Reantifn1 Hair.

The Countess of Suffolk had married
Mr.. Howard, and they were both 50
poor that they took resolution of go
ing to Hanover, before the death of
Queen Anne, in order to pay their court
to the future royal fa1nilyi Such was
their poverty that, having some friends
to dinner, and being disappointed. of a
full remittance, the Countess was forced
to sellher hair to furnish the entertain.-
ment. Long wigs were then in fashion,
and the Countess's hair being long, fine
and fair, produced her twenty pounds.
The Countess's hair, however, ap-
pears to have been exceeded in value
by that of an ;Oxfordshire lass, of
whom we find the. following story re-
corded in the Protestant Mercary for
July 10, 100: "An Oxforlshire lhss
was lately courted by q young man Of
that county, who was not willing to
marry her unless her friends could ad-
vance fifty pounds for her portion,
which, they being incapable of doing,
the lass came to this city to try her for
tune, where she met with a good chap
man in. the Strand, who made pur-
chase Of her hair, which was delicately
long and light. and gave her sixty
pounds for it. being twenty ounces, at
three pounds an ounce, with which
money she joyfully returned into the
country, and bought her a husband.'
Even the hair Of this Oxfordshire lass
is rivalled by thatof an old lady who died
in 172O,whose long gray tresses are said
in the journals Of that period to have

The Passions Of Ialam. J.

Nine. Blanche Lee Childe (the wife
of a nephew Of General Robert Z. Lee),
in a series of papers giving her impress
sions of Egypt, says:
'"Then the principal dervish begins
litany, and all the disciples reply with .
kind of growing which resembles MOTH
ing human. Lionesses or hyenas might
utter such responses. A few Mussulmen
spectators leave our group and join in
the ceremony, murinuring allah.
Allah,' at each response. The sounds of
lamentation grew keener, the music in
strange and taking rhythm keep up
the measure with quickening: blows on
the tambourine. Nothing can be lima
gined more heartbreaking than these
appeals to Allah, these sighs which
come in waves like the groaning Of q
surf How wonderful these faces are,
admirable types Of suffering, Of .ecstacy,
of mad misery, OF supreme longings, OF
inexpressible anguish! The expression of
the human countenance can go no fur
ther than this nor grow more intense.
At this moment in the weird drama, as
the circle of these frenzied creatures
widens and comes back upon us who
are looking on, huddlled up ina corner
of the hall, vision suddenly rises upon
me of those ferocious beings, bowling,
grasping, and turning upon us as their
prey! In few seconds the Christian
dogs would be torn to pieces without hope
of succor. We are barely some twenty
poor, scrimped, awkward, feeble
tourists, absurd in our European gar
ments, and we should quickly become .
mere legend. Before us is brutal force
developed, splendid, free. motions
strong as those of q panther, passion
nervous, and religious magnetism ex-
cited to the highest point. Their con-
vnlsions. their cries, are full of frenzy,
but Of frenzy regulated, kept in hand,
deliberate, and far more redoubtable
therefore than any spontaneous rage.
You feel that whatever one of these de-
mons-demons for the moment-might
do would be done at once by the others.
But all this is and remains 3 vision. We
shall not pass to posterity in the story
of a celebrated massacre"

Rules for Riding.

In mounting, face the near side of the
horse. The near side is the side nearest
yourself. II you stand on the right side
of the horse, which is the wrong side,
when you mount, you will face the crup-
per- Then everybody will know that
your name is Johann G0ttlieb Ernsige-
folger.
If you cannot mount from the ground.
lead the horse to high fence, climb up
on the fence, say "whoa'' two or three
times, and jump over the horses ears.
You will light somewhere ON his neck,
and will have plenty of time to adjust
yourself while the horse is running
away. Another method of mounting,
largely practiced by young gentlemen
from the city, is to balance yourself on
one foot on the fence, and point the
other leg at the horse in the general
direction of the saddle, saying ''whoa''
all the time. The horse. after this
gesture has been repeated few times,
backs away, pulls the alleged rider off
the fence and walks up and down the
lane with him at a rapid gallop. This
gives the rider, in about ten minutes,
all the exercise he wants for = week.
If by some miracle you manage to
get into the saddle. hold on with both
hands, and say '.whoa." The faster the
horse goes the tighter you must hold
on, and the louder you must holler."
X If you are from New York or Phila-
delphia, you will shorten the. stirrups
until Your knees are on level with
your chin. Then. as you ride you will
rise to your feet and stand in the atti-
tude of a man peering over a:fence to
look for his dog. and then suddenly fall
in the saddle like a man who has step
ped on a banana peel. This is the Eng
lish school. 1t is hard on the horse. but
is considered very graceful. A man
cannot wear false teeth, however, and
ride in this manner. .-Burlington Hawk

After the Bombardment.

What an American Chaplain Saw in Alexandria
Chaplain Morrison, of the flagship
Lancaster; las written long letter
home of his experiences at and after the
Commandment of Alexandria. ''When
[ went on Shore" he says, Il had to
pick my way along over masses of ruins.
Fallen houses completely blocked up
many of the streets. Fire was all
around rs. The crash Of burning houses
was constantly heard. Dead bodies
were lying uncovered in the streets. all
swollen and putrid. I saw dogs feeding
lpon the hideous corpses. Walking
through Mahomet Ali square-the finest
part Of the city-all we saw was q mass
Of ruins on every side. The fire fiends
had done their work thoroughly. l
could not realize before what it was fo:
a city to be given up to the pillage OF
licentious soldiery, and abandoned to
the rage Of an infuriated mob. At our
headquarters saw a number of women
who had been rescued by our men the
night before Some of them had only
saved their lives by remaining many
hours in the water under bath-house.
when driven from their burning homes:
One poor woman had been stabbed en-.
tirely through the thi gh when the rob-
bers were pillaging her house. Our
men have been working gallantly in
saving and guarding property, putting
out fires, arresting thieves, and aiding
the English in patrolling the city night
and day. We have one of the very
worst sections in charge. Several times
our men have fired at robbers and those
caught setting fresh fires. For the first
day or two that our men were ashore
they did good work in burying the Of
fensive corpses that were lying around.
They would impress the idle natives
who were standing around and compel
them to help in this work. / saw them
drag several bodies into a great hole
that was blown up in the square and
cover them over with earth. In one
place they found thirty bodies pied up
in the street. I have been all through
the city within the past few days, alone
or..with party of officers. Running to
put out a freshly-started fire, driving
from one end of the town to the other,
wandering among smoking ruins, going
through elegant houses, with fine furni-
turc smashed to pieces. I saw a bank
with great doors hacked through to the
iron bolts. just inside there was q
strong barricade of sand bags. It was
defended by a party of Montenegrins,
who are desperate fellows, and they had
driven off an immense crowd Of assail-
ants. 1t is said that they killed very
many. We stepped inside, and saw the
safes unharmed, and piles Of silver-ware
lying within the iron bars. tits sad to
see the refugees returning to their des-
olated and ruined houses. Many who
were we'll off q few days ago have lost
their all, and are actually reduced to
want. And yet there is a ludicro,is side
as well. 1t is really amusing TO see all
Of the natives carrying white rag, or 4
piece Of paper, in the hand, or tied to a
stick, Or on the whip of the cabmen, or
fluttering from the harness, or stuck in
the bridle of the donkeys, over the
doors, on the fruit stands and every
where that you 60, as though to say:
i surrender! Don't shoot me!" '.,i>
