Fancy a low-roofud cottage, with a smooth, green lawn, a wide-spreading a ple-titse with rustic seats beneath its branches and patches of bright flowers keie and there, aii 1 you have tho pleas ant home of Dr. John Laurence and his sister Mary. It was located in a quiet, retired street iu the grow.ng town of Tip Top. True, t was aoinswhat out cf ji!a-r among the ha:iilsoni.-, iu leni in msu.iis on either si hi, but the doctor, i!i 1 not care for that, for it was Urn l t houin s.ead ln.1 lowed by the reollecii ns ol bohood jit -sed with dear j arcut!, iro 'ol e awav forever.

One tine summer's nioiuing the doctor tn i uis sister wero seate I at tlio bi-cak- fast-talile iu a c y rooui looking out upon the brown-stone limine next door; as tue uoctor sipped his cuflee lemurely, rejoicing that the office-bell remained so long quiet, his sister remarked: "Die, the brown-stone is occupiod nt last th ere is a middle aged gentleman, a lady, and servants." 'xlave you been over taking n-Jtes, or interviewing!" inquired her brother; but without answering, she rushed to the window, and,, hastily closing the blinds, jieeped curiously out. Thei-e, in full view, standing upon the low balcony of a side window stood i woman evidently not very youthful, but very attractive one of those queen ly forms and faces which do not depend upon tha accessories of the toilet to make them charm ng. - "What an elegant woman '" exclaimed the doctor, also gazing out from over his sistei's shoulders. "A living Cleo patra. Sh's in perfect keeping, too, with her grand surroundings." '"She seems to be taking a close sur- ey of our premises an I, no doubt, lespises our humble cottage. I wonder who she isT" "Or,4-ather, xchal she is," replied her brother, opening the blind-, and de fending from tlie iiazz.-i to the lawn.

Evidently riches were heaped up for her use the magiiiiicent fee the doctor received continued this opinion, aud "perfectly fascinating, was his comment as he left the house. The fates willed it that he repeated his visit very soon, this time inquiring for Misi Sebright, becoming even more fascinated than before. One day, while indulging in a fit vf absti action, he was startled by his sister remarking: "Doctor Joan, can you guess our roy al highness' age? She seems to bo verg ing upon old maidism, unless, indeed, that rollicking young man, who visits her frequently, is her intended." A lovely woman like Mtssbeabi iijht cannot lack for suitors. Oh, iuvi. lions Mary, I confess that I am not unwilling to preseut her with the prefix of Mrs., but, remember s!ie is an heiresn, aud 1 cannot endure even to b thought a for tune hunter."

I nsked hira what there was in the general talk that Judge Key was only a figure-head. hile F.rst Assistant P. M. G. Tyner had practical charge of the Department. He replied that there could be no more mistaken impression ; that Key was the real head, and, in bis opinion, the most thoroughly able, practical, honest and non-partisan man that had been at the head of the Detriment in his experi ence, which embraced the administra tions of Cressweli, Jewell and Tyner. He described Jewell as a diplomatist and a courtier, a man who studied affa bility as an art and practiced it for an end. He spoke of Mr. Tyner as a man whose air and manner, in all his officiid relations, expressed an iiurepub'.ican omnipresent consciousness of the great g"'f between a cabiuwt rennet - and an ordinary mortal, while Kry "tia' i ti- tex lT eonjios ol .vty Jist;n-t:o;i (! f,r ,,1:lt auy nrero-'ativcj save the iia-.i-ised br otlicial duty; that. :is fsr ks ike De- parttneut at Wasbirigtm was concerned, K colljj J OTe.- Jvafr lr ft two-thii-Js majority, lisi-ai'listeiuding the fact that lis is known to b?

Thi3 -will appear more remarkable wheu it is remembered that it was a very insignificant post office, and that he has" to survey the fluid or appointments, not only in ray division, bjt in all the Siafces." - There have been sweepiug changes in the postolfices throughout the South since the advent of tho present Admin istration, and the offices have, in intiny instanccs, bosu tilled by Democrats, but this has not been done for partisan ends; in many instances there have been' no eligible Republicans for tha places. The idea that has controlled appointments has been the good of the postal service, and not the good of any political party. Thera were many other things said, and incidents cited which I have not time to relate, and I give the above as matter of interest about a public man whose posi tion is unique, from the facts thut ho has never risen t prominence through the usual gradations, and holds his 'res ent position from his pulitical enemies.

C. A. S. E1Z1! KEDIFItTS. A r:!iy alary Bellied by tie '-Array aad Savy Jeoranl." New York, August 24. The Army ami Savy Journal to-day publishes the following: It is confidently asserted in England, front private information, that Osman Pasha is no other that celebrated fugi tive from French prisons, Marshal Fran cois Acbiiie B.izaine. This intelligence is by no means improbable. Bszaine was always an active and stirring man, and the circumstances of his public trial in France were such as ahut him out from a career in any army of Christian Europe. Like most French officers oi rank, he had served in Algeria, and in so doing acquired considerable ktiowl e l-'o of Arabic and of the Arabs. Be sides this he ?rved in the Crimean war in command of the French Legion, aud afterward as French Governor of Sebas tonol. During that period he naturally ma le many Turkish acquaintances, and therefore nothing is more natural than that hu should help Turkey ia her hour of r.r-iil. It- is no secret that Bszaine was .-. rir-ig BonapartLst, and that his treas-Ki I France in the interest of the late Kmp.-.or is indulgently looked upon by t!;rj Imperial Governments. Iu T:itker, where B.izaines master was the if.it friend of the Sultan, Bazaine would bo received with npen arms by those of his friends whs knew the value, in any capacity, of the trained soldier. That be shout 1 have concealed hu identity witii the utiiio.-t care is equally natural, aud bs 1 not the war come it is possibl -. th-z he nr'ght have concealsd it till his death, but the war with Russia, his an iig onLt of twenty years ago, could not Vd to bring O-im-m r-isha in contact with people who kue . Geaera! Bszaine, Governor f Solnt.sto.iul. Whether the secret leaked out through some Russian uflicer. prisoner in bis hands, or some jljiiglisb or Fren h attache, who had served in tho Crimea, and reeognized O .mm Pasha, is not certain, but the character of his fighting at Plevna, a stubborn, defensive battle, is curiously like the first day at Gravelotte, though the .diffeience in t!.e force .of his ene mies lei him to a happier issue. SIACT Ql EE OF SCOTS. The annals of the world furnish af fecting examples of the instability of human condition. J3:it the whole his tory of mankind does not, perhaps, fur nish a greater, a sadder reverse, a more striking and eppalling contrast, than Mary at sixteen nud Mary at forty-five. At the former period a being on whom nature seemed to have showered her choicest- gifts ; the loveliest person, the most fascinating mind; the bride of the heir-apparent tothecrown of France, the heir-apparent to the ihrone of Eng land, the Queen of Scotland ; with the whole uf the Catholic powers of Eu rope her allies ; one with whom a vete ran statesman, delighted to converse, and in praise of whose charms the poets of the aje contended ; at forty-five worn by disease, her frame though not her noble spirit broken by a long, a severe and a merciless captivity ; proclaimed as au adulteress and a murderess ; for saken by her friends, execrated by her subjucts and disregarded even by her only child ; condemned, after a mock trial, to an ignominious death. She might exclaim, in the words of the holy man, "O, all ye that pass by the way, attend and see if there be sorrow like unto my sorrow !" Hiatm-ical Scraps.
