The Arabs.

The intensity of the sunshine is repro.
duced in the Arab eye; the simeon is a
terrible symbol of those guests of wrath
which desolate the human soul. Luxury
and Incidence are their characteristics as
well as fiery tempers, and we are at loss
to reconcile one with the other. Our
sky, bright as it is, is not to be compared
with that of the East. After fifty days
of desert travel l left it fascinated by the
variety Of its scenes. In its solitude it
resembled the ocean, but it is sweet and
refreshing. Providence leaves none of
the desert-places of the earth without
some atoning quality. God has breathed
upon the desert this sweetand cleansing
breath, could point out many traits OF
resemblance between the sailor and Be-
douin. Both are free and rowing in their
tastes. Among either you will rarely find
coward. prefer here speaking Of the
wandering Arab as type of the race,
The Arab dialect, in which the Koran is
written, is still spoken in its pristine
purity, in Egirls, around Mecca. The
Arab is brave, and his sense of honor ir-
reproachable. He is devoted to the
muses.. l have no doubt that Christian
knights first learned their sense of honor
and chivalry among the Saracens at the
time of the Crusades. The law of pro-
lection is held in as much respect among
the Arabs as in the Koran. The pride Of
the Arab is his birthright, and dignity in
his natural manner. The Arab is gener-
Gus, and his hospitality is universal; the
guest confers an honor upon his host, and
the name ofstrangcrs is sacred.-A 1rau-

The South Haven Sentinel, ID acknowledging
the receipt Of copy OF the Proceedings OF the
Board OF Supervisors at their october session,
from this office, remarks that 1t is probably the
only copy that will be sent to that town. This,
we think, is misapprehension for County
Clerk Williams has taken pains to send to each
Supervisor in the County his proportion Of the
copies ordered printed; and If the Supervisors
do their duty the pamphlet will be tolerably
well circulated among the Taxpayers OF the
County, who should carefully read it and there
by obtain knowledge OF what their represent
atives did do at their last session. They will
also be enabled to know why their taxes are 80
high, and many other things in which they are
deeply interested. In this locality, we learn,
the pamphlet is eagerly sought by the people,
and we presume that other localities will mani
fest like interest.
1t has, for some time past, been the practice
to wait until after the January session before
printing the Proceedings, and delivering
the work just before the succeeding October
session. BY this practice. the printed proceed
ings have been withheld so long that all interest
in them have been lost and the work itself be-
come useless for any purpose except waste
paper.
