The liquid is thick and brownish-black, with a light- colored froth on top, nud it is delicious. After the coffee is drank, at the bottom of the cup remains aoout three teaspoon- fuls of sediment that is like thick mud and isthe coffee deposit.

It is decidedly a lazy man's smoke, as the tebucco is very mild and half an hour is required to get half a smoke, and how long a pipe will last no one knows. An tour and a half is as long as I have smoked on one, and then it was pufling away better than ever. It may take an invelerile smoker to enjoy one of these water pipes, but when the inveterate docs get one he obtains a real treat after he has got the hang of it and does not tire himself out drawing too hard. Smoking a narghileh differs from other kinds of smoking in that the smoke all goes throush the water be- low and is thus puritied, and also in the method, because in place of short pulfs is substituicd a deep breatia, aud the smoke is taken into the li not possible to smoke the ny a pipe is smoked, so that tho: to inhale tobaceo should never tits water-pipe, led the winch ms a very propriaie, loo, Ib Ox- presses Lhe nowe made by @ separtte bubbles as they rise to the surface of the water from the bottom: of the verieal pipe that leads up tie tobacco, The natives tuke their colfee and a strong pull at this pipe, which is a regu- tar piece of furniture. as soon as they get up in the morning, and seem to avep at it all day, too. ‘They claim, also, that the narghileh is good for colds, and they veserve credit for hav- ing found an agreeable thing that is good for any ailment, and that will re- place fried onions aruund the neck of the unfortunate soul with the cold. The cafe isas great an institution with the people of the Orient as it is with the French, and the warm climate makes the shaded out-door tables the popular ones, and they are crowded all day, whether along the Mohammed Al square and in tne crowded business places or in the back alleyways where the visitors sit or recline on cane-bot- tomed lounges and meditatively draw long draughts of peace. Where all these men get a living is a mystery, as thousands of them seem to do nothing all day but drink coffee and staoke.

In the January Century Professor Sloane, formerly private secretary of Bancroft, tells by authority the story of the meeting of Bancroft and Goethe, Schleiermacher and Byron. We quote as follows: ‘The American squadron was lying at the time in the harbor of Leghorn, and Bancroft was invited by the commodore to meet Byron aboard the flagship. There were present only a few other Americans, among them the consul at Tunis. with his wite and sev- eral ladies’) _ When the poet, accom- panied by his host and the principal officers of the fleet, came up the com- panionway, his countenance imme- diately fell at the sight of the ladies among the new arrivals, thinking prob- ably that they were Englishwomen whc had taken advantage of the opportunity to spy him out. But on learning that they were Americans he at once re- covered his cheerfulness, and was most approachable. Tn fact, when the con- sul's wife laughingly said that her chil- dren would want some proof that she had scen Lord Byron, she was permit- ted to take the rose from his buttonhole. Before leaving, the nobleman’s secre- tary invited. Bancroft in his masters’ name to visit Monte Nero. So intense was the enthusiasm for Byron among the officers of the fleet that when he was rowed ashore one captain manned his yard-arms and fired a salute, but the commodore, feeling that the guest of the — no pusition which warranted so fu good ial a greeting, allowed it to go no . Shortly at Bancroft wrote a note to ask if be might call at Monte Nero ana received a pleasant, lively reply. Byron's reception of his guest was cordial, He was simply but carefully dressed, and during the break- fast talked of Jeffrey and the bitter at- tacks of the Edinburgh Heview. His eye was bright and bis manner animat- ed, but without bitterness or rancor. He seemed intensely interested in Goe- the, and asked many questions about him.

A factory in this city has, during the past ten months, turned out fifteen million comic and five million senti- mental valentines. With such advan- tages practical jokers and lovers will have plenty of material with which to work on February 14, Valentine's birth- day. The former prevalent eustom of venting a petty spite by sending a comic valentine has comparatively died out in the eastern and middle states. West of the ippi river the valen- tine has, howe a ready sale, Irecently paid a visit to the above- mentioned factory. ‘The many opera- tions through which toy-books and valentines pass before they are ready to be delivered to the retailer are interest- ing. The first floor of the factory is oc- cupied by paper-cutting and embossing machines. The paper on which valen- tines are printe! is received from the manufacturer direct, and is not in con- dition for use. It must be cut in pieces, 4x2 1-2 feet, and on which are stamped sixteen comic valentines. After being eur, the paper is tuken to the second floor and printed. Taree bundred out of the four hundred employes in the actory are wonien and girls. While of the work is done by mabor, some deparimenis are operated wholiy by machinery. Ou the sixth or top floor baif a dozen artists draw the pictures used in vaten- liaes and toy books. After a s and photographed the ne is coated with a solution i to the sun. The negative ed, this time with hihog placed in a basin of water barely decp enough to cover it The ink is washed off, except that part of the plate on which the drawing has been photo- graphed. The negative is then ready tor the etcher. The etching process is too well known to bear repeating here. After the drawing has been etched on a zine plate it Is ready for the press. The operation by which rough zinc is made smooth is interesting. The zinc is placed under movable emery papers, which are charged half-bourly. These papers vary from hard to soft. The constant friction of the emery wears away the zine, so that in time it be- comes xs smooth as glass. Seven pa- pers, differing in qu nd thickness, are used in the operation. Supt. Thompson estimated that the firm owned 150,000 steel and zine plates. Jt must not be supposed that a valentine can be struck off complete by one impression. In some cases valen- tines pass throuch no less than a dozen impressions. Each impression adds a different shade or color to the picture. ‘Take for example « drawing of a ma- chinist at work. The man’s hat is red, his face and arms are pink, his hair and mustache are blue, with a tinge of black, and apron and table are yellow. the trousers green, while his shoes are blue, with a tinge of black. Sentimental valentines are made of fancy paper and satin. The plates pass through the same process as comic. The handsome, highiy perfumed valen- tines, which the languishing swain pays from 33 to $5 for, ave hand-paint- ed, or, 2s the superintendent said, touched up, The touching-up consists of artistically daubing paint here and there about the outer surface of the val- entine. These hasty strokes result in flowers, pictures descriptive of the bill- ings of turtle doves, and pastoral scenes. Tue valentine firm employs a poet, to whom it pays a weekly salary. This genius writes yards upon yards of poetry (?) daily. The firm's production of comic valentines this year include 2,- 00 different designs and the same num- ber of original verses. The has within the past six months written 2,- 000 comic verses, in addition to 500 verses of sentimental poetry. It is said that valentine poetry is difficult to write, and if this be true the composer of 2,500 verses averaging each, is entitled to no little tion.

All were stri y different fromany nest of a bird, such as is found in s@ exposed a position; none being openabove, nor having the materials for linings such as our thrushes und larger tinches are accustomed to use. Otthe series thirty-one were placed in dense tangles of Similaz rotund fa, or gteen-brier. None were near the up- per or ouyr edgesof the thicket, buat usually abuut one third the distance fromits uppermost surface, snd = mid- wayfrom side to side; for instance, if the growth was ten feet high and six or eight in width, the home of the mouse would be at an elevation of between six and seven feet; and it had therefore a protecting growth of thorny smilax of threeto four fectin extent above it, and nearly the same upon each side. This was a very uniform feature of the series examined, and, if the mice merely occupy old nests of birds, ind:- cates a aniformity in the matter of their locating by tue birds, of which 1 was not aware, and which Iam inclined to doubt. in, the smiiax was so very dense or closely intertwined. in the majorit of instances, that it was clearly impossi- ble fora bird as large asa robin or grosbeak to have penetrated it with that celetity of movement necessary to es- capd the impetuous’ charge of a hawk.

Abbott, in Kopular Sevence Mouth y. ——__+-=___—_. A Colored Journalist. nt of the New Among the Paris A Paris correspon York Graph ¢ wrne: journalists wi recently “goue over to the majority y be mentioned Felix Belly and Victor Cochinat, a man of color. ‘The former is said to have owned his start in live toa pun on his name, When Belly was introduced to Dr. Veron, the laiter replied to a request for employment that the positions on the Constlutionnel were all filed and. that there was no room for the aspirant to journalistic honors. Roqueplan, who had chaperoned Belly on the occasion, remarked to the editor-in-chief timt he ought not to lose xn opportunity of en- livening his somewhat heavy. columns and that the engagement of his friend would have that effect. **How so?” asked Vernon. “Why, in that case you could print every day at the bottom of the fourth page. ‘Belly, gerant’ (belligerent), bel- ligerant.” *“Gerant,” is the technical term for “manager.” Veron laughed, and promised to give the gentleman with the warlike name a chance to distinguish himself. An in urable nighthawk, this dusky “homme de leitress’” was always the last to leave the crinking-shop in tue Faubourg Montmartre most frequented by the reporters and editors of the news- papers in the neighborhood. Cochinat could never be induced to leave the place until the waiters were putting ‘up the last shutter, and he thus gained the sobriquet—suggested, doubtless, by hig West Indiau birth—of ‘Toussaint is Fermeture.” It was while contributing to the /'etit Journal that Cochinat spent the hap- piest years of his iife. An active news- gatherer, he knew how to please his editor—a remunerative faculty that se- cured him a handsome salary. He came out especially strong on the occasion of celebrated trials, attending all the sit- tings of the court, and giving to his re- rts a peculiar and racy flavor. The ‘Tropmann murders were rich placers for the law reporters, and when tne bodies were discovered in the Langlois field all Paris was paralyzed. the dailies devoting three entire columns out of their total of sixteen or twenty to the harrowing details. As the reporters had all netted small fortunes from the case, they made it a- point to goto see Tropmann hanged. On the way back Cochinat met Nazet, of the Gauiois. Taking him by the arm, and in a Voice tremulous with emotion, the witty scribe remarked: “My dear fellow, we have lost - him.” The best mot { have heard attributed to this sable journalist was his reply to a celebrated member of the bar, and one of the ugliest meu in Paris.
