Fau Francisco Argonaut
During tho serenade Putti pat toil
around tho hotel I'orridor with all the
glee ot a small child who lias just
leu-nod to walk and is stiil proud of it.
She wore a short white dross of nun's
ve.ling. simple in fabric, but irresistibly
well made, a luce scurf over lior head,
a:id she flashed liko a head-light every
t.me she moved, Positivly it was not
safe to leave tho diamou.ls in the room,
so she put tlioin on as an easy way to
carry them. Possibly, too, she put
thorn on as a harmless bit of satisfac
tion for tho nntltitudo. Patti is politic.
She leaned ovor tho rail at thoso tierce,
dihoordaut shrieks rose from tho or
chestra, and waved bor handkerchief
ecstatically as t.iougU she had never
heard such music before. Probably
she never had. Spcranza meant woll,
of course, and (iod will forgive him
berausd ho perpetrated it in a spirit of
patriotism, the purest and moA exalted
of motives.
The multitude mode it very uncom
fortable for I'atti. We surrounded her
bo pressingly that the little woman had
not the amount of room in the corridor
wk oh nature intended bor to take up
in the scheme of spaco, she was
guarded on either side, however, by a
couple of apparent Italians, tho one
short and fat, the other tail, dark aud
pale. An Italian valet followed re
spectfully in tho roar, l.tden with extra
shawls. Tho tall, dark, pale man we
assumed to bo Nicoliui. He was not
beautiful, aud the public freely told
him so. If he understood l'.ngl sh, the
man must havo readied his room after
the triumphal parade of the quartette
arottud the corridors with no desire
ever to look in the glass again.
M What, is that Nieoliui?" the chorus
would come in stage whispers from
every group tliut they passed. "That
Niolinir Why, 1 thought that sho
hud at least tho excuse of his being
handsome; but who in tho world co.ild
ever stand an old black crow like
that?"
Tho old black crow nover winced
under this liroof remark, but it secmod
to afford some slight amusomeut to the
valet with the shawls.
The valet was Nioolini.
The Religion of the Copts.
Iluter Ocean.)
The ancient poople known as tho
Copts, or uimmel Kgyptians, regard
themselves as tho true founders aud pro
servers of tho orthodox Christian
church. This people, distinctly derived
from the old inhabitants of the laud,
were the first to embrace Christianity;
and throughout the many disasters of
change in Egyptian rule, the persecu
tions and martyrdom entailed by Mos
lem opposition, tiio Copts through
their descendants havo maintained, if
not in purity at Icatt in spirit, the early
Christian faith. The time of tho r
greatest strength, perhaps, was alter
they had gathered, avo.ding tho hos
tility of J'ioclct.an, in the fortified
town of Coptos, of which now only a
few ruins may be seen on tho way from
l airo to I.uxor up the Nile. In the city of
Cairo, however, are to bo found tho best
evidences, ancient and modern, of tho
mutations through which this hardy
sect passed iu the successful attempt to
preserve the principles of their religion.
They are a well-behaved, iuottcusivo
poople, and have preserved fairly in
corrupted tho .early doctrines of tho
church. They are all educated, and
constitute the most industrious and en
terprising of the community, and siuee
from time to time disabilities havo been
removed, thore is now wealth aud pros
perity among them. Tho hopo is there
fore entertained that tho old religious
vitality may be revived in tho church
bones now exceedingly dry. There is
very good material to begin with, as
there are 2f0,00l) of them in I'pper
l.gypt and 50.OOJ iu tho Delta. Tho
occupancy of Egypt by the English
government will a fiord tho Copts
tho very encouragement thoy need.
Thoy are already kindly dinpos.nl to
ward tho English, as - tho lir.tish vic
tory at Tel-ol-Kebir saved thorn from
a threatened and bloody m ansae ro ut
tho hands of tho mob. Cautious pro
cedure will be necessary, however.
The Copti would resout anvlh n; that
resembled evangelism or mission work,
for thoy regard thomselves as tho
representative of the orthodox Chris
tian church.
The Practical lilo of tie 4erinaiiH.
H teh ill Hi Sunday Iloritld.j
There is probably no nation upon the
face of tho earth that knows so well
what tho enjoyment of lifo means as
the (iormuu. They are practical in
everything they undertake, and make
it a part of their business to find o.it all
the beauty there is in living, and to
tnuke the most of it when they do find
it. Their homes aro more than mere
places of shelter, to eat ond sleep in.
l.ven in the, humblest of these there is
a pleasing atte nptof tho inmates to
spread cheerfulness about them, notably
in tiie decoration of their windows with
flowering plants and trailing vines.
They are ulso practical in their charity,
and such a thing as a broken limb, for
the want of a shovelful of ashes or
sawdust on an icy pavement, does not
happen in front of thoir homes. We
Americans might learn a little human
ity, if nothing else, from tho Germans.

or less agitated, owing to outside specu
lative operations, 'i rude is dull and price
are irregular. For anything that can be
classed as No. 1 Feed, 821c V ctl is the ask
ing figure, while some choice lots are held
at $1. No business, however, Is reported
at these figures. Still, on call, $1 If ctl
