About four in the afternoon We reached
the station Of Stoora, tired and hungry,
where We descended to rake. as we
hoped, a good dinner. For many hours
we had been comforting ourselves with
the prospect Of this meal, to cheer us
after SO much tribulation but one
glance at the repast spread before us
dissolved these fond expectations, and
we sat mournfully down, resolved to
accept our fate, and comforting our
selves with the reflection that every one
in this life is doomed to eat a peck of
dirt, and concluded that it was as well
to take the whole amount at once as to
consume it in detached portions. As
we were sitting down, a lady Of our
party remarked that she strongly sus-
pected our tab e-eioth to be Sheet.
Of course we hoped that she was de
ceiyed but afterwards had undoubted
proof ehas she was right-for on my re-
turn to Beyrout, few days later We
had occasion to spend the night at
Stoora, when the article in question did
duty on my bed. and in the morning
performed its daily function. This APP
petizing discovery caused US to believe
that our host was an Italian, which
proved to be the case; and we sent for
him with the intention of venting our
wrath upon his devoted head. But the
moment his dirty yet benign face APP
peared in the door, we abandoned
our resolution, and turned the matter
off by making inquiries in regard to
the possibility of finding horses at his
station to take Us to Baalbek in a few
days.-From "RaDc55ings an the ORR

A lady, speaking of a gathering &
lawyers to look at the new courthouse
said she supposed they had gone "to
view the ground whore they must

When a man can't walk straight he
says he's got corn on his foot. L

POLITICAL NOTES.

SAKE the poet says that he ran twice as the de-
mocratic candidate for Governor OF Vermont and
came within one OF being elected each time That
was the candidate who ran against him.
The Louisville INSTRUMENTATION never
ornts an opportunity 10 give a rap a. tho Beccncr
famysays 1t does not believe the story OF its New
YORK correspondent that "Mrs. stowe did her great
sensation on wager Of champagne ana cigars;'
and remarks that "she neither drinks nor SMOKES"
SO far as that Is concerned she is far purer than any
New York ward politician.
An exchange remarks that Anna Dickinson can
MAKE delicious bread. and adds:-Let her do it, then
Better that than reserve all her crustiness iof hes
foes. Dough, dough
The spirit of the press in Tennessee 10 decidedly
opposed to the proposed new party movement IN
that State.
Dorsey 3. Thomas Is spoken OF pretty generally Tor
Speaker OF the Tennessee State Senate while others
are urging the name of Edmund cooper.
The Iowa State election occurs in about six weeks,
and some republican papers are complaining that
do not come up squareIy to the scratch ID sup
porting the party candidates.
Republican papers in Illinois rebuke the lethargy
in the party in regard to the coming CONSTITUTIONAL
Convention, ana aver that democrats are secretly
moving to overreach them 10 shaping the funda-
mental laws Of the State.

cpal eye in 1t seems directed toward the oaves
and fishes.
The Chicago Times revlves this little bit of history,
which should be taken In connection with the late
Gettysburg failure:--
Some years ego bill was before the United States
Senate making appropriations Tor decorating the
national Capitol. Senator Sumner moved prOvsO
that there should be decorations designed TO COM
memorate victory by Americans over their country
men. As this was while civil war was raging and
the passions Of the people were stirred TO intensity
the motion was an eminently patriotic one Qld met
the approval OF the Senate.
democratic exchange says John A. Bingham,
'ibetter known as Gorgeous Bingham, has taken the
stump In Ohio, and his admirers have great hopes
that he will do something towards staying the de-
sertlons from the republican ranks in that State"
