For many yexrs NnssnrRs Pasha, Sciese

Turk officially. He is an elegant geafle-
nan, refined In manners a. in sentiment,

figure in any court!y sphere. When Ca
rathcodori Was chosen, Fuad and his
friends suggested Mehemet Ali PAsha as
his associate. He was then commander
of the army before Constantiuople. Nom
nally Turk, he is by birth Prussisn
and q Christian, speaking German and
French as if to the manor born. The
commission thus being made up, Fuad
Pasha was appointed in the place of Me-
hemet Ali. Since he took command he
has been exercising. the troops as indie
fatigably as if they were on the eve Of
battle, digging trenches, throwing up
breastworks, etc. Observing that the
Russians had erected some towers for the
observation of the surrounding country,
he sent q message to Gen. Todleben, the
purport of which was that if they we're
not removed within a given time, the
Turkish lines would fire upon the Rus
sian position. The insolence of such q
threat was intolerable. Gen. Todlebcn
parleyed, disavowed the purposes i'm
puted to him, and communicated with the
Russian Ambassador. The result is that
the toplofty pasha is universally recog-
nized to have made fool of himself, and
has been superseded by Baker Pasha, Of
English railway notoriety. It is we'll to
have set aside Fuad, but l question much
the policy of the appointment of an
Englishman As his successor. The Turks
are jealous of foreigners. Hobart Pasha,
who has been forced on them by English
influence, never was popular in the ser
vice or acceptable to the Turkish author
tiles. His English arrogance and super
ciliousness made him offensive, to say
nothing of his unconcealed contempt for
Turkish officers and soldiers. Baker,
colonel when he came here, after his dis
grace and imprisonment in England, to
gain new laurels wherewith to cover up
his shame, and now Pasha, fought brave

could not have slain Christians with more
zest than he did. And yet the Turks did
not like him because he 10 not of their

affairs. Slade set himself to work on
both the navy and the language, and in
reasonable time he mastered both. He
smoked like Turk, loved women like a
Turk, and finally learned to swear by the
beard Of the prophet as bravely as der
wish. He was famous for his wit. This
is quality the Turks do not possess, but
they like it in Others, provided it is not
exercised at their expense. The Turk ID

posed to be malicious, sly and pungent,
but never witty. He cultivates gravity,
and avoids levity as the height of indis-
erection; yet he will laugh when pro-
voked to it. Slade got thoroughly into
the graces of the Turks, so that finally
they voted him capital fellow, gave him
all he asked, made him an admiral, and,
in his old age, pensioned him off on hall
pay. When last met him he was at the
