EASTERN IDLENEss.
Hours and Days Of Sweet 1sposo-A Ha,
cyon Time Of Utter Leisure.

AourB anu Days OF sweet 1epoSo-A AR1.
cyon Time Of Utter Leisure.
From the London Telegraph.
In the East they dedicate small
portion of the year to avowed idreness,
and nothing is then permitted to dis
turb the halcyon of utter leisure. The
doors are shut even to friends. No one
goes in or out. The inmates of the
house are in their fimsiest tissues; they
go uhshod. The hawks sit nodding on
on their perches, the horses are idle in
the stable. The fountain splashes in
the courtyard, and the turtle doves
among the pomegranate trees lull the
garden to sleep with their sultry, slum-
brous cooling. The interval is sacred to
the refreshment Of the body. Gentle
midicines are taken of relaxing and;
blood-cooling kiSd. The hardest ex-
ertion of the day is the bath; It's chief
employment the shampooing of the
limbs with soft scented oils. The ladies
of the household recine with their cith-
aras by the side of their masters couch.
and the slave girl sits at his head
with fan, lest some presumptious
fly should break the pious calm. The
me- ster Of tie house stretches him
selfrat his ease and dozes all the day
through, while the story -te Her drones
away in the corner like humble
bee in a scrape, and the cithara tinkles
| one Of the thin, monotonous airs Of
the East. Now and again he bestirs him
self-a kite shrilling far up in the blue
sky, dog barking far off in the outer
dust has aroused him and he solenmly
cites Allah as witness that the day is
hot, and in the name of the prophet
calls for sherbet of citrons. Such is
the Afghan holiday. Or, turn to Africa,
] where the sun compels idlness for q
long interval of each day, and note how
the barbarian fences with the weather,
Under an awning Of grassmats that Is
| stretched under some deep foliaged
tree, he lies TRANQUILITY accepting the
heat without any reservation. Ont in
the sunshine he sees tha herbag9 SHIN
mering in the refraction, and the
1 shadows of the plants are gathered
close about their roots. So he knows
it is noon, and turns around to slumber
again. The dogs are lying on their
sides in the shadow OF the hut, fast
asleep. From within the kraal there
is not a sound Of life. High up in q
tree barbet is piping the hours, and,
clinging to twig, the shrill voiced
cicada cries all the afternoon through.
But the negro dozes until the evening
breeze comes up and the shadows lay
aslope. The dog is now up on It's
haunches huskily barking at nothing
the chickens are abroad again; the
graas-mats of the huts rustic AS the
women come out, and the sound of food
being prepared awakes the sleeper.
The day is now ct, he says, for human
beings to be busy.

clearly seen, for there scarcely ever was
before such toppling over Of q beau
tiful, logical and rhetorical structure
which Mr.. Crittenden has raised, and
which seemed SO perfect to the eye Of
the me.e observer as to be indestruct
ible.
The jury went ont and returned in q
few minutes with verdict for.the Will,
and in spite OF the orders Of the court
and its officers the audience rose and
bursts in loud shouts of exultation. 1t
was impossible to restrain the people.
It was the reaction OF the mind from a
painful state OF doubt and apprehension
i'm reference to the success of q man
whom they almost adored, to that Of q
thrilling Joy at a grand result. 1t may
be said that this demonstration was
clearly co-incident with the feelings of
the court, as no one was committed TO,
contempt.

Pathetic.

Years ago, when Gen. Ward sB. Bur-
nett returned from Mexico at the head
of his victorious troops, thousands
greeted him with approving shouts. As
he passed through Troy, N. Y, the
school-children met him in procession
and showered flowers before his horses
feet The other day, at the age Of
seventy four, he passed away in obscur-
ity, sickness and poverty, dying in an
humble lodging at Washington, al
most unknown by his neighbors and
forgotten by the world. The Capital
tells q pathetic story associated with his
death.
A touching little incident connected
with the celebrated case pending be.
fore the congress, regarding the re-
duction of fifty dollars per month from
the pension allowed by government to
the late Gen. Ward B. Burnett, for gall
liant services rendered his country, oc-
Cured on the day of his death.
The congressional committee were
seated in their room discussing the case,
hotly arguing for and against the brave
old soldier, whether or not to re-
store the special pension, which to them
personally could mean SO little but to
him was fraught with such weighty in
terest. i3'333ss
Suddenly they were startled BY the
unexpected entrance Of Mrs. Burnett.
Gazing around for an instant with 1
dazed, sorrowful air, she advanced d step
nearer, saying grayely, with wondrous
pathos in her voice 33s1s iss3
Gentlemen, you can fYht him no
longer; he is gone.
Then the brave hearted wife burst
into tears. In the silence which fol-
lowed. one or two d the cCMmittet
moved uneasily or coughed to hide
the emotion that could hardly be re-
strained.

The BLAINE-sENTlNEL SUIT.
Comment on Its Dismissal by the Maine

Comment on Its Dismissal by the Maine
Statesman.
CHICAGO, Dec 1S.-The Inter Oceans
indianapolis special, with regard to the dis
missal by bir. Blaine of his suit against The
Seminal says:
While the result was not expected, the dis
missal created ripple in political Circles as
soon ais it became known that it had been
filed The Demucrats-especiaily The Sentinel
folks-did not endeavor to conceal Their
pleasure at the outcome, but united i'll say
ing: II told you 50, we knew the case would
never come To trial" The Republicans, on
the other hand, those who read Mr. Blaine's
letter, regarded the reasons given as suf-
ticient to warrant the di5missalM And seemed
to think he could not afford to continue the
litigation, which promised to prove INTERIM
Unable. Some of them admit that the be
ginning Of the suit was mistake on his
part, although they do not see that his
action lost the party any votes in Indiana.
Immedia tely after William Walter Phelps
letter was given publicity, with the details
of the Kentucky marriage the opinion was
privately expressed by learned lawyers that
the case could not be successfully prose
cutef, for while they believed that The
Sentinel article in part was an atrocious
libel, they readily saw that the irregularities
OF the union, according to the plaintiff /. own
statement, would be sufficient to confuse a
jury, and render it almost inlpossihle for
them to find verdict in Biaine's favor.
The better element of the DemoCracy-de-
spite Mr.. Blaine's assertion that none could
be found to take sides against the party
organ--have freely expressed their disap
proval of The Sentinel's course

PITTsBURG, Dec. 1S-"We won't pay 8
cents bushel for mining coal on the river :"
This was the sign which hung from the
outer walls Of the coal exchange Wednes-
day afternoon. The operators, al
most without exception, were of the
same mind, and all who were spoken to viii
close down their mines ON Monday if the
miners insist that they shalt be paid 8 cents
II think the demand of the river miners for
cents in the first, second and third
pools, and pa in the fourth pool, is
simply suicidal on their part" said L.
n. Bunton, of Joseph Walton s. Co.
"Our works will close down on Monday if the
men maintain their position. The margins
are close enough now. We cannot afford to
stand another shade" He further stated
that the miners could average S3.06 per day;
that last summer they were idle the greater
portion of the time and they were not pre-
pared to stand strike, which would be
criminal as affairs stood
