Gypsy SPIDER DANCE.

Adee's 'Types of Castilian Vagran-
1cy,p in the January number of Llppin-
COTS Magazine, contains this graphic
little sketch:
"a strolling band of gipsies have
made their way to Madrid from their
savory haunts among the orange groves
and Moorish ruins of Andalusia. They
have pitched their tents just outside the
Arch of Carlos Ill, in the vicinity OF
the bull-shambles, and are now fixed for
at least, and at most, a fortnight They
came to town with one eye to business
and the other to thieving. But very
picturesque and comedy are they here
and everywhere, singing and dancing
and sitting among the rocks. There
are men and women, children, in plenty,
too, but they are left at home, wherever
that may be. The men are habited in
breeks, shirts, jackets, leggings, sashes
and round pork-pie hats, all of brilliant
tints; the women in kirtles, waists, gay
shawls and snowy stockings, with their
black, glossy tresses thrown back and
decked with a bright ribbon or flower.
The men have guitars and bandolins,
the women castanets, which they rattle
bravely. They are about to tread the
may measures of the dance in concert.
Away starts the music of guitar and
castanet. Quick as lightning the wo-
men, brown and beautiful, catch upI
their skirts between their thumb and
forefinger, and bound into a waltzingI
action sideways without turning Those
of the men who have not instruments,
caught by the infection, spring forward
and join the women in the same wild
movement Clang go the guitars and
bandolins, and click the castanets
Swaying, stopping, gracefully keeping
time with head and body, twisting, og-
ling, making at each other, gliding CO.
quettishly out of reach, whirling, dodg- |
ing, now gently, now iiercely, with here
hate, there fondncss, and always the
delicious tythm Of motion and music in
it, these wild, handsome people person
ate all the mad infAtuation Of passion
in its very fruition. Ii is the terrible
"TarantuIa,' the spiderdancc. full Of
subtle poison 10 the sense"

ABRAHAM AND THE ARK-Two colored
preachers were in the same pulpit to-
gether. While one was preaching he
happened to say, "When Abraham built
the ark" The one behind him strove
to correct his blunder by saying out
loud, abraham warn't thar" But the
speaker pushed on, needless Of the in
terruption, and only took occasion short
ly to repeat, still more decidedly, 81 say
when Abraham built the ark" "And
say" cried out the other, abraham
warn't thar" The preacher was too
hard to be beaten down in this way,
and addressing the people, exclaimed,
with great Indignation, 81 say Abraham
was thar, or thar abouts!"

MARK TWAIN, writing about Boston to

and so be respected"

"PRoFEssoR," said a studentinpursu

ways at once"

Reporter What do you think of TIL
Ku-Klux bill?
i Beauregard-We in the South lool
upon it as another political trick, gottel
up to sustain the Radical party in it,
Ihigh-handed usurpation in the South, {
mean subterfuge without excuse, palli
alton or reason. The existence of {
Ku-Klux organization in Louisiana is Sc
unreasonable and impossible that ever
the negroes laugh at it. There are nc
more Ku-Klux in the South than there
are in your Northern cities of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia or Chicago
IT'S by such means as these that the
Radicals have deceived the people Of
the North and the negro of the South
and so retained power
Reporter-How is the Radical ascend
ancy maintained in the South?
Beauregard-Principally by misrep.
Iresentation and deception. When the
carpet-baggeys first came South the ne
groes were made to believe that they
were each to receive forty acres of land
and a mule, and are even now deceived
with equally absurd stories; but the ne
groes are beginning to find out their
true friends, and were carpet-baggers
away we should have no difficulty with
the colored people,
Reporter-What are your personal
views upon the New Departure" as it
is called? Do you look upon it as avail
able in the South?
Beauregard-It suits me, sir. | favor
it as the nearest and best road to Dem
ocratic success. 1t meets my views as
being progressive. am tired of living
only for defeat on obsolete issues. The
Democratic party must place itself in
the van of progress ii it would be vic
torious. Let the past go We want
