A correspondent Of the Concord Non
itor, writing from Jerusalem, says /:
'sThe women do the chief part of the
marketing, bringing in what they have
to sell in baskets carried upon their
head, which gives them very erect
figure, and easy, nimble step. The
open market is on the side of lions
Hill, fronting on David street, an ele-
walton so slight from the street that it
would hardly be called q hill in New
Hampshire. Many OF the women bring
in baskets Of roots Of trees for fuel.
which are sold by weight, and the
whole quantity Of fuel in the wood mar
ket Of the city daily. would not make
more than o cord. On arriving, they
place their baskets and themselves on
the ground, cat some bread and radish
tops, and wait for customers. The men
come in with donkeys, unload them,
take q smoke, which lasts most of the
time until they are ready to return
home, which is any time from noon to
night, when the men ride and the
women walk, and frequently drive the
tlonkeys for the riders. In fact an Arab
woman is treated very much like dom
key by the average Arab man, and il
more Of Q beast Of burden than CONF
panion."

The Martyrs of the PIague-187e.

IsAw them in the city
Beside the plague-struck bed,
Their hearts Of heavenly pity
For every sufferer bled;
And wheresoe'er, like angels,
Their blessed ways might lie,
Amidst the dreadful pesiilence
Their help was ever nigh.
And still, though worn and weary,
They held the dying head,
And in the parting dreary
A benediction said:
Then with the living stood they
by couch and bier and grave
Till plaques black fingers smote them,
Nor Mercy's own would save.
But o! the splendid story
OF all that they have done
Shines in their crown OF glory,
The kingdom they have won.
From hearts and homes of sorrow
Their sacred praises rise,
And with the tears of thousands
Shall bless them in the skies!

Vicksburg Herald. The question of
a whipping-post for petit criminals in
this State has been somewhat agitated,
but to no purpose. As an exchange
aptly says, the newspapers throughout
the country are generally disposed to
look upon the whipping-post as relic
OF barbarism, yet there Is nota peni-
Tertiary in all the land where horrors,
in comparison with which the whipping
post is an engine of mercy, are mot al
most daily perpetrated in the punish
saent of criminals.

What a Woman's Glove Holds.

A woman's glove is to her what his
vest pocket is to man. But il is more
capacious, and in ninety-nine instances
out of one hundred it is much better
regulated. A man will carry two dol
lars worth of small change, four
matches, half dozen tooth picks, g
short pencil and q pack of business
cards in his vest pocket and yet never
be able to find nickel or match or 9
tooth.pick or q pencil or q card, when
he wants it. Not so with a woman.
She has the least bit OF q glove, and in
that glove she carries the tiniest little
hand and wad of bills and memo
randa for her intended purchases, and
dress goods samples and car tickets and
maybe diminutive powder rag. We
have no idea how she does it--how she
manages to squeeze those thousand and
one things into that wee space. But
she does it every time, and the glove
never looks the least bit discomposed
or plethoric or rufiied. And when the
woman wants any article concealed
about that glove abe doesn't seem to
have the least trouble in the world get
ting at it. ALI that is required is o
simple turn of the wrist, the momentary
disappearance of two fairy fingers and
the desired article is brought to light.

Crocodile Tears.

Mr. Philbrick, among many other
living curioslties, possesses an alligator
about half-grown and an infant which is
old enough to crawl and 60 about the
yard unattended. A strange attach
ment existed between the alligator
and the infant. the former being 80
docile that the friends frequently spent
hours during the day in play with each
other. The alligator would amble
clumsily to his tank. take . sportive
dive, and returning. he would embrace
the little one, 80 to speak, and give un-
mistakable evidence of delight in re-
ceiving tender caresses in return. So
secure seemed the friendship between
them that Mr.. Philbrick never thought
of harm, and left the playmates to
themselves to pass the time as suited
to their inclination. The friendly re-
lations did not last long, however, for
Mr.. Philbrick was startled, about 10
o'clock on Wednesday last, by agoniz-
ing screams coming from the back yard,
and rushing out he found to his horror,
that the alligator had bitten the little
follows arm almost entirely of, the
fraction of limb dangling by slender
bit Of cuticle. The poor suffering little
thing moaned and wept bitterly, and
the alligator seeing the distress he had
created crawled up to his victim and
shed copious tears of sympathy, his ex-
pressionless countenance giving him
the appearance of q subdued and sem
timental ass. Mr.. Philbrick severed
the lacerated member, dressed the stub
carefully. and the animal is now able
to waddle about on three legs. We
have often heard of crocodile
tears" but until Mr.. Philbrick's state
ment our faith in their existence could
have been easily shaken. --Ialiahassa
