Some years ago, while living in West

pied q house surrounded by several
acres Of fine pasture land. The supe-
rior grass in this preserve was . great

whenever the gates were open trespass
was common. My servants did their
best to drive of intruders, but one day
they came to me rather troubled, stat
ing that Brahmin bull which they had
beaten had fallen down dead. 1t may
be remarked that these bulls are sacred
and privileged animals, being allowed
to roam at large and eat whatever they
may fancy in the open shops Of the
bazaar men. On hearing that the tres
passer was dead immediately went to

that the bull was on his feet again and
quietly grazing. Suffice II to say that
the brute had acquired the trick Of
feigning death, which practically rvn-
dered its expulsion impossible. when il
found itself in desirable situation
which II did not wish TO quit. She

The "body-catchers occasionally make
a mistake, however. One day last week =
modest little woman, plainly dressed in
black, passed the Milliners' row on her
way to the Chatham Square Station. The
first "puller-in" she came across an
preached her . little cautiously, and met
with no response. The second, emboldened
BY the Others failure, became triGe more
attentive, while No. 5 grasped her by The
arm and nearly forced her inside the door.
The woman became frightened, and ran
back down the street. Meeting an Officer
. few blocks away. she complained to him,
next morning the stranger appeared
agaist her, and the "bcdy catcher was
fined ten dollars for disturbing the peace.
This was . rare exception, however, as. in
most cases, persons will mot take tho

An Arab Girl RANGES with n
Lighted Candle OH Her Head.
The Arab quarter of Port Said, on the
Suez canal, consists at present of booths
and wooden huts, and the bazars possess
for experienced travellers little interest or
picturesqueness. In one of them, however,
we found a native cafe, where two Ghawazi
girls were languidly dancing before the
usual audience of low-clasS Arabs and con-
nOiSSeurS. writes a correspondent OF the
Rochester Herald.
One clad in scarlet was a novice of no
skill; the other. graceful and clever. with
handsome face of tine old Egyptian type.
worn hard and marked for life by vice, was
prettiiy dressed in vide trousers of purple
and gold. a spangled jacket and head dress

Asked if she could perform for us the
balance dance. SHE consented 10 exhibit
that well-kn0Wn Egyptian pas for the mod
est consideration Of two francs and bottle
of English beer The cork of this contri-
button being drawn. a lighted candle was
fixed in the neck of the bottle. which was
then placed upon the crown OF her black
and glossy little head. A calpet was

and the measured beat of the mus Clans:
Il am black, out it is the sum of thy love
W hich has searched me! Send lie some
ia in of hep flOm Thy pity. l AIN thirsting
for thee.
The Gnawazi began with Arabic words
of this tenor, kreping exact time to her
strain with foot and hand aud the tremors
of her thrilling slender frame; now slowly
! turning round, now softly advancing and
i receding. now claSping her hands across
her bosom or pressing them 10 her fore

Long Lines Militant.

The Transcontinental lines are at logger
heads and refuse to be reconciled. An
effort has recently been made to get meet
ing of the managers of the various roads in
terested in the old Transcontinental assoc-
alton and the managers of the Canadian
Pacific railway, but the attempt will prob
ably fall to the ground without effect. The
object of the meeting would be to end the
present disastrous war on Pacific coast
rates and to effect reorganization of the
association. The Canadian Pacific is
anxious to get all the business it can since
it runs through new country that must be
populated before it can expect to become
profitable piece of property, and is ready
to enter any agreement, for at the same
rates the people bound for the
Pacific coast, would for convenience
sake, overlook this line and take southern
road. The Canadian Pacific to catch the
travel must offer some extra inducements to
to the people. The Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fee road will not attend the meeting
as there is a fight on between the Southern
Pacific line and the Pacific Mail Steamship
company. and until it is settled it will do no
good to organize an association as it would
be impossible to maintain rates.
The Canadian Pacific is generally consid-
cred to be in the field for the purpose of
fighting and it is not believed that it would
join pool on pacific coast business under
any circumstances.
The lines between Chicago and the Mis-
souri, river and st. Paul, interested in Pa
cifc coast traffic. will hold meeting in
Chicago next week, to take some steps
towards stopping the decentralization in rates
on California business, from the Chicago
territory. The Pacific Coast association
agreement cannot be carried out because
some of the new lines between Chicago and
st. Paul are not parties to it, and the latter
are said to be operating with the ST. Paul q
Manitob and the Canadian Pacific on the
cut rates. If the new st. Paul lines refuse
to join the Pacific Coast association. there
is little hope of bringing about restoration
of rates to the Pacific coast from Chicago.
If they do consent however, it is the inten-
ton to charge arbitrary rates on such busi-
ness between Chicago and the Missouri river
and ChipagO and ST Paul.
