and thinks Hayes wll "bust the party

familiar way as a martyr to his political
principles. The telegram of Dr. Mum

this morning, exposes Dula's falsehood.
That this ignorant and corrupt negro is
objectionable to the citizens of the parish
as postmaster is of course true, but that
any wrong has been done him is false.
The only wrong done in this matter
was done by the Postmaster General in
appointing as postmaster of St. Francis

T.E tuEAo.AD TAX.
The positive and emphatio refusal of
the voters of New Orleans to levy a spe
cial forced tax upon property for the
purpose of fostering a private enter
prise, will go furthertoward strengthen
ing the credit and good name of this
city and State than 3nything except the
wresting of the government of Louislans
from the control of alien plunderers.
The vote cast on Friday against the
proposition to confiscate a portion
of the laboriously accumulated prop
erty of real estate holders for the
benefit of a corporation that had no
more just and equitable a claim to gov
ernmental support than any other cor
poration engaged in an enterprise cal
ulated to advanoe directly the inter.
este of the corporators and indirectly
those of the community at large, was a
stronger condemnation of a dangerous
and vicious principle sought to be en
grafted upon our institutions than we
had dared to hope for. It shows that
the people of the city are emi
nently fit for self-government, be
cause they have the intelligence to
comprehend that a measure which is
wrong in principle cannot be justified
by even the most convincing arguments
as to the material advantages which it
may work, and the virtue to resist, in
vindication of sound principles of gov
ernment, the most seductive appeals to
their appetites and passions. The advo
cates of this tax deliberately addressed
themselves to the worst instincts of com
munism in their appeals to the non
property-holdlng and unemployed
voters of the city to take
advantage of their superiority
in numbers and virtually to rob their
neighbors of the wherewithal to sup.
port themselves, and it must stand to
the lasting credit of the masses that
they refused to listen to these appeals.
Rad the vote resulted otherwise than
it did, a fatal blow would there
by have been inflicted upon the
credit of the city and State,
Property-holders, alarmed at such
a serious menace to the security of
property, would have hastened to rid
themselves of such perilous encum
branoes and to remove the proceeds
from the confines of a State where, it
might have been said, all incentive to
industry and the accumulation of sav
ings is destroyed by the exposure of
property to virtual spoliation through
appeals to ignorant suffrage.
No reasonable man could have expect
ed or urged that influx of foreign
capital to this State, which is so essen
tial to the development of its material
resources. Now, however, we may
safely point to the result of the recent
vote as the strongest guaranty that
foreign capital could require that, under
the favorable auspices of a free and
honest government and the strongly
manifested determination of the masses
of the people to be guided in their
exercise of the right of suffrage
by sound political, principles and
considerations of public good,. Lou
isiana will prove to be the most in
viting field in the United States
for the investment of the unemployed
millions of dollars now lying idle in the
vaults of Northern and European banks.
PASBION IN AFR.iCA.
An African Belle In Full Vostume.
In one tribe through whose territory
he passed after leaving Tanganyika,
Lieut. Cameron found the women much
more regarded than is usual among
Africans, and consequently they were
far more fashionable than the rest of
their sex in that happy country. One
of the belles of the country is thus de
scribed in Cameron's journal:
"She is a merry sort of person, this
Mrs. Pallwanywa, and really ladylike
In her manners. It was great fun show
ing her a looking-glass. She had never
seen one before and was half afraid of
it., and ashamed to show she was afraid.
She is a very dressy body, double rows
of cowries round her head, besides cop
per, iron and ivory ornaments stuck in
her hair, and just above and in front of
each ear a tassel of red and white beads.
A large necklace of shells was round
her neck, and round her waist a string
of opal-colored singo-mazzi, and a rope
made of strings of red beads. Her
front apron was of leopard skin, and the
rear one of colored grass cloth with its
fringe strung with beads and cowries
sewed on it in a pattern; bright iron
rings were round her ankles, and copper
and ivory bracelets on her arms. Her
hair was shaved a little back from her
forehead, and three lines, each about a
quarter of an inch wide, were painted
below. The nearest one to the hair was
red the next black, and the next white;
and to crown all, she was freshly
anointed with oil, and looked sleek and
shiny. Her upper lip was perforated
and a piece of stone inserted, until the
lip protruded a couple of inches, giving
a hideous expression to the face and
making her articulation quite indis
tinct."

AN INCIDENT OF NAYAUINO.
HOW AN AMWICAN WlO TURN1WE
T'r!RH WAPS MEiRVED.
What Cnme of a Mall out of flaltimorf
In 1531.
"' The American offieers in the Khe.
dive's army decline to fight for the
Turks."
This is what a recent special to the
D).oonAT informed us, respecting gen.
tlemen who are extensively known in
the two armies, who were engaged in
our civil war and who have many rela.
tives and friends in this country.
Ahd this item and the reference
therein to the battle of Navarino, in
1818, bring to mind an incident of a
very remarkable character, Illustrative
of the hazards of Americans assuming
the turban and ataghan and engaging
to fight under the Crescent, and of the
wonderful coincidences which occurred
to a-longtime resident in this city.-
It was in the year 1854, during the
Crimean war, that we happened to be
engaged in the discussion, with a gen
tleman, of some of the events of that
war. In our office sat, waiting until
the conclusion of the discussion a per
son of a very striking appearance. He
was a stout, square-built, broad-shoul
dered man, of dark complexion and
long raven hair, with large fierce eyes,
Roman nose, and an air of sang (.froid
approaching to ferocity.
"Yes, sir," interjected this formida
ble looking person, Interrupting our
conversation, " what you say is perfectly
true. England brought on herself all
this trouble by blowing up the Turkish
and Egyptian fleets at 1Navarino, for I
was there and yas one of the parties
who were blown up.".
"Why, Captain, you don't say you
were at Navarino, and were blown up
there ?"
"Sure as that my name is Bossiere."
" Well, let us adjourn to Sam's, and
over a mug of beer give us the whole
story."
And so we proceeded to that popular
resort and Capt. Bosslere began his
narrative. But before we proceed let
us inform those of our readers who are
not old enough to remember him who
Capt. Bossiere was.
At the time of our interview, Capt.
Dossiere, after a long service in the mer
cantile, marine, privateering and fili-l
bustering service in South America
and elsewhere abroad, at last settled
down in New Orleans, engaged in some
business on the levee and had become
a substantial family man and citizen.
Purchasing a place for his family across
the lake near Abita Springs, he became
Interested in advancing the claims of
these springs for healthfulness. Here
were born the two sons, fine gallant fel
lows, who distinguished themselves in
our late war one of whom lost a
leg, and who now cultivate the
place inherited from their father.
Alasl this adventurous man, who had
passed safely through so many perils,
and who had so recklessly risked his
life in so many combats, closed his ca
reer at this period, long after he had
abandoned all pursuits of a warlike and
adventurous sort, in a private quarrel
with his partner. He was shot in an
office in Exchange Place, and died of
his wounds. This was but a few months
after the narrative we proceed now to
give as nearly as we can in his owri
words.
"It was sometime in 1827 that I sailed
out of Baltimore, where I was born of
West Indian perentage, in a fast Balti
more clipper, with a full cargo for the
Miediterranean. I had been a sailor
from early boyhood and had passed
through all the grades of the service;
was now captain and could handle and
fight a ship as well as any chap with
gold straps in the navy. Reaching
safely the Mediterranean I sailed along
the coast of Greece; had little trades
with the people of the towns, and fre
quently had some pretty lively excapades
and rows with that most thievish, pirati
cal and lying of all the various races in
the world I have had any interoourse
with. '1hey played me some scurvy
tricks, and I determined if I ever had a
chance to get even with them.
"Putting into Alexandria, Egypt, we
disposed of our cargo, apd the agent of
the owners having received a handsome
offer for the clipper concluded to sell
her, and thus I was thrown on the
streets of Alexandria, out of employ
men', Ali Pacha was then drumming
up recruits for the squadron which he
was fitting out to send to the aid of the
Turkish fleet then threatened by the
allied navies of England, France and
Russia. Americans were in great de
mand to officer the Egyptain vessels,
and I vroceeded quickly to their re
cruiting station and, introducing my
self as the captain of the Baltimore
clipper then lying in port, asked for
service and employment on one of the
ships of their feet, as I had a special
desire to flog the rascally Greeks.
"My offer was accepted and I was as
signed to the command of the Al Has
san, a staunch, well got-up brig, carry
ing twelve guns, with a pickedcrew of
over one hundred men. I assumed a
Turkish name, got my ship in condition
and in a few days started with the ilbet,
which proceeded to join the Turkish
squadron off Navarino We were lying
here some time, battering down the
Greek towns and smashing their vari
ous vessels, fire floats, and other de~il
tries. We were pretty much using up
the Greeks. when one day we observed
an immense fleet approaching
ours. The sea appeared for miles
to be covered with their big ships.
Soon their ensigns becahe'visible and
we could discover the union jack of
England, the tricolor of France and
the double-headed eagle of Russia, and
knew at once that it was the allied fleet,
and that they were moving down on us.
There was no braver man than our Ad
miral, nor braver subordinates and
rews than those that composed the
Turkish and Egyptian fleets. We were
signalled to clear decks and prepare for
action. The allied ships moved in three
lines down on us, so as to cover our
whole front and flanks, and then each
ship was tolled off for an adversary of
bh., ..i nn WnltaiO'ht~
"The vis-a-vis of the Al Hassan was
a powerful sloop of fifteen heavy guns,
and her battery completely covered our
decks. So the ships were all stationed,
the allies outnumbering and vastly out
weighing us. Then there was a long
parley and a vast deal of signaling, and
of sending out gigs from the flag ships
of the two squadrons. Well, tois came
to a close; there wa- a pause, and we
were signaled to prepare for ant.on and,
when demand was made to surrender,
to respond with a broadside. This was
about all I coud learh from the jargfO
aroun.d me, ani Wihen the eaptaln of the
Britisih sloop bore down on s arnd her
captatn shouted to us to "dowh our flag,"
'I gave the order to my eager and
brave fellows to open on her which
they did with hearty good will. One
blroadesde had been well delivered, but
just as I was peering over the taffrail
through the smoke, to see what effect
had been produced, the most terrific
explosion occurred, which seefned to
rend heaven and earth into shreds and
to shake the universe from centre to
citcumference. I have only the vaguest
idea of this explosion; do not ret' em
ber an Incident of it, and never recov
ered consciousness nor the use of any
one of my senses until twenty-four or
thirty hours after I had given the last
order on the deck of the Al Hassan.
"And now I was In the cockpit of the
British sloop Sophie, which was crowd
ed with others in a like condition of
senselessness-only several of them
were much worse off than I was, having
lost limbs, and were groaning in agony
or howling in rage. I was cut in several
places with splinters and was fearfully
bruised and stunu ed, whtcl had-brongfrt
on a severe fever and delirium. I re
member, however, very distinctly the
ray of comfort which beamed upon my
consciousness as my eyes fell upon the
friendly, sympathizing, mild counte
nance of a young officer who was lean
ing over me.
I asked him where I wra,. He said in
the dock-pit of his Majesty's ship
Holpnie. 'And where Is the Al Has
san?" "Sunk like the rest of the Egyp
tian fleet, but we managed to save all
her crew, including the wounded, and
now, my good fellow, make yourself
comfortable. I see you are no rTurk or
Arab. I know you can't be an English
man, and I have calculated you muist
be one of those roving Yankees who go
about the worlI getting into all
sorts of scrapes." "Faithfully did
the young commander keep his
promise. I was treated with the
greatest kindness by this omcer
and the other British omcers, and
proceeded with them to England, where
I was released on my parole, was
supplied with money anvd took pas
sage by the first vessel for Baltimore.
Now you marvel and look rather skepti
cal about this story. Your wonder and
incredulity would be much greater over
other incidents of my subsequent career
in the Gulf of Mexico, in the service of
Columbia and other states. But to re
move all doubt as to my Navarino story,
I have only to subpýas a well-known
and highly respected member of the bar
and old citizen of New Orleans, who
was the identical commander, John
Gedge, who commanded the British
sloop which blew up the Al
Hassan at Navarino." And as
he concluded with this clincher,
the Captain, glancing his eye across
the street, exclaimed, in a loud tone,
"Why, as I live was there ever such a
coincidence! There is John Gedge
passing on the other side of the street."
We knew Mr. Gedge well; he was a
High Mason and most esteemed gen
tlemnan and lawyer, but with an asoect
«f meekness, quietude and gentleness
which would have rendered him the
very last man in any thousand that
could be selected for a naval hero or
fighter who had figured In 'uch scenes
of conflict as that described by Bossiere.
Mr. Gedge was intercepted, brought
in to join us, and then, in his quiet way,
gave his version of the incident at Na
varino which Bossiure had related.
In view of all the circumstances we
have never ceased to remember this in
cident as one of such remarkable co
incidences as would be deemed extrava
gant even in romances, but which was
verified by such practical .proofs and
facts as left us no longer an excuse for
a single doubt of the literal accuracy
of Capt. Bossiere's story of his expe
rience as a Turkish fillibuster.
HINIDO HUMANITY.
Why Ahmedabad was Rurnt.
A striking illustration of that human
ity for which Hindoos are proverbial is
afforded by the account given in the In
dian newspapers of their conduct during
a terrible conflagration which occurred
at Ahmedabad, Bombay, on the twenty
fourth of last month. The fre broke
out on the evening of that day, and was
not extinguished until noon on the fol
lowing day. It destroyed 150 houses
and an immense amount of valuable
property. There was no water at hand
available for putting the fire out, and
the municipal water carts and "Puck
ally bullocks" had to bring it from a
distance. Everybody was rushing hither
and thither; the soldiers of the Thir
teenth Regiment of native Infantry,
assisted by their officers and the Euro
pean officials, were doing their utmost
to save life and property, and the whole
city as might be expected, was in a
hubbub. The Hindoos, however, stood
and gazed at the spectacle, quite indif
ferent to the terrible consequences,
and although many of them howled,
screamed, and cried, they rendered no
further assistance toward extinguishing
the flames. Most of their houses were
furnished with tanks, but they refused
for a considerable time to allow water
to be taken from these receptacles, "for
fear of the animalculr being killed."

EzATS THx RAILROAD.-The hbole city has been
on tiptoe of excitement over the question of taxa
tion to build a railroad to Texas; it would no
doubt be a great thing for the city, yes, the
whole Btate. Could such a road be buil, the
value of the rich products, such as cotton, grain,
etc., which would undoubtedly flow in through
this great channel, would be incalculable to us,
by adding new life to our languishing trade and
uniting us more closely with the most prosperous
of States. But why bother ourselves about thete
things now they have been decided by the irre
vocable voice of the people. We have no doubt
when the road is built Moody will be the first to
patronize the telegraph posts along the road, but
for the present he is sausfled and intends selling
his immense and beautiful selection of gentle
men's furnishing goods at prices that must as
tonieh the closest buyers. His umbrella, neck
wear and sleeve buttons are to be sold for less
than cost. In fact, Moody intends having a
grand clearance sale of all these arricles, and a
rare opportunity will be offered to those in want
of such goods. Don't forget the Granite Palace,
