1t is now in order for some of the MEM
bers of the City Council who in 1890
voted to board the city engineers horse
at the expense of the city to explain why
they are now SO rampant in their opposl
tlon to scheme that net their unqual-
flied endorsement few years ago. There
is vast difference between tweedledum
and tweedledee, but few men outside..of
municipal servants and Congressman are
able to explain just what the difference
IS. The question of the board of n horse
is in itself a small matter, but in the
present instance is one of those small
matters that may lead to larger conse-
quences. 1t was wrong in 1890 to feed
the city engineers horse at the expense
of the public and it is wrong now.

EGURAi IN MAROCCO.
Inc whole Population of tho Town Is

Descended From Ecncgadcs,
ASnra is small town surrounded
with walls of from 10 to 90 feet in
height and built of tabia, or CON
sohdnted rubble. 1t owes its existence
to Mulai lsmail, who held the throne
of Marocco from l722-1757. One gate
alone gives entrance to tho place, and
in this respect, as we'll as in it's archi-
lecture within and without, it much
resembles the "ksor'' of the Sahara de-
scribed i'll the writer's "Tafilet." But
it Owls one feature Of curiosity which
was lacking III the desert, for almost
without exception the entire population
are descendants Of the renegades and
Christian slaves of the time of Mulai
Ismail, with the addition of stray rene
guides who have been sent there since.
Probably no such cosmopolitan place
exists i'll the world. for its 800 or 400
inhabitants arc representative of 10 less
than IL nationalities. Each family re-

descendants of Spanish gypsies, the
head OF the family being "Absalam ben
Mohammed ol Gitano ell Espanoli. "
They were particularly proud of the
l1ltano' GYPSY part of the surname
and begged me not to confound them
with the ordinary Spaniards, of whom
there were many descendants in Agurai.
The ancestor of this gypsy family was
two generations back. He had left his
country, they naiyely told the writer,
because he was not on good terms with
his sultan, who wanted to imprison
him, being afraid of his influence. Prob
ably 1t was moro of an affair of the po-
lice courts than political intrigue.
The "Ulad ell Aluj" (''sons of the
converts" ), rs the inhabitants of Agurai
are called, have entirely, except in one
or two cases, lost the type of their Eu-
ropcnn ancestry, and through marriage,
no doubt, arc as largely Berber in APP
