Curious Customs of a Curious People.

In Corsica the wailing and chanting
is kept up, off and on, from the hour
of death to the hour of burial. The
news that Il head Of family has ex-
pred is quickly communicated to his
relatives and friends in the surrounding
hamlcts, who hasten to form themselves
into a troop or band locally called the
Scirrata, and thus advance in procession
toward the home Of mourning. If the
death WAS caused by violence the SER
rata makes halt when it arrives with
in sight of the village; and then 1t is
that the Corsican women tear their ha:r
and scratch their faces till the blood
flows ust as do their sisters in Dali
malta and Montenegro Shortly after
this the Scirrata is met by the deceased's
acknowledges, accompanied by all his
near relatives with the exception OF the
widow, to whose abode the whole party
now proceeds with loud cries and
lamentations. The widow awaits the
Scirrata by the door of her house, and,
as it draws near, the leader steps for
ward and throws a black veil over her
head to symbolic her widowhood the
term of which must offer a dreary
prospect to q woman who has the mis-
fortune to lose her husband while she
is still in the prime of life, for public
opinion insists that she remain for years
in almost total secluSiOn.

The cheapest dining-room in the
city" is the claim pllcarded on a house
in Grand street, close to Clinton. The
restaurant is plain room of moderate
size, furnished with common tables and
a large sideboard. I'VE put cloths on
the tables when we opened, week
ago" said the elderly woman who,
aided by her son, conducts the estab-
lishmcnt, but there was such rush
of boys, who were neither mannerly
nor neat, that we had to take
them Off We are fitting up another
room around the corner especially for
the boys, and when that is open we
shall reserve this place for adults"
Printed bills of fare were scattered
about, giving the following prices A
small cup Of tea CT coffee, with sugar
and milk, one cent; a cup of the or
binary size, two cents; slice of corned
beef, one cent; baked or boiled po-
tatU, one cent; cabbage, one cent;
baked beans, one cent; boiled or fried
mush, one cent; oatmeal. one. cent;
boiled rice, one cent; quarter Of a
pie, three cents. The quality of all
these things is excellent, but the one
cent portions are small, yet a fair appe-
tite could be appeased for five cents,
and ravcnous one for 10. Everything
is clean, and the cooking is good.
" Who supports this charity" was
asked Of the woman yesterday.

themselves ut a table, as party OF
demonstratlve but unaccustomeI fell

the bill of fare. One ordered corned
beef, beans, a cup of coffee, and crul-

of a pie at the same cost. The third
more rcclllcssly ordered cup of coffee,
bread and butter, beans corncd beef, a

4 SET.OFF FOR GENEVA.
4 Nice Little Bill OF $1,000. 900 to Pay.

The award of the fisheries commits
sion is. on the whole. satisfactory for
several reasons. First and fundament-
ally, because it ends IL series OF long
and bitter disputes with Canada and
Great Britain dating back as far as 1874,
ard ends them by the honest judgment
of an arbitration which Will be a new
and wholesome precedent when other
international disputes are to be ADJUST
cd The present court OF arbitration
was provided for under the treaty of
Washington, which also provided for
the similar court at Geneva whereby
we were awarded SO, 800, 900 III gold IN
satisfaction Of the Alabama claims
Under that treaty mutual concessions
in regard to fisheries and other matters,
on the part of Canada and the United
States, were yielded; but inasmuch as
Canada asserted that the excess OF adj
vantage in respect TO the concessions
was on our side the fisheries commits
sion was appointed to appraisc Cana
da's claim. Looking at the case fairly,
there seems to be no doubt that her
claim was legitimate one, and the
commissioners appraisal OF 1t ought
not to disappoint us. 1t has not been
creditable to our government that 1t
was exceedingly dilatory IN taking the
preliminary steps toward the constltu-
ton Of the commission, and that n mat
ter was dragged along for six years
which ought TO have been settled in
much less time.
"a hA 4 ~
to the United States was, rs we have
mentioned, $l5,5OO0OO in gold. Sub
tracing the fishery award the remainder
in our favor is $lO,0O0O0O, which may
be regarded as our apparent net profits
under the treaty of Washington. As
there still remains in the United States
treasury u sum Of about 100000 after
the distribution Of awards To ndlyldu-
ais and corporations, the real net profits
ofthe nation, under the treaty Of Wash
ington, may be fixed, say, at So, 800 600,
Looking at the matter merely as bu8l
ness transaction, this is Il result of which
surely we have no right to complain.
The trial Of the question ut Halifax in
yolvcd simple questions of fact and OBJ
seryation which we have every reason
to infer the commission decided fairly,
and we ought now to emulate the non
orablc course Of Great Britain in the
Alabama case 10y paying the bill with
out delay or higgling. We have only a
word to add and that is to say that
when SO good an understanding with
our first cousins over the border can be
reached so peaceably, it ought to en-
phasizc the cxpediencc of measures
which will lead to complete reciprocity
between the two kindred nations.

\ German scientific journal contains
an interesting paper on the lfe-habits of
the earthworm, by NJ. Henson, Il natur
alist who has had the subject.under eX
animation for number of Years. The
structure in which the earthworm
dwells consists of tube penetrating the
earth almost vertically for three, four,
or even six feet. Sometimes the tube
bends horizontally after reaching a GER
tain depth dOwnwardS, but more fire.
quently it is wholly vertical. At the
bottom of this tube the worm lies with
the head upwards. In wet weather the
adult animals come to the surface at
night and, with the posterior end re-
manning IN the tube, search round about
on the ground for vegetable matter
fallen stems, leaves and small branches.
These plant-fragments they draw into a
tube each leaf being first rolled to-
gether and dragged into the case, leav-
ing the stem projecting above the
ground.
The portion in the tube is moist and
soft, in which condition only can the
worm consume 1t. The worm gnaws
away at ii for days, but never draws 1t
deeper into its cell. Gradually the tube
becomes lined with the eXcretions Of its
occupants, which consists of Il black sub
stance like the rich leaf-mod that gar
dcncrs use. Sometimes abandoned
tubes are found filled with this sub
stance, which Is Of vast importance rs a

Some Interesting Facts Concerning
Turkish Women.

A writer in the Iplericln Register, of
Paris, says European society has
been aware for some considerable
period that woman in the east are SOM q
times worth their weight literally in
gold Stranlc stories have occasionally
been rccountcd of beautiful Circassian
ladies SOLD at private sale for $50 900
apiece; bat then, Of course, these prices
are exceptions, and the purchasers Vic

TO whom money was no object The
eastern middle class, comprising such
small fry rs aghas eticndis bashis, bim-
bashas and the like, it is asserted ,
usually expcnd sums varying from
81 600 to 5000 in the purchase of their
better halves, but hitherto we have had
woman among the working classes in
the east 1t has been reserved to Cap
tain Barnaby, in his interesting account
of ride through Asia Minir, to en-
tighten us on the subject ofwoman CON
sidered rs marketable commodity
among the lower strata of eastern
society.
1t must be understood that we DO not
include in this classification such abnor-
NAL people rs kurds, Bcdouins, Circas-
slams, and the like, these people gCner-
ally stealing their wives, Just as they
steal everything else Captain Baruaby
relates that his 'driliSh servant who was

therefore, toe regarded as a genuine type
of his class, reyelcd in the luxury Of one

stances this Turkish servant had pur-
chased his wife other father for $50, and
She was considered a bargain at that
price, her father being an cNtruvagant
individual, over head and cans in debt
To moncy-icudcrs,and who was disposed
to sacrifice his property for ready
money,
1t now remains to bc seen what the
Turkish servant got for his $50, in order
that We may form a fair idea of the
money value Of eastern women. The
lady IN question was a good cook, skilled
in the art of preparing soup, and was
thus possessed of a way to the heart OF
man of permanent and enduring
character She looked two ways at
once, which must have EXCHANGED her
value, seeing that she had only one eye
dispoSablc at amy ole time for the pur,
pose of investigating her husbands de
linqucncics which were numerous, as
is usually the ease with mankind; and,
finally. She weighed loo pounds
Women in the east are generally
valuable in proportion 90 their weight
which is the greatest dcsideratum,
other qualities being regarded Il, Access
series. The wife of the Turkish servant
ofCaptam Barnaby must therefore, 49,.
cording to her weight, have been worth
half a dollar per pound. Now, five set
aside quarter Of Il dollar per pound
for such extraordinary qualifications as
the arts of preparing palatahle soups
and sayugy stews, We are forced TO the
conclusion that the mass OF ordinary
eastern women, reckoued at their cur
