approachted completion of his 2090th mile hewas greeted by great applause. The crowdcheered vociferously and the building shook. rHe made the last mile in 14 minutes and 2 iseconfs. A number of lively races occurredolduring the night between Merritt, Ennis,Hazael and Guyon. After finishing his 200thmil,• Guyon went tobl d. Hazael walks ratherstfllly, and his left foot is bad. He has 184miles to his credit, Rowell 215, WestoJn 173,EHnts 175 and Merritt 193. Taylor is suffer-ing from a sore foot, and is far behind all theothers. e

Hdpt. 24. 12 m.--Merritt turned his 234thmile at 11:29. When the figures went up an-nouneing 235 miles, and when his name was iput up to toe second place instead of Guyon, rthe cneering was tremendous. Weston is 1nervous and restless. He slept but little lastnight, although off the track nine hours. The tscore at noon was: Weston 196 miles5 laps, oRowell 2i50 miles 2 lap5, Hazael 224 mites,Guyon 234 miles 7 laps, Ennis 205 miles 3 laps,Panchet 185 miles, Merritt 235 miles 5 laps,Hart 222 miles 7 laps Khrone 198 miles, Tay- tlor 110 miles 3 laps, Jackson 193 miles 6 laps, cFedermeyer 183 miles 1 lap.

12 p. m,--Popular interest seems to be in- Icreasing. Throngs haunt the scene of the ctournament. A constant clapping of handsand stamiDng of feet is kept up. Numbers of 1bouquets and horse shoes were showered on 1the pedestrians during the evening. Guyon'space continues good, but Rowell keeps his rlead, and the efforts to close the gap seem arather to widen it. At the end of the stity- aseventh hour he had made 290 miles and 4la , which left him just 9% miles behind 1B lower Brown's best time on record, In the tmatch in London. Hart (the colored boy) has ataken to running, and is working to close up cthe gap between himself and Hazael. Wes-aton is doing some rapid work and flits around tthe track at a quick pace. He seems to caremore for gaining applause for occasional crurets of speed than fo0r decreasing Rowell's rlead of nearly sixty miles. Ennul is tailingbehind, owing to nausea. Hazael seems lame,but maintains an astonishing gait. HKzielgot one lsp ahead of Guyon, at 1) o'clock, andthus took tbird place In the race. He is rapidly I,overhauling Merritt, who is second.

THE SULTAN OF TUIJKEY.

The Discomfort of Being the Head of theTurkish Empire.

[New York Syn.lThe discomfort commonly conceded to at-

tenod the wearing of a crown is lutense inTurkey. In his disposition the present Sultanis naturally the most amiable of men, and hehas given fewer of his wlves the sack thanpo'sloly any oredece)ssor that was allowed toltv long enough to bscomre acquainted. Heis fond of the pleasures of the table; in fact,hereditarily addicted to good eating, and canstand as much rest as any padleha thatTurkey has had. As a Constantinople corre-spondent writes to the Cologne Gazette, "he Isone of the beat and noblest sovereigns whohave ever sat upon a Turkish throne." Inquieter times he would have become the idolof his people, but he has proved incapable ofdesling 'i.th the difficulties of his situatioo.So beset and harassed is he by the Intriguesof his palace, so crushed is he by the late at-tentions of foreign poiwers, so co startis hisfear of conspiracies and insurrections and oftnvoluntary suicide with the scissors, that

his brain has given way, and he lives In"maniacal fear of aasassination."

He never sleeps for two n!ghts in successionin the same bed; all his food and drink has tobe tasted in his presence before he will touchIt; he thinks his ministers and all others at-tached to his person are conspiring againsthim, and instead of being a jolly and happymortal, he is the most wretched of men in themidst of all his piserable splendor. The onlypersons in whom he seems to repose theslightest cn idenee are a few officers of thehousehold, and they enjoy more power thanthe ministry Itself. The correspondent quoteddescrioes how "only the other day a con-tractor who had applied for a concessionwhich the Grand •!zer and his ministersrightly refused to grant, as being incornmati-ble with the interests of the country, obtainedit from the Sultan by the simple process ofmaking a present of 45,000 to the chiefeunuch."

The Battle of the JMamre.PresiderAt and Mrs. Hayes sat talking in

their Fremont home the other evening with agroup of guests, when Gen. Sherman wascalled upon to tell the story of the "Battle ofthe Maumee." "Well," said that genial war-rior, "It was during what was called the Mich-igan war, when the border inhabitants ofMichigan and Ohio were quarreling over astrip of territory. The dispute became sowarm that a resort was made to arms, and theOhio party raised about 1200 men from all theneighboring towns, while the Michiganderswere not much behind the opposition. Onthe eve of battle the two formidable armieswere divided by only a board fence, and pick-ets were stationed along the line. Word gotabroad somehow that during the night therewas to be a surprise attack made, and adread-ful slaughter must surely ensue; so, when amysterious noise as of a stealthy step ap-proaching was heard by one of the sentinels,he becnme terribly excited and called out inthe direction o.f the noise. Receiving no an-swer, he leveled his piece and fired, afterwhich he threw it down and ran for dear life.Next morning when the sun arose it lookeddown upon two deserted camps, the only vic-tim of the night's adventure being an inno-cent pig that had wandered from home andmet his death at the hands of the heroic sen-try."

Americean Exiport of Crate.The Economiste Francais traces the devel-

opment of the exports of corn from the UnitedStates to Europe since 1870. In that year thecereals sent to this side of the Atlanticamounted to 82,500 000 of beetolitres, and twoyears later it had increased to 87,000,000. In1874 it amounted to nearly 108,000,000,. but inthe next year but one sank to 101,000,00(0. Thisrelapse was, however, amply compensated byan increase in the following year to 127,000,0(00,and in 1878 there was almost as great an ad-vance, which brought the total to exactly147,000,000. It is mentioned as a well ascer-tained fact that of these totals Great Britainabsorbs two-thirds, while France is only acustomer to the extent of 5 per cent. TheEcononmiste is not, however, of opinion thatthis steady increase, alarming as it may seem,will continue indefinitely. It believes, on thecontrary, that its development has nowreached its utmost limit.

u Mr. Wiltz, and a series of bulletins from sev-e eral parishes plentifully luteriarded withn aterleksi. This Is termed the "Wiltz Wave."o ' he supporters of Gen. Ogden claim the

. to

be for Ogden.Grant, 3 for Wilts.Lincoln, 7 for Spencer.Union 8, uncommitted.I- Vernon 3, uncommitted.

e Webster, 4 for Wiltz.C Winn, 3 for Wilts.

n These deductions would reduce the clairs

of the Pie by taking away 113 delegates, andy of the remaining 51, claimed for Ogden, it is

I believed that Wilitz stands as fair a chance ofStheir support as Gen. Oen.Oden. It is quite

i evident that the Pic's statement was hastilySmanufactured for the purpose of breasting

Sthe Wiltz wave published in the D3MtOCraT

Syesterday morning. Otherwise the boomersSwould not have hid away such important in-

formation from their followers.A sample of the looseness of their claims

Lecan be seen in the case of Natchltoches,

-which stands 12 for Wlltz and 2 for Ogden,

as will be seen from a dispatch which leftSNatchitocies at 4 25 p. m. yesterday.
