During the night Mnhamod prepared
for his departure. Ho furnished himself
with a body-guard of fifty men, and engaged a few Tartar couriers. On tho
any following ho sont his treasurer to his
brother for 20,000 ducats, paid tho
trsuler far his outfit, crossed tho Bos-
phorus, and traveled straightway to
Damascus.
Sfuhnmed was no common impostor;.
who only hunted after monetary results ; but he haa calculated werypiiiig=]
beforehand. His liberality, his commanding person, and his noblo bearing,
in a country whero sudden promotion is
I-of daily occurrence, convinced every
one, and especially his followers, that ho
was appointed Pasha of Damascus. At
first ho traveled quietly to avoid publicity; but tlio further he went from
Stainboul, and the nearer he approached
the boundaries of his province, the more |
openly he showed himself in his new
dignity, the more liberally he distributed presents and alms in tho towns
through whicli ho passed. Everywhere
ho was received with due respect and
laden with presents. When he arrived
within three days' march of Damascus
he halted and encamped. He then dictated letters to the most eminent emirs
of Damascus, announcing that in consequence of treachery the Grand Vizier
had fallen into disgrace, and had been
strangled, and that his son, the Pasha
innl and U> w-U guard him till his ar- j
rival. i
Bofore, however, dispatching these in-1
irnetions he sent a letter by an express
THE PASHA OF DAMASCUS.
No country produces so many examples as Turkey of men i*ismg from the
lowest station lo the highest and greatest. Manners, customs and laws con-
lidewbly favor these sudden changes of
fortune. Hut of all these examples in
the Turkish history none surprises more
than the promotion of the Pasha Mu-
haiiied el Admi to the (I'lveninrship of
Damascus,
Muhitmcd. and Mui'tul were the sons
of a rich merchant iu Constantinople,
wlio died when his children had scarcely
passed tlieir boyhood, leaving them in
the possession of considerable fortunes.
Murml continued the business of his
father, and by prudence and industry
wnm increased his hereditary portion,
while Muhamed, in company of idlers
aud ilatterers, spent his share in the
most reckless manner, by indulging in
all kinds of excesses.--. It was no wonder
that this extravagant life totally ruined
Jluhiinii'd in a few years, aud that
when his fortune was gone his gay companions likewise departed. Even his
own brother closed his door against him,
diiclnring that he, not having heeded his
warnings, did not deserve compassion.
Although this is no uncommon fate of
epewdthrifts, still the conduct of his
fohtier JiHsociuto* «tid . especially the.,

duced a deep impression upon the gooil-
natured heart of this unhappy youth.
But, being gifted with inilexible power
of mind, he did not lose courage, but determined to Ik-iu* his well-merited fate
with manly finnuess.
At iirst no other means of subsistence
offered itself; he was forced to live on
the alms he received from the believers
at the mosques. It^mppened at this
time that the Kultan visited one of the
chief mosques. He was surrounded by
all the high dignitaries of the state,
dressed in the most costlv and magniii-
cent garments. Near him walked two i money among the people,

"Xouerr, sir," replied thn terrified

A few more words disclosed tho wholo
affair. Tho son of tho Grand Vizier,
highly rejoicing, went to thc house of
tho oilicial to change his clothes for somo

both started without dolay to Constantinople to pray tho Sultan for justice.
They first went to the Grand Vizier, who

great deal _was paid concerning the abolition of slavery during the early stages-
of the Bobollion, the first positive step
taken was the introduction ol sl bill in
tlie Senate by Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, for tho abolition of slaveiyin
tlie District of Columbia, and the payment to tho masters from the ti'ensm*y
of an average compensation of S300 each
fpr the slaves thus mentioned. This bill
passed both houses, and on the 18th qf
April, 1862, was signed by President
JDincobi. Some of tho curiosities of the
Blavoholdhig system were brought to

praised poverty, and ridiculed the foolish actions of the overbearing rich. Xou
may well imagine that the mass of people' following the monarch were more
greedy of the money thnn of the proverbs.
Muhamed was among the mass. He
observed attentively all tiie movements
of the monarch; and when the latter
took out of the bags handfuls of gold
aud silver and strewed it among the
multitude, he eagerly grasped at one oi
the small packets, and then, pushing
his way through tlie crowd, hastened to
a solitary spot and opened it. How
great was* his disappointment when, instead of the expected gold, he found a
round piece of glass. He was on tho
point of throwing it away, when Ids eyes
caught the following words—"Ability
and courage have opened the road to
distinction to many." Muhamedsmiled,
considered tho words, and, having token
a resolution, carefully placed both pa
lier and glass in his turban, and hastened away, well knowing how to act.

An Amusing Iteminiscenec of the late
War.
The* fight at Blackburn's ford, just to
tho left of Bnll run, was opened by the
Second Massachusetts infantry. Supported by a. New York and two Michignn
regiments, thoy advanced into tlio woods
imUl jthay beard something drop. The
regiment bumped Up against; intrencli-
ments and woro subjected to a, tremendous fire. JJeforo, going into the woods
tiio regiment was "dressed" as on a
pnnufc, and Uio Colonel rode out and
exclaimed: •
'l Men of- Mjissaohusettsl thftoyes of
your country aro upon you !".
There was a grand yell, and thoy Went
hi to conquer or to die i After fifteen
minutes' desperate lighting they retired
from the woods to re-form behind the.
supports. Among tho last was ah old
man. He had thrown away coat, hat,
gun and all accoutrements, and ho wns
badly demoralized. As ho passed tho
left iinnkof a Michigan regiment in line
of battle, a wag called out:
" Only 800 miles to Boston !"
The old man halted for a moment, and
anoUler joker observed:
" Tlio eyes of your country are upon
you."
"You blamed Wolverines, go to
grass!" growled tho old warrior. "I've
got a choice about this tiling, and I
druther stand tho eyes of my country all
day long than the fire, of them cussed
rebels for five minutes."
MtiSiii} dresses are still mado with
boK-phiited saeqno shapes in front, and
backihiisheil with a Spanish flounce;
but others are alsp merely gathered and
shirred at the neck and just abovo tho
deep flounce, giving an easy, looso appearance that is .graceful for slender
children. Ahotiier'pretty feature is that
of putting on a false yoke just ahovo the
Spanish flounce; this is trimmed on the
lower edge, just up each side of tiie
front, with lace or edging, and allowed
to fall over the flounce like ft little
basque.

'•j «'I .dtm't'wnnt to bo President/' sed
'tiie gilelis "old man, '"but the good uv
our ** common lentry, demands it. 'A
maa wich won't make sacrifices, for liis

a Qorrupt aristocracy. How is Kituncl
Phinger, uv Covington?"
"TheEuiinel is for Thurman," sed I.
j'Tell the Kunnel that ef that dees-
trilc goes for me he shel hev tho post-
oflisjifc Covington, and that mortgage on
to his house will bo attended to. No

pay him mora than I will, wich is
(town out uv retiracy reluctantly, and
solely for Uie good nv iv' Common ken-
fvy."
I replido that I thot that would fix
the Kunnel. Referring to a memorau-
dum-boolc, marked IColitueky, he went
on:        •
" Gineral Podger, uv Lexinton, hez
bin sayin sutliin for Bayard. It won't

olio's kentry a patriot must be libra!.
Wat is paltry dross compared with the
good of one s kentry ? And Maj. Mc-

1 replied that tho Major was not altogether satisfied with givin the sage uv
Noo York tho nomination, but Uiat I
wuz satisfied ho wuz waitiii to be. seen.
"See him. Find out eggsackly how
much ho wants, and promiso liim anything in the way uv oflises that he requires, ru rao great wonc uv savin
one's common kentry, i>romises can't bo

"Honored and patriotic sir," I replied, " that oflis hez bin already promised to three mon."
" Hev tliey sense ennff to keep their
mouths shut till titter the convenshuu?"
"I feer not, patriotic ailu honored

em. *Yoo can't hev two postoflises in

furrin misliuns, and a great many more
kin be made, ef need be, to save our

that our common kentry wuz not properly rcprosontid tibroad, and that ther
ought to be at lcest one Consul for every
Congreshuual deestrik, and twict ez
mauy full mishuus. I hate to double up,
but whnt kin I do? Ther ain't liothiu I
won't sncrilize to our common kentry.
For its sake I am being drivwd out uv

serve ez its President; for its sake I am
willin to open just ez many bar'ls ez my
uubought friends desire ; and shel I hesitate for its sake to promiso the same ollis
•to five men? Never! No troo pntriot
wood balk at so small a thing ez that.
Let em come. They shel hov all they

"Honored and patriotic sir, Kunnel
Simmons adores you in his heart, I am
certain, But the Kunnel is labrin under finaushel troubles, and he hez hesitated, to see wich candidate wood

"I understand tho Kunnel, and I am
Ids man. Ashoor the Kunnel that tho
Collectorsliip ov his district—"
"Bnt, honored aud patriotic, sir," I
replied, looking at my memorandum,
" that oflis hez bin promist to four men
alreddy."
" So it hez," replied tho patriot—"so
it hez. Yery good. He must hev a furrin inislin. Tell him to select auy ono
ho likes, and give liim my word for it.
Will that anser?"
"Better than anything. Tho Kunnel
is so heavily hi debt that a residence
abroad wood soot him better than to remain at home. He cood hev the flag uv
our, common kentry wavin' over his

nr his common kentry over his oflis in
Guatemaula to the Sheriff's flag over
his house in Kentucky. The Sheriff's
flag is a lurid red, and is not variegated
enuffforhim."
There wuz somo more arrangements

A servant, fresh from the country,

up—a work of art, so to speak. At bed

old fellow proceeds to demolish himself!
"My Godl" cries tho astounded servant,
"leavo enough of yourself to put to
