The Influence Of Arabic Civilization On

We find the following statement in an article
on Arabia THE literature, arts and sciences OF
the Arabs formed the connecting link betwccr
! the civilization of ancient and modern times
and the culture which they introduced into the
countries thcy conquered has, in almost every
| instance. outla>tcd the rule of the conqueror>
themselves. 70 them, directly and indirectly
! we owe the revival Of learning and philosophy
| in Western Europe. and the first awakening of
the critical and inquiring spirit that has. in a
! great measure, rescued Europe from the leth-
argy of moMki>h ignorance and ecclesiastical
higotry; to Them also, at least indirectly and by
| deductiom. are due most of tie useful arts and
practical inventions Iaborouslv perfected by
ltter nations. such a statement surprises us
\ perhaps, and at any rate awakens in lis a desire
to study the subject further. to inquire concern
ING the truth Of the statement, and if we find
il true TO ask how and why it was that the in

The Arabs Of the early centuries of the Chris

Sidney Bartlett, LII. d., of Boston, was 80
years Old Feb. 10, and is still in the active
practice of the law The wonderful preserva-
ton of Mr.. Glad-tone's powers has often eX-
cited comment. Yet Mr. BARTLETT who is 10
years the senior of The great English statesman,
is arguing complicated eases with the same
great ease and ucidty as in former years 1t
is said that Mr.. Bartlett has a yearly practice
of 100000. An amusing anecdote illustrative
Of Mr.. Bartett's quckness in repartce is told
in regard to retort courteous which he a(i-
nlinstercd to Justice Horace Gray, now of the
United States Supreme Court. ''Mr. BARTLETT
said the Judge one afternoon. throwing himself
back in his chair, ''that is not law and it never
was law" Mr.. Bartlett smiled and, looking
over the Bench, said at was law, -FOUR Honor,
until Your Honor just spoke"

The PAll Mall Gazcttt, a Lonion evening
newspaper, does not share ii thu praises the
British press generally ha~ >hoNtred upon
Minister Phelps, and sharply critici>e> the eX-
traorIinary honors paid him prior 10 his de-
parture for America. OF Mr. Phelps it says ::
lie i, 4 commonplace sort of diplomati>t
who has done his work in an average kind of a
way. He suffered the immense disadvantage of
coming after man of genius. but he has got
through his business respectfully enough on the
whole We lade him welcome ami we bid
him farewell without emotion ana without re-
gret. He has deserved the ordinary courteseS
of English society. and the usual tributes of
English public bodies. no more and no less"
The Gazette then proceeds to Say that. Nil.
Phelps is being feted ana fea>ted and over
whemed with food of tlattory and gu-h far
in excess of the Dormal allowance" and it
asks, "Why| 1t give~ this Illustration of the
feeling in the Diplomatic Corps and the world
outside which they represent: John Bull
they say ''ha, had his nose pulled by the
Americans. Therefore he is ,ayering over the
American minister" The Gazette endorses
this view, and saws: "There was no reason to
make fuss about Mr.. Phelps. 1t would have
been outragcou>ly silly to have given him his
passports. but is it quite wise to give Mrs.
Phelps a bracelet" The Sackviile incident
the Gazette thinks, should have been allowed
to pass unnoticed.
