ARABIsTAN: or the Land of the Arabian Knights.
Being travels through Egypt, Arabia and Per-
sia to Bagdad. By VIM. Perry Fogg, A. NJ. With
an introduction by Bayard Taylor Hartford,
Conn: Dustin, Gilman Il Co.
There is scarcely any portion of the world ex-
cept the interior of Africa, that is little known
and SO seldom visited by the modern tourist, as
the vast region which the author includes under
the name of "Arabistan"-Upper Egypt, Arabia,
Persia and Armenia; yet these countries are his.
torically more intestng than any other portion
of tie world, embracing, as they do, the sites of
the earliest Chaldcan civilization, the most in
teresting portion of the later Macedonian Empire.
and the sites of the latest splendors of the Ca
liphs. Our traveller spent the better part of a
year in travcrsing this vast domain, and Bayard
Taylor, who had some experience in portions Of
the region passed over, attests in his introduc-
ton, the scrupulous faithfulness of the travellers
narrative, descriptions and representations.
The book is published by subscription only,
NATHAN WooLsEY, of the town of Dayton, hay.
Ing the agency for Ottawa and this county. 1t
is splendidy printed and bound, profusely Illus
tratcd, and covers about $50 closely printed
pages.

eagles scream, but that is not a nice scream at
all. we are not large enough to describe the
scene as it ought to be described. 1t would
take man who weighed 800 to do the subject
justice. After drinking in all the beauties of
the place, we drank in some water from a
spring that gushes out of the rocks on the top
OF the mountain, wondering we drank how

Arriving at the hotel, we learn that religious
services are to be held in the parlor, and we
saunter down the hall and modestlv take our
stand near the door The parlor is filled with
ladies and gentlemen from the cities, some
dressed in their fine clothes, and others in the
rough garb of the sportsman. A young lady
presides at the piano, and as we approach, the
beautiful hymn of Nearer, my God, to thee"
is just being sung. We instinctively open our
mouth, and the melody runs ont of it like mo-
lasses from Jug, and two ladies from different
parts of the room make for US, each with
hymn book in her outstretched hand. Our gal
lahtry forbids our accepting one and refusing
the other, so we seize the two and exercise our

Iwould like to offer few suggestions,
on the transportation question, which is
SO agitating the minds of the best men
in the country, particularly Of the Pat
rons. ] see that your correspondents
all agree with me that transportation
ought to be made subservient to the
public good. But the ways and means
I would use to make it so, differ very
materially from any I have teen sug-
gested. For an illustration, I will take
the case of opening the mouth of the
Mississippi river. If this is done BY
the government it will cost not less than
ten millions of dollars, and lobbyists
will secure the job, not for the ablest
engineers, but for the parties who are
corrupt enough and willing to pay the
lszgest amount for securing the con-
tract. Are the patrons blind to such
corruption? Will they, after the expe-
rience We have had with the credit mo
bilier swindle, still follow the old plan
to secure internal improvements, and
thus open Q wide door for governments
thieves? would suggest that all the
Patrons of the states directly interested
In. the matter, should form q stock COM
pany for the purpose. Let each elect
one director, and let these directors
elect q president, vice-president, secre-
tary and treasurer. Let this directory
go to congress and say, We are the
representatives of a company embracing
one million of taxpayers, representing
an actual capital of five thousand mil
lions of dollars we ask you to give MS
the JOB of opening the mouth OF the
Mississippi river. We wish the govern
ment to issue to us its bonds to GER
tain amount, payable at q certain time,
with semi-annual interest; in short, to
extend to us the same credit which has
been extended to the Pacific railroads.
This Patrons directory will then be able
to employ the most competent engineers
and see the work done in the best inter-
ests of every citizen. In conclusion, L
would say, let all internal improvements
be made on this, or some similar plan,
and, my word for it, the work will be
done quicker, better and with far less
expense to the tax-payers.-Cor. Rurdt

the figure the bodies and skirts seem

very low over the hips, and their juno

studded with these. The effect of these
bejewelled dresses at night is extreme

even walking dresses are being covered

round the neck, four-edge it each end

-Guizor's heirs have discovered the
suit which was the last expression of
Guizot's pride. His idea was that
neither himself nor his family should
be indebted to the empire, which he
hated. One of his family was thus in
debted and had accepted assis tance
from the emperor, and the suit was that
the emperor's heirs should be compelled
to accept repayment from Guizot. In
this material time it is rare to see suit
maintained on one side to compel the
accer lance of $40, 900, and on the other
upholding the right to refuse the sum
