by the passage of the mails. The
railway platform is crowded with
uncouth-looking men and boys, clad
in every variety Of national cos
tune, from the sad brown Jacket
and ample combinations of the
Turkish peasant to the wonderful
becloaked Armenian merchant and
still more snowy Aranauts. Boys
of a similar genus to those who sell
evening newspapers at ordinary rail-
way stations run up and down with
fruit, water, curious.looking loaves
on sticks aud bits of roast lamb on
skewerS, shrieking aloud the merits
Of their wares, pushing each other
aside asd generally exhibiting G
symptoms Of a wonderfully keen
eye for business and quick scent for
backschesh. Soldiers, of course,
are plentiful. Melancholy Circas-
slams, with honest-looking blue
eyes; Arabs, looking exactly what
they are, blackguards, impure and
simple, blue-tunicked warriors of
the ordinary Turkish line, with
their bright scarlet facings and
fezzes these are mingled with
white-turbaned softas, black-hatted
and gowned Greek priests, and ex-
quisitely dressed and gloved French
initiating Bulgarians. Together
they make up a crowd such as only
the dirty but picturesque East can
produce. tua

raise, down to gourds, which were
one of the most useful articles on
hand.
There was the drinking gourd at
the house; the powder gourd and
the milking gourd; the strainer
gourd and soap gourd; the lard
gourd and the grease gourd the
fishing gourd and one whisky
gourd, used when no bottle could
be had, and the martin gourds for
the little birds to build in. But,
alasl in those good old times we
never heard anything about the
now famous punger gourd. | have
had some curiosity to know what
the punger is and for what purpose
it is used. | have made inquiries
of wise men who were in the legis-
laturc, and no one can give me its
history. | have made inquiries of
old people, and by chance l met
with an old sailor who said he had
seen an island near Africa that was
called Punger Island, and that
there were more fiat gourds on said
island than he had ever seen in any
one place, and that they would
hold about a gallon each. He
supposed they were the pungel
gourd. l also met with very old
negro who said he was one hun.
dred years old and that he was
brought from Africa and knew
what the punger gourd was, as il
growed in his old country" He
said it was a fiat gourd, would hold
a gallon and was used when the
doctor made his visits. Where he
lived, in old Virginia, he told ut
that whenever any OF the black
folks was sick it was kept under
the bed for their use, and that his
old miss had one in her room and
kept it mighty nice. So much fol
the punger gourd. / do think oui
legislature ought to have made one
fell sweeping clause and exempted
all the gourd family.
| have had several inquiries made
of me as to what was a Forked- -Deel
bedstead. In answer, | have to say
that | have seen many one. Soor
as the pioneer raised his cabin b,
would get a fork of a tree and drive
it down in the ground about sil
feet from one wall Of his house aut
three and a-half feet from the othe,
wall, and put pole in one cracl
and the other end in the fork, ant
from the pole he would put board
across to a crack in the wall. Thi
made his Forked. deer bedstead, OF
which he would put his grass o
cane for his bedding. Others woulC
get a post and bore two holes in
and two holes in the wall aud thu
make a Forked-deer bedstead, OF
which they slept enjoyed gooC
health and raised large families o
good women and useful men. NJ,

nHmerable white, bell.shaped tents,

Electric DISPLAYS In DaEOtM.

Says a Fort Buford correspondent
of the Pittsburg Telegraph
The storms of Dakota are accom-
panied not only with furious gales
of wind, but also with wonderfully
vivid and frequent flashes of light
ming. A short time ago during a
storm a bolt of heavens artillery
descended into a camp Of the Sixth
Infantry, at Fort Peck, striking
and instantly killing a soldier who
was at the time engaged in cooking
dinner under a tent. A few days
since your correspondent witnessed
the most remarkable display Of
electricity that he ever saw or heard
of. For nearly an hour the flashes
followed each other in quick sue
cessIon, apparently emanating from
many parts of the heavens simulta-
neously. The thunder accompanied
the discharges in a continuous roll,
and it seems miracle that the post
escaped without stroke. While
the storm was at its hight most
singular incident occurred, rivaling
any freak of lightning | ever before
witnessed. A binding streak, fol-
lowed almost Immediately by an
appalling crash, descended into the
earth about one-half a mile from
the post. A moment afterward
pieces Of turf and mud fell into
various parts Of the garrison, evil
IDENTITY torn up and hurled into the
air by the mighty conclusion of the
lightning stroke.

The Next Congress.

VIII certainly meet in extra session
not later than June 4th and probably as
early as May 18th when there will be
an entire new organization. We notice
that Geo. c. Wedderburn, Esq, of this
State is announced as candidate for
Doorkeeper, and we most heartily COM
mend his claims both on his own ac-
count as an earnest worker in the Con-
sentative and Democratic ranks in this
State since 1865, and because Of the
increased democratic majority in Vir-
glnia 10000 in the late Presidential
election. Virginia was given the Post
Mastership Of the 44th Congress. the
Office Of smallest patronage, she is GER
family entitled now to promotion to the
Doorkeepership and can secure it if her
delegation are earnest and active. Mr..
Wedderburn's services in Virginia dur
ing the late campaign were untiring and
especially his connection with the In
vestigation Of the Freedman's Bank,
which made thousands upon thousands
of votes all through the entire South
He is entitled to this recognition ofhis
services and we hope Congress will
bestow the Doorkeepership where it so
worthily belongs.

The Final Victory.

Louisiana is again free. The last
foothold of the carpet Dagger has been
removed. A fraudulent president,
placed in Office by the Louisiana fraud
ulent, radical returning board, becomes
the instrument of driving the carpet
Dagger from his last resting place in the
South. For twelve years, under sue
cessive radical administrations, these
thieying carpet bag governments have
lived at the expense Of the people Of
the South. They have stolen the pub
lie funds, they have robbed private IN
dividuals, they have slandered and
DETAINED the people whom they robbed;
but the end has come, and Florida.
South Carolina and louisiana have to
day the governments of their choice.
Notwithstanding Packard had more
votes than Hayes, Packard is declared
defeated and Hayes elected. Had there
been no investigation Of the result OF
the presidential election and no evidence
as to the frauds Of the reforming boards
and electoral commission, the simple
fact that Nichols is governor Of Luisi-
ana, indellibly stamps Hayes as the
fraudulent president. He has discharg-
ed his part Of the contract. Southern
democrats upon condition that they
would not aid the fillibusters in their
efforts to defeat the installation OF a
fraudulent president, exacted from the
friends of Hayes a pledge that the troops
should be withdrawn from the South
and that policy in favor Of local self
government should be carried out by
Hayes. While the object in view by
the Southern democrats was common
dable, the means used were, to say the
least, very questionable. They sold
out the democracy in order to save the
states Of Luisiana and South Carolina,
and in their sale made the conditions
such that Hayes necessarily declares
himself a usurper Of the honors and
emoluments of an Office which Of right

Mr.. W. H. Ken1ble, formerly State
treasurer ofPennsylvania. and a violent
republican politician, sent dispatce to
New Orleans on Friday, addressed to
Mr.. MacVeigh, one Of the Presidents
commissioners on the Louisiana ques-
ton, in which he said
'Ther commission deserve great cred
it for their success in bribing enough of
Packard's men to give Nichols ma
jority. Had Tweed been on your COM
mission he would haYe accomplish
ed it in a day. But we must have
reform"
Mr.. kemble's reputed connection
with a certain addition, division and
silence" scheme in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, few years SINCE does not
particularly commend him as reform
er. He might perhaps have found q
person to fill Tweed's place without go
ing north of Pennsylvania.
