of the East. Nothing could be more graceful ana
quietly courteous than his manner: the seeming
stodty of his face melted into a frank smile, his
eyes lighted up and he used in speaking an Arabic
much purcr than the common Barbary dialect Ihen
il occurred 10 me that the true Oriental needs 10
test of anguage his manner his gestures, the tones
of his voice will inevitably distinguish him from the
imitation. Palgrave truly says that the most per-
feet gentlemen in the world the Arabs OF old ana
pure blood, md something of their dignity ana re-
finement is sure to be found both IN all cOiaterai
branches of the race and in the Oriental Christians
and Jews. The Moor was FROM Tanger, as he in
formed me- but he had evidently Travelled much ahc

the ancient costumes of the inmates there Is Dooth
marked Algeria" 1t was so densey crowded yes
terdav. when | first stumbled upon it, and the
choking hot-house atmosphere was so intoierapie,
that I could not examine the articles offered fer
sale: but the Algerne gentleman IN blue dress ana
turban certainly belonged to some new variety OF
the Oriental race His face was round and rosy, his
ewes large and bluishgray, and his beard and eye
brows the blondest of blonde. If | wee not bound
to take him, at least, for Vandal-blooded Berber
from the Atlas Mountains, | should set HIM down as
Saxon from the shores Of the North Sea- Inc
natural gravity of one is about equal TO that OF e
other; but | must admit that hls costume was cor
rect. and worn with the ease which denotes habit.
The Japanese Bazaar stands behind the Depart
ment of Public Comfort, in the midst of quaint
little garden, modelled, as nearly as the time ana
materials permitted, on those of Japan. Bronze
cranes, seven feet high, are perched on the BANK
two clumsy bronze pigs able to be taken Tor infant
hipp0poamuses, at first sight are standing beside
those curiously tufed dwarf pine trees we see on
the native vases; and there is pillar OF gray stone,
very much like an old Anglo-Saxon waysde shrine,
planted in bed of lilies. The native trees here. at
the upper end of Landsdowne Valley, are large and
SHADY and the spot has already become faY0rltc
resort Tie building is strictly japanese in style,
plan and well-proportiOncd, but beautihed by an
exquisite pattern of wOOd-carying. 1t Is stocked
with great variety of bamboo metal, and lacquered
wares which find ready market. The native sales
men. with their shOrt-cropped hair and twInkIng
ewes. are unwearfedly quick and ineXhaustibly
cheerful: they have evidently learned at home the
advantage of keeping their customers IN a gooo
humor Rapidly the stock goes Of, IL Is cor
stantly replenshed, and will probably be equal to
the demands of the three crowded months nov
begun.
There are no more distinctvely foreign booths or
the Vienna Bakery deserves to be placed in this class
rather than among the restaurants. OF the latter,
the American the Lafayette, Laubers and the Trois
Fr1res are neither new nor strictly representative.
At the American there are mostly German waters,
and YOU can get many German Dishes the Lafayette
does not differ very materially from it or from any
other good restaurant III our large cities; LauDefs
is professedly German, yet gives you most OF the
American and French dishes and no New-lorker
will be likely to prefer the Tros Freres to Delmon-
ico's The cooking is sufficiently good in ALL re-
markable in none: the visitor may satisfy appetite
and escape indigestion, bat will hardly carry away
memories of perfect vands. The most encouraging
sign is the cosmopolitan character of the Diet the
blending of various national elements-Amerlcan,
English French, German, and even Itaiian-in the
capacious bills of fare. Out of this an Improvement
of the art must surely come. Perhaps it would not
be easy to keep up restaurant of the very choicest
character without either positive loss very slight
profit.
The Vienna Bakery however, depends for its sue
cess upon tie production of two simple articles
coffee and bread. There is no mystery about the
matter the large windows are so arranged that the
curious public may look i'll (which they do aoun-
dantly) and study the process. The American may
here satisfy himself that good coffee Is as easy to
make as bad and if he is hereafter satisfied with the
insipid slops poured out to him in many hotels,
his longsufierng deserves no relief used the local
Viennese word and called for meLange which
is a cup of coffee and milk ready mixed and topped
with foam of beaten white-of-egg There was no
mistaking the delicate aroma the coffee might have
been made in the RngstrasSe. The crisp. Kaiser
senmel were equally genuine, and the favor which
they have already won among our people shows that
a whole generation of "saleratus biscuits" cannot
entirely destroy the taste for honest bread. l re-
ioice to learn that both NewYork and Philadelphia
are TO have permanent Vienna bakeries after the
close of the Exhibition.
-Afternoticing so much that is agreeable, Im0y be
permitted to mention very unpleasant fac. The

Exhibition, and openly adverIses his nOstrums-of

teunial Commission. His signs placed along the
railway which makes the circuit of the grounds, and

ease that the grounds, at least, should have been
kept free from this vulgar nuisance. cannot un-
derstand why it was permitted-Or why, if one is
