occasion invited to the tent of a minor
chief, who was my guide and most
humble servant. He concocted, for nv
benefit and that of several guests from
neighboring tents, brew of very thin
coffee with an immense quantity OF
sugar-a sort of s:rup which had hardly
any taste save of sugar; and, having 3
small piece of the sugar-loaf left, he
gave it to me on our parting as the only
present he was able to offer. We sat
in this tent for more than an hour adj
miring the mastery inactivity of She
Arabs, who can apparently sit silent and
quite unemployed for whole days, and
who thus appear to await with endless
patience the day when civilized races
shall have worn themselves out by theiI
struggles for existence and the Arab
survivor be left master of the field.
This inactivity is, however, delusiye;
for let il be thought that the guest is
doing in the evening, and he may per-
haps see these grave, listless men
creeping like cats, or hopping nimbly
round his person like birds. feeling his
pockets with a delicate touch, or en-
deavoring to abstract his saddle-lraos
from beneath his head. The Arab is,
indeed, a continual actor. His naughty,
frowning air, his gravity and laziness,
his courage and courtesy, are all as
sumed as mask, hiding soul which
Is often mean, grasping. cowardly and
treacherous. His appearance in the

Treasures Among Rags.

The money and other valuables found
in the rags furnish good illustration OF
how much confidence may be placed in
cleansing and inspecting. "a young
lady said one gentleman, working
in one of our mills found a diamond
ring valued ut one hundred and fifty
dollars inside the lining of an old vest
that was taken from n bale of rags, and
there have been repeated instances
where bank-noteS some cases in
large sums have been found. as also
have gold, silver and copper coin. In
some cases these are found in the peck
cts of old garments. evidently forgotten
or overlooked by the former wearer. In
many cases the money or other Yalua-
bleS has slipped from holes in the peck
cts and been caught in the Innings, and.
IN still other cases, money and even
diamonds have been found, stitched
firmly between the outside and lining
of the garment. The Chinese RAGS have
generally kept all the mill hands sup
pliet with specimens Of the Chinese
cash, n small copper coin with hole in
the middle, by which the natives carry
the coins in large quantities strung on
a cord. All sorts of writings appear
notes of hand, bonds, drafts, love and
business letters, marriage contracts.
and many other compositions in every
language and style, and some of drv,
very questionable character. There is
no telling of the crimes that now are
shrouded in mystery that might be fully
unraveled by the testimony revealed in
the paper-,nill rag-roOms.

of our mills had at one time quite an
extensive collection of curiosities, all

Jenkins and His Double.

One winter evening a gentleman,
whom we shall call Mr.. jenkins, had
been dining quietly at his club, than
which no more respectable and classic
editice adOrns Pail Mall. In due time
jenkins started for his chambers in the
Temple. lie is a barristcr, and, rs the
poet sings:
Persuasion tips his tongue wheneer he
talks.
Aud he has chambers in the Kings Bench
Walks"
The night was very windy AMI driz-
zly. and jenkins paused on the steps OF
his club, struggling with his umbrella.
On the other side of the street he OBJ
served n man dressed exactly like him
self, also engaged i'm struggling with
his umbrella. Jenkins walked briskly
down the south side of Pail Mall, but
he could not help observing that the
figure on the other side of the way kept
pace with him exactly. He soon be-
came curious about the man and
crossed over to observe him more close
". On reaching the north side of Pail
Mall, at the entrance of Waterloo place,
he found that he had lost sight of the
figure. Rather relieved at this. jenkins
walked on, hut turning casually Mt the
Old Watcr-cUlor SOciCty's Gallery, he
beheld his companion marching on the
opposite, the southern, side of Pail
Mall. He crossed again, missed him
again, but saw that the figure ac-
cOmpanicd him down the Strand.
jenkins reached the gate of the Tenn
pie, Knocked, and was admitted by the
porter. Are YOU sure you know
me?" he asked the porter. know
you, sir, Of course do; I've known YOU
for years" You could not
mistake any one else for me9"
Impossible, sir" well" said
jenkins, pointing across Fleet street.

he's an impostor. He'll try to get in,

care you don't let him in" The por-

and there. to his horror. saw himself
sitting in the armchair before the fire.
To drop his candl in his fright, to
rush down stairs (like the sailor who
took five hours to climb Maiuba Hill
and came down in three minutes. } was
TO the awe-struck jenkins the work of a
moment. He hurried to the porter :
lodge. "Why did you let that fellow
imp" he cried. 'Door has not been
opened since you came in, SIR" replied
the proud porter. On hearing this
jenkins decided not to return to his
chamters; he passed the night Mt a
neighboring hotel. Next dav. in the
cheerful sunshine, he ventured back TO
his rooms. The candlestick was living
on the floor. but everything else was
orderly. In the bedroom another scene
met his eye. The storm of the night
before had blown the chimney through
the roof, and the heavy cOpmg-stono
repOSed where jenkins head should
have been-on the pillow of jenkins.
His double, by frightening him out of
his chambers, had saved his life. Let
us remember this affecting anecdotc

whatever was found was generally
taken possession of by the finder, this
man was in the habit of going to the
mill ON Sundays and mornings before
work hours, to open and examine the
bales OF rags by himself. Whether he
ever found much of value or not is I'M
certain, but in one bale he did find a
pair oil. drawers of English make, and
nearly new. 1t occurred to him to take
of the old ones he was wearing, and to
put on those he had found. He did so,
and In few days was taken sick with
what soon developed into a case of
smallpox In its most malignant form.
The disease proved fatal in this case,
but 1t was only just before the death of
the unfortunate man that he confessed
the ioolhardy manner in which he had
exposed himself and others, for the dis
ease spread, and something like twenty
NOR cases Of smallpox and varioloid
followed in rapid succession, and it was
only by the most vigilant means that
the ravages were finally stopped. Sew
