It rends like a passage from condo opera when we and that in the beginning of 1800 "business was practioallY sus- pended in nearly all the government offices in order that those of their staffs Who kno^, French might be employed in translating the 'fEil Crete,' the 'Belle Helene,' the'Marfee de Mardi -Gras' and other chefs d'oeuvres of Offenbach into Arabic for the use of the harem ladies." In May the khedive gave a grand hall to celebrate his accession. One of the items of expenditure on this occasion was the throwing of a temporary bridge over the Nile, at a cost of £8,000. And then in November came the Crowning splendors of the opening of the canal, The empress of France, the em• peror of Austria and the crown prince of Prussia were the most notable of the guests; but there was a niulti'tude— amounting, it is said, to thousands—of less distinguished persons, who *ere en. tertained in a most extravagant style, £4 per head being paid for tile hotel bills of each guest at the canal and £2 12s. at Cairo. The whole expenditure of the fetes came to considerably More than £1,000,000, Even literature got some pickings out of this gorl;eous outlay, the author of an official history of the cere t mony being paid £1,000 for "copy." Doubtless Ismail fancied that by this costly outlay he was building ftp an ab- solute independent throne. % .f so, it must have been a grievous disappoint- ment when he had to sell to the parte his new ironclads, especially precious' sym- bols of independent power, Year after year things went on, the financial situa- ftion growing steadily worse and worse. The great Disraeli coup of purchasing the khedive's canal shares set him on legs for a time, but the end was ap- sproaching.—London Spectator. Origin of Names of Fabrics. Everything connected with one's busi- ness is of importance. Very few dry goods men know the origin of the names of many of the goods they handle. They may seem trivial points, but they are of interest to the man who seeks to bethor- ongMy familiar with the mer'chandiseirt which lie deals. For the information of 'such we give the derivation of the names of the following goads: Damask is from the city of . Damascus; satins from Zap, town, in China; calico from Calicut, A .town in India, formerly celebrated for Its cotton cloth and where calico was also printed. Muslin is named from Mosul, in Asia. Alpaca from 'an animal izi Peru, of the llama species, fromwhose Wool the fabric is woven. Buckram takes its name from. Fostat, a city of the Middle Ages, from which the modern Cairo is descended. Taffeta and tabby from a street in Bagdad. Cambric from Cambrai. Gauze has its name from Gaza; baize for Bajac; dim- ity from Damietta, and jeans from Jean. Drugget is derived frour a city in Ire- land, Drogheda. Duck comes from Torque, in Normandy. Blanket is called after Thomas Blanket, ,a famous clothier connected with.the introduction of wool- ens into England about 1840. Serge de- rives its name from-Xerga; a Spanish name for a peculiar woolen blanket. Diaper is not from D'Ypres, as it is sometimes stated,. but from the Greek diaspron, figured. Velvet is from the Italian vellute. woolly (Latin: vellus—a hide or pelt). Shawl is the Sansetit sale, floor, for shawls were first used as car- pets and tapestry. Bandanna is from the Indian word to bind or tie, because it is tied in knots before dyeing. Chintz from the Indian chott. L'elaino is the French "of wool."—Trade Journal. Frenchmen Surprised alt Suoevbailil. The first show of the season reminded an artist friend of a snow storm which he experienced at Avignon, in the south. of France, a year or two ago. No snow had been seen at Avignon for twenty years previous, and the surprised French- man knew not what to.make of it. An amusing sight it was to see them try to make snowballs and -.pelt one another. Experience had never taught them the art Which every New England boy learns - as soon as he leaves 11ia cradle, and they handled the snow as daintily as does : cat when :1110 lifts her paws olio by once in n, surprised manner, and slid!:os them... before she puts them down again, Two American artists found . great deli slat ix . ni king snowballs an.] engaging in the fray, and they soon put the; entire village of .I'rencllnlen hors du combat, "You putt stones in then!:" they tried when they felt the power of en especially hard snowball.
