[" tfVUtltcJ COMMERCIAL AND SHIPPING GAZETTE VOL.XXXL QUEBEC.2WKDNESDAY.DECEMBER OSMAN PASHA.T ho heroic demeanor of the gallant de* fender of Plevna, in the bitter hour of hie adversity, was described in an inter' aetinc despatch in our last issue and re* called similar events which have earned for some of the greet generals of history a fame even superior to that of their eooque'Mrs.A brave, but fallen man always commands admiration and sympa* thy alike from friend and foe ; but, in the case of Osman Pasha, it was not alone the proofe they had received of his physical courage, but his masterly abilities as an engineer and a leader of men, which won for him the delicate attentions and courteous treatment extended to him by the huasian commander, who felt, no doubt, that in him he had coped with a foe worthy of his steel and therefore, with the instincts of a true soldier, sought to soften his brave adversary's humiliation.His truthful recognition of the gallantry of Osman's defence and the splendor of the latter aa an unparalleled military feat did honor to both his hesd and heart} while, on the other hand, the brave Turk's acknowledgment of the compliment and Of the kindness of his reception was jest what might have been ex peoted from an honorable and unfortun ate soldier.Though humbled and orest-.fallen, wounded and grieving, in his in* terview with the Grand Duke Nicholas, be exhibited all the proverbial pnde and dignity of his race.His stoicism nearly complété, for nothing outwardly marked the feelings, to which his mind must have been a prey at the moment* but the difference between the manner m which be received the greetings of the Russian Grand Duke and those of Prinoe Charles of Houmania.The one he regarded as the traditional enemy of his sovereign and country, from whom it was natural to expect hostility ; the other he, doubtless, felt in his innermetfc heart to be a traitor to his duasrain, who was unworthy the respect of a loyal Turk and an honorable soldier j and he consequently is said to have accepted his oompli-meets m grim silence.Osman Pasha was oertaaly entitled to a better fate than that which the fortune* of war have decreed for him} but, at any rate, it is to be hoped that there is no foundation tor the reports that his wounds are like, iy to prove fatal, or that the superstitious objections of his race to such surgical mess urea as amputation to save his life arc likely to prevail with a man of bis personal courage and abilities.occasion.Ha was saluted by cries of \u201cFalse quantity,\u2019\u2019 Kîo on, neat boy,\" \u201cVery well rend, go three op,\u201d \"Construe,\" \u201cTake a losange,1\u2019 ko.The speech took abont a quarter of an hoar in reading.In the middle of It soother monkey waa hoisted, ranch to the delight of everybody save the Dons.One bold yonng man threw the monkey down, and It dropped abont six yards from Darvln, bat was hoisted np again before any below con Id selae it.Another bold youth sang three verses of the 'Leather Bottel,\u2019 amidst repeated cries of \u2018encore.\u2019 That same youth proposed s riddle, ahontinar at the top of his voice, 'What's the dlfierence between a monkey and \u2014(naming a ranch disliked proctor) T Then, in answer, he yelled ont, \u2018One cracks nuts, the other\u2019s nut's cracked \u2019 Screams, roars, laughter, pandemonium.After the public orator finished, Darwin rose to shake hands with the Dons.'Oo back,\u2019 said one, \u2018Ton\u2019ve left your tail on the chair and 'Walt for yonr brother,\u2019said another, as he launched the monkey at him, which on-happily fell short.Then all was over.We trodped ont, all beaded with perspiration, and ranch thinner than we went in.\u201d SPECIAL FROM TORONTO.Toaorro, Dec.17\u2014Thieve* attempted to break lato the house of Alderman Hallam last night, while he and his family were at church, hot the servant girl let loose a large who compelled the Intruders to make a speedy retreat.At the City Connell meeting this evening, a letter was read from the Deputy Minister of Militia and Defence stating that the applies-tioo for a portion of the ordnance lands for exhibition purposes bad been referred to Major-General Sir Selby Smyth* and Col.Do-rie, A D.G.A conunsnfoatiOD was also read from the latter, asking for particular* sod the amoant of land required.Information has been received from Buffalo a young man named Edward Pierson, hailing from this city, has been taken in cos-tody for thefts committed at a hotel la Clifton ;

Cats Tows, Nov.fi \u2014^Tbe sojourn among us of Mr.H.M.Stanley, the African explorer, fresh from his great achievements of the discovery of the Ciorae of the Lnalaba-Oongo Elver, has absorbed public attention ia oar metropolis for the past week, almost to the exclusion of all concern regarding the Cadre disturbances on the Butera border, now, happily, near an end.It waa a mere chance that drew oar visitor hither and enaoled ns, « the first English-speaking community, to give hima orrdial welcome and hearty \u201e ceogratelatlons oo the important geographical work which he haa so ¦uoceasfally accomplished.His desire to see the remnant of hla faithful followers safely restored to their home at Zsnalbar, whence he took them three years age to cross the continent with him, was the occasion of hla coming.During bis short stay on the West Oosat, at St.Psol de Loendo, Her Majesty's steamer \"Industry,\u201d Captain Dyer, pat in there for coals on her way to tba Cape Station, and the senior naval officer In command, Captain Purr las, immediately offered a pasmge to Mr.Stanley and hla men.Upon arriving in Simeon's 4Bey it was their intention to proceed by the Union Company\u2019s vessels, which leave here once a month tof the East Coast, but it happened that the out.going mail steamer for Zanslbar had that very day taken lis departure.Commodore Sullivan, O.B., now on this station, anticipating the wish of Her Majesty\u2019s Government to assist and do all hoDOQjr to the intrepid traveller, immediately made arrangements for the party proceeding right on t?their destination by the \"Industry,\" which leaves Simon\u2019s Bay to-day, and on her way eastward will stop at East Loadon for a few boars to allow Mr.Stanley to ran np to King William's Town to see Sir P- Frere, who is still detained there by the war on oor border.The quiet inland town of Stellenbosch itself thought It no small honour to receive s visit from Mr.Stanley, who, with Commodore Sullivan, the Dean of Capetown, and a few other friends, accompanied his followers.Triumphal arches were erected, cannon were fired, orowda cheered, and young children strewed the way with fiowera.The Arabe were treated with cakes and oranges, while the traveller and his party were entertained at a public luncheon provided by the municipal councillors and the principal inhabitants.Here, also, an address was presented complimenting him ou the \u201cnnahrinklag self-denial, the indomitable energy, the on-daunted courage, and the never-falling tact which carried him across the African (nnti.nent, In spite of hostile tribes and countless physical difficulties, opening np regions inaccessible sod unknown to civilised man.\" His speech in response to this was vjry different from the préviens ones.Opening with eome remarks appreciative ot the quiet rqral elyaiam which the town presents, he that concluded with a reference to bis own work.He said 4\u2014 \"Il I could have an easy chair sad a quiet hour or two by myself under the shade of some fine patriarchal free abont here, I think For aev«r« Coughs and Hoarseness.Philadelphia, Jan.1, 1876.Messrs.Seth W.Fowl* A Dons : Gentlemen-Mias H.Bums, of 17th and Coatsa Streets, hae long been a sufferer from a severe oougb and boarteuess, which I considered chronic.She wss treated by eome or our most eminent physicians, but tbey were only able t'i afforJ her temporary relief I prescribed Da.Wistar\u2019s Balsam or Wild Chbsrt, the use of four bottles of welch entirely cured her, as It is now four montbs since sbe took the last or it, during wblob tl-a-s she ba-> bad no return of the complaint.For the guod of Buffering humanity, Miss Barns bas requested me to lay tbe case before tbe public.Yours truly, T.D.McQbath, M.D , Druggist and Obemlst.8.£.cor.7lb and Wharton Streets.60 cents and gl a bottle.Bo.d by all ding-gists.December IS, 1877.\tF-dAw THE HORSE.\u2022Of tbe great number of animals under the control of man, tbe horse is unquestionably tbe most serviceable ;

hot at length i settled, with a good comma ad in g Ti«W of the theatre of action.Between tbo opposite galleries the uadsrgiads suspended m rope ; they hang a monkey on it ; they \u2022boated, \u2018Three obeets tor primeval man ?Our father f 'Am I not a man and a brother On another rope they bang one link of chain, this they styled the \u2018missing link.Meanwhile everybody below was laughing we upstate* were shooting, roaring, biasing, groaning, perspiring, charging.After ail the pMrlrfi bad trooped ia, amidst shouts of ap.probation aad the revers*, dandys, public Pfgipy rend n speech written in Latin for the could paid a sweet, exquisite, day .dream or poetlu ideal of A fatore life to which you might aspire here.I could fancy a railway from Boma on the West Coast piercing the heart of the coutinent through to the Zambesi, with a branch to Natal, and another to some port on the West Oosat ; and another striking across and making tbe figure oi a oroes as It came down to tbe Cape of Good Hope, bringing s Indents from those terrible oennibal lands of Central Africa down here to worship in those temples which you people of Stellenbosch have raised, whose white ¦pires I saw glistening against the dark back ground of mountain slopes.(Applause.) 1 could fancy these things, I assure you, were surrounded by olrcnmsUnces which are apt to prodnoe these poetic Ideas.Bnt as it is, I bave Commodore Sullivan here with me today, the chief of the naval forces at Simon\u2019s Town, who, I am sure, if I prolong my speech, will rise to his feet and say, 'Stanley, we lure only jast so many seconds before we most be off.\u2019 (Laughter.) Were it not for this, I might take yon much farther, bat I hope the day will come when England will Mile and take advantage of the discoveries which I have had the trouble to make.(Oheera.) There Is a well-known adage which Mys, 'A word to tbe wise is sufficient.\u2019 Let me tell you that there is a broad river ith one of the finest and most espacions entrance?) in all tbe world, where line-of-battle ships and commercial steamers might enter at all times and seasons, with a depth of 1,312 feet, aad with a volume of 8,500,000 cubic feet of water per second.Ia it poMible that you will not take advantage of this 7 Is is possible that it requires me to show what this might bring you to, when beyond those mountains through which the Congo roars, steep alter steep, there are 2,000 miles of navigable water, to which yon might tarn either south or north to tbe Moautalns of the Moon?(Applsqse.) What does it mean7 It means that hero ia a grand opportunity for England to step in and improve Africa.No outlay of money is needed it is only requisite that England should step forth aad say, \u2018This river here is free to the commerce of the globe, without any differential rights.\u2019 (Applause.) The traders of ail Dations, If they are anffioiently enterprising, can here, by this avenue of commerce, penetrate into any of those regions.Should the missionary, urged, .by some spiritual Impulse, desire to develop# the mental and moral strength of Central Africa, here is a broad field which Le might advantageously enter and select any spot from.Commerce would follow with all those blessings aud benefits which we havs experienced for some ten centuries now, and upon which we so pride ourselves.Commerce, I say, might spread its wings all acroM Africa, from six degrees north latitude to the Cape of Good Hope, claiming mighty England aa the mother of ail.(Applause.)

and a surfeit of good things or their absence this afternoon might possibly be attended with the same deplorable result.Ministers therefore bad better take care to break the news gently or so vaguely and gradually that no harm may ensue, especially to their supporters.We know that their time has been taken up altogether since last session with grave and impartial consideration of the interests of the country, such for instance as where they may next find room to stick stamps in* stead of on insurance policies and receipts, and tnerefore that they must have many surprises in store for the Province.But we beg of them to be .careful.The publie has not been prepared in advance for any oxoeas ot joy, especially over their last i^wn of half a million dollars, and the alleged charming condition of the Provincial Treasury.But badinage aside, we agree with our evening contemporary, the Mercury, that Mthe silence ot Government, its organs and party in this Province on the eve of the meeting of the Legislature is equally astonishing and sinister.This meeting of tne Legislature in dumb and grim silence may be congenial to some new view of government entertained by the present rulers of Que-bee, but it is entirely unconstitutional and altogether unprecedented.\" ROBBERY ON THE INCREASE.r It is nsedlesb to point to the number of burglaries, robberies and thefts which are recorded almost daily, of late, in our local columns, to feel that we have un£ fortunately at this season a large preda tory class, to whom Quebec and its environs offer a very tempting field to opers ate in.The hours in which these gentry delight to work at their nefarious occupation are to be found to perfection at this period of the year, and the urgency of more general and individual preoau.lions against them is therefore apparent.Daylight larcenies may possibly be guarded against, but it is especially during the long, and cold nights of winter, that property is chiefly in danger from the depredations of the burglar and that it is most difficult to protect it against him, as he has every facility for the transaction of bis business without incurring any disproportionate risk.When he makes a haul, nothing is easier than to sympathise with the victim of his self.presented testimonials and to indignantly blame the police and watchmen, but, it must be remembered that those guardians are and can be neither omniscient, nor ubiquitous , that it is a duty which every proprietor or occupant owes to himself and to society to see that carelessness on his part does not prove an irresistible allurement to the crimes we oomplain of.We have already had oo.to point out the frequency of in.stances of such carelessness reported, ¦uch as neglecting to look the doors properly fasten tbe windows ot stores, ahopa, A&, after nightfall, when the pro THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT TO MEET ON JANUARY 17.Government lo Ask a Grant for Military Preparations ADVANCE OF THE RUSSIANS FROM PLEVNA.liOXDOS, Deo.18\u2014A Bucharest correspondent reports that orders have been given in Russia for the immediate mobilisation of 60,000 fresb troops ; new battalions are continually crossing tbe Danube.\u2022 A Belgrade correspondent says Gen.Hor-ratovicb is advancing eastward from Adlie, and it is rumored bo bas already effected a jonction with the Rnssians and Bonmaniane.The Standard, in its leader, explains that tbe victory of tbe Russians is not tbe cause of tbe enmmoniog of Parliament, bat tbe license which is given to Rassis by Germany and A natria to use tbe victory in her own way.This la what constitutes the dang.r to British interests.England can never consent to tbe quarrel being ar anged on these terms ; sbe may even have cause to demur to a peace made directly between tbe belligerents ; she claims a voice in tbe settlement, and it is that sbe may be prepared to insist apon that voice that tbe Government is adopting those measures which Parliament will be invited to sanction.Loaooa, Dec.18\u2014Tbe Daily Nnot says it cannot hslp fearing Lord Beaconsfield has summoned Parliament rather to obtain indemnity for something actually done than to consult it as to a fntare policy.A Vienna correspondent says Intelligence from all sides leaves no doubt the Russians from Plevna have commenced a forward movement in every direction.There are several indications that they are about to attack Shipka Pass.There is great dissatisfaction in Constantinople with Bnleiman Pasha, and bis recall is probable.Lobbom, Deo.18\u2014The papers officially announce that Parliament will meet on Jsnnaty 17th.The Standard sûtes that tbe Cabinet have decided to ask Parliament to vote a grant of money for such increase of tbe British army as the present state of Enrope demands.Albxibats, Dec.18\u2014Prince Milan has arrived.Tbn report is confirmed that tbe Servians have occupied Adlie ;

he frequently pointed it at the crowd, and at the same time ordered it to disperse or ne would fire.Paquette, bolder than the rest, took up a pick-handle in a threatening manner, when Cosgrove1 covered him with the pistol ; at this moment a naan, said to be a sou of the contractor, shouted \u201cfire at him,\u201d and Cosgrove fired three shots tu quick fenccestion, one of tbe balls entering Paquette\u2019s left breast at tbe nipple and lodging in the back.The wounded man was im, mediately carried off and a doctor summoned, who prononneed the wound fatal.Cosgrove and his men beat a hasty retreat into the office, on tbe works, which was soon surrounded by an infuriated mob, who commenced wrecking the building.Tbe party Inside, however, were evidently prepared, as a fosi-lade was resorted to in self-defence, snd some fifty shots were fired from tbe Inside before tbe wreckers beat u retreat.Tbe most marvellous escapes took place, the balls having passed through tbe men\u2019s clothes without touching them, sad others were singed by the powder from the firearms.Two men are injured by stoqe-throwiog, but not seriously.The strikers are chiefly Fi\u2019ench-Canadlans and Irish, bat there are some Americans as well as £jDglish and Scotch amongst them.The strike is supposed to have been planned and organised* beiorehand, and there seems to be a determination to bold ont fpr tbeir own terms, one dollar per day and fortnightly payments.Inflammatory speeches have been made at the meetings held, and if some arrangement is not soon arrived at there will be setions trouble, as there is no police force available to overawe tbe disaffected.The ¦trike extends all l|ie way along the canal frdm Montreal to Lacblne, seven miles.Paquette bas arrived at a late hour to-night, at ths hospital In this city ; an excited mob following the vehicle that he came in.Cosgrove has fled and cannot be found.Tbe men threaten vengeance, and rioting is apprehended to-morrow.SPECIAlTTkOM MONTREAL.Moitkial, Dec.18.\u2014F.Corbeille bas entered an action for $1 ,000 damages against the city, on account of a prosecution against him in tbe Recorder\u2019s Court, resulting in a conviction upon * license to keep a stall which bad been granted by tbe city authorities.L.Rolland Is suing Jss.O\u2019Brien for $25,-000, tbe balance of a partnership in boot and shoe manufactory.An action for libel Is brought by Mr Thi-bandean against Mr.Barthe, M.P.for Sorel ;

the evening waa proceeded with.Mr.R.H.L.Watson, R.A.M., being called upon, performed upon the organ some very brilliant movements, showing tslented powers of execution, and waa loudly applauded.Aitei

and literary entertainment, tbe meeting, which waa most Interesting throughout, wai brought to a close by the singing of tbe Doxology at 10.30.Boxuis Matob \u2014Tbe Music Hall has seldom been so crowded, within oor recollection, as it was last night to witness tbe long talked of glove contest between Professor LaBoseiere aod Gunner Ambrose Carney of the \u201cB\u201d Battery.Notwithstanding tbe high price of admission charged, the Hall was literally psckecl witb the lovers of the \u201cnoble art of self-defence,\u201d all eager for tbe result of the match.The evoniog\u2019s entertainment opened with an exhibition, contest between Drivers Heywood and Blais which, after spirited competition came off in favor of tbe latter.Afterwards Drivers Strange and McKinnon bad a set-to witb the gloves, which resulted in \u201cgame\u201d for Strange.Ae it was well known tbe crowning performance was then to follow, excitement ros* to the highest pitch, and it was with tne greatest difficulty tbat a retcree was appointed aud tbe rules of the fortbeoming contest announced, owing to tbe hubbub of tbe multitude, each one of which was worked up to concert pitch.As the curtain rose, the two men LaBoseiere and Carney wtre discovered witn their seconds aad supporters.A general bnza of admiration went ronnd tbe andience as tbe two men met on mid-stage.Tbe build ot each was keenly scrutinized, and tbe chances pro or con as to \u201ctoo heavy\u201d or \u201ctoo light\u201d were freely descanted on.Setting aside any prejudice for either side, all freely admitted that each \u201cstripped very prettily\u201d and looked well determined to do their \u201clevel best\u2019\u2019 to maintain tbe reputation of their individual citiee.Toe rules were those uaually obierved in boxing circles.As the onset commenced both men showed tbemselvts well up to their work, aud at an early moment exhibited some heavy hitting out from the shoulder.Tbe \u201cclaret wat tapped\u201d on each side but sparely, as the antagonists appeared to attend more to body hitting than disfiguring each other facially.Heavy \u201cslogging\u2019\u2019 was freely indulged in anti, throughout the four rounds of the contest, a continuons battery was kept up ; Carney generally evincing himself the better man.As round after ronnd followed the advantage was on the side of the Battery man, and by some it waa observed that La-Bossiere carried too mack weight and was too easily Vwinded.\u201d On the other band it was stated that Carney did not follow op his advantag is quickly enough, and that If ho had done so he might have \u201ctackled\u201d his man much earlier.No matter, the four rounds were run through in eighteen minutes and at the expiration of tbat time, Professor LaBoaslere declared, by action (or rather inaction) that \u201che had bad enough.\" This, by the com pact agreed upon, was sufficient and Am broee Carney was declared tne Heavy Weight Champion of Canada.Carney has shown hlmselt as a \u201cgood man,\u201d as be only counts 23 yegrs of age, while his opponent is said to be aged 33.Great credit is due him for his plu«.Professor Woods, who bas been in defatigable in training Carney, must take laurels to himself for the perfection of his pupil\u2019s execution.As might bave been expected tbe crash round the Music Hall was something tremendous, aud bed it n°t been for the excellent arrangements made.by Captain Heigham for a prevention of disorder, some no little trouble might have been met witb, but as it was tbe City Police ffere enabled to keep highly creditable order.SPECIAL

and ulceration In my throat caused by the polaonous matter dropping down from my head had so Irritated and Inflamed my lungs that I cough ed Incessantly, \u2014ft deep, hard cough.Meanwhile my system began to showthc effcctsof this disease, so that I lost flesh, grew pale, and showed every ptom of sn csrly death by consumption, wl ___;ers had reached thl» stage, or about six mon ago.I began the use of SajcronD\u2019a Radical Ctrau for Catarrh.After n-dng the first bottle I began to improve rapidly.Tho tint doso seemed tocler.i-my head as I had not known It to bo for years.I t seemed

or no word Mow, did I see him come along tbe big pas-Mge T\u2014a \u2018corrydoor\u2019 they call it now, though m> more carry in it than there is door.No, I never eeed him come along the passage, ««d *h«i made it mere reproachful.He come oat of a green-baiae door\u2014the very place 1 can point ont to yon, and the self-same door, though false to the accuracy of tbe miod that knows It, by reason of baring been covered up red, and all the brass bottons lost to it in them new-fangled upholsteries.Not 1 see him come through, if yon please, but the sway of the door, being doable -Joint> ed, was enough to show legs had been there.And knowing that my lord\u2019s private room waa there, made me pat out my legs quite wonderful.\u201d\t\u2022 »*0h, do please to pot ont yoar words half m quickly.\u201d uNo, miss, no.I were lissome in those days, though sot so very stiff at thie time of speaking and bound to be guarded in the guidance of the tongue.And now, miss, 1 think if you please to bear the rest to-morrow, I could tell it better.\u201d A more outrageous idea than this was never presented to me.Even I could have triad to wait, this dreadfal old man aright have made up his mind not to open his lips in the morning, or, if be would speak, tbsre might be nethiog left to say.His me-mory was nursed up now, and my only chance waa to keep it so.Therefore I begged him to please to go on, and no more would I In tempt him And I longed to be ten yean older, so as not to speak when needless.MSo then, Miss Erins, if I must go eu,\u201d resumed the well-coaxed Stixon, \u201d1/ my doty to the family driveth me to an 'snowing subject, no words can more justly tell what come to peas than my language to my wife.She were alive then, the poor dear hangs!, and the mother of seven children, which made me, by your leave comparing humble rods with grandeur, a little stiff to him up stain, as Co me in on tbe top oi seven.For I said to my wife when I went home\u2014sleep-lag out of the house, you see, miss, till the Lotd waa pleased to dissolve matrimony\u2014 \u2022Polly,\u2019 I said, when I took home my supper, \u2022you may take my word for it there is aome-thisg q\u2019teer.\u2019 Not another word did I mean to tell her, as behooved my dooty.Howsoever, no peace was my lot till I made a clean bosom of it, only patting her first on the Testament, and even that not safe with most of them.And from that night not a soul has heard a word till It comes to you, miss.He come striding along, with bis face muffled up, for all the world like a baggier, and no more heed did he pay to me than if I was one of the pedestals.But I were in front of him at the door, and to slip ont so was against all orders.Bo In front of him I stands, with my hand upon the hand lee, and meaning to have a word with him, to know who be was, and such like, and bow he comas there, and what he had been seeking, with the spoons and ths forks and the gravies ou my mind.And right I would have been in a cofirt of law (li the lawyers was put out of U) for my hefforts In that situation.And then, what do you think he done, miss ?So f»r from entering into any conversation with me, or hitting at ms, like a man\u2014which would have done good to think of\u2014he send out one baud to the bottom of my vest\u2014»s they call it now in all the best livery tailors\u2014and afore I could reason on it, there I was a-lying on a star in six colors of marble.When I come to think on It, it was but a ptfeh directed to a part of my system, and not a hit under the belt, the 1 ke of which no Briton would think of delivering.Nevertheless, there was no differ in what came to me, raise, and my spirit was roo*ed, as if I had bsen hit fool by one of the priseoieo.No lime to get up, but I let out one foot at his loog legs us a\u2019 was slipping through the door, and so neariy did 1 fetch him over that be let go his muffle to balance himself with the jamb, and same moment n strong rash of wind laid bare the whole of his wicked face to me.For a bad wicked face it was, as ever I did see ; whether by reason of the kick I gave, and a splinter in the shin, or by habit of the mind, a proud and \u2019«ughty and owdacloos face, aud, an I said to my poor wife, reminded me a little of our Master George ; not tn his ordinary aspect, to be sure, but as Master George might look if he was going to the devil.Pray excoose me, miss, for bad words, hot no good ooea will do justice.And to off he goes, alter one look at me on the ground, not worth considering, with his chin stock up, as if the air was not good enough to b» breathed perpeodlklar like.\u201d \u201cAnd ol course you followed him,\u201d I ex.claimed, perceiving that Btixoo would allow me now to epeek.\u201cWithout any delay you west after him.\u201d \u201cMisa Erma, yon forget what my dooty was.My dootv was to stay by the door and make it fast, as costodiso of all this mansion.No lutie coorosity, or private resentment, could \u2019a borne me out in doing so.As an outraged man I was up for rushing out, but as a trusted official, and responsible head* footman, miss\u2014for I were not butler till nine months after that\u2014my dooty was to put the big bolt in.\u201d \u201cAnd yon did it, without even looking oat to see if he tried to set the house on fixe I Oh, Btixon, I leu that you were frightened.\u201d \u201cNow, Mise Erma, I calls It ungrateful, after all my hefforts to obleege yon, to put a bad construction upon me.You hurts me, miss, la my tonderest parts, as I never thought Master George's darter would 'a doed.But there, they be noue of them as they need to be 1 Master George would 'a said, if he ever had heard it, 'Btlxon, my mao, you have acted for the brst, aud showed a sound discretion.SUxton,\u2019 he would have said, \u2018here's a George and Dragon to reward of your gallant oonduck.\u2019 Ah, that sort oi manliness le died oat now.\u201d This grated at first upon my feelings, because It seemed tainted with selfishness, and it did not entirely agree with my own recol-\u2022 lections oi my father.Bot still Mr.Stixon must have suffered severely iu that conflict, and to blame him for not showing rashness was to misunderstand bis poaitiou.And so, before patting any other questions to him, I felt In my pocket for a new half sjveroiin.which I hoped would answer.Mr.Stixon received It in an absent manner, as ft he were still in the struggle ef his story, and too full ot duty to be thankful.Yet t saw that he did not quite realise the truth of a nobly philosophic proverb\u2014\u201cthe half is more than the whole.\u201d evertheless, he stowed away bis half, la harmony with a good old English taying.\u201cMow, when you were able to get up at Mut,\u201d I inquired, with tender interest, what did you see, sod what did you do, and what cooclnsiou did you come to T\u201d \u201cI came to the conclusion, miss, that I were hurt considerable.Coorosity on my purl were quenched by the way as I bad to rub myasii.But a man Is s man, and tbe last thing to oompiain of is the exercise of Afe functions And when 1 come round I went off to his lordship, as If I bad beared Bis bell ring.All of os knew better than to till him beginning, for he were not what they now call \u2022bailable,' but very much to the contrary.So be says, \u2018You door-to\"1*\u2014what do you want there f And 13 that he got his hot leg up, certain to fly to bad language.According, I asked, with my breath la my hand, If he pleased to see any young man
