AtAnchi, II, 600 feet above the Pacific,
the hand-car is loaded with its freight
of six adventurous sight-seers, closely
braced together. 1t is of the ordinary
construction and appearance, and does
not offer any temptations to a pleasure
excursion down the precipitous and
tOrtuous gorge of the Rimac, except
that it affords an unobstructed view Of
the shifting grandeur and terrors of the
route. As we descend in our rough
vehicle, at the rate of go miles an hour;
flying across aerial viaducts, or dashing
through sepulchral tunnels threatened,
now, to be crushed between converging
mOuntain-walls, or precipitated from
pendulous terraces, the foaming Ri
mae emulating the maddening speed;
now glancing back to take last look at
the glistening pinnacles of the receding
Andes; or, straining eagerly forward,
to catch the first glimpse Of the royal
city of the plain and the shining ocean,
the magnificence of the scenery and
the magnitude Of Mr.. Meiggs's achieve
mcnt break upon us with fresh force,
and not for any peril of the way would
we forego the eXhilaration and novelty
of the trip. Far otherwise was it with
one of the party,-a stately commodore.
He, who could face unfinchingly Il
whole broadside of murderous missiles,
sprang from the car after ten miles over
the widest part of the route, declaring
that nothing would tempt him to repeat
such fool-hardy experiment. For the
rest of MS, the excitement and eXhilara-
ton of this mode of travel became so
attractive, that we often went up to
Anchi for the sole purpose Of making
the down trip.-ScribRer.

Art of Being a Grandfather.

Victor Hugo has just published a col
lection of delightful poems on infancy
and childhood, all new, under the title,
"The Art of Being Grandfather"
one of the happiest titles, to my think
ing, of all his works. 1t is from first
to last the song of his love of infancy,
and infancy's love of him. "The art of
being grandfather? 1t is very simple
spoil your grandchildren he seems to
say. And he goes on to show how he
spOils them. In one tender lyric, DRY
Bread" we have an account of little
Jeanne shut up in dark closet on this
meagre fare for some domestic crime.
The old man steals out to see "the pre-
scribed," and, to comfort her, passes n
pot of preserves into the gloom. The
powers that be of the household-all
those on whom in that dwelling 'repose
the safety of sOciety"-reproach him.

litical allnsions.) Jeanne promises, in

child knows you; she knows how weak
you are; she sees you laugh when
others are reangry with her. You make

order; you put an end to rule; you de-
molish everything!" The old man

ply to that. was wrong. Yes; it is

soil Of the central provinces. On the
other hand, the hOOfs are often rubbed
with grease, to cOunteract the drying
effect of the heated ground.
OF all the niceties of grooming,
docking and clipping excepted,
the Arabs are masters; and their
natural kindness to animals - a
quality which they share with most
Orientals, together with the care every
reasonable man bestows on valuable
article of prOperty-insures to an Arab
horse good treatment at the hands of
its owner. But Arab horses do not
commonly enter tents, nor play with
women and children; nor, in general
way, do they share the family meal, nor
are they habitually kissed and cried
over, as the imagination of some mar
rator has suggested. An Arab riding
for life has, indeed, been known to give
his only mOrsel of bread to his horse
rather than eat it himself-an act i'm
which self-preservation had as large
share as affection. Lastly, the stand
ing prohibition of horse selling from
Nejd has really nothing more romantic
in it than narrow minded application of
the principles of protective monopoly;
in other cases, reluctance to conclude a
bargain simply indicates that the offer
made was insufficient.
The weekly herald. [volume] (Cleveland, Tenn.) 1876-1888, 1877-08-09

A writer says of the Arab horses {:
Reared under an open shed, and early
habituated to the sight of man, to the
sound and glitter of weapons and to all
the accessories of human life, the colt
grows up free from vice or timidity,
and even acquires degree of intclli-
gence that surprises a stranger. Bar
ley and dates are their chief provender;
but the grass in the pasture grounds,
in the selection of which much care is
taken, is the ordinary nourishment of an
kept purpOsely scant. A good Nejdee
will canter twenty-four hours in sum-
mer time, and forty-eight in winter,
without once requiring drink. Raw
meat, dried, is occasionally given in
small quantities when extra exertion is
required; lucerne grass is employed
for lowering the tone. Geldings are
very rare. Tbe color that most fire.
quently occurs is gray; then comes the
chestnut; then white and sorrel; mot
tied gray and black are now and then
to be found; dark bay never.
Colts are ridden early-too early, in
deed-in their third or even second
wear, and are soon broken into steady
walk or canter, and to the ambling pace
which is the especial favorite with Arab
riders. Racing, an Arab amusement
from time immemorial, and the game
of "jerzed," a kind Of tournament, or
mock fight, with blunt palm sticks,
highly popular throughout the penin-
sula, complete the training as to wind
and pace. Saddles are seldom used In
Neid, and stirrups never; but both are
occasionally employed in Hijah and
Yeman. SO it is also with bts-the
place of which is taken in Neid by
halter ropes, the real guidance of the
animal being almost wholly effected by
the pressure of the riders leg and knee.
Shoes, too, are Of rare occurrence, nor
are they needed in the light, sand-mixed

Inns In the Orient.

Well do | remember am inn of this
sort in the little seaport of Phocis, on
the coast of Asia Minor, formerly
PhOcaa, which sent a colony to found
Massilia, or Marseilles. We ran in
there to make a lee in a heavy gale, just
making the entrance to the harbOr al
nightfall, and very nasty, uncanny
night it was. We mOOred close to a
small, dilapidated quay, that jutted out
in front of coflee-hOuse, which al
though scarcely visible in the gloom,
we knew must be dirty, dilapidated,
and picturesque, like everything else
in a Turkish town, as it proved on
further inspection. 1t was dusky as a
cavern, except in the centre, where a
pan of Goals threw red CLEANS on the
grotesque features of a group of sailors
lying on tattercd mats around the fire,
wrapped in cdpoteS, and enyeloped in a
haze of tobacco-smOke. A few leaky
wine-skins and casks, two or three old
flint-lOcks, a number Of pipes, ndrgileS,
cOtiee-cups, and broken mirror set in
mOther-Of-pearl, seemed to complete the
outfit of the primitive hostel, which,
as indicated by the mirror, served also
as barber-shop and a surgery. In the

pected to act also as barber, and bar

mon way of shaving in these shops is
for the barber to lay the head of his
customer on his knee, and, having
scraped one side of the face, to turn it
over and shave the other side. The

Equally entertaining in the retrospect
is the recollection of night spent at
small khan in the mountains Of
Arcadia. All of Saturday afternoon
we toiled up the gorges in Il terrific
thunderstorm, the lightning leaping
from crag to crag, accompanied by the
thunder's ceaseless roll. Across our
path rushed mOuntain-tOrrent, so
tOrtuOus that we fOrded it twenty times
between noon and night. Its bed was
dry when we first came to it, and the
last time we crossed it a furious, turbid
flood reached to the saddle-girthS,
threatening to sweep pus away. Drenched
to the skin, at dusk we reached little
hamlet, and Immediately took possession
of the wretched inn, consisting Of two
apartments, the stable, and, directly
over it, the room we slept in. A roar
ing fire was built; around it we dried
our bedding, as our eyes filled with
smoke, and our nostrils with the odors
of the steaming horses below; discussed
cold chicken, black bread, tea from our
tea-caddy-the faithful companion Of
our travels-and then to bed on the
floor, where, in spite of various other
Inconvenience, we slept as only the
weary can sleep.-Appletons' journal.

Kalgan commands one of the passes
through the great wall of China. 1t is
there built of large stone, cemented
together with mortar. 1t tapers toward
the top, being twenty one feet high and
twenty-eight feet wide at the founda-
tion. At the most important points,
less than mile apart, square towers are
erected, built of bricks. 1t winds over
the crest of the mountains, crossing the
valleys at right angels, blocking them
with fortiiications. The Chinese esti-
mate its length to be about 5000 miles,
but In parts more remote from Pekin
the wall Is of inferior construction.
There is nothing but dllapidated mud
rampant, as Colonel Prejeyalsky saw 1t
on the borders of ALASKAN and kansu.
1t Is said to have been built upward of
two centuries before Christ to protect
the Empire against the inroads of the
neighboring Nomads, bul the periodical
irruptions of the barbnrians were never
checked by this artificial barrier.

ROumanian HaCkdriYers.


These LipOvans, poor mutilated be-
ings, have resigned the joys Of home
and family, in obedience to rules of
their fanatical sect, and in exchange for
100 golden ducats, a carriage and pair
of horses presented as reward for their
self-sacrifice by the Starost and Synod
of their community. Honest, sober and
industrious, but stupid beyond express
sion, they have piled their trade for
years in the capital without learning
the names of the streets, not infre-
quently without acquiring word of
the language. DO you want to go any
where? Any attempt to explain would
be fruitless, even did you speak the
purest Russian; they look at you with
a vacant stare upon their broad, beard
less, Kalmuck faces, the only resource
left to either Roumain or foreigner Is to
pinch them on the side when you would
turn corner, in the back when you
have reached your destination. 1t is
not an encouraging element of progress,
and it is not surprising that the fierce
old Empress should have tried to stamp
out the heresy by the wholesale de-
structiOn of its disciples.

"Listen! There is some one coming.

The door opened slowly, a head
peeped in low down, then drew back.
"COme in," piped the old woman.
"The perlice arn't arter yOu-least-
way for harm. Captain, that's him
your boy Ned"
And as the Captain stood with out
stretched arms there crept i'm at the
doOr-who? what? The wan deformed
and dirty creature who had picked his
pOcket-whOm he had fed for the sake
of his beautiful dream-child-th

''That's him croaked the old crOne
again. "That's your boy-that's Ned"

down on an old box close at hand, and
hid his face and wept. His sobs shook
him terribly; they almost shook the
building. They frightened the old
woman, and set the policeman to rub
hing his eyes with his cuffs. The boy
stood and stared for a moment and then
vanished.
And what was the wretched father
thinking? So many thoughts, that
there are no words for them; but, first
of all, this horrible one-that that vile
little object, that wretched child of the
streets, was the darling for whom he
had searched so long.
"Better | had never found him."
moaned the Captain, "Or found him
dead !"
And just then little hand crept over
his knee. The thrill of hair was against
his hand, and piping voice said
meekly, "Please, Pm clean now. I've
washed myself"
The Captains swollen eyes unclosed.
They turned upon the child.
Some queer knowledge of his father
feelings had crept into his mind, and
he had tried to clean his face. A round
white spot appeared amidst the CRIME,
and out of it shOne two beautiful eyes,
that looked wistfully up into the Cap
tain's.
All of sudden, flood of such pitt
full tenderness as he had never felt be-
fore, swept over Captain Penryn's
heart, And the grief, and shame, and
wounded pride left it, to come back no
more.
"Ellen's eyes," he shouted "Ellen's
boy" and took his son to his heart.
"For his sake" he said softly, as
though he stood by the grave of the
beautiful dream child he had just buried
.'fOr his sake and Ellen's!"
And then he led the child with him.

1t is great misfortune to- have fret
ful disposition. 1t takes the fragrance
out of ones life, and leaves only weeds
where cheerful disposition would
cause flowers to bloom. The habit of
fretting is one that grows rapidly unless
