PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA.

1t Is Incumbent on All Good Moslems to
Perform 1t Once At Least.
Every year thousands upon thou
sands of pious believers in the name
of Mohammed desert their homesteads
and wend their way, both by land and
by sea. toward the country that saw
the birth of their religion and wit
messed the miraculous deeds of their
arch-prophet. From China, India and
Persia; from every quarter of the
Turkish Empire; from Egypt, Tripoli
Tunis, Algiers and Morocco; from
Zanzibar and Senegal; from Kurdistan
and Afghanistan; from the Sou6an
and the great Sahara, and from many
other places whose existence we Euro
peans are but dimly conscious of,
they throng-mostly poor, ignorant
and dirty, but devout and deter
mined in their purpose. They are
pilgrims to the holy cities of Arabia,
Mecca and Medina, and to reach them
they starve themselves for years to
save up sufficient money to defray their
expenses and endure horrible priva-
lions by the way. They commit them
selves to the mercies of the vast and
awe-inspiring sea, dreaded by all true
Easterns- They risk being robbed by
the BedOuins Or killed by the heat
and all with an amount of phlegm and
good humor that is almost sublime
Whatever happens to them they care
not God will provide for them, and
should they die on their way out they
will be received all the more readily

when all the pilgrims have to unite
in worship at Mecca, took place
ON Friday, August IL. It usual

the exact date varies. and is fixed an
nually by the religious authorities
at Mecca It is incumbent on all good
Moslems to perform this pilgrimage at
least once, If they can afford it. Many
perform it several times and some
make business of it and hire them
selves out as substitutes for others. for
pilgrimage by proxy is considered to
be as effective as one performed in per-
son. provided that the person in whose
behalf it is performed be dead. No
one can hire a substitute during his

PRIVILEGES OF PEERS.

Modern NOblemeD Have More Privileges
In Theory Than In Reality.
Theoretically peer has many priv
ileges; practically he has very few.
The word peer must be understood to
include Dukes. Marquises, Earls. Wis
counts and Barons; though it is gen.
orally understood to include all per-
sons entitled to the prefix of Duke or
Lord. In common parlance. these are
the two prefixes of English nobility.
The title of the present Prime Minis
ter is the Marquis of Salisbury, but
nine times out of ten he is referred to
as Lord Salisbury. That nobleman's
old rival. the Earl of Derby. is gem
orally spoken of as Lord Derby, and
for every man who speaks of Viscount
WOlseley there are at least q score
who apply to the hero of Tel ell
keber the shorter and moro popular
prefix Lord" Lord Tennyson is fire.
quently spoken OF, but the poet laureate
is really Baron and his correct title,
to be punctiiiously accurate is Alfred,
Baron Tennyson. In other words, all
most every peer with lower prestige
than Duke is Familiarity spoken of
as lord" q striking evidence of the
growing carelessness of the public as
to titles; and it is needless to add that
peers themselves are much too jealous
OF their privileges and titles to be
guilty of such disregard of discrim-
ination.
The only persons who. to be strictly
according to Burke. should be adj

pause for breath, and Jim looks at me
in amazement, gets out of step, and waits
for me to continue, for evidently there is a
look of inspiration in my face that awes him
into silence.
"As if to tempt man, in order to see If he
were indeed inco-ruptible, the Mother
Hubbard was invented" I say, in oracular
tones. ITO be sure it had not the classic
sweep OF the flowing Greek robe, but as
man claimed not to care an atom for
<loolxs,' was only an admirer of good, com
mou sense and a believer in the motto,
handsome is that handome does,' any lack
of grace was thought to be more than COM
pensated for by the purely healthful char
acter of the loose garment, hanging from
the shoulders innocent of flounces, rufles
and puffs. and allowing the free play of
every muscle. "A robe fit for Aygeia her
self, ejaculated the large-brained woman
who invented it. So thought womankind in
general, and forthwith it was universally
gdorted by childhood, youth and old age.
"'Ohl what a comfortr sighed the
walden, as she loosened the long-strained
draw-strings and breathed freely for once.
ssWell, if this isn't relief!' exclaimed
the matron Of many cares.
"sWhat a blessing to humanity!' cried the

THAT PENSION RULING.

Laxiness viii Hereafter stand the De-
serter for q Pensionable Disease.
Unterrified by the remarkable July
statement of the public debt, which
sounded the knell of the surplus and
gave warning of pension payments far
beyond the regular appropriations OF
Congress. the sub-official Bussey has
republished the ancient edict of the
Republican party, that dishonorable
discharge from the Union armies shall
not prejudice the cause of an applicant
for pension.
This detestable ruling was over
thrown with the entry of an honest
administration under General Black.
It does not seem possible that any
body save a thief, and he the thief in
direct interest, should believe that q
soldier dishonorably discharged. an
enemy of his country. a man whose
abilities were directed against the
service-that such man could under
any conceivable circumstances be en-
titled to the gratitude of his country
and the comforts of its liberal hand.
Yet such is the decision of Bussey. up
holding Tanner, who, after the recent
whitewash, CLEANS white as an arch
angel
The Herald. in denouncing this de-
cision, rests its faith on the honor and
patriotism of the soldiers who put
down the rebellion For the charac-
tiers who deserted, who accepted boun-
ties at one rendezvous only to seek
another place of enlistment, who car
ried news to the enemy, who betrayed
their comrades. or who, in any other
unquestioned way reaped the disgrace
of dishonorable discharge, there
should be enduring hostility rather
than dishonest subvention. Because
thieves have votes. Bussey and Tanner
would not only keep them out of Jail.
but furnish them a gratuitous Federal
support Because the men crippled
by the war are already on the pension
rolls. the surplus-reducers, now in the
interest Of war tariff and war exc
penses. send word for all the deserters
to swear to a chronic disease and come
a-running. So long as Tanner and
Bussey may be in the Treasury, and
the organized soldier element can
be kept in the Republican fold, lazi-
ness will stand the deserter for a dire
and pensionable disease
The Government spent $31, 900, 900
in July, the greater part for pensions

tions. grows at rate that would b
