In Egypt dogs nro never permitted to enter tbe dwelling of n Mohammedan, and if one Is found In a mosque he is Immediately put to death. In consequence of this excommunica- ( tlon from the society which this animal seems so Instinctively disposed to cultivate, Egyptian dogs live, for the most part, in the open air, feeding upon garbage and any other filth that chance throws In their way. Yet they are found to be fnlthful protectors of the property and even persons of the very men by whom they are thus de- ' spitefully treated, although, Sotilnl remarks, It Is extremely curious to see the pains taken by a Mussulman and j a dog when they happen to meet to | avoid coming In contact with each other. Notwithstanding this state of ' persecution, dogs are remarkably ( numerous In the towns of Egypt. The species is a large one, about the size nnd make of the greyhound. As a -I proof of the Mohammedan prejudice ] against this useful animal, It is sufllclent to state that they regard the terms Christian and dog as synony- -1 mous?both, of course, in the most op- ] probrions sense. i As a singular contrast for their dislike for dogs, the Egyptians have ever held cats in greatest veneration, nnd in ' ancient time even worshiped them. And historians tell us that Bubastis ' and AtribeB, two towns in Egypt, the former a votary of cats and the latter of mice, contracted on that account so ' strong an antipathy to each other that the inhabitants were never known to intermarry, although only a few miles asunder. In some parts of India, too, ^ we are told, they have a similar reverence for grimalkin, as the only crimes punished capitally there are the mur- ! der of a man and a cat.?New Orleans Times-Democrat. I KIALo Uh DIPLOMATS. Thcr Were Mnnj- In the Knrly Dnyi of American Hintory. There exists a popular tendency to overrate the delights and to underrate the hardships of the diplomatic life; but. however much opinions may differ on this point, there can be no doubt that the olHce of an American diplomatist in the days of the Revolution was 110 holiday pastime. If lie was not already in Europe, his journey to his post was beset with perils graver than those of the elements. In the eyes of the British law American revolutionists were simply "rebels," the reprobation of whose conduct was likely to be proportionate to their prominence and activity, and the seas were scoured by British cruisers, the dreaded embodiment of England's maritime supremacy.
