Two Arabian Horses 0f the PuFos {
Blood and Best FORn.

Blood and Best Form.
In March last, when General Grant,
the course of his cruise in the Wanda.
liza, came to Constantinople, his first
visit was paid to the Sultan. Imme-
diately after this interview His Maj
esty charged Munir Bey, the Master
of Ceremonies, to present the General
with an Arabian horse from the Inn
perial stables. Accordingly anumber
were led out, and one chosen and set
aside for him; but owing to some
misunderstanding the gift horse wss
not sent, and the Vandalia sailed
without him. Recently, the question
having been revived, the stsed In
question was hunted up among the
$40 horses which compose tho imperi-
al stud. He was found, and, accom-
panied by second hsrss, also for
General Grant, transferred to the care
of the American legation. Arrange.
ments have been made TO send them
IN few days ON the Norman Nom
arch, a steamer of 1000 tons capacity
which will probably sail dirict to New
Haven. They are to be housed On
deck, provided with canvas belts to
swing in in rough weather, and treat
ed as saloon passengers. So 1t is to
be reasonably hoped that at the end OF
their thirty days passage will ind
them both sound in wind and limb.
One is q dapple gray Of fair size, and
having all the traits characteristic Of
the Arabian blood-small, well set,
restless ears, wide pink nostrils, and
large, soft eyes, waving mane, and
long tail. reaching almost to the
ground, and q skin of such delicaey
that the stroke of lady's whip IL suf-
ficient to draw blood. The other stall
lion has all these points. He is .
glossy black, with white star on tho
forehead and white hind feet When
the long forelock falls over his fore
head the large, black eyes have all the
expression of Bedouin woman's.
Their gate is perfect, be it either tho
rapid walk, the long swinging trot, or
the tireless, stretching gallop. while
rein of one thread of silk is enough
to guide their delicate mouth. Let
one Of these Arabs, in the mad rush of
a charge or blight, lose hi. rider, and
that instant the docile steed will stop
as though turned into stone These
two horses are OF the famous Saktan
race, the purest Arabian blood, only
found In and near Dagdad. The dap
pie gray is appropriately named Dizzy
tan CThe Panther). and the black
(The One From Cairo). which
he derives from the fact
that he was bought at Cairo, although
foaled at Bagdad. For breeding pur-
poses as well as for saddle horses,
their blood and gentle temper are high
and I have no
doubt that our great General will be
highly pleased with the Sultan's gift.

Nothing more horrible has ever
been recorded than the plague now
raging in Morocco. A letter to gen-
tleman in Washington City, from the
United States Consul at Tangier. dated
March l9, 1879, give the following &C.
count of the suffering from the famine
aud from starvation. Living human
beings eating the dead 10 an almost
unheard Of horror. The Consul writes
as follows: 3 c

ing it's population. At Tangier alone
we are having from thirty 70 forty
cases Of typhus per day, and at tho
City Of Morocco the daily mortality
by typhus is from 200 to $50 persons.
The ordeal Of death 10 complete; par
enta eat their children, and ct Maya

Arabs eat their dead. The atmos-
pheres is impregnated with adsadly
poisons emaniing from the thousands
that are half buried and many left cut
exposed to the sun and rain. Tho
European residents take every pre-
caution, nevertheless nearly one-half
have succumbed to the dreadful di-
sease. The fatalist Moslems ridicule
all such expedients to avoid contagion.,
believing that all is written by God,
aud that they must die if so dscreed.
The garments of the dead by disease
are sold by auction for trine, and put

after is taken sick and follews in the

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.
The Vice President laid before
the Senate the credentials of Hon.
Nathaniel P. Hill, elected Senator
from Colorado, which were read
and placed On file.
Senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
in accordance with a resolution in
the Senate, adopted some days
since, reported bill to further pro,
tect the constitutional rights of
citizens and to punish violators of
the same. The bill was placed on
the calendar.
The Senate discussed the bill
making appropriations to pay the
claims allowed by the Southern
Claims Commission until the expira-
ton of the morning hour, when it
was laid aside without action, and
the Senate resumed the considera>
ton of the Deficiency Appropria-
ton bill. A lengthy discussion en-
sued upon the amendment appro-
priating $250,000 to supply the
deficiencies of the Department of
Justice, the payment of Deputy
Marshals, &c.
The bill to amend the Revenue
laws was presented, agreed to and
the bill passed. There were three
amendments by the Senate to which
the House disagreed. The first
was that striking out the clause, ''if
the House bill providing that any
person who rectifes, purifes, refnes
or manufactures less than 5000
barrels of proof spirits a year shall
pay one hundred dollars" The
House conferees insisted upon this
clause and the Senate conferees ac-
ceeded, leaving it in the bill. The
next disagreement was in regard to
Lucifer matches. The committee
agreed to retain the tax so that it
remained as under the existing law.
The third disagreement was upon
the amendments of the Senate in
regard to the taxations of savings
banks. These amendments we're
agreed to by the committee and re-
main in the bill.
The Senate resumed the consid-
eration of the Deficiency Appro~
priation bill, the pending question
being on the amendment of the
Committee on Appropriations, to ap-
prOpriate S25O,0OO for defraying
the expenses of the courts of the
United States, and for defraying the
expenses incurred under the en-
forcement act. This amendment was
the subject of an earnest discussion,
