STRANGE CONDOLENCES.
Some Instances Of the Efficacy of Obeyine
Queer Orders.


Queer Orders.
The London Spectator lately had a
clever article entitled 1.-THE Tyranny Of
Coincidence" The example shown is
of a lady who was driving outside of
Athens. When the horses were halted
one of the team refused his oats. The
Greek coachman insisted that the
horse was under a spell. The young
English lady had an "eyil eye" The
man told Miss Symonds to spit-that
was the only cure. The young woman
was forced TO go through the unla,ly-
like performance, and at once the horse
took to his feed. ''The coincidence
the driver tighter than ever" Many
condolences of a similar character
must occur to the reader. Here is
case: A child was told to put four
leaf clover in his left shoe, and was as
sured that he would be sure to find
something" The little boy did so, and
had hardly moved out of his tracks in a
large grass-grown pasture before he
found an old half-dollar of an ancient
date, evidently lost years before. Tho
child was not superstitious, and FORUM
ately the parents were not. The matter
of coincidence was explained to him,
and among other things he was plenti-
fully supplied with four-leaf clovers,
but he never found anything. The
origin Of superstition associated with
amulets or any material objects must
owe its being to just s1ch condolences.
Among those who are not educated it
may be that the tyranny of coincidence
does exist. but it should not hold with
those having sound minds. We all
have, however, dark chamber in our
brains, and it is there that the owls
and bats Of superstition flap their
wings.

1t is well known that, toward the lat

himself cannot be deposed unless the Grand
Mufti SO DEGREES He is a sort of SUI
preme judge in addition to his religious
character. Among the Mahommedan IA
naticS there are large number known as
dervishes, who roam about from country to
country melting trouble. They are walk
ing delegates, as it were for the killing of
Christians. They stimulate the religious
zeal of the people and make violent speech
es against unbelievers. They fast much
and trey have curious methods of worship.
One class Is known the wheeling der
wishes, when you may see any Friday 60
ing through their worship in Constantine
tened at the waist with black BELTS and on
their heads they wear high sugar-loaf hats.
They sing the Koran as they whirl about
in the mosques. AS they go on the chief
priest makes prayers. They whirl faster
and faster, until at last their long skirts
stand out like those of ballet dancer.
They become red in the face, and some
finally drop to the ground in fits.
Another class of these fanatics are the
howlers There is great organization
made up of these in Turkey, and they have
probably been largely concerned in melting
feeling against the Armerians. I have Wis
tied their mosques, but 1 despair of ade
Quately describing their religious gymnas-
tics. They work themselves into frenzy
by gasping and bowling out the name of
God, and the dervishes of the interior parts
of Turkey often take knives and cut them
selves and each other in religious ecstacy.
They go into epileptic fits and foam at the
mouth, and the most of them think that
the killing of Christian is sure pass
these people are the craEks of Mahomme-
danism al d that they are not fair sam
pie OF the MahommeGan world.

THE MONGoOsE IN HAWAII.
He Has Proven Himself n Great Pest
and Destroyer of Game.


From the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
Some five or six years ago the mongoose
was imported into the Islands for the pur-
pose of externinating rats in the cane
fields. Various methods were adopted to
rid the fields of the vermin, but all signally
failed until the little animals were brought
from Jamaica. They are repeating in Ha
wall what was done by them in the Island
of Jamaica.
After destroying rats in the cane fields the
mongoose have attacked birds and fowls
materially decreasing their number by eat,
ing eggs and the young. AS consequence
there are but few quail and turkey on the
islands. Especially is this noticeable in Ha-
wall, in the vicinity of the volcano, where
previous to the Introduction Of the mon
goose species of this game were plentiful.
The country in that locality is simply alive
with the pests, for they have proven to be
that. They attack as well young fowl and
sucking Pigs and have been known to at
tempt to carry off grown animals, after
first causing their death by strangulaton.
AS the mongoose finds the rats, toads and
crabs disappearing it attacks sitting fowls
and carries off their eggs, and kills young
pigs, kids, lambs, calves, pups. kittens,
poultry and game birds, destroys fruits and
vegetab les, and is suspected of sucking
sugar cane, eats meat and salt provisions
and catches fish.

Met at 1870, Wed Mt 1.45.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.

From the ST. Louis GlobeDemocrat.
A marriage, romantic IN the extreme, was
solemnzed recently in the Office of the
county clerk, Glasgow Ky. The groom and
bride had never so much heard of the
others existence until the other day, and
met for the first time when they were
brought face to face in the county clerks
office and introduced by a mutual friend
preparatory to the application for license.
The groom is John Underwood, a prosper
Gus farmer near Temple Hill and siXty-five
years old. The bride was Mrs. Martha ].
Turner. widow, twenty-four years old, who
came from South Carolina two months ago.
The mutual friend pictured to the groom the
virtues and eXcellencies of the young wild
ow, and to her he recited the sterling worth
"a nd good qualities of the farmer. Commits
stoned by the latter with a proposition of
marriage, he returned with an acceptance
from The widow. They set eyes upon each
other at 30 o'clock, and at As o'clock q
local minister had pronounced them hus-
band and wife.

A CHINESE LADY's DRESS.
Some of the Details of n Most Inter-
estfnE Costume.

cSt1nE costume.
Julian Ralph in Harper's.
Ladies differ from coolies, first, in the
amount Of ornament they display, and sec
ond, in the material of which their clothing
is furnished. The only occasions for which
a lady dresses gayly are weddings, birth
days and feasts or ceremonious visits
Ladies always wear silks-never anything
more common-but their best are elabor-
ately embroidered. The first outer garment
is the san-a single or unined long coat
hanging loose from the shoulder to the knees
with no waist-line. A lady has other coats
lined, fur-lined and waddcd. Under her
coat she wears a white coat, and under tina,
a smaller white garment. the chin san.
Under everything goes the piece of
CLOTH" q plain short apron Tapped over al
the back. Just such another thing is the
skirt, which is worn outside, and reaches
half foot below her outer coat. This skirt
Is always black, except on special coca sions:
At her wedding 1t is red, and at other es-
pedal times it is pink, blue, purple, violet,
or green, and is embroidered with gold OF
pretty silks. She wears broad trousers to
within half an inch of the ground The bot
toms of the legs are elegantly bordered
with embroidery.
Ladies wear socks with the seam up the
'front.' and beautifully embroidered silk
shoes. In winter a wadded Silk Logging
warns the calf and ankle. Out-of-doors
every lady wears hack and front" OF
long sleeveless coat, over all her clothing
She carries a folding fan-like gentleman's
