THE NEW AND ELEGANT
—HIGH ARM—
THE ROMANTIC OYBIN.
Cnkiiswii ami t’n«UM**» i»*«i iijr Ilia Ordi

In spite of riii* fivl tint In tfie npln-
Ion of a local chronicler. ‘the literature
of the Oybln 11 tin* richest possessed
by any Knrnpeuti nimiutun, save and
except Vesuvius, - * scarcely a word has
been written upon this strange, roman*
tic and weird spot by any English
writers. ,
It is, like the fortresses of Uoslg and
liefggteht, still unknown ground to
life ordinary traveler; and Its wondrous
ruins, perched high in air, amidst the
wild fantastic rocks, rarely echo to the
sound of an English tongue. The life
led upon this pillared, forest height has
strangely alternated between horrid
deeds of devilry and religion, lltobbeir
knight and monk hire in turns held
possession of this stronghold; but now
its ruins vise in picturesque strength,
half hidden by the solemn pities, and
shelter but the historian, or arclueolo-
glst, or plensure-loviug traveler.
The approach to tin* 0/IHn from tho
main road leading out of Zittaij forms
a pleasant drive through villages that
lmvo prosperity stamped on every line
ament. The little groups of well-
dressed, well-shod children tramp in
lines of two-and-two to school, the boys
lending the way, and the girls following
with woolen hemjdmwes of every hue,
Iboir faces bright and ruddy, and their
knapsacks at their hacks. The houses
are well lmilt and picturesque, with
dark timber beams, and nestle amid
flowering fruit trees and graceful wav
ing birches upon slopes of rich pas
ture.
Factories of silk and cloth, and oil
mills, dot here and there the landscape,
and prove the fact that factory life
need not be passed amid hideous sur
roundings; the great lines of flax
spread out on the bload green fields
seem also to add life and change to the
scene.

An Arabian writer relates the fol*
•lowing incident rta having ♦v.ev.rwnl at
the lime of the total destruction of
the ancient Arabian tribe of .India, who
inhabited Vemama, Central Arabia,
not very long after the confusion of
tongues at I label. They hail been
shamefully tyrannised over by the king
of their kindred tribe, Tasm, mid at
length hud treacherously avenged their
wrongs by (lie extermination of their
tyrants. One noble of that tribe had
escaped the massacre, and had Jour
neyed to Yemen, (our Arabia Felix.)
lie presented himself to the llimyerlte
king of that country, and prayed him
to avenge Tnsm by the destruction of
.ledjB. The king consented, marshalled
iiis forces, and set out from Yemen.
'Arrived at a distance of three days'
march from Yemama, the refugee
noble of Tavm inf«mnc«l the king that
.a sister of ids, mnrrh*d to a cliiefta\fi
.at Jedis, and then living In Yemama,
was possessed of so acute a power of
vision as to lie able to distinguish a
horseman at the distance of three days'
Journey. lie therefore suggested that
the king should command his troops
to pluck up by the roots, every man,
a young tree from a forest they had to
pass through, and carry this before
'him, so ns to hide the advancing host
.and mask it from his sister's piercing
glance. The order was given and each
man of the army plucked up a treo,
carrying it In front of him. The quick*
.eyed lady, however, from an out-look
on her housetop, saw the advancing
ivood. Sharply scrutinizing it, and dis
tinguishing behind the foliage one iiian
,*'who was nibbling a blndehone or
soling a sandal," she Informed tlio
townsmen of what she saw. They took
no uotlco of her warning. The army
advanced, surprised the town, slaugh
tered all the men, and made captives
of the women and children. Thus the
tribe was extirpated. Tills story was
written in the year that Is exactly
half-way to the present date, MB plus
PI'i equals 1880 A. D.: and the* question
x^turatly arises,* Is thoro any mcdlrc-
•v’al channel known to seekers, after
folklore, by which this incident could
4iavo become known to the writer of
" Macbeth," or to any monkish citron-
Mclcr through whom the llirnam Wood
story may hnve been banded down.
Macbeth’s death and Malcolm Can-
moro'a accession tn A. I). 1057, was so
long anterior to the Crusades, that tfc is
not likely Him Eastern story had reached
Scotland or England. If the llirnam
Wood incident really occurred, it \vns
a surprising coincidence; mid if it was
n monkish embellishment, it would bo
interesting to trace tlio story from
tho East, if possible.

Ono of the prevalent impressions
regarding the fashions is that thny art*
created and started by n syndloato of
the'great dressmaltors of Paris act lug
in concert; hut thi» impression is an
erroneous ona. Thera are some live or
cix lemming tlreannaUcrs who strain
overy tnventlvw faculty that they poa-
seas to produce lioveliica, most of them
twice a year, and Worth continuously
throughout, tho season. For Worth
still remains without a rival as tho
groat arlUUc dressmaker of the world.
It was 1m, for injstausr, that invented
tke exquisite HUIe wraps ’compounded
of colored velvet and black laco ami
oolopad bead embrohlorios and fringes.
,lle brought them out two years ago,
and they have just made their appear
ttneo in tho cloak depart moats of tho
Bon Maroho and the Louvre. It was
ho that Introduced black laco dresses,
and that devised the long plush palotot
<s a ball wrap. Ills Influence is goner-
ally extended over the world of evening
dress and of gorgeous materials and
artistic blending of colors. Sometimes
a single unforeseen event will have tj
powerful effect on the world of fash
ion. Thus tlio deaths of tho kings of
Spain ami of the Baroness de Roths
child induced Um creation of now and
boautloms tluts of purple for the half
mourning Unit then bcoumo the fash
ion. Long years ago the overt hrow of
tho empire of MaximUiau in Mexico
brought about the suppression of a
new and splendid slmdoof yolloNv,which
had just been created and had been
christened " Mexico." The failure of
tho effort to seat tho Count de Cham*
Lord on the throne In like manner led
to the disappearance of a peculiar and
very rich dark l>)uc, which had boon
prepared and named “ royal blue ’* iu
anticipation of that event.

A Royal RaRrsad Car.
When the Emperor William travels ,
every possible measure Is taken to pro
vide for his comfort. Tho Emperor’s 1
special train consists of three' saloon
ciu-ringcs, connected with each other ,
by a covered way. The imperial car
riage proper is hung with blue dmnulr,
and at otto end there Is a small com
partment In which tho Emperor likes
to stand at the window when nu’ting
short journeys. A small saloon nc.it
to hh coupe contains a sofa and a
spring seat, opposite which is the
Emperor's camp bed.
Near tho saloon Is the study, tn which
stands a desk with writing materials,
whose appearance shows good wear.
Upon a bracket above tho desk Is a
small model of the Column of Victory
in Berlin. Adjacent to the study is a
dressing-room, lit ted up with extreme
care and good taste. A Until room con
tains two small sofas, a loaf table and a
large mirror. "With the Emperor's own
cavrlnge Is a enrrigo for his suite, and
this Is, of course, quite differently litted
up. It contains live or six npnrlinents,
each containing a table ami two small
couches. All the rooms are connected
by telegraph with the Emperor’s apart
ments. The carriages are provided
with gas throughout.
ndtttc.l Tears.
In Persia they bottle up their tears
as of old. This is done in tho following
manner. As the mourners arc sitting
around mid weeping tho master of cero-
tnonles presents e leh ono with a piece
of cotton wool, with which he wipes
off his tears. The cotton Is afterward I
squeezed into a bottle, and the tears
arc preserved as a powerful an.I etU-
curious remedy for reviving a dying
man after »wrv other hum ns have !
