ABa African BelSe.

In one tribe through whose territory
he passed after leaving Tanganyika,
Lieut. Cameron found the women much
more regarded than is usual among Afri-
cans, and consequently they were far
more fashionable than the rest of their
sex in that happy country. One of the
bellies of the country is thus described
in Cameron's journal;
"She is merry sort of person, this
Mrs. Pakwanywa, and really ladylikc in
her manners, 1t was great fun showing
her looking-glass. She had never seen
one before. and was half afraid of il, and
ashamed to show she was afraid. She is
a very dressy body, double rows of
cowries round her head, besides copper,
iron, and ivory ornaments stuck in her
hair, and just above and in front of each
ear tassel of red and white beads. A
large necklace of shells was round her
neck, and round her waist a string OF
opal-colored singo-mazzi, and rope made
of strings of red-colored- bead. Her
front apron was of a leopard skin, and
the rear one of colored grass cloth, with
its fringe strung with beads and cowries
sowed on it in a pattern; bright iron
rings were round her ankles, and copper
and ivory bracelets on her arms. Her
hair was shaved little back from her
forehead, and three lines, each about a
quarter of an inch wide, were painted
below. The one nearest to the hair was
red, the next black, and the next white
and, to crown all, she was freshly anointed
with oil, and looked sleek and shiny
Her upper lip was perforated and piece
of stone inserted, until the lip protruded
couple of inches, giving hideous ex.
preston to the face and making her ar.
ticulation quite indistinct."

New YORK Sun: Only few years
ago J. X. Mortimer was an actor in this
city. He was handsome, talented and
enjoyed popularity equal to that now
held by Montague, of Wallack's, Thorne,
of the Union Square, or Coghlan, of the
Fifth Avenue. 1t was then supposed
that he would reach the highest rank in
his profession. He became drunkard,
but for a while managers endured his
Irregularities because of his attractive
ness with the public. He went to Cal
ifornia, and we soon heard of him as a
performer in concert saloons. The latest
of him is the following description from
the San Francisco Chronicle: A seedy,
bloated man. who looked as if he was
draining the cup of bitterness to the
dregs, staggered up to lunch counter
of a saloon in KearneX Street and begged
for a plate of soup. "Pll give it to
you," said the saloon man, but you
mustn't come cumming round here. y
The fellow devoured the soup raven
ously, and then begged for some meat
"No, you've eaten your soup, now gel
out" "Only little bit" pleaded the
man. "Well, here, take this" and h
of the lunch counter handed over a wei
polished ham bone. With a wolfish lool
at the bottles behind the bar the nal
| shuffied out.

f" Rouf Him our

John b. Cough lectured on temper
ance recently in st, Louis--his 6. 6S0th
temperance lecture He advocated the
prohibition of the drink traffic, and in
closing told the following touching incl
dent:
"The day before Thanksgiving, some
years ago, Mrs. Faulkner, in Norwich,
Connecticut, received word that her long
absent ron would be at home to Thanks
giving, and her mind was filled with the
thought my boys coming home
Thanksgiving eve the boy got off the
train, and as it was night, and he wanted
to be little late SO as to surprise the
old lady, he stepped into Solomon Par
sons saloon, down by the bridge. There
he met his old friends. Why, Harry,
how dye do? Pm glad to see you.
Come and let's have something for old
times sake No, don't care for any
thing, thank you How long have you
been away, Harry? Just come back.
Well, Pm sure I'd hardly have known
you. Come on, let's have nip of
something good Then laughed out the
liquor-selling fiend from behind the bar,
Hal hal hal come back coward.
Afraid of glass oil liquorl Don't dare
to, ha ha! And so they dared him,
and he drank one glass, then another,
and many more. Some way or other he
reached the barn attached to the house,
and crept into the straw. In the morn
ing he was dead. On shutter, and
covered by buffalo robe, they bore the
body to the mother, and Solomon Par
sons was there. The mother turned and
said; Solomon Parsons, you have sold
my boy liquor, and his death lies atyour
door. Parsons mumbled something
about being harsh, hard judgment;
but said the widow, God forgive me,
but l lifted up my hand and asked God
to curse him.
"When lectured there afteward, | saw
Solomon Parsons in the hall, and knowing
that, / told the story and said Solo
mon Parsons is here among you. He
holds his license from the State to sell
liquor to your sons. Rout him out
Rout him out And within twelve
hours after that speech, bottles, demi-
Johns, barrels, license, and all, they
routed him out, and he never came back
int tie Stats again."

The sultan at the Mosque.

1t is the custom for the Sultan to go in
state every Friday to one of the mosques
of Constantinople to perform his devo-
tions in public. Friday is to the Turks
what Sunday is to the Christians and
Saturday to the Jews-a day specially
sacred to religious exercises, although it
does not with the Turks involve COM
pulsory period of rest. Every week the
Commander of the Faithful visits diff
ierent mosque, ST. Sophia, the suleim-
anieh, Sultan Bajazet, Yeni-Djami, and
the rest being visited in rotation, ac-
cording to sequence arranged and
known in advance. Besides the fact that
to perform his devotions on Friday in
mosque is rigidly inculcated upon the
Turk by the Koran, and that the Sultan
can, least of all men, omit the duty,
there Is in the exercise Of this official
act of piety political utility and signif-
icance. 1t proves to the mass of the
people the continuance of the life of the
Sultan, Of which they have few opportu-
mites of assuring themselves, hidden as
he is during the entire week in the mys-
terious solitudes of the seraglio, or of
the secluded summer palaces on the
shores of the Bosphorus. BY passing
through the city on horseback, visible to
every one, he gives evidence of his exist
ence, both to his own people and to the
representatives of foreign powers "a
precaution not altogether idle in coun-
try like Turkey, where his sudden or vi
client death might not only occur, but
might, were it not for the oft-recurring
appearance in public, be for some time
concealed in order to further the pur-
poses of political intrigue. Sickness, even
though severe, does not prevent the per-
Torrance of this ceremony; for NAH
mould l., son of Mustapha, actually died
between the two gates of the seraglio,
while returning from one of these Fri
day ceremonials, to which he had been
literally dragged, while with difficulty
able to maintain his seat in the saddle,
and rouged to conceal his death-l like
paleness.

Most of Captain Mosss time has been
in prospecting for gold. About 1862,
Just at the time when there was such a
furore on the Pacific coast over mineral
discoveries in Arizona, he struck some
greenhorns whom he induced to she'll
out one hundred and twenty thousand
dollars fer ahalf interest in mine which
be had opened on the Colorado River.
There is nothing niggardiy about Moss
On the contrary, he is munifcent. When
he had got his cash for his mine he
started on an eastern tour, taking along
with him as a friend and travelling cem-
panion, Aratoba, chseftain of the
Mojave tribe, who had great influence
with his people. The Indian had never
seen more than few men together at a
time, and his notions of eastern civiliza-
ton were very crude. Moss and his COM
panion went from Lower California to
San Francisco on steamer, and when
the city and its shippings opened before
Aratobas vision, he became unm anage-
able from amazement and excitement,
and attempted to jump overheard.
When they boarded train east of the
Rockies and the thing was getting down
to thirty or forty miles an hour, the Id
chief tried to throw himself out of win
dow, and during the remainder of the
first day of their journey by rail it took
two men to prevent him from breaking
his neck. He got used to railroad
travel, however, and liked it toward the
last; but the more he saw of city life
the greater his amazement grew.
Moss and his friend lived in the best
New York hotels for week, faring
sumptuously. When he got ready to
visit Washington and Baltimore they
took the train from Jersey City in the
evening, engaging berths in a sleeping
car. During the night run whenever
the train halted at town Moss made
Aratoba get up and look out at the gas
lights The object of this was to make
the Indian think that he was riding
through New York. They arrived in
Philadelphia before day break, and re.
manned there until night. When the
Journey was resumed to Baltimore, Moss
still practiced his deception on the In
dian by waking him up at every town
To conyince him that they were still rid
ing under the gaslights of New York.
The game was played upon the unsus-
pecting and bewildered aborigine until
the trip ended in Washington.
When they returned to the wilds of
Arizona old Aratoba feared to relate his
experience, for he knew that his people
would think that he was lying, or that
he had been bribed to deceive them.
Finally he consented to tell his story,
and on a certain day the whole tribe
assembled to hear it. When he described
his journey by rail, and told about rid.
ing two whole nights under the gaslights
of the city. the untraveled Mojaves
denounced his narrative as a monstrous
lie, and they nearly mobbed the old
chief then and there. A council was held
and it was decided to Danish Aratoba
from the tribe, and he was accordingly
stripped ofhis Eastern-made clothes, and
abandoned on an uninhabited island in
the Colorado River, from which he was
afterward rescued by his old friend
! Moss.

PROFESSOR YoUMANs says Of General
Pleasonton and blue glass: The man is
a pestilent ignoramus. He may be en-
tirely honest, but that is no reason why
we should give attention to his egregious
folly. Pleasonton, however, it must be
confessed, serves one important function,
he gauges for us the depth and density
of American stupidity. De Morgan
says, somewhere, that certain men appear
occasionally to play the part OF fool
ometers in the community, that is, to
measure the number and quality Of the
fools furnished by any given state OF
society. Pleasonton has done this
for us with an accuracy that leaves Moth
ing to be desired" Now.it is the Gen-
erals turn to say something.

Kittredge & Co., of this city, received
the following letter from one of their
correspondents in Illinois:
WINCHESTER, SCOTT Co., ILLINOIS,
April n, 1877. !
B. KITTREDGE a. Co.: Genaemen--I will
tell you little about the hail storm that we
had here last Friday afternoon about four
o'clock. 1t commenced to hail and rain till
the hail and rain was six inches deep on the
ground. The hail was from the size Of a
buckshot to three and a half inches thick.
1t killed hogs that would weigh two hun
bred aud fifty pounds, and sheep and cows
it killed birds and chickens, and destroyed
all the fruit as far as it went. 1t also
knocked all the bark off the trees, and broke
the limbs of them down. 1t split shingles
on the house roofs to pieces, and knocked
all the glass out of the north side Of the
buildings, and beat everything into the
ground that was growing in the gardens.
don't know how much glass is broken here
but l think about two thousand dollars
won't pay for it. No more at present, bu
remain yours, SAMUEL HAWN.
