The old sailor hauled off his cap, stowed it under his arm, let ont a quart or so of tobacco Juice, and then hauled out from inside his shirt @ letter covered with foreign pestage stamps and domestic dirt. «I'd like to go ashore, sir, to eee about thi« letter,” he ‘im reply. “Let's see, your name is Hardin, isn’t it.

THE CORAL-SNAKE. Nothing is needed in a tropical forest toob- tain hospitable admission to that great theatre in which is played sometimes comedy and some- Himes tragedy ‘most direful; that mighty play- a q house, built and warmed and painted wi | glory ‘of loveliness by the imperial sun at teeming Mother earth; the theatre in which man’s presence is an accident and an intrusion; in which, if perceived, it overclouds the mirth and gives the tragedy a different climax. The “mountains of old stone,” as these ancient sepulchres are called by the natives, are always filled with living things—rabbits, armadilloes, iguanas, snakes and Siges- cate. wen King -Faguar himself does not disdain to abide there, ifhecan find a hole big enough to stretch his huge carcass in. Ihad not long to wait, there- fore, before the curtain rose on a scene in the forest-drama which has been, and is performing night and day from time to eternity. “Tweety. tweety,” ty @ “guataso,” or jungle-rabbit, poking hus droll head from @ hole in the overthrown cairn. The short forelegs followed the head, then the round, sleek bo-ly, and the long, kangaroo-like quarters. Merrily he hopped about, hither and thither, now nib- | bling the tendrils of a‘vine,” now scratching at a root with his long claws.’ There is no fun- nier animal in the jungle than a guataso, unless it bea monkey or a raccoon, nor, indeed, is there any better eating. I was alrea‘ly engaged in compuiation whether the big rabbit in hand might not be a safer speculation than a deer in | the savanna, when the little fellow suddenly ut | tered a ery of alarm and bounded homeward. Arrived at his hole, however, he did not enter atonce but raised himself on his hind legs to reconnoitre the enemy. \ dreadtul enemy it was. Like a long, polished necklace of jet and cora and pearl in alternate beads, the pursuer ap- peared, a living jewel thatsparkled and vanish | ed among the stones and fleshy leaves. The | head, enameled in black and scarlet, was halt raised as he slowly wound along, and the eyes, smail and rather dim, were fixed upon his vic- tim. Beautiful rather than terrible he must huave seemed to one who had never seen his like before. Slender in shape and so richly yet tastefully colored, he reminded one of some antique ornament that Cleopatra or Semiramis might have worn round her dusky throat when sitting in state upon her throne. But I knew the cteath that lay beneath the beauty: I recog- nized at a glance the terrible ‘coral snake. ’ ‘ow, 1 thought, is the opportunity to watch this process of fascination of which men tell, it, indeed, it be a real truth! Sarely no snake living has such occasion to use it as a clumsy corale in chase of a healthy guatuso. For ail his grace and color, this is the most helpless of reptiles in taking prey, and, while watching the slow movements of the deadly snake, 1 could not but wonder what the cause of his inactivity might be. Puta young corale of two feet long— he becomes stumpy afterward—beside a rat- tlesnake or a ‘tuboba,”’ his body seems as lithe and powerful as theirs: sip off Ins jeweled skin, the muscles are as symetrical. “Yet the | rattlesnake or the tuboba, or any serpent that | exists, is a hundred times more active, an] | therefore more dangerous to other animal “Now for the fascination!” I thoaght, when | the corale came fairiy out, gliding with a slow | and labored motion, and carrying its head high- | er than do most serpents.

When within fifteen inches of tue guatuso, acorale’s leap, he seemed to pause, as itating @ spring, but next instant his crawling was resumed. Then the mother’s instinct showed itself stronger than any thought of safety. With afaint cry that seemed to bid her mate a last fi gnatulo plunged into the recess, and the lonz Jeweled body of the snake flashed after her.

When I went home thatnight, Gasty, dear child, played all my pet Offenbach music, and I knew I was in for te dress, only I wanted to bold out till morning, just for the look of the thing. “ For tive yearsatter we were married,” said Squi Mrs. S. woald_ persist in looking ander the bed for a man.

The great desire of the gentiemen who come to Egypt is the dancing-girl. If it were put to the vote. most of would prefer herto the Pyramids. if not the Nile. Even the moral zi is, the oldest and coldest, cannot forego this it of temptation; so they get themselves earnestly assured by their dragoman, or, better still, by some gentlemen of acknowledged high character—if possible from Boston—that there is really nothing in her performance which wonld call ablusb,etc. It is better still if Mr. High eharacter gravely assures them that in fact he found it very stupid andthe Ghawazi | Very ugly. Allof this is most thankfully ac- | cepted, for, admitting it in full, the dancers are still improper—which has a charm beyond beauty or grace; and however good a man may be, he is seldom willing to admit did he not see it, and knows nothing directly about it. Hard- gned worldings who frequent the regular ballot | © are not so deeply disgusted with the (inazien, nor do they find her so altogether stupid or #3 invariably ngly. Most of the dancing of the Ghawazi is indif- ferent enough. It Is, however, remarkable that what skill they do exhibit, even under these circumstances, is seldom appreciated; for the dullest of them generally affect muscular feats, such as one never sees in the west, yet which are not cirectly perceptible. They ali seem to have the power of moving any part of the body freely, just as certain persons can move their ears; and it is wonderful how they will continae to agitate every muscle in the most violent and | rapid manner for hours, quivering from to foot as if electr without being in least fatigued, and wh: incredible, without perspiring. I only once saw in the awai dancing, whica was, of native gentlemen, and of Ku- ad been many years in th ad full opportunities of judging, ysuperior and artistic character. his was iirgeb. There were two girls, one quite pretty i young, the other less attractive, but rather the better dancer. There daicing girls were dressed ia long skirts, one over the other, reaching to the an- kle, the upper garment being of a whitish yel- low or reduish color. ‘The bouy and arms w clad In a very dark, tightly-fitting chemise, with white stripes, half an inch broad, ab: two inches apart, looking tiger-like. Over t was worn a very tight jacket of red satin, very short in the waist, with tight short sleeves. On their heads were curiously-shaped eaps, and their hair hung in long braids. Around the waist was a silver girdle with high bosses, and dependent from it in loops was a very curious ornament or chain, made of eight or ten t gular stiver boxes, and many large silver b: A profusion of gold necklaces, coins, and other ornaments hung from the neck and head. Uther Ghawazi at dittercnt towns wore dresses very different from this. At one place their gar- ments were of black from head to foot, with silver stripes, while the braids of hair’ were very prettily made, terminatinj: in many silvei balis. At Stoat 1’ saw one whose only or: ments were an incredible quantity of goid coins of all sizes, The first dancing of all Ghawazi is simply moving about to the music and undalating the bedy. “Then waves of motion are made to ran from bead to foot, and over these waves pass with incredible rapidity the riyples and thrills, as you have seen it billow in a breeze look like a smalier sea d with a thousand wave lets. All is done in perfect time with the ma- sic. Then the air changes and there is a varia- tion in the dance. ‘The girl stops—she becomes immovable below the body and moves only the body above, rocking and swaying, expressive of tuffering from intense passion. At times, and in time with the music. a convulsion thrills the waist, arms and head, and sometimes the comes quiet; but if youobserve t, passion and exerti not less intense, and the breasts con move as if vitali nained in them alove; hays on!s olenty. There js another change, and the dancer sinks slowly almost to her knees, as if overpowered with passion, while the arms sweep in si eful gestures. Perhaps she ina walking dance, moving the of her body forward mo slow s more frequent expires. The girl at Grr h performed a very ‘ Pi b, onthe g ed around it inastyle which was p) ly and sinking The Spamesh, turning low With great grace and exquisite art appeared to exercise a terrible fascin: and she seemed afraid to draiuit. The fear war perfectly acted. Five times without aid from her arin she almost lay on the ground, With her thirsty lips just dallying with the edge, and then rising swept in dance, and thrilie and shivered, and turned, and sank again. The | sixth time she had completed a cirele, and, no approached the ‘cup with throbs and pauses, and then without using her hands lifted it trom the ground with her lips alone, draining it as she rose, and, th tragedy of temptation neing over, merrily anced abont the room in quick st th Ler head thrown back, holding the cup all the time in her mouth. ‘Then the elder girl placed a cup on her head, snd danced for a long time a great variety of movements without letting it fall, the same be- ing done in turn by the younger. however, as my fellow travelers did on another occasion, dancing girls who, while dancing, made cups run from the head down the side of the face, along the arms and back, as a skilled Hercules in a cireus makes cannon batis trave! | around him. This i however, rather juggling than dancing.

Some are mere girls, who work by day and dance by night: and others are low caste, and dance coargly, a male jester taking occasional part inthe performances, as I saw at Luxor. I am told that the best are to be seen at Cairo, in the grand barems on great festival occasions. T style of dancing is the same that prevails, variations, all over the east. and the great dit- ference between it and thatof the west is simply that the one consists simply of expressive move ment and pantomime of the body, while the other is ae es of the > = There is just the same difference in ther dancing and ours that there is in the music; and the ')riental is physically quite as difficult asthe other. hep I wason the le I gave Ghawazi the name ‘“Wavers,” as expressive of their move- ments.

It being a new business to him, he did not know there Was a proper officer for receiving the tax, and concluded that all that was neces. sary was to find a man with a white skin. Consequently he hailed the first man he met, with, ‘Say, boss, I want to pay my tax; mus [ gibitto you?” On being told it would be re- ceived by the comprehending white gentleman, the negro gave bim $25, and asked if that was enough. ‘1 suppose it is,” said the white man. “Boss, gim me showin’ for dat,” said the negro. Again the wits of the white man were at work, and he soon handed the negro a slip of paper with the inscription: ‘‘As Moses lifted the serpent out of the wilderness, likewise have | lifted $25 out of this d—Jd negro’s pocket.” Not long after this the negro met the tax col- lector proper. ‘Dene paid it, boss, and here's de 'ceipt,” at the same time handing the piece of paper to the ofticer. He read: ‘As Moses lifted the serpent out of the wilderness, likewise have I lifted $25 out of thisd—n negro’s pocket.” “Hoid on boss, you read um wrong,” ejaculated the astonished darkey, as be suatehed the paper and carried it to another man, who began to read, ‘‘As Moses lifted”— Here he was inter- rupted by the negro, who exclaimed: ‘Look-a- yar; jest gim me dat paper, i’m gwine to lift dat white man out’n his boots, 'fore Lis.” With this he left, and, not having been heard from since, it is supposed be is still looking for the man to whom he paid his tax.—Dawson (@o.)
