The press of Georgia and tho people of

any controversy on the subject of newspaper
Great uncertainly and mystery exists as to
the cause of this disease. On this point
very high authority asserts that “the air has
been tortured in vain to reveal the secret; no
sidereal, telluric, magnetic, electric, or appro
ciable atmospheric changes have been satis
factorily connected with Jits endemic or epi
demic appearance; animslcnlar and fungus
growths have been equally unable to account
for it. * * * * But there are certain
predisposing causes which doubtless favor
its propagation, inch as:personal and public
tmckanliness, errors in diet, drnnkeneaa,and
misery, fear, which always exists during fa
tal epidemics, in this instance amounting to
thoUrofobla, impresses many with the idea of
drugging, who thereby render themselves
mentally and physically .more liable to its at
tack.” [See Appleton’s cyclopedia, article
cholera-1
The same htgn authority u equally em
phatic on another interesting point in con
nection with this subject, and that is, ita
contagiousness. In reference to this mooted
question, the language used bin these woidr:
Unprofessional people are prone to believe
in contagion, and most persons perhaps think
that cholera is contagions; physicians even
once were divided in their opinions on this
point, bat probably at the present time (1859)
very few could be found who would main
tain ita contagiousness When great num
bers of p rsons are exposed to the same
epidemic influence, the idea of contagion is
the most nstnrsl one to account for the
occurrence of many cases in a limited
district; but the whole history of the
progress of cholera for the last forty
years shows conclusively that, though
endemic and epidemic, It is not
a contagious disease. Some courageous
physicians have gone so far as to inocnl&te
themselves with the blood, bile, and dis
charges of patients in every stage of the
disease, and without any ill consequences.
The history of cholera has afforded eome of
the nobleat instances of self-sacrifice and
heroic devotion to dnty on the part of physi
cians and clergymen; at times when fathers
descried their children, when dearest friends
dared not approach the house of detflh, the
physician and the clergyman restlessly dis
charged their duly carryiog physical and
spiritual relief to the suffering and the dying
when even the watchmen have fled the city,
the noble men of these professions have re
mained.”
The above extracts, though long, we deem
exceedingly appropriate for due consideration
at the present time. One or two more
remarks on the general subject
have to submit for the special attention of
the people of Atlanta aa well as those of the
entire interior portioojor.the Btate of Georgia.
We have bad no serious apprehensions of the
appearance of Asiatic cholera in this section
of country for the last ten or fifteen years.
This exemption from snch apprehension haa
arisen from a fact of oor own observation on
the progress and course of this dicseasc in all
its appearances in this country from 1832
1856, and that Is, that in none of these
appearances haa it ever visited, epidemically,
any section of country known as belonging,
geologic illy, to thc primitive or primary
formation. It has been confined in ita ranges
entirely to the secondary, tertiary, and aUavial
formations. In all thc past visitations
cholera wc hfCvc never heard of a case origin
ating in this State, or any other section
country bclonging.to primary formation.
How it may be in the future, of counc no
one can venture a positive opinion, for thc
real cause of this terrible disease is among
thc unsolved mysteries of natnre. Wc mean
only to express the reason which has induced
ns not to indulge in any serious apprehen
sions of ils visiting this section of country.
Still, wc wonld advise all proper precaution

The reappearance of this plague, with ita
mail fearful ravages, in Nashville and other
cities daring the present season, is at this
time exciting, perhaps, more general public
interest than any other subject. For this
reason we think It proper, or at least not in
appropriate, to submit to onr readers some ob
servations upon it, which, it they contain no
useful or pracllcil information, mw yet not
be altogether out of place.
“Asiatic choleba,” then, as we understand
from the very highest medical anlhoiitua, to
a totally different diteaee from “cnouna
Moruius” aa known in this coontry and in
Europe, and the presence e f the latter in any
place should not create any alarm as to the
former. Both are very dangerous diseases,
and though similar in many respects in their
symptoms, yet the vital organs which they
attack are totally distinct, and they arc in no
way conunected In origin or effect. The
former directs its forces against the digestive
organs, while the latter strikes chiefly at the
nervous system, with ita w< nderful combi
nations in the secretory functions.
The latter, only, to epidemic, and baa been
known iu Asia, from which it derives ils
name, for many centuries. It nevrr made
ita appearance ent of Aria until about 1830.
The great plague of this character bearing
the namr, Asiatic Cholera, which haa since
traveled over the world as “the srgel of
Death,” originated in the Delta of the Gan
ges, in 1317. It g adonlly and slowly made
ita progress westward, during several years,
spreading northward and southward. In
1831, it reached and extended over most of
Central Europe, and got as far as England
on its march in the month of October of
that year Io March, 1832, it broke out in
Faria and spread rapidly over France. On
the 8th of Jane, same year, (1832) it first ap
peared on this continent,at Quebec; on the
10th,at Montreal; cn the 21st, in New Yotk
City, and soon afterwards made ita ap
pearance in several other placea, in dif
ferent directions, aa at Boston, Phila

his fatal journey.
Mrs Ellen Hardin Walworth was the next

to Mansfield Tracy Walworth in St. Peter’s
Chnreh Saratoga Springs, in 1853, on July

Saratoga, and went to Kentucky, near Louis

all my children lived there with me; lived
in Kentucky three years without seeing
him; he did not remain in Saratoga; when I
went to Kentucky ho promised to meet me
there; where he went to I do not know; dur

Wc do not expect a sudden run down in
prices, for If Liverpool and New York should
drop suddenly the demand for good cotton
would cause a reaction, but wo expect the
market to let down gradually.
We have received thia week several very
complimentary letters from our correspond
ents and exchanges in Havre, France; Man
chester, London, and Liverpool, England
Pernambuco and Bakia in Brazil.
of which time my husband was with me,
Frank being then in Louisville; at the urgent
requestor Mansfield Tracy Walworth, I came
to New York to a house in Twenty-tlird
street, aU of my children being with me; on
the 26th of January, 1871, thc final separa
tion took place, since which time I have not
seen my hnsband; on the 8th of April, 1871,
a decree of separation was pronounced, and
July following the decree waa modified to
allow Mr. Walworth to see bto children once
a month; afterwards 1 went to the old home
stead at Saratoga, and have remained there
ever since with mv children; Mr. Walworth
addressed me by letter very frequently after
onr separation; af ter I leit him my ycongest
child waa born, and, being delicate from its
birth, died in January, 1872 f Mr. Walworth
never came near the house, and never saw
bto youngest child; I did not always receive
his letters; for the first two or three months
1 did, but after that it was only occasionally
that I received them; some of his letters
never reached me; there waa no male person
in my house who could protect me, t
cept my son; Clarence Walworth spoke
me, on the Thursday before the occur
rence, about taking Frank with him
to Europe; I told Frank of it
that evening; he seemed gratified, bnt said he
should think about it; be gave a qualified as
sent to the proposal; on Friday he went fish
ing with his younger brother to Saratoga
Lake, returned about 6 o’clock in the even
ing and retired early: on Saturday be was
arranging bto clothes, books and other things,
and went swinging in the grove; on Sunday
he slept untillate; some young friends of his
called in the afternoon, and they went to walk
in the woods; he wrote a letter on that day .and

For two weeks we have written that tbe
rainy season was about at an end. For two
or three weeks more turners may prepare for
dry, hot weather. There may be local rains,
and possibly thunder storms, bnt not enough
water will fall to prevent farmers from com
plaining of drougth. For two weeks past tbe
rain fall at this point bos been 8-8 of an inch
We have a rain guag e now, and shall kee
our readers posted as to tbe amount of rain
falling each week and month.
Yesterday, the 4th of July, was not as hot
a day aa several we shall have during tbe
summer; bnt ts a matter of record and to
show onr European friends what hot weather
to required for cotton to grow well, we kept
a thermometer in the snn all day and re
corded the beat every hour for fifteen hours,
beginning at 5 A. u. and closing at 7 p. H
The record is as follows: 76, 84, 88, 104,
106, 118. 123,129.129,130,125,118,112,100,

killeami any further reported d-mage
from that cause will grncnlly be from some
personal motive. Yisterday wc beard a
country man complaining of the crops, said
the grass bad rained il and the crops wonld
not be mnch orer half an average. We
asked a friend, who knew him, wbat was tbe
matter with biro. His answer was, “he ia
looking at tbe crop through fitly bales of
cotton he to very anxious to sell.” The
stocks at thc smaller interior depots arc
much larger than last year, and the owners
hare held them very firmly until first of Ibis
raont'i, but they are now getting neivous and
anxious to sell.
If wc could have a rain fall of one-half
an inch every week through this month, it
wonld tc much better for the crop; butts
one rxltrroc often follows another, wc may
not have so much
The general and most reliable reports from
ail parts • f the country are, cotton is abon
ten days isle; otherwise splendid, never bet
ter, and hands doing all the work they arc
capable of doing. If the crop does not turn
rat four and a half millions of bales, the
damage will have to come after this.
Tbe market in New York, only four days,
has been quiet; tales three tbocrand bales of
spot, and thirty-five thousand bales of con
tracts. Tbe contract market has been ex
tremely dull, each party wailing for some
thing to turn it up or down; and we think
it likely the spot and contract market will
go up or down a cent a pound this week.
Thc market in Liverpool has been quiet
and lower; baring fallen 1-8 of a penny
during Ihe week. We hardly expected ttto
decline at this time, and do not see any good
reason few Liverpool failing beiow 81-3
pence for several months; but that tbe price
will be 7 pence there next winter, we think
almost certain. Most person* do not think
that of all tbe many accidental circumstances
that often come when are least expect them;
such as war, pestilence, famine, fall arc of the
bread crop in Europe, high price of money,
and so on to the cod of the catalogue, >1! are
against the rise in cotton; and there to but
one thing that win put the price up materi
ally; that to failure of the the supply.
The mills of the world will require a sup
ply at present prices of about seven millions
of bales. Will there be a supply of one
million less or the same amouat more for
next year? Upon a correct answer to this

The affair passed off pleasantly, and resulted
in seeming a goodly little sum. When the
party waa returning to Columbus a horse ran
away with, buggy, in which waa seated tbe
Kcv. Mr. Figb, a Baptist missionary, and
spilled the reverend gentleman in the road.
1 be horse then smashed thc buggy against
thc hindmost car of tho picnic train,
and went his way with a limited quan

Fortunately no one was hurt.
The celebration of thc Fourth in Columbus
was Tcty feeble. Thc banks and public offi

a few colored fantaaiics paraded tbe streets,
and were followed by the usual accompani

patriotic citizen devoted bimseir to keeping
cool, to this end shady places, ice houses,

that this may abate the nuisance. Thc

The principal event of the Fourth in Sa-

Hope. The steamer Bose carried out a large
number to witness thc races, as also did the
Seabord and Skidaway road. Tbe attendance
was immense, and the day passed most de
lightfully with dancing, talking, eating and
drinking. There waa a fine breeze blowing,
making tbe boat race a success. The first
prize was taken by the yacht “ Emma,” sailed
by T. N. McNtob, and the second prize was

WHITFIELD LANDS.
The county ot Whitfield, of which this is
the “county seat," has generally been con
sidered a poor county for agriculture, and we
are agreeably surprised to find on investiga
tion, that she contains within her borders
a large quantity of excellent lands. Tbe
valley land* lying east and northeast, on
Connasauga river and its tributaries are rich,
and will produce everything from cotton up
to clover and tbe kindred grasses, and within
one and a half miles from Dalton, we bare
seen a most luxuriant crop of clover and
herds grass growing on the farm of CoL
Jeaae H. Glenn; while everything upon the
hillsides and io charming'little nooks be
tween tbe bills, in valleys and on branch and
creek bottoms, may be seen rich, lustrous
FIELDS OF WAVING CORN,
a sight that now gladdens the heart with its
promise of a bountiful harvest.
The mineral interests of thia section are
bv no means insignificant. The Chaltoogata
Ridge extending in nearly a north and south
line through the county, contains large de
posits of a very superior quality of iron ore.

Prepare yourself for thc inevitable. I am
going to tall upon my children; my heart

terview as easy and pleasant as possible. I
cannot slay from them much longer. I will
see them—peaceably if lean, or with a trage

they arc mine. Popish cruelly must bend to
tbedemandof a father's breast, nr thc Wal
worth name goes out iu blood. Keep Frark
Walworth out of my way. You have taught
him to bate me, and his presence or obstruc
tion in any way will only excite fatal exas
peration. I want to see ray little girl and
come away peaceably. Beware that you
do not ra any way arouse the frenzy
wbich you have known to exist since
you left me. There to a reasonable
way to deal with mo. I shall have my
rights under that decree, with no further
legal delay or expense. I have conceded
promptly every right to ycu under that de
cree, and now I am going to see my children,
and you shall not bring them up to hate their
loving father. Eliza Backus haa written to
me that yon will do it if you can, from your
associations witb them,and then I shill shoot
you and myself on those doorsteps, for I
have nothing further 'o live for. I am a
broken-hearted desperado. I admit it. Save
this letter for lawyers and courts if you please.

have no personal fear, no more than I have;
but we both most die when that discovery
comes that you have estranged my young
children from me. It is possible you have
not done so, and you shall have your life. If
my little girls do not love me, then life is
valueless, and I shall die with a feeling of
luxury and rest to come; but you will have
to attend me to the apirit I rod. The God of
justice demands it. Therefore, I say to you,

well; bnt now my heart is agonized for my

the END.
Judge Davis charged the jury that if they
were satisfied young Walworth came to New
York with the intent to murder bia father,
then the crime waa murder in the first de
gree; bnt if the crime was committed in a
sudden manner,in an instant, then it would
be murder in the second degree. The law
did not make it justification when tbe killing
was done through fear that the life of
another waa in danger.
They could, however, consider whether the
fear that his mother's life was in danger, did
not give poiut to the fear wbich he enter
tained fer bto own life in the meeting on the
mornmg of the third. Judge Davis’ charge
occupied a little over three hours in delivery,
and bore strongly against the prisoner.
Tho jnry retired at half past fonr in
thtj afternoon, and returned to court at
8:25 P. 1L Tne roll was ca'led, and the
jury was asked if they had agreed on a
verdict, to which inquiry the foreman
responded, “We have. We find
tbe prisoner gnilty of murder in thc second
degree.” The silence which waa preserved
from the entrance of the jury remained un
broken for several minutes after the verd ct.
Neither Ihe prisoner nor his friends uttered a
word. Mr. O’Conor then whispered a word
to judge Davis, wbo.mnounced that he would

A Woman for Whom Four Hen |
Have Hanged Them
selves.
From Vanilj Fair ]
Addins Fatti is, of all the women on this
pitting globe, the one who has excited most
amorous declarations, and three despairing
Frenchmen and a Yankee have hanged them
selves on account of her. In tbe space of
12 years the love letters she has received
may be computed by thc ton, but it
may pain ode-writers and tbe like to learn
that their effusions never reached thc Diva’s
eyes, but are earned. Fora longtime tbe
prudent Strakoscb, Ad lina Patti's pianist
brother-in-law, used to Eee to this bittiness,
and it was a study to watch how the Sirs-
koech would mount guard orer his pearl of
E rice, as if he were iu constant apprehension
at she should be ena'cbcd from him. It
was he who signed her engagements, accom
panied ber to the opera, and saw her home
after the pelformance; and if you offered
H’Ue Pattis bouquet, thi* devoted and
objectionable brother-in-law would dart
forward under pretext of relieving her of the
load, and cautiously feel with his knowing
fingers to detect any billet donx that might
lurk among the flowers. He was perpetually
hovering around his sister-in-law. and, in
troth, if Adelina Patti has been tbe most
adored of women, Maurice Strakosh is
the msn, who, in the mind’s eye of ex
asperated suitors, has been most fre
quently kicked down stairs. There was
an English Earl, who, but for M. Stra-
kosb, would have laid at the Diva’s
feet one of the richest coronets in this realm,
but he could never stand M. Strakosb, and
there was a rather hot scene between them
one night, when the custos Divas assured bis
lordsbtp that bit attentions were unwelcome
“I’ll learn that from her own lips, and thank
you to keep your distance,” shouted bto lord
ship, in flaming wrath, snd the sul-jcct of the
contention coining off thc stage at that mo
ment in thc character of Zcrlins, had to in
terpose between tbe two, as she might bave
done between Don Giovanni and Don
Ottavio. On another occasion, soon
after Zcrlina had reached her majority, one
of onr countrymen—young, red-haired and
furious at having written half a gross of let
ters for M. Slrakosh’s sole behoof—sum
moned thc Diva to the Vice-Chancellor’s
Court, where she was asked to swear that no
illegal restraint was being pat upon ber ac
tions, and that she was really the mistress of
her own earnings. She readily gave the oath,
and it was a true one, for M. Strakosch cer
tainly meant well, though it to positive that
if he had been allowed to have his own way,
Adeline Patti wonld never have found a
hnsband at alt When Monsieur Louto-
Scbaatien Henri Roger de Cabszsc, Marquis
of Caux, Equerry of the Emperor, and
leader-general of cotillions at the Cocrt
balls, presented himself so many impedi
menta were thrown athwart the marriage,
that the Marquis at last told M. Strakosch
very significantly that if things were not
suffered to work more smoothly, he should
treat it as a personal affront, and hold
his interlocutor responsible. M. do

AN EASTERN ROMANCE IN
REAL LIFE.
Trathrul Tale «-r Faithful
Friendship.
Hr. J. M. Francis, our Minister at Athens
Greece, writes to the Troy Times af follows-
A few years since there lived in Bebek, a
village on the Bosphorus some six rnilei above
Constantinople, an elderly Greek gentleman
named Tchelby Yorgtky. A warm-hearted,
genial old gentleman was Mr. Yotgaky. He
was thc possessor of a- me property in real
estate, and a sufficient income was derived
from this source to supply the moderate
wants of himself snd hto amiable wife, leav
ing a balance, more or lea, which was dis
tributed for charitable objects. They bad no
children. Tha venerable couple were very
happy in each other’s society; they had
few intimate associates outside. But among
these was a friend of ours, an eminent Ameri
can citizen, who for some time resided near
tlieir dwelliDcr in Bebek
One day onr friend was invited to spend a
social evening with Mr. Yorgaky, the latter
saying that if agreeable he would on this oc
casion relate some facts of hto family histoiy
which might possibly prove interesting aa
constituting a chapter of real life at tbe East
Oor friend promptly accented thc invitation,
aa any live Yankee would bave done under
this stimulus to enriosi’y. Tbe old gentle
man’s statement—and our friend vouchsafed
for Yorgaky'a character for truthfulness af
ter an tnlimatc acquaintance with him for
many years—was substantially as follows:
My father’s name was Yohannis Giron.
His father carried on tbe bakery business.
At quite an early age Yohannis was employed
as bread seller at bto father's stall near the
Egyptian bazur at Stambouh There he
made the acquaintance of a Turkish boy or
about bis own age named Ibrahim, who was
employed as salesman in his father's tobacco
shop dose by. A remarkable friendship
grew up between these two boys. All their
etonre time they spent in each other's socie
ty. They indulged in sports together. They
talked over plana of business by which In
future years they might not be separated a
single day. They wonld achieve fortune,
ana share their wealth together. These were
the day dreams of Yohannis and Ibrahim.
Time wore on. The boys had attaint d the age
of 17 or 18 years. Ibrahim'a.fatbcr secured
for his son a situation as tchiboukgi
(pipe bcsrei) to thc Pasha ot Bagdad. This
was great honor fora boy in bumble circum
stances. Bnt Ibrahim did not desire tbe
dace, for it would takebim f»r, faraway
: rom Yohannis. Paternal deck ion, howev
er, was omnipotent in tbe case, snd go he
must. But before separating tlic boys had a
long conference together. “I must go,” raid
Ibrahim, “but I shall return to Constantino-
tlc as a Pasha, and then you will share my
lODon ud fortune” The separation of
Yohannis and Ibrahim waa painful. When
the final adieu was spoken, each pledged
the other that his friendship should remain
constant so long a* life codurrd. Yohannis
sorrowfully re'urutd to hto bus ocas at Ihe
bread-stall; Ibrahim accompanied liia master
on tbe long journey In England.
Years passed by; Yohannii -mcecdcd to
the humble business of bto fatbi r on tbe de
cease of thc latter; he married,- nd waa blessed,
as tbe pour are so often bleated, with maty
children. By steady industry and strict
economy he was barely enabled to rapport
hto large family comfortably His mind aub-
quentiy dwelt upon the sernrs and loves of
youthful days, ud tbe Tutkitk boy Ibrahim
was always a central figure in these memo-
tics. A dozen years prior to this time be
heard that hto dcar ftiend of boyhood's days
bad died, but the memory of Ural ftiend waa
revi icnriy cherished by liim; one so dearly
loved in thc fervor of youth could not be for
gotten by the gemroua-bearted Yohannis
even amid the cares ud struggles of a life of
toil.
One afternoon, while partaking of his f tugml
meal, and surrounded by hto loving family.
Yobarnto waa startled by the appearance of
a very unwelcome visitor—thc chief police
officer of thc Sublime Porlc. The official
announced to Yohinnto that be must accom
pany him immediately to the Porte. In
those barbaric days such a summons meant
condemnation and death, often without uy
assignable or known cause. Yohannis ud
bto family were terrified; they pleaded for
delay. But the officer was inexorable; Y’o-
hannto was draggtd away amid Ihe pl'eous
cries and pleadings ot bis wife and children.
Arrived at tbe Porte, the officer rcnducled
hto prisoner through a long ba’I with guards
Stallone 1 on either side, to tlic door of an
apartment, where at a given rignal the door
opened and Y’obsnnis wa* at once brought
face to face with the Grand Vizier.
“This is our sublime master. Hie grand viz
ier,” aid Ihe officer. Y’obnnnii immediately
prostrated himself before that august parson
age and commenced pleading very earnestly
for hit life. “Spare me, sublime master,
spare me,” he ijtculsled; “spare me for the
sake of my ianocrut ud dependent wife anil
children, if not on account of my innocence
of all wrong doing. Why should (be brought

or the axe? I have have been a good ud

I and devote himself to tbe other passcogerr,
for a German, penned up ins railway box,
must talk, you know.
Let me think. There was a well-to-do
couple from some prosperous inland village
who carried a well-arranged lunch bssket;
and there was a short, jovial Dulchmu,
Innkeeper or a ward politician, perhaps; and
there was a middic-aged eclaier in citizen’s
dress, who related hto adventures in thc late
war, for many a mile to unwearied auditors
with one exception; ud there was also a
young msn who wore spectacles ud tbe
small natty can of some educational itu'im-
tion. They talked, and lughed, and rushed
out for beer ud sandwiches, ud slumbered,
and awoke to more talk, all day long.
Towards evening wc came to a email
station, whose name I do not remember, ud
if I did you would not care to know it,—the
junction with the line for Leipsic. I left my
loquacious companions without casting a
lingering look behind, and took a seat tat the
Leipsic train. A pleasant looking young
lady sat iu the next seat, and, presently, she
took out a book. What, do me eyes deceive
me? the—she reads an English book—c
of Wilkie Collins’ dceply-invohrid yarns. _
immediately made proposals for a conversa
tion. She met me in all kindness; ud if you
want to know how thc country looks thence
to Leipsic, you will have to send another
msn—1 have forgotten. Tbe young lady
proved to be a native of Germuy, employed
as a governess in u English family near
London, ud was going home to spend the
vacation. Her destination was Dresden,ud
mine, alas, was Leipsic where I wished her
God-speed, ud shouldered my solitary bag
for a solitary walk to my solitary room In
A. OEB1ISN HOTEL.
Let’s talk a minute about those hotels. The
front is very unpretending, often really
mein. Bight through thc centre of it is a
paved way, for man or beast, which leads to
thc true front of the hostelry. Al- ngsideof
this passage is the porter’s loom, to whom
wc first apply. He calls boots who shows
ra to a room. The “gentlemanly” hotel
clerk—he who wears unparalled diamonds,
ud who looks clean over your head into
variety, when he condescends to look at all
—ia unknown over seas, ud yet they seem to
get along. In the room, no matter how
stylish the bottae may be, the economical
landlord has failed to pnt either soap or a
carpet; but we have feather-beds to sleep on
and under. The top one, however, to a light,
downy thing that one can kick into thc mid
dle of thc room without difficulty. The
great man of the house clearly, to thc head
waiter; he wears the good clothes of the es
tablishment, always appeario&in full dress—
white necktie ud swallow tail—ud he
brings ham ud eggs or your bill with equal
pleasure. No other person is authorized
receive money for the proprietor. When •
first beheld him, in all his magnificence—fot
all European hotels are essentially alike—I
dare not offer him a fee, but I aoon learned
that he cannot be insulted in that way. Thc
waiter, thc chambermaid, boots and the porter,
each expect n lee, ud if you are coming
that way again, you had betfer shell out

“You cannot g» back to your business,”
said tbe grand vix< r, calmly.
“Then, air,” rap tided Yobsnois in a muni
resolute tone, “the blood of an innocent man
ud bia family you -ire about to murder be on
your garments; tbe avenging power of Al-
migyty justice pursue you, sir, to the cud;
your crime shall not go unpunished.”
“Yohannis,” replied the grand vizier,“arise

“Yea, sire, sublime mater.”
“When a boy, you served a* Iwesd teller
for your father close by thc Egyptian ba
zaar?”
“Yea, a’re, and I now kccptbalsimestall.”
“You bad a friend named Ibrahim, who
attended his father’s tobacco shop very near
you?”
“Oh,yes, tire; oh, yea,” answered Yidisn-
nis. nearly overcome with (motion.
“And yon ud Ibrahim, on parting, pledged
each other to friendship for life; Ibrahim
saying that he should return some day with
the honors and wealth of a Psaba. ud be
would share with you thc benefits of bit po

“Most tiuly you have apukra, sublime
muter; but thia was long ago, and poorlbra-
him—I shall soon meet him in a better world
than this—has l-crn dead these many, many
years.”
“Ibrahim is not dead,” raid the grand vi
zier; “he lives and i< in good health; he re
members Yobannis Ginn; be nerrr forgot
the pledge made to him at tbe lime they
parted; ud now be has the ability and de
termination Io make good that pledge. Yo-
hunia Giros,” exclaimed bia excelkncy,
rising from bis seat aed extending hto arms.
“Yobannis Giros, behold in me your friend
In boyhood, Ibrahim, the tobacco seller."
Tbe two embraced ud kissed each other;
tears flowed freely. Yobunls was almost
crazed by tbe mental reaction. He sobbed ud
cried like a child. The great heart of tbe
grand vizier was filled with glad ocas As
soon as tbe emotion awakened by tbi* excit
ing scene could be controlled Ibrahim aid to
Yobunls:
“Now you are appointed to a responsible
post; you will be my saroff (banket). Yon
will al once recetre your outfitofdresa. When
properly attired you will eo hence with the
attendants of my staff to your home and tell
the good news to jour wire and children.
Tbe horae ud equipage snitaob'e to your
rank are ready for you. You will at once
be provided with i II the means required to
place your family iu a position becoming lire
dignity of your situation. Attend Io llitae
duties to your family first of all; close up
your little burincM, and then report to me
for duty. Yobannis ud Ibrahim are reuni
ted; the pledgeof boyhood is fulfilled Great
is tbe Lord God, and Mahomet to hb prophet.
Yohannis was then arrayed iu thc glitter
ing uniform ot his rank; a beautiful Arabian
charger, hudaomely caparisoned, was for-
Dished him, ud. with personal servants and
n guard of honor he rode rapidly to bb bum
ble dwelling alStamboul, liavingbccnabsent
little more than two hours. The family
could scarcely credit their own nans when
Yohunia ro-appeared so wonderfully
changed externally, ud with hto retinue <-f
attendants. They were overcome with joy.
Hie scene cube belter imagined than de
scribed. From that day forth they enjoyed
happiness ud prosperity.
Ibrahim’s course hid been this: From
the bumble position of tebibo ki (or pipe-
beam) to thc Praha of Bagdad, bo wsi suc
eeraiveiy promoted to be clerk, secretary,
ud Kcyha Bey; then ra Pasha, subsequent
ly as Paths of Bagdad, succeeding his fir
mer master; then u Praha of Aleppo, and
finally, in recognition of hi*great ability ami
successful administration of affaire, be was
sppmntedby.theSnltan as Grand Vizier of
the Turkish Empire.
“ And this,” said thc old gentleman to my
friend at Bebek, “is the true story about
my father, which I promised to tell you, and
which, I think, presents u example of so-
bhmo fidelity in friendship. At 1 Mess the
memory of my noble father, so also do I
bless the memory of hb benefactor and
fnend, the true-hearted Turk Ibrahim, once
the boy tubacco seller at Stamboul."
I bare given this narrative as rclatid to
me, without embellishments. The property
owned by Tehelby Yorgaky at IWiek was
inherited by him from his father, ud the
latter became its possessor from that pledge
in boyhood exchanged between Yobannis
