorant as far as general knowledge is concerned, and he understands well how to let fall, without ap parent design, the little word of meaning that sure to fructify in the suspicious mind of the Sultan. His Majesty who is so ready to kick

WINE MANUFACTURE IN FRANCE,
Drinkers of French wines, and they are many, will be interested in the following statement of analysis of wines nade at the Municipal Labor atory of Paris, for although all wines and liquors imported into France are subject to analysis at the Customs before delivery to the importers, so that if found adulterated they are not admitted to entry, there is no inspection or examination whatever of wines exported. According to the following figures it would be well for consumers if some examination did exist. In 1881 3,001 samples were analyzed, the result being that 279 were found to be good, 991 passable, and 1,731 bad, while in the first five months of the present year 1,869 samples were analysed, out of which 371 were good. 683 passable,

Beiram Agha is a big, burly negro, about forty two years of age, not bad looking for one of his race, and, according to general report very

Although he has not held the post of chief eunuch more than four or five years, Beiram Agħa' has managed to amass a anug little fortune out of the "backsheesh" he has received from suitors for imperial favor and presents from the Sul tan's family.

BETTING ON A CERTAINTY.
Even when slavery flourished, the ruling price of a full-grown man was contingent upon ex-color of wine, while its elements are very traneous conditions. Neither looks, nor weight, noy stature governed the price altogether. Nel ther did the traits-virtue, vice, amiability, imi- tability, and what not. These were atver en- tered into the schedule that made one man more valuable than another. The question of the value of a grown

For example, a corporation that has to do with humanity in bulk sets a very slow valuation upon the mere tabernacle of the flesh, contesting with great bitterness the claims of The ruling price of the vital spark is fixed by a jury commonly at $5000+
This price, however, rules in country districts where it would seem a man is not of so much value as in the city. What this difference in valuation is based upon it would be invidious even to speculate over closely. The fact, how ever, seems well established that, when railway economy results in the mangling of a citizen of any of the large towns, the urbane jury promptly awards from $15,000 to $20,000.

In the British army in India betting among the officers often runs to an extreme of vice that is sometimes fearful to contemplate. Perhaps it the most amusing as well as tragical stories are is no worse than in club life in London, where told of the curious bets that are made. Betting avowal is distinctly made, so that no due on a certainty is held to be unfair, unless, the advantage la taken.
An officer in the army had imported for his private apartments a new and beautiful mahogany table. A day or two after it had arrived and had been duly installed in his quarters, a brother officer, a great swell and very unpopular, dropped in familiarly and greatly admired the beautiful table. The owner was shaving himself at the glass with his back to his visitor-Colonel Brown—but continued the conversation until the
Colonel withdrew, the latter remarking that he hoped soon to have his legs under that elegant mahogany.
The owner of the table, whom we must call

The problem Major Jones, made up a little dinner party in was complicated some time ago when the body the course of a few days, and Colonel Brown of Mr. Stewart was stolen. The thief, under the one of the number. It was natural that impression that the man who had made millions would bring a ransom in proportion, boldly en tered the charnel house and stole the body hence. But, curiously enough,
the dead Stewart didn't evoke a penny-not even on the cynical estimate of the poet which counted that —

the new table should be a subject of remark, and Brown, who affected to be a connoisseur in all matters, said the table was perfect, with one exception.
Jones-And, pray, what is that, Colonel? Brown-it is just a little too high. Jones-Do you think so? How high would you suppose it to be?
