An Arab Tradition,

A writer in tho Overland Monthly re-
lstes the following: j" This tradition which
I tell you" said Reis Hassan, AZ many
centuries old. It states there vas in
Parable . temple built up Of precious
stones Man dare not utter its splendors.
Deep in tho midst of Eden it stood, angel.
built-a dazzling sanctuary. Our parents
sang their vesper songs in tho twilight
shadows Of ito courts: for there wera
pillared halls and cloiaters of emerald
and pearl, whore fountains sprapg aloft in

A Nonstreus Blunder.

A comical story comes from Paris,
tho authority being . correspondent
Of tho Pail Mall Gazette. The Shah of
Persia when in Paris, went to the
Jardin des Plantes, and was very much
pleased with what he saw there, and
with the courtesy of the Directors 20
much so, indeed, that he made notes of
the names of the men of science, with
the view of remembering " them, in
the sense in which people who hope to
get something ask to be remember.
3D." The other day His Majesty's
compliments arrived, in the shape of
''ions,," and "suns," and other Cor
ders," !" which count for good deal in
Persia. Unhappily, the Persisn mon
arch somewhat dashed the pleasure OF
the /" decorated men of science" by an
awkward accident. He had noted down
the names of NM. Goedrey, st. Hilaire,
Milne Edwards, and other savants !;
but, in company with them, he had
also written the names of some Of the
+" extinct animals" whose relics are
preserved in the museum and unluck-
lily the two sets of names got mixed up
together. So it happened that when
the men of science received Persian
decorations, 20 also did the megarther
ium, the dinotherium, and other
"fearful wild fowl" Of the same char
acter. "s & :

Triplet Happiness.

In Scitusts, in this State, there dwslls q
family Of tziplets who recently celebrated
their seventy-sevsnth birthday. They
have always lived in their native place,
and are the happy fathers of largo and
vigorous families. The brethren have
dwelt in harmony ever sinse their infancy
and the wo:ld has proapsrsd with them.
Happy tziplets, who never had IN elder
brother to boss It" over them! Who
could, from ohildhood's earliest hour, wear
each others boots and clothing; whose
boards allf oame st the same time, and
who were never obliged to stay at home
and mind the house beosuse any ono 0i

paags Of envy in The ternary bosom
caused BY seeing QUE Of tho family induct:
ed into jackets and pantaloons while the
others had to remain in bibs and frooks
One could not taunt tic othsf because bin
face did not call for the use of tho razor
They evidently all wore tho knees Of thei,
trowsers out at the same time, % that now
clothing appeared simultaneously upon
the backs Of all three. This ID q very
happy state of affairs to reflect upon, and
almost makes ono yearn to be . triplet. Il
certainly has its disad vautages, because
ono cannot have . big brother to fall beol
upon in great emergencies Of q pugilistis
nature; but this is fully oounterbalanced
BY tho other peculiarities Of tho situation

4 Royal Foundry.

A Cleveland lady, travelling in Eu~
rope, writes ~ follows to the Cleveland
Leader, concerning Z visit to tho ROYAL
foundry at Munich:
1--WE went to the Royal foundry at
Munich, whore all, or most of our best
statues in bronze have been cast. Here
We saw the models Of everything which
has been sent to America, and many
which are being made to send. Among
the latter are two tsoldiers' monu-
ments,' one for Michigan and one
for Massachusetts,, both Of which arc
very fine. We saw the whole pro.
cess of taking the cast from the
model or rather manner of doing it,
Also the place where the molten metal
is run into the form. / am not sur.
prised that bronzed, monuments and
statuary should cost 90 much. Il ID
. tedious operation from first to last.
We saw the model of our beautiful
bronze doors in the Capitol at Wash.
ington. From the works where il wa
made we went to see the largest bronze
statue in the world; Bavaria, placed
Just out Of the city in . public ground.
It stands upon q granite pedastal thirty
feet high, the statue itself being sixty.
six feet in height. Seventy
eight tons Of metal were uset
in the casting of it, consisting en-
tirely Of cannon captured invar, most
" from the Turks at the battle Of No
vsrino. A stairoase within the figur,
leads to the head, where eight person,
can comfortably sit at the same time
The cost Of the statue alone was ninety
seven thousand dollars. For this, ant
almost all the works of art and place
of attraction, Munich is indebted :,

captivated by Lolo Montex."

A Warning 70 Youne ladies'.

Colonel Thomas Turner, of Mount
Sterling, Ky, en- arriving at hotel in
Winchester, Tenn, recently, was con-
siderably surprised to be met by a
strange young lady, who threw he1
arms around his neck and kissed him.
He had scarcely recovered from this
salutation when a second young lady,
very handsome, evidently sister 81
the first, also rushed after him and
greeted him in q similarly affsctionate
manner. Then the blushing colonel
drew back, and wanted to know j
there were any more and what it all
meant The young ladies took second
and closer look, gave little scream Of
dismay, and disappeared. They had
closely resembled Colonel Turner, and
now he is going from hotel to hotel
looking for young ladies who are ex
pecting uncles.

A Curious Statement,

A correspondent Of the Country Gen.
tleman has discovered that, az law OF
nature, every spotted dog has the end
of his tail white, and every spotted cat
the end of the tail black. He says he
has examined many dogs and cats in
France, England and America, and
always noticed the same result. Our
former Minister to Japan, Mr.. Harris,
first mentioned the fact concerning the
dog in q letter published some years
since. He has looked at many paint
ings of dogs in the galleries Of iPsris
and elsewhere in regard to this, and
found even there the dogs spotted,
always in order, proving to him that
the artist had invariably copied after
nature. -'.. ..
