pisuu;on Hints.

The traveller Buekhardt relates curious
custom of the Arab guides on the journey to
\ ada. 1t appears tia. whenever they bring
the solitary tourist to peculiarly desalate or
dangerous locality, they demand gratul,v,
and By way OF enforcing the cxtortonate
movement, they fashion rough little sem
bIance of a tomb in the sand, placing a stone
8, either end thus limiting the fatal consequen-
ces of refusal. Buckhardt says that he
liked his psysiculsr guide 50 we'll that hs did
not give him the trouble of going through this
ceremony when he first asked for his gratuity,
but handed him what he thought sufficient
for the whole trip But coming in a short
time to another dangerous pass. the guide
had the auiaeity to renew his request, and
accompanied il with the solemn httle struc-
ture on the ground. Whereupon, the trav-
ejer dismounted and gravely made mate for
the miniature tomb. remarking tina. as he and
his guide had been friends IN life, 1t was not
fl that they should be separated in death
AT this. says Buekhardt. 'the guide burst
out laughing and nothing more was said
about the matter"
This trivial narrative IS not so very unlike
the incidents which are always likely TO ac-

with their whims, is apt 10 be duplicated in
the speech ola Free Soil champion, and tnen,
as if the retort gave complete satisfaction,
things move forward harmoniously. Thus.
during the recent discussion in the Senate,
Mr.. Hammond, Of 5. G.. showed the superior
power Of the South 10 outlive disunion. i'm
plying that event would prove the grave Ct
the North. But Mr.. II amin of Maine, with
much CRATER p.ausibilty, showed that the
danger of fatal consequences would be clearly
on the other side. Upon these presentations,
Senator Criltenden. a Southern gentleman,
considered that the two sections could not get
along without each other, and never ought
