Through the Desert.

A Bedouin riding past us,at full speed,
carrying long spear, was in sight for
more than an hour and half. He took
all kinds of fantastic shapes, and, as re-
CARDS the distance, he was off at any
moment; the best range-iinder ever in
vented could not have localized him. At
one time he was split up into three, with
a space of something that looked like a
surface of shimmering water between
each part-the legs of the camel dancing
along over the plain without any body
attached to them, and high over them the
body of the camel and rider flying
through the air, and above them again
the tuft of feathers surmounting his
spear, looked like bird in the air. What
added TO the dreariness of this horrid
waste was the total absence of animal
life not a fish jump rufiled the surface
of the CLASSY lakes not even the pro
verbal and familiar pelican of the wild
erness was to beseen by the side of them;
no wheeling vultures overhead; even the
swarms of flies properly belonging to
the caravan deserted. The carcasses of
camels which we passed had the flesh
dried on the bones as hard as wood. |

A young woman, DR.. Dali tells us,
really quite tinelooking, and of remark
ably good physique and mental capacity,
was observed to hold herself aloof from
tle young men of the tribe in an un-
usual manner Inquiry, first of Others,
afterward of herself, brought out the
following reasons for her eccentricity.
In effect she said she was as strong as
any of the young men; not one of them
had ever been able to conquer her in
wrestling or other athletic exercises
though it had more than once been tried,
sometimes by surprise and with odds
against her She could shoot and hunt
deer as well rs any of them, and make
and set snares and nets. She had her
own gun, bought from the proceeds of
her trapping. She dospised marriage,
and did not desire to do the work of a
wife, but preferred the work which Gus
tom among the EsquimauX allots to the
men. In short, she was a ''womans
right female of the most advanced type,
When winter came, having made
a convert OF smaller and less athletic
damsel, the two set to work with wal
lus-tusk picks, and dug the excavation
in which they erected their own house,
which was of the usual type of Esqui-
maux houses-waled and rooted with
drift-wood covered with turf. 1t was,
however, as an additional defence
against unwished-for prowlng males
divided into two rooms, with a very
small and narrow door between them,
next which lay some handy billets of
wood, to crack the sconce of a possible
intruder Here our two amazons lived,
traded and carried on their affairs in de
fiance of communal bonds and public
sentiment, The latter seemed to be
composed half of envious admiration,
while all the young fellows in the vii
lage busted themselves in concocting
plans against the enterprising pair,
These were too fully on the alert to be sur.
prised and all efforts against their peace
were fruitless. When the deer-hunting
season came, the two set off to the
mountains; and no sooner had they de,
parted than disappointed lovers, and
Outraged public sentiment, eXemplitied
in mob, reduced their winter quarters
to a shapeless ruin. So far as DR.. Dali,
information goes, the following year the
ladies returned to the ordinary ways OF
the world, and gave up the unequal con
test against a tyrannical public opinion

An extraordinary and melancholy ex-
ample of the miscarriage of justice is
reported from the English town of Leek.
About year ago two farmers living
near that place were convicted upon
strong circumstantiai evidence, and
upon the positive Identification of the
prosecutor, of committing an outrageous
assault upon him, and sentenced to ten
years penal servitude. The prosecutor
has Just died, leaving full confession
that the injuries were inflicted by him
self in the hope of extorting money from
the accused persons and their friends.
In the meantime, one of the innocent
convicts, who has wife and nine child
ren, has lain in jail i'll and near death,
through Imprisonment and despair. 1t

memory of the heartless devil whose
confession has been made public, is held

in which he lived that the utmost diff

One of the mcanest men in existence
is a prosperous Kentucky farmer, 1t
has long been his custom whenever he
had a letter to write, to drop in at the
bank where he kept his account and
borrow a sheet of paper, Having fin
ished the letter he would ask the cashier
to put it in an envelope and direct it for
him, and then carry it to the Post Office
himself The frequent repetition of this
performance seemed in itself trice
small, but the cashiers indignation can
be imagined when he learned that the
farmer never stamped his letters, know
ing that the Postmaster, recognizing the
cashiers handwriting and the bank S
rame in the corner, would courteously
prepay them and send the bill to the
bank.

A western egg merchant gives the
following rule for keeping eggs:
ITO one pint of salt and one pint of
lime add four gallons of boiling
water. Slack the lime first in a
small quantity of hot water. When
cold put in stone jars or anything
that will not absorb the liquid "a
vessel of wood or brown earthen~
ware will not do) Then with a dish
let down your fresh eggs into it, tip.
ping the dish after it fills with wa
ter, so that they will roll out with
out cracking the shells, for if the
shell is cracked the egg will spoil.
Put the eggs in whenever you have
them fresh they should not be over
two or three days old. Keep them
covered in a cool place, and they
will keep fresh for year"

An Essay on congressman.
Cincinnati CONNIE clal


One Of the funniest things in life
is to note the swell that sets in Oh Il
member Of Congress. The swollen
period comes upon a member after
he has been few months in his
seat, and has ceased to wonder how
he got there.
Congressman form a mutual ad
miration society. They may quarrel
among themselves intensely and
perseyeringly, but, after all, it is q
wonderful thing to be "a member"
Each member aids in charging the
other members in their own minds,
and the development becomes gil
gantic.
The frightful slaughter that oc-
ours once in two years restores the
disturbed equilibrium, but the
people at large have no idea Of the
agony that is inflicted. The Red
Slayers in this case may think they
Stay, and not take on much about It,
but the slain full well know they are
slain, and moan and weep and want
TO come again.
Rarely a member goes out with
contentment. Often he fingers and
infests the lobby, and seeks to Shine
in the reflected light Of former great
ness. He usually regards his sue
cessor, whether of his own party or
not, with the deepest contempt.
Your old member f0rgets in the
midst Of his relics Of grandeur his
original greenness, and despises fresh
blood.
The members fall into the way of
thinking that they are the Govern
ment, and that any money Of the
people of the United States belongs
to them. They divided the public
plumber the other day with a sense
of ownership and regarded the Pres
ident'S veto as an interference with
their personal rights.
Funny little fellows who had been
brought up by hand by the news
paper men ran around swearing
about the press and chewing their
tobacco over the proposition that
they did not want the President to
lecture them.
