TIE FUNNY SIDE. HUMONS OF THE CANPAION, Prom Our Own Correspancent, Lonvon, July 0.—The cruel routino of war ls not infrequently enlivenat by fucttents of a lighter character that aro no less intercating, Dovause of thelr Telative-uniinportance. We cannot all havo the inwuciance of the politician, who, when the victin of mob-law declined to make a dying conféssion, mounted the tempo- rary platfurm under the tree and proceeded to deliver a speecn upon the fasues of the dav; yet everybody can cujoy those touches of nature that are now and then revealed in canp-life and thot cannot covape the observation of any Aterican correspondent, Herel England we are uot highly favored fu this respect as yet, nor are we likely to be so long as the newspapers maintain that dignity is fucompatibly with hum r. The letters from the seat of war to the London papers have been, with one or two exceptions, verbose aud labored cnouch to have sulted exactly the temperament of tho late Jawented Gradgrind, Once in a while, however, tho weakness of human nature is exposed, when ‘correepontcut Is Vetrayed into narrating some circumstauco whieh, whether Iutentional or not on his part, stnkes the reader as IRNESISTIULY FUNNY. Thave bad occasfon tu refer more than once in tay cablegrains to the discrepancies between the Turkish aud Russlan oficial reports of battles {0 Asia and movements along the Danube, At * first the newspaper readers were*groatly at a loss to decide which of the two to believe, but subsequent cyents showed that tue former were lesa reliable. As an astronower takes different obuervations to determine the course and posl- Bon of aheavenly body, so tho discriminating teader has been obliged tu compare und unal: lyze the course of telegraphic advices {n onler to ar- Hive ataright undecstanding. It nay pow bo soured eafcly that, whereas the Musslans Sup!y eupprees bad uews, alluwiuz only such Obeeations as bave resulted favurably to be Published, the Turks calmly aud nonchalantly ry etory and unseripa ikai.e on paper when- er ove is alain on the batt!e-ticld. To show how this habit of deliberate folalfieas thon will sometimes lead to detection, I have only to allude to the official bulletin of the Reraskinte on the passage of the Danube at Ipralla, In the first paragraph the Government took great credit for allowing the Russians to pass wnopposed In accortlance with the true principles of war, while in the second part of the notice ft waa declared that great slaughter had been infected upon the invaders. The Ambassadors {n Constantinople, no less than the newspaper correspondents, have beon brought under the tnscruputous GOVERNMENT CRNSOUSTIP, Linformet you some time ago that military attaches with the Turkish army wero not per- mitted to correspond with Ambassadors {n cipher, and were thus placed on the same foot- ing with the press, thelr dispatches being, of course,. nunpressed If ¢ontaining unfavorable news of cominents. But I have yet to relate how onc of these gentlemen managed to convey to Mr. Layard, her Majcsty's representative at Constantinople, a report of the,battle of Alashguerad, which ended in tho total rout of the right wing of Moukhtar's arny. . Mr. Layard was one day surprised to re- celye a dispatch from the attache directing him to read the cleventh verae of the eleventh chap- ter of tho First Kook of Samuel, It bappened that, although there ters copies of the Church Service" in the Embassy, there was . NOT A SINGLE DIDLB. Fora timo all wos confuston. All tha Secte- taries of the Legation were employed Inhunting through tle services for the passage quoted. Finally a Bible was procured from the house of alssfonary, and the following was found to be the text sought: And tt was so on the morrow that San} pnt the people in three cumpantes, and they came Into the inidat of the host in the mourning watch, a: tow the Ammonites until the heat of the day; and It came to pias that they which remained were rcat- tered no iat two of dem were not left togethor. ‘This very accurately described tho maln fcat- ures of the battle, but, as it is to be fearcd that Metory will not always repeat itself so closely, some other method will hava to be discovered of transmitting news. The text in question is salLto havo been suggcated by a devout and evangelical Scotch Lieutenant who acts as aide- de+amp to Ucn, Arthur Kemball, the attache, There seems to be as great a contest among the fuir sex of Constantinople on the question of yashmaks and ferajecs us there is among the Aterican ladies regarding rountl strives or lone stripes on their stockings. Tn the Orient, how- over, this kind of business fs sottled MUCH MORE CONVENIENTLY and quickly than could possibly be tho caso in the land of freedom. Whether the tremendous question of yashmaks actually caine before the Gerasklate or before tho Imperial Chainbers I jinve not yet been able tu learn. At any rate, edict was issued last week formally prohibiting: the usec of theso yashmeis, fashtonably-cut ferajecs and Ligh-heeled French boots. It was cruel, but the Government felt that It must he" done, The Emplre must never be subverted by gauzy yoshmake and high-heeled boots. Tho Russians might be allowed to take Sistova, and storm Rustchuk, and walk over the Schipka Pass, but the laws of ctlquctte and female at- tire must bo preserved, Wut the ladles of Con- stantinople, it Is whispered about, havo really something lke a will of their own, and already the pollee have experlenced great diMculty in enfpreing this moderate and necessary edict, ‘The Zaptichs were Instructed to BTU!
