KING MILAN.

The Young Sovereign of Servia.The revolution that took place in Eastern

Roumelia, in September last, upset the ar-

rangements made under the treaty of Ber-lin in 1878. By the union which it effectedof Eastern Roumelia with Bulgaria, under

the government of Alexander, Prince ofBulgaria. discontent was created in Servia,Greece and Roumania. These little stateswish to derive any profit there may be in"anew deal," provided that the union broughtabout by the revolution of September is

sanctioned by the powers who were partiesto the treaty of Berlin. It looks now as ifthe policy of the powers is to restore Eastern

Roumelia and Bulgaria to their dividedstate, and to the same relations towardsTurkey respect: •y as before the recentrevolation.

While diplomacy halted, Servia invadedBulgaria, seeking, doubtless, to make sureof getting territory in return for the bloodand treasure spent in the invasion. King

Milan led hib army himself, and succeededin winning important advantages in the en-emi's country. The latest battles, however,have checked what had previously appearedtobe an easy advance to Sofia, the capital

of Bulgaria, by the Servian army; and thesubmission of Alexander, Prince of Bulga-

ria, to the Sultan, and recent Servian defeatshave simplified for the powers the solutionof the Eastern question for the present.Probably the arrangement previous to therevolution of last September will be re-stored.

Milan is still young, having been born asrecently as 185M. He was only It whencalled to succeed his uncle, Prince Michail,who was assassinated as ruler of Servia. In1872 he was declared to be of age, and tookcharge of the government in person. Whenonly 19 years of age he was married to theI daughter of a Russian officer. One son, Al-

exasnder, has been born to the couple.Prince Milan became a conspicuous fig-

ure in European history in 1876, when Ser-

via declared war against Turkey. This be-gan a campaign very disastrous to Milanand his country. Russia attacked Turkeyin 1877, only a few weeks after conditionsof peace had been signed between Serviaand the Ottoman Empire. At the return ofpeace, when the powers of Europe revisedthe treaty of San Stefano, and substitutedfor it that of Berlin, Servia was made inde-pendent of Turkey. In March, 1862, PrinceMilan became King Milan, as was unani-mously desired by the National Assembly,in session at Belgrade, the capital of Servia.

OUR LETTER FROM BROADBRIM.

Gen. Shaler's Arrest-Coney Island's Am-phiblous Wild Msn--Ke•narkable Pro-gressiun-Germnan Opera-The Curse andBlessing of Riches-Art. Political andGeneral Notes.

NEW YoaR, Nov. 28, 1885.ErrTon Case:

A dreadful shock to New York was thearrest of General Alexander Shaler forbribery. Gen. Shaler has been a top-saw-yer in the National Guard for twenty-fiveyears, and as he walked the streets he lookedright over the heads of other men. Thehumble stone-cutter of thirty years ago waslost sight of in the military hero who wonhis spurs on the hardest battle fields of theRebellion, and stood at the head o' the Na-tional Guard of a State that had given near-ly half a million of men to the defense ofthe Union. He received the emolumentsof a dozen offices, and it is now assertedthat he sold himself and his high office fora paltry $9000. The unearthing of thismatter is brought about by a duel which isnow going on between two factions of theDemocratic party, each of which appearsintent on destroying the other. Mayor Edi-son helped to make Gen. Shaler Presidentof the Board of Health just previous to hisretirement. Gen. Shaler is a Republican,and the appointment gave mortal offenceto the Democrats, and to no one more thanthe incoming Mayor Grace, who wantedthe place for one of his own henchmen.Mayor Grace had hardly got warm in hisseat when the war on Shaler commenbed.Shaler's friends retorted by calling atten-tion to Mayor Grace's connection with Fer-dinand Ward. The World threw its tre-mendous influence against Mayor Grace,and published the transcript of hi, profitsof $140,000. All this has resulted in a dead-ly hatred and bitterness, which will not besatisfied short of the destruction of oneparty or the other. The position of Gen.Shaler is not an enviable one. His ratherover bearing manner, and his tendency tolook down on everybody he considered be-neath him (and that was about nineteen.twentieths of the community), has causedhim to be heartily hated by most of hissubordinates, and there are few to grieveoutside of his own immediate family, andmany to rejoice at his downfall. He was oneof a considerable number of men in theseUnited States who found it difficult to for-

get that the war is over.-he brought his mil-itary habits back into civil life, and seemedto think that citizens who were every wayhis equal, and many of them his superior,should pay him the san.e deference that aprivate soldier would have to pay him atthe head of his brigade. For the honor ofthe city it is to be hoped that Gen. Shalermay be able to clear his character of thecharges made by the broker Wilson. Forif it shall be proven that a man of suchhigh character, and enjoying such publictrusts, can be bought for such a paltrybribe, then where can we look for honesty?If the World is to believed, the character

of our Mayor is not untainted. It may bethat another popular uprising may be nec-essary, like that which sent Tweed to thepenitentiary and Connolly and Sweeneyinto exile.

Brooklyn is greatly exercised about awild man of the sea, which, if the story isto be believed, would show that the mer-men of the sea are not all dead. For ten dayspast a man has been seen on Coney Islandbeach, disporting himself in the brinywaves as if they were his native element.The hair on his head reaches to his waist,nd the yellow hair on his body imas long as

a horse's mane. Many people have seen himat night walking along the sand, but assoon as he was approached he dashed intothe breakers, and no one has seen himcome out. But that he does come out isevident, for he has been seen by many,men and women. Towards night men goarmed with hatchets and clubs for fear thewild man might grab them up and carrythem into the sea. Women and childrenkeep close in doors, and a reign of terrorof this subm rine hairy man has shakenNew York's favorite watering place fromturret to foundation stone. People areafraid to shoot him for fear they might poe-sibly be indicted for killing a harmlesslunatic. Hundreds are watching for thewild man of the sea. and I should not besurprised when he is caught to find that itwas another ingenious device of that aqua-tic blatherskite. Captain Paul Boyton, toadvertise his life-saving suit. If it is notBoyton it is the -

There is a rapid and remarkable changegoing on in the two cities of New York andBrooklyn. Ten years ago in Brooklyn thepermits to build were about a thousand; in1885 they were nearly five thousand, andthe amount of money employed in build-ing about thirteen millions of dollars. Atthat time I wrote that 40,000 people dailycrossed over the different ferries. Now170,000 cross daily on the bridge and ferry-boats, and the street cars of Brooklyn car-ried in a year over 56,000,000 of people-morepeople than there are inhabitants of theUnited States. Efforts are made from timeto time to have the two cities under onemunicipality; but the only way that can beaccomplished, according to our Brooklynneighbors, will be to sink the name of NewYork, which has always been offensive toour Dutch friends on the other side of theriver, and either call it by its original name,New Amsterdam, or else the "United Mu-nicipality of Brucklyn," vide old chronicles.

The experiment which cost Doctor Dam-roach his life, established German Opera asa permanent institution in New York, andthe son worthily wields the baton which thefather laid down a year ago. While we haveno phenomonal singers in the MetropolitanCoumpany, all are good, and the result isperfectly satisfactory. And we have gotrid of Map!eson. Everybody is delightedat the prospect of seeing him no more.We would glory in an opera of Choctaw orFiji rather than another dose of ItalianOjpera udminlistered.by Colonel Maplesonof Her Majesty's.

The Jesse Hoyt will case drags its slowlength along, and the hungry lawyers arefast consuming the ill gotten estate. It ac-tually seems as if the curse of the Almightyrested upon the gold of most of our deadand dying millionaires. Vanderbilt, afterpiling up a hundred millions, is hardly laidin his coffin before his children are tearingeach other to pieces for his gold, and thehorrible skeleton behind the door is exhib-ited to the public gaze. Garrison, Stewart,Dan Drew, Jesse Hoyt-all their accumula-tions, piled mountains high, seem to havea curse resting upon them which will notpass away. It is a shocking revelation inthe Hoyt will case. The daughter cursesher old father on his death-bed, and he inrevenge thrusts her into a mad-house. Theheiress of millions is dragged shriekingthrough the streets by a policeman like adrunken tramp, and is only saved from dis-graceful imprisonment by the interventionof influential friends. The representativeof one of our oldest, richest and most re-spectable families is a wild and recklessdrunkard, and hides his weakness in the se-clusion of his magnificent yacht, where forweeks at a time he lies drunk as a Lord.

No, no, my young friend! Money is agood thing to have, but it is not everything.It will not give you health, it will not bringyou content, and has the faculty of gettingout of the way at the very moment youneed it most. If you doubt it, come to NewYork. I will take you to houses rich ineverything but the peace of mind which thepoor hod-carrier enjoys when after his hardday's work he stretches himself on a" barefloor and sinks into the sweet sound sleepthat money can not buy.

There was a rich man of blessed memoryin New York, Frederick Marquand, whodied a couple of years ago, but he left be-hind him a benefaction to the Young Men'sChristian Association of Brooklyn, whichhas earned his name a right to registry onthe Lamb's Book of Life. For generationsto come young men, homeless and friend-lees, will have cause to bless his name. Hewas indeed a steward of whom his Masterwill be proud upon the judgment day. Allhonor to Frederic Marquand.

The art season is upon usagain. The ar-tists who have been sketching in the moun-tains and the valleys are back home withtheir portfolios full, and some of the newcanvasses are of surpassing merit. Theexhibition of water colors at the rooms ofthe Society of Fine Arts on 23rd street, isthe best water color exhibition that wehave had in New York; we are also makingwonderful progress in black and white. It

is only a few years ince the frat attemptI at anything of this kind worth mentioningwas inaugurated by the Salmagundi Club;sinea then it has iamproved wonderfully tillsome of theme pea ; and ink and crayonsketches are equal to a line engraving. Imust take an early lpportunity to give amore ritical revies of the beautiful watercolor ethibition of this year.

Providence be thiaked, the election isover, and for a year, at least, the small boyno more steeleth the covering of the cellargrating to make a patriotic bonfire; nomore will our ears beooffended with thebeating of political gongs; the merchantand the mechanie will again return to theirbusiness, and the tramp who has been com-fortably housed aid fed for the last thirtydays will again prdwl our streets to begand steal The Democrats have all the8tate olBces; the lepoblicans have the As-sembly and the Senate; the deal seems tobe pretty even, add both parties can con-gratulate themselves on having had themost orderly electio6 of any State in theUnion. New York and Brooklyn have alarge and turbnlent population, but to theirhonor be it recorded there was not a pollin either city, whersa Republican or Dem-ocrat might not freely east his vote. Orderreigned supreme everywhere, and the peaceofcBeers at the difertnt election precinctsheld a sinecure. This is especially gratify-ing in view of the turbulent violence atChicago and Cinajaati, and with all ofher faults, stampns bw York as one of themodel States of th~American Republic.

An old game has been revived here whichhas resulted in1 s loss. Iis generallypracticed during the; eaty hours of theevening. The ps~ase plates of glass nowused for store yiidOws, on account of theirthickness wers•ppased to be a protectionfor goods, ba qtpr adroit thieves have gotthe better of tUmes. They select a windowrichly filled with lfelry. A short distancefrom the scene of the robbery they have abutcher's cart with a man in, all ready todrive off. Two thieves march up to thestore, and each has a large cobble stone un-der his coat. Thief No. I dashes his stonethrough the window, and thief No. 2. holdshis stone in resera, while No. 1 grabs atray of goods, and bothharry off to the cartwhich is driven of on the instant. This hasbeen done many times on our most publicthoroughfares, and strange to say, few ofthe robbers are caught, and not a tithe ofthe goods recovered. On election night thewindows of the beautiful new store ofWechsler Brothers of Brooklyn were brokenin this way. Several pieces of silk werestolen, and the loss in glass was not far from$1000.

Thanksgiving was heralded by one of theseverest storms of the year. The tides havebeen the highest that wo have had for fiftyyears, the amount of damage and inconve-ninces being almost incalculable. Manystreets in the lower part of the city wereflooded, and in some neighborhoods busi-ness wa an eirelyv ananniarl-

Alderman Sterling of Brooklyn s findingthe way to official preferment a hard roadto travel. He was appointed Weigher bythe Collector, but was immediately aftersuspended by the President, and wasknocked out in the first round by civil ser-vice reform. This week he was appointedPort Warden by the Governor, and his hon-or was vindicated and mollified, as the officewas worth double the one he was oustedfrom, but when he went to demand his placethe incumbent refused to get out, and Mr.Sterling is confronted by an expensive law-suit and a hostile Senate. What shall bedone with Sterling? The Mugwumps won'thave him at any price. The Republicanssay his character is shady. The Democratshave knocked him out with civil service re-form. He is a bigger white elephant thanBarnum's wonder, or our late minister toItaly or Austria, Mr. Keily. Mr. Kelly re-lieved the administration from its embar-rassing position by resigning; and Sterlinghas done almost as much. for he swears bySt. Patrick that he would not accept an officefrom Cleveland at any price. Brooklyncan vindicate him, it has.done so before, bymaking him an Alderman-that would fixSterling and relieve the administration.Governor Hill's act in appointing SterlingPort Warden, whether he gets his place ornot, will be gratefully remembered byBrooklyn Democrats if Governor Hill evercomes up for President.

Our Good Samaritans gave the poor theirusual Thanksgiving dinner. Not a boot-black or a newsboy was forgotten. Mrs.Astor, God bless her, gave her annual lib-eral donation, and thousands were madehappy by her gift.

FREDERIQK H. WINSTON,The Eminent Citizen of Chicago

Nominated Minister to Persia.President Cleveland has selected Fred-

erick Winston to represent the UnitedStates Government in Persia. He will re-side in Teheran, the capital, a city of 100,-000 inhabitants. The court of Persia isone of great magnflcence 1 the sovereignhaving the whole revenue of the countryat his disposal. Narrs-ed-Din, the presentShah, is worth $20,000,000 in money andproperty. It is remembered that when hevisited Europe a few yeras ago, his dia-monds were the envy of the ladies.

Living in Persia as the Minister of a greatnation is more apt to diminish than to in-crease the wealth of the representative. Mr.Winston's salary will be $6000 a year only.He is a man possessed of large property,and can afford to represent his country ata loss to his pocket, but with much of gainin experience and observation. Duringthe last three years he has ttaveled in Eu-rope. He is a member of the celebratedIroquois Club. Our portrait presents in-dications of the splendid physique withwhich nature has gifted him. His health-ful frame is tall and large, his face isbronzed and weather-beaten, his voicestrong and his step vigorous.

The geographical position of Persia givesit importance at this time, when the UnitedKingdom and Russia are striving, as yet bypeaceful means, for supremacy in centralAsia. Wise administration in Persia wouldprofit by the situation as it relates to thatcountry. Both England and the Govern-ment of the Czar are interested to promoteindustrial improvement in the interestingcountry governed by the Shah. Better daysin Persia ought to mean considerable bus-iness between it and the United 8tates. Wecan only add the hope that Mr. Winston'sresidence in Teheran will be advantageousto both the nation he represents and thatto whichdhe is now sent.
