TURKISH TROOPS.


The Zeibecks and Egyptians and the. Di
ference between Them.
A Constantinople correspondent gives
the following contrasting picture of two
bodies of troops belonging to the Turk
ish army:
The arrival of the Zeibecks is the
latest terror. There are about 1000 of
these wild mountaineers now in the city,
and the mere sight of them is sufficient
to frighten the peaceful citizens. En-
listed in the hill country back of Smyrna,
they were brought here by steamer, on
the way up amusing themselves by taking
charge of the vessel, and using on one
another the numerous arms they wear at
their waistbelts. Ipassed about twenty
of Internationally on the opposite side
of the street. A wildly picturesque set
of cut throats they were as ever lived.
Compared with them the stray Bashi-
Bazouk sinks into insignifcance. On
their head is fez of the reddest color,
about twice the size of the fashionable
one, ornamented with tremendous tassels
and swathed with a bright scarf of
silk. A heavy knotted fringe from this
scarf drops down over evil countenances,
giving one glimpse now and then of
coal black eyes, as the owner thereof
shakes his head in ionish way to catch
a glimpse of the wonders of the shop
windows. On the body is a short zouaye
jacket. black or yellow, and underneath
is wrapped, in many turns, long wide
sash, leaving the tawny neck and breast
bare. The handles of numerous wea-
poDs-fint-lock pistols, scimeters. re-
volxers, yataghans - protrude from q
hide belt, while pair of black trousers,
sreathing half way to the knee, completes
th8 costume of these savages, who have
cMnged the trade of brigandage to that
of legitimate (9) warfare. Happily they
are to leave, after the presentation of a
flag by the sultan, and the bestowal of O
blessing by the Sheik-al. Islam, 70 say
nothing of several outrages committed
in the neighborhood of their camp.
In great contrast to the Zeibecks is
the Egyptian contingent which passed
through the Bosphorus not long since,
on its way to the Black sea. happened
to 9 on board an American corvette
the Vandalia-when the nine steamers
containing the troops passed between
Scutari and Pera. As the transports
rounded Leander's tower, the sailors
wersssent aloft in the cleanest of white
suits, presenting q noted difference to
tAtir Turkish cousins, who invariably
are clothed in piratical-looking jackets
of dirty blue. Abreast OF the imperial
palace of Dolma-B -Baehtche the colors Of
Egypt were lowered in honor of the
sultan, the regimental bands striking up
the national anthem, while the battalions,
in perfect military line, presented their
highly-burnished American arms. Then
the crews on the yard-arms gave fierce
hurrah for their "Padishah," which
would have done credit to American
sailors, and the feet passed cn beyond
the green hills of Candilli.

A Bear Repulses an Alligator.

A party of six gentlemen were taking a
sail up McGirt's creek, Florida, recently.
While proceeding up the stream their
attention was arrested by the spectacle of
black animal, which they took to be a
hog, swimming from one bank to another.
Suddenly the serrated back of an alliga-
tor, who doubtless considered himself in
suited by the invasion of his domain, was
seen cleaving the water in the direction
of the intruder. As his ponderous jaws
were about to close upon the victim,
bruin raised one of his massive paws and
bestowed hearty twack upon the skull
of the assurian, which caused him to dis
appear beneath the surface. He soon
emerged again, but the near approach
of the boat prevented renewal OF the
contest. The eparty were, unfortunately,
unprovided with weapons OF any descrip-
tion. One of them, seizing plank lying
in the boat, struck the bear several blows,
and another broke an oar over his head,
but failed to prevent his reaching the
bank, up which he scrambled more
frightened than injured. He was we'll
grown, weighing probably 2a0 pounds.

Time to Me.

Time to me this truth hath taught
'Tis truth that's worth revealing
More offend for want Of thought
Than from any want Of feeling.
II advice we would convey,
There's time we should convey it :;
II we've but a word to say,
There's time in which to say it.
Many beauteous flower decays,
Though we tend it e'er so much;
Something secret on it preys,
Which no human aid can touch.
So in many a loving breast
Lies some cancer grief concealed,
That If touch'd is more oppressed
Left unto itself, is healed.
Oft, unknowingly, the tongue
Touches on chord 30 aching
That word or accent wrong,
Pains the heart to almost breaking.
Many tear of wounded pride,
Many fault Of human blindness,
Has been soothed or turned ASIDE
By quiet voice of kindness.
Time to me this truth has taught
Tis truth that's worth revealing:
More offend for want of thought
80 Than from any want Of feeling.
