PKCULIA RJTJKS OF THE A RA BS. No Arab is ever curious. Curiosity with all the Eastern nations is considered unmanly. No Arab will stop in the street, or turn his bead to listen to the talk of bystanders. No Arab will irice, play on an instrument, or indulge in cards or any game of chance, sim-e icamcs 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 buslne«s. Their temperance, their constant outdoor habits, render all out-door exercise for exercise sake unnecessary 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 and down In a nubile place in Algeria they say, "Look, look the Christian* are going mad The Arab does not even mount on horseback except as matter of business or for his public fetes and carousals. And when you do walk, you should not walk quickly. Just as in speaking, you should not talk fast or loud, for the Koran tells you, "Endeavor to moderate tho step, and to speak in a low tone, for the most disagreeable of voices is the voice of the as*.

Indeed, it was observed by a famous Arib, ''Countless are the vices of men, but one thing will redeem all, propriety of speech." And again, "Of the word which is not spoken, I am the master, but of tho word which is spok en, lam tho slave." The famous por verb, speech is of silver, but silence is of gold, is a motto of Arabic origin.

A silent, grave people are the Arabs, and a polite one, too, very much given nevertheless, to highway fobery on a large scale, which they carazzi is in A1 ftma but tho Arab's tent IM always open to you, and you can get any amount conscons siu, camel's milk or even roasted mutton it he has it. You will be treated is a guest from God as long as you are under Ills roof, after which your happiness is in your own hand*, which means that your host who fed you in the evening, may, at a de cent distance fioni his tent, riflo your saddle bag In the morning, and let the powder speak to you if you object, after which Allah l»o merciful to you.

In these days of great complain'* against the extortions of railroads it is refr« shing to hear of cor|»orations th it studv the comfort of their msengers. Much an one, according to J. W. Parker, is the went miles of road from icksonv lie to Waverley.

For this piece ol |Mlitein-sn the lady nturned thanks and i» peck of app'ex. Pheriilroid men accepted Imth, ami returning. divWbd the apples among the issengers. One of the passenger* had a note that was overdue,on a farmer near the tr ick. The conductor stopped the train, hunted up the in th'-v sit down, reckoned the interest, paid the money, and the happy recipient got on the train again, and proceeded on his way. Itv tills time the apples presented by tne la-ly nl l»een itmsunied, and as the rain was passing a I true orchard, the conductor stopped the rain tV»r a third time to allow the pas senger* time to till their pockets. Iu answer to remarks that it wismii ciiiIm entlv areomni'Mlating road, he replied:

TERRK-HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL DECEMBER *16.1871.

(Frem the it. Jeseph (Mo.) Herald.1 THE CANNIBALS.

DistinffuiMked Visitors from A« F$ehe Island—Hoto That Look, What They Have Done, and What They Said.

In our last issuf we briefly snnounced the arrival in St. Joseph of several natives of the Feejee Island, genuine man-eaters. The proprietor yesterday "ffored the highest (Feejee) market price for a lot of twentv or more tine tat babies, In order to gtve the stranger- a good square meal, but could find no mothers having spare children in good condition for the spit then, too, the cold snap operated unfavorbly on our visitors. Fearing that the Feejeehiis would die either from starvation or cold, the manager bundled tbtm up and took the first train for tbe South, pnmiislngto visit St. Joseph some lime next summer. The distinguished visitors were lour in number. First in importance was tbe Priucesa Obavah, a fat, lubberly female of about 25 years, the granddaughter of an Emperor of '200,000 people. She la a Christian, and IIMS lost all fondness for human flesh. Then in importance came Kabiau, a dwarf, over thirty-five years old, and only two feet high. Chief of the Rewa tribe. Their two companions were R%teu and Boco Yoco, chief of the town of lotaga, in the Island of Ovalau, and Kaleu Mas Moa, chief iu B«u, the main town in the Feejee Islands. The two gentleman last named were of middle size, strong-11 in bad and strong-uoeked, with a complexion between a copper color and a black, with dark, curly, and bushy hair. While at the depot they attmcted considerable attention a reporter of the Herald chanced to be there at the tluie, and Interviewed the princess, who had some smattering ot the English tongue, and willingly an swered all questions propounded to her. Sho complained bitterly of the cold, and wondered how auy one could live here through the winter. She liked a climate where she could go naked despite her conversion to Christianity her clothes didn't feel comfortable on her She had helped to eat quite a number of her countryman, aud had two or three fine chops out of several missionaries, but that was before ahe was con verted to Christianity, and she was now heartily ashamed of her conduct ou those occasions. She was surprised to see so nwmv old helpless men and women iti America iu Feejee, when tho natives became old anil infirm the young, men summarily released them from their earthly troubles by means of a club or an axe. She thought the women here were t'O lazy, and that the liish would da them good. In her native land tho women do all the work, as it was lit and proper they should. She was surprised, too, to find that men here only had one wife apiece, and seem satisfied. In Feejee a big chief often had four or five hundred wives, and even men of the most ordinary rank had five or six women to do their work. She then introduced the reporter to tho dwarf, who had eaten nineteen ministers, all good and pious men, a ml had picked his teeth with the bones of their innocent offspring. He still maintained a remarkable fondness ror sin ill children, but she hopes that lie will soon become civil zed and Christianised. The two other chiefs, -the s.id. were horrible cannibals, with insali bio appetites for human flesh.They did not have any great fondness lor white men, although they h-ul, several years ago, helped local some twenshipwrecked sailors. IJut their fondiess tor colored men seemed unabated, nil a earful guard was kept upon them whenever a lady or a gentleman of colchanced in il»«ir presence. Vt this Interesting stage of the conversation the lrajn came rushing into the depot md the Feijieans VMsttly gobbled np iheir traps and hurried ii^lo lb* cars.

MUSIC OF CHOIRS.

Last evening as wo were walking leisurely along, as tho music of the •lioir» iii three churches came floating ui in the darkness around us, nnd tiny were all new and strange tunes but. oil". And that one—it was not »ong as we ive heard it, but awakenHI a train ot long burled memories that roie to us even as they were before he cemetery of tho soul* had a tomb iu it.

It was the sweet '"Corinth" they were singing—strains we have seldom lii'anl since the nse color of life is blanched, and we were in a moment Ixick again to the old village church, md it is a summer afternoon, end ihe yellow sunbeam* were streaming through the west windows, snd the silver Ir of the old dcacon who sat in the pulpit was turned to gold iu its light and the minister who we used think could nover die, so good is he, »d concluded "application," "exhortation," and the viilege choir was -ingMitr the hisi hymn, aud the tune is

Corin h."

It Is years—we dare not think how m»u\—since then, and the pra\ers of "David the son of Jesse, arc ended," an I

th4

Htoir is sc utem! and gone.

Die girl with the blue eyi that sing alto and the pirlwith black that sang air—the eyas of one were like a clear June heaven at night, aud those of the «•tiler the une he.iven at noon. They boili beeme wives, and both mothers, ind tiny bothdied. Who shall say they are not winging Corinth still, where -ahbaths never wane, and congregations never breakup? Then* they sat SatitMtb after Sibbath, by the square column at the right of the "leader," and to our young evw they were passing beautiful, and to our young ears they wen* the very "soul ot music," That column bear* still their peie lled names as thev wrote them in those days iu lift»*s June 183—, before dreams of "change had come over iheit spirits, like a summer's c'oud.

A I..a that with the old singers most of tbe old, tbe sweet old tunes have died pun the air but they linger in m»ry, and th« sh di vet be sung agdii in the sweet reunion of song tb «t shall tskeplsee by and bv inn dl whose columns *i beams of morning I tbt, wttoMNH ceiling Is pure pearl, wh'* floors are all gold, and wh hair never turns sllverv. aud where hearts nev.-r grov old. Then sh»»ih«t autgsllo and aba thai amg »lr will be In tWlr places once more.—[It. K. Taytor.
