t THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1867. AN ARAB'S IDEA OF WOMEN. The Interest concerning the regions of the . Upper Nile created by the Abyssinian expedi tion baa induced the publication of a new book in London by Sir Samuol Baker, whose title is, "The Nile Tributaries and the Sword Hunters of the Hamran Arabs." It is said by the English reviewers to be as Interesting as the author's previous work. One of the re viewers says: This is indirectly a Nile book, and indi rectly an Abyssinian book; mainly, it is a book illustrated with clever sketches by the author, about gazelle shooting, elephant shoot ing, crocodile shooting, stalking girafl-'s, hip popotamus hunting, and &o forth, all thor oughly enjoyed, set in bright sketches of life among the Arabs and Tokrooris, and told with Mr.' Haker's diversion into Abyssinia was along the course of the Atbara and the fciuttite, and along the track taken by Mr. Dufton from Kartoum over the frontier ground occupied by tbese negro settlers, the Tokroori, of whorn we said enough last week when sketching the course of Mr. Dufton's journey. Mr. Jiaker saw little of Abyssinia proper, and did not come near to the central lake, or the capital of King Theodore; and as he touched Abyssinia only from the land side, of course he has nothing to tell about the routes from the Red Pea to the intw-ior. Tho book is simply to be read for its own interest, and as it tells of travel and sport over ground that is only now beiDg described with accuracy, it -has, apart from its brightness as a lively record of adven ture, some geographical interest. For Mr. 15aker is a skilled observer, and carries to hi3 wild sports tho taste and knowledge of a natu ralist. His map of his route indicating the character of river sources, tho tribes and the animals, and the character of soil in each region, is one that geographers will thank him for, while also the political economists and politicians may draw here and there a useful hint from his experience. On his way over the Nubian desert Sir Samuel Baker tells how an Kgyptiau regiment was once destroyed in it because the men, in pain of thirst, tempted by a mirage, killed the guide who was leading them aright and would not turn out of his course towards a phantom lake, pursued the phantom and to a man were lost. Sir Samuel Baker's explorations in the re gion of the Blue Nile and the Atbara, here de scribed, were made in 1801. As the great central Victoria and Albert Lakes maintain the standard flow of the Nile waters, so, he says, the rain Hoods, of Abyssinia, poured into the Nile by the Blue Nile and the Atbara, are the sources of the annual inundation to which Egypt owes its fertility. At the village of Watgel Negur Sir Samuel found the Arabs still honoring the memory of the only Englishman who had visited them in former times, Mr.Mansfleld l'arkyns, who, say3 our author "has certainly written the best book on Abyssinia that I have ever read." At Wat el Negur Sir Samuel had some curious talk with one of its sheiks. Sheikh Achinet has his ideas, and the devotees of celibaoy, concern ing whom a book has just been written, had and have their ideas. Opinions dilTer. an abab's kotions of womex. The sheik laid down the law with great force, "that a woman was of no use when she ceased to be young, unless she was a good strong person who could grind corn and carry water Irom the river;" in this assertion he was seconded, and supported unanimously, by the crowd of Arabs present, Now it wa3 always a common practice among the Arab women, when they called upon my wife, to request her to show her hands; they would then feel the soft palms, and exclaim in astonishment, "Ah 1 she has never ground corn !" that being the duty of a wife unless she is ncn enough to possess slaves. Sheik Achmet requested me to give him some account of our domestic arrange ments in England. I did this as brielly as pos sible; explaining how ladies receive our de voted attentions, extolling their beauty and virtue, and, in fact, giving him an idea that England was Paradise, and that the ladies were angels. I described the variety of colors; that instead of all being dark some were ex ceedingly fair; that others had red hair; that we had many bright black eyes, and some irresistible dark blue; and at the close of my descriptions, I believe the sheik and his party felt disposed to emigrate immediately to the chilly shores of Great Britain; they asked, "How far off is your country?" "Well," said tie sheik, with a sigh, "that must be a very charming country; how could you possi bly come away from all your beautiful wives f True, you hav brought one with you: she is, of course, the youngest and most lovely; per haps those you have left at home are the old ones 1" I was obliged to explain that we are contented with one wife, and that, even were people disposed to marry two, or more, they would be punished with imprisonment. This announcement was received with a general expression of indignation; the sheik and his party, who, a few minutes ago, were disposed to emigrate and settle upon our shores, would now, at the most, have ventured upon a return ticket. After some murmurs of disapprobation, there was a decided expression of disbelief in my last statement. "Why,", said the sheik, "the fact is simply impossible! How can a man be contented with one wife ? It is ridicu lous, absurd 1 What is she to do when she becomes old ? When Bhe is young, if very lovely, perhaps he might be satisfied with her, ' but even the young must some day grow old, and the beauty must fade. The man does not fade like the woman; therefore he remains the same for many years, but she changes iu a few years. Nature has arranged that the man shall have young wives to replace the old; does not the prophet allow it ? Had not our forefathers many wives? and shall we have but one ? Look at yourself. Your wife is young, and" (and here the sheik indulged in compliments) "but in ten years she will not be the same as now; will you then let her have a nice house all to herself, when she grows old, while you take a fresh, young wife ?" 1 was obliged to explain to the sheik that, first, our, ladies never looked old; seoondly, , they improved with age; and, thirdly, that we were supposed to love our wives with greater ' ardor as they advanced in years. Thid was received with an ominous shake of the head, coupled with the exclamation "Mashallah 1 tht,bhi1 i.v tiiu wiu.iu T,art.v. Tins' was the - -1 - - - 'j " i j , moment lor a few remarks on polygamy, i continued. "You men are selfish: vou expeci from the women that which you will not give In return, 'constancy and love:' if vour wife demanded a multiplicity of husband, would it not be impossible to love her ? How can she love you if jou insist upon other wives ?" "Ah," he replied, "our women are dillorent to yours, they would not love anybody; look at vour wile, bhe has travelled with you far awar from her own country, and her heart is stronger thau. a, man's is afraid ot noiunig, ueoause you ... ;i. l.ur- but our women prefer to be only bappy when they have nothing whatever to do. You don't understand our women; thoy are ignorant creatures, and when their youth is passed are good for nothing but work. Vou have explained your customs j your women are adored by the men, and you are flatisfied with one wife, either young or old. Now I will explain our customs. 1 have four wives; as one has become old, I have replaoed her with a young one; here they all are (he dow marked four strokes upon the sand with his stick). "This one carries water; that ?;rinds the corn; this makes the bread; .the ast does not do much, as she is the youngest, and my favorite ; and if they neglect their work, they get a taste of this I" (shaking a long and tolerably thick Stiok.) "Now, that's the difference between our establishments; yours is well adapted for your country, aud ours is the best plan for our own."
