An Arab Dinner.

While Miss Edwards, the author of
the admirable book of Nile-traVels re-
viewed in adjacent columns, was study
ing the ruins OF Luxor, she accepted an
invitation to dine with the British con-
sui, genial and cultivated Arab, who
had travelled extensively in Europe, and
huently spoke several languages. In
this entertainment the host confoTmed
rigidly TO Arab customs, probably that
his guests might observe the peculiar
table etiquette maintained among the
better class. When dinner was an
nounced, each guest in turn received a
dish of water upon the hands held over
brass ever, and towel, which was TO
be retained during the meal. In the
center of the brilliantly lighted dining
room stood round brass table with a
raised rim, and for each person were
placed chair, huge block of bread, a
wooden spoon, two tumblers, and a
bouquet. "To-night we are all Arabs
said the consul, Mustaphs Aga. "We
drink Nile water, and we eat with our
fingers"
The dinner was excellently cooked;
the courses were quickly served the
dishes were hot, and each was success
sively placed alone in the middle OF the
table. For an account of the manner of
eating, we borrow Miss Edwards lively
description:
Each dipped his own spoon in the soup
dived into the stew, and pulled off pieces
of fish, or lamb with his fingers. Having
no plates, we made plates of our bread.
Meanwhile, Mustapha Aga, like an ats
tentive host, tore of an especially choice
morsel now and then, and handed 1t 70
one OF other of his guests. To eat grace
fully with ones fingers, is fine art; TO
carve with them skiIlfDlly Is a science.
None of us, / think, viii soon forget the
wonderful way in which our host attacked
and vanquished the turlzey-a solid coli
lossus, weighing twenty pounds, and
roasted to perfection. Halt rising. he
turned back his cuff, poised his wrist
and. driving his forefnger and thumb
deep into the breast, brought out long,
stringy, smoking fraEment, which ne
deposited on the plate OF the writer.
Thus begun, the turkey went round the
table amid peals Of laughter, and was
punished by each in turn. The plan
which followed is always the last diah
served at an Egyptian on Turkish dinner.
After this, our spoons were changed
and the sweets were put upon the table.
The drinks throughout we're plain water
rice water, and lemonade. Some native
musicians played in the ante-room dur
ing dinner, and. when we rose from 'ne
t.bIa we washed our hands as before.

THE EUREKA HOMICIDE.

The following items. which appeared
in the Eureka Republican of Saturday.
the 18th instant, was the cause OF the
trouble between ALI. Chartz. one of the
publishers of the Republican, and Ed.
Rickar, q conductor on the E. & p. Rail-
road, in which the former shot and killed
the latter:
WH1sr!-Ws have been pledged to
secrecy in o love affair. Two swelling
hearts are getting eager to commence
beating as one; two souls are beginning
to hunger to possess the same thought.
and as they have mutually agreed that
neither the price of potatoes nor the
choice of q family grocer will ever be al
lowed to cast cloud over the domestic
horizon, il is reasonable to suppose that
the union will be happy one. "lts
hard to love-" but still harder for the
Republican to keep secret. However,
in this case it must be done; we may
want TO dead-head our way over the L.
& P. road some time, and to give this
secret away now would be suicidal.
Within three weeks We 0an give further
particulars.
In another column, on the same page,
among lot of personal items, this item
appeared:
Conductor Rickar has sent to the Bay
for swallow. tail and pair OF kids.
The only Inference to be drawn from
these two items by those who knew
Rickar was that he was about to be mar
ried. The young lady was not hinted at,
and as may be seen. not even an attempt
at any suggestion that any sensible per-
son could conceive to be offensive. Sim.
ply because he was '.joshed" about the
matter by few of his friends, he be-
came mad. and publicly wrote in a
saloon, and very probably with the in
tention of creating disturbance, the an
nexed note. which Mr.. Chartz found on
his desk the next morning:
