If the American republic is not in danger
il is not because of any lack of claimants to
royal descent among its citizens says the Pail
Mall Budget. According to an insignificant
looking book, which is being secretly circula-
lated among the upper classes in New York,
the descendants Of kings literally swarm in
tho Empire City However republican may
be the spirit of the New Workers in the alb
stract, many OF them take intense interest in
ascertaining whether they belong TO the
" Americans of Royal Descent" whose genoa
logy is given in volume with that title
privately published by Mr.. Browning, him
self descendant of William the COnqueror.
Tho little volume, which is constructed some
what on the plan of a railway guide possesses
AN air of reality and truthfulncss, although its
revelations are of u most startling character.
satisfactory as il it may be to know that one
desGonds from portly Dutchman who loved
gold in special" there Is yet higher salts
taction--nay, glory--in tho thought that tho
stout heartedness of a Robert Bruce the good
ness of King Alfred, and tho magnanimity
of u Charlcmagnc, have all something TO do
with the qualities of the Van CoTtandts. the
Rutheriords, and tho LGwrcnces of the pre-.
sent time Van Cortlandts, rs Mr.. Browning
has discovered, Is a corruption for McCort-
landts, and as only two generations ago u
Miss Barclay marrying u Mr. Van Cortlandts
brought the royal blood of James /. and
Robert Bruce into the family, all the Van
Cortlandts of New York arc lineal descend
ants of tho horo of Bannockburn. The
family of Rutherford after some indocison
as to whether they were "furds" or " fords,"
happily adopted the u which now entities
them to regard themselves as descendants of
Charlomagne, to say nothing of Scotch kings
English lords, and French dukes whose
glittering splendors adorn the family tree of
the otherwise prosaic Rutherford. The Law
rences are shown to have descended from
Alfred tho Great, the Clarksons claim dos
cent from st. Louis, the Hydes from Edward
III. The Lloyds trace their pedigree back
to tho husband Of Lady Godiva, and tho
Lansons come in a straight line from Queen
Eleanor. There are so many " Kings chill
dren" in New York that if the royal race
should die out in the elIote old world there
will be no difficulty in supplying the def
cient yield of kings, as of breadstutis, from
across tho Atlantic.

The Work or Heaven in Bringing u

| THE Work Of Heaven in Bringing u
Widow and Widower Together.
Detroit FrcG Pres.
A woman arrived here yesterday forenoon
| from the cast with seven children in tow and
Mt almost the same hour man reached the
same depot from the north with fvo offspring
of various ages and sizes. She was widow
and he n widower, and til children had moi
| been span kod more than once around before
| there was II sort of mutual sympathy that be-
got admiration and then friendship. One of
the widows boys offered one of tho widowers s
girls bite of his fried cake which was ac-
ccpted in tho spirit tcndcrcd and a ten-year
| old girl belonging to the man made up to the
two-year old belonging to the woman and
soon secured the privilege of wiping its nose
and combing its hair, Presently the widower
made bold to inquire:
Madam am wrong in believing that you
are widowP'
81 have been widow fourteen months to-
day" she answered.
Great ScOtsl but its ust fourteen months
to-day since my Hammer died! Which way be
you going?'
"TO Ilanoy."
That's just where Pm going, too. Did
you promise your husband never to marry
again.
NO"
"And didn't promise my wife, either.
Fact is, believe | shall unite us soon os |
find some good woman"
"And my children need fathers care"
sho sighed, as she pulled little John Henry
OF tho window sill aud bumped him into q
seat.
Tho man got up and walked around the
waiting room and took closer look at the
children. Then he returned and said
" suppose you've got fow hundred dol
ash nH
bake and mend, and are of mild and for
giving disposition"
"Ncs, that's me-"
"Wcll, Pm kinder religious, even tenn
percd, aud am worth about $1,000. I'm sort
o. struck on you. There's something about
your eyes that reminds me of HRnner."
" Aud you look ike Alonzo around the
mouth" sho sighed
Then ho bent over and whispered something
about Chicago and getting married, and she
nodded her head. lie gathered his children
under his wing, took them into corner, and
solonnly aud impressively said
Children, I'm going to git married to that
woman over there, and give you new mother.
If any of yon is going to kick aud boo-hoo
about 1t, begin now, so that can tune ye
down before the train goes. Henry, you are
the oldest. Are you going TO declare you'll
run away or commit suicide Let me know
right now, for this is a good cool place to
prance ye around with shingle."
Henry said he guessed it would be all right,
and the rest of tho crowd seemed 10 agree,
and ten minutes later the widower and widow
sat holding hands and trying to eat peanuts,
and the twelve children were biting and pull
ing hair and kicking to SEQ who should have
a seat on the steam heater.
"This is kinder the work of heaven"
chuckled the widower, as he hitched little
nearer,
You bet love W she renIied as sho sbuclred
another peanut with her teeth.

An Arab Wedding in 1883. From Belgravia.l

Descriptions of Arab customs have so often
 been placed before the reading public that
 some apology is needed for again attempting to describe the ceremonies attending an Arab
 wedding. My excuse for attempting what
 has been so often done before must be that a
 wedding on a grand scale is an exceedingly
 rare occurrence among the Arabs of the Sou
 dao, and, owing to the great variety of tribes
 represented at an Arab seaport, an unusually
 eood opportunity was afforded of witnessing
 different tribal customs. The wedding pro-
 pose to describe took place in the present
 year of grace 1883, at Souakin. For the ben
 eft of those whose geography was learned some years ago. let me state that Souakin is a town situated on the Red Sea, in 19 degrees north latitude and 37 degrees east longitude, and is the chief port for the produce of the Soudan and the equatorial provinces of Egypt. The fathers of both bride and bridegroom were leading merchants in the port-the father of the bridegroom being the owner of nearly two-thirds of the island on which Souakin is built. The festivities in connec- l tion with the wedding lasted for ten days, during which time open house was kept by the brideeroom's father, music, singing and dancing being kept Gp night after night until
 dawn announced the approach of day. Each mig some different tribe gave it's own pecu-
 liar songs and dances, in a large shamiana l which had been erected for the purpose, and
 all Souakin focked to participate in or be | passive spectators of the scene. Profession 1 al singers and dancers had been brought over | the sea from Jeddah to assist the local taient' l and the intervals between the dances were
 filled up with Arab love songs. The favorite musical instrument of all Arabs is the drum,
 or tpm tum. This consists of gourd or g
 laroe earthen bowl with a skin stretched over l it The Souakinese have also sort of double
 haoeoIet made of reeds, which makes Q very | shTiII tboueh not unpleasant sound and the Hadramaut Arabs use species of bagpipes
 which emit sounds productive of the most
 exouisite torture The music, as rule, is of l a very monotonous character, though at times
 something like a quick march is struck up,
 which is always accompanied by the audlence l with clapDine of hands Entertainments | were given on successive nights. by the Bish- 1 areen Arabs who inhabit the hill country be- l tween Souakin and the Nile on the southwest;

 The properties of water are only partially l understood by those who have never seen 1t under high pressure. The Virginia City Water company gets it's supply from Mariette Lake, on the Tahoe side of the mountain. It gets it through by long tunnel, is then on | the crest of high mountain opposite Mount Davidson, with Washoe Valley between. To cross this valley by Hume would be almost impossible, So the water is carried down the mountain side to the bottom, and crosses un- der the " and T. railroad track, on the di- vide between Washoe and Eagle valleys, then up again to the required height in iron pipes, The depression created in the line of car I riage is l ,72O feet, and the pressure on the pipes is 500 pounds to the square inch One pipe is eleven inches in diameter, and is l quarter inch iron, lap-welded, and eighteen l feet long, with screw joints. There IS little | trouble from it; but the other, which is | twelve inches in diameter and is riveted pipe, makes more or less trouble all the time. The pipe is laid with the seam down, and when | ever crack is made by the frost or sun warping 1t, or from any other cause, the stream pours forth with tremendous force If the joint is broken open, of course the whole stream is loose and goes tearing down | the mountain, but usually the escape is very small The break last week was less than l five eighths of an inch in diameter, and yet the water in the Hume was lowered an inch and half by it, and the pressure went down fifteen CT twenty pounds Capt Overton says that fifty inches of water went through it It has been probably year in cutting out, and was made by little stream hardly visible to the naked eye that escaped through
 joint and struck the pipe two or three feet off eating away the iron until the pressure inside broke it through. When such break occurs the noise Can be heard for half mile, and the earth shakes for hundreds of feet around. A break the size of hitting needle uvilI cut a hole n tha nine in half an hour Such breaks are repaired by putting a band around the pipe, pouring in molten lead, and
 tamping it in. Such stream bores through
 rock like sand blast. The flying water is
 as hard as iron, and feels rough like file to
 the touch It is impossible to turn it with \ the hand. as it tears the flesh off the bones,
 and if the fingers are stuck into the stream,
 with the point up, the nails are instantly
 turned back and sometimes torn loose from
 the flesh

by the Hadendoas who dwell south near the Abyssinian frontier; by the Hadramauts who hail from the Persian Gulf; and by profes. sional dancing girls from Jeddah, who gave several performances of the Deluka, dance very similar to the Indian nautch The na- tional dance of the Bishareen Arabs is of 6 military character, as becomes the members of so warlike tribe. The dancers form 6 circle standing about four paces apart, so as to give space for the brandishing of their spears. They then move slowly round to the beating of the tunl, tums, singing the while, and now and again halting and raising their spears high above their heads, as if about to hurl them. Gradually the music quickens, and with it the steps of the dancers the spears whirl round the heads of the dusky warriors at an astonishing rate, and it looks as though somebody would certainly be impaled. This continues till the dancers are tired out, when they retire, and their places are taken by another batch They soon come up to time again, however, and about 30 of them will keep the dance going necessarily throughout the night The dance of the Hadendoas is somewhat similar, except that they are armed with swords, and all carry round shields made of hippopota- mus hide. As they get excited in the dance, they crouch and spring, and assume the most grotesque attitudes, cIashing their swords, and making wonderful close slaves of cutting of each others heads.

The revised form upon which, after the 10th instant, brewers are to make their re- turns will perhaps give the public more knowledge in regard to the ingredients of beer than it has been possible heretofore to obtain. Under the law regulating brewers they have been required to keep two books, one contain ing the record of the amount manufactured, sales, etc, and the other the kind and amount of materials used. They have not been required to forward transcripts of their materials book to the collectors, though the law provides that the books shall always be open to the collector or any authorized agent. In practice these books have been very imperfectly kept, and many brewers have not kept them at all The use of glu- cose, corn, rice and various decoetions is bs- since new revision of form Is (the one upon which brewers make their monthly re- turns) was approved and sent out, snd the first returns under it must be made to col lectors on Friday of this week.
