MOROCCO antits s ltan. Tho A Trie in Countf Which European liation3 W to Annex. From the Sews. Moulai Hasson iso fourteenth .Sultan of his dynasty, who ijh the throne some 350 yeai’is and who ori'ially came from Taiilet: Dis position os SCn is not an enviable one, as someportp of his kiugdom is al w ivs in rvo - *;Tugh, perhaps, it is owing to this that his t'lme is as safe as it is, as it detracts general&ttoation from himself and gives his greets something to think about. ■ L ■ The tale of tlriu.tans is a bloody one— one long chap? of murder and sudden death, battles ajl poisoning, that, had the secrets ever leajd out, -would fill volumes. What rouiatKj. wliat plots, liave been hatched and Accomplished within the painted walis fhe palaces! What love and wliat hate 1 Afospot is always all-power ful; but the Slim of Moroeco is a despot of despots. A (rjernor, disturbed by rough soldiers at his heals or his sleep, may bo dragged, load with chains, to the capital, and made to ]f his uttermost farthing, or die under tori'**. And as the Governors are squeezed 1 their rulers, so do the Gov ernors sqiujo; ttie lower officials and the lower officii the people. A govern ment and yeio government, tho whole of ficial life ispass of bribery and corrup tion. The SultaJlves a very simple life. He rises early, fore sunrise, and praves regu larly seven hes a day. His food is simple— there is verf'ttle variety at any times in Moorish coeng, and each dish is tasted by an official titer—a post of great honor at court —as j guarantee against poison. Though-no.tnd then his Ministers eat in the same rit with him, they never taste the same dw His majesty, like all Moors, scorns knivjand forks, and eats from tho dish directMth his fingers. Though this soems to owvillized senses, a disgusting modus opendi , it is really nothing of the sort, for to [great a dexterity has prac tice broughhem that they scarcely make their fingerfeticky, and the practice of washing befe and after meals, does away with after (jets, that, should it be one's duty to sba hands with one of them, would othejise prove unpleasant. In re ligion the Stan is very strict: in fact, the religion offlorocco is far stricter than that of a, Mohammedan country —ex- cepting, ptkps a few of the sacred cities of Arabia.ror example, no Christian can enter a mole in any part of the country of Moroci not even in civilized Tan gier. Theitnadan, or fast of thirty days, is strictly lit by the Sultan, even when on the mat, when the Prophet states it is allowably break it. His majesty sel dom appeajn public, takiug his exercise in the enotpus gardens of the Agidai and his other pces. When on the march no tent is alloii to be pitched before lie is safely ensjsed in his. As the Sultan was prepay for his journey from Mo roccoto F.when we were at the capital, we had anportunity of seeing liis tents. That for li personal use is an enormous marquee, Iwned by brass balls, while around stafour or five smaller tents for the womeitio accompany him, the whole being sumded by a wall of canvas ten feet ill heig He is said to be a good busi ness man,id to know far more of his affairs of fie than any of his Ministers—in fact, niuol the official work of the coun try passes"ough his hands. Though we can gatheretty much wliat kind of a life he leads, i only very seldom that we can hear anytlg of the life led by his wives, except tba nius! be a tragic one—for the favorite, fthe time being, lolls on cush ions of vel and gold in dimly-lit rooms full of theors of incense and (lowers, and attended Haves, any one of whom, should shefindfa'in the sight of her lord and master, wfi, usurp the place of the Sul tana, whcould sink to the degradation of slaveryidno doubt this is often the case. The arms divided into two principal parts, contending to our regulars and militia, i first, the Askari, are infant ry; and tli are by far the smartest in tho service, a4 drilling of these troops falls to Kaid Mpan, an Englishmen, or rather a Scotchui who left the British army for the servici' the Sultan, anl who fills the post of Inictor General of the Forces. Nothing < (i exceed the pains and trouble that Kaidfclean has taken with his men, who, when arrived, were little more than a band ojnruly robbers, but now go through l|' drill with a smartness that would do <Jit to a European army. Kiid Maclean hiad many things against him at court. Hie lias overcome both jealousy and fanatiii, and is not only beloved by his soldierait honored by the Emperor with his ficoniidenee. Living at Mo rocco or Fiaecording to the movements of the Suit; Kaid Maclean lias entirely given hints up tohistask with untiring zeal, and ifowing to him, and to him alone, thatiroeeo can boast an army that in case of * would be able to fight at all, for not oniks he instructed them in their drill, but liiersuaded the Sultan to arm a great, proptfin of his troops with Martini llenry rinetd also changed their uniform from the piresque but cumbersome hnik and jelab txfcort of zouave dross of scarlet and blue. { the last two years Kaid .Ma clean has hhelped in his arduous task by his brot her Jpt. Alan Maclean, whose par ticular duty present is the transport de partment, njn small body of regular cav alry, which jto his arrival w'as in a shock ing conditio. The seeonjivision of the army Kaid Maclean is lieponsible for—the Mah&sni, or cavalry; I in seeing the two divisions of the armyrether, one cannot but appre ciate the inihse work that he has done for the iiifantrjrtr the oavajry, armed with Winchester gating rides—irregulars, with a vengeancel'li in aitout as wild a state of barbarity asiild well tie imagined. They correspond, 1 mentioned alxive, to our militia, anode them, are only called out Upon necessit Another part of ttie army -that mighttno-t be said to form a divis ion—are thetkhari. or lilack bodyguard of the Suit,it As to the numbers of these forces, there somewhat uncertain, for though pro My at a time of peace t.liev number thii/or forty thousand, vel, in case of a war ofly magnitude, there is little doubt thalpme hundred thousand men could be pii the field. That, the soldiers can fight W nobody doubts, for in the Spanish w*)f 1859, they worked with such desporatiofiat for gome months the actual result of fe war was doubtful, though finally,disianized as they were attha time, time,and <y armed with flint-locks of their own mamlcture, they had to give wav to superior fee and power.

A Collection of Confederate Shin plastera “Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too.” From the Rome ( Ga .) Tribune. A Tribune reporter was passing the store of P. 1,. Tumley yesterday, and being asked by that gentleman if he wanted an item was assured that reporters are always searching for such things. The Tribune man was invited to enter, and immediately began to wonder what the news was to be. When the doctor invited him into the back office and began unlocking his safe the reporter drew out a pencil, making ready to describe a daring burglary. Tlie man of medicine, however, reached into the sate, and rummaging around finally drew forth a carefully wrapped package. Handing it to the reporter, he remarked, "Here it is, open it.” It was a bundle of shinplasters, issued at different places during the war, and used as a legal tender. Dr. Turnley had a very much larger package of tho same sort of currency that lie sent years ago to a rela tive, an Alderman in London. The English man regarded the little bills as great curi osities. The denomination of the bills given to the reporter for inspection varied from sc. to $5, mostly the face values were 50c. and 25c. The total amount will probably not exceed $2,500. The currency was issued by railroads, banks, insurance companies, business houses, State treasuries, etc. The railroads were the Memphis and Charleston; Wills Valley railroad, now known as the Alabama Groat Southern; East Tennessee and Georgia, without the Virginia; and the Mississippi Valley rail road. All the bills were issued in the year 1862. The St ates represented were Virginia, North Carolina, Tenne-see, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Missouri. The treasury notes of Missouri, once good for the amount of SB, were the prettiest. They were green in color, and were issued in 1862. A lot of notes issued by the Round Moun tain Iron Company formed an interesting group. The total amount was S2O. They were signed by Samuel P. L. Marshall, and bore the date Aug. 1, 1862. Another small package bore the signature of Noble Bros. & Cos. They were fractional parts of a dollar. Feb. 1,1862, was the date they were issued. Jere Lawrence, who the older inhabi tants of this section will remember, was represented by several shinplasters signed in his store in Cedar Bluff, Ala. "Here is something I prize very highly,” said Dr. Turnley, interrupting the reporter, w'hen he had about finished looking through the package of n. g. money. "It is a medal struck during the political excitement of IS4O, when Harrison and Tvler were the Whig candidates,” continued he. Examination showed the face and bust of a soldier stamped on the front. On the re verse was an eagle with a ribbon in its mouth which bore the inscription, “Go it, Tip; Come it. Tyler.” Dr. Turnley was then a boy 10 years old, living in Cedar Bluff, Ala. There were about six Whigs in the town, who had illu minated it in honor of their favorites. Borne of the Democrats put out the lights, and there was a riot. During its progress Dr. Turnley received a wound from a stray bullet. He says he has been offed ass gold piece for the medal, and refused it. The reporter was presented with several bills. Among them a five cent note on tho Bank of the Empire State, dated Rome, Ga , Feb. 1, 1862. It w - as signed by Wade S. Cothran, Cashier. The collection is of historical interest and carries the observer back to days that not only tried men’s souls, but which tell of blood and tears, and death and suffering. A Marvelous Record. Mr. Allen Thorndylte Rice has an interest ing artjde in.: he October number of the North American Review on the compara tive increase of Great Britain and the Uni teb States within the past half century. A few of the facts that he gives will not be un interesting. In fifty years the population of the United Kingdom has increased at the rate of 42 per cent. —from 26,000,000 in 1837, to 37,000,000 in 1887. Duri.ig fifty years the population of the United States nearly quadrupled—a ten times greater increase. All of our cities have distanced English cities in the percentage of their inereaso in population. In fifty years the l!nited King dom has lost over 0,000,000 by emigration, and nearly all of these have come to the United States, and they arc coming now at the rate of 700 a day. The percentage of adults who can write is 92 in the United Kin dom, against 80 in the U-ited States, lac United Kingdom has >9 177 school teachers; the United States h" (2.686. The United States has more new papers than all the rest of the world, and w pay far more for periodicals and books than the people of the United Kingdom. The United King dom lias £4,oßo,ooo,ooojjivested in railroads; the United States lias $8.339,2*5,342 —much more than double. In the v; lie of land and property the proportion is still greater to UUP CPtJviit. ilk; VuiUJ O. 11l ii• 1 liXc g.l.\;d in fifty years trebled in the United King dom; in this country the increase was fiv< - fold. The production of coal in the United Kingdom was five-fold; in this country eleven fold. The savings banks in the United Kingdom in 1886 had on deposit $490,000,000; the savings bank of the Uni ted States $994,000,000. These are only a few of the many com parisons in our favor, but they entitle the American eagle to a good honest scream, it is not wrong to take pride in such a mar velous record. Coming Home to Die. At a period of life when budding woman hood requires all her strength to meet the demands nature makes upon it, many a young woman returns home from the se vere mental strain of school with a broken down constitution, and ber functions disar ranged, to go to an early grave. If she had Ix 4-11 wisely counseled and given the benefit of Dr. Pierce's "Favorite Prescription” her bodily development might have kept pace with her mental growth, and health ami beauty would not have given way to de cline and death.
