The quaint old town of Newburyport
was famed as the residence of many celeb
rites. Among them were Miss Hannah
Gould and Caleb Ceshing. Miss Gould
enjoyed a reputation as poetess co-exten-
sive with the Union. One of her poems.
s.Jack Frost" was fayorite in its day.
and still is to be found in some OF our
school readers. In her own society she
was known and farcd for her habit OF
making sharp epigrarns upon her neigh
bors. One of her shafts was shot at Mr..
Cushing in the shape of the following epi-
taph:
.'Lie aside. all We dead,
For in the next bed.
Reposes the body of Gushing.
He crowded his way
Through this world. rs they say.
And perhaps now he's dead, he'll be push
ing"
To this Mr.. Gushing replied, with some
gallantry, and quite as much truth:
s.Here lies one whose wit
Without wOunding could Int,
And green be the turf that's above her.
Having sent every bean
To the regions below,
She has gone down herself for a lover.

Scenes In Cairo.

The traveller who desires 10 see the No
hammedan at home can not do better
than to seek him In Cairo, and he finds in
the narrow, picturesque streets Of the old
parts OF the town scenes OF interest which
he may seek in vain elsewhere. When
be emeIges into the modern quarters the
change is remarkable. Though all the
tyranny OF the Turks has not sulficed tO
alter the indelible characteristics of the
place, and though the wide squares, the
fountains, the gardens, the arcsdes, the
Satered roads, the rows of villas have Il
half French look, the people who crowd
every thbrOughfare are as unlike 40 thing
European rs they can be.
Here, long string of groaning csmels,
led by Bedeuin in white capotc, carries
loads of green clover or long fagotS of
sugar cane. There, half dozen llu,-
gowned women squat idly in the midule
Of the roadway. A bro~n-skinned boy
walks about with no clothing on his long,
lean limbs, or lady smothered in yolum-
nous draperies rides by on donkey, her
face covered with transparent white
Ntil, duu NHtUS tS Il2ll 10 hCi
chin. A bullock cartwith small wheels,
which creak horribly at every turn, goes
past with its cargo of treacle jars. Hun
dreds of donkey boys lie in wait for q
fare, myrisds of haif.clothed children
play lazily in thegutters, turbaned Arabs
smoke long pipes and converse energeti-
call at the corners, and every new and
thea u pair of running footmen, in white
shirts and wide short trowsers, shout to
clear the way for carriage in which, be-
hind half drawn blinds, some fine lady OF
the vice.regal harem takes the air. She
is accom- panied perhaps by little boy in
European dress, and by II governess or
nurse whose boRnet and French costume
contrast strangely with the veiled figure
opposite.
A still greater contrast is offered by tha
appearance Of the women who stand by
rs the carriage passes, whose babies are
carried astrde gu the shoulder, or some
times in the basket, so carefully balanced
upon the head. The baskets hardly differ
from those depicted on the walls of the
ancient tombs, and probably the baby,
entirely naked and its eyes full Of black
flies, is much like what its ancestors were
in the days of the PharaohS. In the Older
quarters of the town the scenes are much
the same, only that there is not 30 much
room for observing them; and the trav-
eler who stops TO look about him is
roughly jostled by Hindbsd, the porter,
with his heavy bale Of carpets, or the
uncle of Aladdin, with his basket Of cop
per lamps, or the water-carrier, clanking
his brazen cups with an immense skin
slung around his STOPPING shoulders.

Wanted His Trousers.

A French journal tells how Paris
banker fell victim to his sharp bust
ness habits. which forbid him from act
iug on the principle that confidence be-
gets confidence.
At Royat, where he went to take the
waters, he met an absent-minded philoso.
pher, who works out intricate problems
while tearing of the buttons on his
waistcoat, and stands against a wall,
staring into vacancy, and leaving by
ISLANDERS under the impression that he is
not only blind but mad.
While tho banker was reading news
paper in the casino, the philosopher fixed
his eyes upon his neighbor's white duck
trousers, and began fidgeting the inkstand
with the end of the slip of wood geuer-
ally fastened to the newspapers in all
public reading-rooms.
The result was that tho inkstand,
pushed to the very end Of the table, hung
for second in tho balance, and then, top
pling over, emptied its contents over tae
snowy white ducks Of the unsuspectlng
banker. The banker jumped up, and,
shaking the almost unconscious philoso.
pher by the shoulder, showed him the
damage he had done, and insisted that
the pantaloons must be paid for.
The philosopher said that he would
send the money to the bankers room in
less than An hour. The banker, suspect
ing the shabby little man wanted to avoid
payment, demanded thirty francs then
and there.
The philosopher asked for receipt,
and paid the money. Then, turning to
the bystanders, he ssid,--
"Now, gentlemen, you are witnesses
that have paid for the trousers, and |
trust you will! support my reasonable re.
quest that the article of dress that have
purchased may be at once placed in my
possession ~
A laugh ran around the room az the
Academician advanced towards the tinan.
cier, and demanded the property he had
acquired. The wearer of the ducks prom
ised to deliver IL within an hour, but the
philosopher would not trust him.
The banker was finally compelled to
retire TO private room, take off the
trousers, push them out to the purchaser,
and remain in seclusion for an hour while
his servant was dispatched to his lodgings
to fetch another pair. The banker is now
known at the bourse as "SanS- -Culottes,"

On the authority of the London Lance
it is stated: "A man in a certain neigh
borhood had three daughters. Wishing

the next was girl he would never speak
to her. The next child proved to be q

he never would speak to his father, al.

DEATHS REV ELRY.

to spread out over more territory in
the South, and has increased alarm
ingly in places where it has existed
for the past two weeks. In New Or
leans, Memphis, Grenada, Vicksburg,
and other places, entire familles,num-
boring ten persons in some instances
have been wiped off the face Of the
earth. Physicians and nurses are
rapidly breaking down and it is diff
cult to supply their places. Very lib
eral contributions are going down
from the north, which do much to al
leviate the distress, but The agonizing
prayer is for frost as the ehectual ex,

THAT TRADE COLLAR.

Is proving very bothersome coin.
In tact it is not legal coin. 1t was
rather a fancy affair which Congress
authorized in 1878 to be used in our
trade with China, which has no coin
of its own. 1t was first made Il legal
tender for five dollars, but that was
repealed in 1876. There are about
$35, 100000 in circulation and the
Chinese ought to have them.
