fashionable restaurant, he compels the
sheriff to go along. No prisoner has a
right to impose on a sheriff to that ex-
tent. The sheriff should be allowed by
law to substitute deputy when pris-
oner insists on having company in his
solitude at fashionable restaurant, or
while being whirled through Central
Park behind fast team.
Ward, however, is a peculiar prisoner
IN many other respects. His hilarity
rarely deserts him, although the more
he talks the deeper he gets in. He is the
son of Presbyterian clergyman who
once went to India to convert the heath
en-, apparently to the neglect of the NOR
al training of his own son, who went
from bad to worse until he landed in
Wall Street. When old man Ward call
ed on the Grant family before the firm
was established, he said to the General,
Now, General, you must take good
care 6f Ferdy." Possibly Ferdy's pa
meant it for sarcasm. AT least it reads
very much like sarcasm in the light of
subsequent events, On Sunday before
last Ferdy spent an hour in close consul
tation with q clerical visitor. 1t is init
mated that the care of multitudinous
government contracts, obtained as Mr..
Fish thought, through the magnetic in
fuence of Gen. Grants name, has pre-
vented Mr.. Ward from paying proper at
'tention of his conscience. When not en-
gagged in giving the Sheriff little fresh
air in a stylish turnout, be is possibly en-
gagged in receiving spiritual advice of simi'
lar character to the instructions given Mr..
Emo by his spiritual adviser, the Right
Reverend Father Ducey. There is moth
ing more commendable in clergyman
than visiting and consoling those who
like st. Paul, are in bends. AS general
thing, however, the thieves in Jail are
not disturbed much by the pastoral
calls, unless the thief has salted down
enough money to makeit an object. The
presumption is that when Jay Gould is
locked up, the jail will be besieged by
archbishops. 1t always pays to be big
misappropriator. Heaven itself seems
to smile on the wholesale malefactor.

Wedding Dresses.

A wedding is the most interesting
event in girls life, and, as rule, 1T is
the one where common sense is least

about it, or Cupid, the little sly god, so

paper. This is, all the, Ist9ck ip trade
needed, except generous allowance of
cheek. One of the fellows dresses him
self like DUDE, and generally conducts
himself so that everybody to whoiRiih he
appeals make fun Of him. a Perhaps he
does sell few pieces of fths soap, for,it
appears to do what is-elsimed for it, but
he purposels y max suchali ass Of him
selfthat nobody wants to trade with him.
Soon, when he is boasting Of how much
soap he can sell in day, a acommen hook
ing fellow in the crowd calls out, "Well,
why don't you sell it them" and at once
they get into wrangle, which is ended
by the plain fellow betting that he,can
sell more soap in ten Ilinutes than the
proprietor of the stand can sell in half
an hour. The bet is generally quite a
large one, and, as sympathy is entirely
with the communicating fellow, the
crowd comes to his support. and he rap
idly sells out his share of the soap, and
finally disposes of the greater part of the
others packages. It is needless to say
that the fellows are confederates, and are
playing into each others hands. Two
good operators can make tremendous
profits by working this game, and they
run no risk of being arrested.

F1irtatisnsfn Havana.
Cincinnati Enquirer.


Clara Belle has Just returned from a
flying trip to Havana, and thus describes
how the girls manage to f1irt in that
sleepy old Spanish city: yljs,IIsa 9H
= "A goodlooking, well-dressed young
man began to pass and repass the house.
"Who is lt?" | asked.
.,I""Good, heavensl " cried one sister to
the other. 'It is that wretched Don
Emilio. For goodness sake, how often
has he passed?D. 81" a'H ~ Jior
."About three times,"s L. i'3t 81
'"Instantly the two girls arose, as if
greatly frightened, closed the heavy
wooden shutters of the building, and
bidding me follow, went up stairs and
occupied rocking chairs ON the back
veranda.
"You must know" said Rosa, the eld.
est, "that this is the way men firt here.
The ladies rarely go out, and never go
unaccompanied by relative or slave.
They spend their time as you saw us,
seated in the windows. The young men.
If they wish to make the acquaintance
of a lady, pass and repass the window;
if she remains at the window that is a
sign the young man is pleasing to her.
II she leaves the window, he may know
his suit is rejected. We ewere not mo-
ment too soon."
Amazed at this. piled the girl with
questions. l found out tina. they would
not 60 out of doors except in the eve
ming with toothless old gench named
Conception, or with their father or
mother. If necessity drove them to
some store, they must take the old
wench in their carriage, and wait in the
vehicle while the clerks brought the
goods out to the curb-stone and display
ed them one at the time. No young
lady could with any safety see her
sweetheart alone before her marriage
to him. If she remained in his COM
pany alone for one minute, the act
would be misconstrued, and he might
take advantage of it. No young lady
could with any safety, walk alope for
ever SO short distance, under any i'm
aginable circumstances.

Then there is the brides dress. Five
to hundred pounds, and even more
is spent on white robe, which is never
afterwards worn. The poorer the "higf

ably silly does the custom seem.

People who can afford it may buy a

san classes, they are put to still sorer
Straits. Many 'workmen may not be
able, for various reasons, to get married
in the weekday, because they cannot get

People situated like this have, there
fore, almost to rise early on the Sunday,
to get the ordeal over before the hour
appointed for the celebration of divine
service.
Turning back to the money foolishly
spent at weddings, should be mentioned
the cost of the gorgeous vehicles which
1T is fashionable to use as means of
conveyance to and from the church, or
registers office. One half of these
might be dispensed with, though, per-
haps, after all, the brides would object,
as a body, to the great event of a girls
life being thus shorn of part of its ro-

There are>i in Shakespeare's plays
about ninety deaths taking place either
on the stage or Immediately behind.
The modes of death are various. Cold

fos about two-thirds ofthe whole; twelve
persons die from old age or decay; seven
are beheaded; five die by poison, ihclud-
ing the elder Hamlet, whose symptoms
are so minutely described by the ghosts

Love, Courtship and Marriage among the
Rowing Arabs.

ATobss !.
The girls have little to do with select
ing. tlieir,. husbands. The men. nearly
always fix that up among themselves.
Abold warrior sees girl whom be loves
in - another bia tribe. He rides Haup
at night, finds out where she is sleeping
dashes up to her tent, snatches her up
in his arms, puts her before him on the
horse and sweeps away like the wind
If he happens to be caught, he is shot
If he lis not, the tribe from which he has
stolen the girl pays him visit in few
days. The dervish, priest of the tribe,
joins the hands of the young man and
girl, and both tribes join in the merri-
ment. All the bravest men steal their
wives, but there are some who do not.
Their method is little different. OF a
calm, moonlight highland moonlight
in the tropics is FAR more beautiful than
here-you may see an Arab sitting be-
fore the tent Of his inamorata picking a
stringed instrument something like our
banjo, and singinga song of his own
composition. This is his courtship.
They are the most musical people in the
world. They talk in poetry, and extern
porization is as easy with them as it
was with the Scalds of old.
The courtship only lasts a week or
two. If the girl is obstinate he goes
elsewhere and seeks to win another girl
by his songs and music. Sometimes the
fathers make up the match, but always
the girl is the obedient slave. Her re-
Ggion, her people, ber national instincts,
the traditions of her ancestors, all teach
her to be the slave of her husband. The
power of life and death is in his hands,
and she bows before his opinions with
the most implicit obedience. 1t is only
when the fair-faced Frank comes, with
his glib talk of woman's higher duties
and grander sphere, with his winning
manner, with his marked respect, SO
1attering to woman's soul, that she
leaves her husband, forsakes the teach
ings of her childhood, gives up home
and friends, and risks death itself, to
repose in his arms. They are as fine
riders as the men, and as fearless. They
ride straddle, and can go almost any dis
tance without fatigue. They are fine
shots, and don't know what personal
fear is.
The women of these people are modest
and far more faithful than the women of

How the Eey of TunIs Lives.
The palaces of the Bey are splen

The palaces of the Bey are splendid and incongruous; the Rardo, an honl from the capital, is fine sample o Oriental architecture and decoration spoiled by Parisian upholstery and vul gar European carpets. Dar-el-Bey, his only town residence, is magnificent anC neglected; his real abode is in a sep arate building, walled, and standing 1T l a garden, near the Bardo. He goes tt the Bardo once @ week, to sit in judg ment on his subjects and receive the Ambassadors and Consuls of the Grea; Powers; and then there is brief stir and the Court presents stately picture Tt is, however, only an external brill fancy, and 1t cannot deceive the visitor as to the misery reigning within th, Moorish Empire" Maholned Els Sa. dock Pacha Bey is an amiabIe enou9 Prince, by all accounts; fond of chi

"None of then. has had himself transported into t]l5 street on death approaching, and there are more than dozen palaces in Tunis to-day which cannot be used by the Beys. A melancholy example of thi; absurd custom is Mahomedia, once tlle magnificent residence of Achmet Bey who had 1t built thirtv-fve years agc at a cost of 10,000,000 francs. Thi. palace, with its secondary building. and villas for ministers and dignitaries was situated two miles out of town ana when Achmet Bey died, the furniture was moved, the floors, glazed tiles doors and windows were broken ou and dragged to another palace.
