Schamyl and the Circassia as.
WARS WITH RUSSIA SKILL. AXD HEROISM
OF SCHAMYL TOWN OF SUKUM KALEH
CHARACTER OF THE PEOPXE.
Sukum Kaleh is a fortified seaport in
Circassa, on the northeastren coast of
the Black sea, and about 100 miles from
Batoum. It was once a place of some
importance, and is supposed to be the
historic Sebastopolis. It was captured
by the Russians in 17G1, and its deca
dence has dated from that time. The
region about is sparsely settled, the
whole province probably not contain
ing more than about 100,000 souls. Re
cent dispatches reported that a violent
combat had taken place there, the Rus
sians being driven out. Ten thousand
natives joined the Turks, while the town
was set on fire by them, and the fortifi
cations seized. " All the surrounding
country," says a dispatch,." is rising in
support of the Turks." Further reports
of Russian repulses have also been re
ceived. Eight thousand troops, 1,500
Circassians, 50,000 rifles and some moun
tain batteries have been dispatched to
that country from Constantinople to aid
in an insurrection in the mountains of
the Caucasus. In the meantime it is re
ported that the second son of Schainvl,
who lives at St. Petersburg as an officer of
the imperial guard, has been sent to the
Uircassian country to iaic3 part in appeas
ing tho rebellion which has broke out
there. It is also curiously stated that
Schamyl's eldest son hai been sent out by
tho Turks to command the Circassians
It will therefore be a matter of interest
to learn of the remarkable career of
Schamyl and of tbe tribes whoso chief
tain he was for twenty years.
The people of the Caucasus have long
been known as a warlike, adventurous
and semi-barbarous race. This region
is about 700 miles long, and varies in
width from sixty to 150 miles. No other
country on the globe contains so many
different nations or tribes. In Strabo's
time seventy dialects were spoken. At
present there are more than 100 Pers
ian, Turkish, Finish and Teutonic words
beLier amoncr those that are found, lhe
prevailing religion is the Mohammedan,
but Christians are numbered among
them. For a century and a half they were
split up into an infinite number of clans
or pettv tribes, when the ajrjrression ot
Peter the Great incensed them into or
ganization, and in 1785 tho encroach
ments of the Russians had-become so
great that the war cry was sounded, and
it has seldom been silenced since. Tho
Russians have, on the other hand, been
greatly incensed at tho barbarism shown
toward the Christians of Georgia. In
1761 the Circassian leader was made a
prisoner and put to death. War follow
ed more bitter and desperate than ever.
One of their chieftains, thirty or forty
years ago, after years of hard fighting
against the Russians, fell at Him ri, with
all aim friends, except one, dead around
him. This young survivor wasbchamyl.
He was thirty-seven years of age, said to
have been a silent and earnest man,
learned beyond his people, and believ
ing himself inspired from Allah. They
afterward called him "The Prophet
Warrior of the Caucasus."
His survival of the great conflict at
Himri had so much of mystery in it for
his people that he was regarded by them
with reverence, and not long afterward
he was again the sole survivor of a bat
tle, and eventually established himself
in full and complete authority over the
people. He made his headquarters at a
place built upon almost inaccessible
rocks in the mountains, and fortified it
with trenches, earthen parapets, and
covered ways. So great did his power
become against the Russians that in 1S3G
the Czar Nichols, irritated by his bold
ness and defiance, sent a powerful army
against him, with orders to capture Scha
myl alive or dead. A great battle was
fought, in which the Russians sufferod
enormous losses and Schamyl's force
was annihilated, but Schamyl himself
escaped. But it was a V4 rrhie victory.
Every tribe in the Caucasus was enrag
ed and in arms against the czar, and
helped to strengthen the cause of Scha
myl. He adopted tho guerrilla system
of warfare, and in that the mountains
nd ravines gave them further aid. The
Russians could not cone with him. He
continually encouraged them to croess
tho boundary line, and when they had
entangled themselves among tho moun
tains and ravines, the Circassians would
shoot them from the overhanging rocks
above. On one occasion the Russians
made a formidable attack, but were re
pulsed with a loss of 2,000 men. The
czar was greatly mortified, and sent an
other army and a new general. It was
nearly annihilated, and the general
prince came near being made a prisoner.
Schamyl then assumed the onensive,
and 1818. 1850 and 1853 made irruptions
into Russian territory, atone time driv
ing them back eight leagues. After the
Crimean war Russia renewed operations
in the Caucasus, and continued them un
til lSof. Her army seized the Circas
sian stronghold and drove Schamyl to a
mountain fort, near the Caspian sea.
Here he made a last desperate struggle,
but was captured and taken to St. Pet
ersburg a prisoner, where he received
considerate- treatment. The country
was conquered at least Russia consid
ered that the Georgian Christians would
no longer be persecuted and peace has
since prevailed. In 18G1 about 200,000
Circassians removed to lurkey, and
made their home on the western and
northwestern shore of the Black Sea.
English eulogists of those people have
called them the handsomest, bravest and
noblest of mankind; others have pictur
ed them as semi-barbarous bands of out
laws, living entirely by plunder, given
to polygamy, and selling their daughters
in lurKish markets to the number,
sometimes, of 1,000 a year.
Schamyl did not remain long in St.
Petersburg. Russia assigned him a resi
dence in Kaluga, 100 mile3 from Mos
cow, with a pension of about 8,000. In
January, 1S70, he went to Mecca, Arabia,
and soon afterward to Medina, where he
died in March, 1871. JVeic York T ribttne.

Hanging by tho Heels. A Hair-rais
ins Scene at a Charon In x ranee.
A Paris letter savs: The authorities of
Soudan, near Chateaubriand, recently
desired to remove the rusty cock that
surmounted the church steeple. A sla
ter was engaged to do the job. He had
gone two-thirds of tho way up, when.
losing his balance, a3 he tnrew tne rope
which was to enable him to climb high
er, he began to slip dawn the lightning
rod with fearful rapidity, lie was JU
feet from the ground when he began to
loose hold. He fell to tho steeple's bal
ustrade, bounded on the church roof,
rolled dowll it and fall to the ground.
He got up with no bones or skin brok
en, but so bruised and jostled he could
not again think of attempting to climb
the lightning rod. Another slater took
his place. Tho second slater, after try
ing in vain for half an hour to pull him
self up to the cock, in making a more
violent effort, broke ono of his stirrups
or supports, and fell, hanging head
downward, oie foot resting in the stir
rup which still held good. He was one
hundred and fiftv feet from the ground
when this accident happened. He could
be seen making desperate efforts to re
cover hold of the knotted rope: arms
and one leg made convulsive gestures as
he strove to release himself from his
painful and dangerous position. To
add to the horrors of the spectacle, the
wind blew with great violence, and the
poor fellow swayed to and fro, and was
at times in danger of being dashed to
pieces against the steeple. At length
Lis strength became exhausted and he
fell into a swoon. From tho ground ho
seemed lifeless. A third slater went to
his assistance. Time aud again the
third slater seemed on the eve of suc
cess, but time and again the body of the
second slater fell with all its weight,
leunuiiy birainiDg uie rope, aud sway
ing in tne air with dreadful oscillation.
After striving for forty-live minutes, the
third slater was obliged to give up in
despair; his strength Avas completely
exhausted. A fourth stater volunteered
to attempt, to rescue his comrade. Ho
climbed to the second slater, secured
block and tackle, fastened a roue around
the second slater's body, cut the stirrup
rope, and at last lowered him to the
ground. Tho latter had been three
hours in tho air dangling by on foot,
head downward.
Hari Karl The Dance Before Death.
Some curious details are given in the
Japanese newspaper, the Tchoya Chim
boun, aa to the manner in which some of
the "aristocrats of the old school" in
that country, who were condemned to
death for the part they took in the late
.insurrection, but who preferred hari
kari to decapitation, spent tbe last hours
of their lives. Four Samourai insur
gents of Koumanote, who escaped on
the twenty -fourth of October, assembled
at the house of one by name Youemara,
for tho purpose of ending their exist
ence by the "hap2y dispatch" in his
hospitable dwelling. Before giving
themselves over to death, they gave
themselves over to a regular jolification
drinking, dancing, and singing, as
though on a festive occasion. Their
hostess, without any wish unnecessarily
to curtail their enjoyment, with much
tact and good feeling advised them not
to keep up this revelry too long, as the
police could hardly fail to hear the dis
turbance caused by their .songs and
dances. They turned a deaf ear to her
kindly warning, and continued to drink
and umuso themselves for the whole
day, sayiug that if the "shizohu" ar
rived they wpre prepared to fight them.
The hours thus passed pleasantly away
until sunset, when the party arrayed
theui3elves in the robes which, accord
ing to the old Japanese fashion are ap
propria'e for the ceremony they were
about to perform, ai.d, having offered
up their prayers to the gods, happily
disjiatched themselves without further
ceremony.

Lost and Forxo. A gentlemau walk
ing one day along the shore of Hastings,
lost his ring. We think he was stretch
ing after a dog in the water; but at any
rate tho ring slipped off and was not
found agaiu. A year after it is even
said on the very anniversary the gen
tleman was again strolling along the
shore, when a fisherman ran after him,
inquiring, "Did you drop this, sir?"
holding up to him his own ring, lost 12
months before. A gentleman bought an
umbrella, and, taking it in his hand,
put down a sovereign in payment. Pres
ently, the bill having been made out,
was presented; but when the shopman
put his hand forth to take up tho coin,
it could not be found. The gentleman
thought it extraordinary the shopman
equally so. Tho former was sure he
had deposited the coin, the shopman
was equally certain that it had not
reached his hands. What was to be
done ? It ended m the gentleman again
paying the amount. Some little time
after tho gentleman was again in the
shop, aud being there, took occasion to
ask if the sovereign had ever been seen
again. "No," said the young man, "we
never found it." Just then the gentle
man, opening his umbrella to 6how
what ho wanted altered (some trifle or
other) , gave it a shake, when out rolled
a sovereign, the very one of course so
long missing. The strangest part of it
is that the umbrella had been constant
ly in use since the day it was bought.
Chambers' Journal.
The Emperor William. A youthjof
19, Prince William of Prussia, entered
France with the allied invaders of 1815.
He lodged in the house of a well-to-do
citizen at Dizier, who had a pretty
daughter. With this damsel, Ange
lique Barnier, the youthful Prussian
struck up a tremendous flirtation, and
when he marched away to Paris, left
written on the pane of her window, as
well us the "red tablets of her heart,"
these words in German: "I love thee.
William." More than half a century
rolled away; and when, in 1870, the
Prussian Guard3 rode into Dizier, An
gelique Barnier, a stout matron now,
received certain of their officers into her
house, and showed the precious souve
nir, still glittering where the Prince's
diamond had scrawled it. The story
was too good to keep, and it traveled
from lip to lip till it reached the royal
headquarters. King William went di
rectly to the house and presented him
self before his old sweetheart. "Ange
lique," he exclaimed; "who could have
dreamed you would kiss and tell?" The
matron, in confusion, began to txcuse
herself, when the gallant old King
caught both her hands and kissed them
perhaps not quite so tenderly as of
old and said, laughing: "Ah, well, my
soldiers know that boys will be boys!
And. Angelique, I have never forgotton
you."
