LAST SPEECH OF THEIRS,

The follow ing was the last public
speech of NJ. Thiers, delivered upOu his
arrival at st. Gernlain in reply to con-
gratulatOry address from the inhabitants
Of that old court suburb:
81 am very much touched by your visit
and by the tokens Of affection, (refering
to several large bouqnets) which you
bring me. The voice of an honorable
citizen Speaking to the reader of the ad-
dress) has always a claim upon my atten-
tion. As I have already said, for many
years past, look upon the republic as
the only form of government possible in
France. Those who, without being able
to substitute anything for it, seek to pre-
vent it from taking root, are the real dis
turbers and anarchists upon whom France
will soon call to account for the moral and
material injury which has been inflicted
upon her this year. You nay reckon,
tn erefOre, upon my constancy in support
of the republic; but you must allow me
to be not less instant in giving it the
epithet of cshservative-for it is to be
permanent. 1t must give guarantees to
order as we'll as to liberty, Look at the
progress which our opinions have made
this year, and you will see that they are
due to the tranquility and the tirmness
of the country. Let us persevere in this
attitude. Calm and determined we shall
succeed. For my own part, I entertain
no doubt as to our success; everything
presages it, and do not scruple to fore
shadow it to you in all'conidence."

IMITATION MoNEY.-A Washington dis
patch says: Many complaints have
reached the Treasury Department that
merchants and business men in various
parts of the country have been in the
habit Of printing business cards bearing
such u close resemblance to the United
States and national bank issues thu t
many people have been deceived thereby
and quantities of it passed as good mon
ey by parties who have gather ed q num-
Der of these cards. Some Of the samples
received at the Secret Service Division
hero are Of a character to deceive even
observant persons, while they bear upon
their face the fact that they arc not re al
ly genuine, These issues are all in vio-
lation of law. Section 5,43O of the re-
vised statutes forbids the engraving or
printing of anything in the impression
or the likeness of any United States obli-
cations or other security, or any part
thereof, except under tho authority. of
the Secretary of the Treasury. The pen
atty is a heavy fine and imprisonment
Many in dictments have been found
against persons on this account, and the
department intends now to prosecute to
the full extent further offenses of this
character rs matter of protection to the
community; the poor and more ignor-
ant members of which ale very generally
imposed upon.

It is not generally known that Osn,an
Pasha, the fighting officer of the Turk
ish army, is an old Burlington boy. but
such is indeed the fact. His real name is
John Smith. His father emigrated from
Smithville, Smith County, and came to
this city, where John was born. He
drove a dray for few years, but after
walds entered the ministry and became
revivalist. When the war of the rebel
lion broke out he was one of the first to
spring to his feet when the Rebel bat
teries fred on Sumpter, and started for
Canada at rate of speed that indicated
his intention to eat his supper at Toronto
on the same day he left Burlington. He
has never been seon OF heard of since,
and q great many people who mover knew
him say they would not be- surprised at
all If Osman Pasha was our John Smi, h.

A FEARFUL RISK FOR GIRLS.

The pastor of church in one of
our large cities said to me not long
ago. F'I have offlciated at forty
weddings since I came here, and in
every case, save one, I felt tha. the
bride was running on awful risk.
Young men Of bad habits and fast
tendencies never marry girls Of
their own sort, but demand a vile
above suspicion. So, pure, sweet
women, kept from the touch Of evil
through the years of their girl
hood, give themselves, with all their
costly dover of womanhood, into
the keeping of men who, in base
associations have learned to un-
dervalue all that belongs to them.
and then find no repentance in the
sad after years. There is but one
way out of this that I. can see, and
that is for you-the young women
of the country--to require in asso-
Citations and marriage, purity for
purity, sobriety for sobriety, anI
honor for honor. There is no rea-
son why the young men Of this
Christian laod should not be just
as virtuous as its women, and if the
lois of society and love be the
price they are forced to pay for
vice, they will not pay it. I admit
with sadness that not all our young
women arc capable Of this Eigh
standard for themselves or others,
but l believe there are enough earn
est, thoughtful girls in the society
of our country to work wonders If
faithfully aroused. Dear girIs, will
you help US, in the name OF Christ?
Will you, first OF all, be true to
yourselv es and God-so pure in
your inner and outward life that
you shal have righ; to ask that
the young man With whom you
marry shall be the same? The au-
i'll gull OF dishonor is close beside
your feet, and in it, fathers, bro
hers, lovers and sons, are going
wn. Will you help Us III our
great work ?"

BATTLE BUNNY.
(MALvERN HILL, 1862

After the men were ordered to lii
lnow, o white rabbit, which had beer
hopping hithcr and thither over the fieli
swept by grape and mnskctry, took refug'
among the skirmishcrs, in the brS ast of :
Of the battlo Of Malverl
HILL
Bunny, lying in tho grass
Saw the shining column pass,
Saw the starry banner fly,
Saw tho chargers fret and fnme,
Saw the Tapping hat and plume;
Saw them with his moist and shy,
Most ullspeculative eye,
Thinking only in the dew,
That it was fine review
Till q flash, not oil. of stcol,
Where tho rolling caisson's wheel
Brought a rumble and roar
Rolling down that velvet floor,
And like blows Of autumn fail,
SharDly thrcshed the iron hail.
: Bunny. thrilled by unkr own fears,
Raised his soft and pointed ears,
Mumhled his prehensile lip,
Quivercd his pulsating hip,
As the sharp vindictive yen
Rose above the screaming shell;
Thought the world and all its men,
All the charging squadrons ment,
All we're rabbit.hunters' then,
ALT capture him intent.
Bunny was not much to blame,
Wiser folks have thought the same
Wiser folk, who think they spy
Every i'll begins with I.
Wildly painting, here and there,
Bunny sought tho freer air,
Till he hoped below the hill,
And 81 v, lying close and still,
Men with muskets in their hands,
(Never Bunny understands
That hypocrisy of sleep,
In the vigils grim they keep,
As reoumbept on that spot,
They elule tn level shot.)
One-a grave and quiet man,
Thinking of his wife and child
Far beyond the Rapidan,
Where Androscoggin smiled
Felt the little rabbit creep.
Nes tllng by his arm and side,
Weakened from strategic sleep,
To that soft appeal replied,
Drew him in his blaokened breast,
And
But you have guessed tho rest.
Softly over that chosen pair
Omnipresent Love and Care
Drew a mightier Hand and Arm,
Shielding them from every harm,
Right and left the bullets waved
Saves the savior for the saved.

A Judge Dying Upon the Bench.

About six o'clock one Thursday eve
ming recently, while the Supreme Court
was in session at Knoxville, the county
seat of Crawford county, Georgia, Judge
Barnard Hill, the presiding Judge, died
upon the bench in sudden and unex-
pected manner. The facts appear to be
as follows: A criminal trial, in which
two men were charged with larceny, had
just been concluded and the jury re-
turned verdict of guilty" They
neglected to state the value of the goods
stolen, and Judge Hill remarked to them
that they had best retire and supply
this portion of the verdict They re-
turned to the room and lull in the pro-
ceedings followed. A few moments
after one of the attorneys looked up an
discovered that Judge Hills head W IS
thrown back upon his chair, deaf
pallor oyerspreading his counter mce.
Friends rushed to him, but with an easy
gasp his spirit passed away, and lie sat
dead upon the bench in the midst Of the
discharge Of his high official duty,

Heroic Rescue OF an American Crew,

The crew of an American schooner.
Louis A. SWEET were recently landed at
Liverpool by the ship Thomas Brockle-
bank. AS the latter vessel was home
ward bound from Jamaica she fell in with
the schooner in disabled condition and
flying signals of distress. Captain
Brown at once backed the yards and stood
for the vessel, the captain of which in
formed him that she was making much
water, which was gaining upon the
pumps. These had to be kept continu-
ally at work. He asked to be taken off,
and also said his crew were thoroughly
exhausted throughs incessant work, and
were unable to launch their own boat.
At the time thu weather was exceeding
ly rough with terrific sea on, and a
boat could only be lowered with the ut
most danger. Four OF the crew of the
Thomas Brocklebank, however, with the
boatswain volunteered to man a small
boat, and they put off to rescue the
helpless sailors. The boat could not
approach the schooner in safety, and
lines were thrown, by which the men
were hauled through the sea into the
bout, the captain being the last to leave,
and he swan to the boat. The men
were almost naked at the time of their
rescue, aud when they were taken on
board the Thomas Brocklebank fresh
supplies OF clothes were given to them
and they were kindly treated by Captain
Brown, to whom the greatest praise is
due for his bravery and humanity, as
we'll as to the sailors who so heroioally
manned the boat The Louis A. Swetl
was owned in Boston, and at the time Of
the disaster was bound from Accra tc
Boston with palm oil. The distressed
seamen were taken 70 the Sellers Home

Bashi-

The Bashi- Bazouk is commonly ILL.,
mounted; very few of them, except re-
cruits from Syria, riding horses that show
any trace of blood. Their horses are
always kept bridled, even when eating
their food. The saddles are of one pat
tern, but their brides are as various as
their owners tastes. Some riders prefer
halters. The men are from all parts of
the Turkish Empire-Kurds, Albanians
ana Arnauts predominating among them.
Their clothing may be rich or may be
rags. 1t may be also all shades of din
giness, or every variety OF vivid colors.
An enormous shawl or girdle around the
waist is universal. They have the mer-
tied reputation of being the greatest pill
ayers in the world, and this girdle is the
hiding-place or receptacle of their booty.
Their bodies have been sometimes found
with gold to the value of Thousand or
eighteen hundred dollars hidden in it's
folds. They are not hard to discipline
as to military manouvers, but they battle
every attempt to put any restraint upon
them after they break ranks. OFF the
parade ground they are dreaded equally
by friend and foe. During the Crimean
war no punishments would keep them
from insulting, striking OF wantonly
bayoneting English soldiers whom they
met in public places. Their bitterest
hatred is for Russians; their sweetest
hope, the plumber of Moscow. Their
officers can animate them to fury with,
that word, which is received by shouts
with their hands upon the pistols in
their belts) of the Arab word for "Let us
hope it-hash0Ilah!" Their arms are
rude and various. They depend upon
the government theyserve for distribu.
ton of lances and carbines, but every
man carries his own yattaghan, and has
two, three, or four enormous pistols.

encomiums by the home and foreign press.
Comment on the above facts is unnecessary.
