such an insight into the weakness OF the Aus
TRAN system of administration as IN Debreczln
This city is the center OF the most lnsuTrec-
tionarv population in the country. In twenty
four hours an army OF $4,000 OF the brayest SOL
diers in Europe could be collected from the
surrounding districts and from the city itself

pressors.
Vet. all the Austrian forces stationed III the
place do not amount to t'eO regImeHts-and these,
Italian republicans, almost as dlsaftec.ed as the
Hupparians themselves. could hardly credit
this, at first, it seemed so very different from
the usual very skillful policy of the Government
wherever the disaffected are TO be kept down.
However, my acquaniances gave an expiana-
ton. and 1t appears perfectly correct. The Aus
TRANS really have not forces enough, who will not
be exposed TO the democratic influences OF this
population. They must station foreign soldiers
here, according to their system.
They should also be men, who are IN no danger
of remem. ering that they are ireemen, as well
as soldiers and really the draft on this class
of men has been so strong through various parts
of the Austrian Empire of late, that he supply
!, failing. This complicated system Of oppres-
sion, so skillfully propped up on every side, Is
beginning at length to sink IN on itself There
are laws OF nature which even 1t must yield to.
II is q momentous fact, that for the most popu-
lous and independent city OF Inner Hungary, the
Austrian power can not find a sufficient ganI-
son.

The Generals Story.

To realize the truth as we'll as the rich
ness of the following story, 1t is absolute
ly necessary to see and hear the General
himself repeat it, with all the proper EN-
phasis and action, suited to each word:

had its origin at Bunker Hill, soon altar
the great battle; at least so says the Gen
eral. II seems the Generals father buri
ed his tools in the cellar of his house in
Charleston, before the British burned that
place, and some weeks after the grea, bat
tie, the old man and one Colonel Wood,
came into the town TO see what they could
discover among the ruins. But as they
crossed CharIe>town Neck they were seen
by a British officer stationed in the float
ing battery then lying in Mystic river, and
presently they were entertained by shot
from one of the guns which buried itself
in the earth near by them. OF course they
took to their heels and run for life. On
the Neck was then standing brick Chin
ney, the house to which it belonged hav-
ing been burned down. AMI to this chin
ney they br,ook themselves for safety, but
no sooner had they got behind il. than an
| other shot striking the top,i ratified down
as the Generals father always expressed
it, like thousand OF brick righ, on to us. '
The story spread, and in time "dowr

The Constitutional Correspondent re-
la'e> a mes, incredible story, or curious
imposition. which Of the two time will
prove. On the 3Oh Of September last, a
stranger was arrested in small village in
the district of Lebas, near Frankfort on
the Oder, bearing all the marks OF C"n-
casian origin He is represented as speak
ing bu, broken German, and on being call
ell upon to give an account OF himself, said
his name was Jophar Norin. and that he
came from a country called Laxaria, stu
ate in the portion of the world called SAX
ria. He appears to understand none OF the
European languages, bnt reads and writes
what he calls the Laxarian and Albanian
toupues. The latter he declares to be the
written language of the clerical orders in
Laxaria, the other the common language
of his people. He says 'ha, his religion is
Christian, and that il is called lspaiian.-
Laxaria he represents to he many humid
red miles from Europe, and separated b,
vast oceans from it, His purpose in com.
ing to Europe was to seek long los,
brother, but that he suffered shipwreck
on the voyage, where he did not know
nor could he trace his route on shore or
any map or globe. The five great com
par,nents Of the earth he calls Sakria, Af
lar, Aslar, Au>lar and Euplar. The au
thori,ies in Frankfort on the Oder have
decided that this mysterious stranger is mo-
an imposter, ami they have requested thai
he may he removed to Berlin to undergo
an examination by the learned and scien
tfic Of the metropolis.
