In the same debate Allen q. Thurman said
speaking OF the land proposed to be given rail-
roads: 1T Is part OF that property known as the
mall. II Is part OF that property which was set
apart and dedicated as park In the very origin OF
TINS city, IN the very plan OF the city; and now
wish 10 call the attention OF the senate TO fact
which Involves the good faith OF the nation. The
original prOprletors OF large portion OF the land
on which Washington Is situated did not demand
that they shoull have pay for all the land they
sold. ON the contrary they gave about one-half
their property 10 the United states without any
price at all, and then they provided further that
III respect 10 certain other lots they might be sold
United states, in other words that IL should be a
money Donation. They gave thus donation not
only OF land but OF money, ana that donation
amounts, as well as can gather from the acts
upon the subject, TO more than one-halr OF the
property they owned. That Is what they did.
Upon the faith OF what did they do ily Upon the
faith OF the Government that IL would maintain
the seat OF Government here according to the plan
OF the city, which had been approved by Gen
Washington They could not 90 II otherwise
They gave by lots the very lots marked on that
plan. and the consideration that they expected
was the advanced value OF the lots that they re-
talned, enhanced by whatf Enhanced by the ex-
istence OF city upon the plan that had been
adopted, and upon no other. By no other means
could the value OF the lots they retained be en-
HANGED. IL was, therefore, part OF the consider
alton upon which they granted their prop
erty TO the United States, and granted the
authorized to be sod and tie proceeds paid into
the Treasury that the plan OF the city should re-
main intact. otherwise the lots which they re-
tained would not be benerlted. The whole value
" them might be destroyed II the dedication
made by the plan OF the city could be violated,
and the pubic grounds could be taken away and
given 70 private individuals or 70 private cOmpa-

If beauty more pure and perfect.
This young Greek belonged to a family of
moderate means. All of the mothers of the
little city of Xanthus were jealous of the
mother of Isea. this lovely child. The young
Girls regarded her with q secret spite; the
men lost their hearts and repose; young and
old-all were enamored of her. The old
woman said; "Isea possesses q charm, that
is certain. Her beauty is unnatural"
The Pasha, or Governor. of the province
had a son who lived in Constantinople. Dur
ing one of his visits to his father at Xanthus,
he encountered Isea. 1t is hardly necessary
10 say that he loved her distractedly. In his
enthusiasm he cried, ''This young girl can
only be o houri escaped from the paradise of
our great prophet"
His mother, a good mother to him, was
disquieted by the singular state of her son;
she questioned him, and made HIM confess
his love for Isea.
Her son told her that the parents of Isea
we're not rich, and that O large fortune
would, without doubt. influence them. His
mother promised to make a trial the next
day. Consequently the wife of the Governor
was announced to the parents of Isea.
The lady made her demand, and offered a
large sum of money. She promised. in the
name of her son, that Isea should be the only
and we'll beloved wife of the young Mussuf-
man, and should be at liberty to follow her
own religion, The parents replied that their
daughter could not espouse o Mussulman,
and nothing could induce them to change
their opinion.
When the young man heard this his despair
80 affected his mother that she formed a ] plan
in her mind, and, bidding her son cheer up
and return to Stamboul, and before q month
had passed he would be in possession of the
beautiful Isea.
Fifteen days after a boat, carrying the
Austrian flag, touched at a city situated a few
leagues from that in which Isea lived. An

The commander of the ship had been
excited by the resistance which the young
woman seemed to make to her companions.
He passed and repassed near the place where
she was, and was convinced before long that
she was guarded by these people.
Something in the Captains face seemed to
show the yelled lady that In him she had a
friend, and q short time after, while the Cap
tain was on the lower deck talking to his
lieutenant, he saw the lady pass, leaning on

" Save me. my father l Am of Greek origin
and religion they have treacherously stolen

The Captain spoke to her In Turkish and
told her that the boat represented Austria,

lection of this nation, which should be given
to her that she had no more right over her
