"Arab Life In tho Syrian Desertl.''

This was the subject of DR.. Merrill's
lecture at the Lowell Institute, Boston,
the other evening. The region is ono
of great historic interest, yet it il oc-
cupied now only by the wild Bedouin.
Without the group of black tents, the
herds of camels, and the vast moving
caravans, the picture Of desert Is not
complete. The wars of the Arabs are
not bloody, aud tkeir battles resemble
those of Homer rather than those Of
Won Moltke or Gen. Grant. They des-
pise manual labor, and employ Chris
tan fellaheen, or q mental class OF
Moslems, to till the soil for them. Their
food is scanty-rice, grease, cracked
wheat and sour camel's milk, etc., and
their dishes are very uninviting. 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
and about their tents men, women,
children and animals have abost equal
rights. The tribes with which the
speaker had most tn do numbered non
500 to LOCO and ECO tents saea.

NEW YORK.

One striking fact in the election in
New York is that in the year next pre-
cedins the Presidential contest, about
10000 Democrats and Republicans have
bolted their regular candidate for Gov
ernor. This looks ike a great weaken
Inc OF party ties, yet not so much. in
fact, among the Democrats rs the Re
pubiicans.
II is shown that KELLY received nearly
$4,000 votes, and they were Democratic
votes They represented, doubtless, the
entire strength IN the Democratic party.
Very lew, il any, voted ior CORNELL.
They were not inactive nor indifferent
in the campaign. They had y preference
for another candidate than ROBINSON
and they voted for him, as a Democrat.
But the bolt against CORNELL was not
only larger than that against Robinson,
but it was OF the surly, indifferent, apa-
thetic character which shows badly Tor
a party's prestige. II CORNELL had kept
up with his associates on the Repub-
lican ticket, and had received all the
Republican votes, he would have the
full benefit of the Democratic detection
Of eighty odd thousand votes, or in other
words, his plurality over Robinson
would have been not less than $4,000.
But at the best it is not more than
5000, which is 5000 less than it would
have been except for the Republican
bolt, detection, apathy, or whatever else
il may be termed.

ANAyIONAh MILITIA.

Another grand scheme toward MILL
tarv Capitalization, or a nation with a
big n, has been concOcted by General
BEMET, the chief of the ordinance de-
partment at Washington, and Is the
boldest and most systematic in its con-
ception of any yet announced by the
Republican managers.
The details of this plan provide briefly,
first, for the distribution of force OF
100000 militiamen in the proportion OF
about 700 men to each Congressional
district and each territory; secondly, an
annual appropriation OF S4,OOO,OOO for a
per diem of one dollar to each militia
man present at an annual encampment
to last twenty days; thirdly, providing
the militia with arms and equip
ments exactly like those used in the
army, to remain the property OF the
United States; fourthly, creating corps
of militia inspectors, appointed by
the War Department, partly from
the army, but chiefly from "compe-
tent officers of the late war who
served on either side" who could "be
clothed with power, under the Secretary
of War. to make such general regula-
tons us are necessary to a uniform dress,
drill and discipline throughout the
whole body of our citizen soldiery;' fifth
ly, obliging each State to maintain one
or more rifle ranges, with suitable tar
get practice; sixthly, differing from the
army, as already mentioned ; seventhly,
providing for military education by fur
nishing an officer and arms to colleges
specially designated by the Legislature
of the State Interested from whose
graduates competent instructors Tor the
militia can be obtained"
1t will be seen that the scheme con-
templates virtual increase of the army
to 100000 men, which although nomi-
nallv a militia force, is to be supported
by the general government, and Differed
by appointees from the regular army,
and therefore to all intents and pur-
poses under the control and subject to
the orders of the war department.
All the clements of a military central
ization are conspicuously present in the
proposed scheme. 1t is intended to in
veigle Congress into endorsing and es-
taBlishing the organization OF force in
every State that would place the States
under what might be termed military
government, and what would in fact be
a standing army, commanded by the
Executive OF the National government.
We have no idea that Congress can be
induced to adopt what would in effect
be the heaviest blow yet struck at the
individuality of the States and the liber
ties of the people, but the attempt is no
less significant in showing the animus
of the men who are promoting schemes
of like character.

B.&O. EXTENSION FROM PITTS
BURGH TO CHICAGO.

Il is announced that a party OF capt.
talists have taken the project in hands
of building railroad from Pittsburgh
10 Chicago Junction, thus completing a
direct thrOu.hline between Chicago and
Baltimore by way of Pittsburgh and the
Connellsville road. The idea is to con-
meet with the new Lake Erie railroad at
a point about two miles from where 1t
crosses the Ohio river, near Beaver,
then proceed up Buiy's Run and
cross the State into Ohio, near Middle
ton. i'm ColumbianI county. The chief
points through which the road will pass
m Ohio are New Lisbon, Canton, WOOs-
ter. Ashland and Chicago Junction. At
this place it will connect with the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, which runs on
almost an air line to Chicago. The dis
lance between Pittsburgh and Chicago
will be 4l6 miles; and the estimated cost
ofthe new connection WILDE but ), 5OO,-
GOO, the principal part Of which has
already been raised.
We 10 not know what effect, It any,
the completion OF this Improvement will
have upon the further extension OF the
Hempfeld. II will, 1T least, give the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
pretty direct line between the sea-
board and the chief city Of the great
west without running through much OF
the territory Of West Nirginia-ot which
fact some of the gentlemen OF the Legis-
ture will probably make a note.

PARKERsBURG AND THE RAIL
ROAD.

The Parkersburg correspondent OF the
REeIsrER informs US, this morning, that
the Council of that city has authorized
the Mayor to call public meeting to
consider the question OF extending aid
to the proposed Wheeling and Parkers-
burg railroad; which, We presume, the
Mayor will do at an early day. Our cor
respondent, who is an intelligent and
well posted citizen of that place, has felt
the pulse of the Parkersburg public
pretty carefully, and he is convinced that
the disposition is to do the proper thing
in the way of furnishing aid to the en-
terprise.
The example set by Parkersburg in
callinga public meeting in this connection
should be initiated by the enterprising
citizens of the other counties interested;
and will be, no doubt, at an early day.
All along the route the subject is being
discussed with interest and earnestness.
The TYLER county Star says it believes
the people of that county are ready and
willing to DO their share in the work.
'The value OF such a road to the people
of TYLER" remarks the Star, cannot be
estimated. Timber that, for want OF
some way to get it to market, is almost
worthless, thousands of dollars worth
OF which is destroyed every year, would
become valuable; minerals, OF which we
have an abundance, will be taken from
their beds and add much to the wealth
of land owners; in fact the advantages
arising from such a road are innumera-
bic. Let our people go to work and Sc
cure this road"
The Parkersburg Se1.tind takes up the
project, and urges it upon the attention
of the people of that city and the coun-
ty along the route with will. We
hope soon to be able to chronicle a for
ward movement in Marshall and Wet
eel

SENATOR THURMAN.


The friends of Senator THURMAN pro-
test against putting him on the retired
list at the expiration OF his term in the
Senate, and a movement seems already
begun to retain his services in the Ma
tional councils.
1t seems to be generally conceded by
the press that his chances for the Pres
idency were buried in the defeat of Ohio.
That is the logical result OF the political
situation to-day, but we some
times forget how fast this coun-
try travels. We don't know, nor
can we scarcely guess what new
phases national politics may take on be-
fore the assembling OF the Democratic
Convention. The stone which the build
ers now reject may become the head oil
the corner.
But aside from the Presidential race
Senator THURMAN's services in the SEN
ate are Just beginning to be appreciated
now that his term is about to expire.
Ii is already known that what
is known as the THURMAN Act
relative to the Central Pacific Rail-
road, and which has been sustain
ed by the Supreme Court, will be
circumvented in the next Congress, and
rendered virtually null and imperative,
II is acknowledged that Mr.. THURMAN s
great ability and tact as lawyer and
a parliamentarian secured the passage
of this act, and he is perhaps the only
man in the Senate who is able to cope
with the great combinations which will
seek to destroy its force.
They have laid their plans with pre-
cision and foresight. They spent their
money, it is claimed, to defeat THUR
MAN in the last Ohio campaign, and with
the expiration of his term they would
move upon Congress with some assur-
ance of either repeal or modification
of this law that forces them to a just
compliance with their contract.
Says the New York Sun:
Looking forward to this coming con-
test between the corporations and the
people, the services of Mr.. Thurman are
needed in Congress, and 4 movement IS
ON foot TO send him TO the House OF Re-
representatives. from the Columbus dis
trict, where he resides. That district is
now Democratic, and though the new
Republican Legislature will doubtless
gerrymander the State, it is questionable
il they can change its political charac'
ter. Mr.. Thurman is said to be
averse to this suggestion, but he should
bear in mind that John Quincy Adams,
after having been President, considered
it an honor to represent his own people
in the House OF Representatives.
Mr.. Thurman served in the House
thirtv-four years ago. \ generation has
passed away since then, but he is still
strong, clear-headed, able to do good
work. and we'll equipped for the great
battle OF popular rights against corporate
arrogance. Such men cannot be spared
from Congress at a time like the present.

Parkersburg or some other point below.
As sign that public settlement favors
the proposition, this is encouraging.
WE do not remember to have seen
any one call attention to the marked
difference between English and Ameri-
can Office seekers. While the former
"stand," the latter "run." Just the
same difference prevails in other things.
A MAN in Bridgeport, Con, has been
tried for numbering his wife, and con-
victed by a jury. The court fined him
81 and sentenced him to three years in
the States prison. Wife murderers in
consequence of which, all over the
country, are greatly encouraged.
PATRONS OF Uncle Sans mail bags in
this State should bear in mind that We
now have two postoffices in West Vir-
ginia:exactly alike in name, except
single letter, viz: Charleston, in Kama
wha county, and Charletown, in Jeffer-
son county. Unless care is used, con-
fusion and missent letters will be the re-
suit.
A STATEMENT was made in these col
umns last week to the effect that Rev.
David Powell had been elected Presi-
dent of West Virginia College, at Elem
ington, rice Prof. W. Colegrove, resigned.
Such, we are informed, is by no means
the case. No successor to Prof. Cole
grove has been chosen. The latter will
continue tomake Pennington his home
and his postoflice address for the COM
ing winter at least.
THEY begin llife very early in New
York. a day or two ago seventeen
months old girl shot herself fatally. This
infant was not disappointed in love or
anything OF that sort which drives girls
10 kill themselves. She was just creep
inc across the floor and found loaded
pistol, with which she played until it
went oil and killed her. 1t is possible
the owner of that pistol did not get it as
a premium with, a religious paper, and
vet that might have been the case.
Ir was John @. Adams, ii we remem-
Der correctly, who, when called on to
contribute money for the heather, said
he would do so freely when ministers Of
the gospel were sufficiently enlightened
to preach from each others pulpits.
That condition of affairs in the progress
of civilization and charity for the opin-
ions of others, has been attained in New
York, if not elsewhere. DIR. Bellows,
Unitarian, on last Sunday, we see it an
nounced, filled the Jewish pulpit in that
city, and preached Christian sermon
to the Israeltes. As Father Jasper
would say, "The world do move"
CHICAGO expects TO clear about 81 ,0O0,-
600 out OF the 100000 people who are
expected to attend the Grant hippo
drome during the week. But, of course,
| this has nothing to do with the enthusi-
asm and the demonstrative spirit with
which the General is received. Chicago
is not selfish, and cares little for filthy
| lucre.- Washington Post
