The Scotchmnn,s Prnrer.

Whether it is true OF not that the Welsh
are quarrelsome people, we cannot under
take to say the following laughable anec-
dote, however, would seem in some meas
ure to countenance the conclusion land
Shakespeare, we believe, almost invariably
represents his Welsh character as t0achy to
a degree) that there is mOdicum Of truth
in the charge. But to the story. A Scotch
ped6ler, without the remotest intention on
his part of getting into quarrel or fight
with any man, had put up with his pack)
for the night, at a country ale-house bor-
dering on Wales, where, as the fates would
have it, he found a motley assem-
blage in the kitchen of the inn, of not the
most desirable individuals and, among the
rest, Welshman, whose aim, from the
very first, it seemed to be to get into hot
water with poor Sawney. The latter, sa-
gaciously appreciating the true character
of his tormentor, and determined to get rid
of him in the quietest way possible, told
him he "did not want to fight" This only
excited to a still higher pitch the 6rauado
of the Welshman, and he told the Scotch
man that he would "make him fight. I"
"Well," says Sawney, eff must fight, let
me say my prayers before l fight" which
the Welshman conceding, the Scotchman
fell on his knees imploring his Maker to
pardon him for "the tlod men he had al
ready killed, and for the one that was d6oOt
to die" The Scotchman slowly rose from
his knees, but not before the Welshman
had made precipitate retreat from the
| room.

Russian Frienlshin.

Gov. Curtin, United States Minister to
Russia, held conference with Gortscha-
koff, during which three books were
brought in from the archives of the For
eign Office. The first contained an auto
graph letter from Napoleon I'LL, asking
Russia to join with England and France in
breaking up the Federal blockade, and
guaranteeing the independence of the Con-
federacy. The letter asserted that Eng
land had promised her cooperation. The
second contained The Emperor's reply. He
fatty declined the alliance proposed by
Napoleon, and declared that, in the event
of any European interference in the war,
Russia would actively aid the North. The
third book had within it copies Of the seal
ed orders given to the Russian Admiral,
who, as our readers will remember, brought
his fleet into New York harbor during the
war. The orders directed him to proceed
at once, with his whole available force, to
New York city; to remain at anchorage
there for some time and, in the event Of
European interference with the blockade,
to put himself, and his whole force at the
command Of the Cabinet at Washington,
and promised abundant and speedy rein

had her arrested. Her story is that she
was married to Mcclellan twenty-three
years ago in Stockport, England, to which
place she went from her home, distance
of 40 miles, to avoid Mcclellan, who was
said to be "too fond Of the women" He
followed her from place 10 place until she

marry him. She has no marriage certif-

ceremony was performed was burned, and
the records destroyed. She also states that

son Mcclellan has privately admitted to her
that she was his wife, and that they have

him for bastardy, but on the examination
it was demonstrated that she was not
likely to become a mother either by Nc
