SOLID (NON)SENSE, BY OUR PHELLX

oULhD N-NON JDENOE, Dl OON THELIA.
The man what "clips" tor the Portland
Bee is kuss of the first water. He is a
kuss in that he stole from the columns of
the STAR, the item on "Single Cussed
ness" and, by inserting the words, "Fittb
street," made it appear as original mat
ter in his own paper. We hardly ex'
pected to see an exhibition of such
downright kussedness on the part of a
paper of the pretensions and actual high
standing Of the Bee; but, in view of the
humble origin OF the item and the COM
piment implied in seeing city daily
steal it, the base indication is freely for
given; provided aIpays that you don't

words of con profound relic of the
past, Gen. Dix, or Den. Clicks, { we have

spot him on the draw --or foot him on
the shag--or-layo on Macduf, and

The other day man was observed
walking down the main street Of Snoho-
mish City, with Il pair OF shoes, last to-
gether 10y u string attached to either
heel, and slung across lis shoulder in a
careless manner. He was in his SHIRT
sleeves and his shirt was flannel one;
had on bran new pair OF suspenders,
and, very wisely, took the whole width
of the street between the sidewalks to
pursue his perambulations. Finally, he
reached the porch of the SnOhomish EX-
change, where he took sudden notion
that he was President HAYES, and held n
reception and made speech to the edi-
ticatou Of the bystanders. II wasn't
long, however, until he took another no
lion and laid down in mud.puddle -
and the fellows said, they did, they said
he was drunk.
Centennial celebrations are getting
stale. They have unearthed every old
sinner and saint of by gone centuries,
whose age by hook or crook, could be
made to suit, and celebrated his Centen.
nial. We are sorry. in contemplation of
these facts, that we are illustrious; Tor
we had hoped at the close of our stormy
and eventtul career, to rest undisturbed
in nm honored grave, under the benign
shade OF simple wceping-wilow, or
sentimental sage brush. Ali, mel It's
sad, very sad, to know that, one hund
red years after his demise, the liieless
remains OF poor Phelix must be dragged
forth from the grave foi an idle Centen,
nial celebration.
In the course of a few days, q young
man in this office proposes to write a
treatise entitled: "What l knew about
Boils." He now has one IN embryo on
the southern extremity of his elegant
roboscis, which, while it is an unhealthy
climate for bois, has the advantage of
being eigibly situated for scientific OBJ
servation, which is the reason he has it
there. II he becomes permanently cross
eyed in investigating it, then he can
proudly say that he is a martyr to scien-
uic research, in the interest Of his fellow
man for whom his affection boiled over.

A Howl From Chicago.

There was lady at the opera who
attracted much attention. Her head
was an astonisher, and eff ctually hid
the stage from the view of all those
who were unfortunate enough to be
seated behind her. It was amusing
to see the anxious eyes OF the unfortu-
mates lodging this side and that to
catch glimpse Of some interesting eli
max in the acting. 1t was not the head
of the lady that was remarkable, but
the makeup OF jute and hair which
lowered grand, gloomy, and peculiar"
above the place where the brains are
usually located. On the top of the
tower sat q jaunty white bonnet, quite
neat and becoming, which had evil
IDENTIFY been fastened firmly in its place
by some artistic milliner sitting on top
OF two-story step ladder. OF course
men do not know what is stylish and
stunning. but if such is going to be
the fashion in headdress, we want to re-
turn at once to the good old Puritan
and Quaker method, of women on one
side Of the house and men on the other.
Just look over the audience and see
the number of polite men who do not
wear any hair on the top of their heads
The example ought to be worth some
thing. 1t is to be hoped that American
women will not adopt the two-story
head dressing; it is simply hideous,
and has not redeeming feature.-M-

even with complaining woman. He
was travelling in Italy and had taken q
seat in q railway carriage, when, per-
ceiving that there was lady in front of
him, he Immediately threw away the
cigar which he had been smoking. But
this did not satisfy the lady, who at
once referred to tho improperly OF
smoking at all, as the smell Of tho
smoke remained on the clothes and was
very disagreeable. II will not annoy
you, my dear lady, said the gentleman,
and he jumped out of tho carriage and
emit red another in haste. It was Sec

time to change as tho train had started.
At his side he had countryman who
had walked evidently through not very
perfumed fields. His clothes we're in

whole Compartments. Happy thought!
"Have you ever travelled tirst class ?"
said the gentleman to the countrymau.
"Never, sir" answered the man. "Thon

Arab Life in the Syrian Deserts"

This was the subject of DIR. Merrill's
lecture at the Lowell Institute, Boston,
!Le other evening. The region is one
! u great historical interest. yet it is oc
<7picd now only by tho wild Bedouin.
Without the group of black tents, the
herds of camels, and the vast moving
caravans the picture Of the desert is not
complete. The wars of the arabs are
not bloody, and their battles resemble
those of Homer rather than those of
Won Moltke or General Grant. They
despse manual labor, and employ
Christian fellaheen or n mental, class
Of Moslems to till the soil for them.
Their food is, scanty-rice, grease,
cracked wheat and sour camels milk,
&c., and their dishes are very uninvit-
ing. Arab women who do the cooking
are very filthy in their habits. Yet the
Arabs make excellent coffee, which is
drank with their guests as ceremony.
The men always make the coffee, which
might account for its good quality. In
aud about their tents mon, women,
children and animals have about equal
rights. The tribes with which the
speaker had most to do numbered from
400 to 1000 and 4 900 tents each. Great
tact prudence are required to live and
travel among them in safety. Kind
ness, tirmness, and some small presents
generally open the way to their conf
dence and favor. Hospitality is but
one of their noble traits; yet, on the
other hand, they can steal and murder
If their interest demands it. In fact,
they have reduced throat cutting to o
fine art. The women are regarded as
inferior to tho men, and are very ignor-
ant and degraded. Their condition is
wretched, yet possibly they could be
reached and elevated by the efforts OF
self.sacrificing Christian women, were
they to go among them and live. The
women, however, are not kept so So
cluded as are the Moslom women in the
towns. The men arc, as rule, very
bright, and enjoy a good story or
Joke. They compose songs and rhymes,
which are repeated for the entertain.
ment Of the camp, night after night.
Some Bedouin children havo occasion
ally found their why into the schools
OF Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Beirut, and
Damascus. Under favorable circum-
stances those people might possibly be
reached by civilizing influences. The
lecture abounded il amusing and en-
pertaining incidents which came under
the speakers own observation while
prosecuting his work in tho desert
