IHTH, Whoever Osman Bey may be, it cannot bo denled that hie bas written an amusing and In- structive book., Ho seams to have had power- ful protectors among the Pashas,—old H— Pasha ({1afiz Pasha) having been his great friend,~to have been on the Stafl, and to have served n preat deat fn the precinets of tho Bultan's Palace. Bunposing him, therefore, to be a renl personage, which there scems little reason Lo doubt, Osman Bey was In o position to know his subject, and 1o be copabie of writing with authority, found- ed on experlence, on * Women in Turkey." Ile can hardly, Indeed, remember the bad old timea when tho 8lave Bozaar cxisted as a pub- Jicfnstitution at Constantinople, shen Cireas- sl belonged to Turkey, and when the falr maidens of that land were so common ns to ba comparatively cheap, I had a friend, indeed, who uscd to toll bim of the old stato of things, asgort of Turkish Legree,—[adji Abdallah, of Moroceo,— A VENERADLE NUFFIAN, near a century old, whoso latter days seem to have been spent in compelling recalcitrant ladles In the various harems of Stamboul to be better behaved. Blight cascs of this kind he treated on the spot with sticlcand whip; more obstinate offenders bie tovk fn hand at his own house by starvation, and dungcons, and torturc: aud It was generally remarked that when thesc ladies teturned they were singularly obedient. One vleit 1o the old Hadji's houso was enough, for, 08 one of them confessed, she was atrald lost sho ahould have been buried allve,— alittle accident which had often happened in Hadji’s dealings with obstinato Jadics. That was what ho did toward tho ond of his days. ills carlier life had been spent in carrying off daves In every possiblo way, begging, borrow- mg, and steallng them, and thea aclling them In the Blave DBazaar, in which business he had acquired an amplo fortunc. Dut to roturn to Osman Bey; as his experlence of Constantinople docs not carry him back more than tweoty or thirty years, §t fs rather of now Turkey that he writes than of the old. Though lie can remember the wild juatice which even the mild Abdul Medjid dealt out to ono or two of the friskicst Bultanas and their favorites, Lthe davs of the sack and the bow- string were pretty nearly over Ucfore he kuew Turkish life. It'is enlightened Turkey that he describes, and though ho handlcs his native or adopted country with comparative teuderness, {l)u“clm flud 1o enlighitenment for Turkoy unt! 1 TWO OREAT PLAGUE-SPOTS of the Ottoman system—tho degradation of women and the existence of slavery—have been healed. Until these flagrant wrongs have been reincdied, Osman Bey secs uo prospet for the contfouance of the Ottoman Ewnpire, tho exist- ence of which, ho declares, has been only pro- longed by the fealouay of the Ureat Powers which surround it. Wero {t loft to ftself, it would dissolve Into as many fraznonts as thera are nationalitics which profess the Mussulman th, Having thus disposcd of polygamy and alay- ery n principle, Osman Boy, a8 ono who well l_:_nurn all the II‘I :ul czflull ot domellil,(c Illlu la: urkey, proceeds to give s very llvely an smusing description of the Turklah houschold, 63 shown 1 the respectiva relatlons of man and wifo, qwlher ©of aman and his wives. Under the Pu nces of Iszed Bey and Zerah, an imaginary couple, ha shows how a legitimato Turkish " ma c—thnt s, when a young, well-to-do Turk marrics [3 young lady his equal in soclal position—comes, alter ull, to bo very like what tha proverb tells us is the fato of those who are rash_cnough to lmi n plg in 8 poke. When lzzod Bey informs his mother or best femalo fricnd of "his desire to marry, he need trouble himselt no further o the inatter till she comos back and tells him that sho Las fouud in Zoral, » mooo-faced, }\Iump voung lady, tho object of his affections. ¢t may scem absurd, but Osman Boy declares it to bo true, that it 1s part ot tho young Turkish naturo to PALL VIOLENTLY IN LOVR on the spot with this imaginary object, whom Irzed Bey lias never seon, and nover will reaily ses tll tho fatal moment when, fn tho bridal chamber, he 111ts the rose-ued vetl and beholds 1n the object of his affection cither & houri or & Elmul. ory it may be, a nondescript somothing ctween the two. Dut so it is; Izzed Bey fs at oace enamored, worships the tio of his mi tres little finger when poked out of & Iattice, or her _cycs as she whirls by him in o carringe. 8o’ the courtship procecids till ol [s settled betweon the mothers, and a hand. some swin pald down by tho bridegroom. At last the happy day arrives,and all tho world lasten to tho wedding to behold the bride atunding upright, vefled from head to foot; to adwira Lhe presents, and to make remarks not always complimentary on the bridegroom, who has {o ruu the Enumlul of tho sharp tongues of all beholders. Thus the day wears on, until the havpy pair are loft alone, and Izzed Boy lifts Zetal's vell, and cither "discovers that ho is the happy posscesor of charms which, reckon- ed in tho Turkish fashion, would bo worth, (£ the bride ware a slave, somo threo or four thou- eand poands, or tho unhappy owner of one of those scragoy, very plaln porsons who at the sama valuation would b doar at flfty shillings. Tutlio firat case it is quite possible that the tnion of Izzed and Zernh may be long and hap- byjthe luat, it is not lkely to last many muons {u & country whero niere physical beauty goes for so much, and where the women aresin. gularly uneducated.

Blaves, therefore, are nec- cssary to the Turk, both In bLis marital, his social, and his domestic relations, They are an Institution, and, so long as tho present Ottoman systam continucs, slaves must form part of tho dally existenca of tho Turk.

That spnt Is no loss than the Beragllo of tho Bultan hlinself, of which Osman Bey treats {n the third part of his hook.

Having business away up fn West Vieginia gome months ago, I was warned to look out for a singular race of belngs, calicd * Saugers,” They are found among the mountains in aparse- Iy-settled tracts, and are certalnly great curlosi- tlos.

They earn a livelihood by digging and selling the ginseng root, which grows wili in all parts of tho country, and Is supcrabundant fu the mountaly fastnesses, This root is bought by country storekcevers, furwarded to Cincin- natl and other citics, and shipped to China, where it commanda a hizh price, ‘The origin of the **8aurer” ts unknown.

ANECDOTE OF GEN, LEE. Loutevilia Courier-Journal, It was in the sunmer of 1804, while the arinles of the United States and Confederate States were confronting cach other onm tne James, below Richmond. On a certaln day a TFederal attack, which was thought to bo & de- coy, was made on the south side of the river. We thouuht we saw evidences of a real sttack on our side. Occasionally the whole picket-Hno would open fire. The runboats at Deep Bot- tarn would seud 300 pounds crashing through the timbers in the rear of what had been Libby's realdence, it wus then (en. Lee's head- quarters. At about 9 a'clock p. i, the artil- ery opened on our left. A few winutes after- word ~we heard the unmistakable roar of infantry firing, ~ We then knew that tbe lnes " of Dattle were engaged —on our Jeft. The pickets opened and kept up a rapid firing in our front, the gunboats send- ing their fofernal machines moro frequently. We, the Rockbridge Battery, were ordered to double<quick tuto position on Libby's Hill. On our way np, eversthing Jooked as though we were on the eve of terrible conflict,—the roar of artiifery and Infautry, the rapld movement of troops into lue, and the solemnity that scemed 1o have Impregnated tho whole atmosphere. As wo passed the Liuby house we saw Gen. Lee In the vard. He was standing just under alow tree, with one arm extended, as If reaching for something on the Umb, As we got uesrer to him we could see what he was cugaged In dolug at such a time. A little bird, whose mother wwas just teaching It to use its wings, had, in Its first " eflorty fallen to the ground. Its dumb mother, regardiess of the death and curnage that tntellizens man was dealing to his fellow, was utterlngr pitiful cries for her fallen off- epring. Gen. Lee reachad down and plcked up this liitle creature, and when we passed was in lhcxn::', of placing it where its mother could care forlt. TIHE MAN WIIO WAS WRECKED.
