OSMAN’S DREADFUL SITUATION. “While there were only detachments of Russian favalry ranging west of the Vid, and all important Points on the road were held by the Turks, a re- treat could have been eifected with tolerable facility, but now that a Muscovite army may be Baid to be tn the rear of Plevna and on the most direct line of retreat, a retirmg movement by the Other routes becomes a rather doubtful matter.” CAPTURING SEVEN THOUSAND MEN.

With the strange ab- sence Ring troubles bad uothing proximately to do Of course, there Lad been great strain upon my brain Qnd willpower during the siz yeurs in which these troubles have been uppormost in the public mud. WHat HE REGRETS, “1 principally regret that 6o much romance became necessary to invent, and especially to the disparage- ment of innocent fudividuals I have now had a six months’ rest, and really the frst during twenty y: 6! continuous professional and political eontlicts, 1 have, porhaps, no right to dispute with eld constitu. ents whether I am eccentric or not, or was an indiffer- ent or careless oficial or not; but so long ag my brain will hold out, lL shall resist every attempt to make it appear that a former Mayor of this gross city deliver. ately planned and carefully executed and profited pecuntarily by a criminal conspiracy.” There was no doubt that Mr, Hali was in Now York, During the afternoon a targe uumber of reporters called at bis residence, The reply given to the cards of tho reporters was that he was unable to seo any of the gentlomon of tho press then, because ho was rest tng alter nis voyage. Ibis truo that he did not go far trom his house, A reporter of the Heap met last evening an int!- mate friend of the ex-Mayor, one, indeed, who has, tor @ number of years, been on terms of irtendship with the family, and thinking that be perhaps know of the ex-Mayor's arrival the reporter proceeded to inter- view him, Said the gentleman:—'Mr, Hall is actually here, I have seon him, but I am no more at liberty to communicate to you his conversatiou than any mem- ver of the family would wish to do, Thero ts no secresy about’ bis arrival, Ho came as any other private gentleman would come. He ts now enjoying the privilege of seolag bis relatives after a long separa- tiun trom them,’? From the conversation of this friend the Hxratp reporter gleaned the following: ‘here was no per- son tn New York, or out of it,” said ho, “who oad ino Blightest intumatien of his taking off’ All the stories,” aid Mr. Hall's friend, “which brought in the bamos of innocent persons as those who were cog nizant of his departure were fabrications of tho most cruel kind, Indeed, Me, Hall bimvelf did not know that he was going. He simply went. Tuere was no method in bis madn He wng not controlled by contending motives, He had no motive at ull, io is of @ vory sensitive nature; much more so than men who saw him during the emergencies of his triats might believe. He ws no coward, He was not awaro when he went that Mr. Sweeny or any othor man existed, His actions in the office Just previous to bis loaving {t would preciude «he idea that he, a iow moments afterward, excitedly asked for whiskey in the room under the Tribune Building, He was not ther TUK SAME OLD OAKEY, “It was not uutil bo arrived in Now York yesterday that Mr, Hall learned the stories that have been told to account for his atrango proceeding. He1ts now sound in mind and strong in health, He is the same oid Oakey Hall that na was ten years ugo, In the taco he is younger, His hair is darker. But thero ts the samo old energetic swing of ono knee over the other as he sits talking; the saine mustacne with its palo streaks of gray among the dark brown; the same twinkle of tho dark eye, which sometimes seemed black and sometimes gray behind the glasses; tho same old habit of taking off the giasses to wipe thom, as if he wantea to rest thom {rom thoir twinkling the while, Hoe appears lesa anxious than be did for months and years previous to his dramatic departure, and he seems to havo rested, A great burden appw rently bes fallen from him, Me is fresh in body and strong in mind, und bis words havo tho snap and incisiveness of the old times, Ho went away as & wanderer, not knowing where bo was going, yet having a strange effort of the imag- ination und not of the will, to get away from scenes which constantly reminded him how evens bad come, as they came to Hambt, to make him what he did not wish to be. But be das been amid new scenes, where he has not been trying cages under the very cornices that Garvey mado and that caused bim #0 much trouble, whtro he hus not daily been passing a City Hali mado odious by treacherous circumstances, “Oakey Hall isa new man, He wonders now how any one could bavo believed that, alter standing the trialg which he almost forced to test, he should have run away from an acquittal He ran away from nothing; he kpew nothing about where be was gomg. His | bratm as overpowered by its buraea ; he suddenly lost all power over his will, He bad not tne slightest dea that any ono would know of his absence on the day after he was gone. No fancy of romance touched bis tu:nultuous brat, Ho was a drowning man ewimming through overpowering waves toward any invisible shore, no matter what. One of tho ideas which seems to have pressed upon him was that so many peop!o considered him to havo been careless {a the discharge of his official duties. Not thut be thinks ho did not do his best; but he re- grotted that he should have happened to be Mayor when aflairs happened which led to disaster. WHY Wh Has KRTCRNED. “Phe circumstance which brought bim bome was no other than the testimony of Tweed. This alone touched him so as to break the tutention bo had while in England to prolong bis etay ior a few months longer, 60 a8 to have some of the simple pleasures which be had net been able to enjoy during tho time when ho was recovering his wandering mind, ‘The now scones, even though they did not reach a wide hortzon, induced him to seek old youthtul studies, to bring up old fancies atimuluted by Dickens, and in a quiet way ho began to cnjoy them. Somo unforeseen Circumstance turew @ hint of Tweed’s tostimony into his way, and (he bext vessel brought him home, Even if he bad been Wealthy enough to stay very much longer or bad been willing to remain away from bis family any longer than circumstances absolutely requitod, bis pride, which became vigorous with bealth, would not permit nim to be Kept away from New York.
