An Oriental Story.

The Rev. Mr.. Jessop has written a
book, and two other clergymen have ed
tied it. 1t is all abont women, and it
is funny. Mr.. Jessop was missionary
in Syria, and his book is called ''The
Women Of the Arabs Mr.. Jessop
has two grievances. When he arrived
in Syria he found American missionaries
were already there, and after he had
been there year, he discovered that
the emissaries Of Rome were laboring to
win Syria to the Papacy. ''Monks, nuns,
Papal legatees, Sisters Of Charity, Sis
ters of Nazareth, Jesuits, Lazarists,
Capuchins, Dominicans and Franciscans
swarm the land" They swarmed so
ettectually that Mr.. Jessop had nothing
to do but write q book, and in this
book he tells good story, one so good
that we copy it:
"There was shrine where an ancient
prophet was supposed to repose, his
tomb being kept by a Sheikh named
Ali. This shrine was on hill, under a
big oak tree, and the white dome could
be seen for miles around. Lamps were
kept burning day and night in the
tomb, and if any one extinguished
them they were miraculously lighted
again. Men with sore eyes came to
visit it and were cured. The earth
around the tomb was carried off and
used as medicine. Nobody knew the
name of the prophet, but the tomb was
called 'Kohr en- Nebi,' or Tomb Of the
Prophet Sheikh Ali drove a wonder
ful trade in selling incense, and in re-
ceiving the offerings Of the faithful. At
last his servant, Mohammed, who at.
tended him, became weary of living in
one place, and asked leave to 20 and
seek his fortune in distant parts.
So Sheikh Ali gave him his blessing
and presented him with a donkey,
that he might ride when tired of walk
ing. Then Mohammed set out on his
journey. He went through cities,
towns and villages, and at last came
out of the mountains east of Jordan, in
a desert place. No village or house
was in sight, and night came on. Tired,
hungry and discouraged, Mohammed
lay down by his donkey, on great pile
of stones, and fell asleep. In the morn
ing he awolc, and, alas, his donkey was
dead. He was in despair, but his kind
ly nature would not let the poor brute
lie there to be devoured by jackals and
vultures, so he piled mound Of stones
over his body and sat down to weep.
By came rich Hadji, returning from
Mecca, and asked Mohammed the reason
Of his grief: Mohammed replied that he
had found the tomb Of holy prophet,
and was in sore distress, for he could
not afford to be its keeper. The good
Hadj presented Mohammed with rich
gift, and riding off, spread the news,
and pilgrims thronged to the spot with
rich presents and offerings. AS money
came in Mohammed brought masons
and built = costly tomb, with !. tall
white dome that could be seen across
the Jordon. He lived in q little room
BY the tomb, and soon the miraculous
lights began to appear in the tomb Il

from the New York Post, 2Gthl
A precocious criminal was brought to
Jail at Elizabeth, n. j., last evening, from
Crawford. The prisoner is colored girl
named Sarah Recnes, and the charges
against her are an attempt to poison the
family of John r. Miller, of Crawford.
The girl is but ten years of age, and
was taken from the Poor house at New
ark by Mr.. Miller, ten months ago. Yes
terday morning the family, consisting of
Mr.. Miller, his wife and two others, sat
down to breakfast.
Mr.. Miller's attention at once was at
tracted to the peculiar odor emitted from
the coffee. One of the party who slipped
the coffee was Immediately seized with
vomiting. A physician was at once sent
for
Upon examining the coffee it was found
to contain large quantity of the oil of
creosote. The milk was subjected to a
chemical analysis and was found to con-
tain enough of the poison to kill twenty
persons.
The colored girl was arrested, and con.
fessed that she had placed the poison in
the milk Ito kill her enemies"
In reply to the inquiry as to the mo-
tives that prompted her to kill the whole
family she replied that "she had been
badly treated" She said that her master
(Mr. Miller) had fiogged her with the
butt end of a cowhide, and slapped her.
Mrs. Ward. the jailor's wife, examined
the girl, but only found one or two trivl y
marks upon her right arm.

Few persons knew yesterday morning that
Henri Rocheort had decided TO sail by the morn
ing's steamer, though he announced the fact on
the stage OF the Academy OF Music, on Friday
night. The departure had only been determined
upon during the afternoon and tickets were then
taken per Cunard steamer. N. Rocheiort said to
the HERALD reporter that he thought Of remaining
here some time longer. as he was very much
pleased with the city and the treatment he had
received here. In fact, after his long voyage from
New Caledonia TO Australia, thence TO San Fran
cisco and across the continent here, he had re-
solved to take little rest, and place suited him
so we'll as New York but after few days the old
longing came over him to see his children and he
had decided to stay no longer THIS was the rea-
son why he gave up the lectures which 1t was
supposed he would deliver In Philadelphia and
Boston. In tact, the change OF purpose was
80 sudden that an agent hau already gone
to Philadelphia TO work up the arrangements for
the lecture there. The fact tnat he did not wish
10 deliver the same lecture In Two places had also
something 70 DO with 1t. few friends OF the Illus
trous Frenchman had gathered at the Cunard
steamship wharf yesterday morning at half-pasr
eight. Among these were Messrs. Pelletier and
private citizens 1t was noteworthy that no Com
munst was present and that Messrs. Jourde and
Grousset were not there 10 bid their fellow coun-
tryman bon r0yage. The party waited Impatiently
til hal-past nine oc ock, though the steamer
to start at nine and II began TO be feared that
Rochelort had again changed his mind. At shat
hour, however, he at length arrived IN one OF the
hotel coaches, with his parrot and formidable
number Of trunks he was cordially greeted by
his friends and were NJ. Pain and Benedic,
his companions. They Immediately went to their
cabin. NJ. R0cheiort expressed some nervous
ness at some French nlOuchGrd being on board TO
watch and accompany him TO England. And as
there was stranger placed in his cabln II Is not
very probable tnat that stranger Will fare very
well In the celebrated F-enchmans esteem. Some
time passed before the vessel left, and one by one
his friends babe him goodby. AS the HERALD
porter was about to leave, NJ. Rocheort again ex-
pressed his gratitude Tor the manner he had been
treated In New York. AS the Parthia sailed the
crowd on the dock watched the celebrated revo-
lutonist with great interest and two or three
cneered. He, with his trends, VIII first go to Lon
don, where he meets his children, and thence i'm
mediatey to Geneva, Switzerland where he will
