in Nutshell" made several caring
misatatemsnts Ia reference 10 the ex~

which the GAZETTE referred to aud
in part corrected, on Saturday. Now,
the RtpGblicGR in its issue Of yester-

copy the truth that it now presents
below
THK REPUBLICANS APOLOGY.
| We are in formed by o representative
of the Truestees Of the Poor that we were
| In error when we stated that It took
about kS IS week to keep each inmate Of
| the Aims House and insane asylum, that
indeed the cost was only about Sl.A. The
Trustees spend about as much for outdoor
charities as they expend for other pur-
poses. A great many persons who are
poor remain with their friends who take
care Or them, but the Trustees make
their regular allowances. II they did
not do this these persons would become
inmates of the Aims House where 1t
would cost the county much more to
keep them. Then the expense ofburyIng
coroner . cases most OF which comes un
der the juri sdiction Of the Fnstees and
mauy otner incidental expenses are 10 be
deducted which brings the cost OF malns
tenance of each in /. ate In the AlmB
House down to &l.2I. No doubt this IL .
correct estimate. Yet at first aights an
outsider could come to no other conelu-
sion than that 1t took % 4j 10 keep each
inmate from the limited ana scantyf re-
ports which are perm tied 10 be publish
ed from time 10 time. Knowing that e40.-
600 is asked for TO maintain the Aims
House and kno wing that the number 81
inmates is about 224 all the time on an
average, anybody would co. clude that y
took SS.i5 week TO maintain each in
mate. We are 81 I'D, however, 10 make
the correction and set the matter IN Its
true light before the public. ,...,,....

Opium Packed for Smuggling.

The box CT opium found on the seabeach
near Olema, California, proves to be a
double tin box about Is inches square,
covered with heavy sail duck, perfectly
sewed together, then pslLted with white
lead, and after this had dried upon the
cloth painted black. This could not have
been done in San Francisco for the purpose
of resphlpplng TO the Sandwich Islands.
This perfect water-tight arrangement shows
that these boxes were thrown overheard,
either in the bay or where they would be
washed ashore. 1t might be at the wharf,
to be picked up under piling, all along
the city front, for then there would be no
necessity for windy night, mnffled oars,
or city policemen. This well covered box
contained sixteen balls, about the size OF
60 ,oauu', of apparently crude opium But
the peculis rity of it was that it was not
what it seemed Ordinary crude opium
resembles putty or cheese in texture, and
these balls, though covered with poppy
leaves and hardened shell about one-half
inch thick, were filled, as military shell,
with opium r,sdy for smoking. If the
opium were crude it pays 81 per pound
duty; for smokng, Sc per pound. But
even the crude opium, of the crust spoken
of, Is prohibited by law from importation,
because it does not contain 9 per cent. OF
morphine. The profit Of smuggling opium
Is 80 gleat that every device Il used to get
it ashore.

a Strange Dance.

While returning alo..g the steep bank
of Luxor to the Lshengrin We were met by
Achmet Efendi, the son of the English
consul, Mustspha Agha, who begged US
to come TO the fantasia held at his fathers
house that evening. This invitation We
of course accepted, as it is the customary
thing. Accordingly We betook ourselves
at the appointed time to Mustapha Agha s
house, built among the columns Of the
temple of Luxor, and here. after the
usua. smoking of cigarets, salutation-mak-
ing and coffee drinking, we witnessed
much the same curious style Of dance IS |
have endeavored TO describe when first
passing Luxor on the ascent of the r1ver.
There were the same eight GhawaZees
clothed in the extravagantly-colored dresses
of their class, and decked with tinsel and
ornaments; the same wild music produced
by performers who extracted shrill sounds
from one-stringed rababs, and the same
waving of arms, swapping OF fingers and
passionate songs, while the dancers danced
their Oriental measures. One new feature
of the performance struck me as being
DISPLAY of the manner in which these Cha
WAGES can command the different muscles
of their 1.-THE bodies In all the various @
lions of their dancing. A young girl TOOK
lighted candle, and fixing 1t IN the mouth
Of an empty champagne bottle, placed
this improvlsed lamp on her coin-bedecked
head, and forthwith commenced to thrill
and auaver in most surprising fashion.
Then, after making these waves of motion
run from her head to her feet-durlng
which she seemed about to lose conscious
ness. SO absorbed was the look in her
eyes-and, after tremulous movements OF
her neck, body, and arms, she slowly sank
to the floor till perfectly flat on her back,
with the bottle and lighted taper still! stand
| ing upright on her head, which was now
at right angles to her body. With her
arms at her side she now relied across the
room from one end to the other and then
back again without even compromising the
safety of the balanced bottle and light,
though how she contrived to twist her
neck at the right moment without disioca-
ting 1t, or to turn her body independently y
