Scenes in Kandahar.

The coppersmiths are just as busy,
and rather more noisy the open shops
are crowded with men, some knocking
the pots into shape, others engraving,
some eating, others idling, while the
front of the shop is choked with vessels
for sale; and outside, on the ground,
one or two men are occupied in cutting
out different patterns from copper
sheets. Huge open cooking-pots piled
one upon the other, salvers of all sizes,
portly samogdrS or tea urns with curved
spouts, brass handle, and charcoal
burner complete. Long-necked water
bottles with spouts foot long, washing
basins with top-strainers, hookah stands
shaped like our Indian water-Serais, and
tall light-burners, arranged both for
candle and oil These candle-sticks
are curious, and at first you cannot
quite make out what they are intended
for the pedestal stands on dish and
takes to pieces, one part being joined
by a screw, which works the wrong
way as a matter of course. The stem
rises from the center of the dish and
carries a fair-sized bowl; reversed on
this bowl rests large open vase, and
the top of the stem is made to carry
candle but if oil is to be burned, the
stem is prolonged to carry smaller
bowl reversed, from which the open
childish springs. Another was on quite
the same principle. except that the
vase was omitted and the bowls were
fashioned like palm-leaves, bending
over. The object of the bowls being
reversed is to reflect the light The
whole of these utensils, with the ex-
ception of the cooking-pots, are en-
graved in different flower patterns.

Just as 1t Used to Be.

Now it was so that when the stars
were glittering II the skyne, and all
the worlde was in deep sleep gewrap-
pen, ensave only the festyve votaries
of the dance, that Hoofitlight, the mar
ried man, glode himself around the
roome in the masqued ball, enholden
his rapturOus arms within the fayreSt OF
the fayre unknowne. To hymn delight
ed she, the fayre, soonway enwhispered:
L" Prithee, sir knight, and by'r lady it
bethinks me that / knowen thee, an

This did Sir Hooftlight much englad-
den, and to the maiden masqued, she
whom he yet did still the more en-
squeeze, he quothe: =" Now, my hall
dome, thou fayr and sweet unknown, l
know thy dear and dulcet voice. l will
by honest knighthood lay thou art my

Low speaker the fayre one an say
that it was she. And then the knight,
with fondest love impressed, besought
that in the curtained window seat he
might but have one peepen at her dear,
sweet face, and she, the fayre reluctant,
followed him.
And when Sir Hoofitlighte remover
her envious masque, he kissen her not,
for he knew Galbraska, the mother of

"A case which has recently been de-
cided by the Tribunal of the Seine is
worthy the attention of anybody about
to enter into the bonds of holy matrimo-
ny with Frenchman or French woman.
The French law takes no cognizance of
a marriage entered into by French
man or French woman in foreign coun-
tries unless it is contracted according to
French rules. As the latter are very in
tricate, and as it is perhaps too much to
ask an eager bridegroom or a
blushing bride to study the Code Napo-
leon, the only safe method is to be mar
ried at the French Consulate. In the
case alluded to the husband and wife
had been married in London four years
before, and several children were born
of the union. The marriage was con-
tracted in entire accordance with the
laws of England, but the French tribunal
held it to be null and void. The mar
riage law of France is the direct out
come of the horror of a meSalIia1ace
which was so strong under the old re-
gime, and the new order of things ought
to bring a more cosmopolitan view into
favor.

Not long ago a new railway was
opened in the Highlands. A Highlander
named Donald heard of it, and bought a
ticket for the first excursion. The train
was about half the distance to the next
station when a collision took place, and
poor Donald was thrown into a park.

MISCELLANY.

JEWS REoArNING THEIR LAND.-Judg-
ng BY reports, which appear tolerably well
confirmed, the Jews are little by little taking
possession of their ancient patrimouy. Eighty
years ago the Porte permitted residence in the
Holy City to only three hundred Israelites. ~
Forty years ago this number was raised, but
the Jews were obliged to reside in a special
quarter of the city which bore their name
This last restriction, however, disappeared in
its turn ten years ago, and since then the
Jews have bought up all the land in Jerusa-
lem that could be bought, and have even
built entire streets of houses outside the
walls. Synagogues and Jewish hospitals have
multiplied. The German Jews have no less
than sixty charity associations, and in the m
terror of the city one may count already 20
congregations. Two journals have been es-
tablished. In the Rothschild and other jew
ish hospitals 5000 patients are ministered to
annually. A Venetian Jew has given 6O,ooO
francs to found school of agriculture IN
Palestine. Baron Rothschild, at the time OF
the last loan of 200, 000,0 900 francs made to
Turkey, accepted as security mortgage on
the whole of Palestine. Owing to the Jewish
immigration, the population of Palestine has
more than doubled during the past ten years.
