¥he Holy City of the Mahommedans. None but Mahommedans are ever allowed to enter the Holy City of Mecca, containing the “Kaaba” or Shrine of the Prophet. Even Ma- hommedan women are exeluded, and, with the exception of the Saracene Princess, “ Pearl Tree,” who forced her way into Mecca, sap- ported by thirty thonsand lances, no woman has ever been known to enter the city. Many at- tempts have, however, been made by over- zealous Turkish women who, under various disguises, have effected an entrance, but none ever returned to give an aceount of their pil- grimaze, 2s they were put to death immediately upon being discovered. At the present time no woman could ever pass the gates, as steps are taken which render such a profanation quite impossible.

The pilgrims re- | sorted to all kinds of subterfuge, villainy and | even crime to possess themselves of their fellow travelers’ beveraze, and Lieut. Milutine and his assistant kept guard over their stock in turns, ready to kill the first man that attempted to trifle with their liquid property.

During the whole of this day the voices of the pi ld be heard for miles in the desert shouting, “Here [ am, 0 God, here I az Here I am, associated One, here { am, tor unto Thee belong praise, grace and empire, 0 Unassociated One. This verse is t beantiful in the exceedingly rich, h, huinma labbaik.” This prayer was repeated so often, people not unfrequently rushing up to their friends and | shrieking the sacred sentence In their ears, that Wt at last became a signal for merriment. Long before they were even near the Holy City, they were met by “Muttavaffs” or guide who eared their living by showing the pilgrims over tie town, cach “Muttavaff” taking some hundred pilgrims under his charge. Having ¢ barriers which marked the outer- most limits of the city, where each pilgrim un- dergoes a minute examination, for reasons ex. | pape at the mencement of this artick hey ascended some giant steps leading to a Plateau, surrounded by rocks, some of which mask the view of the birthplace of the Prophet. This was at midnight; it was raining, and light- | ning played around the wearied visitors. Day | after day they had watched its brightness from the dreary desert, and many a faithful Hadji had pointed out to his companions these fires, which were Heaven's witness to the sanc- tity of the spot. “Al Hamdu L'illah!” Thanks to God! they had arrived at the “Kaaba,” to whieh every Moslem turns his face while in Prayer since the days of Mahommed. The cara- ‘van camped on the plateau, and soon after dawn arose the shout of “Labbaik! Labbaik!” upon which the diszutsed pilgrim, passing between the rocks, found himself In the chief street of Mecea, and approached the “Gateway of Salva- tion.” one of the thirty-nine portals of the’Tem- ple of Al-Haram. On crossing the threshold he entered a vast Bnroofed quadrangle. having on each side a broad colonnade, divided into three aisles by multitude of slender columns, and rising to the height of about sixty feet. armounting each arch of the colonnade Isa small dome—in all there are one hundred and twenty—and at dif- ferent points arise seven familiar minarets, dating from various epochs, and varying both ia altitude and architecture. The numerous Pigeons which have their home within the Tem- ple have been believed never to alight upon any ‘tion of its roof, thus miraculously testifying 0 the holiness of the editice. In the center of the square area rises the far- famed ‘aaba.” the funereal shade of which contrasts vividly with the sunlit walls and Precipices of the town. It is a cubleal stracture of massive stone, the upper portion of which ‘mantled by black velvet embroidered with silver and gold, the lower portion being hung with snow-white silk. At a distance of several yards it ls surrounded by a balustrade provided with lamps, which are always lighted, and the space thus inelosed is the cireuit-ground along whieh, day and nicht, crowds of faithful, per- forming the circular ceremony of Tawaf, realize the idea of perpetual motion, after which they udvance to the biack stone embedded in an augle of the Kaaba and kiss at cseipining “Bismiiah wah Allaha Akbar*2“In!' name, and God Is greatest.” They p menced the usual seven rounds—thrge at- a walking pace and four at a brite ae: ag followed by two prayer-i of Zamzam, said to be the skme qvenched the thirst of H: exhensted som, Resides the Kaaba, eight minor structured ‘edorn the quadrangle; the well of Zamzam, the Bbary, tke clock room, where hundreds tribe of f |leons conducted took steamer to Exypt.

This course of devotion was continued during several days, on the third of which a rumor went round that an infidel had contrived to en- ter the city, which made Lieutenant Milutine very uncomfortable, fearing that this might refer to himself.

Nor would he shrink from extreme measures in defendi: his fields from theravages of low-caste monkeys. Dr. Allen Mackenzie once saw a swarm of ex- cited natives running toward an orchard where the shaking of the branches betrayed the pres— ence of arboreal marauders. Some of them ear- ried slings, others clubs and cane spears. But soon they came back crestfallen. “What's the matter?"inquired the doctor; “did they get away from you?” “Kapa-muni,” was the laconic reply, “sacred monkeys”—holy baboons that must not be inter- rupted in their little pastimea. They had ex- ected to find a troop of common makaques, wanderoos, or other protane four-handers, and returned on tiptoe, like Marryat’s sergeant, who went to arrest an obstreperous drunkard and recognized his commanding officer. Unarmed Europeans cannot aiford to brave these preju- dices. Captain Elphinstone'’s gardener nearly lost his life for shooting a thievish hanuman; a mob of raging bigots chased him from street to | street till he gave them the slip in a Mobamme- dan suburb, where a sympathizing Unitgrian helped him to escape through the back alleys. The interterence of his countrymen would hardly have saved him, for the crowd increased from minute to minute, and even women joined in the chase, and threatened to cure his impiety with a turnip-masher. ———ee2-—____ Buying a Gi From the Toronto Globe, Fort Galzary Letter, Yesterday, though the weather was bitterly cold, there was a lull inthe storm, and word was brought over to the saloon that there was to bea horse-race between the Indians and halfbreeds on the other side of the Elbow. There was a general stampede for the foot- bridge, and I made my way over in company with a cow-boy, whom I know only as “Shorty. As we were crossing the stream he handed me abandfal of nuts and remarked that he was taking a pocketful over to “‘his girl.” “Where did you get a girl?” I asked. “Ty ee her over here at the Blackfoot camp ‘What did you give for her?” “Thirty-five dollars. Oh, here she is,” he added, asa little six-year-old Blackfoot girl came capering down the bank to meet him and take possession of the nuts. The little one had on a new dress, warm stockings, new shoes and a little black blanket, all of which had evidently come out of the store within the last twenty four hours. After loading her with the nuts, Shorty allowed herto start back toward the lodge, but thinking her blanket did not fit her close enough, he called her back, and taking off the empty cartridge-belt which held his own overcoat together he belted her little blanket snugly around her walst and then sent her off, the happiest youngster in the Blackfoot camp. “What will you do with her?” T asked. “Her mother is to bas go back to e her down home and I'll take her home and mother ‘Il make a woman. of her.” Tcould not help thinking, as 1 went back to the saloon, that Shorty and his mother were likely to accomplish more between them than many @ pretentious society of wealthy philan- thropists might do during ‘a prosperous career of several years. ——$ ‘The Largest Hands Ever Read Of.

Mills knew but little of the inner wor! ings of the bank which controlled these min and their operations. He trusted Ralston and Sharon for that. He contented himself with taking what came to him and asking no questions. But he held on to it religiously. He never speculated know- ingly; never engaged actively in anything; he simply sat, sleek and fat, in the president's chair of the bank and signed his-name in a pet functory way to everything brought to him. Mr. Mills did rouse himself once, when some- body told him that Ralston owed the bank nearly $5,000,000—had scooped all its surplus and halt its capital. The sleek old gentleman turned white for a moment. but he was equal to the occasion. He closed the door, called the directors, demanded of Ralston a statement, which not coming as promptly as he thouzht the occasion required, demanded further Rals- ton’s resignation. It was given on the spot, and the disgraced nabob went out of the door and threw himself into the bay Mr. Mills has a fortune of periaps $15,000,000, and how he acquired it is a mystery to most Californians to-day. “Nobody ever saw him do anything,” is a remark one frequently hears concerning Mr. Mills. ‘There was less mystery about the methods by which “Jim” Keene accumulated the millions ith which he went to New York and startled Wall street. He got them by cool effrontery, brazen courage, and an energy and dash that were marvelous. He got them by an up-and-up, stand-up, single-handed fight with James C. Flood and his Bonanzaassociates. When Keene went to San Francisco he was a bright fellow, and it didn’t take him long to select his way of making a living. He had been teaching school and editing a weekly newspaper at Shasta, Cal., and the life didn’t suit him. He often says himself that he was the poorest editor that ever grabbed a shears. So greatly did the petty annoyances of an editorial room impress themselves upon his memory, that years after, in the wild clamor of the stock board, when fortunes were being made and lost In a minute, Keene has said frequently that above all that din he could yet hear his old foreman’s howl for “copy.” He be; Francisco career. as a curbstone broker, and used to execute orders on the street for bigger brokers in the board. His advance was rapid and his luck prodigious. He soon had a mem- bership, and in the great excitement of 1872 became known as the boldest and most dashing operator in the market. He was generally a bear, and as such became athorn in the side of Ralston and other heavy bulls. When Flood came upon the scene he was the first to throw a red rag in the face of that fauro and draw his lance. Flood hated Keene with an awe- inspiring hatred. He possessed money enough to crush him, but he hadn't the brains, and with every effort he only added to Keene's bank account. The latter began bearing the Bonanza stocks at almost their highest fi , and he never stopped until he left the with 24,000,000 in gold, fully three-fourths of which came from the coffers of his mortal enemies. Keene seems to have got more conservative and cautious since he went to New York. But then, as his friends say, he is rich and indifferent, and wants now to enjoy life. James B.

But there was some reason for it, for the death of Ralston, in 1875, and the Sharon's interests to an extent which threat Ralston were partners in vast mining and real estate Interests, and when the latter was found to bea defauiter to the extent of nearly $5,000,- 000, there was but one thing for Suaron to do to save himself—make good the deficit and take all of Ralston’s schemes upon his own shoulders. It was a mizhty task, and it took vo or three years to bring order out of chaos. But it was done. The Bank of California was fully rehabilitated, and if Sharon’s original for- tune is not wholly intact, it is but little im- bly worth to-day from $6,000,000 to $8,000,000, but_a large portion of this is represented by the Palace hotel, which does not yield 1 per cent a year on the original Investment.

But recently it has been pointed out, correctly in all probability, that under the greater tide- raising power of the moon in past ages, these changes would have taken place more rapidly. As, however, certainty 10,000,000 of years, and probably a much longer time, must have elapsed since the moon was at that favorable distance for raising tides, we are by no means enabled, aa -meaning but mistaken persons have imagined,to reduce the life-bearing stage of the earth from a duration of 100,000,000 of years to a minute fraction of such a period. The short life, but exceedingly lively one, which they de- sire to see established by geological or astro- nomical reasoning, never’ can be demonstrated. At the very least. we must assign 10,060,000 years to the life-bearing staze ot the earth’s ex istence, If we now multiply this period by seven for Jupiter we get a period of 60,000,000 | years longer. But take the stage preceding that of life on the earth, ‘om the researches of Bischoff into the cooling of masses of heated it seems to follow that a period of more than 300,000,000 years must have been requii for the cooling of the earth from a temperatur of 2000° centigrade to one of 200°, a cooling which has certainly taken place.

From the London Standard. Long before the cortege started from No. 204 Rue de Rivoli, where the deceased's remains lay in state on a sumptuous catafaique erected un- der the porte cochere, crowds assembled in its inmediate v and deputations, all car ing banners of varied colors and bearingall man- ner of inscriptions, assembled in thestreet, which they blocked up nearly as fur as the Place de la Concorde. Nothing could exeeed the order in which all fell into their places in'the rear of the hearse, andthe long line, broken by tae bannera, when viewed from a distance? looked most pic- turesque. It extended over a mile in length, and as it moved on the streets and boulevards tops, by dense ea depuration drawn by mmorteiles so densely cov and wreaths of ” flowers its very shape and sombre hue obliterated. Acompanying the hearse were ten pall- Immediately following came Gen. representing the president of the republic; then the personal friends and relatives Louis Blane, followed by the military and band playing solema inusic. Atter the band followed the deputations with their wreaths and banners, nearly every man wearing in_ his batton hole the ig of red immortelle: which is regarded as the special badge of un- belief in the life of the world to come. The members of the commune whom the amnesty has permitted to re.urn to Paris were con- spicuous in the procession, and. judging from their appearance, they have no reason to com- plain of their lot. They all wore comfortable greatcoats, and were most respectably attired; indeed, the fact that the majority of this enor- mous gathering call themselves members of the proletariat, and enemies of Linfame capital, seemed at variance with the extraordinary heat- ness of their appearance. The procession, the rear of which was brought up by twenty coaches, took two hours to reach the cemetery. At the Cemetery ot Pere la Chaise the coffin was laid in the modest monument where Madame Louis Blanc’s remains were laid eight years ago. M. Charles Edmond then read the following oration, written tor the occasion by Victo Hugo, whom his years would not allow to attend. “The death of such a man as Louis Blanc isa disappearance. It is a light that goes out. Sadness overtakes us akin to prostration; but prostration lasts but a little while. Men who believe are strong, and so to live Is to hope. A light may go out, but the source of all light is never extinguished. Men like Louis Blane are necessary; them arises. Their work cannot be discontin- ued, for it forms part of the very life of human- ity. Let us weep, then, for Louis Blane; but let us hope. Let us weep, but let us trust. In the better world, where he now is, he hears us and approves us. Good was the alm of his will the fulfilment of his work. He was eloquent; he was excellent. As an historian he taught; as an orator he persuaded; as a philosopher he enlightened. Let us honor his mortal shell, yenerate his memory,and accept hisimmortality. Such men, we repeat, are necessary. ‘They must die, since that is the earthly law; but they must endure, tor that is the law of Heaven. Nature makes them, the Republic wants them, What 1s there at the bottom ot the Republic? Man. What is there in the inmost essence of nature? God. Beings like Louis Blanc are supreme consciences, They go through life with but one care—to do the double duty; with regard to history, facts, incidents, catastro- phes, events, revolutions, to serve the people; with regard to God, to love Him.” Several other speeches were made, the most typical and the best of which was delivered by a Journeyman compositor, M. Moret. He sald: “Citizens—This tomb cannot be closed with- out a voice being raised from the workingmen to pay a tribute to Louis Bianc’s memory. He served the cause of the people; the ple claim him as their own. After what has been saig we can make no distinction between the socialist and politician. The workingman, as he through life, will bear in mind but one thing— that born in the bourgeoise, Louis Blanc loved the people. Louis Blanc was the true son of the French revolution.” = ‘The Sign Would Answer. A woman who owned a small millinery shop engaged a painter to paint her a sign. When it came home the other day she saw that it read, “Mrss. J. Blank,” etc., and she called ont: ‘You. have an extra ‘s’ in ‘Mrs.'and you must paint the sign over again.” The painter saw the error, but he didn’t want the job of correcting it, and he replied: ‘Madam, haven't you had two hus- bands?” “Yea, sir.” ‘You were a Mrs. when ou lost the first?” “I was.” “And do you think & woman can go on marrying forever and not lengthen out her title? ‘Mrs.’ meansa mar- ried woman or a widow. ‘Mrss.’ means 3 wo- man who has married twice, and is young enol to marry again; and only yeaterday a So ot chap was in our shop nad oelaie he had any idea that you were heart-free, he’d come up——” “Oh, well, you can nail up the sign,” she interrupted.
