SATURDAY MORNING. APBIL 24.
IN EXILE.
Soma day I may retake the rood
To Dreamland's sweet oblivion,
. Though now I keep my bare abode
In streets my late companions shun.
To nooks below the greenwood tree
They call and call; in sweet disguise
Of bloom and song they beckon me,
And lore mo in each maiden's eyes.
But nights they Icare tboir haunts and
throng
About me. When my tasks are done
Some day I'll put them into song,
And find my happy country won.

VEGETABLE AND MORAL PRODUCT.
A. Carious Analogy Said to Exist In Cer
tain Districts at the Globe.
There seems a curious analogy between
the vegetable and moral product of certain
districts. In the land of the Apaches all
nature seems to become fpinescent. Mes
quitoj and wilJ-roeo bushes, with an under
growth of brambles, cover whole hillsides.
Cactus thickets make the ravines almost im
passable. Mesquitcs and cactus appear to
hare a marvelous adaptation for drawing
moisture from the arid soil; but the chief
secret of their survival is perhaps their arm
ature of thorns, enabling them to maintain
a much-disputed claim to existence.
car Cerritcs. in the Gila valley, a plan
tation of 1S,000 young chestnut trees were
destroyed by rnawing and browsing 'ver
min' in a single year. Cabbage could there
be raised only in a rat-proof hot-house, but
the mala muger, a vcgetablo porcupine with
out any visible leave), can freely
expose itself on the ojjea prairie. The ani
mal concomitants aro equally sofa Taran
tulas, centipedes, and steel blue hornets mul
tiply undisturbed. Rattlesnakes thrive like
wrigglers in a mill-pond. Coyotes (literally
Eand dogs) survive where Dr. Tanner would
perish. .Nay, like their congeners, the jackal
and tho hyena, they seem naturally to grav
itate toward the barrenest regions of tho
habitable earth, to regions apparently una
ble to promise them cither shelter or food.
And the brigands seem to follow the tend
ency of tho same law. On either side of the
Atlantic, deserts (Spanish despoblados, Lja.,
depopulate! districts) aro haunted by rob
bers as ruins by owls and ghosts. In all
worn-out countries the outlaw's knife, gleams
among thistlos and thorns. For armed self
help is mostly nothing but a reaction
against aggression often only a defensive
reaction. Tho Bedouin and tho bramble-bush
ask nothing but to be left alone. To tho
weak that wish is not readily granted; but
nature has a way of her own for tempering
tho storm to destitute lambs. Wool, too
often shorn, turns into bristles. Dr. Felix
L. Oswald.
Tlio Daughters or Oticen Victoria.
All these ladies lead very dull and hum
drum lives. They aro too high to find
equals in society; they must be surrounded
with a certain degree of state and cere
mony; they Iiavo their people in waiting;
everybody courtesies or kotows to them.
But this is the extent of tbeir grandeur.
Their incomes aro not to bo compared with
tho revenues of tho nobility; their jewels
and toilets are inferior to tho trappings of
many of the ladies who wait on them; they
havo no great estates, or mansions even,
but must put up with apartments in some
half-deserted palicj; and tho spectacle they
present of impoverished royalty is pitiable
rather than digniiied. The nation grudges
thorn their albwanru and threatens not to
support their children. Tho demand for a
dowry is fought by tho Radicals at each
successive marriage, and the more obsiuro
they remain the tatter tho chance of their
1-ortion being paid. Tho English, perhaps,
aro still willing to bo taxed for tho state of
tho sovereign ami of the heir to the throne,
but not for tho support of the royal rela
tives, whoso existence is a burden to tho na
tion and can novcr bo a benefit
On tho whole, tho fate of theso ladios,
born in a palace, but not to palatial fort
unes, is far from enviable. None of them
possesses natural gifts or attractions suffi
cient to compensate for the lack of wealth
and iniluoncc, or to ornament their places
or confer a personal distinction. None w ill
inako names cr careers like those of the
famous princesses of history. They stand
in tho light of tho throne, but have none of
its lustre. They aro let up on a pinnacle
without qualities or oven circumstances to
attract tho admiration which their position
demands, and without which royal rank,
especially for a woman, is only an exposure
and a mockery. Conspicuous without
charms, prominent without power, lofty

In ono of cur walks about tho town wo
stumbled on a lino collection of ganio cocks.
Quito a largo houso seemed to bo appro
priated for their use, and on the ground in
tho street in front of it were standing thirty
or forty latticed bottomless boxes or coops,
each one containing a gamo cock; and look
ing through tho open doors wo saw that
thero were plenty more in tho house. They
were brought out evidently for sun and air,
and also for the pleasures of com ersation,
for they were croning nnd cock-a-looing
together in a most vigorous an 1 instructive
manner. A man took them out one by one
in lii hands inspecting them carefully.
Some ho replaced evidently finding them all
right, and others ho took to another man
who was straddling a bench under tho shade
o? a wall
TLo second man seemed to be a professor.
Ho minutely examined tho gamo cock sub
mitted to him, much as a phrenologist feel:
of a subject's bead, critically inspecting its
legs nnd spurs, and thrusting his nose
against its body up among tho feathers and
smelling it all o er. The tail feathers of
each Lird were separated from tho plumage
of tho body by about an inch of space, from
which tho down had been pulled out, and
the hare, red skin shun: like a scarlet ring.
If any down or tuzz appeared in this ions

with tomo tweercrs. Then he turned his

It is useless for any one to deny that
writers unknown in literature have a hard
struggle at first to obtain'a hearing. Still,
I believe thtt any oao ho has a story worth
telling or original ideas worth recording
no matter on what sub.ect can eventually
find some publi-hor with sulllciont discern
ment to recognize the fact. Iu literature,
as iu every thing else, p.-ople are liko water
sure to find tboir level sooner or later. I
think the plan I ued frequently to follow is
a good one for all young writers anxious to
have their production see ths light cf day.
When I first aspired to write for something
more substantial than love or glory, I made
oat a list of all the American periodica!,
commencing with what I considered the
best, and going by regular gradations to the
poorest. If 1 wrote a story 1 would send it
to all of these periodicals, commencing with
tho first, in the order of their refusal. Let
any young writer do this, and, my word for
it, if his oilusion posses-es any merit what
ever it will not be rejected by the entire
list Georgo W. Cabla.

ing tha Morning Paper.
'Have yon rvar noticed any striking pe
culiarities about the way people cross their
kneeaP asked a reporter of an old Denverite
who has seen a deal of the world at homo
and abroad, the other day.
"Tea, indeed," laughed the portly gentle
man of many experiences. "I have often
studied the phase, both in men and women,
but it never occurred to me that any one
else was struck with it About the first in
stance I remember occurred when I was a
boy at home in my father's house. One of
my very pretty sisters had two admirers
one of them she encouraged because she re
turned his sentiment, and the other sho was
obliged to treat courteously because he was
the son of an old friend of the family.
"Well, those young man used to happen in
on the same evening, and then it was a tie
between them as to who should outstay tho
other. The son of an old friend naturally
was the ridiculous object in this proceed
ing, but he stayed with a degree of persist
ency worthy of a Letter cause. I used to
tell my sister that his mute way of crossing
bis logs had a language all its own. When
be entered the house, only to find 'the other
fellow,' as he always did, be inariably
wriggled about for a little time, apparently
undecided as to whether to stay or not; but
his inclination always conquered his judg
ment, and when he leaned back in his chair
and deliberately crossed his legs, we knew
that ho meant to stay.
AS HIS THOCOUTS ErVOLVED.
"When it began to grow Into ho would
mechanically uncross his legs, but enly to
cross them directly, if be couldn't possibly
make up his mind to go. Finally, when the
clock struck a late hour, he would slowly (it
even seamed painfully) uncross his legs,
place loth feet on the floor, and begin to
button his coat with a manner that sav
ored of despair. Theso motions never failed;
thoy were gone through as regularly as ho
cams to the house, and they wcra tho most
expresssire 'language of tho legs' that I havo
ever teen. Tho way tho fellow crossed and
uncrossed his legs showed all tho inner
workings of his heart Hi. legs were tho
thermometers of his passion, and they never
once failed in performing their office. "
"You don't for an instant suppose he
knew what ho was doing i"
"Certainly not Crossing and uncrossing
his legs as his thoughs revolved through his
mind was as instinctivo with him ru breath
ing. His unconsciousness of what he was
doing was just what made it so interesing
to observe him."
"At what times do you thing men gener
ally cross their legs mostf
"Why, at those times when there is the
least pressure on their minds, certainly.
You will novcr find a man actually en
gaged in Lusiness with his legs cronsed.
Tho limbs at those times are straigbt:r than
at any other, becauso tho mind and body
work together and there is no giving way
of either function to relaxation A man
engage! in auditing accounts will never
cress bis legs; neither will a man who is
writing an m tide, or who is employed in
any manner where his brain is actively en
gaged; when at work in a sitting posture,
tho limbs naturally extend to tho floor in a
perfectly straight line.
WJinX HE CETB IX EABXEST.
"A man may ross his legs if he is sitting
In an oftice-chair discussing some business
proposition with another man, but tho
instant ho becomes really in earnest and
perceives something to be gained his limbs
uncross as quick as a ilasn, ho bends for
ward toward his neighbor and begins to use
his hands. That is a phase that I believe
you will always observe."
"ilen ofttn cross their legs at public
meetings, do they not;"
"Certainly they co, beeauo they go there
to listen or to bo entertained; thoy are not
the factors in the performance, and they
naturally place themselves in the most com
fortable position known to them namely,
that of leanii.g well back in their chairs and
crossing their legs. A man always crosses
his legs when bo reads a nawsjiaper, but is
more apt tolie down when he reads a book.
Ho reads tho pajer, of oarse, to inform
hinrelf, but at the same time the perusal of
its contents is rorreatio.i to him, and his
body seeks its josition of relaxation.
"When a man is reading a newspaper and
waiting for his breakfast his legs are always
crossed, but us soon as his breakfast is
brought to him ho puts the paper aside,
straightens out his legs and goes to work;
that is, begins to eat, his mind now turning
on U.o duties of thy day before him. When
I said men lay down to read books, I know
whereof 1 spoe. Tbero uro more men who
read themselves to sleep nowadays than you
subject, but you see, book-i coding always
requires more time, and a man with on hour
to spare naturally throws himself dewn on
a lounge, and if ho has any literary taste
takes up a book and devours its contents as
he rests. Ho cither does this or sticks his
feet on a tabH when he roads, and you
know tha (it-rman students have their slip

THE AGAVE OF MEXICO.
Joaqain Miller Writes of the Maguey
riant IU Universal Csefalness.
Here we have a blossom as big a a bar
rel, and twice or thrice as long. From this
j huge bulk it begins lengthen out and stand
up as ii li meant io kuock iu top against
tha stars. 1 have seen this flower of ""rfiy
attain to forty feet in height And I think
it must at such times hold on its tall and
splendid stem about 5,000 bloom. Tha
agave comes very near being bread, meat,
milk, and clothing to tho Mexican. Ha
makes hammocks and all kinds of cords and
rope j and bags and coarse clothes out of its
fiber; Iu covers his miserable hut with it
after a fashion, and feeds it to his donkey.
It is frequently his only provision, and it is
certainly his meat and drink in the farm of
pulque nearly all the time, as I have do-
scribed in & former letter.
But it is as a flower I set out to write of
tho maguey or agave, often, also, miscalled
the aloe, by Americans. After this tre
mendous blossom has burst from tha heart
of the so-called "century plant," and is about
to shoot up high in tho heavens it is cut
down by the farmer. This flower is then
picked off and roasted, as an TnHin
would roast corn. Briefly, this wonder
ful Cower of Mexico is then made
into a sort of whisky, called tequila pro
nounced to-hcc-la. This tequila is a rather
hot and pepperish drink, but physicians
advise strangers to drink it in preference to
either tha whisky or brandy to be bought in
Mexico. The aiter-eife.ts, as compared to
other drinks, are said to bo nib Certainly,
i f there is aught in tho aristocracy of drinks,
this somo tequila, which is made of tha very
juice and essence of tho largest and loftiest
flower in the four parts of this country1
ougnt to nave some preference. It is cer
tainly tha cheapest drink in Mexico.
It is perhaps high time that the foolish
tradition about this plant blossoming only
every century be disposed of. In t'outh
America it blossoms about every ten years.
In tha valley of Mexico reliable ranchmen
te.l me it blossoms regularly every seven
years. The notion about its coming to
flower only every century no doubt had its
origin in the heads of ignorant hoodlums of
the far north, where this plant, very
naturally, I should say, had very serious
objections to ever blossoming at alb
But it is timo to cease particularizing,
about this flower or that, in a land where
there is still many a Cower unnamed and
entirely unknown, and content ourselves
with s;me genuine bits of color and of

Tones nf the American Voice.
Tho Americans moke tha English lan
guage tho cay and fluent i chicle of their
ideas. They do not consider a cadence or a
drawl a necessary part of it In this re
spect they more resemble tho French, who,
while talking rather faster than a foreigner
thinks necessary, yet speak without set
tones or inflections, taking the words as
they come to hand in tho most natural and
unaffected manner. Americans are accused
of too great use. of tho head tones, giving
their speech a nasal quality unpleasant to
the ear. Thero is doubtless something of
this in America, bat it is almost entirely
confined to rural localities. It is rare in
deed in cidtivatod persons. But it can also
be noticed among certain classes in England,
whiio the nasal sounds peculiar to their lan
guage compel tho French to pitch the voice
entirely in tho roof of the mouth or in the
nasal assaes. In America that part of
tho responsibility for the nasal twang which
is not inherited from the psalm-singing and
conventicle-haunting Independents through
their dependents, the Puritans, may be per
mitted to rat with tbe climate and want of
intellectual culture. This peculiarity may
bo sot nH against tho dropped h's with
which tho str.ets of Loudon may be fairly
said to be paved an omission not confined
to tho ignorant classes, but to those who aro

latins a Dinner In Japan.
We found a number of mats, like their
sofa cushions, on the floor at one end of the
room in a semi-circle. On this we were ex
pectel to kneel, sitting on our heels,
as is the custom in Japan. It is as
tiresome to us as for a Jap to sit on a
chair, bat by occasionally moving our be
numbed limbs, we managed to get through
vcrv comfortably. It would doubtless be
interesting to relate what we had for din
ner, as our hill of far was certainly twelve
feet long) But it would be impossible for
me to tell what most of the dishes were,
as they were not recognisable, and our in
terpreters, even, could not tell us what all
were in English, As to tbeir taste, well,
that was also indescribable in most cases!
We were hungry, but we ate little. How
ever, that is quite the proper thing, as the
Japanese themselves never eat much at
those parties. In this they show most ex
cellent jedgment, for if they even tasted of
eacn dLh set before them they could
scarcely live twenty-four hours afterward.
But all that is not eaten at each guest's
place is sent to bis house the following day
as a matter of couxUay. This, also, is a
good idea; because what be dared not taste
at the feast ha might attempt in tha privacy
of his own home, where be could expsctoraSo
what was not to his liking without ouVsding
