I'm her footman on the box by the side
of the coachman. During her drives
she stopped at many shops, ordered
samples aud patterns to be sent to her
hotel. and at the same time made pur-
chases of silks, laces, fine trousseau

several jewellers. one of whom had Just
received handsome garniture in bril-
liants, which at once took her fancy, be-
ing valued at the lowest at 30, 900 forms,
and the father in-law being expected on
the following day the leWeler was re-

From our Regular Correspondent
/ WAsImaroS, ID. C., Oct. 4, 1881.
Those who predicted that Rrcsiaen
Arthur would walk strictly in the step
Of his predecessor. and be the lexecuto'
of the political will Of President Gar
field, rather than q president with Al
Misunderstanding and will Of his own
have begun 10 learn that they wer
mistaken. 1t Is said, by those wh,
ought to know, that there will b,
sweeping changes in the cabinet and
in the official personel of the govern
mont, both at home and abroad. Itis
doubtful If amy member Of the present
cabinet will hold his portfolio unit
the regular session of congress con.
venes. Ii would be idle to guess who
will constitute the new cabinet The
irumor Is that Mr.. Boutwell, will be
made Secretary of the Treasury. He
held this office under Grant, and is
thoroughly acquainted with theroutine
of the department. He is. moreover,
in accord with the Grant-C onkling and
Arfinr wing Of the party.
It's believed that President Arthur
intends 10 overhaul the Treasury De
partncnt from vault to attic,
and 70 explore every rat hole in
1t. This department il largely flied
with the political household of the
late secretary, now Senator Sherman,
who forced Arthur to leave the New
York cnstonlhonse under impntation
of dishonesty and maladministration.
Mr.. Sherman little thought then that
Arthur wolild he president of the
United States, with power mercilcssly
to expose the inner management of
this immense department, and to dis
charge the large entoaraSe that Sher-
man has appointed to lucrative places.
Many relations of Mr.. Sherman are in
the Treasury Dcpartment---one tof
them has been charged with extensive
peculation-and many expect disclos-
ures from the Treasury Department
scarcely less startling than those that
have been made in the Postoffice De
partment. Ex4Secretary Fish, Genera
Grant and Mr.. Conkling, are all men
toned for the place of Mr.. Blaine.
Gossip is rife, and newspaper naen,
who have already arrived in large
numbers, anticipate an unusually inter
sesting season, from journalistic
standpoint. IL is conceded that this
will be . very stalwart administration,
in sentiment, at least, but, snch Ia the
composition ofccngress, that President
Artlinr will be handicapped and unable
TO give pronounced political effect TO
ultra blue stalwartism. All l,isimport-
ant nominations will depend for con
iirmation on q democratic senate.
There are those who ,encrgeticalIy
insist that this will be nm Arthur, and
mot q Conkling, administration, but
those who have hastily eliminated Mr.
iconkling from national politics know
little of the past, and sec little Of the
present. Senator Jones, the presidents
host, went Yesterday 10 Utica, and is
now in conference with the ex-senator.
This Is not the only straw, but it is
enough, If not 10 break the camel's
back, At least, TO show which way the
Wind blows.

English. The two sects OF Maho.
medans-Sunni and Shiah-are as
much opposed to each other as Ca
tbollc and Protestant here in Europe,
and their disputes furnish much food
for harmless jests.
On one occasion, the Sultan, being
a Sunni, was much scandalized at
the Shah tendencies of a clerical
gentleman holding an important OF
flee in the Mahomedan Church, and,
by way OF forcing him either to re-
SIGN or recant his opinions, he or
dered him publicly to curse Ali, the
great saint OF the Sniahs, at the next
Fridays prayers. The Sheikh ac-
cordingly mounted the pulpit, and,
looking round at the thousands of
worshlppers who had been attracted
by the expected recantatiOn, began
thus -" Our lord the Sultan has
or cred me to curse his Holiness
Ali-cur8e him. Freedom of speech
is a necessity to the Arab, and the
most critical circumstances are IN
sufficient TO repress his sense of hu-
mour. The celebrated Ell HeUaj

thirsty tyrants known, while COVER

dinner, as is the custom in the East,
by the roadside, when a hungry
looking Bedawi Arab came up and
sat down beside the dish. The
Emir, in a rage, cried out, " ho-
ever touches this dish besides myself
shall Icse his head instantly" The
Bedawi hesitated a moment, and
then, plungmg his hand into the
dish, cried, i" Very well, my lord,
Ileave you my children Tor IA legacy"
Ell Hejiaj one day ordered the
chief Of his guards to behead any
one whom they might find IN the
streets after dark. One night as the
officer was going his rounds he met
two young men drunk and Keeling

demanded of them who they were,

That the erection of a second fac
tory towards the " astern end Of the
island would be hailed with salts
faction both by planters and labours,
and would make possible the c~ultiva-
ton of the sugar cane on sm"lI plots
is quite certain !; but from a practi-
cal point OF view such an erection
must be regarded merely as a distant
and misty e%ventuality and if the
Improvement Of the whole island has
to wait upon that we fear that St.
CroiX might become an illustration
Of the old proverb =" while the grass is
growing the horse is starving" We
have no doubt that in the course Of
time our labouring population will
improve under the free. labour system
above referred to, and with the aid of
the authorities in reference to suitable
police arrangements, and to an i'm
%provement in the schools, in which
latter the %proprietors themselves can
also largely assist but the question Of
immigration is one which immediately
presses, and cannot be set aside hv
drawing upon u hopes for the
future. According TO the discussion
in the Colonial Council last Septem-
Der there was a complete unanimity
in regard 10 the necessity Of increasing
the labour force OF the island, and The
only difference Of opinion turued Oh
whether the required immigrants
should be brought from China or from
the ncighboufing islands. The msin-
uation of the Da-blad> correspondent
that the wish fer Immigration crises
from any feeling nfili VIII ca The part
OF ,he planters towards the labouring
population y perfectly uijustliable
the Santa Cruz planters ar. not 10y
amy means 50 rich that they can
incur the expenses connected with
immigration simply to crafty their
supposed ill-wIll for it must be
noticed that the Council only seeks
assistance for immigration an that
the planters are prepared to defray,
at all events the greater part, OF The
necessary expenses. 1t may be OBJ
served that in case pecuniary assis-
lance cannot be granted the planters
would still be glad to have the help Of
the government in the way Of auIho-
rlzing immigration agents in those
places where there is a redundant po-
pu!ation. Facts also are against the
author Of the Dagblad article, Tor the
n taken last year shews a
decrease Of over 5000 in the popu-
lation Of the island, from which fact
alone we maynot u~nreasonably infer
that immigration is required and to
this may be added that the pay-books
OF the estates, according to the testi-
mony of Messrs. Coulter, Willard. and
, Latimer at the Councils meeting
above referred to prove that the
labourers do not accomplish as much
work as they are able to do, as
the majority do not work more
than three days in the week, this
being sufficient to support them for
/. the remainder.
This year" says the gentleman
quoted by the Dag57ad writer, Mr..
Coulter, speaking in the Council, "the
Almi0hty has assisted tho niautnr in
