Of all the wandering claimants to royal ty, scions of kings "retired from business," soi'ib'mnt reijal pretenders, false or real whether like i'erkin Warbeck, or the six Dcmetriuscs of Russia, some more recent pitiido heirs uf ihe house of Stuait who figured in Austria after the Quarterly drove theui out of Scotland, 4,the D'jke of Nor mandy" in London, and so forth, who have appeared from time lo time, none have had so marrelous a story to tell as the V rinces9 Oecile, "La Utile I'urqtie," as she was called, who, announcing herself, in two volumes octavo, to be a daughter of the deposed sultan Aehmet III., took the heedless world of l'aris by surprise, abaut a hundred years ago, and whose narrative has frequently been classed with romances, though it came forth as a veritable hiitory. lue editor, who guaranteed its truth, was a man ot veracity and credit in his ay ? and he urged upon the public, that however extraordinary and romantic her adventures might appear,jthey were, never- "d i" a letter ad. "I""1. w "'j'fora of the Journal de j: in is, in noi, ne nuueu, tbat in that year the lady was still alive in the French capital, "and, notwithstanding her ad vanced ago, in the enjoyment of good health." It is singular that her narrative, whether false or true, as given by herself and "M. IJuu-son, Litteraire, Hotel de Mesgrigny, Rue des Pottevine," as it would furnish materials for the largest three volume novel escaped the eyes of Alexandre Duma?, or Viscount d'Arlincourt, as it is full of adventure of the most stirring kind, and, told briefly, runs thus : The introductory part of her story, in which the names of persons of rank are concealed, contains, necessarily, tho ad ventures of her governess, or nurse, by whom she was first abducted and brought to France. It would appear that about the year 1750, a M'lle Emilia (sic), daughter of a surgeon in the French seaport town of Genes, was, with her lover, a young Ge noese named Salmoni, in a pleasure boat upon the Mediterranean, a little way from the coast, when, notwithstanding "la ter reur du nora do Louis XVI ," ihey were pounced upon by some Turkish corsairs a common enough event in those days, and one not unfrequent after Lord Ex mouth demolished Algiers. This occurred in the dusk ; and the voice of Salmoni, who had been singing is supposed fo have first attracted them. Being armed, the Italian defended his love and his life with courage, but fell severely wounded, and was left for dead at the bottom of his boat, which floated away, the sport of the waves, while Emilia was carried off, and in consequence of her great beauty, was sold, at Constantinople, under the came of Fatima, for the service and amusement of Aehmet III., who, in consequence of her accomplishments, made her a species of governess to his children, instead of retaining Tier among tho odalis-, qu?8 in the seraglio. This must have been subsequent to 1703, when Acbmoi began his troublesome reign She was in this situation of trust when Salmoni, wh had never forgetten her, after a long and unsuccessful search through many seaport towns In the Levant a veritable pilrim of love accidental! icovered. by a casual conversation with a Turkish seaman, where she was, and how occupied ; for this man had been one of the corsair's crew. Disguised as a Turk, and giving out that "he was the father of Faliraa, the trusted slave," Salmoni found means to cemmus uicate with her through an itcltcoglan, one of Ihe slaves or pages attached to the ser aglio, and they were thus enabled to see ach other and converse, their hasty meet ings being but stolen moments of tendar ness and joy. Emilia was now in attnd;nce upon a little daughter of Aehmet III., born in 1710, and then six months old. Her mother was the Sultana Aska, formerly a Georgian slave, and then one of the ka dinei or wives of the Sultan, ladies whose number rarely exceeds seven. Etnclia was high in favor with both Aehmet and this sultana, as she hud been particularly ser viceable to the latter at the birth of the child, through some little skill she had ac quired from her father, the surgeon ; thus the confidence they reposed in her, and the authority she possessed over all the people in and about the seraglio, facilitated the execution of those plans for an escape, suggested and urged by Salmoni. Wilh a view to his end, she desired the laatonghi or boad-gardener, to make a see saw, which was in the gardens, so high that ehe-: and her pupils, probably might see the whole city from the lofty wall that girds this place, where still the trves plant c J uro alwas green, that the inhabitants of Galata and other places may not see Ihe ladies at their lonely promenades. A.did by this see-saw, she dropped over the wall a billet to Salmoni, desiring him to procure a ladder, a "steel yard"' 1 fix it to the masonry, to make arrangements with a ship captain, and, when all was prepared, to wait her beneath the wall of that terrible Serai Bournous, whieh no slave-woman had ever yet left alive. Salmoni promptly obeyed her instruc tions ; he discovored a ship for ihe Levant, and, by a note tossed over the wall, in formed her of the night, and th very hour of their departure. She was in the act of reading this note probably not for the first time when the Sultan Aehmet suddenly entered her apartment ; and she had barely time to toss it, unsesn, into a porphyry vase ; for this billet, if discovered, might have con signed her to the bowstring of the cajyid yibashi r the sack of the black thannutor- ija, and its concealment forms an impor tant feature in the story of the fugitives. The hour almost the moment for flight had arrived, and Salmoni, she knew, awaited her below the garden wall ; yet, amid all the terror and anxiety of the time, so strong was Emilia's love for the little baby girl, of whom she had the chief care, that she resolved to convey the child away with her, and hoped eventually to rear it as a Christian. Collecting all her jewels, and those which Aehmet had already lav ished on the infant, she took with them the silken tji. or record of its birth, and to be brief, escaped unseen by means of the steel-yard and ladder. As she descended, tho ladder was held for her hy a person in a gray cloak, whom she believed to be Salmoni, and into whose arms she was, consequently, about to throw herself, when another man started fucwiui "1 i.bmpe.l a sword into his breast. He fled, and a cry escaped Emilia, who fell to the ground, but at that moment the captain of the vessel by which Salmo ni had arranged they should escape, rushed up, and tearing off the mufiiings of the fallen man, merely exclaimed, "It is not he !" and bore her off to the seashore. An alarm had been given. There was no lime to wait for the absent Salmoni ; so she was placed at once on board tho vessel, which immediately sailed and made all speed to leave the Golden Horn be hind . She proved to be a small craft be longing to Bayonne, commanded by a young captain from Dieppe, who ultimate ly landed Emilia and her charge at Genes, where her li.tt care wa lo have the linle Turtjiu baptized according to the rites of the Catholic Church. This, it is recorded, was done by the enre of St Eulalia de Genes, who named her Marie Cecile ; aud in honor of an event so remarkable, a salute was fired by the cannon of the chateau and those of the ramparts of the fort ; and three re ligeuses, named respectively La Mere St. Acnes. La Mere St. Mudeste and La Mere de rilumiliic, are mentioned as having taken a deep interest in the escaped fugi tive and her charge, who was kept in ig norance of her origin till her fifteenth year. We know not how many daughters Aehmet HI. is said to have had, but in a letter of Lady Mary Wortley Montague, dated from Adrianople, she writes of his eldest being betrothed in marriage to Be bram Bassa, then the reigning court favor ite, and translates a copy of versea he had addressed to her. Cecile -was now taken to several Eu ropean courts, 'at which," according to the narrative, "she was received with all the horwwa due to her illu6trioua rank." In Russia sho was presented to the Czar Peter 1 (who died in that year) ; but in England she would seem to have contented herself with a short residence at a coffee house (aft) in Coven t Garden. Among oilier sovereigns, she was presented to Pope Clement XI., at Home, where her beauty which she inherited from her Georgian mother, especially the profusion of her exquisite hair, began to surround her wilh snares and perils. In Koine, her guardian, Emilia, had the joy f once mare meeting Salmoni. The man who had been stabbed beneath the seraglio wall had not been he, but Ihe Turkish corsair, through whom he had first traced her there, and who had hoped to make profit out of the Intended escape by treacherously revealing it to the Sul tan, and for this purpose he had plotted wilh a female 6laf e attached to the palace. This woman, through whvse hands the important billet passed, had artfully erased the hour of twelve, fixed by Salmoni, and substituted eleven. Hence, though the sailor had full lime to make the attempt, he failed in the execution of his purpose ; 6o now, after all their perils. S-dmoni and j Emilia were married in the Eternal City, where the love affairs of "La belle Turque" speedily began to attract notic. First, we are told that a duke fell in loe with her; but 6he made him her fiiend, assuring him tkat he could never be meia to her, as she had already be coma inspired by a passion for a handsome young Kniht ' of Malta, who hoped soon to be absolved from las vow of celibacy. While waiting for this, the knight's father, old IVince , as mischance would have it, be came enamoured of her, reckless that he was the rival of his son ; and, to avoid his importunities, she and the Salmoni set out suddealy for l'aris, where, by the knavery of a banker, she lost much of the proceeds of the jewels brought from Con stantinople ; so that her fortune was re duced from sixty thousand Iivres yearly to about ten thousand. In a ccitve-house at Faris. Cecile chanced to see in the Ga&ctte de France an account of the misfortune that had overtaken her father, Aehmet HI. This was in 1730, when that weak and imbe cile voluptuary, who had viewed wilh in difference the Hungaiian troubles and the wars of the North after being involved in a cAntest wilh Russia, by which he lost in succetsion the ci:ies of Asoph and Belt grade, and the provinces of Teraesvar, Servia, and Wailachia, on the diicoru.fi ture of his arms by Persia, had an insur rection among his own subjects, and was compelled by the Jauizanes to abdicate in favor of his nephew, Mustapha III, who threw him into n prison where he passed a life of mortification and shame, "after he had," as Voltaire has it, "sac rificed his vizier and his principal oiDcers in vain, l the resentment if the nation " On reading of all these things. Cecile registered a vow that she would visit Tur- ! key, seek out her father, and endeavor to j console him in his misfortune! ; and Ihe death of her guardian, Emilia, about this j time, together with the annoyance she ex- I perienced from the old . prince, who, pre- ! suming on her friendless, dubious, false position, daily "became more urgent and less respectful," hastened her departure. Ak ne she set out for Fontaiucbleau to return thanks for the protection afforded her by the court of Louis XIV. ; but in returning to Paris, her carriage was stop ped at night in the forest, which then covered thirty thousand acres of hill and valley, and there ensued an episode, which, by its coincidences, sceuai too evi dently romance, though truth at limes is stranger than fiction. A handsomely-attired chevalier who proved to bo the Prince requested her to alight and enter a ro.'ture, which stoeW tliere wiiii si a. Liuroc, ,,ioa;s tht oho would do so "without compelling him lo use violence," On tlm she uttered a cry for help ; and ere long another vo.'lure dashed up, and there leaped out a gentleman, eword in hand. He proved to be young Duke de , her Roman admirer, and he had barely time to recognize Cecile, when her betrothed appeared in the scene, which thua becomes so me'o-dramatic as to throw ridicule on the story. "The Duke is about fo deprive you of your mistress," said the cunning old Prince to his son ; "let us jointly usa our swords against him in defeuco of your dearest interests." So thereupon the cavalier of Malta ran the poor duke tbreugh the body. in the most approved fashion ; bore "off tho fainting Cecile to Paris, and placed her in the hotel of his father. There the renew ed but secret addresses of the latter so greatly alarmed her that on one occasion she had li protect herself by an exhibi tion of pistols, after which she escaped with Salmoni and ihe lvnight, who urged that she should in fulfillment of her vow, visit her captive father, while he once more 6lrove, at the feet of Pope Clement's successor, to get his oath of celibacy ab solvcd. In Turkey, some unruly Janizaries slew Salmoni, and were abeut to offer some violence to Cecile, despite her French passport, when she displayed before them the fetfa. This we are told, was a piece of yellow silk on which were embroidered, in golden letters, the names of the Sultan, of her mother Aski, and herself, with the day and hour of her birth, together with certain passages from the Koran r . "The children of the sultans are bound with the f'et'u immediately after birth ; and this document is deemed a sacred proof of their royal descent, and at the sight of it, every Mahommedan must bow himself to the ground, and defend with his life the J wearer of It," 15y this time her cousin Mustapba HI. ; was dead, and his successor her kinsman, j Mohammed V., on hearing of her story, and, more than all, of her beauty, con ceived a passion for her, and sent his chief friend and confidante, Ihe Ueglerbcg of Natolia, to inform her of the honor I hat awaited her. Ueing informd that it was the fam of her wonderful hair that had first excited the curiosity and admiration of the Sultau. shu cut it entirely olf, and, tossing it to the messenger i "Go," said she, "and give your master this, :he object f his love, and tell hitn that a woman capable of such a sacrifice, knows no master but Heaven aud her own heart. ' Had chignons been then in fashion, much trouble might have b.'en saved the fair Cecile ; who, finding that a hasty dc parture from Turkey alone could save her, demanded, but in vain, a passport from the Pacha of Smyrna or Ixtnir. Urged by her father Aehmet, she quitted secretly by sea, and was landd by a French frigate at Toulon, where 6he learned from the lieutenant ot a Maltese galley that her lover had perished in a duel Her journey to Turkey had greatly im- poverished her, and now she found herself i" France almost without a fiiend, with only five hundred ducats and a diamond, the gift of her father Aehmet III. Choos ing to conceal her fallen fortune from every eye, she solected an humble dwell ing in an obscuic part of the city, where, long years after, her editor first discovered her, and where at a distance from royal thioncs, from human wealth and gran deur, she had sought to pass the evening of her days in peace and obscurity. "God has blessed my fortitude," she concludes, ' Born in 1710. I have lived to see tho 1st of January, 178G, and must now serenely and tranquilly await the peace by which death rauot make amends for all the sur prising and afflicting changes of fortunes which I have exnetienced in my passage through life." - Cecile if ever she existed at all must have been then in her seventy-sixth year. Her narrative is certainly meniioned in the Journal de Paris ; but in the tide of events that so rapidly followed the year in which the financial troubles of France began, ihe meeting of the State-General, and the crash of the first Revolution fol lowing, we hear no more of "La Belle Turque," the soi-dtmnt daughter of tke dethroned Aehmet HI. Tiik following anecdote is Liven as authentic: Soon after Horace Greeley had made bis mark on the regi.-ter of a hotel, in a certain place visited by him during his fail lecture tour; a mi her aged country man came into the office, and, after ex aniiuing the register, asked if Dr. B was in. 'There is no such person here," said the gentlemanly clerk. 'No such person here," echoed the venerable rustic, taking off his spectacles, and gazing into -the face of the clerk with much incredulity and astonishment. "No6uch person here,'' firmly rv-;choid the clerk. "Young man," exclaimed the other, with a solemu expression of countenance, "young man, don I he to me. It won t do. You can't fool old Gill Parks. Dr. B 's been here as sure as guns, and pretty drunk, too, I lockon, for he's left one of them Latin prescriptions ot his on the register!" And the doctor's friend gazed down at Horace's improved Arabic with a look of triumphant recognition. A Widow Wooixi. A Sunbury widew. the other day. took it into her head to take advantage of the privileges nfforJed by Leap Year, and she forthwith imiiud a letter to one cf our steady widowers proposing an al liance matrimonial between them. Not re ceiving a reply within what she presumed was a reasonable time, she waited upou the honored gentleman in person, feaiing her letter had gone astray. We have Dot been informed as to the details of the interview, and what attitude she assumed, whether standing or kneeling, aud what were the honied words which fell from her lips. Lot her hand was refused Grruly end fearlessly by the gentleman after a t-hort parley. She dil not allow her heart to break, nor did she lose her energy iu the tfljrt, as, after a short interval, she proceeded to the domicil of another widower (her cJioice appearing to be for widowers) and applied for a like situ alien. Here she was treated with less for bearance, and was given "five minGtes to leave." Whether she made use of the five minutes in persuasive argument, or whether she left instaoter in a disgusted frame of mind, we know not. The reader is assured that this story is not a fiction, but a fact. tSuidtury Democrat. How to Elope Legally. Some time since, a young gentleman, well known about fewn, went to codsuU a legal gentleman, of Lincoln's Inn, about carrying off an heiress-. "You cannot do it wiihoot danger' said the lawyer ; "but let her mount a horse and hold the bridle and whip, and then yon get behind her, and you are run away by her, in which case you are safe." Next day, the lawyer found his daughter had run away in the aforesaid maucer with his client. . . It is stated that the practice of brewing beer from rice is rapidly coining into use in Germany.

A Salt Lake City correspondent of the Cin cinnati Covirnercial writes: You canDot judge of the Mormon girls by what yon ese upon the streets, for they era Dot of the sort tbat go cfteo shopping, but you mustattend some ball or social gath ering. Afief that Ton will acknowledge that nearly all the Mormon girls are good looking aud some of then vry pretty. The youoc ladies that I saw last uight will compare well with the same number picked up at random anywhere. They are not what you coll del icate, aud for their own good it is well that they are not. On the contrary. btoutDesa ia the ru, and too rnu-h delicacy the except tion. Their faces are fair, but without sur face indications of chalk ; their cheeks are painted, but it is with the rose tinti pf na turt; their hands plump and pretty, but not xquisitely white and small, like the city belle, "who toils not. neither does t.be spin," for the Mormon girls toil and spin both, aud help their several mothers to do their wash- iog and cooking. .

And' not least important of all, they have the freshest, fairest, clearest, most healthy complexions I ever saw in the satua number. There is nothing of that muddy, yellow, bilious, unhealthy hue that you see so much of in Eastern cities aud towns, in dicating that a half dozen diseases aie feed ing upon the vitals. A clear, fresh skin is not an invariable judication of health, but it is t-o near so that an occasional exception euly proves the general rule. Kissed by Mistake, The Luiiavilla Courier Journal cf the 1 1th iDstaut has the following : "An incident occurred last night on Jef ferson street which was quite interesting, at least to one person concerned in it. Onr young and hai dsoma deputy clerk of the council.

The bashful young n.au "felt all over iD streaks" for a moment, hut recover ed himself when the yonng lady drew back, blushing and trembling, and timidly hiding her face with bar bands, legged to be ex cused for mistaking him for an uncle. Jut thitik of that ! An untie, indeed ! Hut. notwithstanding the insinuation, ihe young deputy ftilt under so many obligations t the lady fur her mistake that he accepted the apology and gallantly offered to excti-e her it she would repeat the outrage. She could Dot see "the necessity of that, however, and he sauntered homeward to dream of soft armed and rosy-lipped angels and their ancle. Going West" and Givino it Up The Baltimore American . makes this state ir.eut: Those who have a hankering after the cheap lands of the far West should give attention to a fact repotted by a gentleman who savs he has len ic the United Statea Land Office for five years, tnat about ooe balf the homestead entries made are abao- doticd and the land entered by others; in many cases, the entry is abandoned three or four times before comiDg iuto the possession of persons who hold it permanently. Proof of six mouths' abandonment is sufficient to have the entry canceled.
