has betided ns ever since, many years
ago, the Maine colony came to Jaffa.
Yon remember after we came we had a

Arabs cheated us most onmerdfully;
then we began to cheat one another—

and I like ’em—dhey’re kind and hospi
table-better behaved than many who
call themselves Christians in Jaffa.”
There are many manners and customs
in the east of to-dsy suggestive to the
Oriental customs in the Bible times. 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. He most walk that
way home, •;o matter how long the time
or the road is. The longer the time the
better it will he lor them to prepare the
bride.
"On the third morning the bride is

they paint her feet, hands, and other

Mrs. Alley then came down to current

Washington’s Love Aflklrs.
-■ y
Warlike sentiments on certain subjects
still lingered in the heart of Washington
on that peaceful morning one hundred
years ago when hq, resumed possession
of New York city. 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

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.'

ef the inhabitants, but tlfokgf looked
quite encouraging, as he was very mnch
was that Dwight had taken ont an
enormous amount of Insurance for the
benefit P( his boy and other relatives,
and with the deliberate intent to commit
suicide. 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.

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.—

[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

ment that society mast'make up its

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. A criminal is really far safer in
the dense populations of the cities than

Such a force should be organized fo

the larger cities. Ik members should
be carefully selected, with absolute free
dom from political interference. They
should serve for life, or aa long as they
were faithful and capable. They should
have a graded increase fo salary, or pro
motion, according to length of service
and snperior merit. They should be
well mounted, uniformed, thoroughly
instructed, and trail officered. They
should be pensioned for disability in the
service, or on retirement for honorable
cause, according to service. These re
quirements, which are of valne fo any
force, would be essential in this, because
of its peculiar nature, and the necessity
of securing the beet men at the most

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.”
