Our rule is not so revolutionary as it seems.

A Bedouin chief named Hassan Mourad was on one occasion proceed ing to rejoin the tribe, from an excur sion to a distant place. He was ac companied by his wife and two chil dren. He himself was mounted on a splendid Arab steed, given him in re turn for some signal service during a journey of great peril. His wife was mounted upon a camel. One child reposed in her arms; the elder one rode behind her, clinging to the huge saddle to whose bows hung the large _ cookingjtnd^drinking vessels that were gratory movements. The Bedouin divided his praises between the spirit of his horse, the docility and sagacity of his camel, and the beauty of his wife, who belonged to a tribe superior to his own. The little family continued its way for some time without encountering any danger. They were fortunate in obtaining supplies ol water; and un like the generality of the Bedouins (who, strange to say, never profit by experience), they did not content themselves with a scanty supply of water at each oasis, but filled their skins and vessels to the very mouth.— It was on the afternoon of the sixth day of their journey that they merged from a broad unvaried plain of burn ing sand, upon a hilly district—the mptiBids aqd acclivities here and there covered with stunted shrubs and a few bushes of tamarisk- Presently descried a little hillock which to afford an inviting shade, and a con venient refuge for their evening’s re past. The children were fatigued; and it was accordingly determined to rest there for an hour. Towards the mound they according ly adranced. But suddenly the gal lant steed, of purest Godolpliin breed, reared in affright, and neighed in a manner that instantly struck terror to the little family. Slmost at the same moment the camel emitted a peculiar sound of distress and agony, and fell upon her knees. The mother and her two children were thrown off by this unexpected movement and abrupt stoppage. The Bedouin grasped his rifle—also a present from the traveler above alluded to,—and at that in stant a terrible rour thundered ovefc the desert, raising the echoes of every hillock and mound within an exten sive circuit. Only a few feet in ad vance of the little party,—and in a spacious cavern beneath the very hil lock whose shade was to have protect ed them during their meal,—an enor mous lion was preparing to spring upon his prey. A terrible scream came from the lips of the affrighted mother; and the children dung to her in breathless alarm. The Bedouin did not, how ever, lose his ’ presence *4 mind.— Scarcely had he unslung bis when thp tremendous animal bounded through the air, and fell upon the camel’* back. Iu an instant—imd be fore the report of the rifle* was heard— the sand was dyed with blood—the teeth of the lion were buried in the poor animal’s flesh—-and a piteous wail, almost resembling that of a hu- S? acnesnin^ over sev- In “ Horae and Society” Scribner’s Monthly, for June, makes a strong point in the right direction for Wo men’s Rights of the right kind, by say ing : We have in mind two among the most agreeable women we have ever met, both in manners and genera] cul tivation, who are fitted personally to adorn any drawing room, and who can converge intelligently on any subject which may be broached there, but who are not in general society, in the town where they live, simply because one of them is u dressmaker and the other a milliner. Both devote their evenings to reading and study; they travel, they hear the best music, and are familiar with the best thoughts of the day ; aud to the few who are really acquainted with them they are valued friends.— But they are not often invited—be cause nobody thinks of it. Can socie ty afford to do without such women as these? And their case is not e*eep- man being, cime from the throat of tional. It is true that there are scores of young girls in our shops whose breeding and whole appearance are very questionable, and who could.r\ot eh hours in summer, or eight in win ter ; the attempt to force more on the system by t nap in the day-time, or a “ second nap” in the morning readers the whole of the sleep disturbed and imperfect. 5.

It is often speedily reme died by kneading the abdomen with the ball of the hand, skin to skin, from one side to another, from the lower edge of the ribs downwards, because the accumulated air is forced on and outwards along the alimentary cauul. 6. When you return to your house from a long walk or warm rooni, do not remove a single article of clothing until you have taken a cup or more of some kind of warm drink. 7. In going into a colder atmos phere keep the mouth dosed, and walk with sufficient rapidity to keep off a childliuess. 8. Two pairs of thiu stockings will keep the feet warmer than one pair of a greater thickness than both. 9. The “ night-sweat” of disease comes on toward daylight; their death- ey ly clamminess and coldness is greatly modified by sleeping in a single loose, long woolen shirt. 10. The man or woman who drinks a cup of tea or coffee, or other stiniu- laut in order to aid in the better per formance of any work or duty, public or private, is a fool, because it is to the body and brain an expenditure of what is not yet got—it is using power in advance, and this can never be done, even once, with impunity. 11. The less a man drinks of any thing in hot weather the better, for the mure we drink the more, we want to drink, until even ice-water palls and becomes of a metalic taste; hence, the longer you can put off drinking cold water on the morning of a hot day, the better you will feel at night. 12. Drinking largely at meals, even of cold water or simply teas, is a mere habit, and is always hurtful. No one should drink at gny one meal, more than a quarter of a pint of any liquid, even of cold water, for it always re tards, impairs and interferes with a healthful digestion. 13. If you sleep at all in the day time, it will interfere with the sound ness of your sleep at night, much less, if the nap be taken in the afternoon. 14. A short nap in the day-time may be necessary to some. I jet it uot exceed ten minutes; to this end sleep with the forehead resting on a chair- rifle,! bac k or ci?e of a table. 15.

Ninth. The doctrine of Great Britain and other European powers concerning allegiance— “ Once a sub ject always a subject”—having at last, through the efforts of the Republican party, been abandoned, and the Am erican idea of the individual right to transfer allegiance having been accept- - . # - 7 ;v ed by European nations, it is the duty j °PP°sed to it coalition with either wing of the Radical party, believing as we pression to their views as to the policy our party should pursue in the Balti more Convention. As I do not know that their pro ceedings will be furnished for publica tion, I send you a few extracts from their Resolutions, which will be suffi cient to show your readers how our people stand on the Cincinnati move: Resolved 2nd. * * * “ That we instruct our delegates to the Atlanta Convention to vote for men to attend the Baltimore Convention, who are in favor of a straight out Democratic ticket.” Resolved 3rd. “ That we are utterly of our Government to guard with jeal ous care the right of adopted citizens against assumption of unauthorized claims by their former Government, and we urge continued careful encour agement and protection of voluntary immigration.

Twelfth. We hold that Congress and, the President have on|y,|ul£Ueg do, that the success of either would be no remedy ior the wrongs that now af flict our country.” But enough. You find but little Greeleyism in these resolutions—fully as much, though I think, as you could expect from such an old Democratic county as this. Should the Baltimore Convention fail to make a nomination—some of our best men will vote for Greeley if they can defeat Grant by doing so—hut 1 am confident that all want a good old- fashioned Democratic fight-—believing that is the only plan to preserve the unity of our party. Very respectfully, Democrat. P. S. The names of our delegates to tbe ( Atlanta Convention are Johi. W. Osbofn,' Dr. A. W. Brawner, ,8, H. Moseley, R. D. Yow, B. P. Vandiver, L. Tribble, A. J.
