Our Native Arabs.

OF all the tyrannies which afaict the
world none is more powerful than the
unacknowledged dread of walters at
hotels. Yet one need not plead power
ty to escape it. It happened once to
a gentleman travelling alone that he
took a single days entertainment at
q Boston hotel. He paid his bill in
the morning without remonstrance
though it was "rather steep" The
fare had been good and he was prepar-
ed for the charge. At the door, as he
was about to emerge, stood four wait
ers. Onehad his portmanteau, anoth-
er his wraps, another his umbrella and
fourth fourished his clothes broom.
He gazed at them till they themselves
were forced to laugh. "Look here, fell
lows" he said, 'tif you think you're
to have quarter apiece you are mis-
taken. lshall only pay a dividend OF
25 per cent. Here's one quarter,
which you may share among YOU =
Without pretense Of poverty this trav-
eler claimed justice.
Nobody wishes to be thought
.smean." But it makes some difference
as to who it is that thinks. A reason
able gratuity for attention is never
amiss, and backsheesh is as useful,
judiciously applied at the door of a
hotel as at the base of the pyramids.
Still one needs to be sure of his Arab
before he applies it.-Philadelphia

Shoddy at Long Branch.

The most quiet people at Long
Branch are those who. have good posi-
lions at home and who have gone
there for the purpose of seekinga rest.
The most exuberant and VIGOROUSLY
conspicuous are those who are OBJ
scure in their own homes. They make
up for this obscurity by becoming
what they consider the stars of the
life at this place. Many are the ex.
pedients employed by these people to
attract attention and achieve the
notoriety SO desired by them in their
brief careers. Not over half of the
elegant equipages seen on Ocean
avenue during an afternoon are owned
by the people driving them. They are
sent down from New York, and hired
by the week or the month OF the sea-
son by dealers who make a speciality
of furnishing snowy and aristocratic
outfits for hire. Liveried coachmen
and footmen are also furnished by
these same dealers. This explains in
many instances the incongruity be-
tween the persons who are driven and
the persons who drive The equipages
are nearly always correct in style and
taste, and the liveries are of the best
cut and make. The coachmen and
footmen often look like younger sons
OF English peers The people who hire
these outfits are not remarkable for
their taste in dress or for their refined
appearance. II they are remarkable
at all it is for the very opposite New
York World.

Improving On His Wife's Method.

Buffalo Courier.
There is in this city young Bene-
dict who is so fortunate as to be we'd
ded to lady Of rare beauty and at
Effectiveness. Now this young Benedict
had in all respects proved a modelhus-
band and had acquitted himself so
faithfully on all occasions that his
wife had confidence in him, and vii
lingly intrusted the most sacred
and important duties to his charge.
So fully, indeed, did she trust
him that on Wednesday last she
started for the country to have a
weeks visit with a friend, and the last
words to him before starting Having
consigned the baby to the tender mer-
cies of the nurse-were: George,
promise to take good care of Fido.
Don't let him Over-eat himself, and
above all, battle him regularly. You'll
find the bath tub in the parlor the
towels are in the linen press and his
comb and brushes are in the left hand
corner Of my right hand bureau draw
er, and the cologne is on the shelf above.
And be sure when you're finished to
wrap him In his blanket and put him
in the sunshine to dry, and if he &C.
catches cold telegraph me-" Sosaying
she printed one last impassioned
kiss on Fido's nose, tearfully
delivered him to her husbands arms,
stepped into the carriage and was gone.
On Thursday and Friday George i'm
plicitly carried out the parting instruc-
lions of his absent wife. He bathed
Fido, cologned Fido, brushed, combed
and dried Fido. But yesterday morn
ing when the scribe passed by their
residence he heard wild yelpings and
ki-yi-ings proceeding from the yard.
Stepping up to the fence he looked
over and saw an unusually fat pug,
now tumbling on the ground, now
turning somersaults in the air and
hantically yelping the while. Some
few yards off stood George with his
hands in his pockets and a smile Of
sweet contentment on his face. He
was bathing Fido. He had chained
him to a post and turned the hose
upon him.

A little story comes from Ell Paso,
Texas, which has a very perceptible
moral. The city has ustgotten new
jail; and the first persons to occupy it
are some parties who monkeyed with
the contracts for the building and un.
dertook to defraud the public out OF
$4,000.
Northern immigration is flowing in
to North Carolina in a small but steady
stream. Most of the new corners are
farmers or mechanics, and the MAORI
ty go to the western part OF the State.
Recently DR.. Clark Whittier purchased
10000 acres of land there, about one
third OF Swain county. He will divide
it into thousand farms OF so acres
each, and settle them with 1000 fam.
lies.
