turkish BraYerY.

When crossing at Airchova, a single Turk
exhibited degree of bravery which would paral.
lei any thing of the kind ever performed in our
Mexican war He was private soldier of the
Bachi Bayouk, and had by some means been
separated from his regiment while retiring from
the enemy Seeing his unprotected position,
three or four Russian troops made dash for
him. But the Turk, undaunted, stood up to
receive them, and as the formost trooper swung
his sword to deal the blow, the soldier, by a
powerful effort, seized his horse and threw him
on his launches, and then quick as lightning,
cleft the troopers skull. Then sprnging to
the saddle, he turned to face the others, one of
whom, by bis uniform, he knew to be an off
Ger, but dashing to the charge, he shouted the
name of Allah, and spurred to the contest:
With single hand he maintained the unequal
fight for some time and till two out offour lay
at his feet. The Russian officer still fought
bravey, but animated by fanaticism and the
determination to conquer, the Moslem seized
the officer, though larger man, by the belt,
and dashed him like child to the earth. With
another blow he hurled the remaining trooper
from the saddle, and securing the steeds, he
made his way in safety to the Imperial camp,
where bis exploit had been witnessed, aud
where he was dubbed captain on the spot. l
merely mention this incident to show that.
though much underrated by the world in gener-
al, the Turk has bravery and courage, and
would, under good discipline. forma most eff
cient soldier.

Seme yeurs ago, Prof. Larrabee visited Port
land, Maine. He had been strolling in the
neighborhood, and was ou, until nightall, and
about mile or two from his quarters. He
started homeward, and soon, came to an inlet
for the tide water, spanned by railroad bridge
nearly half mile in length. He got about
one-thrd Of the way across, and heard the
scream of the steam whistle; on looking back,
he saw the lightning train, coming on at the
rate of forty miles an hour. To got back was
impossible; to outrun it was equally impossible;
to stand by the side Of the track on that mar
row bridge, with a considerable specimen of
the deep blue sea beneath, was not expedent.
What should he do? One thinks very fast un.
der such circumstances. On came the train
louder shricked the whistle; the bridge was
gained, and the Professor was on it. At this
moment his eye caught sight Of the telegraph
pole standing beside the bridge He ran to it
caught hold of it, and cooned up in very un-
dgnifed baskerville the screaming, snorting,
galloping train dashed by. AS soon as the
nervous excitement calmed down, he descended
and walked slowly homeward.

The Latest Fish Story.

The following story is told by correspond
ent Of the Charleston Standard:
"A gentleman Of this city, in company with
friend some time ago, while in Florida deter
mined upon fishing excursion. A large eight
cared boat was procured and two stout, able
bodied negroes to row it. They took with
them cast net, and proceeded short distance
from the shore, where they soon found them
selves in school of muets. The net was
thrown, but it enclosed such prodgious mul-
titude Of fish, that to draw it in was found to
be utterly impracticable. In the meantime the
fish began to jump into the boat, when it be-
came so full as to be in danger of snking.--
The net was cut loose, and they began to pull
for the Shore but soon found themselves una
able to propeI the boat through the fish, until
after great exerlion and considerable delay,
they finally reached the shore just in time to
prevent her sinking, as the gunwales were
down to the surface of the water. After draw
ing her on the beach, they proceeded to unload
their cargo, which consisted of eight cart loads
of fish, from the heads of which they had fish
stew for two months. What think you of that
for fish story, every word of which is literal.
ly true. Let fishermen beat that if they can.

AWhisper to a Wife.

Study your husbands temper and character;
and be it your pride and pleasure to conform
to his wishes. Check at once the first advance
to contradiction, even of the most trivial ma
ture. Beware Of the first dispute Whatever
might have. been concealed as IL defect from
the lover, must with greater diligence be con-
cealcd from the husband. The most intimate

posed to exclude decorum Let your husband
be dearer and of more consequence to you than
any other human being; and have no hesitation
in eonfessng those feelings to him.

Singular Story.

In the second act of Der Freyschutz, during
the ncantation scene, Il skeleton is produced
upon the stage, and this frighful appariIcn
always creates sensation. The skeleton is a
real one. In the year 1856, says French
writer, young man Of some eighteen years Of
age, and whose name was Bosmaison, fell in
love with Mademoiselle Nanine Durival, a
pupil like himself, and daughter of the lodge
keeper of the Count d. Artois. Mademoisee
Nanine, by her coquetries, increased the artless
pa ssion of her comrade, and gave him hope
until the day when she met the handsome
moustaches of NJ. Manure, major, commanding
the French Guards, who were always on duty
at the opera house. Boismason perceived his
misfortune, judged it irreparab'e, and thought
no longer of any thing but vengeance
One night. at the corner ola street, he waited
for the passing by of the Guards after the
performance, and on their approach resoutely
seized his successful rival by the throat. Ma.
zurie's first thought was, of course, to kill the
aggressor; but reflection upon his youth and
slender form made the gallant soldier SMILE
At his direction, three of the men detached the
straps from their muskets, tied up the furious
young man, and placed him under the peristyle
the opera house, where be spent the night,
Ikea garroted man. Early next morning, old
Demern, the keeper of the place, found Bois-
mason, who had made vain attempts to get
himself loose, learned from his nights adyen-
lure, laughed at it great deal for his own part,
and did not fail to make the whole theatre
merry with it. Boismaison. ridicu'ed by his

bed, and died, after making strange kind OLA
will. lie bequeathed his body to NJ. Lamairon,
physician of the opera, and who had little
museum in the building itself The poor young
man begged NJ. Lamairon to keep his skeleton
in this collection, in order that he might be,
after his death, still near her whom he had
loved. %
10 spite Of the vicissitudes ofthe Royal Acad.
emy of Music, in spite of fires and other mis-
fortunes, which have caused its transportation
to various places, perhaps owing to traditional
for the last wish of the young fgurant,
his skeleton has, to this day, continued to make
part of the property Of the establishment
And thus, after death, theatrical life again com.
