ARABI's FAMILY.

Lady Gregory sends to the London Times
an account of Arab Pasha and his family.
She says: 1T was not until the end of
February that I went, with Lady Anne
Blunt, to see Arabs wife They had
moved some little time before to a new
house large and dilapidated looking, and
which Arab was represented as having
fitted up in luxurious style-in fact, at
that time the crime most frequently al
legged against him was that he had bought
carpets to the amount of EGO | must
confess that there were some pieces of new
and not beautiful European carpets in the
chief rooms, but must add that if Arab
paid 112O for them he made very bad
bargain. The sole furniture of the recep-
ton room of Arabs wife consisted of
small, hard divans, covered with brown
linen, and a tiny table with a crotchet
antimacassar walls the only ornaments
were photographs of him in black wooden
frames and one larger photograph of the
Sacred Stone at Mecca. In the room where
Arab himself sat and received were a
similar hard divan, two or three chairs,
table, and an inkstand covered with
stains
HIS WIFE WAS READY
to receive US, having heard an hour or two
earlier of our intended visit She greeted

Lady Anne interpreted to me. She has
a pleasant, intelligent expression. but hav-
ing five children living out of fourteen
born to her, looked rather overcome with ,
the cares of maternity. She wore long
dress of green silk. "My husband hates
this long train, :" she told me afterward.
9 He would like to take knife and cut it off,
but say / must have a fashionable dress
TO wear when visit the Khedive's wife and
other ladies'"
An old woman with white hair, dressed
IN the common country fashion, wooden
petticoat and blue cotton iacket-came
into the room and occupied herself with
the children. Presently we found that she
was Arabs mother. She spoke with great
energy and vivacity, welcoming us and
talking of her son with much |
affection and pride. i am only fellah |

LATEST ELECTION NEWS.
MASSACHUSETTS,.

| BOSTON, Nov. O. The democratic state
central committee will issue an address in
| the morning to congratulate the democrats
| en- mass on the result of the election.
| The J0atrhal says: 1t is written in. the
book of predictions at the state house that
| the governor will be chosen United States
| senator to succeed Senator Hoar, whose
term expires March Sd, 1888. Lieut. Gov
Ames is looked on as the successor of Con-
gresham Long, and as his services will
not be needed at Washington, unless there
SHOULD be special session, until Deem
ber 1888, it will depend on the date of the
election to fill the vacancy in the Second
congressional district, whether Ames will
resign before the date of the meeting of
congress. The resignation of the Lieu
tenant-Governor could only be filled by
popular election, but it is not likely that it
would be.

A MOnster FIagstOne.

An immense hagstone, which is
said to be the largest ever quarrled IN
America, and is destined for the
sidewalk in front of II. l.. Stuart's
new brownstone residence at Fifth
Avenue and Sixty-eight and Sixty
nintn streets. The great slab is OF
river bluestone, and measures rs feet
and 6 inches by Is feet and 6 incbes.
1t is 9 inches thick, and weighs over
80 tons. If raised on edge it would
make one side of an average seashore
cottage. 1t is perfectly smooth, with
the exception of slight ridge through
the center, which will he removed
after it is in position. The stone was
cut from the same quarry in Sullivan
county as the great flagstone now
composing part of the sidewalk 10
front of the Vanderbilt mansion, but
is much lager. 1t was brought down
the Hudson from the quarry on the
deck of a barge, and unloaded at the
foot of Fourteenth street by being
raised high enough with "screw jacks
for two heavy fat s;one wagons to DC
placed under it, when it was drawn to
its destination by eighteen powerful
horses.

Price IS cts. per bottle.
APerpIexing Predicamenf.

A clerk bought a cut-glass bottle OF
cologne, with glass stopper and a
pink ribbon, to present to a young lady
be is keeping company With, but on
reaching ihs house be felt little en-
barassed for fear there were members
of the family present, aud 80 left Toe
beautiful present on the stoop and
passed in. The movement was per-
ceived by a g;aceless young brother OF
the lady. who appropriated The cologne
for his own use and le6lled the bottle
with hartsho2n from the family jar,
and then hung around TO observe the
result:
In little while the young man slip
ped out to the stoop, and secured the
splendid gilt, slipped back again into
the parlor where with few appro-
pirate words he pressed it ppon the
blushing girl. Like the good and
faithful daughter that she was she a.
once hurried ilto The presence of her
mother, and The old lady was charmed.
She was much pleased with it. She
drew out the stopper, laid The beautl-
fol petals of her nos.rils over the aper'
ture, and fetched pull at the contents
that fairly made them bubble. Then
she laid the bottle down, and picking
up brass mounted fire shovel instead,
said, as soon as she could say any
thing:
Where is that miserable brat?"
He, all unconscious of what had hap
peoed, was just 10 front of the mirror
adjusting his neck;ie and smiling at
himself. Here she found him, and said
to him:
"Oh, you are laughing at the trick
on an old woman are you 7"
And then she gave him one on the
ear. And he, being by nature more
eloquent with his legs than with his
tongue, fastened from thence, bowling
"like mad" and accompanied 10 the
gate by the brass-mounted shovel. He
says he would give everything on earth
if he could shake off the impression
that a mistake had been made.

causes of Typhoid Fever.

A severe outbreak of typhoid lever
which occurred last year at Nahant, q
rocky peninsula near Boston, inhabited
during the summer by small number
of very rich cottage owners, was ioi'
lowed by an investigation, of which
the results are made public in on article
by Mr.. E. w. Bowditch, in the Bos'oa
Medical and Surgical Jou. nat In
such cases contamination of drinking
water is usually the principal cause OF
the spread of the disease, and the wells
and cisterns which supply the houses
were first examined Water was taken
from one hundred and ninety OF these
and analysed. Eight of the samples
were pronounced excellent, and
seventy-one others permissible, or
good One hundred and eleven were
classed as suspicious, very suspicious
or bad About eighty cases OF fever
occurred, nearly all of which could be
accounted for by the actual condition OF
the drinking water used in the houses
inhabited by the patients. In few
Others the filthy surroundings fdrnish'
ed probable source of Infection, al
though the water appeared pure, as, in
one instance, where analysis failed TO
detect any serious pollution in water
taken from a well situated within ten
feet of one teaching cesspool and fifteen
feet of another, both overfowing. and
of course ready to furnish on occasional
snnply to the we'll during dry seasons
or Under other circumstances. One or
two more were probably explained by
the fact that the ice used in the bouse-
hold was brought from foul pond 10
the vicinity; and ouly one seemed
quite inexplicable, unless perhaps the
infection might have been brought by
milk contained In cans which had been
rinsed in foul water. Mr.. Bowditch's
suspicion, that the infection was COM
municated in certain cases by contsml'
mated ice, ia strengthened by the fact
that a very severe and fatal epidemic
of typhoid fever was unquestionably
caused in this way not long ago at q
seashore hotel in New England and it
is worth asking whether the public
authority might not be employed with
advantage in exercising some sort OF
surveillance over the collection and sale
of an article which may become, and
perhaps already is, far more dangerous

One of the speakers at recent con-
vention of brewers, held at Cincinnati,
stated that the production Of beer in
Ohio last year was 100000 barrels.
Reduced to kegs this is 5000, 900, and
to glasses 600, 900, 00O This is sold
at FIVE cents per glass, and aggregate
$34, 900, 900. The retailers profit is
100 per cent. What costs the con-
sumers $34, 900, 900 costs the retailers
$l7,OO0,OOO. The amount of beer
manufactured in the State, according
to the speaker, is equal to 225 glasses
to every man, woman and child in
Ohio. A great deal, Of course, is ship
ped out of Ohio, but enough is left 70
prevent q beer famine. What the
brewers profit is was not stated, but it
is known to be very large. The capi-
tai Invested in the brewiog busioess in
Ohio is $3O,00O0OO. This amount.
and 81, 800, 900 besides, is paid by con-
sumers every year. The gross profits
on beer sold at retail are equal to one
half the capital invested in The brewing
business. 1t is within bounds to say
that the capital invested ia brewing is
returned in profits every ,hlee years.
According to the computations made,
the cost of beer made in Ohio is equal
to $1l.50 for every man, woman and
child in the State.
