A Festive Turk.

I have an item relative to the Turkish commander of the Danube army, Adul Kerim. The old man has the most gigantic appetite in Europe. His dinner ordinarily consists of an entire roast kid, twenty-five or thirty boiled eggs, and, when in good form, he tops off with a goose or a chicken. I have this officially. When not occupied with digesting a small lunch of tliis character, the venerable warrior is supposed to be looking after the movements of the Muscovites. —Cincinnati Enquirer.
