A certain Capt. Baculard left Marseilles for
China; hut being ! lfeted' by the winds, ne
hauled Up in -arbor Of Iunls' to waie
weather, q collector of the port cam on
boardl apt. Baculard represented that he was
frieghted for Canton, that he had nothing to do
with Tunis, and that he only put in for dis
tress of weather. But the collector exhibited
the manifest that he must fork over. Capt.
Baculard did fork over in rage but instantly
repaired to the palace of the Bey, demanding
justice. al
" Good Frank said the Bey, I" | am your
friend. God is great. What the devil do you
want Of me ?" ~s H.
"Highness," answered Capt. Boo
"your custom house has robbed me. la
forked over-fork back"
Excellent individual" answered the Bey,
" in this country VIXEN we have the dust we
keep it. The original acquisition is a difficulty:
To fork back is q thing unknown to Africa. -"
"But shall | not have justice?"
Certainly, every one has justice in Tunis.
Will you have it in French or 1nnislan
fashion ?" e. J.
"Highness, I have had a law suit or two in
France. Justice in French fashion-God
forbid!
"But ! don't press it or you," Observer s..e
Bey. elf you choose the French after all, l
will speak to your CONSUL He loves justice,
good man three of my subjects applied to him
two years ago for immunity, and they will get
it next year, for he loves Justice"
"French Justice! never ! give me Tunisian.
/ am in a great hurry"
"Be it 50 then. God is great. What is your
cargo?"
"Marseilles soap and twenty thousand cotton
caps" -.
at is well. Go away and be tranquil"
The Bey summoned the yizier. "Vizier,'
said he, '"there is no God but God, and Ma
homet is his prophet. We love justice. We
love the Franks. Proclaim that every Jew
who appears tomorrow out Of doors without a
settle with me-"
There were twenty thousand Jews in Tunis,
and no one single cap in the place. They oil
made their wills, when they learned through
the officer of the customs that Captain Bacu-
lard had lots of the desired articles. There was
enough said. Captain Baculard sold the in
voice at two dollars the cap. He rushed to
the palace and poured out his thanks.
mot so fast said the Bey, " l am not done
yet. Call my Vizier." The Vizier appeared.
" Proclaim said the Bey, " that every Jew
who keeps another cap another hour will have
trouble with you. God is great, and l an
. lineal descendant of Mlahomet."
The Vizier made a grand salute, placing his
leg on the back of his meek, according to the
custom Of the court, and retired. When Cap
tain Baculard returned to the deck he found
the twenty thousand Jews already awaiting
him, caps in hand. He might have had the
caps for nothing t; but DESTROYS to leave behind
him a name for generosity and greatness of soul
he bought them at two cents a piece.

Scientific writers assert that the plumber of
prisons who existed since the beginning of
y 36,627, 1854, 275, 1915, SAG.
divided by 3,096,006, the
y .,noer Of sqlaro'leagues OF land on the globe,
leave ll,320,Gs0.I32 square miles of land,
which, being divided as above, give l, l34,S22,-
976 persons to each square mile. Let us now
reduce miles to square rods, and the number
will be l,o5s,lT 100000, which, being divided
as before, will give 1884 inhabitants to each
square rod; this being reduced to feet, will
give five persons to each square foot of terra
frma. Thus it will be perceived that our earth
is one vast cemetery; 1865 human beings lie
buried on each square rod-scarcely sufficient
for ten graves. Each grave must contain 1913
persons. Thus it is easily seen that the whole
SURFACE of our globe has been dug over 1913
times, in order to bury its dead.
