Old Osborne said, ages since: "Th5
Scot, ike tue poor SWISS, finds more
connexions abiding uuueT eYery climate

We believe it is Sir Archibald Alison
who mentions how, when Marshal Keith
was combating tie Turkish forces undlr
the Grand Yizler, the two Generals came
TO a conference with each other, the Grand
ViZier came mounted on q camel in all
the pUmp of Eastern megnihcence; the
Scotch Marshal Keith, VINO originally
came from the neighoorhood OF Turif, in
AberdeenshiTe, approached on horseback.
After the conference the Turkish GRAND
Yzier said 10 Keith that no would like
in speak a few words in private TO him,
10 his tent, and begged tha tho one should
accompany him Marshal Keith accord.
iDgly went in, and the moment they con
ferred the Grand NlZer threw off his
lurban, tore off his besrd, and, running to
Marshal Keith, said, On, Johnnie, fools
Wye man 20 and he then discovt red
that the Grand Nzier OF Turkey was
school fellow OF his own VINO mad dissp-
peaIed ab ut thirty years before from
parish school near Me,hlle.
And we remember 10 have met with an
anecdpte OF ScCtcEmsu rom Perth, who
had penetrated into some far interior OF
Asia,-we forget where; he had 10 see the
pashA, or Bashaw. He was introduced 10
the Comely man in his tent They gather
ed up their knees aud sat down upon
their carpets. Thay drank their strong
coffee and smoked their hoOkahs together
in solemn silence; bu, few words, at any
rate, passed between them, but we may
trust sufficient tor the oCCas on; but when
the man Of Perth was sbOu, to leave, the
Pashs also arose, and following him out
side the tent said in strong Dlrlc Scotch:
e. kenned We vera well In Perth; We are
sac ana sac" The Perth man was aston
ishei, AS we'll he might be, until the
Pasha explained as lie said; " I'm just a
Perth man mvsel' |" He had travelled,
aud he had become Of importance 10 the
Government there. His story was not
very creGltable. In the expectation nt
the post he filled he had become Mo.
