The Laugh on the Men in the Cab

From the Dry Goods Chroncle.I
Some years ago four merchant cred
itors from an Eastern city started IN
the same train of cars for the purpose
of attaching the property OF a certain
debtor in an interior town. He owed
each one separately, and they each
were suspicious of the object OF the
other, bat did not dare say @ word
about it, although they were all &C.
quainted. When they arrived at the
from where the debtor did business,
they found but solitary cab, to
which all rushed. Threegot in and re-
fused admittance to the fourth, and
the cab started. The fourth ran after
and got upon the outside with the
driver. He asked the driver If he
wanted to sell his horse. He replied
that he did not want to; that he was
not worth more than $50, but he
would not sell him for that. He asked
him If he would take 500 for him.
eyes," said Jehu. The fourth man
quickly paid over the money. took the
reins and backed the cab up against q
bank, slipped it from the harness, and
tipped it up SO that the door could
not be readily opened, jumped upon
the horses back and rode off at a
quick lope, while the insiders we're gaz-
ing out of the window. He rode to a
lawyer and got writ made out and
served and his debt secured, and got
back to the hotel just as the ''insiders"
came up putting and blowing. The
cabman soon bought back his horse
for $50. The "sold men" offered to
pay that sum if thefortunate one, who
found the property sufficient to pay
his debt, would not "let on'' about the
affair at home.

bit, upon which he always rides, until
one wonders how the wretched brute
can put his feet SAFELY down; yet he
does, somehow. No one rides camels
in this country, but the Sultan is said
to have some very fleet dromedaries,
capable of doing marvellous journeys;
and, of course, in those parts of Mo-
rocco which merge into the Sahara the
camel is Indispensable. The Barbary
donkey is ashort-legged, long suffering,
indispensable beast. It is easy to
comprehend the ass existing withot
Tangier, but it is impossible to con-
ceive Tangier existing without the ass.
His patient little body bears every
possible burden, from the foreign min
ister's wife, for example, who sits upon
the pack with great dignity, and, pre-
coded by her Moorish soldier, pays
calls upon other minister's wives, to
the latest things in iron bedsteads to
be sold in the public market.

Blasting in Coal Mines.

An official report by English com
missioners on the new method Oh
blasting without powder, by means Of
lime cartridges, expresses the opinion,
as the result of close observation as
well as of frequent inquiries and exper-
iments, that, for coal getting, the new
lime process can be, to a large extent,
substituted for that Of powder, and
that it's employment secures compare
tive immunity from danger, and is un-
attended by any important practical
difficulties. The plan has been sub
jected to trial in many OF the most i'm
portant mining districts, and proved
itself capable of competing, and even
advantageously in point of economy,
with powder-in many descriptions OF
eoal-the working being such as to al
low of several charges being applied at
one time. It is not claimed that this
lime-cartridge system affords the
means of dispensing with theus of ex-
plosives or of specially powerful me-
chanical appliances in the removal OF
stone, or even in some hard coal, Or IN
connection with certain methods OF
working underground.

The Arab Soldier.
IFrom the Cornhill Magazine

From the COrnhiH Magazine
The Arab looks very well on horse
back, though he might not altogether
suit the taste of the shires. His sad
die is generally red, peaked before and
behind. and placed upon several col
ored felt saddle cloths; the stirrup
broadens out SO as to give a wide
space for the foot to rest on; it is
pointed at the corners. thereby ena-
bling the rider to tear the horses ribs
even without the aid of a pointed
stick or steel spear-like spur which
he often pushes between his slipper and
the stirrup side. The Arab soldier,
with his white burnous futtering be-
hind him, his high red saddle and sad
dle-clothes, his knees high and body
bent forward, with his long silver
mounted gun fourishing in the air,
looks, as he gallops forward in q cloud
of dust, the very embodiment of the
picturesque, exultant war spirit of
past ages, not sobered down by scien-
tifc formulas for murder, but free to
carry out his own blood-thirsty pur-
poses with as much swagger and osten-
tation as possible. AS q horseman,
believe the Arab to have an excellent
seat but an execrable hand; he loves
to keep his beasts head high in the
air, and so heceaselessly joggles at the

A PRAYER.
BY DELL NoBLIT.

What have done in early days
To meet thy disapproval9
Dear Lord whatever it may be
I pray for it's removal
What have [ done in later years
That merits condemnation
Remove it, Lord, and give to me
Thy kindly appreciation.
What means this veil that hides the face
OF my beloved Master,
Hedges me in on every side,
And brings untold disaster?
Is it the aforementioned sins
/ have so oft committed?
Though have prayed for pardo1nng grace,
Am still unacquittedY
Forgive il Thou canst not forget,

Whether they be of slightest tlnge,
Or of the deepest color.
/ pray that Thou wilt safely keep
NV wayward feet from straylng,
And grant that may ever be
Thy righteous law obeying.

INCONSISTENCY.

You said you soon would come again,
To the meadow stile, our trysting place,
That you would harbor me from pain
And keep the roses on my face.
Love, is't not SO?
The roses on my cheek have fled
Can this be, love, Inconsistency?
And lilies lie there now instead
They say that thou forgettest me-
Oh love, say no.

OUR NAVY.
The Form of Contract for Construction of
Ships to be Exhibited to Bidders.
WAsHINGToN, Nov. 10.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.
The secretary of the navy has determined
that all bidders for construction of new ships
shall be entitled to see, before bidding, form
of the contract which they are expected to
enter into, so that there shall be no question
as to the obligations which contractors are
expected to assume. The form is today made
public TO all expected bidders.
Important changes from the former con-
tracts are made with reference to machinery.
The form of contract, as fixed by the
secretary, provides that contract
ors shall guarantee for three large
cruisers of 300 tons, 1000 tons and 1900
tons, 1000, 5000 and 1000 indicated horse
power respectively. This is nearly twice the
power per ton of the displacement calculated
for the Roach cruisers. 1t also provides that
every unit of horse power attained above
these guaranteed amounts the contractor
shall be paid premium of 500 and for
every unite of horse power less than the
guaranteed amount penalty of 500 shall
be imposed and if the indicated horse power
falls in any case thousand below the guar
anteed amount the ship shall not be accepted.
This, the secretary says, places the large
sum at stake with the contractor to produce
the greatest results.
