THE COBBLER OF BRUSA.
A TU11K1SII TALE.
Ill tho rt'Ign ofBajazet the Flrst.tlicro
lived in Urusa, that city being then tho
capital of tlio Turkish Empire, a poor
cobbler whoso naino was Eskigi Mcimct
Eflcmli. This worthy urtizan Inhabit.
cil n small house, coiitulniii); but ono
apartment, situated at the foot of Mount
Olympus. Tho clii'snut and piano trees,
with which tliosulesof that snow-cap
ped mountain arocovered.oversluidow
cd his hurnblo dwellinir, and offered a
cool retreat during tho sultry summer
days. Numerous streams and mineral
springs, reflected In their translucent
bosoms tho lofty scenery by which
they wore surrounded, and gave birth
to plants and Uowers of brilliant hue,
ond aromatic odour. Tho shepherd, as
if fearful of disturbing tho crystal siirfnco
of tlieso waters, drives his Hock to somo
distant summit, from which ho looks
down at his easo upon tho prospect be
ncath him; nml tlio birds, whoso nests
aro among tlio neighboring trees, hardly
rufllo tho mirror-IIko currents with tho
light dip of their wings.
It was In tlio midst of scenery like
this that Eskigi Meimet Effeudl had
fixed his hubltatiou. Tho routine of his
lifo was simple and regular. Early in
tho morning, lio would go ono or two
miles into tho city, and bring homo all
the old shoes, that ho could collect from
his customers. 7o would then take
lis bench, with his awl and lap-stone,
beneath somo largo tree, and thero
work merrily at his trade. In this
way, he managed daily to cam it few
tiaras, which wero barely sufficient to
suppoit himself and his family, consist
Ingofa wifoniitln child. Hut being ac
customed during tho day to tho beauti
ful sights uround Mount Olympus, ho
could not remain content in IiU humblo
domicllo at night, without having a
great number of lights burning in his
presence. Coiistn.uently, after purchas
ing a few of his indispenslblo neces
saries of life, ho would spend tho re
mainder of his small pittiinco In oil.
After tho prayer ofsuntet, which tho
Turks call uxam namas, tlio honest cob
bler would prcparo his illuminatioiH.
Then, havinir taken his supper, ho
would chat with his wife, smoko his
chlbotiuc, uud truiti on hlsgultar.whllo
his child daneed to tlio sound. Some
times hu would sing to tlio full stretch
of Tillungs, according to tho Turkish
fashion. " At tho init or fifth prayer,
w h Ich took pi acu t wo I io u rs a f ter s u me t ,
ho would retire to bed.
In thoso tlmes.thoTurklsh emperors,
accompanied by somoofllcer of distinct
ion, were, often In tho habit of walking
in disguise, sometimes by day, and
sometimes by night, so that seeing with
'their own oyrs, and hearing with their
own ears, they might truly tnow tlio
wants nml dispositions of their subjects,
nml tako their measures accordingly.
Now it happened that Bajazet tho
First, in passing tho domicllo of Eskigi
Moimet Effendl, had often been amazed
with tho brilliant Illuminations and tlio
very loud songs of that patriotic cob
birr. Consequently, ono evening, tho
Sultan and Ills Vizier having assumed
tho costurao of dervlslics.stopped beforo
tho house, in which many lights seem
ed to burn, and knocked at tho door. A
volco from within, asked, "Who is
there ?" Tho two Illustrious personages
of tho empire replied that thoy wero
dervishes, who in tlio numo of God, do
sired hospitality. Eskigi Meimet Ef
fendl answered, by telling them to wait
a few minutes, till ho had found means
of concealing his wife, It being.ns every
ono knows, contrary to tho customs of
tho Turks, to admit ft man Into tho
preseneoof their wives, unless ho bo it
near relation. Tlio poor cobbler huvlng
but ono loom, was puzzled how ho
bhould dieposti of his better half. Rut
being unwilling to refiiMi hospitality to
his visiters, ho thought it best to fix up
tho coiinterpaiiti in mm corner of tho
apartment, us it sort or screen, beiiintt
which his wife might retire. Having
done this In the naitcst manner ho
could, ho opened tlio door to his two
cuesU, After tho talam we him, or
usual suluto of tho Turks, ho placed be
foro them a pleco of bread nntl cheeso,
tho remnants of his scanty supper, and
n bowl of puro water- Then succeeded
tho nnrgclo or hubble-bubble, a plpoof
Bcrpcntlno form and dimensions. Tlio
Grand Solgnor, nftcr partaking lightly
of tho proffered civilities of Ills host,
nsked htm among other Inquiries, tho
nnturo of his vocation. Eskigi Moimet
Effendl replied tully to ull his questions,
milling, that his only pleasure after tlio
labour oftho day wasover,wnsntnight
to hnvo his houso brilliantly Illumina
ted, nntl to talk, dance, nnd sing, with
liis wife nnd child, thanking tho Al
mighty for all that ho had done nnd
was doing, nnd moro particularly for
having placed at tho head oftho nation
so wlso and great on emperor,for whoso
lifo, continued tho cobbler, "My wlfo
and myself constantly pray, nnd under
whoso reign wo liopo to die."
After somo fitrthorconvorsatlon Eskigi
Meimet Effendi, retired Into hlshnrom,
or, moro literally speaking, behind tho
tho counterpano, and left tho sofa for
his two guests. At sunrise, nftcr tho
saUth namas, or prayer of tho morning,
tho Grand Selgnor and his Vizier, quit
ted tho humblo abode, where they had
passed tho night,for tho palace. On their
way, Rnjazet conversed on tho subject
of their visit, and remarked with how
llttlo n man might bo happy, alluding
to tho example of tlio cobbler, who with
a few paras, hardly sulllclent to pur
cliaso necessary food, had his illumina
tion, his musie,antldances,and believed,
himself,tho very happiest of men. "I
wish," said tho Vizier,"tlutt your high
ness would issuo orders fobldding all
cobblers' shops to bo open, and all cob
blers to mend shoes until further notice,
under tho penalty of death. By this
means wo can mako tho experiment,
whether tho happlncssof EsklglMeimot
depends upon cire"umstances,or whether
ho would retain lib good spirits under
a reverso of fortune." Tho Grand
Seignor whs pleased with tho sugges
tlou,and tlio talals or public criers wero
Immediately tcnttlirougliall tliestrccts
of tlio city, to proclalm,that, "By order
of tho sublime Porto, nil cobblers' shop?
must bo closed, and no cobbler must
work at his trade, until farther notice."
Eskigi Meimet Effendl, was in tho
great bazar of Brusa, collecting old
shoes, when ho heard this proclamation.
Quitting his customers, ho returned
homo hastily to his wife, and told her
tho order of tho day, asking, in a tono
of despair what they wero to do at night
for their illumination I But tlio good
woman thought It a moro proper sub
ject of inquiry, what they wero to do
for bread, and believed that tho prospect
of starvation was worso than that of bo-
lug without lights during tho evening.
After it brief consultation with his
wife, tho poor cobbler concluded tho
best tiling lie could do to obtalu a little
money, would bo to tako a basket and
spado upon his shoulders, and seek em
ployment in removing tho dust from
tho houses and court yards of tho rich.
In this occasion ho succeeded beyond
his hopes, making twice ns much money
as ho could by cobbling old shoes ; and
ho returned homo with moro oil than
usual for his illumination, together witli
a leg of mutton, which hud been rousted
In a kiabapai, or cook-shop. After light
ing up his houso lu qulto a brilliant
manner, lie took supper witli his family,
and then, as usual, began to sing lustily.
Tho Grand Seignor, wishing to sco
what effect his proclamation would havo
upon tlio cobbler, that evening again ns
timed tho disguise of u dervlsh,atid with
Ids Vizier, appeared at tho door of
Eskigi Meimet Effendl, and requested
hospitality. As soon as ho had taken
tlio same precaution witli respect to his
wife, that ho had deemed necessary tho
night before, tho cobbler admitted his
visiters into tlio houc. Tho usual sa
lutations passed between them, anil tlio
host set beforo them his remaining picco
of mutton aud bread. On being asked
tho nows of tlio day, ho mentioned tho
proclamation of tlio public crier, his
own new employment, his increased
profits, ami tho splendor of his Illumi
nation. Tho honest cobbler frankly
owned that he could not exactly under
stand tho object of tlio proclamation
perhaps it would soon bo known but
lie conjectured that his highness, tho
emperor, Inul issucil tlio oruer lor bomo
political end. Much moio wits said re
specting tho events of tlio day, and at a
Into hour, tho party separated and re
tired to rtst.
Tho next morning, thoGrand Seignor
andjtls Vizier returned home, some
what1 amused with their visit. They
Immediately caused to bo proclaimed
throughout tho city. "That no person
or persons should follow tho occupation
of a remover of dust, until further no
tlce, imdertho penalty of death."Eskigl
Meimet EtVendi, who was at that mo
iiient entering tho city witli his basket
aud spade, as soon as ho heard tho criers
proclaiming tills now tlccree, rati homo
very much alarmed, and with tears in
ills eyes, miido it known to his wife, ex
claiming, 'WhatHliall wo do now for
our Illumination!" "S.ty, rather, what
shall wo do for our bread?" was tho re
ply. At last tho poor man bethought
himself that ho would tako a basket
and go up Mount Olynipin to gather
asparagus. Tho idea was a good ono,
nnd that day ho made four times us
much as ho used to when working at
his trade. IIo now bought thrico tlio
usual quantity of oil, together with a
number of tallow candles for his Illu
mination. Ho also procured n hunch
of onions, aud a llttlo fresh butter and
rlcu to mako a pllluu. With tlieso ho
returned homo moro contented than n
king with Ills fcceptrc.
IIo made, that night, tho most splen
did illumination over exhibited in his
house, ami not having candlo-sticks, ho
placed thocnudlcs lua row over tlio llro
place, or fixed them In tlio Assures lu
Hit walla. IIo clapped his hands with
delight, when ho hud completed tlieso
arrangements. Uu had hardly iliilshed
his supper uud commenced ills usual
sluglui-, when tho two dervishes ugnlit
rapped at his door, As it Is tho custom
of tho Turks to grunt hospitality to
strangers for threo days, ho thought It
his duty to admit ills two Importuiintii
vidters ouco more, Accordingly, hav
ing again arranged tho counterpano so
1869.
COL
ns to form n retreat for his wlf,ho open
ed tho door and his guests cntcrod. Dur
ing tho conversation, which now took
place, Eskigi Meliniot Effendl related
how ho had managed, by the nsslstanco
of God, to provide for his family n good
8Upper,much of which still remained for
his friends. Hut his chief delight was
in tho magnificent illumination, which
lie had found menus of exhibiting. lie
thought that oven tho Sultan had never
had so many lights burning in his pal
ace; and Anally, ho considered It pretty
evident that ho was tho happiest mortal
alive.
Tho a rand Seignor was pleased, but
nt tlio same time a llttlo piqued at tho
cobbler's pertinacious good humor.
When ho arrived at his palace, tho next
morning, ho remarked lo his Vizier
that somo other method must bo adopt
ed, In order to effect their object, and
that a man who was really determined
to work, could nlwnys find employ
ment. Tho Vizier replied, that hohad
thought of a plan, which was lo glvo
tho cobbler an ofllce,nntl having detain
ed him nil day In tlio palace, to send
him homo at night without any money.
The Sultan approved of tho plan, and
immediately ordered ono of his minis
ters to send for Eskigi Meimet Effendl,
and on his arrival to invest him with
thooirtco and dignities of high sheriff,
or gelat bachi. Messengers wore accord
ingly despatched to fulfil tills imperial
command.
On being summoned to attend them
to tho palace, tlioastonislicd cobbler bo
gan to shako in his shoes, believing that
ho was about to bo strangled or drowned
in a suck, on somo false accusation, lio
kissed ids child, and took Icavo of his
wlfo, who throw herself In wild dismay
upon tlio sofa. As soon us ho arrived at
thopaluce, without waiting to bo In
formed ofthocauso of his being brought
there, ho throw himself at tho feet of
tho minister, and Implored ids mercy.
But when tho terrified suppliant was
tofd that ho had been appointed to the
ofllcoof high sheriff, Joy and astonish
ment took tho placo of consternation
and grief. lie was sent to tho bath,
and habited In a newand costly uniform
and with a Damescus sword.
Having remained in tho palaco dur
ing tlio day, ho rode homo in tho even
ing, on an Arabian horse, accompanied
by a train of attendants. They left him
at tho door of his house, which ho en
tered alono. Ho found his wlfo In tho
position in which ho had seen her last,
tho poor woman having lost all hopes
of again beholding her husband. She
started up In amazement.on seeing him
standing over her, habited in a rich
and beautiful dress. He soon satisfied
her curiosity with respect to his visit to
tho palace, and consoled her for all her
apprehensions. But after lie had finish
ed the account of his adventures, ho be
gau to look melancholy, nnd said to his
wife: "Alas! what shall wo do to-night
for our Illumination? I have no money,
and wo havo neither oil nor candles to
burn." "Nor bread to eat," added his
spouse.
Eskigi Meimet EUbndisot musing for
somo time upon tho sofa. At last, strik
ing his hand upon his knee, ho exclaim
ed, "i (ire und leaving tlio room,
lie hastened to a neighbouring carpen
ter, to whom ho sold tho blado of Ills
Damascus sword for a considerable sum
of money, on condition that lio would
make for him a blado of wood, to bo
fitted to tho handlo and delivered early
in tlio morning. IIo accordingly left
tlio sword witli tho carpenter and quit
ted tlio shop with his money. Tlio
worthy high sheriff now purchased a
largo quantity of oil and candles, and
then turned his attention towards buy
ing n variety of food for supper. Re
turning homo, ho mndoa most brilliant
Illumination, while his wlfo performed
tho ofllco of cook.
In a short timo tho Sultan nnd his
Vizier in their customary disguise,
again knocked nt tho door. Eskigi
Meimet Effendl hesitated for somo timo
about admitting thom. lie considered
that lio was now a high officer of tlio
cmplro, nnd it man of rank, nnd ought
not to receive persons of low dogreo in
to his house. But they renewed their
entreaties so prossimrly, that ho con
honted to grant them hospitality for tho
hist time. On entering, they oxpressed
their astMilshmeiit nt Ills now dres8,niul
asked him how lie had eomoby it. Ills
reply was that tho distributor of thrones
nntl tho shadow of God upon earth, his
majesty the Sultan, had raised him to
tho office of high sheriff; and thereupon
ho described to them his fceveral ad
ventures during tho dy. IIo begged
thom never again to take tho liberty of
knocking at his door.ns ho was no long:
or n cobbler, neither n remover of dust,
nor a gatherer of asparagus, but an offi
cer oftho cmplro, and thnt ho must bo
treated accordingly. In tho midst of
his boasting, tho Grand Seignor inquir
ed how ho had managed, without mon
ey, to still keep up ills Illuminations;
nntl tho ox-cobbler, notwithstanding
Ills lofty pretensions and his determin
ation to stand upon his dignity, could
not forbear telling them how ho had
contrived to raise money, by selling
the blado of his Damascus sword. The
Grand Seignor laughed heartily at tho
clrcumstanco, and they soon after sep
arated for tho night.
Tlio Sultun and his Vizier readied
thu palace, at mi early hour tlio next
morning. Tho tnollah, or chief Judgo,
was Immediately ordered Into the im
perial presence, and asked if thero wero
any person to bo executed that day. It
was ascertained that thero was ono In
dividual wlio was awaiting tlio punish
ment of death, in consequence of having
indulged in somo strictures upon tho
government, Tho grantl Seignor Inti
mated his will that tho new high sher
iff should uiaku his maiden attempt ut
decapitation on the bead of tho prison
er. Preparations for tlio execution wero
accordingly mnilo In a largo Bquuro near
the palace. A vast multltudu tu-bcin
bled to wltuetis tlio spectacle.
Tl o sentence of death was read In
tho prisencnof the people, who on lip
too awaited the result. Tho high slier
in was oruer to come rorwurtl iiuu per
form his duty. That respectable officer
approached tlio trembling victim, tunl
ordered him to kneel and lay Ills head

upon tho block. Then cmsnlntr tho
hilt of his sword, ho uttered the follow
ing prayer in tho hearing of tho crowd
nround tlio platform: "O Thou.who nrt
nbovo nil human wisdom nnd nil hu
man Judgmcnt.lf tho poor vlctlm,whoso
neau J. am Hero ordered to sovcr from
his body, bo Innocent, turn, I prny thco
tho steel of my sword, into wood, so
that I may commit no Injustice!"
tto immediately unshenthed his blado
nnd, to tlio Inexpressible amazement of
tho spectator, It wasjndccd turned to
wood ! Tho peoplo sliouted with ono
ncclaim, "a miracle!" They looked
with awo and admiration upon tho
man, whoso faith, they belloved, had
brought It to pass. Tho prisoner was
rescued nmldcliccrsand congratulations
Tlio higli sheriff was borno along upon
tho shoulders of tho multitude, into
tho imperial presence.
As soon as that exemplary execution
er laid eyes upon hU sovereign, ho rec
ognized him for ono of tho dervishes,
who luiu so often visited his houso of
late. IIo Immediately began to trem
bio violently, nnd fear rendered him
speechless, for ho know thnt tho Qrand
Seignor was well nwaro of tho process
ny which his blado had been changed
from steel Into wood. But tlio Sultan
soon re-assured him, and ordering him
to approach nearer, ho signified to him
his promotion to tho office of aga, or
governor of a small villagonear tliocap-
ltai, witli aealary or fivo hundred Turk
ish piastres.
It is superfluous lo descrlbo tho satis
faction and delight of Eskigi Meimet
Effendl, at this now accession of fortune.
Ho prostrated himself beforo the distri
butor of thrones, kissing lils feet, and
exhibiting ovcry mark of tho most
lively gratitude. On his return homo,
ho cut so many capers and sung so vo
ciferously, that his wife began to sus
pect thnt ids intellect was unhinged.
But she finnlly succeeded In obtaining
from him n full account of his good for
tune. He explained to her his Intcn
tlous wtthjrcspect to his future Illumi
nations, which must havo been rarely
surpassed in splendour. In a few days,
ho departed with his family for the seat
of his government. If tradition may
bo trusted, ho ruled wisely and well,
equalling, doubtless, in honesty and
acuteness, oven tho renowned Sancho
I'unza.
The Petrified Body or a Giant
Ten Feet and a Hale High Ex
humed. Tho Syriicuso Courier says :
On Saturday morning labt, two men by
tlio nameof Gideon Emmons and Henry
Nichols, wero engaged in digging a
well on tho farm of Mr. Newel, about a
mile and a half from Carnlff,when they
suddenly camo upon what appeared to
bo a man's foot of colossal dimensions ;
at first they wero somewhat startled, as
a matter of courso ; and proceeding to
dig around it thoy discovered tho legs
nnd body of what thoy supposed to ban
petrified roan of monstrous size. Tho
body lay about two nnd n hilf feet be
low tho surface of tho earth, on its back,
with its right arm and hand crossed up
on Its breast. Its legs werecrosscd,ono
lying upon nnd across tlio other. Tho
news of tho discovery of tho supposed
human being spread like wiidliro
through tho valley, and nil day Satur
day and Sunday hundreds of people vis
ited tho locality. Dr. J. F. Boynton.of
this city a geologist of celebrity, paid n
visit to tho Iocall ty,yestofday afternoon ,
and mado n most thorough examina
tion, nnd pronounces it to boa statue of
a Caucasian, Tlio features nro finely
cut and arc in perfect harmony. Tho
stone is tlio gypsum of Onondaga coun
ty. It is thodoctor's opinion that tho
stntuo was carved by tho Jesuits or tho
early Inhabitants of tlio country, and
was placod in tho slough In which it
was found for tho purpose of concealing
It. Tho dimensions mid proportion of
tlio statue aro colossal and majestic. Its
length Is ten feet threo inches. Wo in
clino to tho opinion that tho discovery
Is the petrified remains of a human be
ing. A statuo would hardly havo Its legs
crossed nor would Its arms bo placed lu
legs crossed nor would Its nrms be
plncetl In tho position described nbovo.
Tho features nro as perfect and tho form
is as compieio ns mat or i living per

Tho Poison Administered to Carlot
ta and Ocn Iicscn.
Gen. Lcscn, the Spanish general la
Cuba, has suddenly lost his military
genius, and fallen Into delirious ravings,
from poison, and Is now subject to tho
samo insanity ns the Empress Curlottn.
It is uncertain whothcr tho deed was
perpetrated by some ono of tho insur
gents or by somo Spaniard who feared
that Lesca was using too much clemen
cy toward tho Cuban forces. Tho poi
son used is the samo as that administer
ed to poor Carlotta. It maddens with
out bringing death to its victim, and is
derived from an herb which grows in
Cuba, Soutli America nnd a few places
in Mexico. Tho plant is ono of tho
most remarkable of nature's production.
It resembles the century plant In many
of Its features. Llko tho century plant,
it Is a member oftho cactus family, still
further, it blooms once in many years,
and ut regular intervals. The bud is
large, nnd resembles that of tho horse
chestnut in tho peculiar gluten sur
rounding it. Tho flower is of gigantic
slzo, and contains a purplo centre, sur-,
rounded by bluo and white circles. Tho"
perfume is delicious, but deadly ami
tho natives shun its approach as tho
sailors of old tlio songs of thu Sirens.
To 1 n halo is sweet but to remain is
death. The sorcerers, or medlcino men
tako tho buds of this singular plant,
and first roasting, placo them In a pot
with sweet oil over a firo and dance
around with strango ceremonial, till tho
oil and tiio Julco of tho herb mingle,
when they eeaso their strango incanta
tions and pour tho decoction, then re
sembling honey, Into shallow plates,
from which, after tho lapso of a few
days, Is taken out and kept in minia
ture jars. Tlio poison, when taken in
tuflicient quantity, first places tho bruin
