Lot us hear Mrs. Alley’s account of one of them >- "My neighbor made a contract of marriage for twenty napoleons four months ego. Since then he has given as mnch as four more in.presents to the mother of his intended bride to keep them to their bargain. That is the cus tom here among the Moslems, and the Christians are not much better. Last month he wished to get married. He is a poor man, and did not have much money by him, bntjie paid down, liefore witnesses, fifteen napoleons, and her father told him he should have his bride the next week. The poor man went to Jerusalem to buy the candles to illumi nate his bride when he took her home. Meantime comes the bride’s mother to our place and stands under my window. I ask her to come in. She thanks me, but will not. Neither will she sit down until sftgr great persuasion. Then comes the bridegroom’s mother. 'What is it yie bride's mother saksf 'Your eon thinks to marry my daughter. Does he think I am nobody V or 'Am I a slave to his father,’ and similar expressions. The bridegroom’s mother all this time is saying: ‘Oh I yon are the blessing to my houss, 1 have no other blessing but you on earth.’ She says this to avert the evil eye from her son. The other continues to say that the marriage shall only take plaee at the time and place that she [the bride’s mother] shall say, and that her girl is too young to marry. I say, Too ought to have thought of that before.’ We talk her down to tears, and then she sits down, talks the matter over and goes sway, the other still re peating, T have no blessing, only from you.’ - --r "After two or three days, the young man oomes from Jerusalem, bringing candles; two as. tad as a man, and two flat, short and wide, called ’hands,’ for the bride to take in her hands when she oomes out on the night of her marriage. Now the young man begins to rave and say they may take their girl, he won’t have her. ’Is there no other in Jaffa but her V 'No, he won’t have any one that troubles his mother.’ This he says to make all right with his mother. Then he goes to the bride's mother and car ries her something nice to eat to make her plsmsd with him, but he cannot see the bfidl until they am married, as it is not considered proper with the Moslems to speak with a girl before her marriage. The poor man is now waiting impatiently until such time as they are well satisfied to say 'take her.' Then be will pay the other five napoleons [$20] and call in the neighbors to make merry with him. Borne will bring drams, others the tfiil- baabee, or shepherd’s pipe, to make music as they dance, sing, and clap their hands, the women by themsolvce, and the men apart from them, in an other room or on the house-top. They keep this up three days. "On the afternoon of the third day the mends of the bridegroom [now he will have many], taka him to the bath, and he must pay all the bills for them. From there they take him to the moeque to pray. By this time it is 8 o'clock in the tuning, and they take him, a man to each arm, and lead him backward with Ms eyes shut.

The next day the people eall on the bride and carry her presents of money and sit with her. She treats her guests with opffee, the nargileh [wafer pipe], and cigar ettes. The ceremony is sadad." Mrs. Alley then came down to current news: "The people of this land are in dolent and slew to work; slow in every thing but stabbing. Give them a chance to steal and they will not stop to est or sleep, but will work fast then. While my neighbors here don’t steal from me, the Arab, as a rale, is a thief.

As he crossed 8puy- ten Duyvif Creek and made his way upon thojtdapd the night before he re ceived a message to tarry, as Sir Guy Oarleton was not yet embarked. So be directed his steps to a great imposing wooden house on Washington Heights, still standing and known as the Jumel plaee. This boose twenty-seven years before had been his Mecca. Hero he courted the beautifnl and wealthy Mary rhillipee; here for weeks he lingered in the light of her bine eyes; here he left her at hex father’s till he oonld hurry off and cap ture Fort Dnqnesne and come baok, and here at that fatal interval came Captain Morris and captured Mary Phillipse and married her before Washington’s return.. It was an awful lesson to the father ol his country and he resolved never to be caught out again in matters of that kind. It was the second blow; first the low land beanty, Miss Grimes, afterward mother of the Leelfamily, and then the faithless Mary. He had somewhat re covered from the jilting on this peaceful morning I speak of, for the Morris fam ily had largely multiplied by this tirbep bat the spot was still sore. Tradition / has it that he went over and sat again in ' the Phillipse parlors and meditated. ' * "Where is yonr master?’’ he inquired ' of a darkey on thg j^fijxh, concerning ^ his former rivaC - * "He goned wid the British, sah, wen de wsh fast brak ont,” said the humble servitor, "an’missiis she is crost de rib- her and is veiy porely, sah, and mahsa be was shot wen he was takin’ Fote Mold©tree down in Carliny, fo’ years ago. The visitor knew that well enongb, but he was fond of hearing it over again. / "Afcd, mahsa, dey dn say dat all this great fine estate heah is gwine to be oomfisoated by the devilish rebels. Dat can’t l>^, sah.” Washington evaded the question. But a year later the great fine estate was con fiscated and sold to Jnmel by the Gov ernment and Washington does not seem to have interposed to ssve it for Mary and the babies. He ought to have been grateful to her for teaching him snoh a noble lesson, for he learned i| so well that when Martha Onstis dawned on him he just sat down by her and didn’t let her get away from him. Bat she was a widow and perhaps I didn't want to get away. • "LITTLE ABE.” The fnllntpft taels were given by a gentleman wjkoaenred through the war and fo the company with "Little Abe," who is believed to have been the youg* not recall the name of the lad, who was known fo the army ■■ Little Abe, and who enlisted at Jeihnon bar racks, a short distance from St. Louis, Mo., May 1,1861, as a drummer at the age of 7 yean and 1 month. He be longed to Oompany E, Second United States Infantry, Captain, afterward Maj.-Gen. Steel. The reasons which in fluenced the acceptance of %o young a recruit was that his father was in the service and his mother dead. There were no relatives who oonld or would look after the boy, and so, with the consent of the army authorities, he was pat with his father in the army. Little Abe was s favorite with both officers and men. He displayed at all times the coolest bravery and utter ig norance of fear. His favorite position was in the front rank fo battle, and as soon as he saw a soldier fall disabled he would throw sway his dram, seise the mnsket of his fallen comrade and load and fire as coolly as the most hardened veteran, although his diminutive size and strength did not allow him toelevate the gun without some kind of s rest In the early part of his army experience, at one of the battles when the Union forces found it necessary to take up a position fo the rear, Little Abe got possession of a gun, and when the army was forced back, his dram was captured by the Confederates. He was reprimanded and told that when retreating if he oonld not carry it with him he should destroy it. Ever after this when in battle he saw a ohanoe to get a gun he smashed in the beads of his dram, and then devoted his whole time to his preferred employment of popping at the Rebs. At the close of a skirmish one day he waa found crying. Somebody inquired what troubled him, and received an explana tion to the effect that he had been on- able to find any gnn not in nse, so he had been nnable to have any'shooting. The men of Company E wanted to fit him out with a rifle made in accordance with his size, bnt the desire was not granted, as acoording to the regulations he must carry a dram. Little Ahe passed through the war without receiv ing a.wound, although alwaya in the front rank and in many engagements. Of his career since then nothing is known to the writer.—Iloston Globe. IRREPRESSIBLE TRAMPS. a Remarkable Case. The Dwight insurance suit, which was ended recently nt Norwich, N. Y., by a verdict against the Germania In surance Company, is one of the most re markable civil oases ever triid court. Had its incidents lieen narrated-in fiction they would have seemed too improbable for belief. Dwight was a prominent citizen of Binghamton, who had lieen a colonel in the war, had held public office and had been engaged iu various business eater- prises on a large scale. In the summer of 187&be heoame a bankrupt. About this time he applied for upward of three hundred thousand dollars’ insurance on his life in twenty odd companies. His application was refused by several, but he snooeeded in getting his life insured to the extent of two hundred and eighty- five thonsand dollars. Boon afterward his death was an nounced. One or two companies paid the claims against them; others refused to pay. Against one of the latter the suit that has been on trial for about a month in Norwich was brought by the executors.'

There was but one known wit ness of his death, and it was claimed that Dwight had hanged hunselD after arranging with this man to destrflx all evidence of the act. An autopsy was made immediately after the death, and long after burial the body was exhumed and a coroner’s inquest held. The testi mony of the physicians and other ex perts was conflicting. By some a crease found on the nock w/is attributed to the pressure of a cord and death to strangu lation ; others gave the opinion that this mark had been caused by the posi tion of the bead and that death waa not dno to violence. The companies also offered evidence of extraordinary oondnot on the part of Dwight, to show that he had purposely endangered his life by rash exposure and in other ways. The farther defence was made that the policies were void by reason of false representations which the deceased had made as to his health and habits. By its verdict the jury finds thjat Dwight did not commit snioide nor practice fraud upon the companies. It is not likely, however, that thia verdict will be acquiesced fo if there is any ground on which it can be set aside.— New York Herald. [From Hatpwfe Weekly.] The cruel and almoet fooonerivably ferocious murder of Mia. Maybee and bar daughter fo s little village ef Long Island, and other equally mysterious murders whioh have lately shocked the* community, have brought the problem ol the "tramp” before the country in the most startling manner. Every one familiar with rural or village life oan readily understand the conditions which make each deeds not only possible, bat, within not very long periods, almost certain. The scattered population, the isolated dwellings, the peaceful habits, the want of any organised or efficient police, with the existence of a class of wanderers, idle or half idle, and often criminal, spreading themselves over the country—there are the elements of the situation from which spring with con siderable regularity petty thieving, out rage, assault, burglary, highway rob- bery, and murder, most of which go un detected and unpunished. "Tramps,” for the greater part, are the overflow from city life. Their ranks ore recruited from the virions, the lasy, and the unfortunate, who, driven from the haunts of organised society and the police, become, se their characters sod habits incline them, beggars, thieves, or csiminala. The greater number are simply idlere, strolling from place to place, begging a dinner here, a break fast there, a lodging in some onthouse, or sleeping a la belle etoile, and living on the pilferings of hen roosts or corn fields. These are merely the drones of the great human hive, who drag out fo filth and disorder their miserable lives. But with these are the men of criminal instincts and habits, fired with brutal lust, hungry with the greed born of dis sipation and drink, reckless of life, their own ordfhera’, and trained trr the terri ble school of aalf-indnlgenoe of our large towns. Woe to those who may meet them in the lonely ways^ or may extend to them the hand of efcariiy I Their trail across the woods and fields is marked with crime too horrible to de scribe, in eomparison with whioh murder itselljs lees terrible. And it Is to one pf thcee^hqt the rustic household may at any moment be opened when the ragged costume, the- unshaven face, the sun burned hands, of the sturdy beggar ap pear at the door. It is with this ele ment that society mast'make up its mind to deal The obvious weapon with which to deal with it is police force. The average vil lage or country community will shrink from this. The suggestion to them means an organized force of bine-coats, with sergeants and captains, and the omniscient and generally useless detec tives. Bnt this is not necessary. What is needed is a small force of-monpted men, young, active,) alert, with jnst enough organization to enable them to act together, and enongh discipline to secure fidelity. Their chief function would be prevention rather than either detection or arrest. Patrolling the country roads freqnently and rapidly, keeping a constant watch on suspicions persons, appearing often in the more secluded and exposed places, they could soon make it extremely dangerous for the criminal classes. An intimate and familiar knowledge of all persons with legitimate occupation is easily acquired in country neighborhoods, and that solves one-half the difficulties of police work.

The Springfield Republican says :— "Yea, Pete would be a fine workman," said Deo Crocker, in whose repair shop on the Hill Peter Fortin hod done many an odd job, "if he’d only let drink alone. Yon see, I waa fixing np a chair oataide there t’other day, and Pete was working here in the shop. I had a pint bottle ot eorroatve sublimate dissolved in alcohol, which I put on the chair to kill the moths. When I brought the chair in here Pete began sniffing. Pretty soon says he, iWhat’s on this chair, Mr. Crocker?' ‘Oh, aloohol,’ says I, and, patting the bottle on the shelf there, I went onteide and never thought any mare about it. PatA had been moping and mam all the morning, and I knew he >wanted stimulant, bat it never entered my head that he'd fool with that bottle. Pat all of a sadden he rushed to the door robbing hk hands np and down on his belly, and cried oat, ‘Mr. Crocker, what did yon say was in that bottle?’ The land’s sake!’ I cried, 'Poison, Pete, deadly poison. Yon don’t mean to My you’ve been drinking itf 1 have, I have,’ says he, 'I tasted of il’ Well, I tell you, I was soared, and when I looked at the bottle I raw that half of it was gone. ‘What under the canopy, Peter, were yon thinking of? Yoa’ve drank half of that poison. Pete, yon "re s dead man.’ When I said that,.he, joafcdoubled np on the floor, and I tell yon he groaned. I told mj wife to poR milk down him, and then ran for the doctor. Well, all that afternoon the dootor kept poaring raw eggs down Pete’s throat and feeding him from a vial that he had. Pete’s stomach rejected the eggs ss fast as he took ’em, bat they absorbed the prison. I did think one time that Pete was a goner.” 3MPILDU (Mump Siv Wilts.
