What is Arabia?

Aralia is not what Englishmen hahitualIy
conceive it TO he. a mere sandy desert, fla
AS sands generally are, traversed 10y bands of
haIfslarved horsemen, with but two lit
sacred cities, and port which an English
frgate can reduce to reason by lombard
ment. 1t is vast, though secluded peninl
sua. with an area of 100000 square miles,
greater than that of Europe west of the
VistuIa-greater, that is, than the territories
of four Of the five Powers, with Germany,
Spain, Portugal, Greece, Scandinavia, Poland
and Italy added together This enormous
region, so far from beinga mere sandy plain,
is traversed by high ranges of mountains,
filled with broad plateans many Of them as
wide as European kingdoms, and full of mag
nifcent, though dreary and awe'inspirng
scenery. The highest Arab tribes-and the
point is one too often forgotten-are noun
taineers; share in the fervd imagination,
the brooding and melancholy thought which
have in all ages distinguished men bred on
the higher regions of The earth. Even the
aridity of the soil of Arabia, though great,
is, as a political fact, seriously exaggerated,
partly because the districts nearest to civil
alton are the worst, partly because travellers
select the winter for exploratons-a time
when even the fertile plains of Upper India
look lediously desolate; but chiefly because
the European mind has difficulty in realzl
ing territorial vastness, or comprehending
how enormous may be the aggregate of
patches of cultivation spread over peninl
sula like Arabia. When, some two years
ago, the Governor of Alden was permitted to
visit Lahej, he, filled like all other English
men with the "idea" of Arabia, was startled
to find himself, only few miles from his
own cracking cinders, amidst pleasant corn
lands and smiling villages, in which dwelt a
population showing every sign of prosperity
and content There are thousands of such
spots in Arabia, to which the eternal boun-
Diary of the desert blinds all but the keenest
observer National RevieW.

Turn Out all the Traitors.

The Senate Of the United States, it is con-
ceded will expel Jesse d. Bright, of Indiana,
from the Senate, for having in March last,
written a letter of introduction for Mr..
Lincoln to jeff Davis, in which letter he
gave Jeff his assumed title OF "President of
the Confederation of States" This letter is
sufficient evidence Of Brights disloyal;y, in
the judgment of a majority OF the Senators
to warrant his expulsion. But while the
Senate has its hand in, would it not be well
to turn out other traitors that it harbors
within its walls? John p Hale has present
ed petitions for the dissolution of the Union
Charles Sumner has time and again uttered
sentiments of disunion nature; he has ur.
ged, with Lane, the violation of the Consti
tuition, and advocates emancipation in direct
conflict with its provisions. Our own Sena
tor, Ben. Wade, upon more than one occa
sion, has given utterance to views, which in
the "purer days" would have been pronoun-
ced "treasonoble. If the Senate goes into the
expu sion business let even handed justice
be done on all sides! The people begin to
believe that the AboAtionists arc the allies
of the Secessionists, and regard the one as
being as reasonable as the other! Purge
the Senate of all those who have no regard
for the Constitution.

Old Enemy.

AT the next election the Democracy O.
California will be called upon to meet ar
old enemy under new and plausible name
The same enemy, under different disguises
which it has grappled with and defeated fol
so many years, is still in the field. That en-
envy is Abolitionism and it shows itself, in
the Legislature, in the pulpit, on the streets,
through its organs, in boIder, more defiant
tone than ever. 1t has enlisted in it service
and received the encouragement of Abolition
Democrats, who now, since it has attained
power and has offices at its disposal are no
longer afraid or ashamed to avow their true
sentiments. In Congress Abolilonsm de-
mands the emancipation of four millions OF
blacks Immediately, unconditonally, by the
exercise of war power, under the untenable
plea of "State necessity" In the Cabinet it
insists upon EARNING the slaves" and Aboli
ton Democrats of this State say, "all right
90 ahead!" Can anything be more uncon'
s,ilulional and inhuman than such policy?
Is it calculated to encourage loyal Southern
men and strengthen the Union cause! Will
freeing and arming the slaves" bring back
to their allegiance the Confederate States!
DO the Aboltioniss desire them to form
once more a part of the Union? Judging
from their sentiments and their acts, they do
not. How necessary, therefore, for all who
wish "to maintain the Constitution and to
restore the Unon,' to unite to defeat that
sectional and dangerous Abolition party.

CAR1Boo ELEpHANT.-A man who has
lived in the North mines, says that in all his
travels he never met with cariboo, but
he frequently "saw the elephant peculiar to
that region" We suppose it is generally

From the Providence Gazette, 1922.
OLD CRIMES.

Tune-"John Gilpin was citizen.'
Old Grimes is dead-that good old man
We never shall see him more;
He used to wear an old blue coat,
Az buttoned down before.
His heart was open as the day,
His feelings all were true;
His hair was some inclined to grey
He wore it in que.
When e'or was heard the voice of pain,
His breast with pity burned
The large, round head, upon his cane,
From ivory was turned.
Thus ever prompt at PHYS call,
He knew no base design
His eyes were dark and rather small;
His nose was aquiline.
He lived at peace with all mankind
In friendship he was true
His coat had pocket holes behind;
His pantaloons were blue.
Unframed the sin which earth pollutes,
He passed securely DER;
And never wore pair of boots
For thirty years or more.
But poor old Grimes is now at rest,
Nor fears misfortune's trown
He had double breasted vest,
The stripes ran up and down.
He modest virtue sought to find,
And pay it its DESERT
He had no malice in his mind
No ruff1es on his shirt
His neighbor he did not abuse,
Was sociable and gay;
He wore large buckles in his shoes,
And changed them every day.
His knowledge hid from every gaze,
He did not bring in view
Nor make q noise town-meeting days,
AS many people do.
His worldly goods he never threw
In trust to fortunes's chances;
But lived-as all his brothers do
In easy circumstances.
Thus, undisturbed by anxious cares.
His peaceful moments ran;
And everybody said he was
A fine old gentleman.
Good people all give cheerful thought
To Grimes memory;
As both his cousins. Esek Short,
Who made this poetry.

Express says it has somehow leaked out that
when Spain took the nitiatory steps to seize
St. Domingo, Mr. Seward boldly presented
the proud Castilian with a decided protest
Spain replied by asking, "Do you intend to
threaten us?" Mr.. Seward, in bis most bland
manner, said, Oh no. and, as usual backed
down. A call has been made by Congress
for the correspondence relating to the inter
ference of foreign powers in American affairs
Mr.. Seward replies that he does not consider
it compatible with the public interests" to
let Congress have this correspondence, and
it will probably be omitted in the next pub
!shed volume of bis diplomatic dispatches.
