How the Turkish Troops look

Cor. London Standard
| had Scarcely been two hours in
Widdin when a part of the Veto
rious Bashi Bazourks returned to
the fortress. No one who had not
seen the procession could form an
idea of the wonderful picture it
presented. The greater number of
the riders, mounted on their ugly,
lean little horses, which, however,
seem capable of bearing great
fatigue, were Oircassians in long
black, gray, or white coats, with
half a dozen little cartouch pockets
in a row on each side of the breast.
Among them were a few Turks and
Argauts, a negro, two men in Eu-
rOpean dress, except that they wore
the fez, Tartars, Kirghizes and AR
menians. Each one was dressed
differently, most of them barefoot,
and many without saddles OF on
high-peaked wooden ones. The
Circassians carried their arms in a
shaggy, black wooden case, attached
by a strap to their backs, and every
one held the muskets taken from
the enemy upright in his right
hand, resting the but ends on their
legs. The same hand held a short
whip, while in the left were the
reins, and from the shoulder hung
a cimeter in a leather case, red hot
at one end and black at the other.
Men over seventy boys under
twelve white, red, green and
many-colored turbans; yellow, gray,
blue and black trousers, and in
some cases none at all; on all faces
the excitement of battle, the dark
eyes glowing with a dangerous fire;
never was such q motley group, and
to put the climax to this strange
sight a gigantic CiTcassian rode
under a green silk parasol,

speotaoles. No prisoners were
brought in, as quarter is not given

An indian Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians
there is a singular tradition regard
ing the white mans origin and SUI
p%eriority. They say that when the
Great Spirit made the earth, he also
made three men, all Of whom were
Of fair complexion; and that after
making them he led them to the
margin Of a lake and made them
leap therein. One Immediately
obeyed, and came out Of the water
purer than before he bathed; the
second did not leap until the water
became slightly muddy, and when
ne bathed he came up c%opper-col-
ored the third did not leap in
until the water became black with
mud, and he came out with its own
color. Then the Great Spirit laid
before them three packages of bark
and babe them choose, and out of
pity for the misfortune of his color,
he gave the black man his choice.
He took hold of each of the pack
ages, and, having felt them, chose
the heaviest the copper-colored
one then chose second heaviest,
leaving the white man the lightest.
When the packages were opened,
the first was found to contain
spades, hoes and all the implements
of labor the second enwrapped
hunting, fishing and war-like appa-
ratus; the third gave the white man
pens, ink and paper-the engines
Of mind-the materials of mental
i~mprovement-the social link of
humanity-the foundation of the
white mans superiority.
