4 Romance Of the Desert.
AN ARREST, A MARRIAGE, DOMESTIC
HAPPINESS, AND A MURDER.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
About twenty five years ago COM
pany of young men started cut from
Damascus for Jerusalem, They had
not gone far before band of armed
horsemen surrounded them, and the
leader said the caravan might move on
if they would deliver up young man
named Randall. The terms were ac-
cedcd to, and his companions last saw
him mount on fine horse, attended
by the gay hersemen Of the Bedouin
Sheik of the lie Avish tribe, He was
taken to the Sheik's tent, and to his
surprise found a magnificent entertain
ment awaiting him. What does it
mean? Arzalia, the Sheik's daughter,
has seen the young man and fallen pas
sionately IN love with him, and this is
the wedding feast. The young man
and Arzalia are married, There was
no escape for him. His tent was guar
ded by night, and his person watched
by day, lest he should escape, and this
guard was kept over him for years.
He and Arzalia, however, seemed
happy; children were born to them,
and their domestic life was marked by
kindness, courtesy and true affection.
Randell rapidly acquired the Arabic
language; his wife as rapidly mastered
tho English, their children were taught
in both. He is an American by birth.
When he was admitted to the Sheiks
family they had to receive his religion
as well as his person. Through him
his wife became christian; the father
in law became n DatrOn Of bia oop IN
laws faith, and the surrounding tribes
became favorable to the new religion.
But Dervish, zealot of the Mehom.
medan faith, for long time endeavor-
ed to have Randall's sons thrown out
of the employ of the Turkish Govern.
ment, and failing in this, turned his
assault upon the daughter of the for
eigner, charging her with witchcraft
and apostacy from the true faith. She
was brought before the Meglis, COM
posed of ia venerable Sheiks and
Oifendis, to answer charges which in
vOlved her life. She, although but IA
years of age, made a defence worthy
of an apostle; and the unanimous YER
dict was in her favor The chiefs Of
the tribes pledged each other to de.
fend all Christians who thought and
felt as Rosa did. The trial was in Oc-
teber, 1872. In June, 1878, she was
teaching class of little girls in
grove, t.eDervish stealthily approach
ed, murdered the maid, and fed.

ITO be contlnued.l

A SWIFT AND TERRIBLE FATE.-The
Wilmington On. B. Star has the follow
ing:
An involuntary suicide took place in
Almance county recently, under the fol-
lowing circumstances: A DR.. Hooper,
a dentist, living In the northern part of
the county, went to the breakfast table
prepared to poison his wife, for what
reason we have not learned. They
were seated alone at the table.
After pouring out the coffee, Mrs.
Hooper was dispatched out of the room
on some pretext, and in her absence
her husband poured into her cup a
deadly mixture. She returned, and it
happened that the doctor himself was
called from the room for a moment. In
his absence fly fell into his cup and
Mrs. Hooper, wife like, exchanged cups
The doctor returned and drank his
coffee almost at one swallow.
He at once detected the singular taste
of the beverage and asked his wife il
she had exchanged cups. She replied
that she had, giving the reason for it,
when lie exclaimed, "Then l am deaC
man." and in few moments was 8
corpse.

The Moon and the Weather.

The notion that the moon exerts an
influence on the weather is so deeply
rooted that, notwith standing all the at
tacks which have been made against 1t
since meteorolOgy has been seriously
studied, it continues to retain its hold
upon us. And yet there never was
popular superstition more utterly with
out basis than this one. If the moon
did possess any power over the weather,
that power could be exercised only in
one of the three ways-by reflection
of the SUMS rays, by attraction, or
by emanatiOn. No other form of ac-
tion is conceivable. Now, as the bright
est light of the full moon isnever equal
in intensity or quantity to that which
is reflected toward US by white cloud
on a summers day, it can scarcely be
pretended that weather is affected by
such cause. That the moon does exert
attraction on us is manifest-we see its
working in the tides; but though 1t can
move water, it is most unlikely that it
can do the same to air, for the specific
gravity of the atmosphere is so small
that there is nothing to be attracted.
Laplace calculated, indeed, that, the
joint attraction of the sun and moon to-
gether could not stir the atmosphere at
quicker rate than five miles day.
As for lunar emanatiOns, not sign of
them has ever been discovered. The
idea of an influence produced by the
phases of the moon is therefore based on
no recognizable cause whatever. Fur
thermore, it is now distinctly shown that
no variations at all really occur in
weather at the moment of the changes of
the quarter, any more than at other or
binary times. Since the establishment
of meteorological stations all over the
earth, it has been proved by millions of
observations that there is no simultan-
| eousness whatever between the sup
posed cause and the supposed effect.
The whole story is a fancy and
superstition which has been handed
down to us uncontrolled, and which
we have accepted as true because
our forefathers believed it. The moon
exercises no more influence on the
weather than herrings do on the gov
ernment of Switzerland.-BLdcklUoOd.

Anecdotes About Spoilers,

If DOgberry, instead of asserting that
''tO write and read comes by natnre,n
had said that spelling was "a natural
gift. he would not have blundered very
far from the truth; for the art of SPELL
ing is to many a gift of nature. She de-
MED it, however, to those of whom 4
correspondent of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean tells these anecdotes:
a local wit tells a story of q Senator
who once adorned the capital, and bore
with ease the highest honOrs of great
statesman. He was a poor speller, but
realized as well as any the defect in his
education, and made vigorous efforts to
correct it. He purchased a dictionary,
and used to study it faithfully.
"But it's no use," he remarked one
day to a friend; ~ have spent half an
hour trying to find out how to spell
physician, but the word isn't there"
"Where did you look ?" inquired the
friend; and taking the book from the
puzzled Senator's hands, he found that
lie had been hunting for the word
among the"Fs, nas ifitwere spelled "fiz."
Quite as funny thing occurred the
other day. A prominent member OF
Congress, representing one Of the largest
States in the Union, and one of the
| largest cities, who is the chairman oi
one of the most important committees
| in the House, and has had charge OI
some of the most important bills, wrote
a note of recommendation for the ap.
| pointment of young man to an office
! And the note began with the following
clause, spelled in this way:
81 corgially recommend Mr.. -" etc
This is no freak of the Imagination
! but an actual fact.
The messenger of the House Judiciary
! Committee is One-armed Confederate
soldier, and is a very polite, gentle
manly fellow. The other day Congress
man Frank Hurd, of Toledo, went into
the committee-rOom, and found thl
messenger poring over the dictionary il
apparent great anxiety.
"What word are you looking for p
asked Mr.. Hurd.
~ wanted to see how curiosity wa
spelled" said the messenger.
Hurd looked over his shoulder at tn,
dictionary, and seeing the man had i
opened at the "k" place, said:
"Why, my dear man, you can't fint
curiosity there; curiosity doesn't begiI
with q 'k.'
The man looked up a little aston
ished, thought a minute, and then re
marked, as il apolOgiZing for fit of alb
sent t-mindedness
"That's so. What was I thinking of
I might have known it began with
o." And he turned over TO where th
"q's' were. Mr.. Hurd let him hunt 70

Origin of the Turkish War.

The origin of the Turkish insurrection
and the present war in the Turkish
provinces has been represented by Turk
ish sympathizers to have been in Rus
sian intrigue. The special correspond
ent of the London Times, who has been
on the ground ever since the Montene-
grins participated in it, "ventures to
turn back a few leaves of his correspond
ence, and to recall facts which he defies
any man to contradict" This CORE
spondent writes:
The insurrectiOn in its incipiency was
simply the irrepressibie outbreak of un-
endurable oppression, entirely without
other stimulus from without, and such
as the cOntiguity and sympathy of free
meu of the same race have always bred
and always will breed. 1t burst out In
several places, almost simultaneously,
so that various incidents are ella; ;meu to
have been the exciting incident accord
ing to the locality assigned-in fact,
many incidents conspired to excite an
eruptive fever, which appeared over the
whole of Southern and Western HerZe-
govina. The first sympathiZers and sup
lOi LGlS Vi TIE UlONelllGllI lIOlU dOTOdu
came from Dalmatia, and the Catholic
population along the Dalmatian frontier
was the first to give it any Importance.
The first blood drawn was, so far as
can speak with confidence, in Nevesinge,
which district was pacified, q la Bulgaria,
by Shefket and Selim Pashas. Dervish
Pasha, then Governor, is generally ac-
cused of having fostered the causes of
the insurrectiOn at the critical moment,
| because it is believed to be a step to pro-
motion and profit to suppress an insur-
TectiOn. At this time the Prince of Mon
! tenegrO did his best to repress the move
ment, doubtless not from affection for
| the Turkish Government, but because
the movement was inoppOrtune, and any
! insurrectiOn in Herzegovina must inev-
/ itably, if it is continued, involve, openly
or secretly, the MOntenegrin population.
| His efforts were vain, because, while he
| was discOuTaging, Dalmatian and Ser
Wan patriots were encouraging 10, and
! his persistence would have ended only
| in his losing all the influence he had on
! the HerZegOVinians. Thus, shortly after
| arrived in Ragusa, PekO and his band
of MOntenegrips and Herzegovinians APP
peared in the vicinity of Trebinje. lam
not prepared to say that the Austrian
government favored the insurrectiOn at
this time, but Austrian officials did.
| Money and arms came from Austria, as
well as volunteers, and while these faI
exceeded the number of the Montene'
grins present, the tone of all the officials
on the border was more encouraging
than anything | have seen at any time
from Russia, and, so far as my opinion
is worth, think that Austria did much
more to favor the insurrection thar
Russia, who, not being ready for the
event, regarded it as hopeless, because
premature, and so, while not choosing
TO risk her influence by decidedly Op
posing any insurrectiOn in the Slavoni,
provinces, would have been relieved by
a pacificatiOn.

WHERE WOMAN'S POWER LIES.-The
true power of woman is the resistless
power of her affections. In asserting
this, am l attempting to mask the great
question of our day with a "gliLtering
generality ?" Am L disposed to deny
any lawful claim which woman may
make for a more extensive recognition
of her rights, or larger field for her
power? No; | am not doing any such
thing. Let woman do whatever her fac
ulties can achieve-let her 90 wherever
her instincts demand-if she truly fol-
lows her instincts, | am sure she will
not 90 wrong. | am sure of this, also;
wherever man may lawfully go, woman
may lawfully go. Wherever woman
ought not to be, it is a shame for man,
it is a shame for humanity to be. [
merely Insist upon this, whatever
woman may accomplish in the world,
with brain or hands, will draw its vital
efficacy, its taIismaDic virtue, from the
heart; and that her strength, in all va
rious shapes of action and of Influence,
in its essence, will be the strength of the
affections. The hiding of wOman's
power must ever be in fervOr and stead
fastness of her love. And her most tri-
umphant characteristic is love, culmi-
mating in its highest expressiOn-thatO of
self-sacrifice. A thoughtful writer has
observed the contrast between the sexes
even in their play. "Tue boy" he says,
"gets together wooden horses and a
troop of tin soldiers and works with
them. The girl takes a doll and works
for it," That is woman's great pecul-
iarity-the work of f-sacrifice-work-
ing for others.-ReU. DR.. Chaplin.

The M'Pherson Statue.

The tenth annual meeting of the So
ciety of the Army of the Tennessee was
held at Lincoln Hall, Washington, d.
c., October Is. About l25 members
were present, with a large number of
spectators. General Sherman, presi-
dent of the society, in calling the meet
ing to order, said that the day was set
apart more especially for the unveiling
and dedication of the M'PhersOu MOnu-
ment, which had been erected in Scott
Square, Washington, in memOryo of the
favorite soldier of the Army of the Ten
nessee.
At one o'clock a column was formed,
under the command of Major General
David Hunter, chief marshal, consist
ing of mounted police, the Fort NJ Henry
Band, several companies of military,
the Marine Corps and Band, the orator
of the day General Logan, and the
chairmen of the respective committees
of arrangements, prominent civil offi-
GERS, the Society of tue Army OF the Ten-
nessee, officers Of the army and navy, in
vited guests, theVeteran Club, the Grand
Army of the Republic, and officers, sol
diers, and sailors who served during the
iate war, altogether making a fine dis
play.
The statue was executed by Louis
T. Rebsso. 1t is an equestrian figure,
heroic in size. 1t is mounted upon
massive granite pedestal handsomely
designed. M'PhersOn is represented as
viewing the field of battle. He grasps
the check-reins of the spirited horse on
which he is mounted in his left hand,
and his right hand holds a field-glass,
which he appears to have just removed
from his eyes. The figure Is turned fac
ing the west, toward which the Gen
eraI is represented as anxiously looking.
The position is an easy and natural
one.-Hdrper'S Weekly.

1t is we'll to give credit to energy and
application, but when the wise people
arise every day or so, and quoting from
Emerson, from COnfucius, from Sir
William Eastlake, or Esop, assert that
industry is such a very good thing to
have, and that talent really counts for
little in the great race of life, we can
not help feeling sorry for talent. 1t is
very true that the hare was beaten by
the tortoise, and if hares always go to
sleep in Ordor to let the tortoise have
the chance of showing what application
can do, then it is all right, and very
kind in the fleet footed little creature,
but suppose he runs ?-Ne1O Century for

There is a great deal of discussion of
the purpose of George Eliot in writing
Daniel Deronda," and the Jewish por-
ticn of the book is particular puzzle.
The truth is, the husband of George
Eliot is a gentleman of Jewish descent,
and she is suspected of writing the
book to please her husband. She stud
led Jewish history with great care as a
preparation for this work, and it is said
by her friends that, in the course of the
studies having this relation, she con-
suited a thousand boOks.-Ci Cincinnati
