The aborigines Of Australia are of %
distinct race from that inhNbillnS the
Indian Archipelago, aud Nre black, with
some slight variety of shade from brown
black to jet. Their hair is curly, hut
not the crisp wool of the negro. Their
faces are well developed, broad ut the
base. their lips less protudmG than
those of the negro. Their bodies are
deficient in muscularity and strength,
but are capable Of great endurance. 1t
is said that they readily adopt European
habits. These natives seldom build nuts
or other fixed dwellings, but use as n
shelter strip of bark or large bough.
They kindle fires by rubbing two dry
sticks together, while they often eat
their food raw, and their cooking Is OF
tho most primitive sort, consisting OF
making hole in the ground, lighting a
fire in it, putting in the dead animal, and
covering it with earth until the fire 10
out, when it is sufficiently cooked. III
the wild districts they generally go with
only the covering which Adam and I'VE
had, minus tho fg-leaf, although III the
neighborhood Of the settlements they
wear sheepskins or the blankets and
clothing they receive through ther IN
tercourse with the settlers. They ar
expert with the spear, and use club o

Shn Was Kissed Too Much.

Itisnt often that o girl is kissed too |
much, and less frequently does Il boy |
suffer from too much Of that sort of
thing. IT is different from washing and
ironing aud cooking and sweeping down
the stairs, that girls have been known to
serl, kissing rather than those things,
aud often much to the neglect OF them.

Great danger lurked IN kissing, even

II appears, however, that there is n
great deal OF danger in kissing which is
not scnsibly and deccntly done. A story
comes through the English papers Of an
extraordinary young German couple who
wugerod to kiss each other ten thousand
times in the course of ten hours. That
seems easy enough, and probably there
arc thousands of young lovers who pre-
sumo they have time and again done
some thousands better than that. The
wager was the result of discussion
about how many kisses could be crowded
into a given time. The enterprise was
undertaken with great vigor, the only
drawback being tho presence OF spec
tRtors. Within the first hour two thou-
sand kisses were exchanged, and the
outlook was propitious. The record,
however, did not keep up, only one
thousand being added i'll the seconC

San Francisco. Oct. 24.-Tombstone
dispatch: Thomas Ewing just arrived
here bringing tidings of his hairbreadtb
escape while encamped on the Sonora
river. Ewing said that some parties,
unknown to himself and party, in the
dark attempted to run his stock, and
a battle ensued IN consequence, in
which one man named Flanagan was
killed and two prisoners taken. Ewing
escaped. He ascertained later that his
assailants were custom house officers.
Another gentleman, since arrived,
states that custom house officers were
iding along the main road looking for
smugglers, and seeing a fire near the
road rode forward to investigate. They
were received with a volley, which they
returned, killing mi nan Another
dropped his pistol at the commence
ment of the ARRAY and ran. Two Others
were captured and taken to Arispe,
The guards stated that they thought
they were dealing with smugglers, and
did not fire until they were fired
upon.

Cairo, Oct. 24.-The Egyptian gov
eminent officially denies that Arab
prophets had any share in the defeat of
the Egyptian troops during the late
war. The authorities attribute the re-
suit to other causes.
Alexandria, Oct. 24.-It is unofi-
cially reported that the Egyptian gov
eminent is about TO abandon the prose-
cution of Arab Pasha. 1t is charged
that this action is due to the expressed
wishes of the authorities at Constanti-
nople.
Cairo, Oct. 24.-The evidence against
Arab Pasha is said to be very strong.
His correspondence with the sultan is
highly compromising.
1t is thought that the entire pro-
ceedings against the rebels awaiting
trial may be stopped by n decree of
exile against the ring-leaders and am
nesty to others.
Arab Pasha says that events prove
to him the folly of hoping in any
| further movement or trusting the sui
tan, as the happiness of Egypt makes
necessary the virtual government of
| the country by the English.

A Pennsylvania Holiday.

Philadelphia, Oct. 24.-No more
fitting weather could have been voueh-
safed for "I4anding-day'' than that
which prevailed this morning. At no
time during the event of the centennial
period vas it so thoroughly and heartily
celebrated by the public which filed
the streets, the river front, windows,
and the roofs of houses fronting the
Delaware, and all sorts of gaily deco
rated crafts on the river. Shortly after
eight O'Clock the boats, steam barges
and other vessels to the number of $50
formed in line in the vicinity of the
league stand, some five miles south of
the city proper, and followed in the
wake of the Welcome, a Danish bark,
fitted up to represent the original YES
sci on which Penn came over. Penn
was ~personated by Frank L. Van
Horne.
After a few simple ceremonies aboard
the Welcome, the latter was taken in
tow by a tug and brought up TO the
city. AS she passed the North ATTAIN
tic squadron, anchored below the point
chosen for PENIS landing, she was
saluted by the Tennessee's guns and
returned the salute. The wharf where
the landing took place was at Dock
street, said to be just above the point
where the original landing was effected.
At half-past ten Penn stepped over the
side of the Welcome, and as he dia 90
the scene was lively beyond description,
boat bells being rung, steam whistles
both on the river and on land blown,
guns fred. and the multitude cheered.

San Francisco. Oct. 24.-J. Rouroke,
night inspector, on duty on board the
steamship Arabic last night, has been
arrested and is in the custody of the
United States marshal on a charge of
conspiracy and aiding to get smuggled
goods ashore.
The custom house officials al
lege that they have proof to the effect
that, instead of Rouroke preventing
smuggling from the vessel, he looked at
the men during the delivery of the on
traband articles into the boat, and also
conversed with them. Other parties
are strongly suspected of implication in
the smuggling and will be arrested as
sufficient evidence is obtained.
