Scotch Hdventurers.


The character which the Scotch have
acquired beyond almost any other peo.
pie, for the art ol pushing their fortune
abroad was never perhaps more sinsu-
larly illustrated than by the following
anecdotc, which DR.. Anderson relates
in his Bee.' on the authority of baron
ct Of scientific eminence.
The Russians and Turks in the war
of 1859, having diverted themselves
long enough in the contest, agreed to
treat for peace. The Commissioners
for this purpose were Marshal Gen.
Keith, on the part of Russia. and the
Grand Vizier OF the part of the Turks.
These personages met and carried on
their negotiations by means of interpret.
ers-When all was concluded they
rose to separate-The marshal made
his bow with his hat in his hand, and
the Vizier his salam with his turban on
his hcad--But when these ceremonies
of taking leave were over, the Vizier
turned suddenly, and coming up to
Marshal Keith, took him cordially 6y
the hanc, and in the broadest Scotch di.
alect declared that it made HIM unco
happy to meet countryman in his ex-
allied station. Keith started with AS
:onishment, eager for explanation of the
mystery, when the vizier added, Dinna
be surprised, mon, I'm o. the same
country wi yoursel, mind wecl seeing
you and your brother, when boys, pas

In manuscript III one Of the Libraries
at Paris We are told that the Count de
LigniviIle, and Count de Auiricourts
twins, descended from an ancient fam
lily in Lorraine, rescmblcd each other SD
much, that when they put on tie same
kind OF dress, which they Gid now and
then for amusement, their servants could
not distinguish the one from the oIl,er.
Their voice, gait and deporlment was
the same, and these marks OF resem-
blance was SO perfect, that they often
threw their friends, and even their wives
into the greatest embarrassment Both be-
ing captains of light horse, the one
would put himself at the head of the
others squadron, without the officers
ever suspecting the change. Count de
AuTicourt having committed some
crime, the count dc Ligniville never
suffered his brother to 20 out without
accompanying him, and the fear Of seiz-
ing the innocent instead Of the guilty,
rendered the orders TO arrest the former
of no avail One day Count de Lignivillc
sent for barber. and after having suf-
fcred to shave one half of his beard, he
pretended to have occasion to- 60 into the
next apartment, where putting his night
on bis brother, who was concealed there,
and tucking the cloth which he had about
his neck under his chin, made him sit
down in the place which he hadju quit.
The barber NDmediateIy resumed his op-
Grafton, and was proceeding to finish what
he had begun, as he supposed, but to hls
great astonishmcnt, he found that new
beard had sprung up. Not doubling
that the person before him was the devil,
he reared out with much terror, and sunk
down in swoon Oh the iloor. Whilst
they were endeavoriog to Call him to life,
Count de An.ricout retired again into
the closet, and Count de Llgniviiie, who
was hall shaved, returned TO his former
place. This was new cause OF surprize
TO the poor barber, who now imagined
that all he had seen was a dream, and he
could not be convinced of the truth un-
til he behed the two brothers together.
The sympathy that subsisted between
the two brothers, was no less singular
than their resemblance. If one fell sick,
the other was indisposed also II one re-
ceived a wound, the other felt pam and
this was the case with every misiortune
that belel them so that OH this account,
they watched over each others conduct
with the greatest care and attention. -
But what is still more astonishing, they
both cften had the same dreams. The
day that Count dc 'Antricourt was at
tackled in France by the fsver Of which
he died, Count de l.igniville was seized
with the same in Bavaria, and was near
sinking under it.
