European children. The bo:sterous,
rowdy. self asserting child is absolutely
unknown in the East. He would be
considered a lusus nsture In Europe
children are often told that they ought
to be seen but not heard, but it is only
in the East that this phenomenon is real
lied. Respect for his elders and a be-
havior compatible with this respect
which, in fact, in the only form in which
that respect can be inculcated-are the
one first great lesson which a Turkish
child has to learn. BE soon learns il,
for everything around him is in hsr-
m0ny with this injunction; respect is 10
the very air he breathes, and, unless
there are European children in the
neighborhood, there is no fear Of the OPP
posite %contagion. A fear Of having their
children corrupted by the evil commuDl-
cation of Christian (but not because
they are Christian; rather because they
are not Christian) children is not the
least powerful motive which prompts the
Mussulman to pitch his dwelling away
from their habitations. One indirect
consequence Of this mode Of education
is that the children in the East are re
markedly observant. As they are not
occupied 10 jabbering they observe, and
their naturally remarkable gifts in this
respect are allowed full play. 1t is for
this reason that you often see little ur-
chins in the East helping their parents
in complicated domestic duties at an age
when their compeers in Europe are
kicking their nurses and blowing their
trumpets in perambulators.

ANnrrow Essape Of wnIiam Nv.

One cannot bat wonder whether vii.
liam the Fourth OF England ever learned
that a plot was laid for his abduction
during his visit to New York 10 the
spring Of 1882. The prince was a young
aud reckless midshipman, given 10 airta-
ton, and to the inebriatioH which found
vent 10 wreuehing off oor.knobs: and :.
probably never occurred to him that in
his person the rebels" would 6pd a
hostage worth having. The pro;ect
Originated with Colonel Matthias Ogden.
OF the Jersey line, and the intention was
to surprise the prince and his commits
stoned guardian, Admiral Digby, at
Their quarters in the city mansion OF
Gera.dus Beekman, on Hanover square.
Two officers and thirty-nine men were TO
aid Colonel Ogden in his enterprise.
hmoarking on a rainy night in whale
boats, they we're to land 10 New York
near the Beekman mansion, force the
doors OF the house, capture the admiral
ana prince, and convey them 10 their
boats. The plan was approved by Wash.
ington, but II does not appear that any
decided attempt was made TO carry Il
oqt' some manner the apprehen-
sions OF the British leaders we're excited
for the safety OF the prince. aud every
preeaution was taken against a surprise.
Had It not been Tor this warning. the
9oldness OF The plan appears likely 10
have insured ia success.

GENERAL PILLOWS CASE.

General Pillows letter to 8 New York
paper, mentioned in our dispatches yes
terday, was we'll calculated to excite sym
patty and comm:sserAtion. The words
fall as il from one in great agony Of spir-
it. How his heart must have been wruDg
to give forth such an expression. 1t
sounded like q wall from one who had
given up all as lost. His case is indeed
touching. The iates seem to mock him
in his old age, the very time when be
might reasonably have expected to enjoy
competency and domestic tranquility.
Before the war Gen. Pillow was a wealthy
man, and had acquired nearly all BY
his iAdomitable energy. The Federal
army, commanded by General Curtis,
seized all bis personal property and
burnt off his four large plantations, be-
cause he was regarded as public enemy
aud a b~elligerent. Among other prop
erty taken was 225 mules, and the gov
ernment refuses to pay for them to this
day. BE sacrificed his all for the com
mon cause Of the Southern people.
Since the war he has gathered the freq
ments Of his fortune about him and by
great exsrtion ard prudential manage
mept has made y start again. Few
young men ia the South have done as
much continuous hard work as General
Pillow in the last ten years, In the
great suit of Riddle, Coleman Il Co. Of

perhaps n hundred thousand dollars

in a short time the assignee will sell him

Of the charge, became generally known
this morning, causing much surprise and

Inquiries were made in all quarters to
