Turkish Honesty.

In the edifice SOllInanie, Constantlnope, is an
open gallery, filled with chests of all sizes and
descriptions, carefully marked, which contain
treasures of jewels, gold and silver to an i'm
mense amount. These are all the property of
persons who from any cause require place Of
safety where to deposit their wealth. Each
package accurately described and scrupulously
secured, is received and registered by the proper
authorities and remains intact and inviolate,
despite national commissions and ministerial
changes. No event is suffered to affect the sa-
credness of the trust; and no consideration Of
country or religion initiates against the admis-
sion of such deposits as may be rendered by per-
sons anxious to guard their property from casu-
alities On one side may be seen the fortune OF
an orphan conhded to the care of the directors
of the institution during his minority on the
other, the capital of merchant pursuing his
traffic over seas. All classes and creeds avail
themselves of this security, and although an in
dividual may fail to reclaim his property for
twenty, fifty, or even an unlimited number Of
years, no seal is ever broken, no lock is ever
forced. And despite that this great national
bank, for such it may be considered, offers not
only an easy but an efficient and abundant
means of supply, no instance has been known
in which the government has made an effort to
avail itself of the treasures of Solimanio.-City
Of The Sultan.

Scotch Sabbaths.

have heard many curious stories illustrative
Of that veneration with which the Sabbath is
regarded in Scotland Let me mention one or
two. A geologlst while in the country, and hav-
ing his pocket hammer with him, took it out and
was chipping the rock on the way-side for exam
ination. His proceedings did not escape the
quick eye and ready tongue of an old Scotch
woman.
"Whar are you doing there, man p
"non't you see? I'm breaking stone"
"Y'are doing mair than that: yer breaking
the Sabbath"
Another woman's inquiry of one who, on the
Sabbath dag, passed her on the road, singing as
he went, was equally charteristic. 1t was very
brief, Songs, man, or psalms ?" Now am well
aware that many readers will at once say, what
ultra severity" and will be able only to see
something absurd and ridiculous in these say
ings.
Others, among whom readily number my.
self, will view them in light altogether differ
ent-,-as apt, amusing, aud characteristic, no
doubt, but as most valuable testimonies to the
strong religious feelings of the people, and to
that habitual decision with which many among
them CARY out those scriptural principles, re.
garding the observance Of the Lords day,
which they have imbibed in their CHILDHOOD and
put into practice from Sabbath to Sabbath du-

vessel near which had seen the accident, sent
forth its boat 10 save from watery grave any
who might be rescued. They spied the little
boy floating amid the waste of waters, and APP
preached him; but he, with generosity, alas
too rare, cried out "Never mind me save the
captain, he has a wife and six children" Poor
fellow he knew that the captain had those who
loved him and would need his support.
The captain in telling me the story, was much
affected, and said with generosity character
tic of the mariner, "The boy has only the
clothes you see, sill, or he would not be so rag

lost all, but the poor lad will have hard time

Several persons, on hearing this story, gave
small sums to the poor orphan, and advised him
to make d statement to other passengers, who
would doubtless give something.
" | am not beggar," was the only answer
81 don't wish to beg their money"
At this moment u fine benevolent Individual
arose in a seat near me, and offered to plead for
him who would not prefer bis own claim. Most
successful was the warm hearted appeal which
he made to the passengers, and ten dollars were

A human race with tails.

It was formerly believed that race of men
existed in Africa having imperIectly this brute
appendage and in other respects, forming the
only connecting link wanting to complete the
chain Of graduation from the lowest brute to the
highest intelligent beng. But atterly the eX-
istence OF such a race has been considered fab
ulous. II would appear, nevertheless, from the
following doings of the scientific Society of Pa
ris, lately published that the old notion is like
to be confirmed. Ed.
/" African travellers have spoken of u tribe Of
Negroes who possess that ornamental append.
age so much admired by Lord Monboddo-o
tail but their statements have never, believe
received implicit credence. 1t appears, howev-
er that race of men with tails, really does ex.
ist in the interior of Africa. In a recent sitting
Of the .Acad4mie deS Sciences, M du Couret rea-
ted that in 1842 he found in the service of a
friend at Mecca one of these w1etches, the low
est assurcdy of mankind. The creature had
an exterior prolongation of the verebra column
to the extent of three or four inches. He stated
that he belonged to the tribe of the Ghianes,
whose territory is situated far beyond SEMINAR,
who are thirty or forty thousand in number, wor-
ship the sun, the moon, the stars, the serpent,
and the sources of great river Supposed to be
the NiIel to which last they immediate victims.
They cat plants, roots, fruits, and raw flesh, and
like it bleeding; are very partial to human flesh

and both sexes, whom they may Stay in battle
They, however, prefer the flesh of women and
children as more succulent Phey rarely eX-
eced five feet in height, ure il-proportioned
with long, thin bodies, long arms, longer and
hatter hands and feet than the rest of human
kind, have the lower jaw large and long, tbs
forehead narrow and excessively retreating, thu
ears long and deformed, the eyes small, black
brilliant the nose large and fat the mouth large
the lips thick, and teeth strong and sharp, tn,
hair woolIy, but not abundant. The man eX
amined by NJ. du Couret had been so long il
slavery as to have forgotten his native language
but he stated that Notwithstanding he had don,
all in his power to subduc The savage appetite
he was twice a week seized with mge for raw
flesh, which his master satisfied by giving hin
an enormous lump of mutton, and that if thi
was not done, he felt that he could not refrail
from Staying and eating woman or child. M
du Couret says that the natural dispositions o
this animal were good, that his fidelity to hi
master was striking, and that he was not with
out intelligence but in the slave markets of thu
East, where the race is not unknown, they ar
considered everything that is delestable,"

"Monsieur Jean, here is my hand We ac

The Right Road to Ruin.

Nathan Childs, Jr. was teller Of the Bank of
Missouri at st. Louis. He possessed the conf
dence of the institution in high degree, won
by twelve years faithful service. Child's pros
pered exceedingly, getting possession of a valu
able real estate, and living with great show of
opulencc. At the same time he was eminent
for his piety, and his promotion of all the church
schemes of benevolence
By some accident, the key of current specie
safe not being at hand one day, the Cashier, to
meet specie draft, opened some boxes and bags
of foreign gold which it was intended to send
to the mint He found the first parcel $1,000
short. This led to an examination which de-
tected a deficit of $l2l,O00 in the bank funds
and the arrest of Childs.
Investigation has shown that one Of the more
immediate causes of Child's fall was an illicit
connection with a widow named Whitlock, who
lived in luxurious style upon the profits of the
speculation. Some f4,l00 has been given up
by Mrs w. She had splendid house most

THE RIVER NILE.

Backwood's Magazine, in Review Of Wernes
Narrative of voyage up the Nile, furnishes the
following description of some of the strange
scenes passed thorough
1--WE can conceive few things more exciting
than such voyage as Mr.. Welne has accom-
pD3hed and recorded. Starting from the out
posts of civilization, he sailed into the very heart
of Africa up stream whose upper waters then
for the first time, were furrowed by vessels lar
ger than savage canoe-of such gigantic pro-
portions that its width at thousand miles from
the sea gave it the aspect Of "A lake rather than
river.
The brute creation were in proportion to the
magnitude of the water course. The hipopo-
tamus reared his huge snout above the surface
and wallowed in the gulleys that on either hand
run down the stream; enormous Crotkodiles
gusped along the shore; Elephants played in
herbs upon the pastures; the tall Glratieo stalk
ed among the lofty palms Snakes, thick as trees
lay coiled in the Shiny swamps; and ant hills
ten feet high, lowered above the rushes. Along
the thlckly peopled banks, hordes of savage
showed themselves gazing in wonder at thu
strunge ships, and making ambiguous gesture
variously construed by the adventurers as sign
of friendship or hostility.
Alternately sailing and towing, as the wint
served or not constantly in sight of the natives
but rarely communicating with them; often cu
off for days from, land by intermediate fields Of
tangled weeds, the expedition pursued its course
through innumerable pers. guarded from most
