Two Arabs, attired in fezzes, baggy trou.

were in the city yesterday attracting uni
yersal attention by their appearance and by
their efforts to sell beads and other curious
trnkets. Their story, as related by them
to HERALD reporter, through AN inter-
prefer, was to the effect that year ago
they left Palestine with goods and
trinkets, which they peddled through
Spain, Brazil and elsewhere. They were
shipwrecked while on the voyage home and
lost the most of their possessions. They
We're rescued after floating several days on
a hastily-constructed RAFT, and conveyed TO
New Orleans. At New Orleans they con.
suited with various persons, and finally con-
Francisco, where they had information
that small colony of Syrians re-
sided. They walked part OF the
way to Texas, and had their fare paid q
portion OF the way by kind-hcarted
young man. They had saved some few of
their curious beads and trinkets which they
were selling, when officer Overland arrested
them for peddling without license. They
could not be made to comprehend what
wrong they had done, and as they were
gong west on the evening train, they were
released. They said they had but little
money and were willing to do any sort Of
Work IL they could only get employ.

enough to reach San Francisco II was
suggested that unfortunately there were
no vacancies at present in the board of al

quite as useful in this line rs anything the
Guy was accustomed to, but they failed to
comprehend the point. They went wos,-

ROCK CREEK FIFTY YEARS AGO.
THEN AND NOW.
By AN OLD GEORGETOWN BOZ.

BIT AN OLD GEORGETOWN BOY
Dear haunt OF my boyhosd how often think
OF the rasaOles we've had On the nils near thy
brink,
Aus when tired out, how we've laid by thy side
Meath the shade OF thy rochS, TIL the cool even
tile.
Yes, fond recoIlections come flowing in now
Though long years have passed, and their marks
lay brow
i remember them stir as the heydays o, yore,
And prize them more dearly than ever before.
With pants rolled up high and held tightly in
hand
We've wadei thy shadows DER gravel and sand,
And when II would deepen then quickly we'd stop
And feel where the bottom was nearer the top.
I'VE pluck'd the wild flowers that grow by thy
side
And tied them In punches with true boyish pride,
In hopes that sweetheart attracted might be,
And a smile might get for a bo1uet from me.
With shout we have plunged from thy rocks by
the score,
And swain ZOE a wager from shore tn shore.
Though winning or losing we'd stty there ana
swim
Till the shadows grew long, and the suns rays
were diIl-
When old winter mantled thee thickly with ice
wen drop I'LL our SJillt5 WIFI dFt-ut tiPNlcc
And glide on thy bosom I'll lite in the day,
How sweet the thought yet, though I'm now grow
ing gray.
And now as we think OF our playmates and plays,
And the unnumbeTed pleasures of those youthful
days,
Sur heart heaveS a sigh that 50 few now remain
70 join III our thoughts, Or 10 sing in our strain.
On the banks of thy waters whers often we've
tired
How many now silently sleep meath the sol.
The hill SIDES 10 longer their old songs reSound,
For they rest, calmly rest, and they sweetly sleep
sound
The soiiicr. the sailor, the doctor. and priest,
The rich and the poor, the greatest and least,
The mother and daughter. the father and son,
All rest there in peace, now their work Is all done
The birds MARBLE sweetly their notes in those
bowers,
While friends strew the graves of those loved ones
with flowers,
And sad is the thought IS those flowers we strew,
That we know not how soon they may deck ours
too
Tread lightly around where those loved ones now
lie,
Drop tear or their graves: breathe the Zephyrs a
sigh;
That they watt them the thought that wen join
them ere long
And sing with them then more beautiful song.
Then, there On thy banks in Oak Hill would rest
"In Its bosom of shade, with the friends l love
best"
Yes, ''Calm could rest in that ioysly retreat,
And sweet could 1 sleep with them; sleeping so

STAMPING MACHINES.
A little removed from the stamper's tables are
two small machines worked with an ordinary
crank and balance wheel. These are machines de-
vised to take the place Of the human machines

As to the ORIGIN or cause of the fire your COM
