From tho Knb Kadra, a gate of Tunis, it is a drive of about nine miles to the site of Carthage, and it is a good day1! work to see no ruins scattered over territory tim e or four miles square. Above ground hardly one stone Is left upon another. Here ami there at wide Interval explorers have dug ditches and uncovered some pieces of tcssclaled pavement, or the floor and walls ami marble ba-uns of some bath. Near the sea at the Ilyrsa, the nncieiit citadel hill of the I'linm town, ami also a mile or two inland at tho Arab vil lage Kl Malka, aro vast cisterns or subterranean reservoirs, series of vaulted tanks of masonry which once held tho city a water supply. An amphitheater, tho outlines of which may be traced with difficulty, a theater that is a formless heap of half-buried ruins, great niases of fallen masonry, fragments of walls still in position, hillocks of rubbish, and everywhere the dust of three empires, and the debris of three Cartilages destroyed in succes sion the whole is still a puzzle to nrrlucologists and confusion to the mind of the traveler who goes thither prepared to expend sentiment over the remains of Dido's own town. The church of Koine holds a position of advantage with reference to the ruins of the city where so many early Christianssuflered martyrdom. A range of high hills stands bet ween the sea and the wiilo plain which stretches away to ward Tunis. The earliest Carthage was on these hills, closo to the port; the city as it grew reached out upon tho plain. Among the most conspicuous objects on the crest of the coast hills, either, from the Interior or from tho sea a you approach (Solelta, is the great white jialace occupied by Cardinal Lavigerie. Nearbvisthu vast cathedral which this ami. Ions and energetic prelate is carrying toward completion on historic ground. The ancient citadel of Car thage, as has been said, is crowned by the Chapel of St. Louis, erected by Louis l'liilippe in memory of his sainted but unlucky ancestor, who died here of the plague six hundred years ago, dur ing the efghlh crusade, while retreating from before the walls of Tunis. Here, too, Is the College of St. Louis. In the rich lowlands beneath the hills, on the Hide away from the sea, are the palaces and villas ot LI Mar-a, the It v s home. and the houses of many of his high oflicers of state or army. Still higher than tho Roman Catholic settlement, however, dominating it from tho side of the hill that is stopped by the Capo Carthage lighthouse, stand tho whitest of Moslem villages, the holy town of Sidi Uou Said. It is one of the most picturcsuuo places in the world, and is in other respects interest ing. Curiously enough, many of tho Arabs believe that SU Louis died a con vert to the Mohammedan faith, and that his remains are buried at Sidi Uou Said. The sacred ness of tho village, from whatever cause it may bo derived, is conlirmed by the residence there of the Sheik el Islam of Tunis. Cor. Bos ton Ulobe. A PEDDLER'S TRICK. InDuiince of Ignorant Twmlillo I'pon th Average lliuuiin llnlnf. It is to bo feared that the commercial morality of the country hawker is not yet above suspicion Thcso men are determined by honk or by crook to dis pose of their wares, and tliey aro mas ters of the arts of cajolery nnd finesse. Scores of entertaining nnd authentic anecdotes might bo given to bear out this statement. Wo subjoin a few: A vendor of cheap spectacles called on an ancient maiden lady and displayed his glittering stock. Tho lady remarked that sho had recently purchased a pair in a neighboring town. "Do they suit you, ma'am?" "Yes, I think so.11 "It's a serious thing to have spectacles that don't suit; very harmful, very. 1 ve traveled for years glasses of all descriptions, I've known a lot of mischief by glasses bought pernilscus like, don't mind a bit what they sell with and done They over counters, not they; they never look to seo tho customer again, likely. Now. I'm on this round regular, an1 it stands to reason as I liavo to bo wonderful care tub Might I have a glance nt these spectacles, ma'am?" Impressed by tho tone of respectful sympathy, the lady fetched them, and the hawker, with an assumption of much knowledge, turned them round nnd round and tested both glasses and frames. His verdict soon came: "I'm sorry, real sorry for ye, ma'am; yo'vo been deceived. These spectacles are really dangerous; blue steel frames o' this pattern and temper ll be sure to Injure tho temples." lie began to gather up his pack. "Then what do you lvcommen?'1 "Well, ma'am, 'tis a sacrillce; but, to oblige ye, I'll exchange a pair for these, if ye please; you'll lie safe then.11 With a little more persuasion the bargain was effected. A week later the lady re appeared at the shop from whence" had come the discarded pair of glasses. The new ones had proved utterly use less. She had to return, considerably poorerin pocket, if richer in experience, to those certain, in tho hawker's words, "to injure her temples."

I .1 young HioiisMT who uueuinu uiki uiiu- y discouraged because of tho seeming failure of Ids work among tho very poor. in spito oi nil iio-cotiiu cio, Appeared to mako littlo impression up on squalor, drunkenness, sin and death. At length, in real experience mid in dreamland vision, lie was made to see that ho had seemed to fail bo cause lie had come to think that the whole world was sharply divided ",,t0 two classes: those who helped, and those who received help; and that these two classes never exchanged members. Ho felt himself a dtier and iriver. entirely responsible for the welfare of those ho aided. and, in fact, belonging to a different religious caste. The idea that he could learn, and receive bcnelit from, poor outcast children or starving men, never entered his head; nor did he stop to think that (imI, and not he, was re sponsible for thin"s when man had done his best. Not until suffering and espomlency had cleared his mind, did he learn that this is a world of mutual helpfulness and instruction, in which wo learn as well as teach ami receive bcnelit from others as truly as we give it. ' ' This yoniiff curate, with his half- ncknowlcdgcd ideas that he was re sponsible for the moral universe, and had no lessons of courage and trust to learn from his inferiors, was not alone in possessing those notions A good many excellent people talk about re. ligioiis work, and charitable organiza tion, and b lielieences of all kinds, just as tho curate did. They awe so ac customed to give out, that the idea of taking in hardly occurs to them. Hence a "rood part of their wcll-doin fails of its proper result, and they come dangerously near the sin of giving for some other sake than Christ's, Un consciously tho idea of mastery, of proprietorship, oi dispensiii"' one s own in one's own way, steals in upon the sweet and loving charity we are bidden to strive for. lhe Lord wants nil our lives, strength, money nnd in terest in our fellows; but when we have given all, he, and not we, must be re sponsible for the result. Witli the vast and noble increase of religious and pnilantlirupiu work which has so brightly characterized the nineteenth century now closing, there has grown nil the while tins idea of corporate beneficence, of "aste helpfulness, of the division of the world into great clans of givers nnd takers. N belit tling of the vast results achieved since lids century began is included in one' reflection upon this thought, but rather tho farther uplifting of powers that al ready have done so much good. How can we givo all wo now give, nnd moro, and vet eliminato every trace of unconscious Pharisaism? S.-S. Times, WORD TWISTINGS. A Falling to XVIilrh Mnn.r Nervoim Public Speakers Are Subject. "My clear boy,1' oneo asked a head master of a Philistine member of his sixth form, "do you mean to say that you hnvo never heard of that magnif'b cent statue of Michael Angelo, by Moses?'1 Clergymen seem especially addicted to this habit, perhaps bo- causo their excessivo anxiety to bo correct renders them nervous, and to thoso of their congregation who are gifted, fortunately or unfortunately, with a keen sense of tho ridiculous. such slips aro excessively, trying from tho impropriety of openly testifying appreciation. "Sorrow may endure for a joy,' so an Irish clergyman is re ported to havo read with the utmost feeling; "but night cometh in the morning!" With a' transposition of initial letters a new Held oi solecism is opened up, in which a living cleric, in other respects intelligent and ac eomplished, works with an involun tary assiduity tli it is most upsetting to his hearers. "My brethren, so ran one of bis most startling nnniunee- merits "we all know whaf. it is to havo a half-wanned fish fL e., half- formed wish in our hearts." With him, however, tho mischief g es fur ther, extending to a mutual enlan;! !- ment of words which is terrible to con template. He has been known to speak of "kinquering congs,1' and on ono occasion, ever nienmriblo to his Interlocutor, addressing himself to a gentleman who had intruded upon his seat in church, he politely remarked: "Pardon me. sir, but 1 think you are necopewing my pie." Here wo are next door tithe carrying out of the portmanteau prin ciple, n proximity illustrated by the feats of two oilier clergymen, one of whom gave out his text from "th Colostle to the Kpissians," whilo the other read "kaee of an idol." for "eve of a needle." The rector of an Irish country parish, whose church the writer has frequently attended, was liable, out of nervousness to contort and entanglo his words in strange fashion. Thus wo have heard him speak of tho "iniperfurities" of man, when it was quite obvious that he could not mako up his mind between "imperfections1' and "impurities." and ended by amalgamating the two words into one.

ISttt the most successful artist fakir if I may bo allowed such a term is lie who does life-size portraits from ptioto-tM-apiis by means of solar printing. Tho solar printing enlarges the photo graph, and tho mechanical artist dashes off the crayon, thus saving him tho labor of drawing tho features. It is a quick method, and enables the busy artist to do moro work. Many photographers have their pictures mado life-sizo by crayon artists for $8 apiece. I supposo, though, that the photographer gels moro than ?fl from his customers. ' Sonio of theso artists do a larsro ainount of work, and do it more rapidly than the scenic artist. I divped into tho studio of a success ful crayon artist not long ago and found him rushing off portraits at irrcat rate. He said lie was in a big hurry t ) do several portrait' and asked nie to help him. I told him I did not do that kind of work.

Ho doesn't use the solar printing plan. Of course there are soni j artists o i the Howery who turn out life-size bust por traits at !?l ami $'; but these aro h.id, even from a crayon artists point of view. The best artists rarely go under $15. unless they are doing work wholesale for photographers. The Art League frequently graduates first- class crayon artists by simply letting them know that they have no art in stinct above the mechanical. This in formation saves tho student vears of useless study. Tho crayon artist do- serves credit for his true mechanical methods, and his cheap prices do not interfere with other artists who are not mechanical. Solar printing has brought life-size crayon and pastel por traits within tho iurvi"W of very limited purses." .V. Y Miil an I Ex press. FLORAL TRIBUTES.

A few dav later, in conversation with Colonel Fil Grant, I learned the sources of the garlands, and also that their uscfuln s outlives their hearty. He said: "Onco every, week niv mother takes out a large de sign made of cut flowers. These re main there until sho orders the guard to remove them and replace them with the fresh ones she may solid. So that all tho time her selection of flowers is there." "The other flowors are from friend c, then? ' Some ere. Tint tho maj irity are from strung ts.

Thon privato people, both of this and other cities send beautiful rem inbrauces in floral work. They never go to waste. Solicita tions arrive in numbers daily from people of all classes and stations in life, begging for some memento from General Grant's t nub. They ask thing, if it be no moro than a withered leave or bud. The guards are c uitiuuallv promising the faded flowers to visitors, always providing Mrs. Grant gives permission or lias not promised them elsewhere.11 .V. J'. Cor. fhilttdelphia Tress.

Tho annual celebration of the Dec laration of Independence occurring aoon, a few suggestions may not bo in appropriate at this tinio. Therefore, my son. let mo warn you against being too Inquisitive. To peer into the muzzle of a gun whilo your companion is experimenting upon tho mechanism at the opposite end of the weapon may bo quite praiseworthy in a strictly scientilie point of view, but the practice is likely to bo attended by painful results. That is to say, tho re sults aro sometimes painful; in many cases tho effect is altogether painless, but tiioy are lasting. Do not blow into the smoking end of n fire-cracker. Tho lire-cracker is lit tle, but it can blow very much harder than you. If you aro firing a cannon, nnd wish to extract tho greatest possible amount of amusement out of tho exercise, iu duco the person who thumbs the vent to uncover tho nolo nt tne proper mo ment, and the effect will be startling. It may remove some of your members, or even yourself; but then, there is tho offset that you will savo a great deal of money that would otherwise lie ex pended upon gloves, and thcro is tho added possibility that your board and clothes will cost you nothing hence forth. ' Tho spirit of 1776, which you have heard so much about, is not of that brand obtainable at the saloon. A great many persona are not n ware of this fact, or at jill events they get the two varieties so confounded that they make a confoundedly bad appearance and feel confoundedly bad the day after. Do not think, because a young lady acquaintance smiles upon you on this day of days, that she is desperately in love with you. Ice-cream and soda are extremely palatable to the female taste, ami a smile is neither exhaust ing to the purse (iTio purso of tho smiler) nor detrimental to the physical system (unless the smiler assimilate too in tie li of tho i. c. and s). Of course, you will not go upon the water in a suit-boat, unless you are wholly unacquainted with the art of navigation. If you know nothing about sailing a boat, you will have a line time, besides getting a nice bath' without the trouble of undressing. I should, also advise you to cat all the cakes, peanuts and such other con diments as are dispensed by peripatetic dealers. The proper study of mankind is man, and it is, therefore, well to know how much one's stomach will bear. You will not forget to buy a whip. Why you should buy oue, or what earthly connection there can bo be tween a ten-cent whip and the Dec laration of Independence I am unable to say; but as it seems to be the proper thing to do, don't forget to supply yourself with n whip. In order to obtain t he greatest possi ble results from a lire-cracker, do not throw it in tho street (unless a restive horse happens to bo passing); but pro ject it into some house in process of construction, wnero shavings are plentiful. You will be surprised nt the success which will reward your care and forethought Before entering a crowd, take the precaution to unbutton your coat Remember that while you are enjoying a holiday, there are people who have to work; and by adopting the advice offered you can savo the light-lingered gentry no end of trouble. Drink all the ice-water possible. Tho more you drink tho more you will crave it, and every body knows that there is no greater pleasure in life than satisfying one's cravings.
