WASHINGTON, November 27.-The COM
mittee appointed at a recent meeting oi
the Society for the Advancement OF Sci
ence, to wait upon the President and
make certain recommendations relative to
the United States Signal Service, have per-
formed that duty in an interview with the
President short time ago. The commit.
tee presented the views OF their Society as
expressed at its last meeting. The most
important recommendation made was that
the new Chief Signal officer should be
man Of eminent scientific attainments.
After some conversation on this point the
President asked the committee to name a
man. The chairman OF the committee
then named General Abbott, OF the En-
gineer corps. The President thanked the
committee for their kindness, but did not
indicate what action he would take. The
nomination OF General Abbott is admitted
10 be great concession on the part OF the
civilian scientists, who have been under
stood TO hold the opinion th at q person
bearing a commission in the army could
not be scientist OF any merit. 1t is un-
derstood that the committee propose TO
besiege Congress with a petition to detach
the meteorological branch Of the service
from the army signalling and set it up as
civil bureau, aud direct the President TO
appoint civilian as its chief.

BAND OF BHDOUINs.
The Peculiar Party that has Dropped
Down on Boston.

Down on Boston.
New YoRE, November 27.-There has
arrived in Boston from Judea, by way OF
Italy, Paris and Antwerp, a party OF Rep.
resentative Arabs and Bedouins, the party
numbering also one whirling dervish, or
"Holy Man." OF the Mohammednn faith.
This party is under the direction and in
charge Of Professor Rosedale, himself q
native Of Jerusalem, Jew Of the tribe Of
Levi, but, 1t is understood, convert Of
recent years 10 the Christian faith and re-
ligion.
The party consists OF ak individuals
besides Professor Rosedale. five Arab
shiekhs aud Khawadjas, all, 1t is said, con-
verts at the present time TO the Christian
religion, and one whirling dervish, who is
a priest OF the Mohammedan faith, and
carries with him all the belongings OF his
holy order. These men, although all
Arabs, and speaking the Arabian tongue
as their native Language, are yet Of differ
ent localities in the Holy Land, and no
two OF them speak in exactly the same
dialect, though they have no difficulty in
understanding each other. These dialects
are bRlu 10 ulueT bIuiILaIIy VIII thOoo Va

As native manager OF the party, coad-
jutor and right.hAnd man OF Professor
Rosedale, appears Khawsdja selim Hash.
mi, who some time since became known
in all parts Of the world as an African ex-
plorer, having accompanied Stanley in the
iatter's search after DR.. Livingstone, as in.
terpreter, guide and warrior, and once, it
is said, having urged the expedition for
ward after Stanley himself had become in.
clined to give It up, or change direction.
Selim Is now twenty.one years old, q se.
date, earnest looking Arab, with quiet res
olution written on every feature, and q
couutenance strikingly full OF expression,
II It Is not fairly handsome. He alone OF
all the natives Of the party speaks Eng
lish, and this with very little foreign &C.
cent or pronunciation. He first learned
the language when with Stanley.
