A TURKISH ROMANCE.

A certain Pasha in high position had
wife-only one--to whom he lad al
ways been an indulgent and loving hus
band. They had no child, but still he
kept faithful to his promise to never
take another wife. One day while he
was out one of the servants came and
told him to GO home and enter the house
by private way, open only to the ser
wants. He did so, and went to his
chamber to find it locked. With one
blow it was open, and his dishonor was
onlv too apparent. He was armed but
made no use of his pistols or sabre. He
simply addressed the man, who was one
of his intimate friends. and told him he
could not leave the room until he was
paid. The man stared in hopeless as
constituent and fear, when the Pasha
demanded five francs. The man paid it
and gladly left. The Pasha addressed
no word of reproach to his wife, but left
the room, and commanded a banquet to
be served that night, but only for him
self and wife. He remained alone till
then. His wife had always eaten with
him and been his companion, instead of
plaything. He had always honored her
above all the women in the world, and
she was treated by him in every respect
not only as al equal, bnt as q superior
being. The banquet was spread. He
went and gave his arm to his wife and
conducted her to the table, placed her
as usual and took his seat opposite. He
smiled on her and talked as usual, but
before he had eaten anything he had
taken the five franc piece and laid it on
the table before her and between them.
For six months he ate every meal with
her and slept by her side, but always
with that five franc piece between them.
Where he had bought her one elegant
dress before he now gave her three
Where he had been kind before he was
now ten-fold kinder in manner, and he
allowed her perfect liberty of action.
Yet every day and every night, Like an
accusing angel, was that piece of money
laid between them. She could not eat,
though pressed nest affectionately, with
that silent accuser there she could not
sleep, though the best physicians tried
their skill, with that spectre beside her
and so when six months were passed, one
day the wasted skeleton body of the
woman was found dead on the divan.

THERE is something in Ristori's voice
which has the effect on one critic of car
rying him back to his mothers knee :"
If this is the Baptism of song" mention
ed by our twilight brother round the cor
ner, it is ceremony from which the mind
revolts, and skepticism as to its efficacy
increases day by day.
THE young lady students of the SYRIA
cuse Medical College are very careless.
Recently three of them purchased the
body of an Auburn convict, and, after
cutting it up, threw the pieces into a
vacant lot, causing intense excitement in
the vicinity, the general opinion being
that diabolical murder had been com
mitted.
ACCORDING to the census of the popu-
lation of Vienna, taken on the 18th ult.,
the number of the inhabitants of that
city, together with its suburbs, is now
l, 100, 999, or $4,000 more than in 1872.

they swallow it they lean across a saw
buck and turn themselves inside out, but
the white is all In their eyes.
AMONG the presents at wooden we'd

they found it WAS only cheese box cover

The practice which some Young me

The practice which some young men
and old ones, too, perhaps-are guilty
of, making unkind and indicate re-
marks about ladies passing along the
street, is very ungentlemanly and should
be rebuked by those who have proper
respect for themselves and due regard
for the delicate feelings of the gentle
sex. Every lady, no matter whether
personally known or not, is entitled to
respectful consideration and protection
in all places and under:all circumstances,
particularly when passing along the
street unprotected.

three gentlemen representing three Moor

From all Occasional Correspondent
DALLAS, TEXAS, January 25.-Since
my departure from Memphis l have
travelled considerably over Texas, and
found no part better adapted to farming
purposes than the country surrounding
Dallas. The soil is very productive
good farmers generally make forty
bushels of corn, fifty bushels oats, TWEEN.
ty bushels wheat and one bale of cotton
per acre, with vegetables, ETC., in pro-
portion. Peaches, pears and apricots
grow in prOfusion, az well as other vaTie-
ties that could be mentioned. Those
who have raised fruit will make it very
profitable for several years to come, and
will find ready market in the city of
Dallas. This is progressive city of
about fifteen thousand inhabitants, To-
Gated in magnificent country, caIcu-
lated to support city of fifteen thou
sand. L could write much about Dallas
and the country surrounding, but space
will not permit. For the Information
and benefit of young men wishing to
come to Texas, / will state that man
is a poor cuSS in these parts. Don't
come unless you have capital, or money
enough to pay your expenses for twelve
months-in that time probably you
may find employment. The country is
full OF young men willing and anxious
to work for their board. There is room
enough in Texas but it takes money to
develop its resources. L find people here
from every State and of all nationalities,
and, as natural consequence, the So
ciety is mixed, but generally good, as
in other parts of the United States. The
political atmosphere is healthy, being
altogether Democratic.

/ BOUNrY-CLAIM SWINDLER.
Abraham Griar, COlOFed, Committed
by Commissions Garrett for
Trial. Charged wI4h At
tempted sWIndIfng
OfURcle Sam,

A short time since a young colored
man called at the office of Colonel Geo.
Gibson, discussing officer at Memphis,
and represented himself to be Abraham
Griar, the brother of Armstrong Griar,
who had been a private in the third reg
iment of United States heavy artillery
during the war. He stated that his
brother died in the service, in hospital,
near Fort Pickering, Memphis, in the
wear 1868; that he abraham Griar) had
filed claim for the collection of his
brothers. bounty in the hands of Mr..
Frank Bras, attorney, Memphis, and he
had been told that the bounty money
had been allowed and ordered TO be
paid. He testified 10 these facts on
oath before United States Commits
sioner David NJ. Philip, and was cor.
roborated in the statement Of the death
Of his alleged brother, while q soldier,
by two brothers named respectively
John and Henry Ivory, although there
were great discrepancies relative to the
date OF the alleged death. The in
formation secured by Colonel
Gibson from the war depart
ment at Washington, was of totally
different character, and Mr.. Bras pro-
duced the certificate of discharge re-
ceived by Armstrong Greer when he
was mustered out of the service at Mem
phis or the thirtieth OF April, 1866,
which clearly proved that Armstrong
Greer could not have died while he was
a soldier. He was unable to ident-
ify Abraham Griar as the identical
Abraham Griar who had filed the claim
in his hands. Colonel Gibson yesterday
made the necessary affidavit before
United States Commissioner Garrett,
accusing Griar with attempting to OBJ
tain money by fraud, and en-
deavOring to obtain money out OF
the United States treasury under false
pretenses, and the brothers Ivory with
perjury. After a careful examination,
conducted by Mr.. ClUugh, assistant
United States district attorney, before
Commissioner Garrett, the three negroes
were committed to jail to await their
trial at the coming term Of the United
States curt in this city. The bail was
fixed at one thousand dollars in each
case. Colonel Gibson is to be congratU-
lated on the prompt action he has taken
in this matter as his sole aim appears to
be to pay only the Tightful claimants,
and his efforts should be seconded by
the colored people whenever they learn
that any frauds of this character are
being attempted on the bounty cftice, as
II is entirely 10 their interest to do so.
