Turkish Assault on Rhodes, July q, 1850.

To prevent the construction of supplement
tary deienses, q cannonade of twenty four
hours was hurled through the breach. At
sunrise on the 9th of July came the assault.
The defenders, lying on the inner slope of
the mound OF ruins, worn out with long
watching and continuous uproar were most.
ly sunk in that deep sleep of utter WEAKNESS
so well known to the soldier. Before they
fairly awoke and commenced their battle,
groups of Turks had scaled the ramparts on
either side of the gap, and were firing down
into it, while body of some five hundred
had succeeded in danking the line and en-
tering Jew Street.
The Grand Master, conCeiving that the
hour of martyrdom was at hand, unfurled
the great standard Of st. John and called
upon his knights to follow him to death.
Their first charge broke and slaughtered to
the last man the unbelievers who had pen
etrated the city. Next they rushed to the
captured ramparts; the stairs were choked
with rubbish, but they mounted on
ladders, the Turks meanwhile hurting
stones and pouring in missiles. Twice
wounded, twice pushed down the ascent
ID D'Abusson was the first to reach the sum-
nit, and the first 10 drive his halfpike into
an Osmanli. Several others fell under his
thrust, and meantime his companions were
by his side, swiftly regaining the walls.
Palaologus hurried forward a chosen body
of janizarie3 to the support of his escaladers.
Twelve of them, bound by solemn oath to
slay the Grand Master, fought their way up
to him, and pierced his armor in three pla-
ces. His followers, horror-stricken and
reused to frenzy, rushed on the assailants
with renewed fury, sweeping them down the
steps and out Of the breach. A general rout
followed, bearing away the pasha himself
and tumbling back the fugitves into the
Turkish intrenchments, while the swords Of
the Christians sprinkled the way with theil
blood.
1t was the final effort of the invaders, and
the final triumph of the defenders. On tn,
10Th of August, after furious siege of thre,
months, Pale withdrew his armament, car
rying away $4,000 wounded and leayin,
5000 dead. 1t grieves one to learn that tn,

A Queer Will.

A curious will, says the Boston Adpertiser,
has just been settled in Berlin, containing
a moral worth wider circulation than a
mser's last testimony often obtains, The
poor man died when to general surprise it
was found that he left $4,000 marks. The
10000 in package, signed and sealed, was
to be given to his native town in Bavaria
1000 each to three brothers, and | 900 to a
friend with whom he had quareled. 1t was
stipulated that none Of the four should fol-
low the body to the grave, which suggestion
the three brothers gladly accepted, but the
quarreler walked alone and forfeited his
thousand marks, for the sake of paying a last
mitigating honor. When the package was
opened for the town il disclosed another will
giving the 5000 to any of the four who
should disregard the stipulation.

Bismarck is said to be entangled in pecu-
mary embarrassments. He bought Varzin
and the adjoining estates after the war of
1866, and it was generally asserted that tie
purchase money far exceeded the real WORT,
of the land. In order to obtain an interest
corresponding to the funds invested. he di-
yided the estate into various small parts.
which he let out to farmers, and furthermore
plunged in speculative enterprises. He was
instrumental in starting joint stock COM
pany for the erection of large paper mill.
to which he exclusively furnished wood and
other necessary materials. This company
failed about year ago, inficting a serious
loss on Bismarck, who, besides holding
greater part of the shares, was one of the
largest creditors, owing to the non-payment
of his claims for some time previously. IS
his Lauenburg estates, presented TO him in
acknowledg ement of his great services after
the late war against France, despite their im-
mense value only yield a comparatively small
interest, his pecuniary embarrassments are
now quite enough to account for his increas-

THE List DODGF

On Tuesday when the amended Merrill
Appleton bill reached the Senate from the
House, Mr.. Donnelly was anxious to concur.
he was SO Jealous that he transgressed the
bounds of propriety by declaring that he
saw the lobby full of members of the book
ring and he desired to have the matter closed
before they Qhe book ring) had chance to
get at the Senators. This was the reverse of
complimentary to the friends of the bill, and
was really insulting.
Yesterday when the bill came up as the
special order Mr.. Donnelly changed front
entirely and asked postponement until to-
day. He intimated that the Merrill Apple-
ton crowd were contemplating abandoning
the contract and they wanted time to con-
slider. He seemed to desire to secure time
for ''the other book ring to do some mis-
sionary labor.
All day long the Donnellyites were at
tempting to create sympathy and bulldoze by
declaring that the contract would be aban-
doned, if the Teller amendment prevailed.
They talked about the damages the State
would have to pay, apparently imagining
that that would be bugbear to frighten the
timid. AS a matter of fact, Mr.. Merrill
stands as well to-day as ever. He entered
into contract under the law of last winter
and has no claim for further legislation. The
legislation now asked for is to secure money
from the State to execute the contract made
last year, and while the pending law gives
him the money he asks, he groans because
it also allows three fourths of the voters of a
county to decline to take his books. Such
cheek is unparalleled.
The game being played is simply to wipe
ont the amendment entirely, not giving
the people even the trifling voice
which IS proposed. 1t interferes with
the JOB to have the people who
are 10 furnish Merrill and Appleton 5000, 600
per annum have anything to say on the sub
Ject. Inc amendment ought to be changed
to allow majority vote to control, and if
onnelly is sincere in his lamentations
