TRACING A PEDlG&EE.

A Shah Of Persia had supevh war horse
brought to him for sale, and called his Of \
iicer, round him in front of bis Palace, to,

slaves with their task-master, crossed thrT

Shah rather contemptuou-Iy. "Fhe horse

FROM THE BOSTON DAILY ADV.
THE REVOLUTION OF THE GREER

THE REVOLUTION OF THE GREEKS.
In the three proceeding numbers, an
attempt has been made to furnish con-
nected historical sketch of the Greek
Revolution. Nothing has been admit
ted into it, but what subsequent events
have proved to be true,o or what has been
acknowledged to be SO, by foreign
prints, unfriendIy to the Grecian and
every other free cause. The destruc-
ton of Scio in April, 1922, is certainly
the most calamltous event, which has
occurred in this or almost any other
war, and its details are of nature 10
excite emotions of a permanent and
powerful cast. Since the account of
this event, in the Daily Advertiser of
Tuesday, December 2, we have had an
opportunity of consulting the French
Annuaire for the year 1922, in which
the history of the campaign of that year
is given, in the most ample and anthem
tic manner. In the account of the des-
truction of Scio, there are some affect
ing particulars, which deserve to be
mentioned. After relating the princi-
pal incidents of the landing of the Turks
on the Island and of the catastrophe,
which Immediately ensued, the writer
continues =" At length the flourishlng,
the opulent Sclo, the paradise of the
Greeks, had ceased TO exist. The
charming country seats, which rendered
ii so remarkable, among all the Islands
of the Archipelago, the beautiful edit
ces in the town, the academy, the libra
ry, the noble Cathedrals of Saint Anar-
gyrosto, of Saint Victor, of the Apostles,
eighty six churches, land more than forty
villages, had been consumed by the
flames. There remained at Scio, on
the 18th of May (thirty five days after
the Turkish landing) only the Catho-
ticks, spared at the solicitation of the
Consuls, and IN confederation of their h4.
tired for the Greeks and few thousand
wretches, escaped from massacre and
concealed in the mountains. Fifteen OF
twenty thousand succeeded in making
their escape to the Islands of Samos.
Tine, and Hydra. More than twenty
five thousand had been put to the sword
drowned, and burned, or had died of IA
tigue, had starved to death, or perished
of diseases caught from the infection of
many bodies lying in the streets. All
the rest we're reduced toislavery. .Ac-
cording to the registers Of the Turkish
Custom House, there had been up to the 25tL
Of May, 1922, FORTY ONE THOUSAND indi.
viduaIs entered at that office, to pay dutie,
as Slaves sold After the first dictates
of avarice were satisfied, fanatcal mus.
selmans were seen to buy these miserable
Christians, for the purpose Of exercising
all the refnements Of cruelty in putting
them to lingering death. The port
was filled with transport vessels, in
which were driven Unfortunately, and
tied with ropes, young girls, ladies oil
wealthy families and their children, to
be carried to the slave markets in
Asia. Many of these unhappy persons
died in agonies of horror Of what they
already suffered or saw too plainly be-

behalf of the Jews, was highly credit

that when the state Of the Jews, and
the progress and success of benevolent

more fully known, exertions will be
made, worthy of this extensive and

Cow-por.-An English journal says,
that vaccination has been carried TO an
astonishing extent in some despotic gov
ernments. In Denmark, a few years
since, no person could be admitted into
any school, be bouud apprentice to any
trade, or get married, who had not had
the small pox or COW pox. These reg
ulations had driven the small pox out Of
the kingdom. In Russia, 100000 re-
ceived the benefit of vaccination in a
few years. In Prussia, those who died
of the small pox were buried silently
and unattended, without the tolling of a
bell; and the discovery of vaccination
was celebrated as an annual festival. In
Bavaria, all persons who neglected to
be vaoGinated were exposed to fne.

ANECDOTES OF AvARIcE.

Sir William Smyth of Bedfordshire,
who was my kinsman, when he was
near seventy, was wholly deprived of
MS sight: he was persuaded to be couch
ed by Taylor the occulist, who by agree
ment was to have sixty guineas if he re-
stored his patient TO any degree of sight:
Taylor succeeded in his operation, and.
Sir William was able to read and write
without the use of spectacIes, during
the rest Of his life but as soon as the
operation was performed, and Sir VIII
liam perceived the good effects of it, in
stead OF being overjoyed as any other
person would have been, he began to
lament the loss Gas he called it) of his
sixty guineas. His Continuance there
fore now, was how to cheat the occulist;
ne pretended that he had only glim-
mering, and could see nothing perfectly;
and for that reason, the bandage on his
eye, was continued month longer than
the usual time by this means, he oblig-
ed Taylor to compound the bargain, and
accept of twenty guineas; for cove
tous man thinks no method dishonest,
which he may legally practise TO save
his money. Sir William was an old
bachelor, and at the time Taylor couch
ed him, had fair estate in land, large
sum OF money in the stocks, and not less
than S, or $4,000 in bis house. Crassus,
who had yearly revenue, sufficient to
maintain great army, persisted, togeth-
er with his son, in endeavouring to add
TO his store. In the fable of Midas, in
stead OF renouncing the gift, which the
god hal bestowed on him, he had cbo-
sen TO die, in the act of creating gold.

THE YUEN TARTAR MODE OF WARFARE.
-'' To succeed against certain noun
taineers, an order was issued for the
Tartar soldiers to advance, each man
bearing a bundle of brush-wood, by
which he warded off the arrows and
stones thrown against him; and after
approaching halfway to the enemy, he
was ordered to retreat. This trick was
played for six days successfully, by
which means the enemy expended all,
their arrows and stones, and being with
out weapons, became an easy prey to
the Tartars.
When they attacked cities, they first.
seized the neighboring villagers, to drive
them before them to the walls. Every.
Tartar horseman attached to himself
ten villagers to provide him with food
and fuel, or stones and earth to FIJI up
the bitches To this labor the people
were impelled night and day.-Those
who failed in procuring the stipulated
quantity, or were slow in going about,
were murdered.
When town was taken, all in il, old
and young, rich and poor, those who
opposed, and those who yielded, were
Unfortunately slaughtered, without
the least snercy9 '...e

FROM "L'HIsTorRE DEs CHIENs cELEBREs.''
The mountains Of Switzerland are in
many places covered with an immense
quantity Of snow. These SHOWS conceal
awful precipices, which are often fatal
to the inexperienced traveller. Some
times they form prodigious masses of
ice, rising to the clouds, and resting on
the edges Of the steep rocks which pro-
ject, the slightest movement shakes
them-they become suddenly detached,
and falling with laundering noise, Of
ten in their fall engulph men and hors-
es, without the slightest chance of es-
cape. To obviate the too frequent dan
gers in these savage and inaccessible
places, there have been founded hospi-
tails, in which beggars or wandering pill
grims may procure nourisbment and as
sistance. 1t is customary in these hospi-
table houses, 20 train large dogs for the
purpose Of traveTsiDg aud becoming
guides through these narrow and wind
ing pathways. These dogs usually
have a small wicker bottle, filed
with brandy, and attached to their
necks by an iron chain, which they pre-
sent to the wearied traveller; after
warming him, amid the freezing atmos-
phere which surrounds him, they then
guide his uncertain steps to, the destined
house. One Of these dogs, going his
rounds as usual met with little boy of
six years old, whose mother had Just
fallen into one Of lhese precipces, with
