CoRRUPTIoNs IN TURKEY.-T Turkish Pasha
whose condemnation to term of imprisonment ia
mentioned in the foreign news, was swindIer.
whose operations entitle him to rank with the
Schuylers and Sadliers of more Christian nations.
He was according to the Paris Presse, the Governor
of Adranople and had gained the friendship cf
the Allies by his apparent zaa for Al. Or
this friendship he took advantage to advance his
private fortunes, committing acts of great enormi
ty. At one time the peasants were called upon to
furnish transports for the French army, and the
money for their remuneration was placed in bis
hands for distribution but the amount they got
was nothing, or next to nothing. At another time
oxen were called for, and the Pasha would buy the
number required at price fixed by himself and
sell them again at an enormous profit to the Allied
troops-receivng six pounds for cattle which cost
him three. 1t calculated that the Pasha clear
ed 100000 piastres by these operations in the
cattle market But the matter coming to the
knowledge of Lord Redclife, he induced the Porte
to compel him to disgorge his i'll gotten gains
serious affair brought him into direct collision
with the Porte. A man died without heirs, leav-
ing great landed estate, which, under the Turk.
ish laws, reverted to the government. The Pasha
was ordered to put it up for sale, and soon after
learned that some Jews had gone to Constantine
pie to offer $4,000 piastres for the estate He
made hasty adjudication of the property, and
wrote that he could get but 5000 piastes for 1t.
At the same time he gave orders to high en-
poyee in the ministry of finance, to bid off the
property in his own name, and if necessary to 90
as high as 100000 piastres. This was discovered
by the Porte, and hence the present sentence IL
the Pasba had lived in this country, he would very
likely have escaped punishment, as nearly all great
defaulters do.

Lord Howth,s Raj.

Tom Sheridan was shooting on the moors In
Ireland, and lost his dog. day or two after, il
made its appearance, following an Irish laborer.
Ii was restored to Sheridan, who remarked 10 the
laoorer that !" the dog seemed very familiar with
him." The answer was, Yes ID follows me, as
the rat did Lord Howth.' An inquiry about this
rat drew forth hat is now to be told. Lord
dowth, having dissipated his property retired i'm
very low spirits to lonely chateau on the sea-
coast One stormy night vessel was seen to go
down; and next morning raft was beheld float
ing towards the shore. As it approached, the By
standers were surprised to find that it was guided
ny lady, who presently stepped upon the beach.
She was exqusitey beautiful but they were una
ole to discover who or what she was for she spoke
ran unknown tongue. Lord Howth was struck
With great pity for this fair stranger and conduct
ed her to bis chateau. There she remained for
considerable time, when he became violently enanl-
ored of her, and at last asked her TO become hs
wife. She (haying now learned the English Ian
guage) thanked him for the honor he had in
tended her; but declared in the most positive
terms that she could never be his She then ear
nestly advised him to marry a certain lady of a
neighboring county. He followed her advice paid
his addresses to the lady, and was accepted. Be-
fore the marriage, the beautiful stranger took a
ribbon from her hair, and binding It round the
wrist OF Lord Howth, said, Your happiness de
pends on your never parting with this ribbon"
He assured her that 1T should remain constantly
on his wrist. She then disappeared, and was
never seen again. The marriage took place.
The ribbon was matter of much wonder and
curiosity TO 1.-THE bride; and one night, when
Lord Howth was asleep, she removed it from
his wrist and carried it the fire, in order that
she might read the characters inscribed upon
It. Accidentally she let the fame reach it, anu il
vas consumed. Some time after, Lord Howth was
giving grand banquet in his hall, when the COM
pany were suddenly disturbed by the barking OF
logs. This. the servants said, was occasioned by
= rat which the dogs were pursuing. Presently the
rat followed by the dogs, entered the hall 1t
nourited on the table, and running up to Lord
Howth, stared at him earnestly with its bright.
black eyes. He saved its life; and from that mo-
nent it never Quilted him; wherever he was, alone
lr with bis friends, there the rat AT last the
society OF the rat became very dsagreeabe to Lord
Howth; and his brother urged him TO leave Ire
land Tor time, that he might get rid OF it. He
lid so, and proceeded to Marseiles, accompanied
oy his brother They had just arrived at that place,
and were sitting in the room of an botel when tho
door opened, and in came the rat. II was drip
ping wet, and went straight to the fire to dry it-
sell. Lord Howth's brother, greatly enraged at
the intrusion, seized the poker, and dashed out its
brains #s#
You have murdered me-" cried Lord Howth.
and instantly expired.

are seen clearly by too many, to whose
prurient tastes the picture is attractive in
the very features which make it repulsive
to good men.
1t is no, credible that the patriotic
masses of the democracy of the north, the
men who labor in the fields and the work
shops, will possibly permit the progress of
these evils. They know that the demo-
cratic leaders of the present day, who
now repndate the Wimot Proviso, were
once committed to its support that they
once resisted the Nebraska policy, to
which they now submit as test. They
have no interes, present or prospective in
the spoils and patronage which reconcile
these leaders TO the sacrifice Of their con-
81 stency, and console them for the less Of

without motive in road, in.which every
