‘it was bravely done, however, for yon captain of

Tho sultan looked troubled, but did not reply to the
remark,

*Do you not think it was well done by captain
Mafiz?* asked Eswal.

* By this light, it was not,’ replied the sultan, much
raffled.

Esmah saw that her task was doag, and she turned

The sultan was sore on the loss of Alick; he was
naturally impetuous, and bis child's remarks had goud-

heat of his passion hv sent for his chief executioner !

* Your highness’ slave,’ said the officer, making a
profound salaam.

‘You kuow the captain, Hafiz, of the Mahomet

* Highness, yes,’ replied the offiver, bending m the
Oriental style,

* He has displeased us.’

* Highness, your enemies are only fit to feed the
dogs,’ said the submissive official, * What ure your

The sultan pointed significantly to his neck, and nod-
ded to his execationer.

* Highness, Iam your slave!’ replied the man, again
bendiog low before the sultan.

* Prepare me an order, and affix tho seal,’ said the
sultan,

The executioner, who was often and suddenly sum-
moned, drew from the folds of his dress, the desired
articles, and, bending low, said:

* It is ready for your seal, highness.’

This was at once sfixed, and the official retired.

Arissim, supplied with tho usual authority, turned
his steps towards the frigate of which Captain Hafiz
was the commander, The sultan’s executioner is all-

PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR.

Hetena, M. 'T., July 3d, 1867,

Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to take from
us by aovident our esteemed friend, Seeretary (late
acting Governor) Thomas Francis Meagher, who was
drowned at Fort Benton on the night of the Ist instant
by falling from the burricane-deck of the steamer G, A.
Thompson,

Now, therefore, I, Green Clay Smith. Governor of
thy ‘Territory of Montana, do direct that the headquar-
tera of the military which were established under his
direction and authority in the various districts of the
Territory, be draped in mourning for thirty days,

I further request that the offices of the Fedral officers
of the Territory be likewise draped in mourning forthe
sume length of time,

It ia but due to the memory of our deceased friend
and fellow-oflicer, that we should hold him in fond re-
membrance. Ile was a man of high social qualities,
great urbanity, a high order of intellect, » brave sol-
dier, a troe gentleman, and an honor to his Territory
and Government. This sad bereavement will be felt
by every one who had the pleasure of bis acquaintance
throughout the Territory and the nation,

In testimony whereof [have hereunto set my hand
and signature, and the geat seal of the Territory. the
day and year above written, and of the independence
of America the alnety-first,

Gaean Cuay Surrn,
Governor of Montana Territory.

INTERESTING PARTICULARS ABOUT THE
POPE,

The Pope always rises at five o'clock. He at once
goes to his prayers, At six, avalet de chambre is in at-
tendance to shave him, after which he is visited by his
doctor. Atseven he says Mass. He rarely brvak-fasts
before 11, on account of the offices of the Sistene Cha-
pel, and also because he recieves his Ministers in the
morning. Pius IX. very seldom presides at the Coun-
cil of Ministers ; that duty is left to Cardinal Antonelli,
who gives an account to the Pope the same day of the
resolations that may be adupted, aad who submits for
his decision matters of importance. The temperate
habits of the Pope are well known in Rome, A friend
of mine attached tothe Embassy was present last win-

ment that the Irish in the Provinces would be guilty of|
so suicidal a piece of folly.

Mr, McGee, it is confidently asserted, will not receive
the votes of twenty-five Irishmen in Montreal, so un-

dines—a plate of French beans, and three little apples.
This excessive sobriety keeps him in gentle gainy. He
converses very willingly during his walk and after
his dinner, at which his intimates are pesent. prtica-
larly M.de Merode, whom he has been obliged to sac-
rifice, but whom he always sees with great pleasure.
M. de Merode is of a sprightly mind, but somewhat
caustic, and the Pope is oiten obliged to stop him in
the name of charity, which is due to our fellow-crea-
tures. M. de Merode told the Pope a day or two ago
that Monsigneur B-- ., Bishop of——, in France.
when conducting his clergy to the Coliseum, pointed
out to his Vicar-General the spot where Nero used to
view the dying gladiators. His Holiness burst out
laughing. Everyone knvws that the Colisoum was
built on the site of Nero’s gardens, that Vespasian laid
the first stone of it, and that it was finished under Titus
and Domitian. Ati0 the Pope retires to his litle
apartment, the monastic simplicity of which is known
to all the world,

There are two distinct characters in the Pope—the
man and the Supreme Pontiff. The man is simple,
kind-hearted, familiar, accessible, and playful; the

prehend that where the gonios and t,/ent of a country
are happily in unison with its bouest industry, and
strong arms and hearts, an educated, wealthy, strong
and powerful community or nation may contilently be
looked for.and that a combination of talent and industry
is required to produce this result, still, from our kngow-
ledge of the case, we cannot resist exprossing the con-
viction that we are, after Emancipation, which con-

justice !
