a Strange visitor,

A decided sensation was recently created
In Now York, by the advent in that city
Of a Bombay merchant prince, 1lr. Esoo-
fallv lIiptala by namo, together with his
four wives, Vageerbal Allah Bundi,
ihahjah and Omdabal--all of them in
charge of fifth woman named Bhoonbal
and enucll, Abdolalla Esmaijee. In al.
diton to these were several other persons,
in the capacity of servants. The names of
the attendants are not easy to pronounce,
but as given to the reporters orc Goolam-
hooran, Oomcrkhan, Yagax, Railagor,
Imam, Khogoolla, Ballyay, Moorburak and
Zubrung. They all wore either turban
or icd fcz, with black tasscl depending,
and were for the most part dressed in half
European costume, but their master, tho
merchant-prince, was attired, with tho ex-
ception Of his neither garments, in true
Oriental style Of splendor. U1dcr loose
overcoat, which was carelcssly thrown
open. could be seen long garment of pale
pink, pending to the knees, on which was
worked mass of gold embroidery In a
bewildermcnt of fantastic shapes. The
merchant says his sole object In coming to
this country isto improve his mind by
travel aud observation.

Origin Of the Me rInO Sheep,

AS the ancient Greeks had no cotton nor
silk and very little linen, and as sleeps
wool was the principal texture from which
their clothes were made, they took pecu-
liar care to cultivate with especial care
such breeds Of sheep as produced very fine
wool. SUCH breeds were those of the
Greek city of Tarentum, situated on the
Tarcntlne Gulf. In order to improve the
fine quality of the wool still more, the
sheep were covered with clothes in cold
weather, rs 1t was found by experience
that exposure to cold made the wool
coarser. Thus clothing these sheep from
generation to generation resulted In very
delicate breed with exceedingly fine wool,
according to the law established by Darwin
in regard to selection and adaptation to ex-
terror conditions. This product of Greek
industry was transmitted by them to the
Romans, whose great agricultural author,
Colunella, states that his uncle in Spain
crossed the Tarentine sheep with rams i'm
ported from Africa, and ob.alncd q strong
or breed, combining the whitcness Of fleece
OF the father with the fneness OF the fleece
OF tho mother, and having obtained such
results the race was perpetuated The ab-
scnce OF other fine textures made these
Spanish sheep 80 valuable that in the be-
ginning of our era they were sold IN Rome
for 81, 900 In gold head, an enormous
price for those times, when money had
much more value than now. When the
Barbarians invaded Italy these sheep were
all exterminatcd, while the greater portion
OF the Roman possess ssions were laid waste
But in the less accessible mountains of
Spain the Moors preserved the breed, and
it is to them that modern Spain owes the
mcrino sheep, which arc the direct de-
sccndants of this cross breed of tho Crock
and African ancestors referred to. 1t is a
valuable inheritance, too, which that coun-
try owes to the combined Greek, Roman,
and Moorish civilization, and of which our
California wool~growers also earn the all
vantages, by the prosperity of this breed
OF sheep, which was there few years
ago.

AnerIoaniyfng London.

The opening OF the new hotel In Trafal.
gar Square marks one stage III what Is called
Americanzation III London. Our cousins
tell us that VIC have not succeeded In de-
veloping the genuine article; but we have
certainly made good many steps in that
direction. Whether the change is Or is not
an Improvement may be settled by those
Wise persons who have made UP their minds
as to the true significance Of modern pro-
grcss. 1t Is curious to remark that the al
teration in the character of English inns
was almost the sole case in which even
Alacaulcy could not preserve hi, entire
complacency when comparing our own
time with that of our ancestors. He tries
10 reconcile himself to tho admission of ou.'
relative inferiority by the doubtful con.
sidcration that good inns mean bud roads.
''lt is evident" he says, "that, all other
circumstances being supposed equal, inns
will be best where tue means of locomotion
arc worst" In the seventeenth century IL

and five or six nights lodgings between
York and London. Now lie finishes his

Gus fccding) during tie wrclched ten min.

lmpro>e Cd means Of travelling implies al
Increased number Of travellers; 1t means in
this particular case that whole classes which
used TO be scdentary have become movable,
anu that those who move, move ten tunes
Us often as before. If people make fewer
stoppages between London and York there
can DO no doubt that the number of propl.

creased ut much greater rate than tbo total
population. If the old roadside I'M il de-
serted, the inns in the great centors have
done much more than simply to alb ,orb the
custom Of their predecessors have
tapped new sources of demand.

A Picture Three Miles Long.

Most Of our readers have heard of, and
many may have seen, Banvard's great
"Panorama of the Mississippi" 1t Is said
that the author Of this immense work con-
cclvcd it's idea and determined on its exc
cution when he was mere boy, during u
trip across the Mississippi in row-boat ut
sunset. The story of his aftcr-lifo is a
record OF singular persistency aud success
in carrying out boyish dream.
When his father died, John Bunvard
was left a poor, fricndlcss lad, and OBJ
tanned employment with druggist But
so fond was he of skctching the lixencsses
OF those about hlm OH the walls with chalk
or coal, that his master told HIM he made
better likcncsscs than pills; 80 poor John
lost his situation.
He then tried other plans, and met with
many disappointnlents. Finally he OBJ
tanned enough money to begin his great
work. He bought small skitf, and set
or alone on his perilous adventure.
lie travelled thousands of miles, crossing
the Mississippi backwards and forwards to
secure the best points for making his
sketches. All day long he went Oh sketch
ing, and when the sun was about to set he
| either shot wild fowl OH the river, or haul.
ing the little boat ashore, went into the
woods, with his rifle, to shoot game.
After cooking and eating his supper, he
turned his bout over OH the ground, and
crept under it, rolling himself up in II
blanket to sleep for the night, safe from
the falling dews and prowling animals.
Sometimes for weeks together he never
spoke to human being. In this manner
lie went on skctching for more than four
hundred days before the necessary draw
ings were finished, and then he sci to work
in good earnest to paint the picture.
lie had only made sketches in his wan
derings. After these were completed,
there were colors and canvas to be bought,
and large wooden building to be erected,
for he determined to paint them on one
piece Of canvas, and thus make u pano-
rama.
When 1t was finished it covered three
miles OF canvass, and represented a range
OF scsncry three thousand miles in extent
and that all this magnificent work was
executed by a poor, fatherless, moneyless
lad, ought to make us ashamed of givinl
up any undertaking worth pursuing, merely
because II would cost us some trouble c.

The School Teacher Who "fsoards Round,o

The district school is not yet an entirely
bygone institution. When we say district
school we do not intend to speak of that
thrce-storicd institution that now stands on
an emtncnce, sporting cupola, and per-
haps flagstaff, as we sec it in 80 many
thriving New England towns. o, no
These are graded schools, with the prlma-
rics in the basement and successive stages
OF brain development above. The teacher
who prcsidcs over the destinies of these
several departments is called head master,
and perhaps boards at q hotel. But the
genuine district school, whose Significance
comes down from remote generations, IL
another affair. Its master is pedagog,Ie,
and he docs not put up anywhere, but
''boards round" The temple of knowl-
edge Of which he is the priest usually
stands upon the blcakcst hilltop In tho
community, because it is healthy The
cracks still admit the chilly winds, though
the committeeman promises to attend to it
when his wood pile Is up; and 30 master
and children shiver on through school
hours. AT their close tho social duties OF
the former begin. He IL not merely full
filling the terms of his contract 80 far ~
replcnishing the inner man is concerned,
but he is also becoming acquaj nted with
the parents Of those he Is called upon to
instruct. Tho luxuries Of rural life arc
spread before him. Butchering day pre-.
cedes him at each new place of entertain
ment. At one hospitable home he gets
sausagcs in links; at another sausagcs III
sacks, and still again sausagcs in Jars, 30
that he certainly cannot Complain Of lack
of variety. At every minute aftor y
o'clock III the evening the hosts yawn
subtends Il larger angle, until tho guest
takes the HINT and asks TO be shown to his
room. Here again is luxury and distinc-
ton. The frigidity of tho immaculate
sheets, tho oider and hollow echoes Of the
apartment tell him that perhaps that spare
chamber has seen the roses fade, tho frosts
gather and tho snow fall without being
profancd by snorc. Then he tumbles
into four feet Of feathers and dreams that
he is prince being smothercd by the or
dcrs oil cruel aud covetous uncle. Tho
district schoolmaster's season is now about
ut It's zenith. lie is able to tell how he
likes it, and If he is shrewd he is gaining
deeper lessons IN human nature and cnr-
tain phases Of life than the lessons his
| scholars are gaining from thor books.

The MRynOwor Guards in Line,

"Mayfiowcr Guards this way" shouted
small boy at Third avenue and Eighth
| street, New York. lie wore a rcd shirt
and glazed hat, and tinsel stripes decorated
his trouser legs. He stood at the head of
an Irregular line of boys waving wooden
sword. His comrades were rcsplendcnt in
rcd and white shirts, and were armed with
old campaign torches that had outlivcd
their usefulness.
'act intolinc, Jimmy" called the leader,
giving one Of his squad an admontory pokc G
in the rear.
"Lcmme alone, can, yer, growled the
lnsubordinate private, who was bont upon
displaying his uniform TO some small girls
Oh tho curbstonc.
Fall In, fall in" shouted their captain.
The 'Guards" fell In by fours. Those
who had no torches rested their hands on
their comrades shoulders In the rear
marched their standard bearer, who
bore small gaudily painted target bearing
the name of The company. The youthful
musician at the head wiped his nose with
the back of his hand and placed small tin
pipe in his mouth. He blew till he was
red III the face, and at laat evoked dismal
loot. "Forward, hurry up there p
screamed the captain, and the squad
marched up the avenue. Similar companies
were scattered all along Third avenue.
Some bore National flags. while others dis.
played The harp and and the shamrock of
Ireland. Boys who failed to find red shirts
took OIL their coats and shivered for tho
sake Of appearance In white. Occasionally
the dignity of the 'kangers' or Light
Guard" was marred by the sudden descent
OF an cnragcd woman, who fell upon cap
tain or private with shrill reminders of
household duties and led the unfortunate
youth OFT by the ear 1t was noticeable
that the various companies invariably
halted IN suggcslive pearness to cake or
candy shops.

The runners In charge OF the mail mack

The runners In charge Of the mail pack
cts are generally half-breeds, whose capaci-
tv for rapid travelling has been tested.
They arc not unimDOrtant men, either in
their own eyes or In the eyes Of other peo-
pie. But, with the exception of physical
endurance requisite to the maintenance of
q steady u OF for days at a time, their ne
cessary qualifications are not many. In
travelling they SKIRT the shores of the wa
tcrcourses, selecting camping places for the
night on some sheltered thicket, or under
the lee Of some projecting bank, to escape
the fierce winds which sweep over tho
level prairies. The snow is scraped away
from space sufficiently large to admit of
huge fire and the spreading down of blan-
kets by means of a snow shoe used as q
shovel. Dry wood is collected in large
quantities, the pommican and tea served,
the sledges turned up to ward off the blasts
and the rnnner, wrapped in few blan-
kcts, retire for the night The warmth of
fire and blankets Is augmented by the vital
heat of the dogs, occupying the bed with
masters. Before daybreak they are awake,
and with further consumption of pcmmi-
can and tea the days travel begins.
They pass through strange scenes upon
their journeys-withered woods, through
which the winds howl and shrck shrilly,
and endless level expanses of suow, tic
glare of whose unsullied whiteness blinds
the traveller. The solitude. of tho vast re-
gion Is unbroken, save when the dog sledge
with its peal of silver bells IN w'::sr, or
the swiftly passing boat brigade, resonant
with the songs Of the summer Uoyage urs,
intrudes with its momentary variation on
the shrek of the all-penetrating wind, the
| ripple of the stream, the roar of the thln-
der-toned waterfall, or the howl of the wild
beasts of the forests-thc undisturbed DOS
session OF tho Indian hunter and his prey.

GreasinB tho Soa.

The expression "to pour oil on the
troubled waters .is generally regarded ~ Il
metaphor or figure of speech, illustrating
| the action OF some persuasive peacemakcr,
softcning the angry passions OF contcnding
disputants. On the other hand, mollify-
ing influence Of oleagnous liquids upon
The waves was long ago demonstrated as a
| scientific fact, and the cquinoctial gales
| would probably have been kept in suDiec-
ton ere now, cn the high seas, but for the
uncertainty of the weather and the esti-
mated expense of the oiling an area even
rs limited NJ the Bay Of Blscay. 1t would
appear, however, that Il gentleman OF Perth
has solved this problem of economy as an.
piled to grcasug the sea, and that in the
future ships may carry with them ut Il COLL
paratively triiling cost, sufficient amount
Of oil to nullify the rigor Of the tlcrcest
cyclone. A Northern contemporary states
that series Of experiments have lately
taken place i'll the North Hurbor, PeLor.
hcad, with the most satisfactory results.
The cxpcrimentalist filled some bottles full
OF oil and sank them to the bottom of the
harbor while the gale was blowing. Pre-
scntly the oil was released and floating 10
the top Of the raging pillows, stilled them
as Ii by miracle. AS consequence Of
this experiment, it Is thought ia the neigh
borhood Of Per.h that oil can be laid OH
continuously by pipes to the bars Of all ca
posed harbors, 80 as to enable vossels 10
gain port in safety III the midst of tile most
violent hurricanes. The invention would
be- Invaluable If applied to the Channel
passage in dirty weather. Day by day we
are taught that there arc no bounds to the
conquests of science over nature. and now
that we Can oil out the ugly wrinkles Of
the stormy ocean we need not despair of
being able, sooner or later, to warm tly
North Pole with otherwise waste steam,
