cerning O5man Pasha's reception by the
Russians: The Grand Duke Nicholas

stretched out his hand, shook the hand
of Osman heartily, and said:
Il compliment you on your defense OF
PleYna. 1t is one OF The most splendid
military feats in history"
Osmau replied sadly, rose painfully to
his feet in spite Of his wound, and said
something that L could not hear. he
then reseated h h'mself.
The Russian officers all cried, "BraVo,
bravo" repeatedly, aud all saluted him
respectfully.
There was not one among them that
did not gaze on the hero Of Pieyna with
the greatest aum.ratlon aid sympathy.
Prince Charise, OF RounlaHia, who had
arrived, rode up and repeated almost
every word OF the Grand Duke, and like
wise shook hands with Osmar, who
again rose and bowed, this time In grim
silence. He wore q Loose blue cloak,
with no apparent mark on il to desig-
nate his rank. He is large, strongly
built mar, the lower part Of his face is
covered with short, b ack beard, with
out a streak OF gray, ana he has a large
Roman nose and black eyes. 81. is a
