DEsI.oE, March 25.-[Speclsl. ] -Qlite a
stir was created here to-day about tele-
phone pole and legal question raised
which will have to be settled judiciously.
]. L Saeeper was having laid in front OF
his new hotel building al artificial stone
walk. :. He found that a telephone pole
stood Immediately in the curb line and or
dered 1t removed. The telephone superin-
tendent had the negroes who
were doing the work twice
arrested. Eventually Mr.. Sreeper was
arrested by the city marshal and was
being taken to the cslaboose, when the city
attorney ordered his release, saying there
was no of1ense committed against nuY law.
The pole was eventually removed, but the
city council then convened la special ses-
sion and rspriRanded the marshal for not
confirming Streeper, and also the attorney
for ordering Sueeper's release, and then
prenied permission To Sueeper to remove
the pole which interfered with the erecting
Of ths awning aud balcony. The case mas
been put into court ard Streeper
will sue for false arrest The
telephone company have never been
granted any special privileges bv the city
and claim to be protected by the statutes
relating TO Telegraph poles, OF which the
consiiiutionaiity Is denied by many law
yers. Much ill-ieeling has been crentsd,
as Streeper il an old and hon"red citizen
and has done much to improve the city,
white the telephone company has only
taken many from u city.

A City of the S0udln.

Kassala is in almost the same degree
of latitude as Khartoum, and lies about
half way between that place and Masso-
wah on the Red Sea coast. 1t is de-
scribed by Mr.. James, in his "Wild
Trihoa of tho Snudan." as the largest
town in the Egyptian Soudan after
Khartoum, and the population is estima-
ted at $4,000, besides the considerable
garrison, which have to be relieved or
abandoned. at is a walled town, and
presents a very animated appearance
every morning, when crowds of people,
men and women, resort to large open
space, where they hold a Market;
sitting, many of them, under rough
booths formed of mating, supported
on poles, as some small protection
az inst the fierce rays of the tropical
sun. Here they sell various kinds of
food, cooked and uncooked. beads, gum,
pepper, beans, mats, etc. The province
in which it is situated is one Of the rich
est in the Soudan. The country round
the town is very fertile. and a certain
amount of cotton is grown, besides
onions, which are very large and mild,
and somewhat resemble those grown in
Spain. Tomatoes also thrive well, and
various nondescript vegetables are cul
tivated. For some miles up and down
the Cash there arc number OF SAX
lyehs, or water-wheels of the same
kind used so much in Egypt. BY their
means a plentiful supply of water is
obtained. Anything would grow here
as the soil is rich; but the people are
very lazy and unenterprising, and al
they care about is to produce enough
for their absolute necessities. They dc
not attempt to grow anything new"

ent, blackened faces were almost the
rule, and every other native woman
mad her face coated with a mixture of
seal oil and SCOT. 1t gives them a wild
strange look, and they giggle in the
silliest way when one points to them.
The old theories that they wore it as
a sign Of mourning, because they were
angry or rejoiced, or penitent, are ex-
ploded now, and it is known that it is
simply protection against the gnats
and mosquitoes on land, and to keep
their faces from burning when out in
their canoes. 1t is an excellent cos
metic for the women, keeping their
complexion soft and smooth, and when
they wash it off on grand occasions
their faces are as creamy white as the
fairest of their japanese sisters. A
group of these blackamoors made a
picture as they sat inside cabin door
weaving their pretty baskets of the
fine inside bark and roots of the cedar.

LADIES' DEPART MENT.
Dunipy Women.

Women, especially those of the up
per classes, who are not obliged to keep
themselves in condition by work, lose
after middle age, sometimes earlier, a
considerable amount of their height,
not by STOPPING, as men do, but by ac-
tnal collapse, sinking down-mainly
to be attributed to the pcrishing OF the
muscles that support the frame, in
consequence of habitual and constant
pressure of stays and dependence oil
the artificial support by them afforded
Every girl who wears stays that press
upon these muscles and restrict the
free development of the iibres that
form them, relieving them of their ma
tural duties of supporting the spine,
indeed incapacitating them from sc
doing may feel sure she is preparing
herself to be dumpy woman.

Ernest Won IIesse- Wartegg, the
correspondent of the Sun at Tangier,
mentions number of curious Moorish
Gus oms: "To honor person" he says,
1.-THE European arises and removes his
hat; the Mussulman remains seated
with his head covered. When enter
ing place of worship or house, in
stead Of removing his hat, the Mussul-
man takes off his shoes and leaves them
outside the door. We consider the
right side as tho place Of honor: the
Moor the left. When inviting a friend
to enter his house the Moor steps in
first and let's his guest follow him. ks
sing the hand is sign of respect with
us; the Moor, when saluting, kisses hi
own hand. 1t would not be very dig
niied for European king to carry ar
open umbrella when in kingly attire; iI
Morocco the umbrella is the emblem o
imperial majesty, and no one else is per
mitted to carry one. All this is only ;
matter of custom. There are man,
habits, however, which would never b.
