"I am takin music lessons here," said a young fellow from Cincinnati, who does not talk much, "l take two lessons a week. I pay for the lessons about 12 cents each, or SI l'cr month. I pay all the teacher asked." "1 am paying 50 cents er lesson to a teacher of German," said another. "I paid 15 for this suit of clothes," said another, "aud I couldn't buy it in the United States for $i0. They were made to order for me." "I pay 12 marks, or $1, per mouth formy room, withcotlee every morning," said another. "I rode iu a beautiful carriage irom II o'clock until 6 o'clock yesterday. 1 had a splendid driver. I had beer, and so did he.

I have just given enough to bhow why it is that people of small means iu Fug laud dock to Saxouy. The can live will here for what it would cost them to liva poorly at home. Americans have not taken advantage of the in ducements offered by Dresden or Leip- sic as yet, because Americaus do not live like the English on annuities.

The Origin ii f the ThltMl-ill. Tne Tailietan legend of th origin of the people is that in the beginning only one man ana bis tnrec sons uvea on me table-land. They had bo houses or tents, but led a migratory life, without being troubled with the cares ot existence, for the land was not then desert, or poor, or cold. Trees were crowing which afforrkd choice fruits, rice flourished without man having to latr to raise it, and the tea pi.int thrived in the fields that Buddha -fterward changed into stony places, (nibet was then all the more a fortunate, rich land, because these four raen, then the only living creatures in the world, knew do! hint? of war aui contention, but lived in unity and peace. At last the tut her suddenly tiled. Each of his sons wanted his body, to dispose of it in his own way. 'Ibis was the first dispute. The corpse lay for som days on a large rock, and the sons avoided one another. At last the eldest ton made a piopoeition: "Why should we tie alienated because a ruL-tortune has happened to us all in com- iuouJ let us b agreed and divide the body." They all accepted the proposi: dan. The coipse was divided into three parts, and each son took a part. The eldest son got the head. He went away toward the east and became the father of the Chinese, who excel in craft and have great skill in trade. The secOEd son was satisfied with" his dead father's limbs. He also left his borne and settled where the great Desert of Gobi gives his posterity, the Mongols, plenty of room; their char acteristic is restlessness. The youngest son received the breast and boweK He remained in Thibet, and from him are de ecended the Thibetan people, who are distinguished in ordinary intercourse by good nature, openness and cordiality, in war by courage and enthusiasm. A letter from the army in gypt says; daybreak found most of the regiments close on to the iutreuchmeuts tome of them lying ou the very brink of the ditch. As the first rays of morniug lit np the sand wastes the enemy seemed to wake suddenly aud instantly the para pets burst into life and flame. The fire was something awful, and had the Arabs shot as straight as they shot fast no mortal troops could have stood np agaiust it, M; t of the bullets flew over the heads of our men as they rushed on ; but many a one found its billet On weut the assaulting regiments, the soldiers jumping down or rolling iuto the ditch and then scrambling ou to the parapet, some to fall back aq;aiu to the bottom and lie there dead or wonnded ; others . slipped down the saudy slope but immediately tried agaiu nntd at last they gained the top. Then came the cold steel aud it was all over with the Egyptians. They could not stand it, and iu ten minutes from the first shot they were in full fight across the open. Here they buff red terribly from the quick, incessant fire of the Martini-Heurv, and the ground was strewn thick with their dead. Without an attempt to rally indeed, without any possibility of rallying they were driyeu in headlong disorder across the canal. Then the pursuit was hike a up by the cavalry, who followed them ad day and slaughtered th-.-ni by the hun dred. Zagazu?, Belueis anil lieuha fell successively into the hands of Genera! Drurv Lowe, anil then Cairo itself. The Bengal Lancers nuist have been in their elenimit, as they are the very troops for that kind of work. I faucy they disposed of many of their coralig- iouists! The Egyptian batteries are strong works of admirable i r .file, with from three to six embrasures ; the sm iiler oiics with three embrasures had one gun each, otuers more, rifty- eight cannon fell into our bauds, mak ing sixty-uiue altogether in lour weeks. The batteries are all joined by shelter trenches, th e in the immediate line of our advance being of good aud strong profile, with the interior slopes revetted All the region for miles and mites arouDd Arcos is thickly planted with olives, which give a plea-nig aspect to this hilly country. It was late twilight when we came clatt ring uito the ancient town, aud were sot do vn at the hnvie where the diligence stopped, which seemed to 1e presided over by three old women. We were snrrouuded at once by a curious and he'.pful populatiou, all eager to seize onr pieces of lnggage and bear them to parts unknown. The driver, who was our friend, appeared to be having a conference with the old wom-n as to whether they should have the plucking of us, or would send ns to the r gular posada, to which we wished to go. In the growing darkness it was impossible to see win-re we were, or where the posada was, and it required all onr vigilance to keep track of ouri lnggago. After a great deal of confu sion, me found ourselves transferred, bag aud baggage, to the pos ida, which w:is almost exactly opposite, iu debt to half the loalers iu Arcos for their valua ble assistance. The posada the best in the ? lac, showed no sign of light or life. We eutered the stables aud made our way np a stone staircare to the hotel apartments. No obsequious laud- lord or landlady welcomed us, but we at last discovered a tall, sour-faced muid-of-ail work, hanghty and dirtv. who condescended to show us a couple of clean but utt.rly bard little rooms. and undertook to get at something to eat. We felt humbly obliged. The stranger in Spain, at most inns aud elsewhere, is treated as if the most ac ceptable thing he could do would bo to t iko himself speedily out of the coun try. Our apartments were furnished with Spartan simplicity; the guest is allowed a washbowl, but no pitcher, aud the water given him iu the lxwl is Hnjportedto be quite sufficient for his Cecils; but the bed, though the wattres is niado of uncomfortable lumps of wool, is scrupulously clean.

But it should be confessed joining the torts, which would corres pond to bastions in the old system of fortification.

Had we attempted tJ attach the left A raid Lad a line of works ready, and there was also a very strong work on tao right, and ! camions would cover his centre. N rl 1 1 rxir Law. Two persons own l.ihd separated by a line fence, which is common property between the two parties. One has an apple trie on the bide of the fence. h se limbs everuaug tue ieiioe on the side ot the other. Apples fall on either si !e. The question often aukod in, do the ap ples that fall on one's land belong to the other, or to both? This sndject has been several times discussed, with some con tradictory decisions and judgement, but the rules are now pretty well established. If the stem trunk of the tree grows so close to the line that parts of its actual body extends iuto each neither owner can cut it dowu without the consent of the other, aud the fruit is to be equit ably divided. If the stem of the tree stands wholly withiu the boundary hue of oue owner, he owns the whoie tree with its products, although the roots aud branches extend into the property of the other. There was an old rule of law th it the latter might claim fsoni the yield of the tree us much as would be au ofUet for the nourishment it derived from his (state, but this is now obsolete. The law gives the land owner on whose soil the tree stands the right to cat it down at his pleasure and to pluck all the fruit from it while it stands. In New York state the courts have decided that tres pass for assaults would lie by the owner of the tree, against the owner of the bind over which its branches extended, if he prevented the owu'.r of tho tree, by personal violence, from reaching over and picking the Irnit growing npon the branches while standing oa the fence dividing the lands. The owuer of the land over which the branches extend may lap the branches close to his line. He may dig down aud cut the roots square with his lines if he so elects. Iu plain terms, if no portion of the trunk is withiu his line he may refuse all tres pass of the tree on his premises, either above ground or lielow it. But if he gives the treas license either to ext ud its brauches oyer his premises, he does not thereby gain any right to its fruit. He cannot pick it for himself nor Inter fere w-itn the picking by the owuer, as long as the Utter remains in the tree or ou the fence which divides the property This right to the fruit does hot, how ever, permit the other owner to come upon the soil on the other side of the line to gather the fruit, and all the fruit wheeh falls without violence to the ground on that bide may thus btcome the property of its owner. Taking It Out oi the Store. Mr. Kemper, of Illinois, was in the mercantile business. He had a trreat deal of work outside of his store, and he generally made it a point to pay meu that worked for him with goods. On one occasion he had a pile of wood he want ed cut iuto ttove wood. Calling to a boy on the street he said : "Here, Dock, I want to get a little wood cut Can you do it ?" "Yes," said the boy. "All right, you go over to the house and cut up that piie, aud come back aud I'll pay you for it ; but," he added aflcr a moment's pause, "I suppose you will take it ont of the store ?" 'Of course,' replied the boy, "1 would iust as soon take it out of the store as not." Meeting Kimpr oa the street a da or two after, the boy said : "Say, Mr. Kemper, I would like toy have the cash for cutting that wood. "Why," said Kemper' "I thought you were going to take it out of the store." " ell, who said 1 wasn 1 7 We ar out of the store now, and I will take the cash. that the luxury is attainable.

Iu the way ot cloaxs tue first breath of cold weather is bringing out a great many novelties. A n elegant long wrap is a com bination of silk and plush, with sleeves of brocaded satin and velvet, ornamented with jet trimmings and lined with electric plush. Another is Uitoman silk, trimmed with satin, striped plush and fringe. Some of the most expensive wraps are long cloaks of embossed plush or velvet, with borders of precious fut or needlework pas sementerie, each raised flower costing as much as a yard of ordinary trimming. Others are so complicated in construction and so e'abjrateiy garnished as to defy in telligible description. The value, more over, is n-t all on the outside, for the lining is often silk or satin, quilted in va rious designs. Ou the other hand, piainly made redingo'ca, trirnmtd with braiding, are in hih fashion. Jersey jackets in tolerably pronounced c dors are worn over all sorts of skirts. Mantles or novelty clotn, in camel's balr shawl effects, are trimmed with chenille fringe. An odd dolman is made ot mouse-colored plusb, trimmed with lur. A novelty is a reversible circular of satin, lined with some kind of mr and interlined with gossamer rub' er, so that it can in a moment be turned into a waterproof.

A superb coat is made of cut and uncut velvet bro cade, with very heavy cord ornamenle. The long plain front is fashioned by the cord loops and the same devices are em ployed in the back. A horseman says: I ow ned a mare for fourteeu years whicii was never shod. I used her for breeding from a colt, aud kept her without shoes because it was better for my purpose, as she would not lie so liable to injure her colts, aud she was not diiveu enough to re quire suoemg. luis mare was never lame or teuder-footed, but she would slip ou smooth ice, and would have in jured herself (as she could not gain foot-hold) if sue had not lieeu held down until removed. She was gotten off the ice by putting a rope around her body and hitching another horse to it aud sliding her several rods broad side to the shore. Her feet were never cut, aud contained all the natural liiu on the bottom, which, it is churned, in a state of natute will hold horses np. keeping them from slipping anywhere. Tl -' . i . .r- litre is a vasi umreuce ia the wear ing effect of horses' feet ou prairie laud where there is art absence of grit: ou plains where there is more or less fcras to sctteu the foot-fall, and also aa ab sence of gravel, and a gravelly road. Ou such a road a horse might go oa a walk, if not driven too much, without wearing the hoofs to the extent of be coming footsore, but if driven ou a trot, or galloped any considerable amount, it would become footsore. I have known colts while running ia the past ure iu bumui-T ou gravelly soil, by the natural wear of the feet aud iu stamping on account of files to wear the hoofs away j that they become decidedly tender-footed. There is a great difference iu horses about stepping; some strike the feet very hard on the gronud and others lightly. The former would be snro to get footsore without sho, and with tneru nnless well shod, while the luttir might do very well barefooted, under pos.-dble circumstances. There is also a gre itdiirereu.ee in theshuie of hordes' feet; some are bora ll.ttfooccd aud be come crippled unless extra aire is had iu their suoeing, others have hoofs so upright and hard t'.ia they will endure neglect aud keep their fjet iu sound coadit.ou. A flatfootod horse usudly has a soft hoof, which wears'ont rapidly. It is apparent from these facts that a general rule to deprive horses of shoes cannot bj made always practicable. A hoise well shod, so that the cuter tim oi the Loof rests fully on the shoes, will always travel better than one poorly shod or oue barefoot.'d. The curse of shoeing is the buttress au instrument which a blacksmith seems to delight iu usiug to cut dowu a horse s heels, and more horses are made tender-footed from this abuse than all other causes. farmers are very Bpt to allow their horses to wear tneir shoes so long that the outside of the hoofs grows over them, and th.-y grind the solt and ten der por:iou of the hoof, producing corns; whereas the shoe should always rest upon the riui or outside. This neglect is tiie worst kind of economy, as it ctteu resaUi, in iermitieiit injury U viduable auiiauls. Such shoeing is worse thau no shoes, but this abuse is uat a conclu sive argument against shoeing, but should be conclusive ag dust bad shoe- B"it' Jewelry.

A few years ago au English gentleman took a bracelet to a leading provincial English jeweler to have the daq mended. The jeweller looked at the sPbae care fully, and then said : "You are aware that this is uot geuuiue ?" "Not gen uine !" exclaimed the gentleman 'You must lie mistaken. 1 his was giveu to my wife on her marriage by my uncle, the last mau iu the world to give sham jewelrj." But the jeweller, an eminent mau iu his line persisting, the donor was informed. He wrote back that it had coat $500, and ordered that it be at once scut to him ; and, taking it to Messrs. , a firm of the first eminence, indignantly stated his case. It was sham. They offered a check at once, or a new bracelet, and seemed terribly chagrined. The explanation was that, do what they would, they were at times the victims of their workmen, who sub stituted admirably niade bogus gems for real oues. l'rooably scores ot persous have jewelry thought to be real which in truth is nut so.

When a tribe is hunting, it ta ups, by gcnla or uatioui, in a circle, each yem hearing the name of so nc animal. A I the incmliers i f one gens are relatives, and marriage between uuui x-rs ot one gens is absolutely forbidden. Membership in a cens is by descent in the male line, no', in the female. The relations of a man are leu. ted by colors; for example, black, giaa-Jfalher or grandmother; blue, lather or mother. U s conucctioes are denoted by mixed colors such as a pink head and skirt, with light-blue triangle on the body, for sister-in-law. A man can marry his brother's widow, and Ler children call him father even be tore their father's death, j His sister's chilJren are only nephews and nieces. His mother's sister is always called mother for the tame reason, and even his paternal grandfather's brother's son is his lather. These, and many other distinctions, show that the tt-rins of re a ti inship are far more numerous and coai p tested with the Oaiahas than with us. A man may marry any woman belonging to another gens, whether connected with him or not; though ma nage into his mother g-ns is aiso forb.dder. A man i cannot marry any woman to whom he is related by the Ceremony of the ralunict dancr. i mu tinies a mau may take the children ot bis deceased brother without their mother herself.
