The young Chemist Dumas made at Geneva the acquaintance of a man, amongst whose varied gifts the fascinating sway he exercised over youthful minds was not the least. Let me try to givo the story in the very words in which I heard it from Dumas mouth. "One day," he 6aid, "when I was in my study completing some drawings at the microscope, and, it must be added, rather negligently attired, in order to enable me to move more freely, some one mounted the stairs, stopped on my, landing, and gently knocked at the door. 'Come in, said I, without looking up from my work. On turn ing round I was surprised to find myself face to face with a gentleman, in a bright blue coat with metal buttons, a white waist-coat, nankeen breeches, and top boots. This cos tume, which might have been the fashion under the directory, was then quite out of date. The wearer of it, his head somewhat bent, his eyes doep-set but keen, advanced with a pleasant smile, saying: 'Monsieur Dumas?' 'The same, sir; but excuse me.' 'Don't disturb yourself. I am M. de Humboldt, and did not wish to pass through Geneva, without having had the pleasure of seeing you.' 'Throwing on my coat, I hastily reiterated my apologies. I had only one chair. My visitor was pleased to accept it, whilst I returned my elevated perch on the drawing, stool. Baron Humboldt hd read the papers published by M. Prevost and myself, on blood, which had just appeared in the Bibliothf que Universelle, and was anxious to see the preparations I had by -me. His wish was soon gratified. 'I am going to the Congress at Verona,' said he, 'and I intend to spend some days at Geneva, to see old friends and to make new ones, and more especially to become acquainted with young people who are beginning their career. Will you act as my cicerone? I warn you, however, that my rambles begin early and end late. Now, could you be at my disposal, say from 6 in the morning tiU midnight?' This proposal, which was of course, accepted with alacrity, proved to me a source of unexpected pleasure. Baron Humboldt was fond of talk ing; he passed from one subject to another without stopping. He obviously liked Ixnng listened to, and there was no fear of his beinj: interrupted by a young man who for the first time heard Laplace, Berthollet, Gay Lussac, Arago, Thenard, Cuvier and many others of the Parisian celebrities spoken of with familiarity. "I listened with a strange delight; a new horizon began to dawn upon me. Save the time devoted to some visits, I was allowed to remain the whole day with Humboldt, who darted from point to point over the vast range of his recollections, whilst I endeavored to keep pace with the uninterrupted Sow of his narrative. Sometimes the moun tain scenery would remind him of the Cordilleras, though it must be confessed, he did not think much even of Mont Blanc. Sometimes he turned to science; and then astronomy and pkysics, chemistry and the natural history branches would, in rapid succession come in for their share in the dialogue, or rather, monologue, which, spoken in a low, somewhat monotonous tone, would have scarcely appear-ad impressive, had it not been for some waggish pleasantry which now and then escaped, as it were involuntarily. But, at any rate, if his voice failed to be effective, the glance of his eye was sufficient to rivet his hearers' attention.' A sure basis of popularity merit, "apparent to a cloud of witnesses," is the basis upon which the popularity of Thomas' Kclectric Oil is founded. Throat and lung complain ts, pain, soreness, stiffness, swelling, burns, and ailments of various other kinds, yield to the action of this speedy and safe remedy.

MARRIAGE IX EGYPT.

OlrU Sometime Betrothed at the Age of Five Tear and Married at 10 The Price of a Wife From Five Shilling to Sl.SOO. When an Egyptian wants a wife, he is not allowed to visit the harems of his friends to select one, for Mob. a ramed forbade men , to urn the faco of any woman they could marry, that is to fay, any besides their mothers or 8uUra. A man is, therefore, obliged to employ a "khatbeth,' or matchmaker, to find one for him, for which service of course she expt-cU 4backheib.,, that is, payment. TI,o LtiottvntVi liaT'incr founds. rirL recom. mends her to the man exceedingly beautifu! and eminently suitable to him. The father is then waited upon to ascertain the dowry he requires; for all wive are purLhased as they were in patriarcnai aays. When Jacob had no money to pay for Rachel he served her father seven years as an equivalent, and. when dupd, was obliged to serve a second time to secure his prize. (Gen. xxix). Fathers still refuse to give a younger daughter in marriage before an elder shall have been married. The people of Armenia, in Asiatic Turkey, forbid a younger son to mftrrv before an elder, and this is likewise the läw of the Hindoos. The price of a wife vanes from five shil lings to $1,500. The girl may not be more than live or six years old. but, whatever her age, two-thirds of the dowry is at once paid to the father, in the Dresence ot witnesses, ine father then or his representative says: 'l betroth to thee my daughter," and the young man responds, "I accept of such betrothal." Unless amon? the lower classes, the father expends the dowry in the purchase of dress, ornaments, or furniture for the bride, which never becomes the property of her husband Even when betrothed, the intercourse oi the . . rrs a 1 II narties is verv restricted, ine arDS win not allow them to see each other: but the Jews are not quite to stringent.

anu taiaeu to vue wwuau, vi wi-vu and ''after a time, he returned to take her." Girls are demanded at the age of 10, and be tween that and 16 years; but after 16 few mon will seek them, and the dowry expected is then proportion ably low. Girls in Ecvnt are often mothers at 13 o t , , and grandmothers at 20, and in Persia they are said to be mothers at 11, grandmothers at 22 and past child bearing at 30. W hen a mn demands his betrothed a dav is fixed 4V.- fVi ntinttalj and fir aMVan nicTlt lrffi'ire he is expected to cive a feaet, vhieb, how ever, is furnished by the guests themselves Thus one sends coffee, another rice, another sugar, etc. The principal time of this con tinucd feast is the night beforo the consum mation. The conduct is intrusted to the 'friend of the bridegroom" (John iii. ,29). About the middle of this day the bride ar rives at the house and retires to the h.rem. where she sits with her mother, sister and female friends. At the third cr fourth watch of the night three or four hours after sunset the bridegroom, who has not yet seen his fair one, goes to the mosque to pray, accompanied by "nieshals," or torches and lanterns, with music. Upon his Teturn he is introduced to his bride, with whom, hav ing given her attendant a presqnt to retire, he is left alone. He then throws off her vail and for the first time sees her face. If satis fied, he informs the women outside, who im mediately express their joy by screaming "Zuggareet, which is echoed by the women in the house and then by those in the neigh borhood. Stolen fruits may be sweetest, but when a boy finds himself in an apple tree with a dog at the foot, he discovers that the apples are sour, xou can t patch up his wounded feel ings with such tatfy as that, but you can patch up his wounds with Dr. Thomas Exlecsric Oil. For sale by J. B. Dill. Signs and Portents. To dream of a wedding is a sign of inani tion. To dream of a funeral betokens too much pork and cabbage. : To dream of finding money betokens that it is easier to dream of finding money than to work for it. If you take down your shingle preparatory to putting it up in a new location, it is a sign that- you are moving. When you see a cat running around furiously it is a sign that the crockery or glassware is in danger. A red sky in the west at evening indicates that the next day will be pleasant barring accidents of rain, snow and hail. When a mouse gnaws a hole in a gown some misfortune may be apprehended. The misfortune has already happened to the gown and may be apprehended to happen to the mouse. Whoever finds a four-leafed clover is generally a liar it is 60 much easier to detach one leaf from a five-leaf stick than to hunt for one with four; and the temptation to mendacity is too much for common clay. ' If a hen runs across the street directly in front of you, it is a sign that a hen will soon be on the other side. If she crosses over iust behind you p?haw! who ever knew a he that wouldn't die right in her tracks rather than cross his pathway in his rear? An old sign is that a child grows proud if sunered to look in a mirror when less than 12 months old; but what the average infant can see in a mirror to make it proud is diffi cult for any but its parents to understand. When you drop a knife, and it sticks in the floor, it is a sign that some one is coming; If you are a small boy, that some one may be your mother, and her coming may be to remonstrate with her slippei. To dream that it is Sunday morning is heaven. To be suddenly awakened from your sweetest sleep to find that it is not Sunday is that is to say very disagreeable. It is a sign that you will be unhappy. A great many more equally infallible signs might be given; but tne reader has probably had enough for one dav, The man who believes in signs is sufficiently credulous to believe that our knowledge in that line, as well as in every other, is inexhaustible. Not worth a red cent. This is what I had said nbjut every advertised medicine I had used, until I tried Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil.

" Dave o port Gasette.J Many of the women were very elegantly and even richly dressed, and all, from the richest to tho poorest, wore "trains."' The fact is, a Mexican woman without a train would be as wretched as a bishop without an apron. From the proudest senorita and the lowest house servant or washerwoman, unless they are so old as to have lost all sense of the ridiculous, they all wear them, and they never "clew" them up as th e American women do, but let them nutter and spread to the fullest extent. Occasionally one may be seen trying to take a reef in them in imitation of their foreign sisters, but they always look so sorry about it that it awakens my sympathy. Politeness is said to be a national trait, and it is sometimes so extreme as to "almost take your breath away." If you take a letter of introduction to a Mexican he at once assures you that his house, his servants, and all that he has are at your disposal, and that he will bo in readiness at all times to serve you as it may please you to direct, and he does it with suen an air of sincerity that it places you at once at ease, except to find fitting words to express .your gratitude. If you make a mistake in any way, and he sees that it is a mistake, he will not show you by the movement of a muscle but what you. have done the most proper thing , that you could possibly have done. If you greet him with a Spanish "good morning" at 9 o'clock at nlgnt he will look u solemn ai

though sentence of death was parsed on him

while he returns your greeting with a "good morning" also. This is a great disadvantage sometimes for a teacher of Spanish, for foreigners will not correct their oral mistakes, though he will correct their written exercises without hesitation. When Mr. Foster visited Monterey last summer he was given a state dinner. When the coffee was served, the sugar was on the table in pretty large pieces. Mr. Foster took one, and, as it was larger than he want ed, he broke off a piece and placed what was left by his plate, and all the Mexican cuests did the same thing. It is said thut even the ''road agents will rob a man wah as much politeness as though thev were asking a per sonal favor, but of this 1 hope to have no personal experience. Fish Biting Numerously.
