Indeed, it, was observed by a famous Arab, '•Countless are the vices of men, but one thing will redeem all, propriety of speech." And again, "Of the word which ia not spoken, I am the master, but of tho word which is spoken, Iain tho slave." The famous por verb, s|Hech is of silver, but silence ii of gold, is a motto of Arabic origin.

A silent, grave peoplo are the Arabs, and a polite one, too, very much given nevertheless, to highway robery on a large scale, which tliey carazzi ut in Al f^ria but the Arab's tent is always open to you, and you

This, then, to the character which the •on of the Qneen of England bears in the estimation of the vaat majority of hia mother's subject*. Almoat any and every one you meet in I/ndon will tell you. as something beyond donbt, that the Prince of Walea ia dull, stingy, coarwe and profligate.

Mr. McCarthy gees on to discuss th'* prospects of his reign bat th«t in fliction on England seems to be nvert etl, it is not necessary to iollow him ftirtber.

PECULIAR IT IKS OF THE A RABS. No Arab Is ever curious. Curiosity with all the Eastern nations is consid ered unmanly. No Arab will stop in the street, or turn his bead to listen to the talk of bystanders. No Arab will mc«, play on an instrument, or indulge in cards or any game of chance, sin«"e games of chance are forbidden by the Koran. Never, moreover, invite an Arab to take a walk with you for pleasure. Although the Arabs are on occasion good walkers, they have no notion of walking for amusement. They only walk as a matter of business. Their temperance, their constant outdoor habits, render all out-door exorcise for exeroiso sake unnecess "ry they cannot, therefore understand the pleasure of walking for walking's sake. What Arabs like best is to sit still, and when they see Europeans walking up nnd down in a public place in Algeria they say, "Look, look! the Christians are going mad!" The Arab does not even mount on horseback except aa a matter of business or for his public fetes and carousals. And when you do walk, you should not walk quickly, just as In speitking, you should not talk fast or loud, lor the Koran tella you, "Endeavor to moderate tho step, and to speak In a low tone, for the most disagreeable of voices is the voice ot the ass."

TKRRK-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAlU DECEMBKR 16. 1871.

I From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Hemld. TUB CANNIBALS.

JXatimffuigked Visitor* from the Fteiee aland—How Thty Look, What They Have Done, and What They Said.

In our last issue we briefly announced the arrival in St. Joseph of several natives of the Feejee Island, genuine man-eaters. The proprietor yesterday offered the hlgheat (Feejee) market price for a lot of twentv or more line tilt babies, in order to give the stranger-. a good square meal, but could find uu mothers having spare children in good condition for the spit then, too, the cold snap operated unfavorbly on our visitors. Fearing that the Feejeeans would die either from starvBtlon or cold, the manager bundled thtm up and took the first train for the South, promising to visit St. Joseph some time next summer. The distinguished visitors were lour in number. First in importance was the Princess Obavab, a (at, lubberly female of about 25 years, the granddaughter of an Emperor of 200,000 people. Sbe is a Christian, and h«s lost all fondness for human flesh. Then in importance came Rabiau, a dwarf, over thirty-five years old. and only two feet hush. Chief of the Rewa tribe. Their two companions were Rateu and IJoco Yoco, chief of the town of lotus*, in the Island of Ovalau, and lialeu Mas Moa, chief in Btu, the main town in the Feejee Islands. The two gentleman last named were of middle aiz»«, strong-limb«xi and strong-uoeked, with a complexion between a copper color and a black, with dark, curly, and bushy hair. While at the depot they attracted considerable attention a reporter of the Herald chanoed to be there at the time, and interviewed the princess, who had some smattering of the English tongue, ar.d willingly answered all questions propounded to her. Sho complained bitterly of the cold, and wondered bow any one could live here through tne winter. She liked a climate where she could go naked despite her conversion to Christianity ber clothes didn*t feel comfortable on her. Sho had helped to eat quite a number »f ber country man, and hud two or three fine chops out of several missionaries, but that was before she is converted to Christianity, and she was now heartily ashamed of her conduct ou those occasions. She was surprised to see so nvinv old helpless men and women in America in Feejee, when the natives became old and infirm the young, men summarily released them from their earthly troubles by means of a club or an axe. Sho thought the women here were t-o lazv, and that be, I.ish would da them good. In her native land tho women do all the work, is it was fit and proper they should. She was surprised, too, to find that men here only had one wile apiece, and seem satisfied. In Feejee a big chief often had four or five hundred wives, and oven men of the most ordinary rank had five or 8ix women to do their work. She then introduced the reporter to the dwarf, who bad eaten nineteen ministers, all good and pious men, and had picked his teeth with the bones of I heir innocent offspring. He still maintained a remarkable fondness or sin dl children, but sho hopes that ho will soon become civil zed nnd Christianized. The two other chiefs, she s-id. were horrible cannibals, with insati bie nppetites for human flesh.I'hey did not have any great fondness tor whito men, although they had, several years ago, helped to oat some twenshipwrecked dlors. Hut their fond ness lor colored men seemed unabated, ml a earful guard was kept upon them whenever a lady or a gentleman of oolir eluineed in tl»«lr presence. Vt this Interesting stage of the conversation tie trajn e.iine rushing into the depot md the Fcijteaiis !«asttly gobbled up heir traps and hurried it^to tb£Cjj£j?,

There they sat S.ihlMlb after S«bbath, by the square column at the right of the "leader," and to our votimt evi's tliey were uwiii* beautiful, and to our young ears they were the very "soul of music," That column bears still their peie Ued names as thev wrote them iu those days in life's June 183—, before dreams of change ba«l come over theii spirits, like a suiiiliter's ciotid.
