The romance IS all taken out of the life oi Arabi. and the true tale Of his -.pil rise Tn political affairs IS scarcely rostlral at all Ten years ago Arabi vas a sergeant detailed for duty in the topographic office of the Egyptian War D4usrtment. and he Was neither better r,- worse than his companions. He afterwards showed some ability and WAS promoted with a rapidity that gives ,ta he to tine stories circulated some -;-,a ago that be had to encounter all s.-ts of preiudices and obstacles on ac- r7uut oi his not belonging to the Turkish. or ruling race. He was r-5motej from grade to grade, until he attained 10 the command of the Fourth Regiment of Infantry, when, there be- iuy reilly nothing higher for him to ssglre to within the army, he became su i1triguer for power outside of #. When the European control decided to reduce the army and the Khedive sbab- billy enough promulgated the order dis banding the regiments without first seeing that they were paid, he found his opportunity Arabi, it should be remembered, Is not an Egyptian, nor are the Egyptians Arabs, although their language is Arabic, as 1t is rhe language aruearly all Syria aud northern Africa. He Is a son of au Arab, born in Arabia. He Is 8 clever speaker but be is thoroughly illIterate, and to attribute to him any grand scheme for the regeneration of Islam is gro tesgue.

The Home of Gold.

A story about which there IS tas- | cinatiOn which 1t is impossible tD resls- [ when you hear men T 1t Is hat of the "Home of Gold" Somewhere III south
 western New MexIco, in the Sierra Madre, 1t Is sand there is q wonderful
 valley. Small, inciOscd m high, rocky walls, and acc ssible only toy a secret passage, which k known to but few, ID this extraordinary place. It is about ten acres ID extent, has running through
 It a stream, which waters it thoroughly, and makes 1t perfect paradise, with its exquisite flowers and beautiful trees.
 In t are thousands of birds of the most
 beautiful plumage. Running across it
 IS a ledge of pure gold about thi ty feet
 wlde, which glistens ID the sunlight
 like a great golden belt. The stream crosses the ledge, and, as 1t runs, mur-
 mus around blocks of yellow metal as
 other streams do around pebbles. The
 ledge of gold Is supposed to be solid,
 and to run down into the center If the
 earth. The legend is of Indian urigin,
 and around it clusters a number of
 Indian stories, in which the name Oi
 the illfated MOntezuma occurs fre-
 queutly. The descendants of the
 Aztecs believe firmly that the day will
 come when Montezuma W1ll return and
 free them from the dominion Of the
 descendants of the Conquista1ureS
 They believe that the money necessary
 for this work wlll be taken frum the
 Madre d'Oro. The secret of the en-
 trance into the valley IS carefully
 guarded by a tribe of Indians living
 near 1t, and among them 1t Is only com
 municated to the oldest men, and the
 solemn ceremonies of the Medicine
 Lodge Having such a story to work
 upon, there IS little wonder that the
 vivid imagination of the MeIicaus should have built upon 1t tales of men
 who have found this wonderful place.
 One Is that a certain Jose Alvarez, while wandering through the noun tains in search of game, saw the vale, from the top of the wall Finding that he could not hope to enter by elm binr down, he took up his abode with the Indians who guard the canyon leading into it. The daughter of the chief -feh in love with him. and betrayed the secret to him. Exactly how shr fOUuC 1t out they do not tell. Having been shown tue entrance, Jose went in, and would possibly have gotten away with some of the gold had he not weighted ! himself to such an extent that he could l not get up the decliyity at the lower l, end of the passage. He was discovered. | and the Indians sacrificed hun on tht ! golden ledge with all the terrible ! of the old Aztec religion l She, m dispair of losing him, threw | herself from the high walls into th' valley below. Hundreds of prospectors have spent months of tOil trying to ind | the Madre d'Oro, but it scarcely neces- sary to say, without result.-Las Cruces

An Unpublished Story of Garihaidi-
 It was the beginning of ISGl when Garibaldi first heard that the cessiOn uf Nice had been decided. The secret had been well kept. for the aff ur had been actually concluded at PlOmbieres in 1858. GaribaldI wrote at once the fol- lowing letter to General Turr, who was then only Colonel and at Turin. "FnO, lS60-My dear Colonel Turr. Will you be SO kind as to ask his Ma jesty whether It Is decided to cede Nice to France2 My fellow citizens anxiOusly ask me this question. Reply at once by telegraph, yes or uO.-G iiseppe Carr baldi." Colonel Turr immediately went tO the k val palace fnd asked to S. e the King, who was lndispused and Tn bed. The Colonel was admitted. He found Victoria Emanuele leaning Ou his cushions, his shirt sleeves rolled up above his elbows. The kmg, on hear ing the COloners business, fixed hlm with hls penetrating eyes, and exclaim- ed: By telegraph yes or no? Vefy gOOdF He stopped moment and then vehemeuuy eXclaImed; Well, then, yes; but tell the General that 1t k not only Nice, but Savoy, and that If 1 am able to abandon the country of my an- cestors, of all my race, he may well lose the town where he alone was born The King then added with au accent of profound SOFT w:''I- Is a cruel destiny that he and I should be obliged. for Italy's sake, to make the greatest sacri- flee that could be demanded" Ciaribaldl's brief letter tO Turr, It may benuted, WAS written on a sheet of paper bearing the coronet of the Marquis de RaimOndil, and dated Fino, and was, therefore, written when the General was paying his addresses tO the woman who became his wife for one sole day London Daily News.
