M. Francis, U. S. Minister at Athens, Greece, writes to the Troy Y Tivxea as follows: 11 A few years since there lived in Be- p' bek, u village on the Bosphorus some li six miles above Constantinople, an el- tl derly Greek gentleman named Tchelby Yorgaky. He was the possessor of some property in real estate, and a sufficient li income was derived from this source to ^ supply the moderate wants of himself ^ and his amiable wife, leaving a balance more or less which was distributed for fr charitable objects. They had no ohil- J1' dren. The venerable couple were very happy in each other's society: they had few i.ntimate associates outside. But m among these was a friend of ours, an q pitlinaiif Aniprinnn aifivon trim fnr anmo time resided near their dwelling in Be- ?, bek. One day our friend was invited jr to spend a social evening with Mr. Yorgaky, the latter saying that if agreeable, he would on tliid occasion relate Q| some facts of his family history which might possibly prove interesting as ^ constituting a strange chapter of real rp life at the East. Our friend promptly ^ acoepted the invitation, as any live Yankee would have done under this g stimulus to curiosity. The old gentle- 1 man's statement?and our friend vouchsafed for Yorgakv's character for truthfulness, after an intimate acquaintance with him for many years?was substantially as follows : My father's name was Yohannis Giros. His father carried on the. bakery bnsi- * ness. At quite an early age Yohannis . was employed as bread-seller at his father's stall near the Egyptian bazaar at Stamboul. There he made the acquaintance of a Turkish boy of about ^ his own s.ge named Ibrahim, who was gj employed as salesman in his father's tobacco shop close by. A remarkable rfriendship grew up between these two boys. All their leisure time they spent i"a each other's society. They indulged g in cnnrfc fnnrntlinr TMiptt tnllrprl nvpr plans of business by which in future years they might not be separated a single day. They would achieve fortune, ^ and share their wealth together. These were the day dreams of Yohannis and JJ Ibrahim, time wore on. The boys ^ had attained the age of 17 or 18 years. j Ibrahim's father secured for his son a re situation as tchiboukgi (pipe-bearer) to the Pasha of Bagdad. This was great y honor for a boy in humble circumstances. cj But Ibrahim did not desire the place, for it would take him far away from Yo- w hannis. Parental decision, however, was omnipotent in the case, and go he ? must. But before separating the boys had a long conference together. "I ^ must go," said Ibrahim, "but I shall p return to Constanstinople as a pasha, ; / and then you will share my honors and ^ fortune." The separation of Yohannis ^ fl.'nd Ibranim was painful. When the ft, final adieu was spoken, each pledged jj the other that his friendship should re- tj main constant so long as life endured. Yohannis sorrowfully returned to his C) business at the bread stall; Ibrahim accompanied his master on the long jour- ^ ney to England. Years passed by ; Yohannis succeeded l. to the humble business of his father on the decease of the latter ; he married, and was blessed, as the poor are so often blessed, with many children. By steady Rj industry and strict economy, he was I barely enabled to support his large 1 0 fnmilv onmfortablv. His mind fre- ! a. quently dwelt upon the scenes and j ^ loves of youthful days, and the Turkish boy Ibrahim was always a central figure ^ in these memories. A dozen years prior ; to this time he heard that his dear friend i of boyhood's days had died, but the f(1 memory of that friend was reverently cherished by him ; one so dearly loved cj in the fervor of youth could not. be forgotten by the generous-hearted Yohannis, even amid the cares und struggles of a life of toil. One afternoon, while partaking of his frugal meal, and surrouuded-by his lov- w ing family, Yohanuis was startled by ft) the appearance of ft very unwelcome ! e: visitor?the chief police officer of the | rj Sublime Porte. The official announced j rt to Yoliannis that he must accompany ft him immediately to the Porte. In those i b barbaric days such a summons meant c< condemnation and death, often without it any assignable or known cause. Yolian- hi nis aud his family were terrified ; they tc pleaded for delay. Bujt the officer was ?< inexorable"; Yohannis was" dragged s< away amid the piteous cries nnd plead- si ings of his wife and children. Arrived at the Porte, the officer conducted his prisoner through a long hall with ai guards stationed on either side, to the p: oor of an apartment, where at a giv?] gnal the door opened and Yohannif as at once brought face to face with the rand Vizier. "This is our sublime master, the rand vizier," said the officer. Yohanis immediately prostrated himself be>re that august personage, nnd comlenoed pleading very earnestly for hit fe. " Spare me, sublime master, spare le," he ejaculated: "spare me for the ike of my innocent and dependent ife and children, if not on account ol iy innocence of all wrong-doing. Whj jould I be brought here to be made le victim of the bowstring or the axe ' have been a good and peaceful sub set of his majesty ; I have earned breae] >r myself and family by honest labor have wronged no man. Let me go, ad you shall have their blessing ant iy prayers in return for your mercy, FI am killed they will die, for thej innot earn bread to support life." " You cannot go back to your busiess," said the grand vizier, calmly. "Then, sir," responded Yohannis ir more resolute tone, "the blood of ar inocent man and his family you art liout to murder be on your garments le avenging power of Almighty justice ursue you, sir, to the end; your crime mil not go unpunished." "Yohannis," responded the grand izier, "arise and answer my quesons." " Yes, sire, sublime master." " When a boy you served as bread iller for your father close by the Egyp an bazaar ?" " Yes, sire, and I now keep that same all" " You had a friend named Ibrahim ho attended his father's tobacco shoi jry near you ?" " Oh, yes, sire ; oh, yes," answered ohannis, nearly overcome with emo on. " And you and Ibrahim, on parting ledged each other to friendship foi fe ; Ibrahim saying that he should re lrn some day with the honors and ealth of a pasha, and he would share ith you the benefits of his position ?" " Most truly you have spoken, subme master} but this was long ago, ad poor Ibrahim?I shall soon nuel im in a better wold than this?luu een dead this many, mauy years." " lbr.ihim is not dead,' said the rand vizier ; " he lives and is in good ealth ; he remembers Yohannis Giros ; e never forgot the pledge made to him t the time they parted ; and now h( as the ability and determination tc take good that pledge. Yohaonif iros," exclaimed his excellency, rising om his seat and extending his arms, Yohannis Giros, behold in me youi iend in boyhood, Ibrahim the tobacco' ;ller." The two embraced and kiR*ed each ther; tears flowed freely. Yohannif as almost crazed by the mental reno on. He sobbfcd and cried like a child, hb great heart of the grand vizier waf lied with gladness. As soon as tht notion awakened by this excitinp :ene could be controlled, Ibrahim said > Yohannis : " Now you are appointed to a respon ble post; you will be my sarof lanker). You will at on#e receive youi utfit of dress. When properly attired o hence with the attendants of mj ;aff to your home and tell the good ews to your wife and children. The orse and equipage suitable to voui ink are ready for you. You will al nee be provided with all the means re uired to place your family in a posi on becoming the dignity of youi ituation. Attend to these duties tc onr family first of all; close up youi ttle business, and then report to m< >r duty. Yohannis and Ibrahim arc united; the pledge of boyhood is fill lied. Great is the Lord God, and [ahomet is His prophet." Yohannis was then arrayed in the littering uniform of his rank ; a beau ful Arabian charger handsomely ca nrisoned was furnished him, and witl ersonal Servants and a guard of lionoi e rode rapidly to his humble dwelling i Stamboul, having been absent litth tore than two hours. The family conic jarcely credit their own senses wlier ohannis reappeared so wonderfully lianged externally, and with his retin e of attendants. They were oversonn ith joy. The scene can be better im 5ined than described. From that day >rth they enjoyed happiness and pros erity. Ibrahim's course had been this 'rom the humble position of tchiboukg >r pipe-bearer) so the Pasha of Bagda* e was successively promised to b< lerk, secretary, anil Keyhn Bey ; ther * Pasha, subsequently as Pasha o agdad, succeeding his former master ?en as Pasha of Aleppo, and finally, ii 'cognition of his great ability and sue ?ssful administration of affairs, he wai ppointed by the Sultan as Grand Viz ;r of the Turkish Empire. " An,l fViia " oni<l Hia nld frpntlemar > my friend at Bebek, " is the tru< ?ry about my father, which I promise*' ) tell you, and which, I think, present! a example of sublime fidelity in friend iip. As I bless the memory of my no le father, so also do I bless the mem ry of his benefactor and friend, tin ue-hearted Turk Ibrahim, once th< oy tobacco-seller at Stambonl." I have given this narrative as relate* ) me, without embellishment.

The Manual of tko Railroads of the United States for 1S73-1874 gives an ini teresting summary of the workings of this colossal interest for the past year. It shows 67,104 miles of railroads to be , in operation, of which 6,427 miles were t opened the past year, and 33,934, or > more than one-half, since 1863. Ex' tended statements of the cost, earnings, 1 expenses, &c., of 426 different compa' nies are given, embracing57,323 miles of ' line?the balance of the mileage, 9,781 ' miles, being made ap of roads only re centiy or partially completed, and which, ' Consequently, made no returns of their I operation. The cost of the mileage p (57,323 miles) of the roads whose operal tions are given, is 83,159,423,057, made up of $1,647,844,113 share capital, and r $1,511,578,944 of various forms of indebtedness. Their earnings?of which $132,309,270 were received for transportation of passengers, and $340,931,785 i for freight?amounted tp $473,241,055, 1 being fifteen per cent, on the whole in' vestmeut. The operating expenses for : the year were $307,486,682, or sixty-fiVe s ner cent, of the c-roSs recemts. The net * earnings were &165,754,3751, or thirtyfive per cent, of the gross 1-eceipts, I equaling 5 2 per cent, of the whole in* vestment. The cost of the roads averaged $55,116 per mile; their earnings $8,256 per mile, and $11.76 per head of population, estimated at 40,232,000. The earnings of the roads of the different sections, Of course, differ greatly, s the most productive roads being those of the six New England States, the ? earnings of which, the past year, were > $48,519,835, or 21.10 per cent, on a cost of $230,609,794. The cost per mile of I the roads (4,574 miles) was $50,418; the - earnings per mile, $10,636; the earnings per head of the population, estimated ? at 3,586,000, $13.53. The number of r inhabitants to each mile of road was 709, I The cost of the 11,617 miles of road 5 in operation in the six Middle States equaled $922,700,774, or $79,427 per mile. Their earnings were $169,205,802, ? or 18.30 per cent, of their cost. The t earnings per mile were $14,565, and > $15.86 per head of population. The number of inhabitants to each mile of ! ro'ad was 792. ' For the ten Western States and their I contiguous territories, the cost of thd 1 28,778 miles of railroad in operation 5 was $1,472,625,232, or $50,550 per mile. * Their earnings equaled $193,826,258, or 1 13.10 per cent, of the cost. Their earn ings per mile were $6,735 ;.per Wead of . population, $13.76. The number of in" habitants to "the mile of road was 490. The earnings of the railroads of the New England States were 21.10 per 1 cent, of the gross cost; those of the ' Middle States 18.30, and those of the * Western States 13.10 per cent. The comparatively unfavorable result for the 1 West is due simply to an excess of mile5 age to p?pulation. Should no more ? roads be constructed there for the next ' five years, the investment would probahlv show as well in the West as in the East. f * Conversational Powers of the Indians. [ The conversnlional powers of the InI ilians, sajs a writer, are very great inj deed. Among themselves, when not f placed upon their gnard by the pres1 enco of strangers, they are unwearied talkers. I speak now of the full blood r Indian, whose native tongue is said to > be well adapted to narrative, descripr tion, and declamation, and whose habits > and temperaments lead them to be very j communicative. About one-third of the - Cherokees use the English language I with grace arid elegance, but generally among the masses the English is im5 perfectly spoken, many slight depar. tares from English standards being no ticeable. Yet they are generally critics, i taking notice of any inaccuracy of lanr gunge in the conversation of a white r perso^. A stranger delivering a ser3 mon or lecture is rigidly criticised ns to 1 language, matter, and manner, and is i at once placed in comparison with their j own ideal, which has been formed from - intercourse with the whites, as well as ? from a careful study of the best English - classics. Their manners are very much r like those of our people, only their men - are not so gallant as ours. They seem not to be actuated by so many sinister : motives, nor do they seem to have so i much policy as do our polite young 1 men. , Value of Unwashed Wool. f Since the introduction of wool-wash ' ing establishments has rendered it possible not only to have wool washed, but a also to sell unwashed wool, and thus - avoid the trouble, as well as the danger to the health of the animal, of the washi ing previous to shearing, it lias become ) of importance in fixing the price of un1 washed wool, to ascertain with exacti nesa the actual loss by the washing pre. vious to the shearing. H. Goedeck - carefully selected average animals from - his flock of Negretti and Rambouillet j half -bloods crossed, and subjected small j portions of wool, clipped about the middle of April, to the usual process 1 for washing sheep, with the following j results: t These numbers, he remarks, will nni doubtedly be affected by breed, fodder, - pasturage, Ac.; but he suggests that the - publication of the results of similar ex. periments by others, accompanied by description of their flocks, will in time ufford a basis for the estimation of their sheep.

Turk er T The Vendetta Among the Arabian*. Few people, probably, are aware, tj,e ^ says a correspondent, that the vendetta as G is as popular among the Arabs as among from the Corsicans ; but such is really the cose. I have heard of instances in eTen{ which a family feud was kept up to the ceedi fourth or fifth generation?kept up, in tiller! fact, until one or other of the hostile families was extinct. As a good illus- econ, tration of how the system works, I will finer tell you a story with regard to the fam- less ily AWade, which inhabits the land of ^.ec? Berber and rules over the Corsican pas- tliut sago in the Nubian desert,between Berber and Koraske? p ~ In the second decade, after the Turk- ^a8h ish invasion of Soudan, about thirty-six *1I!tte ?- " * 3 *ii tainr years ago, wn:ie ine siern iueuemeu mi , ntill held the sceptre of Egypt with iron de811 hand, the Turkish Governor Abbas Aga Hon8 ruled in the province of Berber?a man J!fnd stern and just, as the treatment of the wild inhabitants of internal Africa and ,e' the political condition of the newly con- 8?in quered country at that time demanded. ?* Abbas Aga at one time undertook a e7e8 journey of inspection into the neighbor- 81Te ing province of Taka. The chief of the flow' Ababdes, an Arabian named Chalifa, J11 fj took advantage of the absence of the *'!e' ruler to restore his former sovereignty "im in his own country. He assembled 4,000 8eve cavalry, stormed the chief town Mu- '?"n cherif, murdered the Turkish officials, 8U.?. robbed the Treasury and declared himself legitimate sovereign of the coun- j^18 Abbas Aga was at Gos Redjeb, with 400 soldiers and two cannon, when he d received information of the Insurrection. JrorB He quickly retnrned with his escort back to Berber, the Chief town of which the insurgents had meantime left, hav- T ing entrenched themselves at Gemneta, 11 close to the hill, behind a wall. Abbas tory Aga hemmed them in, and shot them an e down to the last man. Not a soul was jn c] spared. Ten thousand spearsmen re- , , mained dead on the spot, among the P rest the chief Chalifa.' His brother, PPUfi Buraka, stepped into his place as chief the of the Ababde. Peace and order were arao1 thus restored for some years, till Abbas mPr Aga died. On receiving the news of the ,nak death of his faithful servant Mehemed the < Ali ordered the brother of the deceased, with Suliman Aga, to go from Cairo to Ber- the I ber to take possession of the property the and to bring the fumily that had been It is left behind to Cairo. Suliman Aga came 118 tl to Berber, obtained possession of the ther property of his brother, and finally )"pa(> brought his family, four boys, who had 1 scarcely passed infaucy, and their may mother, through the Nubian desert that fr?m "Rnrlipp fcn Knrnsko. As Suliman Gr l Agu wns the deputy of the great Mehe- the med Ali, aud us besides he was entrust- take ed with the transport of the Btatechest, nailk he was accompanied by seventy or fed 1 eighty soldiers. The caravan road is in con< the hands of the Ababde, and Baraka K?0( collected there camels and men of his or h stock. This journey was the last op- taki: portunity of avenging the blood of their te chief and their bretliren on the blood eniP relations of the murderer. The deed of any vengeance arranged and resolved upon Pur( was no secret. an e About half way through the desert w'ie the caravan encamped at midnight, in ?f? 1 the valley of Suir, and, being fatigued It by their journey, the travelers careless- lacti iy gave themselves up to sleep. The free well known quietness and security of care the desert may have been the cause why to n Suliman Aga, notwithstanding that he duct had much money with liira, was so im- asso prudent as to fix no sentries over the Iron camp. In this valley the hand of vengeance was to strike. The Ababdes, who, when traveling, are armed with , swords, fell upon their enemies while they were still sleeping, at two o'clock PM' in the morning, and killed Suliman Aga, the together with ali his followers. In a ?? few minutes the eighty persons were dead. wftS The young children and their mother Con were spared, since the custom of the *'ie vendetta can bo exercised only on men. n,K The property of Abbas Aga and the derf State chest fell into the hands of the t.V'ti assassins. The children were brought back to the banks of the Nile, and there tury exposed to their fate, and the Arabians Sc?' disappeared with their plunder into the W,J" interior of the desert. Thereupon the memorable Mehmed Ali ordered the ^'r ( Governor of Soudan, Ahmed Pasha, to cut 1 send the head of Baraka to him ami to extort the plundered heritage and the a^e State chest to the lust farthing from the family of Ababde. crari Ahmed Pasha fitted out a suitable ex- *'ire peditiou, with the order to pursue to ^.rh^ the last drop of his blood Baraka, who, bug after the above-mentioned uffair, hud ^l0 fled into the territory of the neighboring family, Bischarin.

His of p thirst for vengeance was not, however, foul satiated?the immense sums he had to shoi pay. the blood of his father, of his tion uncle, and of many thousands of his latu stock, called aloud for vengeance.

It was in this inition/and almost a quarter of a cenago, that a desperate fellow named ;t was confined for fifteen years. He determined not to work, nor to subto any of the rules, and shortly af?ntering the institution he neurly off his left hand to avoid doing any r. But his wound was immediately nded to, and in less than an hour af ard he was engaged in turning a ik with his one hand. For this he atened to murder the warden on the opportunity, and in some way gethold of a ruzor he sharpened it for dread purpose. Hearing of this, Pillsbury sent for him and comidod him to shave him. He eyed man steadily, seated himself in the r, and the operation began, the oner's hand trembling the while. ?n the shaving was finished, the suntendent said : 'I have been told mennt to murder me, but I thought ight trust you.'
