THE TOILET OF A bride.

On subsequent and perseVering inquiry
among Arab ladies, found out how it was
that the brides face looked so lustrous. /
learn that girls are prepared for marriage
with very great deal of ceremony. There
are women who make the beautifving of
brides their especial profession.
a widow woman, named Angelina, is
the chief GrttSte in this department of art
in Haita. She uses her scissors and twee
zers freely and skilfully to remove super.
tuous hair, and trains the eyebrows to an
arched line, pertecting it with black pig
ments. She prepares an adhesive plaster
of very strong sweet gum, and applies it by
degrees all over the body, letting it remain
on for minute or more; then she tears it
off quickly, and it brings away with it all
the soft down or hair, leaving the skin
quite bare, with an unnaturalIy bright and
polished appearance, much admired by
OrentAls The face requires very careful
manipulation. When women have once
submitted to this process they look fright
full if from time to time they do not repeat
it for the hnirnever grows so soft and fine
again. Perhaps this is one of the reasons
why aged Arab women, who have quite
given up all these arts of adOrnment, look
SO haggard and witch-like. In some iu-
stances this ordeal slightly irritatcs the
skin, and Perfumed sesame or olive is ap-
piled, or cooling lotions of elder-flower wa
ter are used.
The bride invites her friends to accom-
pany her to the public bath previous to the
wedding-dG and sends to each one pack
ct of henna, two or three pieces of soap,
and two wax candles. Angelina is gener-
ally the bearer of the message and of these
articles, which are always to be paid for.
have now and then accepted such invita-
tions.
Bridal parties assemble and sometimes
pass three consecutive days in the luxury
of the Turkish bath. Pipes, sherbet, cof-
fec, and other refreshments are served, and
songs are sung II honor of the bride, who
is, of course, attended by Angelina, and
forms the centre of attraction. Her hair
is unbraided, she is slowly disrobed, and
then, with her loins slightly girled with
crimson silk, she is mounted on high clogs,
and led through halls and passages gradu-
ally increasing in temperature, with fouu-
tains Overhowing their marble floors she
is placed on q marble platform, near to a
jet of hot water; fuller's earth is rubbed
on her head she is lathcrcd with soap, and
brushed with handful of tow, then hot
water is poured over her freely, she is
swnthed in long towels, and by slaw de-
grees conducted back to more moderate
temperature, and lastly to n fountain of
cold water. Her companions in the mean
time undergo the same process. Then,
shrouded in muslin, Grape or linen, they
sit together, smoking, till they are rested
and refreshed

HAREM INTERIOR.

Miss Rogers gives very bright and life
like picture of the interior of Ghc harem
of Mohammed Bek Abdul, the Governor of
Azzebh, whittier she was invited:
They pouuced upon me as if were a
new toy for them. They kissed me one
after the other, and stroked my face
They had never seen European, and told
me that no daughter of the Franks had
ever entered the town before.
They said: awe welcome, oh sister from
n far country: this house is yours, and we
are your servants" Then they asked me
with whom, and how, and whence l had
came? The ladies were full long trousers,
made of colored silk; short tight jackets,
made of cloth or velvet, embroidered with
gold; and flowers and jewels in their head
dresses. The servants wore cotton suits,
and the slaves red cloth. They wondered
to see my great long, dark riding dress and
hat. told them l wished to change my
clothes as they were wet.
The boys went to order my pOrtmanteau
to be brought to the Precints of the harem,
and then two slaves fetched it. AS soon
as had unlocked it, the ladies, servants
and children, one and all, began examin-
ing its contents. In a minute or two it was
actually almost empty. Mantles, morning
and evening dresses, nightgowns and coll
lars were passing from hand to hand, and
as the uses of them were not known, they
were put on in all sorts of fantastic ways.
One of the girls took little lace collar
and placed it tastefully on her forehead !;
she thought it was part of headress /
was very much amused, but was obliged
to put stop to their mischief, by telling
them to put everything back into the box
they did so directly. 1 had already dis
covered that Arab women are like chill
dren; they almost always submit immc-
ditNtely to gentle but unhesitNting firm
ness.
Then dressed in the same room; for
they said they had not any other for their
use. fancy it was because they wished
to see all my clothes ind how put them
on, theirs being SO very different from ours.
They told me that wore too many dresses
at the same time. They wear only shirt
of thin cotton or Grape made high to the
throat, open at the bosom and with long
wide sleeves. Very full trousers, drawn
in and tied round the waist and below the
knee, but falling in graceful folds nearly
to the ground; and an open short jacket,

how English parents educate their chill

Werdeh said, "Itis much better to marry
and to stay at home than to travel about
the country, for the dangers are great now
in this time of war, and the women should
stay at home"
Sit Sara said, 'Werdeh has spoken wise
ly, why do you not marry 2"
answered, ''Ya sitti, there are no men
of my country here; how can marry?"
Sara then said, "You speak our language
like stranger, but sweetly. An Arab
would take you. Why do you not marry
an Arab 2"
I replied (very much amused): .'My
mother is not here to find II husband for
me. How can marry Z" l thought this
would settle the question at once in their
estimation; but Sit Sara said "I will be

living camels kept rs curiositics, in house

AT this theyaIl laughed loudly, and cried
"Oh, most marvclous!"
Sara continued: care your fathers OIL

still more surprised. Sara said: sYour

Lest folks may think your tale Untrue"

The idea of soldier having heavy,
thick overcoat loshed to his back, on the
21St of July last, that burning hot Sun
day, when even the Fire Zouaves threw
away their short jackets, on account of
the excessive heat, is stretch of proba-
bility that seriously interferes with our
eredulity. We take it for granted that the
story is lie, manufactured as the over
coats were not, out of the whole cloth.

The Removal OF Judge Humphreys.
There was a meeting of East Tennes-
seeans tonight, for the purpose of desig-
natiug a suitable person TO fill the vacan-
cy caused by the removal of Judge Hum
phreys by the judgment Of the Senate
today, The meeting was attended by
the most prominent men OF Tennessee,
and was presided over by Parson Brown
low The Hon. Bailie Peyton, promi-
nent Unionist, and who was a Member of
Congress in Gen. Jackson's administra-
ton, seconded the nomination of Col. c.
f. Trigg, of Knoxville, to fill the vacancy.
The Hon. Horace Maynard was depu-
tized to acquaint the President with the
voice of the meeting, and TO request the
immediate appointment of Colonel Trigg,
that Uniouists might hold the Courts of
Tennessee, and punish the Rebels. Col.
Trigg is an old and tried Unionist, and
became a refugee on account of Rebel

Rebellion. II is noteworthy that on the
very night in which Parson BrOwnlOw

Emancipation In Maryland.
Reports from this interior of Maryland
are very encouraging as regards the pro-
gress Of the emancipation movement.
From all quarters of the State the intel
ligence is that a party is growing up in
favor Of acting upon the principles Of the
Presidents gradual emancipation resolu-
tion, and the prospect now is that this
party will be stroug enough to carry the
State at the next election.
We hear for instance TO-. day from Dor
chester county that the largest slave
holders in the vicinity of Cambridge are
in favor Of emancipation, believing that
it will free the State from the incubus
under which it now labors.
