cised many virtues for which they have received
no-knd Of credit. Their annals exhibit many
noble and notable specimens Of greatness and
goodness that may bear comparison with any
that are known 10 political or military contem-
porary history. The mighty family of Gilman
have convuseed the earth with their deeds Of
prowess and ambition, but many Of them have
adorned Eastern Europe with many ofihe best
most elevating, and ennobling institutions and
deeds that are known to the history Of Eastern
Europe. In all that Is calculated 10 improve
humanity, the Ottoman empire is at this mo-
ment 10 advance Of Russia Lamartine says
Justly, that "the civilization Of Eastern Europe
is now what Western Europe possessed in the
middle ages" Turkey is greatly in advance
Of this.
We are standing near that time-sepulchre in
which the Ottoman dynasty is TO be engulphed, +,
and ii becomes us TO look upon the passing pa
geani From the year 1910 A. D., that mighty
family has kept the world in awe, and even It's
passing shadow convulses the earth. Let US
trace the remarkable dynasty Of Gilman.
Authentic history knows the Turks first as
slaves of the Khan Of Geougen. They were
residents of the Golden Mountains, or girdle
Of the earth, equally distant from the Caspian,
the Polar, the Chinese, and Bengal seas-2 900
miles from each. The Turks first appear as
workers of iron, which shows state Of knowl-
edge greatly in advance Of pastoral life, since
it proves that they possessed the science Of
me,allurry in some degree. As these Tartar
serfs increased in numbers and knowledge,
they discovered that the arts which made them
useful as serfs might enable them to carve their
way TO freedom and empire. They needed on
Iy leader to inculca,e this lesson and blaze a
path. and Klapro,h saws they found him in
Thoumen. The serfs fought decisive battle
with the Khan of Geougen, overthrow him,
and laid tho founda,;on of their anhseoucn,

is decidedly the best monthly that vas ever

far asst toucheson politics, it has been deyo-
ted to the defence and advancement Of
Southern interests and institutions. As
was stated in its original prospectus. it W as
