As per advertisement in the Herald. A
curious old relic indeed, as I had a good per
sonal right to know. In a single instant of
time, a long drawn panorama of sights and
scenes in the Holy Land flashed through my
, memory—town and grove, desert, camp, and
caravan clattering after each other and disap

of human vermin which still holds the ancient

I was in the rear, tis I was saying. Our
pack-mules and Arabs were far ahead, and
Dan, Jaek, Moult, Davis, Denny, Church, and
Birch (these names will do as well as any to
represent the boys) were following close after
them. As my horse nodded to rest, I heard a
sort of panting behind me, and turned and
saw that a tawny youth from the village had
overtaken me—a true remnant and represen
tative of his ancestress the Witch—a galvan

of dress.
I thought to myself, " Now this disease
with a human heart in it is going to shoot toe."
I smiled in derision of the idea of a Bedouin
daring to touch off his great.grandfather's
rusty ole gull and getting his head blown oil'
for his pins. But then it occurred to me, in
simple school-boy language, " Suppose he
should take deliberate aim and haul off' and
fetch me with the but end of it ?" There was
wisdom in that view of it, and I stopped to
parley. I found he was only a friendly vil
lain who wanted a trifle of bucksheesh, and
after begging what he could get in that way,
was perfectly willing to trade off everything
he had for more. I believe he would have
parted with his last shirt for bucksheesh if lie
had had one. Ile was smoking the " humbh•

thing like it. It withered a cactus that stood
lilting its prickly hands aloft beside the trail.
It even woke up my 'nurse. It stud I would
take that. It cost me a franc, a Russian kopek,
a brass button, and a slate pencil ; and my
spendthrift lavishness so won upon the son of
e desert that he passed over his pouch
most unspeakably villainous tobacco to me as
a free gift. What a pipe it was, to be sure I
It had a rude brass-wire cover to it, and a lit
tle coarse iron chain suspended from the bowl
with an iron splinter attached to loosen up the
tobacco and pick your teeth with. The stem
looked like the half of a slender walking-stick
with the bark on.
I felt that this pipe had . belonged to the
original Witch of Endor as soon as I saw
it; and as soon as I smelt it, I knew it.
Moreover, I asked the Arab cub in good Eng
lish if it was not so. and he answered it; good
Arabic that it was. I woke up my horse, and
went my way, smoking. And presently I
said to myself reflectively, " If there is any
thing that could make a man deliberately as•
snuff n dying cripple, I reckon may be an un
'expected whiff from this pipe would do it."
I smoked along till I found I was beginning
to lie, and project murder, and steal my tiwn
things out of one pocket and hide them in
another; and then I put up my treasure, took
off my spurs and put them under my horse's
tail, and shortly came tearing through our car.

we turned our faces toward the sea and jour.

touched level ground just at night, and trotted
off cheerily over the plain of Sharon. It was
perfectly jolly for three hours, and we whites
crowded along together, close after the chief

other Arabs were miles In the rear), and we
laughed, and chatted, and argued hotly about

night air, and the duskiness, and the weariness
or eight hours in the saddle, began to tell, and
conversation flagged and finally died out ut
terly. The squeak-squeaking of the saddles
grew very distinct; occasionally somebody
sighed, or started to bolo a tune and gave
up ; now end then n horse sneezed. These
things only emphasized the solemnity and the
stillness. Evetyhody got so listless that for
once I and my dreamer found ourselves in
the lead. It was a glad, new sensation, and
'longed to keep the place forei•crmore. Every
little stir in the dingy cavalcade behind made
ma nervous. Davis and 1 were riding side by
side, right after the Arab. About 11 o'clock
It had become really chilly, and tho dozing
boys roused up and began to Inquire how far
ll=
it was to ihuniali yet, and to demand that the
Arab hurry along faster. I gave It up then,
and my heart sank within me, because of
course they would come up to scold the Arab.
I knew I had to take the rear again. In my
sorrow I unconsciously took to my pipe, my
only comfort. As I touched the match to it
the whole company came lumbering up and
crowding my horse's rump and flanks. A
whiff of smoke drifted back over my . shoulder,
and—
"The suffering Muses I"
" Whew I"
" By George, who opened that graveyard ?'
"Boys, that Arab's been swallowing sonic
thing dead I"
Right away there was a gap behind us.
Whiff after whiff sailed airily back, and each
one widened the breach. Within fifteen sec
onds the barking; and gasping, and sneezing,
and coughing of the boys, and their angry
abuse of the Arab guide, had dwindled to a
murmur, and Davis and I were alone with the
leader. Davis did not know what the matter
was, and don't to this day. Occasionally he
caught a faint film of the smoke and fell to
scolding a' the Arab and wondering how long
he had been decifying in that way. Out boys
kept on dropping back further and further, till
at last they were only in hearing, not in sight.
And every time they started gingerly forward
to reconnoitre—or shoot the Arab, us they pro
posed to do—l let them get within good fair
range of my - relic (she would carry seventy
yards with wonderful precision), -Mid then
wafted a whiff among them that sent them
gasping and strangling to the rear again. I
kept my gun well charged and ready, and
twice within the hour I decoyed the boys right
tp to my horse's tail, and then with one nu
latices blast emptied the saddles, almost. I
never heard an Arab abused so in my life.
He really owed his preservation to me, because
for one entire hour I stood between Mtn and
certain death. Time boys would have killed
him if they could have got by me.
By and by, when the company was far in
the rear, I put away my pipe—l was getting
fearfully dry and crisp about the gills and
rather blown with good diligent work—and
spurred my animated trance up alongside the
Arab and stopped him and asked for water
He unslung his little gourd-shaped earthen
ware jug, and I put it under my moustache
and took a long, glorious, satisfying draught.
I was going to scour the mouth of the jug a
little, but I saw that I had brought the whole
train together once more by my delay, and
that they were all anxious to arink too—and
would have been long ago if the Arab had not
pretended that he was out of water. So I
hastened to pass the vessel to Davis. He took
a mouthful and never said awordl, but climbed
off his horse and lay down calmly in the road.
I felt sorry for Davis. It was too late now,
though, and Dan was drinking. Dan got
down too, and hunted for a soft. place. I
thought I heard Dan say, "That Arab's friends
ought to keep him in alcohol or else take him
out and bury him somewhere." All the boys
took a drink and climbed ,down. It is not
well to go into further particulars. Let us
draw the curtain upon this act.
Well, now,'to think that after three cluing
ing years I should hear from that curious old
relic again, and see Dan advertising it for sale
for the benefit of a benevolent object. Dan is
not treating that present right. I gave that
pipe to lint for a keepsake. However, he
probably finds that it keeps away cestom and
interferes 'with business. It is the most con
vincing inanimate object in all this part of the
world, perhaps. Dan and I were room-mates
in all that long "Quaker City" voyage, and
whenever I desired to haVe a little season of
privacy I used to fire up on that pipe and per
suade Dan to go out ; 1111(i he seldom waited
to change his clothes, either. In about a quar
ter, or from that to three•quarters or a minute,

MORAL SUASION.
=I
A friend of mine, an eminent New York
philanthropist, relates the following inter
view with a condetimed criminal. The crime
for which this wretched man was hung is still
fresh in our memories. One morning at
breakfast his tripe didn't suit'him, and he lin
medialely brained his wife and children and
set the house on fire,varylng the monotony of
the scene by pitching his mother-in-law down
the well, having previously, with great con
sideration, touched her heart with a cheese
knife.
I will now quote my friends' own words:
" lle was pronounced a hard case, maul-
Westing no sorrow for his act, and utterly in
different to his approaching doom. A score
of good people had visited'him with the kind
est intentions, but without making the smallest
impression upon him.
" Without boasting, I wish to say that I
knew I could touch this man's heart. I saw
a play once in which the most brood.thtrsty
and brutal ruffian that ever existed was melted
to tears at the mention of his mother's name
and childhood's happy hours, and everybody
knows that what happens on the stage hap
pens just the same in real life.
" I naturally congratulated myself on Imv
lug seen this play, for it gave me power to
cope with this relentless disposition.
" Ile resisted attempts at conversation,
however, in the most dogged manner, barely
returning surly monosyllables to my anxious
wishes for his well being.
"At last, laying my hand on his shoulder,
and throwing considerable pathos Into my
voice, I said :
"My friend, it was not always thus with
you. There was a time when you sat upon
you!' mother's knee, and gathered buttercups
and daisies ?"
"Ah ! I had touched the right chord at
last. His brow contracted and his lips
twitched convulsively."
" And when that mother put you in your
little bed," I continued, "she kissed you, and
hoped you would grow up a—
" You lie," said he, "she didn't. The old
woman was six foot under ground afore I
ccitthl chaw. Now,look here, yo•u're the fourth
chap that's tried the ' mother' dodge on me.
Why don't you fellers" he added with a ma
licious grin, "go back on the mother busi
ness, and give the old man a chance, jest for
a change?"
"After the above scurvy treatment I was
naturally anxious to witness the man's fu
neral, which I understood was to be a gorge
ous aflkir, six respectably-attired females
having been sworn in to kiss the body, amid
the hysteric weeps of three more in the back

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

The New York Post says :—" The Presi

some one to succeed Mr. Motley. • Ile does
well to choose carefully ; and we trust he will

SEVERAL years since a son of the Earl of

name of George F. Osborne, and hailed from

E strike of the , spinners at Fall River has
come to an end by the operatives resuming
work without any of their demands having

in which time they sustained an aggregate
loss or one million of 'dollars in wages alone.
How many debts they contracted, and how
much of their savings were expended In the
period of Idleness, we have no means of know
ing; so that the strike has been a most un
profitable one to the workingmen. That the
mill owners were also losers there is no doubt.
Both capital and labor always suffer by

some other means to adjust their differences.
Haughty defiance on one side and resolute
opposition from the other, is certainly not a
sensible way of adjUsting a business misunder•

and they can maintain them without inflicting
on one another the immense losses entailed
by strikes.
THAT seems to have been an ungentienmn

Ho" to Make a Thousand Dollars
A Yankee Recipe
My gettin' the better of my wife's father is
,one of the richest things on record. I'll tell
you how it was. You must know that he is
monstrous 'stingy. The complaint - seems to
run in the family and everybody round our
parts used to notice that he never by nay
chance asked anybody to dine with hint. So
one day jilt for a chunk of fun, I said to a
friend of mine, Jeddy Dowkins—a dreadful
nice fellow Is Jeddy—" I'll bet you n penn

" Yeou get bout," said Jeddy ; " why, yeou

" Well," said I ; "I'm going to try."
And try I did, and I'll tell you how I w. nt
to work.
Jist as old Ben was sitting down to dinner
nt 1 o'clock, I rushed up to the house, at a
high-pressure pace, red-hot in the face, with
my coat-tails in the air, my eyes rain' about
like billiard-balls in convulsions. Hat-tat-La
—ding•a•ling-aling. I kicked up an awful,
rumpus, and in a flash out come old Ben him
self. I had struck the right mina. Its had a

his hand. I smelt the dinner as he opened
the door. •
" 0, Mr. Merkins,!" said I, " I'm tarnathm
glad to see you. I feared you molight not be
at home . —l'm almost out or breath. I'm come
to tell you I can save you it thousand dollars."
"A thousand dollars," roared the old man;
and I defy a weasel to go " pop" quicker than
his face burst into smiles. ":\ thousand dol

" Oh !" said I, " I see you are just having
dinner neow. I'll go un dine myself, and
then I'll conic back and tell you all about it."
" Nonsense," said he, " don't go away ;

I pretended to decline. " I'd come back ;"
but I thoroughly stirred op the old chap's
cu

into the house, and I made n rattlin dinner of
pork and beans.
I managed for some time to dodge the mah
point of his inquiry. At last I finished eat

lay ; besides old Ben wits gettin' very fidgety.
"Come, neow," said he, "no more pre.

" Well, I'll tell you what," said I, " yeou
have a darter, Misery Ann, to dispose of in

" What's that got to do with it ?" inter
rupted he.
"Hold your proud steeds—don't roil MT

" Neow answer my question."
"Nell," said he, "I have."
"And you intend, when she marries, to
give her $lO,OOO for a portion ?"
" I do," he said.
" Well, neow, there's the pint I'm coining

The next thing I knew there was a rapid
interview going on between old Ben's foot
and my coat tails—and I ant inclined to think
the latter got the worst of it.
NEW YORK GOSSIP
Nilsson's Debut in New York

the highest expectation entertained of heromil.
indeed, in many things surpassed them. The
perfect figure—lithe, active, graceful in every

with the extreme purity which characterizes

radiant with the halo of innocence. The won
derful capacity at that girlish face to transform
its expression to suit every interpretation of
thought or passion was superbly manifested in
the grand Ophelia scene from " Hamlet."
Nothingperhaps,so electrical has been wit miss

Without any of the accessories of the stage
all the dramatic effects were produced with a
wonderful fidelity to the story of the poor
mind-tossed Ophelia that kept. the audience
literally bound in a spell. -
Nilsson's voice is, strictly speaking, coin:
parable to no other artiste than Jenny Lind,
of which, in point of Minimise power and
delicacy, it much reminds one. In higher
cultivation and distinctness of intonation, per.
haps, site surpasses her predecessor. Success
so unqualified as that which crowned the de.

rarely bestowed by a New Yorkainlience ex

are strengthened, therefore, in what we have
always upheld, that sterling talent finds its

notes of her voice died away in the exquisite
Swedish ballad which she gave, in response
to an encore for the cavatina from " Traviata,"
her countrymen should have assembled in a

able means to securo an' intelligent and up
right majority
The first of these new matters that must he
acted upon, is the Congressional and State
apportionments. Both these come together
now for the first time since 1801 ; a circum
stance which will not occur again until 1941.
These apportionments alone will make the
next session one of great Interest. It is of the
utmost importance to the Republican party
that the Legislature which has these two mat
ters to dispose of should he of its own politics.
These are matters of &purely political nature,
and the party that wins in the coming elec
tion will probably hold the Legislature and a
majority of the Congressmen for years. We
need say no more upon this point.
Besides these two questions, there will be
the revision of the civil code, a matter of gen
eral interest, to be acted upon. The report of
the commissioners, who have been nt work on
this revision for three years, it is said will
cover two-thirds of our statute laws. To act
understandingly and wisely upon such a re
port on such a subject the Legislature should
be intelligent—and we trust it will be.
Next R is almost certain that there will IA
a loud and extensive call upon the Legisla
ture to call a Convention to revise the State
ConstituMm. This a matter again in which
all the people of the State are deeply interest
ed. It is a political question of the highest
character, and should impress the Republican
party as much ns anything else, with the ab
solute necessity of carrying the next Legisla
ture if they wish to retain political power in
the State.
We have thrown these views together
loosely, but are firmly Impressed with their
truth,' and trust they will not he without
weight in urging the Republican party to
greater action than it has yet exhibited in this
campaign.—Harrisburg Telegraph.
