ROMANTIC MARRIAGE OF HOBART PASHA.

(A T eic York World.) The news by cable of the death of the la'e Hobart Pasha was the ‘ fiiiis’toas romantic a career as ever formed the subject of a story, and not the least roman'io chapter of it was the Pasha’s second marriage in 1874 It sounds like the plot of an English novel, and the heroine of the third volume still lives to mourn the loss of the hero.

Hobart Pasha, as the papers told, when the story of his death came across the wires, was the fourth son of the Duke of Buckingham and a distinguished naval officer before he entered the Sultan’s service, and rose to Mahommedau hono s and dignities that no Chrfstsln had ever b ‘fore o l tiined. During the eerily part of his career, while he was still in the English sen ice, a brother officer of his was so seve e’y wounded 'hat the surgeon annou' ced to h : m the mortal nature o' his li jor ■ • The tying m<n sent for the future Pasha to whom he was greatly at ached. and confided tc him a sjc et. F!e had mtrrled a girl who was of rather humble parentage, and because of his family’s opposition the marriage had been kept concealed and the girl rested under a stigma. A child had been born to them just btfore ho left England, and now that he was about to die he was anxious that it and its mother ohou’d be r'ghttd in the eyes of the world. Complications as to its proof had arisen by the death ( f witnesses, but he trusted io hit friend Hoba't to repair his fault. ‘lf you will pledge your honor for the tin'll cf the marriage,’ he said 1 the wand will believe you, and you will believe me when I swear to yon that i- is so.’ When Hobart, now become a Turkish officer, returned 1 1 England, ho ondeitcok t> comply with the request of bis dead friend, but ths yi«cg mother, under the weight of her grief and the equivocal position she occupied, had followed her husband, and the dead man’s relatives, when he at last discovered the child, refus'd to acknowledge it Nothing was left to him but to take care of the little orphan himself, so he accepted the charge with what grace he could muster, and when ho lift England, as he did soon after, he placed her at a famous school for gitls iu the Die of Wight where so many English women of rank have gotten their training and education. Then he went beck to his duties and thought no more about her except to send an occasional letter full of good advice, with boxes o? Turkish sweetmeats and trinkets. When she was seventeen years old he got a letter from her full cf pea* sionate misery, and stained with tears. Some of the girl’s enemies had discovered the mystery about her biit'’, and taun'ed her with it, and she wanted him to come and taka her somewhere, anywhere , away from girls who were cruel. So the tender hearted old soldier put himself aboard the next steamer for Home, and got h ! s little protege, though what he was to do with her he didn’t know. She was young, she was pretty, she clung to him with tenderest grati ude and love, and the hearts of even bronzed, grey-moustached old soldiers are not proof against that, and o, as that, after all, seemed the quickest and simplest solution cf the trouble, and they both wished it, they were married. And now, at twenty-nine, she Is left to mourn the loss of one of the most brilliant and daring commanders England ever produced,
