A Crescent CITY PeddIer.

New Orleans Cor. Courier-Journall
One of the most curious little scenes
which have witnessed here came in my
vision this morning at breakfast in a
French restaurant. A peddler came in
trying to Sell little folder of photo
graphic views of the city. He tried sew
eral of the Guests in vain. and finally he
began to work the racket on waiter.
The waiter was on his way to the kitchen
with an armful of dishes, but he stopped,
and in the middle of the dining room he
and the peddler discussed the merits of
the picture at some length Finally he
set the dishes down and got out his money
to pay the peddler. Having purchased
the book of views he called another waiter
and showed it to him, and the two dis
cussed the artistic merits of the views
Finally the waiter carried his purchase
to the proprietor who examined it with a
great deal of interest, while the waiter re-
turned, got his dishes off the table where
he had placed them, and took the in to
the cook.
The whole transaction occupied perhaps
fifteen minutes. The peddler tried the
rest of the guests, but made no other sale.
He carried his goods in his pockets and
had number of other things-pen- knives
and such like-which he would take out
one at a time and try to sell. l had to
laugh finally at the absurdity of the thing,
and he rebuked me with q very polite afr,
gave me lecture on good breeding, and
went away the picture of injured in
nocence

A man may eat and drink heartily all
day and sit and lounge about doing
nothing, in one sense of the word; but his
body must keep hard at work all the time
or it will die Suppose the stomach re
fused to work within ten minutes after
hearty dinner, the man would die of con
vulsions in a few hours; or cholera or
cramp- collie would rack and wreck him.
Surprising the pores of the skin--meaning
thereby the glandular apparatus with
which they are connected-should go on
strike, " he would in an hour be burn
ing up with fever; oppression would
weigh upon the system, and soon become
insupportable Suppose the liver became
mulish, the appetite would be annihilated,
food would be loathed torturing pains
would invade the small of the back, and
the head would ache to bursting
Suppose the kidneys shut up shop, dan
ger most imminent, sufferings unbeara-
able, and death more certain, would be
the speedy and unenviable result If the
little workshops Of the eye should close,
in an hour he could not shut nor open
them without physical force, and in an
other hour he would be blind or if those
of the tongue should close. it would be-
come dry as bone and stiff as steel. To
keep such a complication of machinery
in working order for a lifetime is a mira
Gle of wisdom; but to work them by the
pleasures of eating and drinking is mir
acle of beneicence.

a Dervish's Rules for Living.

a recent traveller gives the following as
some of the rules for living held by the
modern dervishes. which somewhat upsets
the popular idea of dervish: BE kind
to those below you in life; do not criticize
the faults of others; if you see them con-
ceal them; if you cannot do this with
your hand, do so with your skirts. your
tongue, and your heart A day will come
when nothing will benefit you; neither
family nor wealth; nothing except sub
mission to God with pure heart.

The Marine Band furnished the music

purity of the ballot was the principal
theme OF his discourse. lie de-
clared that every national cleo
ton since 1865 had been tainted
with fraud and terrorism, and
asserted that last year, by unlawful
combination and fraud, Grover Cleve-
land had been elected President OF the
United States, when, if there had been
a fair vote and fair count J. q. Blaine
would have been elected. The speaker
dwelt at some length on the recent cleo
tons in Ohio, and charged the Demo
Gratis with perpetrating gross frauds

believed that Congress should pass .

of members Of Congress and presi-
Dental electors. and if such q measure
failed to protect the negroes in their
right of suffrage, then the Republican
party would take care that southern

which already runs high, daily grows
more bitter. The Marquis Of Lorne,

went down to Brentford, town seven
miles west Of London. to deliver cam
paign speech, and while addressing the
electors a mob assaulted him with rot
ten eggs, and, some of them gaining
the platform, smashed his hat over
his head. The supporters Of the Mar
quis rushed to his rescue and a
fight ensued. The noble Lord now be
came so thoroughly frightened that he
hastily departed from the scene and ran

The somsng Contest in England.


LONDON, October 24.--In British
politics matters have been extremely
dull. Both parties seem to have be-
come wearied Of the tame public utter
ances Of the minor leaders and to have
fallen into a state of indifference. This
may continue for fortnight. Prime
Minister Salisbury will make q
political address at the Mansion
House banquet in the second week
in November, and Dir. Gladstone will
Immediately follow him with two or
three campaign speeches in Scotland.
These orations will revive the tagged
campaign, which, it is thought. will
thereafter be very lively and exciting.
Matters abroad have, however, become
exceedingly interesting. The situation
in the Balkan States is critical, and is
engaging the attention Of all European
statesmen. The majority Of them fear
that unless speedy settlement Of the
imbroglio raised by Prince Alexander
be effected the great Powers will be
drawn into y dangerous clash by their
conflicting interests.

Reports reached here last night from
Claredon, Donley county, and other
points up in the Panhandle, OF the
most devastating prairie fires ever
known in this State. 1t is believed
that the number Of acres burned over
will approach 100000. The country
in which the fires are raging extends
from the Canadian river one hundred
miles south. II is impossible as yet to
give an idea Of individual losses.
In some Of the places the cowboys
were obliged to ride into the lakes to
save themselves.
Judge Brown, of Claredon, was Sc
verely burned while endeavoring to
save his summer crop of millet. which
was destroyed. Fully one fourth Of
his ranch was also destroyed.
