A Tramp’s Philosophy.
A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican says: “To-day a tramp toll
me he didn’t like Connecticut railroads;
it was a great deal harder to steal a ride
than in Pennsylvania, where one could
get on a coal train easily, and a freight
:or passenger train now and then. He
made many inquiries about the state
laws, as the penalties for getting on
j trains and not paying your fare, and was
; anxious to find out whether the Massa-
ebusettes law was similar. He thought
we had “ too many d—d brakemen” on
our roads. The other day a tramp came
to a summer house near Hartford, and
asked for food. The owner of the place, 1
said he would give work, and showed
him his wood-pile. The tramp looked it
over, measured it carefully, and said:
“ No, I guess not; I could probably get a
dollar and food for a day’s work on that.
I can do better on the road. People will
give me food, and, by-and-by, somebody
will give me a pair of boots, and some
one else a )>air of pants —better in each
case than I could afford to buy. The
world has used me so well since I quit
work, that I guess I’ll keep on while.
Achmet Pasha has suicided. He
never smiled after the Russians licked
him at Nicopolis. He dropped and died,
assisted by a razor. Fold his little tur
ban round him, lay his Koran on his
breast; he has cut bis little windpipe;
Achmet Pasha is at rest. Gone to meet

LATE FOREIGN NEWS.
New York, August 25.—The Army
and Xacal Journal has published the
following: “It is confidently asserted
in England from private information that
Osman Pasha is none other than that
celebrated fugitive from French
prisons, Marshal Francois Ochilre
llazaine. This intelligence is by
no moans improbable. Bazaine
was always an active and stirring
man, and the circumstances of his pul>
lie trial in France were such as to shut
him out from a career in any army of
Christian Europe. Like most French
officers of rank, he had served in Algeria,
and in so doing acquired considerable
knowledge of Arabic and of the Arabs.
Besides this
HE SERVED IN THE CRIMEAN WAR
in command of the Foreign Legion, and
afterwards as French governor of Sebas
topol. During that period he naturally
made many Turkish acquaintances, and
therefore there is nothing more natural
than that he should go to Turkey in the
hour of his need. It is no seeret that
Bazaine was a strong Bonapartist, and
that Ins treason to France in the interest
of the late emperor is indulgent
ly loooked u{K)n by the Imperial
government. In Turkey, where Ba
zaine’s master was the best friend of
the Sultan, Bazaine would be received
with open arms by those of his friends,
who knew his value in any capacity as a
trained soldier. That he should have
concealed his identity with the utmost
care is equally natural, and had not war
come it is possible he might have con
cealed it till his death, but war with
Russia, his antagonist of twenty years
ago, could not fail to bring Osman Pasha
in contact with the people who knew
GEN. BAZAINE AS GOVERNOR OF SEBAS
TOPOL.
Whether the secret leaked out through
some English ofucer prisoner in his
hands, or some English or French attache
who had served in the Crimea and recog
nized Osman Pasha, is uncertain, but the
character of his fighting at Plevna, a
stubborn, defensive battle, is curiously
like the first day at Gravelotte, though
the difference of force on the enemy’s
side led him to a happier issue.”
THE BATTLE’S FCRY.
London, August 25. —A correspon
dent describing the battle of Eski-
Djuma says: “ The fury of the fire may
be judged when it is stated that in two
hours the Kussians had thrown 600
shells. At 8 o’clock the Russian in
fantry advanced at a rush, firing rapidly.
The Turks allowed them to cross
the valley, and then ran down
in open order to meet them, charging at
the [joint of the bayonet. The Russians
immediately turned and ran, but, being
reinforced on reaching the brushwood,
returned to the attack. It was a fine
moonlight night, and the operations
made up a splendid spectacle.
THE TURKS CHARGED AGAIN,
and some severe hand-to-hand fighting
1 took place, the Russians being gradually
forced back. Salih and Baker Pasha
kept their men well in hand, taking care
that they did not follaw the enemy too
far, or recklessly expose themselves.
The Russians repeated the attack over
i and over again throughout th Bight*
