Jtr.ul stopping to think, I had in a * taken upon Oyseif to bring the Sbsb of Persia to England. I could S rt«wise regard the conversation 1 had the London representative She New York U*have somebody along to talk to wtec I go" abroad. When I got home I h: down and thought the thing all over.' ; I wanted to go into this enterprise under standingly. What was the main thing? Teat was the question. I little reflection :cformed me. For two weeks the London papers had snug just one continual song to just one continual tune, and the idea of ;t ail was “how* td impress the Shah.” Ttese papers had tcjld all about the St. Petersburg splendors, and had said at the end that splendors jwoulJ no longer an ;wer: that England could not outdo Rus s;& in that respect, therefore some other way of impressing the Shah must be con trived. And these papers had also told aii about the Shahstic reception in Prus sia and its attendant military pageantry. England could not improve on that sort i thmg ; she could not impress the Shah with soldiers; something else must be tried. And so on. Column after column, page after page of agony about how to Impress the Shah.” At last they had hit upon a happy idea —a grand naval exhi bition, That was it! A man brought up ■ n Oriental seclusion and simplicity ; a man who had never seen anything but ■amels and such things, could not help ta mg surprised .and delighted with the strange noveUy of ships. The distress wa? at an end. England heaved a great sigh of relief; she knew at list how to mpress the Shah. My course was very plain now, after tbat bii ot reflection. All I had to do was ‘go over to Belgium and impress the I failed to form any definite plan in the process, but I made up my mind •0 manage it somehow. I said to myself; ’ I will impress the Shah, or there shall be a funeral that will be worth contem- p’;a!iag.” 1 went to bed then, but did not sleep a ureal deal, for the responsibilities were weighing pretty heavily upon tne. At o’clock in the morning, Mr. Blank came and turned me out. I was surprised ibis, and not gratified,for latest early rising. I never like to say severe things, but I was a good deal tried this time. I said I did not mind getting up moderate* y early,,but I hated to be called day be* iore yesterday. [He goes on to describe English scenery &nd the voyage, and then gives what he calls Ostend-talions information.] Oslend is a curious, comfortable-look* in 8> tnassively-built town, where the peo ple speak both the French and the Plem- with exceeding fluency, and yet I could not understand them in either tongue. But I will write the rest about . . Ostend in to-morrow’s letter. We idled about this curions Oatend the remainder of the afternoon and far into ibe long-lived twilight, apparently to wuuse ourselves, but secretly I had a V' eeper motive. I wanted to see if there % * as aD ything here that might “impress the Shah.”- Ini. the end I was reassured and content. If Ostend could impress him, England could amaze the head clear off his shoulders, and have marvels left that not even the trunk coil Id be indiffer ent to. These ciizens of Flanders—Flounders, I think they call them, though I feel sure t have eaten a creature of that name, or seen it in an aquarium, or a menagerie, or |n a picture, or aomeWhere—are a thrifty, industrious race, and ate as commercially wise and far'Sighted as they were in Ed ward the Third’s time, and as enduring and patient underadversity as iheywere tlie Bpld’s. They are pjroli&c in themaUerof children; in some of tire harrow streets every house seemed to to have a fresiiet of whlchhad burst' through and overflowed into the roadway. One couldhardly get alohg for the pack of jayeulies, and they were all soiled and all. healthy. They all Wore wooden shoes which cUtteaed noisily on the stone pavements. All the women were bard at work; there were no idlers about the houses. The men were away at labor, no doubt. In nearly every door women sat at needle-work or something of that marketable nature —they weire knitting principally. Many groups of women sat in the streets, in the lhade of walls, making point lace. The lace-ma ker holds a sort of pillow on her knees with a strip of cardboard fastened on it, on which the lace pattern has been punc tured. She sticks bunches of pins in the punctures, and about them weaves her web of threads. The numberless threads diverge from- the bunch of pins like the spokes of a wheel, and the spools from which the threads are being unwound from the outer circle of the wheel. The women throws these spools about her with flying fingers, in and out, over end under each other, and so fast that you can hardly follow the evolutions with your eyes. In the chaos and confusion of skip ping spools, you wonder bow she can possibly pick up the right one every time and especially bow she can go on gossip ing with her friends all the time, and yet never seem to miss a stitch. The laces these ingenious Flounders were making were very dainty and delicate in texture, and very beautitul io design. Most of the shops in Ostend seemed de vosed to the sale of sea shells. All sorts of figures of men and women were made of shells; one sort was composed of gro tesque and ingenious combinations of lob eter claws in the human form. And they had other figures made of stuffed frogs— some fencing, some barberiug each other, and some were not to be described at all without indecent language. It must re quire a barbarian nature to be able to find humor in such nauseating horrors as these latter. These things were exposed In the public windows where yonng girls and little children could see them, and in the shopsjsat the usual hairy-lipped young woman, waiting to sell them. I Apparently change of air did not effect Mark’s dislike of early rising, for be speaks most ungratefully of the energeiic German waiters, who refused to allow him a little more slumber.] ’ It was an excellent hotel; the utmost care was taken that everything should go right. I went to bed at ten and *yas called at eleven, to “take the early attain.” I said I was not the one, so the l stirred op the next door snd he .was not the one ; then the next door and the next no success —and so on till the reverber ations of the knocking were lost.? in the distance down the ball, and I fell asleep again. They called me at twelve'to take another early train, but I said I- was not the one again, ind #sked as a fivor that they would be particular to call lhf J rest next time,hut never mind me. However, they could not understand my English ; they only said something in reply to sig nify that, and then went on barging up the boarders, none of whom desired to take the early train. they called me at one, it made my rest seem very broken, and I said if they would skip me at two I call myself—not really intending to do it, but hoping to beguile the porter and deceive him. He probably suspected that, and was afraid to trust me, because, when he made his rounds at that hour he did not take any chances on me, bat routed me out with the others. I got some more sleep after that, but when lb| porter call ed me at three I felt depressed and jaded and greatly discouraged. So I gave it up and dressed myself. The porter gave me a cup of coffee, and kept me awake while I drank it. He was a good, well-meaning sort of Flounder, but really a drawback to the hotel, I should think. Poor Mr. Blank came in then, looking worn and old. He had been called for in all the different trains too, just as I had. He said it was a good enough hotel, but they look too much pains. While we sat there talking we fell asleep and were called again at four. Then we went out and dozed about town till six, and then drifted aboard the Lively. [The Shah did not profoundly impress Mr. Twain’s republican soul, as is thus described]: He was a handsome, strong-featured man, with a rather European fairness of complexion; had a moustache, wore spec tacles, seemedTof a good height and grace fufbuild and carriage and looked about forty or a shade less. He was very sim ply dressed—brimless stovepipe and chise buttoned dark green military suit, with out ornament. Hot wholly without orna ment, for he had a band two inches wide i worn over his shoulder and down across THE RADICAL: FRIDAY, AU his breast, scarf fashion, which band was one solid gloryof doe diamonds. [lt is pleasant to know that the United States was not surpassed by England de ference to Persia, but the spirit in which it was rendered Is doubtful. This is Twain's description of his conduct] : The Shah walked back alongside his fine cabin, looking at the assemblage of silent, solemn Flounders; the correspon dent of the London Tdegraph was hurry ing along the pier and. took off ; bis hat and bowed to the “King of Kings,” and the King of Kings gave a polite military salute in return/’ This was the commence ment of the excitement. The;, success of the breathless man made all the other London correspondents mid, .every man of whom flourished his; stovepipe recklessly and cheered lustily, some.ofthe more enthusiastic varying,the exercise by lowering their heads and elevating thair coat-tails.. Seeing all this, and feeling that if 1 was to "impress the Shah” at all, now was my time, 1 ventured a little squeaky yell, quite distinct from the other shouts, but just as hearty. His Shah-ship heard and sawand sainted me in a man% ner that was, I considered, an acknowl edgment of my superior importance. I do not know that I ever felt so ostenta tious and absurd before. AU the corres pondents came aboard, and then the Per sian baggage came also, and was carried across to the ship alongside of ours. When she could hold no more we took somewhere about a hundred trunks and boxes on board our vessel. Two boxes fell into the water, and several sailors jumped inland saved one, but the other -was lost. However, it probably contain ed nothing but a few hundred pounds of diamonds and things. Colored BiehteoaineH. There is an aged colored woman in this city who does not believe in social equali ty, judging by the way she talks to her boy: •Ephriham, come hyar to yer mudder, boy. Wharyoubio?’ ‘Playin’ wid de white folkses cbillun.’ •You is, eh ? See hyar, chile, you’ll broke yer ole mudder’s heart, and brung her her gray bars in sprro’ to the grave win yer recklumness an’ earrings on wid ebil assoassyshuns, Habn’t, I raised you up in the de way you should ought to gor ‘Yessum.’ •Habn’t I bin kind an’ lender wid you, an, treated you like my own chile, which you is?’ ‘Yessum.’ ‘Habn’t I reezioed wid you, and prayed wid you, and deplored de good Lord to wrap you in his buzzum ?’ ‘Yessum.’ ‘Habn’t I taught you to walk in de broad an’ narro’ path, ah* shun de Lord !’ »Yesse“-’ , ‘Aa’ Isn’t I yet natural detector an gwadjence fo’ de law ?’ ‘Yessum.’ den do you s’pose Tee gwine to yer morals ruptured by de white trash ? No, sah ! You git in de house. dis instep ; an’ if I cotch you ‘mu nication’ wid white trash any mo’, fo’ God, nig, I’ll break yer brack head wid a brick.’ ‘Yessum.’ Editing a Newspaper. Editing a newspaper is a very pleasan business. If it contains too much political matter, tbe people don’t like it. If the type are too small, people won’t read it. If the type are too large, it don’t con tain enough reading matter. If we publish telegraph reports people say they are lies. If we omit them they say we have no enterprise. If we have a few jokes, people say we are a rattledread. If we omit them they say we are an old fossil. If we publish original matter, they curse us for not publishing selections. If we publish selections, men say we are lazy for not writing more and giving them what they have read in some other paper. It we give a mao a complementary notice, we are censored for being par tial. . " If we do not all hands say we are a greedy dog. If we insert an articjfe that pleases the ladies, men become jealous. If we do not cater to their wishes the paper is not fit to have in the house. ? if we remain in the office and attend to business, folks say we are to proud to mingle with our fellows. If we go out they say we never attend to business. If we publish poetry they say we effect sentimentalism. If we do not we hava no literary polish or taste. “Father,” said a young llspcr of four summers, “when wath the flood.?’* “O my son,” replied the parent, “that happened a great while ago.' ‘ Wath we alive then?” persisted the little inquirer. “No, dear,” was the reply; “the flood we read of in the Bible happened many thousand years ago.” “Well, now,” rejoined the boy, in great disgust, “that is too bad I I thought Tom Brown (another youngster of the same age) was fibbin’. He thaid to ■ roe this morning he was there then l and waded through!” —The shade of nighl-rwindow cur tains. - COIJNTY OFFICERS* Prttidmt Judge— a. W. Acheson. MutcmjAwrence.
