ARABIAN DECEIT.

The Arabs Of Egypt, so travellers saw.
believe that to tell lie in the morning
insures good luck for the rest of the day.
II Is then favorite way of beginning the
twenty-four hours. If a liar is found ont.
lie is chagrined because he has not lied
clevcrly enough. Should his lie prove sue
cessful, he is as proud as if he had been
promoted to lucrative office.
The native servant of an English officer
hired boat to transport his master some
two hundred miles on the Blue Nile for
twenty five Turkish dollars. The Arme-
MAN owner of the boat was called before
the Pasha to ratify the bargain. Seeing
that II was European who wanted trans
rortation, he declared that it was impossi-
hle that his captain could have let the boat
at such low sum. The captain was sent
for and confronted with the servant.
Catching the owners eye, the captain
looked at the servant with surprise. Lift
ing up his hands and his eyes to heaven,
he exclaimed:

by the prophet, and by my eyes Ga solemn
oath with Mohammedans) "that / never

have let him the boat for twenty 1--WE dol.
lars?"
The Englishman was forced to pay n
higher price. But as soon as the parties
left the presence of the Pasha, then the
captain, going up to the servant, and burst

There is another grade OF third class

PUTTING AWAY WINTER CABBAGE
Though we have seen recommended vari-
GUS modes OF preserving cabbage through
the Winter, aud have tried several of them,
we continue To pursue the method we have
generally adopted for some twenty wears.
and which We have frequently described in
this department. II is simply to dig
slight trenches side by side, on some rising
or dry spot whence the water will readily
drain oil, in which stand the cabbage Just As
1t grows, sinking it up to the head The
rows can be as close together as the size of
the head will admit of. Cover with corn
fodder, straw or bean haulm. Then set
four posts so as to form 4 pitch, placing the
head against wall or board fence. Form
4 roof by bean poles, when boards are not
at hand, aud cover this with corn stocks
or straw. II ordinarily well done, the cab
bage will keep rs long as it is dcsircd-we
have usually kept ours until April and
May. We are aware that it is generally
recommended TO place the heads of the
cabbage in the ground with the stalks
sticking up. But having tried this way.
We found that the cabbage kept better and
fresher AS We recommend. To prove this
we have had cole -slaw in May.

RAILWAY TINE IN ENGLAND.-Thep gem
eral impression that the British railway
trains run much faster than any trains in
this country is not altogether correct
Some of our trains make time fully equal
TO them, though generally from point to
point, not along the whole line. The morn
ing train on the Pennsylvania road from
Philadelphia to New York makes the dis
lance, 80 miles, in hour u minutes, with
one stop, and returns in hour Is minutes.
with two stops-a rate Of nearly 30 miles
an hour one way, and of over 30 miles the
other. This exceeds the speed Of the fam
Gus Queens mail between London and
Hoiyhead, on which so many Americans
have travelled. The run there is not more
than forty miles an hour, which we often
surpass, but never for long distances. One
would naturally suppose that, in SO rapid
a land as this, the railway trains would be
10y all odds the fastest in the world They
are improving steadily, and W i'll be the fast
est, no doubt, before many years.

The Louisiana Bureau of Lami-

INQUIRY from various sources call
ing for information from farmers,
mechanics, laborers, business men
and capitalists who desire to settle

Our bureau has issued two dessrip-
tive circulars, with maps, for the
benefit of such inquirers. We have
sent off many circulars and copies
of Louisiana As 1t Is" and writ
ten answers in response to letters
of inquiry. Our bureau has opened
books to receive descriptions of
lands for sale, propositions to lease
lands, or to have lands worked on
shares-any propositions that may
enlghten the immigrant who wants
to come to Louisiana.
We will record all such descrip-
tons of lands and propositions in
our books, which will be open to
strangers and persons wishing to
purchase; and these descriptions
will furnish the bureau with an ad-
ditional fund of valuable informa-
ton for future circulars, and to be
used in our letters in reply to in
quiries.
As our board has no funds and
no income except the small amount
furnished by merchants and others

The Liquor Register.

The question of taxing the con.
sumers Of liquor has for long
time been debated among our com,
mercial men, and the success of the
Motfett register in Virginia has en-
couraged it's adoption here. In or.
der to learn the views of those who
had devoted time to the consider
alton Of the question, the represent.
alive of the N. y. Democrat called
upon Col w. +. Beasley, who rep
resents the new Clarke register.
After an interchange of opinions
Col. Beasley exhibited his register
to the reporter.
1t differs much from the Moffett.
In form it resembles a clock, being
round and supported upon short
standard. which is raised above the
counter, to which it is attached. On
the front only the units are shown
through glass plate, but in the
rear the register marks every turn
of the crank. The mechanism is
of positive motion, and the instru-
ment is beyond the reach of any
one who desires, to tamper with its
workings.
Col. Beasley, with much polite
ness, showed the reporter how
much it was q matter OF impossible
ty for any one, no matter how ex-
pert, TO gain admission to the In
terror of his box.
When questioned by the reporter
relative to the operation of the reg
lister in Virginia, Col. Beasley said
that at first the bar-keepers grum-
bled considerably ut it, bnt as time
passed ON they favored its adoption,
and now they were,, or at least the
major portion of them, warm advo-
Gates OF the movement. The State
sought to realize from tax upon
such luxnries as it could most GER
tainly realize from, aud naturally
the liquor trade was thought of.
The Clark register differs somewhat
from the Motfett, and its agent
claims for it.
l. Merit considered, it is the
cheapest, best and most accurate
register made.
z. Its mechanism and workship
is such that it cannot be turned
backward, or gotten out of order.
without destruction.
3. 1t cannot be made to ring with
out recording.
4. 1t is in permanently closed
case, and cannot be- tempered with
without easy detection.
5. 1t will record 1000 times q
day for over thirty-three years. al
lowing 800 days to the year.
6. 1t will record accurately until
worn out, and will last fifty years.
z. Its cases are made of the best
cast iron, beautifully japanned, and
the "coat Of arms" Of any State
it will be put on the case
without extra charge
Z. Every register warranted. and
on extra charge will be made for
the use of it.
9, Any one familiar with figures
can take the state of the register.
And it also prevents collision
between the collector and the bar
keeper.
