NUMBER 9.
Female HcrOiSm.

A curious story is told at this momeut Of :
second Joan of Arc who has appeared in the
Turkish army. A girl named Cara, des-
cendant Of Solomon Pacta former Goveror OF
Moroch, in Asia, arrived lately at the city OF
Adana, on her way to Constantinople. SHE
marched at the head Of corps of irregular
cavaly; many persons tried to persuade her
to abandon the strange enterprise; but moth
ing shook her courage or her resolution to
combat the enemies of her country. Som,
persons then thought TO ntimdate her by
saying that if she was determined to remain il,
the army she must give a trial of her skill By
an assault at arms. The Governor of Adana.
vino was informed Of the fact, ordered tha.
the young girl should be brought before him
aud he asked her if she still persisted in hel
resolution. She reaponed in the affirmative,
and added that she would engage wIlingl,
in the trial at arms to which they had said
she mus submit. provided they would give hel
for an adversary, the bravest and most vigor-
Gus of the 1000 cavaliers of which the de.
tachmen: wss composed. The combat took
place Immediately, and after a contest of some
minutes, the cavalier chosen Tor her adverse
ry was disarmed by the young girl and de-
cIared vanqushed. The Governor then or.
dered that she should be regularly enrolled
counted her down 1860 piasters, ($75,) and
gave the rank OF officer TO her brother, who
served in an inferior grade.

BAYARD TAYLOR.

The following article in relation to this dis
tinguished writer, we find in the Lowell
NeWs.
Bayard Taylor, of New York Tribune, has
prepared course of lectures embracing the
main points of interest in his late travels in
the EasL-Some of our readers may be aware
that Bayard Taylor was printer, who, nine
or ten years ago. in company with a cousin,
Europe he supported himself by writing let
ters to a Philadelphia paper. The result of
bis travels were "Views afoot," one of the
most popular books of travel ever issued
from the New York Press. We next find
him the City Editor of the Tribune. Again
California and Mexico furnish matter for his
facil pen. and pleasure to numerous admirers.
Mr.. Taylor has during his tour visited
most Of the noted parts of the East, and has
penetrated further into the coast of Africa
than any other European traveller: he came
home rich in fl nit of extensive travel and in
tercourse with nearly every people on the
globe.
We saw Mr.. Taylor's return to the Tribune
office. The telegraphic dispatch announcing
the arrival Of the Sea Serpent was about be-
ing sent up TO the composing room for the
Evening Edition, and the editors and report
ers were ga hered in groops, discussing the
probable change in Bayard's personal appear
ance, after an absence Of two years and four
months in the tropics, when young man,
att red in the uniform of masters mate,
stepped into the room, and slapped Ripley
on che back. That gentleman--the literary
editor-amazed at SO rude an assault, turned
his spectaced eyes upon the new conner. 'Is
that you? Why, how are you old fellow ?"
And then ensued such shouting, and
crowding. and welcoming as is rarely witness
ed in the Greeley sanctum.
The cause of Mr. Tayor's late tour was
the death Of a beautiful woman whom he
had pledged his troth. Consumption. how
ever, robbed him of a loved companion, and
gave Heaven another angel. A few days
before her death they were married, and
when her remains were laid beneath the wild
flowers. he Sc; out for the East, with her last
sigh still tanning his cheek. His course has
since been one Of uninterrupted success, and
his mission eminently prosperous
his heaven.wife has hovered over his path
way. cheered his saddened spirit. and smooth.
ed his rugged way Mr. Taylor. although
widely known as writer. will achieve still
greater renown as lecturer. and il is not toe
much TO predict that the young author will
leave name that his country may be proud
to honor.

Rum Statistics,


A few days since we visited the Northern
Home for Frendless Children, situated in But
tonwood street for the purpose of ascertaining
or learning the history Of the children under
the charge of the kind matron, Mrs Mallory.
We found about thirty-lhree children whose,
ages ranged from two years TO ten, and our
surprise was great when informed by the
matron, that all Of them had parents living.
When we first looked upon them, our idea
was that they were children whose parents
had died, and thus left them friendless. Far
better that it had been so, than for them to
be existing in kind of living dealh-to be
breathing an atmosphere of rum, despised and
revled, while their little children are left to
the care of strangers. Oh! how ashamed and
dastardly would the rum seller feel, if he
would visit this home, and see the babes that
he has, by means of his poison, cast out from
a mothers affection.
Think of it, oh ye men, who claim the cal
ling of rumselling to be an honest and res
pectable one, because the State grants you a
license, Of the child at home, when you sell

age He was one of the most beautiful and

No one could look upon him, and think of the
place he called his Home, without the mos.
painful sensation. Surely, thought we, no
mother could abandon such darling boy as
that, one as good as he was beautiful, accor-
ding to the testimony Of the matron. But
such was the fact. The mother of that boy,
young widow, once handsome, was com
mon vagrant and drunkard, often picked up
in the street, so drunk that she was unable to
reach her miserable lodgings. On several oc-
casions she came near, while drunk, setting
fire to the house and buring her child. Her
neighbors sent the boy to the Asylum
