The Arab Soldier.

The Arab looks very well on horse
back, though he might not altogether
suit the taste OF the shires. His saddle
is generally red, peaked before and be-
hind, and placed upon several colored
felt saddle cloths; the stirrup broadens
out so as to give wide space for the
foot to rest on; it is pointed at the cor
ners. thereby enabling the rider to tear
the horse ribs even without the aid of
a pointed stick or steel spear-like spur
which he often pushes in between his
slipper and the stirrup side. The Arab
soldier, with his white burnous futter-
ing behind him, his high red saddle
and saddle cloths, his knees high and
body bent forward, with his long silver
mounted gun flourishing in the air,
looks, as he gallops forward in cloud
of dust the very embodiment of the
picturesque, exultant war spirit of past
ages, not sobered down by scientific
formulas for murder, but free to carry
out his own bloodthirsty purposes with
as much swagger and ostentation as
possible. As 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 he
ceaselessly joggles at the bit, upon
which he always rides until one won
ders 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 mar
velous journeys, and, of course, in those
parts of Morocco which merge into the
Sahara the camel is indispensable. The
Barbary donkey is short-legged, long
suffering, indispensable beast 1t is
easy to comprehend the ass existing
without Tangier, but it is impossible to
conceive Tangier existing without the
ass; his patient little body bears every
possible burden, from the foreign Minis
ter's wife, for example, who sits upon
the pack with great dignity, and, pre-
coded by her Moorish soldier, pays calls
upon other Ministers wives, to the latest
thing in iron bedsteads to be sold in the
public market.-1he Cornhit Magazine.

Bad Yankee Customs.

An English tourist relates some of his
American experiences in the New York
Herald: My wife and stayed at a
prominent hotel in'New York, taking
high-priced rooms, and noticed after
two or three days that we were kept
waiting long time for each meal; that
we were always being served by
strange waiter; that we were made to
sit at any and every part of the room,
and seldom at an unoccupied table,
badly served. kept waiting long time
between each course, were given stale
or Indifferent Strawberries and milk
much watered, while others were serv-
ed at once, always had the same waiter
and table, were never kept waiting, and
had their straw berries fresh and served
with good cream. applied to friend
whom | made after my arrival here and
told him how matters were. ''Ahr'
said he, "havc you given the head
waiter who seats the guests a dollar?n
mo- | replied. II understood lips were
not usual in this country; besides it is
my custom, if waiter is obliging, to
give him a gratuity. on leaving the
hotel" ''Oh, that won't do here was
his answer; you must give your dollar
first and then you will find all viii be
right" !
So acted on his advice, and found
that the effect of this dollar lasted for
about q month; then it began to wane
and another was expected, Now, this
compares very unfavorably with the
tipping system in England, which
have heard Americans decry so vehe-
mently, and ! admit justly, A head
waiter at q London hotel would have
been content with shilling given on
my leaving in return for any attentions
he might have shown me.
At Chicago the same system was
practiced upon me in a worse degree. |
was positively denied food that l order
ed, and told ''they were out of it," when
others who had entered the room after
me were served with the very things that

Nor THE COOP SHEPPARD.-Charles
Sheppard, aged about % years, a son of
Isaac Sheppard, was arrested Saturday
morning and brought to Lancaster by
Deputy johnson on complaint of Thorn
as Grimes. The complaint charges that
"Charles Sheppard did, on the 14th day
of November, in the town of Beetown,
in Grant County, disturb an assembly,
met there for religious purposes, by
quarreling with one of the trustees of
the church when the said trustee de-
manded peace and order, and did then
and there use loud and boisterous lam
guage with intent TO disturb said meet
ing Section 1897 of the Revised Stat
utes provides Ill such cases that the
convicted shall be fined not more than
$50. nor less than S.. The meeting
said to be disturbed was in progress in
the eolored settlement five miles west
of here, where number of young men
raised something of disturbance outside
at the window by whistling and bolster
Gus laughter Mr.. Crimes went outside
and requested the boys to keep quiet.
Thay had moved across the road when
the trustee came out, and it was then
that Charles Sheppard made loud and
angry responses, such as, go in and
mind your own business! I'm as good
as you or anybody insiden' Sheppard
claims that ii was not he who whistled
and made the noise, and that he replied
to Mr.. Grimes only as any other man
would have replied under the circum-
stances. The case was called before
Justice Geo. B. Wheeler; but the defen-
dant took it before Justice t. Z. Bald
win on change of venue. John Arthur
appeared for the church and Ed. M.
Lowry for the defendant. The case
was continued to Friday, Nov. &c, at 9
O'Clock a. ". The usually quiet little
settlement is considerably wrought up
over the affair.

ALMOST A CONFEDERATION y lester
day morning the house of Ira Fox, in
Bloomington, took fire in the attic of
the kitchen, from stoye-pipe passing
through. The fire was quickly dis
covered and some of the neighbors
were promptly on hand to assist in
putting it out. If the fire had got a
little more Roadway it would soon have
destroyed the building, whichis large
frame, and perhaps have communicated
to neighboring houses. As it was it
burned quite hole in the roof. This is
about as much damage as has ever
been done by fire in Bloomington dur
ing its thirty years or more of exist
enee as a Villages remarkable record.

TWAS THE SMALL BoYs.-Since tn

IT WAS THE SMALL BoYs.-Since the
factory fire item appeared in our last
issue, it has come to light that the
matches were seen in the basement
some three weeks ago; and that James
Presho saw several boys playing with
matches under the factory platform
some time ago. This straightens out
the incendiary part of the performance,
but what is there to prevent first-class

keep companyP Let us caress our

Laconics.

Brief was an epistle of Emile de
Girardin to his second wife, with whom
he lived on most unfriendly terms. The
house was large enough to permit them
to dwell entirely separate from one an
other. One day Nine. Girardin had an
important communication to make to
her husband. Taking small sheet of
paper she wrote: ''The Boudoir to the
Library: Would like to go to Switzer-
land" NJ de Girardin, Initiating her
concise style, responded: The Library
to the Boudoir: Co." That was all.
One of the most laconic wills on record
ran thus: Il have nothing; | owe a
great deal-the rest give to the poor"

Plenty of Fuel.

The Berlin AanaEen fur Ge,Oerbe ind
BattaCeSeis publish some interesting
statements regarding European coal
fields still unexhausted, and add esti-
mates of the probable duration of their
supply.
In Great Britain the chief coal dis
tricts-namely: Newcastle, South Wales,
and the Clyde country, yield about hun
bred and seventy million tons per year.
Taking last years consumption as rep
resenting the average annual consump-
ton for many years to come, the journal
named estimates that the British coal
mines will not be exhausted in less than
from 600 to 800 years.
In Germany the coal industry is more
favored than in any other country of
Europe. 1t is calculated that drawing
upon only one of her fields-to wit: the
Westphalian-Germany will not be able
to exhaust her coal supply in less than
thousand years. She has, in addition,
the riches of the Bavarian, the Aachen,
and the Silesian coal districts.
1t is thus evident that Great Britain
and Germany alone-to say nothing of
France, Austria. Denmark, Russia,
Sweden. and Italy-are able to supply
Europe with coal for a period which
makes all speculation about the coming
exhaustion OF the coal supply, to say the
least, highly premature.
To suppose, moreover, that thou
sand years hence the industrial opera
tons of the world will be still depend
ing upon the coal supply is to put even
less faith in the resources and the
future of science than would have been
reposed in them by man predicting in
the days of primitive writing the in
eYitable exhaustion of bark.
