Arah1 as a Grandchildren.

"Do YOU know who Arab Bey is?''
asked Mr.. F., of his friend Mr. A, as
they stood on the deck of the New
Camelia bound for Vaudeville.
s'Arabi Bey is no other than Dumon-
tell, who used to keep confectionery
establishment at the corner OF Bourbon
and Canal streets. Dumonten was a
major in the Orleans artillery and
gallant soldier-an adventurous, daring
fellow. After the war he engaged in
business, succeeding Bellanger at the
corner of Bourbon and Canal. He ran
into debt for $40, 900 or $4,000 and
went to France about 1869. Dumontell
fought in the Franco-Prussian war. and
was distinguished for bravery, receiving
the cross of the Legion of Honor. The
next | heard about him. from mutual
friend in Paris, was that he had gone
to Egypt. Several years ago the vague
rumor reached me that the irresponsible
Dumontell had entered the army OF the
knedive and risen to position OF rank.
1t is said that he stood in high favor
with the army. and was regarded al
most in the light of a native. recol-
lect him. continued Mr.. F., las a tall.
swarthy fellow, with large features, but
clear brilliant eyes, and heavy black
mustache. In fact, he had rather
Oriental cast of countenance. and ten
years residence in Africa would have
certainly increased the resemblance.
Dressed in the Egyptian garb | can i'm
agine that Dumontea would make a
fine-looking Arab.
The other day I saw picture of
Arab Bey, and was startled at his strik-
ing likeness to Dumontell. Indeed, no
one who knew the latter would hesitate
in identifying the picture as that of the
quondam confectioner. There was q
peculiar expression about Dumontelrs
mouth which is closely reproduced in
the picture. This resemblance, coupled
with the fact of DumontelPs presence
in Egypt, assures me that he is the
Egyptian leader who is just now giving
the English SO much trouble"
The above conversation was repeated
to the writer yesterday, and is repro
duced as nearly as possible from
memory.-Neeo Orleans Ftcayune.

Emerson and Margeret Fuller.

Ralph Waldo Emerson had returned
from Europe, had recovered his health,
had married second time, had settled
at Concord, and he and gotten over
being shy with each other; but he had
not gotten on as well with Margaret
Fuller. Margaret wrote poetry, and
people laughed about it, and said she
wrote II in fits of exaltation, which she
called intense times" This gave Mr..
Emerson, who was very simple and
natural prejudice against her.
One day, when visiting at his house,
/ expressed the wish that he could know
Margaret better.
Mrs. Emerson, who is the soul of dis
interested kindness, proposed at once
that Margaret be invited to come to
their house.
''Oh, no." cried Mr.. Emerson; 81
don't want to know lady who has in
tense times and writes poetry in
Them
Then / went on and told how had
had the same prejudice; how it all melt
ed away when / conversed with her,
and how, In talking with me, she had
made the whole universe look larger.
At this assurance Mr.. Emerson's face
suddenly lighted, and. turning to his
wife, he exclaimed:
Eyes. Queenie. You are right. Invite
young woman whose converse can make
the whole universe look larger to u.s. ~

Phrases About Women.

Wrinkles disfigure q woman less
than ill-nature.-Dupuy.
Woman is an idol that man werships
until he throws it down.
Women love always; when earth
slips from them, they take refuge in
heaven.
The whisper of beautiful woman
can be heard further than the loudest
call of duty.
There is no torture that would not
suffer to enhance her beauty.
Of all things that man possesses
women alone take pleasure in being
possessed.
Before promising woman to love
only her, one should have seen them
all, or should see only her.
We meet in society many beautiful
and attractive women whom we think
would make excellent wives-for our
friends.
We censure the INCONSISTENCY of
women when we are the victims we
find it charming when we are the OBJ
jects.
The highest mark of esteem woman
can give man is to ask his friendship;
and the most signal proof of her lndif-
ference is to offer him hers.
At twenty man is less lover of
woman than of women he is more in
love with the sex than with the in
dividual, however charming she may
be.
Men are so fearful of wounding
woman's vanity that they rarely
remember that she may by some pos
sibility possess grain of common
sense.
Woman among savages Is beast of
burden in Asia she is piece of fur
niture; in Europe she is a spoiled
child.
1t is not easy to be widow; one
must reassume all the modesty of
girlhood, withuot being allowed to
feign its ignorance.
Women of the world never use
harsh expressions when condemning
their rivals. Like the savage, they
hurl elegant arrows orDamented with
feathers of purple-and azure, but with
poisoned points.
Doctors say that the govt may be
Inherited. If any fellow were to
leave us the govt, we should contest
his will on the ground for insanity.

Americans in Europe.

The Americans in Europe may be
roughly divided into three classes.
First come the cultivated and aesthetic
few, Of the type that the late M.
Longfellow glorified in his ely
perion," and that Mr.. James loves to
elaborate in series of novels which
would seem more artistic were they
less monotonous. Then follows the
far more considerable body who are
refined in manners rather than in in
tellect and who, settling chiefly in
France, although sometimes in Italy,
chameleon like, take the coIors of the
people they live among. Finally, we
have the grand rush of the tribes of
the Philistines or tourists proper, who
might of course be subdivided almost
indefinitely, but who nevertheless
have their most characteristic features
in common. The cultivated Ameri-
can, when he does not carry @stheti-
cism TO excess and initiate the morbid
eccentricities of the feminine minded
English philanderer, is one of the most
agreeable and entertaining of travel
ling companions. 1t is godsend when
the solitary English tourist stumbles
upon him in one of those out-of-the-
way towns which are the relics of the
middle ages and the favorite resorts of
Mr.. James's heroines. He is man of
the world, yet something of a dreamer,
with great deal of the student. He
seems TO steep his soul at the shortest
notice in the characteristic spirit of
the place yet he regards objects and
their associations from the original
standpoint of one who has been bred
in q new country and braced by habit
ual contact with the practical. He is
well, if somewhat specifically, read,
and he has dreamed and speculated
with thoughtful interest on the arts
which he has mastered theoretically,
if not mechanically. And withal he
generally shows certain modesty of
thought which is far from being a
conspicuous feature of the national

The Majesty of the Law.

There is Justice of the Peace out
in Crosby County. Week before last
he found man guilty of shooting a
bull that did not belong to him, and
fined him SIS.
''Why, ledge" said the doomed
man, 81 haven't got no SIS; I can't
pay no such fine"
"The State of Texas puts me in this
office to find way to make men pay
their fines. You will cut cedar poles
until you have cut enough to satisfy
the majesty of the law" replied the
Justice.
'But, ledge, what use has the State
of Texas got for cedar poles ?"
"The State of Texas hasn't got nc
use for cedar poles. It's this court
who needs them cedar poles to build a.
fence. I'll take the poles and settle
with the State of Texas for them.u
And the poor fellow is cutting cedar
poles for the State of Texas now.

character, as of one who feels himself
treading unfamiliar ground and is
cropping his way cautiously to con-
illusions.
In short, the cultivated American,
when he is free from one absorbing
taste, is generally an excellent fellow
and a capital comrade-always ready
to change the subject of conversation
at hint, and able to meet you agreea-
bly, on me st topics. We may say as
much of bis countr, men who are set
tied in Europe, although their dis.
course is rather social than intellectual.
To politics, they are, for the most part,
profoundly Indifferent at least their
only strong feeling on the subject is a
hearty detestation of democratic insti-
tutions. Consequently the feelings of
the American colony in France are
ANYTHING but friendly to the existing
form of government; and at best they
have resigned themselves to the Re
public with cold acquiescence. Their
strong points are horses and hospi-
tally. The American likes the habits
of the French, and fatters himself
that he rather shines in the salons !;
but what he respects In the English
man is his knowledge of horsefesh
and the hereditary firmness of his seat
in the saddle. The only time when,
as rule, he cares to tace the fogs and
damp of our island is on the eve of one
of the great summer race meetings,
especially if American colors are likely
to run forward. The spring meetings
are somewhat too thoroughly profess
sional for his tastes; and even the lux
uries and good company of the Lang
ham can scarcely tempt him to risk
the probable inelemency of the
weather. Even in an hotel he cannot
help feeling hospitaole and he would
rather any day entertain an old &C
quaintance than accept that acquain-
tance's invitation to pot-luck. The
genial back settlement fashion of
standing drinks to all round at the bar
has developed in him into the art or
instiDe ct of dinner-giving. In his own
home and at his own roundtable he is
seen in his glory. He is seldom OF
never guilty of those dreary state ban
quets which have the solemnity and
chill profusion of funeral feasts; and
we need hardly say that he holds alooi
from those public entertainments, with
their interminable Grating" which
come off periodically in Paris at the
"Grandn or the "Continental' Hotel
He is no public speaker, although he
is a pleasant talker. He asserts his
snug little parties of Xix or eight
thoughtfully mixing the materials
according to his knowledge of men
and women.

A Story of Early Steam Travel
ing.


1t is related that an old country
dame committed herself for the first
time to railway carriage, and by a
misadventure the train on arrival that
very day was run too quickly into the
station, so that van or two became
smashed, and the passengers were
much thrown about. The old lady in
particular was jerked under the seat
upon the top of her bandboxes, where
she was fond by the guard, meekly
and patiently awaiting the opening OF
the door. Upon his exclaiming, For
goodness sake, ma'am. come out,
there's been an accident" she gently
replied, "Oh, sir, thought you al
ways stopped like this"

Timber in the West.

Timber in the West.
In 1oSO.there were standing in Mich
lgan 30 600, O00, 900 feet of timber. Dur
Ing the previous year nearly 4,5O0, co.,
900 feet were cut. In Wisconsin there
were Al 100000, 600 feet standing, and
the twelve months cutting amounted
to nearly 5000, 100000 feet. At this
rate OF destruction it cannot be many
years before the supply in these two
States will be exhausted.
The Coarser Varieties of Timber.
In one of the timber growing States,
there Is now wealth of S67, 500, 900 in
growing pine timber, estimated at an
average value of $3.50 per thousand
feet for the standing tree. AS vast
source OF wealth to the State in which
II Is growing, yet unhonored and most
lightly esteemed, even to such an ex-
tent that its wanton destruction passes
unnouced, are to be found fully 7,000,-
OO0, 000 feet of hemlock, which, in the
pear future, will be sought for at a
price scarcely below the present value
of the pine, for which it will be util
lied as most excellent substitute in
many of the eoarser uses of lumber.
This hemlock is to-day utilized only
in the production OF bark for tanning
purposes, and it bears to the timber
wealth of the State only about the
same relation that the hordes of buffalo
upon our Western plains bear to the
meat supply of our nation, as they are
slaughtered by the thousands and
stripped of their pelts for the use of
the civilized world, while the carcass
is left to the vulture, regardless of the
fact that race is being exterminated
which can never again be propagated
The hemlock tree of the Northwest,
like the buffalo of the plains, possesses
value, the extent of which will be
realized only after the process of waste
full determination has done its worst
and no more remains to be utilized.
The hemlock in one State, if placed at
a value which it will bear before the
expiration OF five years from this date,
would bring to its owners not less than
Sl4 100000; at the value which is
placed upon it to-day it is worth not
lese than $4,000, 900, and, in the en-
deavor to utilize the bark, the trunk
of the tree, which might also add to
the wealth of its owner, is left to rot
upon the ground or to feed the forest
fires which sweep away so much of our
wealth every year.
