the Republicans of Mississippi are ex-
pected not only to vote for 1.-THE in

to give up the idea of running straight

Mr.. Riddleberger. the author OF the
reputation scheme in Virginia, and the
man who furnishes the brains and the
audacity for Mahone's movement, said.
in q recent speech: 1--WE are for Arthur
because he is for u.s." The trading
politicians in Tennessee who failed to
get Office from the Democrats are for
Arthur because he is for them. And
now comes 1.-The infamous hero of Fort
Pillow" who is for Arthur because
Arthur, or Chandler, is for him.
William f. Chandler is peculiarly
fitted to make bargains with Chalmers
and other Democrats in the South, who.
having no further hopes from their
own party, are quite willing to sell ont
to anybody that will buy. But it is a
bad investment for the Administration.

Prof. Haeckel thus describes his first
attempt to penetrate Ceylon jungle.
The Jungle, he says, is not, properlv
speaking. primeval forest-forest. that
is. untrodden by the foot of man (such
are in Ceylon of small extent and rare
.occurrence) it corresponds to our
idea of such forest in that it consists
of dense and impenetrable mass Of
mighty trees of all kinds, which have
sprung up without regularity or any in.
rounded and overgrown by a wilderness
of creeping and climbing plants, OF
ferns, orchids, and other parasites, the
interstices being so completely filed up
with motley mass of smaller weeds
that it is quite impossible to disentang,e
the coil of tendrils so as to distinguish
one species from the other. NV first
attempt to penetrate such a jungle as
this was sufficient to convince me of the
impossibility of the undertaking, except
with the aid of an ak and fire. A hard
hours work broeght me only a few
steps into the thicket, and then / was
obliged to acknowledge myself van
pushed, and make good a retreat,
stung by mosquitoes, bitten by ants,
with torn clothes, and arms and legs
bleeding from the thorns and prickles,
with which the climbing palm (Cal
amus), the climbing Hibiscus, the
Euphorbia, and multitude of other
jungle plants repulse every attack made
on their impenetrable labyrinth. But
the attempt had not been made alto
gether in vain, for it enabled me to gain
very fair idea of the jungle as whole,
more especially of the magnifcence Of
its trees and creepers, besides intro
ducing me to many separate varieties
of animal and vegetable life, which
were of the highest interest; here !
saw the magnificent Gloriosa superba,
the poisonous climbing lily of Ceylon.
with its red and amber flowers; the
prickly Hibiscus radiatus, with large,
cup-shaped, birthstone colored flowers,
deepening to violet in the hollow: while
around huttered gigantic black butter
dies, with blood-red spots on their tail
shaped wings, and chafers and dragon
flies flew past with metallic CLEAN.
But my delight reached its height when
on this, my first attempt to penetrate a
jungle in Ceylon, 1 came across the two
most characteristic of its inhabitants
from among the higher class of animals
parrots and apes. A flock of green
parrots flew screening from q lofty tree
as they became aware of the gun in my
hand, and at the same moment herd
of great black apes sprang with a
growing cry into the thicket. 1 did
not succeed in getting shot at either
one or the other. They appeared to be
too familiar with the look of a gun. /
was consoled, however, by securing
with my first shot colossal lizard
or iguana six feet long, of kind
held in much awe by the superstitious
natives (Hydrosaurus salvator). The
huge, crocodile-like beast was summing
himself on the edge of water-tank,
and the shot hit him so precisely on the
head as to kill him at once. Had it
struck any less vital part he would
probably have dived into the water and
disappeared. When seized, the iguana
has the power of hitting so sharp blow
with its scaly tail as to cause a severe
wound, and even sometimes a broken
limb.

How the BeY Of TuniS Lives.

The palaces of the Bey are splendid
and incongruous; the Bardo, an hour
from the capital, is a fine sample of
Oriental architecture and decoration,
spoiled by Partisan upholstery and vul-
gar European carpets. Dar-el-Bey, his
only town residence, is magnificent and
neglected.; his real abode is in sep
arate building, walled and standing in
q garden near the Bardo. He goes to
the Bardo once a week, to sit in iudg-
'ment on his subjects and receive the
Ambassadors and Consuls of the Great
Powers; and then there is a brief stir,
and the Court presents stately picture.
g 1t Is, however, only an external brill
fancy, and it cannot deceive the visitor
as to the misery reigning within the
Moorish Empire" Mahomed Els Sa-
dock Pacha Bey is an amiable enough
Prince, by all accounts; fond of child
rem. but childless, and very simple in
his habits. He .has'only one wife, and
though he pays her formal visit of an
hours duration at her castle every day,
he rarely sees her, as the hour of his
visit is generally one appointed for de-
votion, and on his arrival he goes to q
small room in the palace to pray.
He is supposed to know nothing of
the management of his possessions; be-
fore him all is splendor, behind his
back all is desolate ruin. Whichever
of his palaces he shall die in will be dis
mantled and left to decay, for a Bey
must not live in a palace in which
predecessor has died. None of them
has had himself transported into the
street on death approaching; and there
are more than dozen palaces in Tunis
to-day which cannot be used by the
Beys. A melancholy example OF this
absurd custom is Mahomedia, once the
magnificent residence of Achmet Bey,
who had it built thirty-five years ago
at a cost of 10000, 900 francs. This
palace, with its secondary buildings
and villas for ministers and dignitaries,
was situated two miles out of town;
and when Achmet Bey died, the furni-
ture was moved, the floors, glazed tiles,
doors and windows were broken out
and dragged to another palace The
heavy marble columns, statues, the
curbs of the wells, etc., remained be-
hind with the walls, and he who passes
those imposing ruins to-day might
think thousands of years had passed
over them. The hand of the Arab de;
stroys thus in our day in the midst of
peace. as his ancestors and the Vandals
did centuries ago. only in time of war.
So much for Oriental culture!-London
