and east towards British Inda,l 1900

bracing such great numbers Of people,
has been gradual consolidation Of the
Slavic race. Bulgaria, Ragusa, Bohe-

it's nationality with increased grandeur,
until they no wpresent themselves in the

Austria and the Slavi Of Turkey havo

The Hungarian war ended with the un-

tion, is no, on the side Of Turkey, and
the remifcations Of the Russian policy

the separation and expulsion Of the Turks

NATIONAL HAND WRITING.--Ata re-
cent sitting of the Paris Academy OF
Science, some papers were read relative
TO hand writing. Among, tho facts sta
ted, the most remarkable was, that no
man can ever get rid Of The style OF hand
writing peculiar 10 his nation. If he be
Euelish.he always writes in English style;
if French,in the French styles if German,
Italian or Spanish, in the style peculiar
10 his nation. ! am acquainted with a
Frenchman who had passed all his life
in Eog gland, and who is English in dress,
habits, tastes, everything, who speaks
English liko our countrymen, and writes
English Nth ten times more correctness
than ninety-nine in the hundred Of us,bu'
who cannot for the life Of him, inmate
our mode OF writing. ! have also heard
speak of an English youth, who was care
fully educated in this country. and for
eighteen years of his life mixed exclu-
sively with the French writing masters,
and perhaps never saw anything but
French wiring in his life, but who all
ways wrote in the same style as we all
do; il was really national instinct. In
Paris all the wfiling-mastcrs profess to
teach the English manner of writing, but
with all their exertions they can never
get their pupils TO adop. any but the
crampeA hand Of the French. Some per
son pretended ,ha, he could tell the char
acier Of individuals from their hand>wrl~
,ings. know not whether he spoke truth
or not, but assuredly he might have as
serted, with the most perfect confidence,
that lie conld distinguish mans country
by h,s handwriting. The difference be-
tween our writing and that Of the French
is immense-a school boy would distin-
guish i, at glance. Nix together Q
hundred sheets Of manuscript written BY
a hundred Of our own counirymen, and
no one would fail TO say which was the
British and which was the French, even
though they should all be written in the
same language and with the same pens
ink, and paper. The difference between
Italian and Spanish and German styles
Of writing is equally as gieat.-Edinb~e

A COLLECTOR OuTwIrrrD.-A Scene
IN CoURT.-In n certain city, not far dis.
tant, there existed for long time, pub
lie and private nuisance, in the form Of q
collector of small debts, who was notori-
GUS for his CALAMITY and knee breeches.
His system was TO dog the debior,against
whom he had claim, at all times and
nndet all circumstances, following him
to his house. office, or store, and even IN
public meeting or church, until bis per
,inacity was usually rewarded by the pay

became extremely odious TO that portion

taking up his quarters there until he
