THE ARAB AND HIS SERPENTS.
4 Paris correspondent of the ST. Louis Re
publican says:-i stopped to see some Of
The numerous shows which are in full o.

last within circle where an Arab Was
showing off with seven or eight great
serpents. | wanted to turn and 20 away,
but the crowd had become so great that
found | could not move. and was obligel
to remain witness of certainly one of
The most curious and frightful spectacles
ever onerd to the public. The snake char
mer WAS seated on the ground. after the
fashion Of his country. with his snakes
ali around him; two or three Of them
were Of enormous size, amos as large as
L fall grown boa. lie would take them
up in his hands, let them wind around
his legs, arms, body, neck and head stick
out their forked tongues and kiss him on
the hands. The lips. the eye-lids, and pre-
sent their heads Or tails to him, as he
comm4ded them.
While the spectacle was proceeding in
the NEST successful way. one of the l4rg
est snakes slipped of unno;iced by the
Arab, or apparently SO, an dragging it
self along. got out OF the crowd, every
DO 'y, you may be sure, giving him a
clear space. Just outside of the circle
two dogs were playing together. The
no sooner espied them, than he
raised his head; and in another moment
was busy winding himself around the
body of one of the unfortunate animals.
The poor dog really screamed with
fright. 1t was like the screams Of hu-
man being.
The Arab 10 sooner heard It and under
stool the cause. than he got up. went
10 the spot, and without touching the
serpent at all, spoke few words, and
The creature instantly uncoiled Itself !
slowly until it left the dog free, and
assure you one of the canine race never
IAN as fast as that dog did, as soon as he
got loose. The surprise of the spectators
,f this scene knew no bounds, and pieces
Of silver were literally showerl into the
arabs turban.

The CRYSTAL PALACE CLosED.-The Worlds
Fair is over. The Crystal Palace closed to the
public on the 18th, and was closed entirely on
the 10Th, the intermediate four days having
been allowed to the juries to report. When we
look back on the doubtful beginnings of this
exhibition, and consider its brilliant close, we
cannot refrain our need Of praise from those
who projected it and those who carried it into
execution. To Prince Albert, with whom the
design originated; to Mr.. Paxton, who sug-
gested that the building should be Of glass; and
to the various others who assisted in developing
the scheme, the civilized world owes its thanks.
1t was feared, at one time, that the opening Of
the Crystal Palace would be the signal for vio-
lence, lawlessness, and war; Under pretenec
Of visiting the exhibition, foreign emissaries,
the timorous said, would throng to England in
order TO excite n revolution. But these fore
boings were not realized. On the contrary, the
Worlds Fair has been bond Of peace between
nations. 1t has done more to prevent future
wars, by the acquaintanceship it has introduced
between the people Of different nations, than
has ever been effected perhaps in the same in
terval Of time.
The success Of the exhibition continued to
the last. The original estimate Of the number
Of persons who could be safely admitted in the
course OF the day, was about sixty thousand |;
but, in the closing week, the average attendance
was a hundred and four thousand. At first it
was anticipated that on shilling day there would
be difficulty in preserving order. The result,
however, removed these fears. AT no time, in
deed, was the concourse more peaceabe than
when it consisted Of laborers and their families.
Farewell to the Worlds Fairl 1t was grand
idea, and nobly carried out. 1t will be, per-
haps, the great event to which historians will
refer, MS characterizing Victoria's reign. Vast
is the good it has already done, and its infu-
ence will continue yet The civilized world
behods, with sigh Of regret, the final closing
Of this exchange of nations.-Phh. Foe. Bulletin.

To-day purchase will probably be effected
of a site for this institution. Since the Presi-
dents rejection Of Mr.. Smiths place, we sup
pose IL is out of the question.
The contest, it is supposed, will lie between
Col Gilbert Thompson's place, formerly Com.
Porter's,) ON the hill north of this city, and
that of G. W. Riggs esq, near Rock Creek
Church. The former contains about two hun
bred acres, and we understand $4,000 is
asked-Mr. Little, on the adjoining farm,
agreeing to sell portion Of his land, if neces-
sary, to be added. Here, as is known, is the
spot designed for the basin Of the contemplated
water works.
We do not know the size Of Mr. Riggs farm,
but understand his price to be $50, 900.
