Jils tastes were too anverc, his eentiments toa fastidious, to Indulge In imagery. There was nothing §n his genlus so fortultous or nuncer- tain as to be i by the plamour of eplendid innovations which shesd their light 1lke an sct of pnsle ncruss . the pleturesque landscape of his philosubhy. 8uch was Corter when he at-.od within the prectncts of his profession, Like the prophet in the wilderncas, he wor- shiped only that living and authentie fire which ffls the Lieart with™ awe and tha mind with fnspiratlon.

According to the Informant of the New York Fvening Post, Dr. Henry Schllemann, now so celebrated a8 an archmologist, was born of hum- ble parentage In Mecklenburg, Germany, Ilis lifescens to have been full of adveatura and marked by a determination to succeed, At the early age of 16 he embarked on avoyage to Venczucla with a vlew to try his fortune, but suffered shipwreck on the Datch coast. Reach- ing Amsterdam, ho sct to work as a porter. Here hie met the narrator, and together they studied Spanish and Italian. The two were very poor, aml for “one whole year neveraten dinner. While at this quaint old Dutch clty it Was youni lemunn’s good fortune to ncel a veteran Russian soldier who had been left there when the allled armies marched on Parls to overtirow Napoleon Bonaparte, With a thirst for knowledee, Schlfemann fostered an fntimacy with the Russiun,—who, by the way, was a hoot- black,—~a Ruarisn graninar was boughit and les- sons Ju the Muscovite Junguage commenced. The study of Russian seems to have breen the turning-point in his fortune, for it soon after- ward happened that a Russlan gentleman, by the name of Alexjefl, brought letter ol ciedit to the lunker 8chrucder, youny Schifemann's employer, Nonecould understand biin save the yount ¢! t this time he had been pro- moted, ) Centlemun took & fancy to the fresh-faced, dark-halred, ingenuous lad, and arranged to have Lim accomnpany hlinsclf and famnily over }‘.um(m in the capacity of courier. Schlleinann finally went to Moscow, by nvita- tion of his patron, snd, arransing to act as agent for chiroeder, the Amsterdam banker, at the end of four years found hiraself the master of $iK4,000, At theclose of 1551 8-hllemann determined to visit California, and embarked on the steutier Atlantic fur this clty. After a tempestuous voyuge of six weeka Jie reached New York, bring- gz with lim adraft from the Rotischikls on Angust Belinont for the amount of money he nade in Mo4ow, Reachiog the El Dorado of the world, as Callfornia was then called, he settledat Saczamento vl commenced the bank- Inez business, The miners took to Wim in- atinetively, und trustiogly browzht Lz their olildust.’ At the expiration of foar yeurs he returned to New York, the possegsor 0f 8§40, &0 and a shattered eonstitution, In 1357 we find him cstublished in- business o St. Peters- burie, Girowine tired of that ¢ity, lie made a voyaze round the world, and eventuatly reached New York stricken with Punama fever. Ifere the subseijuent dicoverer of the tomb of Aga- me noon came near dyme, but eventually fe- covernd under the trostinent of Dr, Tellampt, Teaving N ork, he set vut on ihusdng yisit to the Bey of Tunls. Having areotnplisied Iifs purpose, e went to Carthize, and after- wurds to Parls, where he made the aequaint. ance of Renan and other Orlentalists.

They hnd . stoye fu the wagon, and were moving themselves and a few articles of value tosome other clime.

HOW ABDUL AZIZ DIED, The fdva that Abdul Aziz was murdered after his deposition s dispelled by o letter tothe Evangelist, written by the Rev. A, V. Millingen, the pastor of the Unjon Church in Constan- tinople snd the son of Dr. Millingon, who for forty years has been one of the physlcians at- tendant upon tho Bultans. Following the Sun- day morniug on which the overthrown monarch s found dead, it was otllclally proclained that ho hod cowmitted sulvide. That he was the taker of his own life 13 now fully confirmed by the information made public through the Rev, Afr. Millinzen, o says that the ‘I'reasurcr of tho Vallle Bulluu:\b the mother of Abdul Azlz, Inforued Dr. Milllngen that shortly alter rislug that morning the ex-Sul- tan hid been visited by bis wother aud by one of his wivesi that sfter rewaining with him some thme they were yequested by blin o with- and left him alons. After soma time the at tendanta returned and found the door locked, and had to foree 1t open, wlien, to thelr horror, un’:(y found Abdul Aziz weltering in his blood, and dead. Upon examination of the room thers wers no alzns that it had been the scene of & Btruggle. The body bore two wounds, one in the Jower part of each arm, The wound on tha Ieft arm was deep, where first the point of the #clssors was plunged Into the arm, and growing shallower aa it cut downward toward the wrist, It was a wound quite sutlicient to_cause death by the loss of bioud, Rut to make assurance doubly sure, the Bultan had tried to stab him- self in the right arm also. This incision was not deep, and its course was & jncged Jine, as thongh made by a hand which conld be used tm- nerfectly, and which was growing weaker from 1oss of Dlomd, Tie wonods were such as conld have been mnade with the sclssors which the Suitan had received from his mother that fatal morning. The wounds were In a position whicn arcorded with the {dea that they had heen fn- fiicted by the person who bore them hims The heard wax all clipped away, as an Oricntal, when overcome with ‘s sente of humillation, is apt to treat his beard. The correspondent of the Evangelist remarks that in view ol the fore- oing circumstances, and an examination of the dy, the phvafcians eame to the unanimous concjusion that the ex-Sultan had ended his days by his own hand. A DEARTII OF OYSTERS, New York Graphie, Jan, 19. Thero has been arise In prices fn the oyater market of about 50 per cent recently, caused by the fnclement winter. This, however, fs Lo un- usual circumstance. The unmerciful storms that have occasloned g0 many disasters on the Atlantic during tho Jast threc months fittingly ended theie fury by freezing up the rivers and hays along ita coast, which entalled additional suilering,—a suffering amongst hundreds of de- pendents upon mill winters, measured only by those conversant with the details of the Im- mense labor of furnishing New York and other larze eftles with the sucenlent hivalves. This auffering extends at 1) nt thne from Cape Cod to Humpton Roade. Thousawls ef oysters men are drifting fn thelr crafts with loating foe, unabie to even hope for s market, and some ot thetnthreatened with starvation as acunsequence of theie lng imprisonment. It fs estimated that in the Chesapeake alone no lees than $0 oveter rehooners, fee-bonnd and afraid to anchor st they be crushied, are drifting abont with the tingfee. A reporter of the Graphic who visited n mafority of the principal oyster marts {h this ¢ty found essentinlly the “same story tuld at all. It was, they said, an oveier famine, but not the only oue sine that which prevafled for ai¢ weeka in 1557, Rlmilar obstructions had been since met with. To Judge now how long the present fumine might continue was beyond thelr power, but from weather Indleations of a breaking up of the [ce embargo that now exists they did not apprehend that the ditlleulty would extend over three weeks hence. It tmight ex- tend to the “thaws” of March, Me<ers, Dor- lon & Bhaifer, the kings of the Faiton Market ade, are of the opinfon that if the pres- athier continyes there will be an fucrease present advance of 50 per cent in vrice, A member of this firm ealdthat ye: stauding In fee fourteen Inchies thi d, with his employes, takinz his oysters h oles cut In it for that purpose. ) throu: THE GRAND DUKFE ALFE The President hias written to the Grand Duke Alexls asklng.
