The Difficulty bstseeen the Sultan and the EN-.
peror of Russia, in regard to the Hungdritn
Refugees. ,a,,., 81 e,s.s,...
IRON tie I'd edition Of the London Times, Sept eel
isss..ea CoNsrANTlkopLE, Sept ~, ls4s.
:. Tho Emperor Of Russia employs no atgu-
ment in Court for his demand for the delivery
'ofsthe Polish and Hungarian refugees now al
Widden, but says in his letters that he win
consider the escape of one of them as causus
bs.i. If the Sultan did not give simple yes
or no to his Aid.de!Camp, he threatened TO
return to Warsaw. The Sultan persists in
his resolution, and is backed by the Foreign
Ministers, the Grand Yizier, the Steraskier,
and Mahomet Ali Pacha and Mahomet Pacha
Ali; but the great majority Of the council is
alarmed at the threatening tone of the Czar's
note, and consequently, no official announce
ment of the couucis decision had been
made. There is reason to believe that the
Turkish government, urged On by the Eng
lsh and French ENJOYS, win reject the de-
'mand.
It is supposed that the Emperor Of Russia
will nut his threats Of war into execution,
should the answer be negative. Although
nearly the whole Of the Turkish feet is in
the Golden Horn, quite ready for service, and
could defend the entrance of the Bosphorus,
vet the Turkish arrny bears no proportion to
the forces the Emperor could march against
the Turkish frontiers in few days. Sixty
thousand Turkish troops are concentrated
round Cons,antinople, but the English fleet
could not reach the Golden horn eooher than
fifteen days. A Russian fleet could be in the
Bosphorus within twenty-tour hours.
The greatest anxiety prevails amongst all
CLASSES; the greater majority are opposed TO
war as destructive to commerce and indus
Try.
British subjects are among the refugees
confined in Widden--General Gnyon, Gen
eral Longwor,h, and General O'Donneil
Private letters confirm the report of the
Sultan's decision no, to deliver up the Hun
garian refugees, and it is stated, on the best
authority, that considerable uneasness pre-.
vailed in diplomatic circles, as to the Ultimate
consequences Of This resolution.

FATHER MATHEW AT THE BLIND AsY-
LuM.-By invitation of DR.. Howe, tho able
superintendent of the Perkins Asylum fr
the Blind, Father Mathew visited the in
stitulion on Thursday, yesterday, in COM
pany with several friends, and was highly
delighted. There are between so and 80
scholars, or blind persons, at this excellent
institution. Among the number are two
blind boys, frins, about nine years old,
with faxen hair. They are from The State
of Maine, and arrived at the Asylum only
few days since. They were hardly tame,
or easy, so long had they run wild al home.
Father Mathew was particularly interest
ed in Laura Bridgman, the deaf, dumb and
blind girl. having never seen such case
before. On being informed that she was
shaking hands with Father Mathew, Laura
expressed great pleasure, BY her animation.
He gave her Temperance medal, and she
wrote on paper, in reply, Il thank YOU for
The medal; we are all very glad to see
Father Mathews
He thanked her, and remarked, II shall
keep the writing and put il in frame, and
take it home with me 10 Ireland" Eigh-
teen Of the scholars expressing wish to
take the pledge, it was administered to
them with great interest, and each received
a medal and certificate, with which they
were much delighted.
Having visited all parts ofthe institution,
including the workshops, and heard some
good singing and instrumental music, Faith
er Mathew left, highly delighted with his
visit. He passed 10 part of,he building
where an experimental school is kept for
weak minded and idiotic children. This
also was entirely newsto Father Mathew,
who was deeply affected at the sight ofeight
hoys from six to fourteen years Of age, who
bad made considerable progress in reading
and such useful things, as il has been here
.tofore thought they were utterly incapable
Of. II it computed that there are from 1900
to 1900 Of this class in our Siste.-Boston

A CATASTROPHE Boston Pathfind

A Conference.-The Boston Pathfind-
ertells the following story: A gentlemen
"doWn East was accustomed TO fill his
bath with water at night, so as to have it
ready tor use when he stepped out of bed in
the morning. On one occasion as he was
about to step into his bath to take his usual
morning shower, he saw Miss Puss sitting
up aspirin as newly dipped candle, direct
ly in the bottom Of the bath, and our hero
thinking he would have little fun, stepped
quietly in and closed the door. II is well
known that cats have an utter adherence Of
being wet, and in this Instance, when her
ladyship found retreat cut of. aud the wa
ter coming in upon her in torrents, she soon
became desperate, and making virtue of
necessity, used the gentIeman's legs, arms,
back and neck, as cIawholds to assist her
in making her exit through the top opening
ofthe bath. 1t is said that the water emp
tied from the bath that morning was consid.
erably tinged with scarlet.

A NARROW EscApE.-The superiority Of
teh over paper to be applied to the bottoms
OF ships beneath the copper, is we'll llustra-
ted by the following singular fact: The
ship Dorothea, sent on voyage OF dlscoy-
cry to the Attic regions, was crushed be-
tween two fields Of ice: the shock was so
tremendous, that several beams which sup
port the deck were broken, and all on board
expected she would fonder; but, 10 their
surprise, no leak was discovered; and hence
it was thought that the beams were the only
parts damaged. She arrived in England
rcithoM leaking; but when taken into the
dock and stripped, for the purpose Of exam
ming into her state, it was discovered thai:
SO eof her timbers under water were
broken, the plank ofthe bottom deranged,
and that the felt had sared the ship.

A LITERALIsr OF A JoKER.-We see a
paragraph "going the rounds" to the effect
that the Bishop Of Oxford, having sent
round to the church wardens in his diocese
a circular Of inquiries, among which was
"Does your officiating clergy man preach
the gospel, and are his conversation and
carriage consistent therewith"'
The church warden near Willingford,
replied:

ers will remember the arrest OF Mr.. Sprague,
the printer, for knocking down young lady
on the sidewalk in Brooklyn, N. Y. and steal
ing one Of her shoes, which was found in his
pocket. Rev. Mr.. Sprague, father to the
prisoner, who was travelling in the west
when he saw the account Of his sons ar.
rest, communicates to the Commercial Ad-
vertiser remarkable account, which casts
into the shade all previous tales Of mental
olliauities and ungovernable desires
"From early boyhood this son had evinced
a strange propensity for getting possession
of the shoes ofthe female part ofthe family.
This propensity was periodical. At thir-
teen or fourteen years Of age it was devel-
oped, the fact being notorious, not to the
family but to the domestics, some Of whom.
being now married and settled in Brooklyn,
are referred to by names and addresses
When the son was about that age the shoes
of Mrs. Sprague and her daughters began
to disappear. especially new ones; some
times one shoe, sometimes pair; when
found, land they were discovered in
the sons pocket, in bis trunk, his bed, bis
room, and slyly concealed in various other
places they were generally wet, or if dry
had the shriveled appearance Of having
been soaked; and were unfit to wear. The
father charged this upon the son, threat
ened and reasoned with him, but in vain.
Sometimes the habit would sleep for months,
and he would be joked upon his improve
ment; thea it would return, and no means,
severe or kind, which the parents could de-
wise would check it; and the only remedy
was vigilance, which was occasionally
mingled with such remarks as, Glad when
Charles is married. then we can keep our
shoes'-showing the notorietv Of his pro-
pensity. For this reason, Mr.. Sprague
says, he was opposed to the marriage Of
this son. After the marriage it was a
common remark in the family that they
wondered whether Margaret Mrs. Charles
Sprague) could keep her Shoes At the
death Of Mrs Sprague, the father went to
reside with his son, and about a fortnight
before he lett for the west, his daughter-n-
law remarked at table that it was strange
what had become Of her Shoes They were
new ones and were sought for all over the
house in vain, and il was upon Mr.. Sprague's
tongue to say that :their disappearance was
easily accounted for unless Charles had got
rid of his old propensity but he checked
himself. as the subject was an unpleasant
one. This statement we can we'll suppose
must be painful to Mr.. Sprsgue; but we can
also understand the feeling that prompted
the revelation, and the mention of the fact
that the predecessors in the family had
suffered temporary alteration of mind,
rather than that the charge of crime and
depravity should attach to his son. The
letter indeed fully exonorates the son from
moral delinquency, for which reason we
give it publicity"

ECHO.

Oh Echo lives among the hills!
merry life hath he,
To every voice his horn he fills
And answers cheerily;
Oh Echo! who
Asked it OF you
To show such spiteful glee!
The love lorn maiden by the rock
That oyerhangs the glen,
Sings-and her song in plaintive mock
Is told beyond her ken;
Oh Echo! who
Asked this OF you
To sing her song again.
The hunter on the mountain drear
Beneath the trysting thorn,
Loud sounds his bugle wild and clear
Free in The early morn;
oh Echo. who
Asked this of you
To wind again the horn?
The school boy late at idle play
Comes wandring through the wood,
And bent to cheer his lonely way
Pipes in the solitude;
Oh Echo! who
Asked this of YOU
To whistle answer rude!
The boatman underneath the cliff
Stoves out his bark from shore,
The bounding pillows bear his skiF
Fast as bird might soar;
Oh Echo. who
Asked il OF you
To ply the mimic oar;
The owl that in his quiet nook
slept all the sunny day,
Perched ON the tree beside the brook,
Hoots out his doleluI lay;
Oh Echo. who
Asked this OF YOU
To mock the owlel grey!
Oh Echo lives among the hills,
A merry lie bath he,
To every voice his horn he fills,
And answers cheerily;
Oh Echo. who
Asked il Of you
To show such spiteiul glee!
