blesse, the Andrians. They are buried in
tombs different from those of the COM
monalty. Some of them may carry a
scarlet umbrella. The highest grades
may marry out of theirown rank, though
the inferior grades may not. For Others
the point of honor is that they may not
mend fence. None of them have any
more prescriptiye right than German
mobiles or Magyars to occupy State Offices.
The present Prime Minister, for in
stance, is not an Andrian, though his
family has been wealthy and powerful
for several generations Andrians are
often poor enough to be day laborers.
Cne set Of them monopolizes the craft of
making tinware. The sovereign is the
single sun and center Of Malagasy soci-
ETY.. When bricklayers' work has to be
done in the Queens palaces, "all ranks
of the people, from the highest to the
lowest, take pride in doing with their
hands some of the actual Nabor, under
the eye of their Queen, who sits on a
raised seat looking on" The sovereign
is an autocrat.
The lives and property of all her sub
jects are at her absolute disposal. 1t is
death even to block the way to her cat
tie. But she is as much a slave to the
ceremonial which environs her as her
subjects are slaves to her caprices. She
may not move except with an enormous
retinue to escort her. On her progresses
twenty to thirty thousand attend her. To
walk is almost forbidden. From the
great New Years festival which she cele-
brates by majestically bathing in a silver
bath, only screened from view of her
Court by the silken mantles her attend
ants hold, to the moment when her royal
corpse is yet more majestically inferred,
she is figure in an oft-rehearsed pageant.
The punctiliously regulated life Of the
sovereign is only an extreme illustration
of the minute observances which encom-
pass Malagasy life in all ranks.
The best part of 'Malagasy's year is
robbed from him by division Of days
into lucky and unlucky. Out of the
twenty-eight days of month twelve
only are lucky. Some months are alto.
gether unlucky. Children born in one
month, or on certain days Of Others
were, until the missionaries interfered,
put to death. 'The newborn infants
head was placed face downward in a
shallow wooden dish filled with lukewarm
water" In one Malagasy tribe child
born on day of ill omen is buried alive
in an ant-hill. The Hovas love Their
children, yet all children born in an un
lucky month had formerly to be laid
down at the entrance of the village cat
tle-fold, that the oxen might be driver
over them. The present prime Minister
survived this ordeal of hoofs and horns

Money Won't Do.
[Spectatsr.l

Money can secure so much, and gives in
many directions such freedom to the will and
so much OF concrete reality to the fancy, thai
the man who possesses it frets when he per
cieVes that his powers will in other directions
do so little. He feels like potentate who is
stopped by some obstacle quite tri1ing, but
lmmovable; or magician whose genius Can
not obey him, except to secure ends which he
is just not then seeking to obtain. Money for
example, will purchase alleviations from
pain, skilled attendance, good advice, and
soft beds, but it will not purchase the dis
missal from pain itself. If you have a can
Ger, millions are no help. A millionaire may
have toothache, and in toothsche feels, on
account of the money which places all
the dentists at his command, an additional
pang. "Here am l, who can buy all the help
there is, and of what use Is that to my pain?"
The sense that money will aid volition in
80 many ways deepens the pain, when it is of
the kind in which money is powerless, as it
is in almost all serious questions of health.
The Marquis of Styne is not the less aggriev-
ed by his liability to madness because he is
so very rich, but the more aggrieved, as q
man who knows his own strength to be un-
usual and finds it just sufficient. That habit
ual complaint of the rich that money will not
buy affection or happiness, or even immunity
from pain, has in it something of irritation
as we'll as of pathos, and springs often from
an inclination to contend, as of one who is
unjustly deprived of something. The work.
ers have need to be solicitous about health,
but it is the rich who coddle themselves and
the reason is not so much the passion for
comfort, as the additional sense of the value
of health, which their inability to buy it with
money brings home to them more clearly
than to other men. A rich man who wanted
water, say in a shipwreck, and could not get
it, would feel in his riches, if he thought of
them at all. an addition to the pain of his de-
spair; and there are wants nearly as urgent
as water towards which money gives just as
little aid

The United States Constitution and law
give citizen of one State right to sue ,
citizen of another State in the United State
Courts when $500 is involved. Tilden, a cit
izen OF New York, has an undoubted right tc
sue Hayes, citizen of Ohio, for $3.50, 600. il

March 4, 1880, to which office $50 alleges
IIlden) he was elected in 1875, but which of.
flee Hayes wrongfully entered and received
the emoluments thereof, and now detains the
same from the plaintiff.
To this suit, which Tilden has the clearest
right to bring, Hayes could plead only three
pleas 1. The general denial, which raises
all questions of fact; 2. That the highest tri-
bunals of Louisiana and Florida-to wit. their
Returning Boards on the day of-,awarded
him the ELECTORAL votes Of those respective
States where he (Hayes) had an undoubted
majority, elected him President, therefore the
plaintiff ought not to recover etc. 3. The
award of the Electoral Commission. To this
second plea Tilden would reply that the
awards of the Returning Boards were OBJ
tained by Hayes by Fraud and Fraud vitiates
everything This would be perfect reply.
and would open up the question of the hon
esty of the Returning Boards. To the plea
OF the Electoral Commissions award the re-
ply would be the sixth section of the act Gre
atipg the Commission, and which expressly
reserves to Mr.. Tilden the right to 90 into the
United States courts and assert his rights.
notwithstanding the award of the electoral
bill. This would be perfect reply in law.
Thus the issue would be made up. Hayes
could afford facing his antagonist Each par
ty would be emitted to Jury. to witnesses,
and all papers. Now that is just what the
Republican party is aching to have done, and
just what Mr.. Tilden and the Democratic
party dare not do, because the frauds COM

Tea and Modern Society.
tLondon World.l

Our ancestors drank spirits, our grand
mothers drank beer, We drink tea. 1t is
probable that our nature is largely modified
by the articles of our daily diet; and the ex,
tensive fashion of tea drinking cannot but
leave traces on the history of morals. We
are now becoming more sensitive, more high.
ly strung, more nervous-tea is exciting; our
appetites as rule are more jaded, more Ca
pricious-tea is stimulant; our refined ma
lures turn from gross and heavy feeding-tea
is delicate drink, can be served in pretty
china, and among luxurious and artistic sur
ronndings; we are Intellectually Inclined
Tea is a sOlace to the brain; our poetry is full
OF the weak complaining passion, the out
spring and yearning, the purely feminine con-
stitution of the mind-tes is essentially a
womanq drink, Thus, to the class who es-
chew realism and the plain practical, barren
ness of ordinary life; who desire to be in
tense, who look upon a sickly, sentimental,
cloytng kind of art as the sole aim and OBJ
Ject Of existence; who sob and burn and
culver; and, though pale and haggard in ap-
pearance, yet contrive to enjoy fair amount
of pleasure and good health-to this large
and ever growing class, tea, with its concon-
itants of idleness, talk and beauty, necessa-
rlly appeals very strongly.

From the San Francisco News-Letterl
Did you, gentle reader, ever notice the row
of bald-headed old buffers who throng the
front seats of the parquette at the Bush
Street Theatre? They sit and wag their old
bare polls, and smack their toothless gums
whenever the squads OF pretty girls come on,
whether middies, staff officers, pages or stu
dents. 1t is all the same so long as their legs
are well displayed. Bless the old boys heart! |!
There is kick left in them yet, but how the
girls must laugh at them! We can imagine
the sort OF thing that goes on in the dressing
room, as this: ''Oh say, Mary Ann. did you
see that old duffer with the skating rink on
his head, that was trying to mash me in the
second act. Why he sent me basket of
flowers, and asked me to meet him by moon
light alone, but wrote him word that my
mother says mustn't, but that his lovely
flowers would always be fondly cherished,
and the old fool sent me another tonight
calling me his queen!" "Oh," replies Mary
Ann, ''sling him a wink it will do the old
chap good, and you won't miss it" ''Oh,
no" Eliza Jane, II won't waste my winks on
him; a Iod is as good as wink to blind
horse" And accordingly she gave the an
cient Adonis graceful bow, which sent him
up for the night, and made him feel quite
boy again.

ARABS FAREWELL THIS HORS =

Ny beautiful my beautiful! that standeth meekly by
With tiny proudly arched and glossy neck, and darl
and fiery eye,
Fret not TO roam the desert now with all thy winged
speed
l may not mount on thee again. Thou'rt sold, my
Arab steed!
Fret not with that impatient hoof snuff not the breezy
wind
The further that thou fyest now so far am behind
The stranger hath thy brdereinthe master hath his
gold;
Fleet-imbed and beautiful, farewell! Thou'rt sold,
my steed, thOurt sold!
Farewell! Those free, untired limbs full many mile
must roam,
TO reach The chill and wintry sky which clouds the
strangers home;
Some other hand, less fond must now thy food and
bed prepare;
Thy silky name BRAIDED once must be anothers care
Yes, you must 60! The Wild free breeze the brilliant
sun and sky,
The masters hOme-from all of these nv exiled one
must hy.
The proud dark eye viii grow less proud thy steps be-
come less fleet
And vainy shall thou arch thy neck thy masters hand
10 meet
All! rudely then unseen by me, come cruel hand may
Chide,
Till foam wreathes like crested waves along thy pant
ing side,
And the rich blood that in thee swels in thy indg-
nant pain,
TIL careless eyes that gaze thee may count each
Will they iluse thee? If thought-but no, it can
not be;
Thou art swift easy curbed 80 gentle vet so free
And yet II hapiy when thou'rt gone my lonely heart
should yearn,
Can the hand, which casts thee from now command
thee 10 return?
Slow and unmounted will I roam, with weary step
alone,
Where with fleet step and joyous bound thou oft hast
borne me on;
And sitting down by some green well, I'll pause and
sadly think,
Twas here he bowed his glossy neck when last saw
him drink.
When last / saw thee drink! Away; the fevered
dream is DER;
could not llv6 day and know that we should meet
more.
They tempted me, my beautiful! for hunger's power
is strong;
They tempted me, my beautiful! but have loved too
long.
Who said that had given thee up? Who said that
thou vast sold
lis false, It's false, my Arab steed! fling them back
their gold.
Thus, thus leap upon thy back and the distant
plains
Away who overtakes Us now shall claim thee for his
pains,
