The women of the Arabs.

From Scribner's for March,
There is an Arabic proverb which
says: A man can bear anything but
the mention of his women" Perhaps
in no language on the face Of the earth
has hard public opinion been more
densely erystallized, or more sparkingly
expressed, than in this single utterance.
II any true Moslem is obliged to allude
to female, he invariably prefaces her
name with the depreciation, which is
chosen as the title of this article.
"Ajellak Allah" means-May God ele-
vate youl That is, in this connection
May divine grace or power put you out

mention: Saving your presence, sirP
1t is related that there once came to
the study of Dr. Van Dyck in Beyroot a
Mohammedsn Mutt. One of his wives
was i'll, and he wished for medical ad-
vice. But all the conventional good
breeding he possessed was at risk, if he
should insult the COED physician by al.
luding to female. So he commenced
with the usual innumerable salutations,
multiplying them all the more copiously
by reason of the peril, Good morning
may your day be happy-may God
Grant you help until he thought he
had by compliment paved the way to
business. Then he proceeded, Your

Bishop Cummings dissenters from the
Episcopal Church met in Steinway Hall
yesterday afternoon and organized the
FIRST congregation Of the reformed body.
Bylaws were adopted in conformity
with the requirements Of the State
statutes. These provide for vestry of
nine trustees to hold Office for nine years,
who control the property and have tenn
poral management of the society. Res
olutions were passed setting forth the
views of the new church. There was
some difference of opinion as to the
name for the new church. A majority
was opposed to any election which might
lead to the naming Of the churches of
the new sect after the Saints, and the
First and Second Episcopal Church of
New York was finally adopted unani-
mously. The new church win continue
worship at Steinway Hall, and Bishop
Cummings will be the rector. The
membership represents much wealth,
and an edifce will be erected next sum-
mer.
The ship Northern Light arrived from
Liverpool after an unusually eventful
and perilous passage. On the 7th of
February a number of fearful hurricanes
occurred, continuing with fury two days,
which compelled her to take in all sail
and run under bare poles for twenty.
four hours. On February 18th she en-
countered a second hurricane of still
greater violence and lost her fore-top-
mast. The steering gear was broke, and
she was left without a rudder for over
thirty-Six hours. Finally, on February
26th she was struck by another tempest,
and her lower main-topsail was carried
away. The crew we're almost exhausted
when the vessel arrived in port.

The World this morning, in long ar

paid at wholesale for liquor in the Unite,
States amounted TO Sl,el2,e37 1850 -

TIE New Hampshire State election
takes place to-day. Parties are al
most evenly divided, and the Democrats
and Republicans stand on almost the
same identical platform. The difference
is that one party favors Grants admin
istration and the other does not. One
is in and the other out. Besides this
they lug in some local issues, such as the
retail liquor question. This enables a
handful Of prohibitionists to hold the
balance of power and sometimes slip
into an office without taking sides with
either party.
