These stations are helpless, hot, ,oyen.

but at long intervals, for miles in ad.
vance, we could see encampments OF
Arabs who, for the time, had become
|navvies, and were engaged in picking
and burrowing and blasting through
the rocks way for the iron horse. In
. long wooden shed, the centre of a
group of tents, were laid out long ta-
bles, covered with. hot Joints of,recon:
|dite animals, papier maelle chickens,
and Ignite vegetables. This was our
dinner; it had come all the way from
Cairo; so had the wine, and beer, and
spirits. 1t mama and quails were at
ell eatable, we had enyied the food Of
the Lsraelites. BY a pompous fiction
we were induced to draw lots, which
were to determine our places ins the
vans, the passengers being divided
into patches, one for each van. We
looked out on the desert, and 10 !sthere
were seven or eight small vans, resem.
bling Brighton bathing-boxes laid Ion
gitudinally on wheels, to which were
attached creatures Of an uncertain
number of legs, resembling very mnch
Scarborough ponies at the end of the

to fill them all five times over, but we
were told not to be uneasy, and we
quietly settled down to await the mir

CROSSING HEDEsERT,

KasselI, in "My Diary in India,
gives his impressions Of the desert, a.
follows:
''rhe desert on which we debouched
from the rich oasis OF Cairo, even now
glorious mass of green, resembles
the bed Of some deep sea !; not level
and smooth, but corrugated; tossed
into mountains and reefs of sand, seam.
cd with shallow ravines, andenclosias
in the sweep Of the sandhill immense
plains, covered with a gil tening, even
coat of circular and oval stones, vary
ing in size, from niae-poAnd shot to
a grape. How they shine in the sun
flashing back its rays from their pol
ished sides, so that, at times, where
the plain stretches far away to the tu
null on the horizon, it is scarce posi-
bic to believe that it is not a dancing
sparkling sea, which is bounding by
the sid: OF: the railway. This effect
is increased by the waving lines of the
raretied air, which gives to the verge
Of the great circle Of desolation all the
appearance Of rough and rapid tide
way. No pen can describe, no pencil
convey the real sentiment of the dcs
ert.' We watch with the rrofoundes,
interest, q string Of canals, mere
epecks in the distance, which, under
the charge Of two Arabs, are plough.
ing their way over the sand hills to-
ward the horizon, on which stands d
solitary date-tree. With some such
feelings, might the men Of early world
have beheld the first barque bearing
the ro1ur ct as triplec Of hisfr amers
toward the ocean wall, which would
hide it from their sight. The sense o
indefinite space IS first impressed or
one by that which is, we know, definite
enough in actuality. But somehow
or other, the sea is bounded, in ou1
notions. We see it marked out in
mass, and rounded off in terrestrial
!globes, so that it's vastness is destroy
ed; but none of US can tell where this
great desert ends, where are its bounds
how far it pushes its sandy waves in
Ito the heart of the continent. Sil
Ieoderick Murchison may know Bar
ton may be able to tell us all about it
but it is not profitable to remove tn.
feeling Of immensity, of vagueness
and barren grandeur and prim@va
antiquity, which is produced by th'
|sight of the desert whereon the Is
raclites wandered, and where the le
gions of the. Cambysis found namles
cemeteries. To me there is no sens'
of barrennesa produced by the, sea-
the deserts first effect is productive o
the sensation of q world destroyel--.o
barrenness, waste, and lifelessness. =
i Blanched bones of camels lie in dull
whiteness on the sands. Not a blr<

JOHN RANDOLPH'S SARCASM:

Randolph's sarcasm was withering,
and sometimes his very look, or even
silence was annihilating. Q The anec.
dotes told of him are almost sinnumer.
able, and some of them are doubtless
pure inventions. We cannot vouch
for the following, but it is charicteris'
tic. Of the man: l,t'a ,a%2Hh5'rA> T-fss1
- A gentleman once related this to me
which I:have not seen in print. A
member Of the lower House, from Vir
ginia, had recently died. With this
gentleman. Randlph was .o,on very
friendly terms. His, sucocssor, was
elected part: as was said,j from his
holding up the idea that if elected he
would. "chastize John Randolph into
his senses" This, braggart had been
in hisrseat but a few days when he
sought to redeem his pledge by max.
ing a. furious attack. on. the gentleman
from Roanoke. He, was IN the. full
tide Of angry declamationa when the
object OF his abuse entered the House.
Ona,aking his seat he barelyloeked AT
the speaker, and then began. a hasty
persua Of the newspapers and docu
ments on his desk. All expected a
reply, and rare sport, as a matter OF
course, but they were, however
for that time, disappointed. Some
days after, however; when.the Honsc,
the lalobbies and galleries were full,
Randolph obtained the floor to
speak to the same resolution then AN:
der consideration. In the course o1
his remarks, he took occasion to- speak
in the most complimentary terms Of
his friend, the deceased mc,nber,
whose seat was then occupied by his
successor who was a large, portly
man. With inimitable elocution,
which hushed the House into the most
perfect silence, he turned to the seat
occupied BY his rude antagonist, and
said, with his blandest but most scorch.
ing irony, 81 allude to my esteemed
friend from, Virginia, lately deceased,
and sohose seat is still vAcANr!' A,
his incompatible emphasis fell on tn,
word vacant" the dcath.like silence
was dispelled by the most tumultuous
laughter, defying all control and in
which friends and foes alike joined
1t was told me as fact, by an intelli:
gent informant, who had it from. one
who fprofessed to be personally &C
quainted with the facts, that the, effec'
Of this adroit inuendo was SO killing te
the principal victim, that he resigned
his seat in the body in which. he had

that he always borrows money, when

management Of his own affairs, his
printing office is a model OF regularity
and completeness, aud is conducted
with an order a care and an economy
which have rendered it the wonder oi

publicly says that he will fight me

make him keep his word. Let him
commence his preparations, therefore,
as soon as he can, and let him get in
