THE CONSTITUTIONAL STANDARD MONET.
Our is a Government of law, and
jurilico and equity aro tho leading at
tributes of our laws. Tho Constitu
tion, to which tho Democracy has over
bowed with reverence, has fixed gold
and Kilter hh tlio stundard money of
tho I'nion, tiiiJ it is in accordwith tho
ut cetitcu tueory Ol luocivnizcuuovuris-
mints of tho world. Prom that stan
dard llieru can bo no departuro with
out violence to law and destruction to
public fuith and public and privato
prosperity ; but the standard money is
not now, never has boon and never
will bo tho t hief circulating medium
of a country bo varied in its pursuits
as is ours. J'uper currency is indis
pensable in nil countries, and moro in
dispensable nero man in any oinor
Nation, because ol tho greater individ
ual energy and thrift of ourpeoplo. In
no other nationality do tho pooplo
so generally possess and so freely
use uionev in their ordinary ways of
life us in tha I piled Stales, and in no
other nationality is wealth so widely
dillused and so ikklo in its smiles us
here, wliero intelligence is limited to
no clues, and honor and fortune aro
open lo all. A lurger volumo of money
in proportion to population is tliorelore
needed more in this country than any
other, and it should bo limited solely
by tho wants ot legitimate business,
uud not by tho arbitrary decroe of a
President or a secretary ol tho J reas
ury, or by tho ebbs and flows of politi
cal tides in Congress. All such regu
lations of thu volumo of currency stamp
uncertainty upon our financial policy
and parulyzo industry by ceaseless dis
trust. Wo have soon a President arbi
trarily and lawlessly direct tho issue
of millions of currency when a finan
cial panic threatened tho defeat ot the
luiriy that happened to rule at the
tinio ; and when ono Executive can do
so without accountability, what may
not a In lure President or minister of
tho Treasury do to promoto or hinder
thoprosperilyol thoution ascnpiuity
or umbilion may dictate ?
.MONEY TO HE tol AL IN VALl'E TO COIN.
In my judgment there is but one
sound rule by which to regulate the
currency ot tho country, it is to main
tain it as equal in valuo wilb gold and
silver, tho Constitutional standard ot
money ; to maintain tho simplest and
cheapest channels through which it
can reach legitimate trade, and limit
it solely by the logilimato uemanus ol
I ho business interests ol tho country,
irredeemable paper is a ho upon its
face, lor all money contains on its face
the promise to pay, and it is as poison
lo healthy industry ; hut redeemable
currency, muintaineti at equal valuo
with the Constitutional stanilura ol tlio
Nation, should be accessible in such
volumo as tho varying wants of trade
require. I ho volumo ot currency
should bo beyond tlio control of gam
blers and speculators, such as have tie-
pressed all values in a day by locking up
money, and beyond the power of parti
san olhcials to employ it as a luctor in
political campaigns, tit tho cost of the
stability and trust ol business.
lllllhllEEMAIII.E PAPER AT TIMES A NE
CESSITY. There are times in tho history of all
Nations which sorely try tho people
and severely test iho fixed laws of pub
lic sutcty, und such calamitous titles are
readily seized upon by tho rocklessand
corrupt to inaugurate a roign of licenso
in place ol tho reign ot law ; but, how
ever exhaustively the extreme powers
ol Governments must bo employed to
preserve government as tho foundation
of order and prosperity, tho sanctity
of orduined authority cannot ho sur
rendered without teaching universal
contempt of law. Tho suspension of
specie payments has become a supremo
necessity at ono period or another in
(he history of every Nation, but tho
laws and tho people have adjusted
themselves to it until tho restoration
of prosperous industry and heultby
trade restored resumption just as a
body prostrated by disease is restored
by puliettlly aiding naluro to effect a
cure. England suspended spocio pay
ments lor nearly a quarter of a century
to recover from tho exhaustion of her
witr for tho overthrow ot Napohwn.
Thoro woro Hecrotary Shermans in
those days, also, who believed that
they con Itl, by a Resumption law, hasten
and enferco resumption ; but they had
to recede from their own folly, repeal
their own statutes, and finally, when
ihey did onforco resumption but a little
in advance of its attainment by tho
natural laws of trade, they gave Eng
land her bitterest cup of liiisfortuuo.
There, as here, resumption was embar
rassed and delayed by tho efforts of
am bilious leaders to win tho laurels ot
specie payments, and there, as hero, tho
incicasod distress of the people was
tho result. We have, in obedience lo
supremo necessity, suspended specie
payments and accented irredeemable
paper for sixteen years as tho prico of
savingtho Unlonlrom uismcmnormoni.
In tho nieaiilimo llio legal tender cur
rency of tho Government bos boon
olllrmcd by tho highest judicial tribunal
ot tho Kepublie, and to Its interpctro
lation of tlio law all must bow. Tho
necessities of war gave us the National
greenback currency ; It now commands
tho unnuaiiilea lavoroi 1110 ncoiuo ana
its validity is no longer within the
bounds of disputo. It is confoswdly
tho test currency Iho Nation and tho
states liavo ever ban, aim it is now
one of the ineffaceable features of our
financial system.
EVILS or ENFORCED RESUMPTION AND
CONTRACTION.
When war ceased, leaving ns with ft
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1878.
lartro volume of irrodcomahle currency
among the people, it bocamo the duly
of tho Government to do as England
did bring about rosninption by tho
nulurul luws of trade, and await its
coming in such manner as would bring
no needless shock to nusincss or uis
tiirbanco in tho channels of industry.
With tbo houdnloss resources of the
country, with tho exceptional cnorgy
of our pooplo, with the most fruitful
crops from year lo year, with ovory
element noeessary to bring about re
sumption without sorious depression
of businoss, wo havo had tho most
sweeping enibarrassment and bank
ruptcy as the logical fruits of financial
tinkers ana political DroKors wno spec
ulated on the woes of tho people. En
forced contraction of the currency and
enforced resumption have made broken
fortunes, widespread idleness in place
of requited labor, terrible want in the
midst ot plenty and given tho country
tho disorder that is tho growth of de
spair. Thcso evils, which now afllict
tho Nation moro profoundly than oven
war itself, are not tbo offspring of
necessity. If they were tho legitimato
prico of the preservation ot our free
institutions they could bo endured ;
but they are tho causeless sorrows
which come troin abused authority and
from the most profligate admiuistrai ion
of municipal, Slate and Nalionu! gov.
eminent tho country has ever wit
nessed. To enforce the contraction of
tho currency was needless. It sorvod
no good purpoBO ; mado tho iSauonal
faith no better, gave no moro healthy
impotus lo trade. To enforco resump
tion in advance of itB natural coming
through revived industry and general
prosperity, was madness worse, it wos
suicidal. In city, villugo and valo ; in
all sections, all classes and all pursuits,
the tear! ill monuments ol this .National
suicide aro visible to all. Dure in tho
mountains it is felt as keenly as in tho
marts ol commerce, and wherovcr tho
hum of industry should bo heard, and
wherovor tho sales ot commerco should
bo spread, thoro may bo seen tho calm
of death that has settled on our once
prosperous pooplo. And who must
answer for this suffering and prostra
tion ol a great .nation I Jtepublican
misrule is unquestionably its puthor,
and Democratic Constitutions! r"' is
tho only means for its correction.
REl'l'BLlCAN FINANCIAL POLICf A FAIL
UREINCREASED DEBT AND BANKRUPTCY.
Tho Republican financial policy holds
the word of promise lo tho car only to
break it to tho hope. Wo aro told that
money is abundant, no it is wliero
it is not needed. Wo aro told that
banking is free to all. So it is to
thoso whoaro willing to lose by banking.
Jlonoy is a drug in tho great money
centres. Millions can lliero be bor
rowed lit low interest on Government
bonds tho securities hold only by
thoso who have no need to borrow ;
but your farms, your Btocks of goods,
your forests of boundless woalth, your
individual onorgy and integrity, none
of these aro foundations of credit, and
you can borrow only from tho usurer
and your values are steadily shrinking
because ol the universal distrust tbat
prevails in all channels of enterprise.
We aro told that contraction has not
been the policy of the present Admin
istration. The statement is false. It
is not only false as to the record, but
.1 a i. it.. ii...
mo suvoiu i uoou.iur.iij .in, an 10 i -
presented to the public. On the 1st ol
January, 1875, the paper currency of
tho country was iz,5lJl,lliS ; on tbe
1st of June, 1878, it was ofilciully giv
en at f U87,3!)0,007 a contraelion f
(0&,li01,0C8 I but tho contraction that
is now in progress is not visible in tho
official statements of tho Treasury.
Secretary Sherman ib determined to
resume spocio payments, whether the
country is ready for it or not. Tho
debtor must pay whether ho is solvent
or insolvent, and tho resumption policy
of tho Republican party is the great
source of idleness and prostration which
prevail in business circles today.
While we are reguled wilh Treasury
bulletins, telling of tho refunding ot the
debt and of thu strong condition of tho
Treasury, it is not told tbat Mr. Hayes
and Socretary Sherman have increased
tho funded debt 12O,972,70 sinco they
cumo into power, and the annual inter
est paid today, notwithstanding the
reduced bonds issued, exhibits an an
nual increase of (1,6 10, 918, over the
annual interest paid when tho present
Republican Adinitiistiation aimed it
self with frutid and forced its way into
power in defiance of the solemn verdict
of tho Nation. These are the figures
from tho record, and I challenge con
tradiction. President Hayes lotind tho
ht $l,C!l7,W7,B.'i(l when hocamo into
cilice j to-day it is 11,818,670,5(10. I do
not chargo tbat this money has bocn
profligately wasted and that tho in
creased debt exhibits the excess of Gov
ernment expenditures ovor receipts ;
but 1 do cbargo that tho dent bos been
needlessly increased : that tho money
rccoived tor tbo now bonds and appli
cable to tho redemption ot tho old
bonds, is locked up in tin Treasury,
withdrawn from the channels of busi
noss, to enable Secretary Sherman to
enforce resumption in January next,
regardless ot the bankruptcy ho gives
to tho producing classes or tbe cost to
tho tax payers. It is simply multiply
ing tho intolerable sufferings of tho
poople to onablo a political trimmer to
win the empty bauble of resumption
by a torccd policy that deals destruc
tion on every side. When resumption
can como as tho gift of a prosperous
people by natural laws and the logic
of requited industry, it can come ns a
-National blessing; but until it can
como, they who attempt to en
force it must bo hopeless incompe
tents or tho doliborato authors of wan
ton distress and ruin to tho country.
UNIFORM CURRENCY FREE AND STAND
ARD BANKING A NECESSITY.
1 rctruril tho remodios lor thoso lonc-
conlinuod Republican wrongs as simple
and certain. We must find some means
to revive our Industrie, and restoro
goneral prosperity to tho country, and
then resumption will come Itsull and
como to stay. Until thon, it cannot
como but with Ircsh evils in its train.
No law can furco it unless Mr. Slier-
man's fatal policy ho sustained, by
which tho Treasury can gather in all
tho monoy by increased loans, and then
keep it in the Treasury vaults, so that
no further redemption shall bo neces
sary. Tho Government can thus ro
sntno and the industries of the Nation
.wish as tho prie. ol resumption,
Hanking must bo made free in fact a
it Is now only In name. Our present
National banking system oilers an

A man is said to bo "rod" or "white'
with rugo. In using thoso expressions
wo are physologically speaking of tho
nervous condition ot tho minute circti
lation of the man's blood. ' Red" rugo
means partial paralysis of minute
blood-vessels ; and "whito" rugo means
temporary suspension ot tho action ol
the circulation itself. Hut such dis
turbances cannot bo produced without
tho occurrence of permanent organic
evils of tho vilul organs, especially of
tho heart and brain. Ono striking ex
ample is given by Dr. Richardson, in
the caso ol a mourner ot bis own pro
fession. '-This gentleman told mo but
an original Irritability of temper was
permitted, by want of due control, to
pass into a disposition of almost per
sistent or chronic anger, so tint every
triflo in his way was a cause of unwar
rantable irritation. EMimoumoa Ins
anger was so vehomont that all about
him woro alarmed lor him even more
than for themselves-, and when tho
attack was ovor there were hours of
sorrow and regret in private which
were not as exhausting as the jirovious
raife. In the midst of ono ot these
outbreaks of short, severe madness ho
suddenly felt, to uso his own expres
sion, as it his "heart woro lost." 11a
reeled under the imptossion, was nau
seated und faint; then recovering, he
put his hand to his wrist and discover
ed an intermittent action ot his heart
as tho cause, of his I'aititness. Ho never
completely rallied from that shock,
and to tho day ot death, ten years
later, ho was never free from inter
miltcncy. "1 am broken -hearted," ho
would say. "physically nrokcn-iicart-
ed." And so ho was ; but tbo knowl
edge of tho broken heart tempered
niurvclously his passion and saved him
many years of really iisoful life, llo
died ultimately from an acnto forbilo

GOLDSMITH MAW.
HOW SHE WAS FOUND TO BE FAST.
John II. Decker, Esq., a brother-in-
law ol ex-Judge Williuin Fullerton,
died at his residence noar Denton, Or
ange county, N. Y., a few days ago.
He was tho man who luund running
will in a pasture lot in Now Jersey
and first brought to tho nolico of horse
men tho maro that has since astonish
ed the world as Goldsmith Maid. A
short time belore his last illness Mr.
Docker told the story of tho beginning
of this wonderful mare's caroor.
In 1804 'Tom' Dingham and my
self," Mr. Decker said, "went into a
little speculation buying up turkeys
and cutllo through ihis Bcclion. We
both lived in JSowburgh ut that time.
In November of that year wo drove
over into Sussex county, and slopped
at John 1). Decker's near Docker town.
'Johnny D.' as lio wus culled, was my
undo. Ho had a mure that ovory one
in tho whole country know about, for
she was tho wildest aud wickedest picco
of horse flesh that ever lived. This
maro wus in tho pusttiro lot wilh tho
other horses tho day wo went thero,
and us 1 knew the stock she came from,
I wanted to havo a look at her; but
wo couldn't get within gunshot of her.
Her Biro was the hdsall llanililetonian.
Wo stayed all night at Undo Johnny's.
Somehow or other I took a great fan
cy to that wild maro, and i otfered
flfiO lor her; but tho old gentleman
did not want to sell her.
Oh, what's the uso of keeping that
maro? said his wife. 'Lot him havo
her. Offer him $10 more,' says she to
mo, 'and he'll take it.' " "
So I counted out 8 1 GO und gavo it
lo my aunt. 1 nclo John hesitated, but
soon suid :
" 'All right. You may havo her.
Rut you must catch her first !" and tho
old man laughed, ns if ho hud mo in a
tight tix.
"1 called two or three of his men to
gether, and wo went out and drove iho
horses all in tbo barnyard. Iho maro
went in the barn ami wo shut her in.
Then wo got her in a stall, and altera
long while wo managed to get a halter
on her. Sho hadn't looked through a
collar in lour vears. Sho was sevon
voars old ut tho timo. When Undo
John saw that wo had her ho was sick
of his bargain, and he wanted to back
out. Hut wo tiod ber behind our wag
on aud drovo away. Undo John hud
a mare, a sister ot this ono, that ho val
ued at fJOOO. He said ho would give
mo tho mare instead ; but 1 didn't
want ber. Gen. Kilpatrick bought that
ono afterward and took her to t hill
with hiin ; but I never heard that sho
amounted to anything. Ou our way
in from Uncle John's to my father's
houso, in tho place where I livo now,
wo brought over a ton ol turkeys. I
tried tho speed of tba maro now und
then by running my horses as fast as
they could go, but sbo could trot faster
than they ran, ovory timo. i never
saw such a movement for a green
horso, and know she would make a
good one.
"Well, wo got to father's nnd put up
forthemcht. .Next morning lorn King
ham counted out 1130 and offered it lo
mo, and said bo wanted to go into part
nership with mo in tho marc. Rut I
told him I wanted the mare for my
brother-in law, Judge. Fullerton. Whilo
wo woro getting roady to start, alter
breaklast, who should drive up but
Hill Tompkins, or Jersey Dill, as ho was
known, and is yet. llo Kept a Hotel at
Hampton, two or throo miles away.
He'd heard that I had bought Johnny
li.'s maro, nnd bo came over to look at
her. Tho hired man had tho male out
of tho burn, and was showing her gait
up and down tho lane, l ather and
mother were both looking at her,
Mother was vory much putout hecauso
1 bad bought a horso that was a trot
ter, and lallier didn't liko it, cither.
Jorsey Dill fell In lovo with tho maro
right oil.
John,' said ho, 'l ll give .inti lor
her.'
1 said no. Father und mother were
both very noxious that 1 should luko
the money, bm I wanted tho maro.
" 'Throe hundred and hlty, said Jim.
"But I ditln't want tho money, and
started to tlrivo away.
I ll give you threo hundred and
sixty dollars lor tho marc, said Jorsey.
l ather wanted mo to take the mon
ey, und mother said sno was sure i
would go to tho bad if I kept a trotting
horse, anil bo by nnd by 1 got out ol
palieuco, and told Dill to hand mo over
his money and lake tho mare, lie
drew a check on tho Wullkill hank at
Middlelown for the amount. 1 didn't
want to take the check.
" 'Let me seo it,' my father said.
"I banded him tho check, llo wroto
his name across tho back of it.
" 'There,' bo says, '1 guess that'll go
now.'
"Of course that put tho matter out
of question. 1 took the chock, and
Jersey Hill drove oil' to Hampton with
tho maro. Uinglmm and 1 went on to
Goshen, and a sicker man you never
saw than I was over tho sale ot the
maro. Something seemed to tell mil
Unit sho had stuff in her ihnt was more
than gootl. After I got lo Goshen I
was so throughly disgusted with my
self for purling wilh ber that I mado
up my mind lo get her back if possible.
I pul my team in tho barn at Goshen.
William M. Graham,' altorward State
Senator, wus President of tho Wullkill
Honk. I went tioight to the lele
gruph ofllco and asked him by wiro :
" 'Is Jersey Dill's check gootl in your
bunk for CluO 7'
"Tho answer came back :
" 'It is good for OllOO.'
'So 1 went back lo the hotel, and
told Dingham what I had done, and
that I was golrgstraight lo Hampton,
and tnko that maro out of Jersey's
barn. Dingham was a lawyer, and he
told mo 1 might get my fingers burnt
by such a proceeding. Whilo wo wero
discussing tho matter; along Came
another dispatch Irom Graham;
'"Jersey Hill has mado his cheek
good.'
"That settled tho wltnlo business, and
that is how 1 lost Goldsmith Maid.
"The noxt spring I met Alden Gold
smith, tho Hlooming Grove horso breed
er, on nn Erlo ruilrood train.
" 'Alden,' I says, 'give mo a hundred,
and I'll tell yon where to got tho best
pieco of horseflesh that stands on legs
in America.'
"Ho said he'd do it if the animal
seemed a good nno. 1 told him whero
sho was. lie went to see her, but af
terwards told mo shu was no good.
" 'All right' I soys, 'but I know her
pedigree, and I tell you she's tho best
in the market. Ask Major Ivlsnll.'
"Alden went lo Mujor Kdsall, in Go.
lien, and found that I know what 1
was talking about. Thon he struck up
a bargain and gave Jersey Rill tllOO
for tho mare, and threw in an old wag
on. Goldsmith got Dill Ilodino who
has the track at Middlctown, to handle
Iho maro. I don't think any one else
would have had the fhith in the ani
B
mal, and the patienco to try nnd make
anything out of hor. Hill liodino says
that Goldsmith would have parted wilh
hor at any timo for a month or two af
ter ho got her. It took four men to
hitch her up when they first commen
ced at her, and sho enrno near killing
Dill oneo or twice But he conquered
her, and then everybody begun to see
thero was BtulT in her. Instead of tho
$100 Alden promised to givo me, ho
offered mo a Volunteer coit. I ditln't
think much of Volunteer stock then,
and wouldn't tuko it. I told Goldsmith
1 would call it sqnaro if ho d let mo
numo tho maro. I wanted to call hor
Ella D.,-nrtor my wife. But Alden
wanted his namo to her, and ho called
hor Goldsmith Maid, and that's tho way
tho mattor Btands to day.
'While Bill liodino wan handling tho
maro he met Ed. llrown, of Port Jor
vis, now ono of tho Under Sheriffs of
this county. Brown hod a moro that
ho thought was a good ono, and he and
Dill nintlo a match for $500 to trot
Lady Drown, as bIio was called, against
Goldsmith's maro. That was the first
raco tho Maid wob ovcrontered for. It
was to como off in Middlctown, and tho
forfeit was 850. BiitGoldsmilh wouldn't
recognize Hodine's action in tho mat
ter, and entorcd his maro in a raco at
Goshen on tho samo day tho nico was
to como off in Middlctown. Hill had
to pay his $50 forfeit. Tho raco in
Goshen was with tho Now York flyer
for those days, General Walker. Tho
Muid bent him easy, and that was her
first public raco. 1 don't know wheth
er tho prico that Goldsmith got for tho
muro when ho sold her was ever mado
public or not, but ho told mo that ho
got $20,000 for hor, nnd that was cheap
enough. I luko considerable pride in
tho fact, Mr. Decker concluded, "that
I brought tho brilliant littlo maro out
into notice, although 1 feel that I let a
fortune slip away from mo when I no
cepted Jersey Bill's check."
John 11. Decker was the son of Rich
ard Deckor, President ot the Orange
County Milk Association. His death
wos tho result of a distressing and sin
gular accident. Early lust spring be

Tho theory was tbut his clothing was

IMPRUDENT PRUDENCE. ,
Tho man who turns a penny over
onto is prudent; ho who turns it over
twice is parsimonious, while ho who
turns it over three limes is miserly to
meanness. Thero is no justification of
an economy that entails privation.
Tbo individual who possesses tho melius
to gratify tho reasonable desires of his
noturo, and refuses to do bo, preferring
lo half now that ho may tho moro
fully provide for a future of which he
is uncertain, literally rons rotor to pay
Paul lets go of tho uctual substance
of life to grasp at tho shadow.
Pinching parsimony, of tho kind that
leads one to prefer a dollar in bis pocket
lo a dinner in Ins stomach when tho
craving fof food is positive, is tne ex-
trenio ot foolishness. 1 no career ol
tho profligate may bo sail to contem
plate, it has this palliative fcaturo ; In
ruining himself ho is, in a measure,
benefitting otbors; while the penuri
ous man subjects not only himself lo
extreme ami unnecessary privations,
hut ull of whom chance may placo
within tho reach of his usurious pow
er. Thoso who think the Cream of
every day life is too precious for pres
ent uso, and who therefore storo it all
up, flattorinir themselves that it will
retain its sweetness until Iho fulling of
the sear und yellow leaf, and that Ihey
can then requito themselves for their
long course of niggardly providenco hy
indulging in an extended farewell rcvol,
usually find their "good things" sour
ed, or the faculty for enjoyment gone,
and drop olfinlo llioir grat es williont
ever having had tho first realizing
tusto of existence. GenenVusly use,
without abusing, Iho bounties of Na
luro as life pusses, and when tha und
comes satisfaction will gently drop the
curtain..
What is Hallucination ? Hy hal
lucination is mount, in scientific phras

when ho sees, hears, or othcrw iso per

subjective. Jl'ho subject is txno which

MEHEMETALl DEAD.
PEATtl BY Act ALUA.NMM asuu.
Mohenict Ali bus lived the life and
has como uloso to dying the death of a
veritable hero of mediii'val romance.
By birth ho was a Prusian, hy descent
a Frenchman, by adoption having "
foresworn tho cross and worshiped Mu
hound he was a Turk. Julius De
troy was the son of a staff trumpoter
of the Nicholas Regiment of Cuirras
sie.i'B of Brandenburg. Concerning
kis mother, history is ailent ; nor does
history say whether howas born while
tho famous corps at tho head of which
hi fulbor trumpeted was in tho field,
in camp, or in barracks in somo quaint
old Gorman town. For tho suko of
Madame Detroy's oomfort, let us boe
tho.luht, and history favors tho possi
bility since it was in tho hemispherical '
city of .Mudobu rg that Julius Detroy
Hint dawned upon pnblio as" a man,
lli.it ia to say as a boy of affaires ; in
other words, be was bound apprentice
to bo made a merchant. Bondago in
tho chains of comraorco was not at all
to his liking, and by way of giving
himself a fresh stnrt in life helneon
tincntly ran away. Ho ran to Ros
tock, and thore bo shipped aboard a
Mocklenbnrg brig as ft cabin boy. The
brig worked its way out of tho Baltic,
swung through the Cattogatand Ska-,
gor Hack into tho North Soa, down by
tho British Channel, across tho Buy
of Biscay lo the Straits, and so along
the Mediterranean, tlie .Egesn and tho
Sea of Marmora to tho Golden Horn.
Octroy found littlo to admiro, much to
condemn in practical seamanship, and
scarcely had tho cablo rnn out when
he plumped overboard and atnick out
for shore. A passing caiquo picked
him np ; and tho owner of this caique
was Ali Pasha, then a rising man at
tho Porto and destined to occupy for
many years a controlling influence In
its liffuiia-Jl'liU-Lji tune of Detroy was .
uiude. Ali Pasha took a great funcy
to him, and when, a year later, "on
conviction," ho declared lhat "thero
was but one God nnd Mahomet was
his Prophet," tho vonorablc Pasha
wept tears of joy and adopted him as
his son. Detrtiy ceased to b Detroy
and becamo Muhomot Ali ; was sent
to a military school ; was graduated
with distinction, and in 1853 received
his commission, llo went campaign
ing against tbo Russians : served with
great credit on Omar Pasha's staff;
lought against tho Montenegrins and
in Arabia; waB made a Colonel in 1803
and a Goneral with tho rank of Pasha
in 1HR5. As a general oflicor ho Bcrv.
ed ligultisr Tho Montenegrins and 1n
Crete, and in 1873 was mado eominan-der-in-cbiel
in TheBsaly. ilore ho put
down instruction with a strong arm
and from anarchy brought enforced
peace In I87D he assumed command
t lovia-liuzar,apostol great strategic
importnnco, and for somo time was en
gaged in operations agaiiiBt the insur
gent Serbians. Whilo holding this
post Russia declared war. Ho was
sent at once at tho bead of an army
corps against tho Montenegrins, and it
was not until tho KussianB lairly wero
ucioeis tho Danube that ho w given
nn opportunity to get at them. After
iho pussogo ol tho rivor ho was ap
pointed to succeed tho incompetent
Abdul Kerim although no control
was given him over Suleiman in tho
West and Osman at Plevna and ho
engaged in a scries ot inconclusive bat-
lleB with tho army ol the Lzarewitch.
An ugly jealousy between .him and
StileimuD tended to lesson the effect
iveness of tho Turkish forces, and to
this jealousy in part may bo attributed
the carrying hy tho Russians of Schip
ka Pass. Mohemct Ali did not win an
important battle during tha war, and
his last attempt to carry out an im
portant movement the relief of Plev
na was a Out tuilure. lint be suc

as the second representative of Tur
key. And now bo has mado bis last
appearance before the world, and his
light has bocn snuffed out never to be
relighted on earth. According to a
Router's dispatch from Constantinople
ho was sent down somo days since "to
pacify Albania." His mission was not
a success. At Yacona ho was mobbed.
Says tho dispatch, curtly : "Ho fled

CnARACTEn. The difference of char-
actor are nevor moro distinctly seon
than in times when men are surround
ed hydlfflciilticsandmiBfortuno. There
aro some who when disappointed by
tho failure of an undertaking, lrom
which they had expected groat things,
makeup their mind at once to exert
themselves no longer against what
they cnll fato, as if thereby they could
avenge themselves upon fate; others
grow desponding and hopeless ; but a
third class of men will rouse them
selves just at such moments and say lo
themselves, "tbo moro difficult ll is lo
attain my ends, tho moro honorable it
will be ;" and this is. ft maxim which
everyono Bhould impress upon himself
as a law. Somo of those who are guid
ed by it prosecute their plftn with ob
stinacy, and so perish; others, who
aro more practicable men, if Ihey have
failed in ono way, will try another.
