The True Story Of Mazeppa.

In, the Church of St. Mary, Galatz,
Roumania, is to be seen the tomb of Ma
zeppa, the famous hetman of the Cossacks,
immortalized by Byron. His adventures,
sung by the bard, we're in reality much
more commonplace than as we have
learned to know them. Mazeppa was a
young Cossack of the Ukraine, who, hav-
ing been ennobled by the Russians, de-
clined to pay his taxes. For this the To-
cal governor, Count Talboski, ordered him
to be stripped naked by his servants and
tied to the back Of his horse, with his
head to the animal tail. The horse was
then floggcd, pistols were discharged
close to his ears, and after being thus ex.
cited he was turned loose. The road
leading to Mazeppa's house was q brille-

path leading through the woods, which
were particularly fertile in thorn bushes
and wild pear trees, and the infuriated
beast, accustomed to follow this route
before, dashed off as soon as he was at
liberty homeward, where his master ar
ived very much the worse for his jour-
ney. He had, however, enough strength
left to call for the gate-keepcr, who rec.
ognized his voice and opened the door, to
close it Immediately to keep out what he
supposed to be Mazeppa's ghost. At last
other servants, recovering from their tear,
came to his assistance and put him to bed
where he remained some months between
life and death from the injuries he had
received. When he recovered he exiled
himself voluntarily to Poland, and join
ing himself to the fortunes Of CharlesXII.,
was mortally wounded at Pultowa, and,
dying at Barnitza his body was brought
to and bulied at Galatz.

The Great AiddlinKs Pariaer Suit.
In the United States Supreme Court on
the 18th the motion was called up to vacate
the decree of the supreme court in the case of
Cochrano vs.. Deneer, tho celebrated suit under
the -four middlings patent, on the gronnd that
prior to the argument in the supreme court
In 1876 the appellces had an understanding
with the appellants, by which the case was
virtually settled and the argument presented
in behalf of defendants was, in consequence
meagcr and insufficient, and hence the court
was led to decide in favor of the validity of the
patent. The result of this motion is of vas, i'm
portancc to the flour and milling interests of
the country.
