The callisthenic exercises afforded
great entertainment to all present, and
the German song Die Uhren Lieber

A furnish Lady Unvened.

The following extract is from a letter
written by the captain of a Maine brig,
now loading in Smyrna, Turkey:
Speaking Of Turks makes me think to
tell you that l have been highly honored
since l have been here, having had as a
visitor q Turkish lady of high rank
something that never happened before
in Smyrna, so my consignee informs me.
She was the most beautiful woman | have
ever seen, and wonderfully graceful. l
suppose you are aware that the Turkish
ladies are always yelled to all except
their husbands, if they have any; but
this lady was unmarried, and came on
board accompanied by the consignee OF
my vessel, with his wife and sisters aud
a small army Of assistants. She kept
closely yelled while she remained on
deck, but when resting in the cabin a
photograph of my little girl was handed
to her. She, in order to observe it bet.
ter, dropped her veil, and thus remained
during the short time of their visit. She
was just like all handsome women,
perfectly well aware of the fact, and evil
IDENTIFY willing that others should be,
when out of sight Of her W people.
She was perfectly at ease, and just be-
fore leaving recovered her face with her
veil, and assumed hat mysterious look
and appearance common to all Turkish
women.

Hard worker.

Owen Meredith" otherwise Robert
Bulwer, Lord Lytton, viceroy Of India,
is a hard worker. he sits up often till
two o'clock in the morning talking mat
ters of State policy with leading mem
bers of his government. The conference
ends with a request on the viceroy's part
for q dispatch that same day, and this
means that the official has to SET up per.
haps a couple of hours in order to write
the document. Lord Lytton has excel.
lent powers Of conversation, and tells a
story beautifully, and no one ever heard
him tell the same story twice. He has
been a diplomat in many capitals-was,
in fact, q veritable Ulysses by the tirAe
he was forty. One gift he lacks, that OF
making himself agreeable to every one.
At q reception he will sometimes devote
the whole evening to one Or two persons,
and allow the rest to go ~unnoticed. Lady
Lytton goes far to atone for his de-
fciencies in this respect. The niece of
the late earl Of Clarendon, and wife OF
the Indian viceroy, is a charmingly
agreeable woman.

NASHVILLE, December 26.-Mr. Peters

The opinion grows hourly that no set
Element will be effected. The high tax

tax men refuse to yield this point and are
firm.

IT is currently rumored on the streets
hat some of Mayor Flirpin's leading
supporters have been in negotiation with
a corresponding number of Republican
leaders to secure the colored vote in q
body, and a part Of the proposed bargain
is that the Republicans are to have q
share of the municipal Offices in Jan
uary, and one or more Offices to be filed
at the August election. We do not be-
lieve that Judge Flippin would enter into
such a transaction; nor do we believe
that Ed Shaw or any Of his set can de-
liver the colorsd vote for a price. The
colored vote has frequently been divided,
and in view of the illustrious example
now witnessed in the Democratic ranks
it is most likely that it will remain so.
1t is easier to sell them out in a back
room than to drive them up to tie
polls to vote. Shaw has become
very abusive lately. His true ma
ture will crop out in spite Of him.
self and those who would use him.
The Democrats who most actively work
and talk for Flippin claim to be the
purest and soundest of all Democrats.
They have gone out Of the party, tempo
rarily at least, to purify the party and
get rid of company they have been keep
ing ever since the war. This is all very
nice, and they are a nice, well.meaning
set Of gentlemen, but this line OF argu-
ment is rather a singular one to make to
colored Republicans. We all know they
are Democrats, and sore of them are
good workers, especially when they get
in the notion, but this publication pro-
cess cannot be accomplished without the
aid Of the colored voter, and it is not I'M
reasonable to suppose that be should
stop to inquire what sort OF company he
is getting into, aud whether he wants to
become a sort Of brevet Bourbon Demo-
crat. But every man has a right TO vote
IS he pleases in this country. We exer-
else that right and advocate it, aud shall
always accord it to others.

GENERAL sHERIDAN's testimony before
the military committee is to the effect
that the raids by Indians and Mexicans
on the Texas border have been growing
less during the past year, and that only
a few American cattle have been stolen.
He has favored the pursuit of marauders
across the border, but thinks there should
be an International effort to have these
d%epredations stopped, and that there
should be additional military posts on
the Rio Grande.
