A Tale Of the Orient.

Many years ago there lived certain
Caliph of Bagdad who was o misogynist,
and he hated women with an exceeding
great hatred, so much that the harem of
the commander of the faithful, filed
though it was with dark eyed houris,
looked not upon mans face from the ris-
ing of the sun till the going down thereof.
For the caliph said that all the evil which
Allah permitted to desolate this fair
world was caused by women. And he
was wont to say when ought of evil was
brought to his knowledge: "Bring me
the woman"
Now the Grand Vizier liked it not,
forasmuch as womenkind, to him, was
fair to look upon, and he loved them all
with exceeding great affection. And he
was wont to seek for incidents and ac-
cidents wherein figured not women,
wherewith to regale his royal masters
ears. And he found them not, and lol
he was cast down in spirit.
But it came to pass on O certain day
that the Grand Vizier entered in unto
the presence of the Caliph, and he lifted
up his voice, saying:
"Oh, mighty Caliph, Ruler of the
World, King of Kings, Sword of the
Faith, Favored of Allah, and of Moham-
med his Prophet, hod-carrier has tum-
bled off'n scaffold in the next block,
and has bustled his cocoanut."
"By the beard of the Prophet-mash-
allahl' said the Caliph.
Given so, mighty Caliph," said tho
Vizier. 'He is mashed all up"
'But what mattereth the fall of this
artiticer to me?" said the Caliph; ''is he
not o Gaiour?"
"Even SO your highness-from Yrre-
land; but there amt no woman in it"
said the Vizier, with an ill-repressed
chuckle.
DOG and son of dog thou liest!'
roared the Caliph.
"But there amt" said the Vizier.
'cBring hither the remains" said the
Caliph eve will interrogate them"
The remains were brought i'm on a
stretcher.
"Son of an unbelieving mother" said
the Caliph, "why dost thou thus muss
up the streets of Bagdad? Speak-and
truly, Giaour, or on thy head be it"

''ye must know that was carrying of
me hod up the laddher, and when

and an illigant ankle And J followed
her wild me eyes, and when she reached
the dhree- goods store at the corner, she
turned and looked at me, and dropped
her veil; and it upset me so, your high
ness, that [ lost me balance and tumbled
off, and I'm afeared I've bruck me
back"
"Slave, "mused the Caliph, 'life seems
dark to thee, but perhaps it is not black.
Hast thou wife ?"
''Divil wan, your highness."
''Go in peace, o Giaour-thou art
free, end shonldst be happy. I"-and the

DELAWARE, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER S, 1881.
The Western Hog Crop Scarce.

Reports received by the Chicago
Times from most of the Western States
indicate that fat hogs will be scarce and
high at the season when they are gener-
ally marketed. There is not the usual
number of pigs in the country, and
there is deficiency of food with which
to fatteD them. Two causes have oper-
ated to re luce the number of stock
hogs. The cold weather during the
earl y spring months has killed many
young pigs in Iowa and other Western
Statos. The high price Of pork during
the summer months induced farmers to
dispose OF most of the hogs they had
that were in good condition to be
slaughtered. The condition of hogs is
generally reported as poor for this sea-
son of the year. Those that were in
good flesh have passed into the hands
Of the but cher. In Ohio and Indiana,
where hogs are generally kept on pas
ture during the summer, severe
drought has prevailed for nearly two
months. AS a consequence the.grass aud
clover have dried up, and in some places
there is a scarcity of water. In these
States farmers are reluctant to feed corn
to hogs at present prices, as they think
1t will bring more money if sold on the
ear. In some regions there is or will be
sufficient corn to fatten the hogs and to
supply the other home demands for this
crop. The prospect is that the proper
tion of hog and hominy will be about
as usual. The reports seem to show
that the number Of hogs in the West
n /, / a..
age at this time Of the year, and that
they are Of small size and in poor con-
dItion. Lr some of the best counties in
Illinois and Kansas many heavy hogs
will most likely be fattcned. Although
American pork sprohibited from enter
lug several foreign countries. Western
farmers need be in no fear Of low prices
during the present season.

Made Drunk and Then Trlckod
Into Marriage.

The arrest of Patrick Stanton, in
Brooklyn, on Wednesday, on the C harge
of abandoning his wife, brought out a
curious story of marital adventure.
Stanton is only Is years old aud his
wife is u year younger. They both at
tended u moonlight picnic on the 6tn
of August Although Stanton knew
Miss Lambert by sight he was not on
speaking terms with her until that
night, when she was introduced to him
by Frank McCann, her escort. They
drank together several times, and he
and Mccain drank considerable beer
during the evening. AT l1.3o o'clock
the three started to go home. They
were all in a jolly mood, and While
walking along Eva asked McCann to
marry her. He suggested that it was
too late to find n minister. She thought
not and Stanton chimed in jokiDgly,
as he says, and declared that he woald
marry her if Mccain didn't. They
then called on the Rev. Miller S. Hage-
man, rang him up aud were conducted
to the parlor. Stanton AYERS that he sup
posed all the time that Eva and McCann
were to be married, aud that he was to
act merely as a witness. he does not,
according to his story, distinctly re-
member what took place, but he after.
ward learned that he had heon married
to the girl, and that his friend McCann
was the witness. The marriage certi-
ticate which the dominic made out
proves this beyond doubt. Stanton
swore that he would never be held by
any such marriage and refused to live
with his wife. The whole thing he al
leges, was the result OF a conspiracy be-
tween McCann aud the girl. The lat
ter, on the other hand, declares that
her proposition to McCann to marry
her wa. made in fun, that Stanton
thought that the idea of a marriage was
so GOOD that he insisted after McCann
declined, Oh being the groom, and that
he was not so much under the ln-
tiuence Of liquor whom they stood up
before the clergyman that he did not
know what he was fully about. AS ne
had forsworn the contract and refused
either to support her or live with her,
she brought suit to bring him to terms.
The Justice withheld his decision.
