to see the marble image Of the dying
Queen in Memorial Hall, they would
say the carving is admirably done, but
the figure does not look like the glo-
rious Cleopatra Caesar and Anthony,
in the days of their power, could not
fall in love with such figure.

Away up at the foot of Georges
Hill. near the corner of the enclo
sure, camp of West Point Cadets,
about 200 In number, were on ten
days sojourn. under regular military
discipline. Their place of habitation
consists of the regulation tent, with
pine board floor. The furniture of
the tents is comprehended in the list
of camp iron bedstead, q few camp
stools, the regulation number of wash
bowls, a wooden bucket, always filed
with water, and in few instances a
small looking glass The discipline
is the same as at West Point The
most rigid discipline in all things is
enforced, from the getting out of bed
at the peep of day" on the minute,
to the outening of the lights at the
stated hour in the evening. If a
quarter of a century of West Point
discipline could be carried into the
trades, labor, business, and families
of the people of the Republic, we
would become the simplest, least ex-
travagant, cleanest, neatest, and most
thorough people that ever graced or
disgraced this earth.
In passing eastward from the camp
of the Cadets, attention was drawn
by continuous stream of people
passing around and through Turk
ish Cafe Like the boy with the
orange, we wished to see, too, and
passed along to the veranda on
the south side of the building, and
there took chair by window. Two
Turkish merchants sold Eastern
wearing apparel and ornamental
goods, in little room that opened
on to the veranda. The main room,
which was devoted to serve refresh
ments, such as Turkish coffee,
Turkish cigarettes, Turkish ice cream,
Turkish wine, &c, was the chief OBJ
iect of attention of scores of people,
and fully one-half of those who
passed by partook of some one OF
other of the inducements on the
Turkish bill of fare, which was print
ed in English letters. The aroma OF
the coffee and the odor of the cigar
cites was waited out of the windows
and doors, and was pleasant to smell.
Again, like the boy who had seen the
orange and smelled it, desire came
to taste it. To desire in our case in
this instance was to yield, and the
next moment we were seated inside
and had an order in the hands of q
Turkish servant in full Oriental cos
tune, for coffee and cigarettes. The
coffee was served in a cup not as
large as a gill measure, on a waiter
No cream was In it, and if it con
tanned sugar it was sweetened before
brought to us. To our taste it seemed
of good quality and delicious taste
The cigarette was brought in a tiny
waiter, and was enjoyed only as q
smoke can be enjoyed after an almos,
total abstinence, since the days IL
which the Democracy carried the
Lower House of Congress, severa
campaigns ago. A great deal might
be said of Turkish ways, as seen il
the Cafe and at the several bazars il
that vicinity, but space in this issue
forbids the saying.
! A hasty tour of the Educationa
Building was the next place done
In the Soldiers Orphans Schoo
Department in that building ar,
specimens of the handiwork of or
phans who attend the McAhstervillr
Soldiers Orphans School in thi
county.
The manner IN which the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company moves it
trains in and out of the Centennia
Depot is worthy of the attention o
every visitor.
