l A ROMANCE OF THE DESERT. An Arrest, a Marriage, DomeStie Happi- ness, and a. Murder. [From the San Francisco Chronicle.) About twenty-five years ago a company of young men started out from Damascus for Jerusalem. They had not gone far before a band of armed horsemen surrounded them, and the leader said the caravan might move on if they would deliver up a young man named llaudall. The terms were acceded to, and his companions last saw him mounted on a line horse, attended by the'gay horsemen of the Bedouin Sheik of the Le Avish tribe. He was taken to the Sheike tent, and to his sur- p > found a magnificent entertainment awaiting him. \Vliat does it all mean ? Ar- zalia, the Slicik’s daughter, has seen the young man and fallenpassionately in love with him, and this is the wedding feast. The young man and Arzalia are married. There was no escape for him. His tent was guard- ed by night, and his person was watched by day, lest he should escape, and this guard was kept over him for years. He and Arzalia, however, seemed happy ; children were born to them, and_thcir domestic life was marked by kindness, courtcsy, and true affection. (andall rapidly acquired the Arabic language; his wife as rapidly mastered the English. Their children were taught in both. He is an American by birth. \Vhen he was admitâ€" ted to the Sheik‘s family they had to receive his religion as well as his person. Through him his wife became a Christian ; the father- iu-law became a patron of his son-indaw’s faith, and the surrounding tribes became fa- vorable to the new religion. But a Dervish, a zealot of the Mohamme- dan faith, for a long time endeavored to have , {andall‘s sons thrown out of the employ of the Turkish Government, and failing in this, turned his assault upon the daughter of the foreigner, charging her with witchcraft and apostacy from the true faith. She was brought before the Meglis, composed of 114 venerable bilieiks and Offendis, to answer charges which involved her life. She, though but 14 years of age, made a defence worthy Of an apostle ; and the unanimous verdict was in her favor. The chiefs of the tribes pledged each other to defend all Christians who thought and felt as Rosa did. The trial was in October, 1872. In Julie, 1872, Rosa was teaching a class of little girls in a grove, the Dervish stealthin approached, murdered the maid, and fled. «*4 w ..7 Relics of a Dead Race. [From the Missouri Republican .] Mr. A. J. Conant, the artist, returned recently from the Ozark Mountains, where he passed a week in exploring seine remarkable caves on the Gasconade and tributary streams, lying principally in Phelps and Pulaski coun- ties. M r. Conant, about two years ago, made some interesting discoveries in the region mentioned of human skulls aiid skeletons, supposed to belong to a people who existed before the historic period, and as it is under- stood that he has been engaged since 1862 in collecting the materials of a work on archai- ology, it may well be supposed that he is enthusiastic in following up his discoveries. He and his party first visited Bruce's Cave, :-.o named after one of the early settlers, who made saltpctrc from the cave deposits. The cavern is in the limestone formation, with an entrance about one hundred and thirty feet in the bluffs above the Gasconade river. They first entered a spacious chamber, but, as the passage narrowed, the party were forced to get down on their knees and crawl some distance. They next made a nearly perpendicular ascent of fifty feet, when they entered a large chamber sparkling with stal- actites of a. snowy whiteness like alabaster, with hundreds of bats hanging in festoons from the roof. Having explored the caverns, the work of excavating began at the mouth of the cave, where bones and implements were found. They made a vertical section of six feet, and studied the stratification of the soft deposits. The layers changed from a black, rich soil, to ashes, alternating with strata composed of soil and ashes intermixed. t was in these strata that human bones and fragments were found. The skulls exhibit a low facial angle, and the teeth, some of which dropped out, are as well preserved as if drawn by a dentist yesterday, There is the skull of an old man, known from the knitting to- pfitli'er of the sutures, and one of an infant of , almost wafer-like thinness, and the several . ,arts separated at the sutures. Beside the Iulls there were found arrow and spear heads, flint implements, knives and awls for sowing skins, made of belie, very hard and polished; also the bones of the turtle, (leer and wild turkey, intermingled with various fragments of carnivorous and browsing animâ€" als not yet identified. Great care was required gin exhuming these remains, as the skulls j iwere liable to be broken by the pick. The second cave explored was about a. mile . distant from the former, and is locally known as Ash Cave, from the fact that there is a de- posit of ashes from the saltpctre manufactured there about thirty years ago. These saltpetre operations have so far disturbed the original deposits that nothing satisfactory could be obtained, except one corpse, which was found in a sitting posture, with the knees drawn up to the face. \Vith this corpse was also found the nearly entire skeleton, very much de- Eva’ycd, of an elk or large-sized (leer. » o.â€" Plain Houses for Plain Men. On this subject lVilson Flagg writes in The Atlantic for April :â€" .1 do not deny the right of a poor man to Iivv in a fine house; but he cannot be so happy, or so thrifty, or so respectable, as in L a; plain house adapted to his moderate wants and his limited means. A11 educated poor man in such a house might not seem out of ‘leace to one who is not aware of his poverty. ._ But an ignorant man with clownish manners cannot live in a palace without making his qwrsonal defects both conspicuous and ludi- ‘Xir'ons. Yet how often do we observe that the most ostentatious house in a village be.- longs to some unlettered clown who has by a blind turn of Fortune’s wheel become rich. (.‘ohlscious that wealth alone can distinguish him above his equals, he seizes the first op- portunity to gain distinction by building a ‘costly house. But its splendor does not blind him to his own personal defects, and when he approaches his mansion with a a? ilfii‘anger, he shrinks from acknowledging it as his own property, because he is sensible of a practical absurdity when the splendor of his house is contrasted with his awkward manners, his ungrammatical speech, his hard hands, and his rustic visage. ' It may be said, in defense of all this show, that it is a faithful index of the character of the people ; that it is true to the weak side ' of human nature. But it is not the follies or the vices of men which we would see faithâ€" fully indexed on the face of the country. ch want that kind of scenery which is true to their material occupations, and to those customs and habits which are interesting as «cell as characteristic. “'e do not like to see any man’s estate covered with the idols of his Jt'ambition, if that is either foolish or vain. “Neither, on the other hand, if the inhabitants are filthy, is it agreeable to see this principle of truth _to human nature literally carried into opportunity. The advocates of the or- nate fully understand this principle ; but they ’ serr in over-estimating the effect of displaying the proprietor’s ambition. They think chiefly of setting forth in the landscape what pleases the wealthy and fashionable part of society, and work as if they thought the way to imâ€" , prove the aspect of the country was to conceal the evidence that any other classes exist. .â€"9.

Mr. Miller is sometimes alluded to as one of those strange men of the prairie whose especial forte and delight is the killing of In- dians for pastime and buffaloes for food. He is, on the contrary, an exceedingly quiet, diffidcnt, gentlemanly young man, very in- dustrious, self-respectful, simple in his way of life, and has the practical good sense to invest Hair Under the Microscope [- "Lind er even a goodglass of moderately high power, a human hair usually disappoints a dzletlame at the microscope, presenting as it does to such pretty much the appearance of a large wire. We remember well an amusing instance of this sort Of disappointment, amounting almost to chagrin. One of the parties was an eminent inicroscopist, since deceased. We had together spent the day collecting at the shore. It was evening, and the professor with his “ Spencer " was working out his “ finds.” Some young ladies came in on a call. The professor had just made a fine slide of a bit of a red hair-like callithainnia. Under that superb lens this delicate alga came out in great beauty ; for 10, instead of continuous, homogeneous hairs, the thread- like fronds looked as if they were made up of many series of ruby bugles. After gazing in admiration on the exquisite vision, the ladies were shown a mass of this pretty sea-weed as it lay in a saucer of water. This evoked the remark that it looked like red hair, and how wonderful it was that it should appear so beautiful in the microscope. Now it so hap- pened that one of the ladies had a highly sanguine temperament, and hair of an equal- ly ardent hue. “ If a bit of red-haired sea- weed be so beautiful, what should not be ex- pected Of a human hair of the same hue 7” Such was thought, although not said. The doctor had begun the preparation of a new slide for his microscope. It was a cluster of live Bryozoa, and he was somewhat impatient lest the specimen might die. But the ardent damsel would 30 like to see her hair in the microscope. Less in gallantry than in mis- chief, the doctor yielded, and quite in a pro- fessional way addressing himself to the head of the fair one, detached from its lambent sisters one ruddy hair. It was soon put in focus. Rising from his seat, “There!” ex- claimed the dootor, in dubious emphasis. “ That is a specimen 1” The first to look at the magnified hair was. the fair owner there~ of. But such a disappointment! Then all must look ; and each in turn ejaculated “ Oh I” The specimen appeared like a thick brass wire. “ \Vliy,” said the lady, “ it‘s not so pretty as that weed I” Said the doc- tor, partly in Latin and partly in English, much as he wrote his piescriptions, “ Alga non est vilior quam coma flamanHyperion to a satyr. ” But the surgeon was given to sharp practice, and could say cutting things. Be- sides, he was a professor in a medical college. ssl’rofessor SAMUEL Lockwoon, in Harper’s Magazine for April. .‘ R __ _. v. - v , .._7,,,‘ Benjamin West. A pretty story is told of his first attempts at painting. Inspired atthe age of nine by the sight of some engravings and the gift of a paint-box, he used to play truant from school, “ and as soon as he got out of sight of his father and mother,-he would steal up to his garret, and there pass the hours in a world of his own. At last, after he had been absent from school some days, the master called at his father's house to inquire what had become of him. This led to the discovery of his secret occupation. His mother, proceeding to tho garret, found the truaiit ; but so much was she astonished and delighted by the cre- ations of his pencil, which also met her view when she entered the a artinent, that, in. stead of rcbuking him, slio could only take him in her arms and kiss him with transports of affection.” Doubtless many other soft- hearted mothers have thus greeted what they fondly imagined to be the dawning of genius in their otl'spring, but with consequences less appalling. The young artist went early to ltome, where his appearance, coming from the far \Vestern world, excited curious inâ€" terest and attention. Crowds followed him to observe the impressions created by the marvels he encountered. On the completion of his studies, which he pursued with assidu- ity, he went to England, there soon afterward married, and there remained until his death, at the age of sevénty-nine. But a very small number of his works are owned in this country. His “Christ healiu the Sick,” presented by the artist to the ’ennsylvania. Hospital, is still in the possession of that institution. It was once greatly admired. The Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts owns his “Death on the Pale Horse ;” his “Christ Rejected“ and his “Cupid” are also owned in that city. His “Lear” may be seen in the gallery of the Boston Athe- iueum. Two of his pictures, illustrating scenes from the Iliad, belong to the collection of the New York llistorical Society. It must be remembered to his honor that he was the first historical painter to break through the absurd Academical traditions which required modern subjects to be painted in the so-called classic style. ’ When his “ Death of \Volfe ” was exhibited at the Royal Academy of Lon- don, the adherents of the old style “com- plained of the barbarism of boots, buttons, and blunderbusses, and cried out for naked warriors with bows, bucklers, and battering- rams.” Reynolds and the Archbishop of York remonstrated with \Vest against his daring innovation. The artist calmly re- plied that “the event to be commemorated happened in the year 1758, in a region of the world unknown to the Greeks and Romans, and at a period when no warrior who wore classic costume existed. The same rule which gave law to the historian should govern the painter.” Reynolds was at length compelled to acknowledge the justice of the )opular verdict in favor of the new style, and to de- clare that “lV'egt has conquered. I foresee that this picture will not only become one of the most popular, but will occasion a revolu- tion in art." West was a sensible, kindly man, of pure life and lofty aims. His ambi- tion, unhappily, was far beyond his capacity as an artist, and his fame has steadily declined since his death. His highest distinction as an artist was his elevation to the presidency of the Royal Academyâ€"Harper’s Magazine. “a-.. Treatment of Children. BY MRS. R. Mothers, let us havea little chat together about the proper training of the little ones and the young people that are so soon to take our places in the busy work-a-day world perhaps we can get some new ideas from each other that will belielpful to all. I am not of those who think the little Ones can be put aside to care for themselves as best they may. They need watchful attention from the time they begin their education, which is the IllO< incnt they begin to observe how other people do, and try to imitate them. Children are great imitators ; how important then that we put a double guard upon our lips and our general conduct ; how important that we should be elways truthful and candid with them. Always say just what you mean to a child, and never break your word with them ; if necessary, put yourself to inconvenience ; disappoint yourself and your older friends if-_ need be, but keep faith with the little ones. Be careful not to promise more than you will be able to perform ; do not allow any one .to. frighten them in any way, either by telling stories or playing tricks on them. If they ask information, explain to them plainly and truthfully ; or if it is something they ought not to know, tell them so, do' not deceive time. If it becomes necessary to punish for a fault repeated, do not allow yourself to do it while you are angryâ€"~if you do you will do more than good; take them away from the in doing well at all times. Many chi dren have bccn'inade stubborn and wilful by mis- management; ‘Do not expect more of the young than the old i do not correct them for things that you, by example, teach them every dayweven the substance and tone of conversation will be imitated. If you wish your children to be lovers and retailers of scandal and gossip, you have only to talk regularly of the doings, sayings and imper- fections of 'your‘ineiglibors and associates, and allow them to tell‘you of the day’s do- ings at school, etc. \Vhatever is made the most of at home t'lie‘children are apt‘t‘o think is'best.

Some. peoplqjthink it a very fine thing to tease and torment children. Parents should not allow thisiyby compelling them always to act on the defensive, they will soon learn to be aggressive, and very often the sad re- sults in after life are traced to the spelling of the disposition of the young. Teach them that they are not to be loved for their pretty looks, or fine clothes, but for their good behavior and gentle ways. 0* USEFUL RECEIPTS.

The spine-bones must also be removed without injuring the fillet. Then divide the neck of mutton into as many cutlets as there are bones. From the upper part of each bone the meat must be detached f,‘ inch. Dip them in water and flatten them. Trim away the superfluous fat and sinewy parts. Season them with pepper and salt.

I To enable the Pu‘mmdc: syrup to do this, Sclien‘ck's Mandrake Pills and 5111 aims Sen Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse ills stomach and liver. Schenck‘s Mandrake Pills act Oil "the liver, removmg all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved. ‘ ‘ Schenck's Sea WI ed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative ; the alkali of which it is composed, mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists thi’dl- gestion by tonin up the stomach to a healthy condi- tion, so-that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and thé pa.- tient will surely get well if care is taken to prevent fresh cold. All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either personA ally or by letter, can do so at his rincipal office, can net of SIXTH and Anon STB., l’hiladelphia, every Monday.
