BAYARD TAYLOR relates the following
amusing anecdote in his own experience
in Arabia:
While in Arabia had a very remark
able experience. There is a drug in the
East whose effect is like that of opium :;
it is prepared from the Indian hemp. 1t
is much used by the Saracen warriors
when about to enter battle, as stimu-
lus. 1t produces on the imagination a
double consciousness one part of the
mind seems to study while the other
part looks on. From motives of curios-
ity, was persuaded to try the effects of
it on my own system. | was in Damas-
Gus at the time. Soon after taking the
drug, the effects of it began to appear.
| saw the. furniture in the room, talked
with the company, and yet / seemed to
be near the pyramids of Cheops, whose
blocks of stone appeared to me like huge
squares of Virginia tobacco. The scene
changed, and l was on the desert in a
boat made Of mother of pearl. The sand
seemed grains of lustrous gold, though
my boat ran as easily as on the waves of
the sea, the air seemed filled with harmo-
nies of the sweetest music; the atmos-
phere was filled with light, with odors
and muse. Before me seemed to be a
constant series of arcadeS of rainbows,
through which for fifteen years, seemed
to glide. The finer senses were de-
veloped, and all qualification was single
harmonious sensation. Hence We can
easily conceive the origin of the Arabian
Nights. My companion, huge Ken
tuckian, tried the drug with an amusing
effect. After looking at me for while,
he started up with the exclamation, :. [ m
locomotive, and began to cut off his
words like the puff of an engine, and to
work like the moving of the wheels. At
last he seized the water jug for drink,
but set it down with yell, saying, chow
can take in water into my boiler when
| am letting off steam"

coal mines, that there were no Goals on

coal mines, that there were no Goals on
The property. The seller of the property,
however, insisted tl.at the Goals should be
reserved, unless the purchaser would give
her fl00 for them. This he refused
doing, and the Goals were accordingly ex.
cepted from his purchase, and reserved
to her. The old lady died soon after, be-
queathing the coal mines among the
children of deceased sister, seven in
number, who were all laborers, and the
residue of her property, worth about
$4,000. TO the children Of another sister.
The bequeSt of the coal mines was con-
sidered nominal thing. and led to dis
senSions in the two families on account
OF it. The coal lesatees brooded for a
length of time over their disappointment
IN not sharing their aunt's property with
their cousins, but at length they contrived
20 induce some persons, who were SUP
posed TO have more money than wit, TO
undertake the expense Of boring on the
land, TO ascertain whether there were
Goals or not. The borino continued co.
a considerable time, TO the great amuSe-
ment Of persons connected with colliries;
but at last, to their great aStonishment,
,hc ohagrin of the purchaser, and the un-
bounded delight Of the legatees, two delfs
of the best coal in Lancashire were dis
covered, extending nearly the whole
breadth of the land, and which could be
easily worked. These Goals were imme.
diately purchased by the proprietors of a
neighboring colliery for 100000. On
subsequent borings, three lower delfs
were found, which the same parties pur-
chased for f15,000.

A HERoINE.-A letter from Constanti-
nople, of March 9th, to the editors Of
the New York Observer, contains the fol-
lowing:
A singular spectacle has been witness
cd in the streets of Constantinople to-day.
A Turkish woman in mans apparel,
armed to the teeth and mounted on a
splendid horse, mot SideriSe but otherwise,
according to the manner Of Turkish ladies'
paraded the streets at the head of three
hundred soldiers whom she had equipped
and will lead to the war against the in
surgent Greeks Of Epirus and Thessaly,
at her own charges. She appears to be a
person Of about sixty years of age, and
is said to be unmarried, which though
very unusual circumstance in Turkish
females, is very likely to be true in her
case. She retains the Tdsmdk, Turkish
veil, but wears it thrown back upon her
shoulders.
This incident may serve to show how
terrible spirit Of animoSity and resent
ment is awakened in the Turkish mind
by the untimely invasion Of Roumelia by
the people Of Greece, and how mercileSs
will be the strife when they come to the
g tug Of war" The instruction is wide
ly spreading in Epirus and Thessaly, and
subjects Of the Greek kingdom dwelling
in Turkey (of whom there are said to be
1000 in Constantinople alone are an
ticipating an order Of the Porte banishing
them on short notice from the empire
Such a measure would cause severe los
scs, but in the circumstance could be
pronounced unjust {; especially when the
fact is taken into view, that large num-
bers of those who enjoy the rights of
Greek citizenship are persons belonging
by birth and residence to Turkey, who
have procured by actual purchase a
Greek passport, and then detied the au-
thorities which alone had any claim to
their allegiance. This is an indignity
which Turkey under the dictation Of
European powers has been obliged to
submit for many years past, as well on
the part Of the contemplate little King
dom at her feet, as of the mighty empire
which has overshadowed her in the
North.
