The Christmas holiday 0 have sent crowde of pleasure seekers up to the hills, and the only hotel wills& Kandy pos- sesses is so full that, were we there now, our aceommodation would probably be of the sort enjoyed by the Californian miner on the overerowded steamboat; "Captain, I reckoa you want to give me a berth now. "And where on earth have you been sleep• hog these last two nights ;duce we sailed V' " Well, I guesa I've been sleeping on a sick man, but now he's got well and says he won't stand it, so I've got to quit." But, in spite of this delay, our time has not been wasted, for in the lest four days we have seen enough wonders to fill half a dozen letters, instead of one. We have wandered through the shadowy cloisters of a temple w ieh is one of the marvels of Ceylon. We have talked with a Buddhist priest, who had read "The Light a .Asia" in the original English, and spoke as famil- iarly of Edwin Arnold e.ad Max Mfiller as if he had been at school with them both. We have looked down front the summit of a hill upon a palm forest, which hid a oity of 150,000 inhabitants so completely that only three buildings were anywhere visible from one side of the landscape to the other. We have seen a living tortoise upon whose back six or seven men might easily find standing room, and which is so old that the most aged native inhabitant of the district has no tradition of a time when THIS STRANGE CREATURE was not here, Finally, we have visited and ohatted familiarly with a man who, not very long ago, was for several months together the moet promirent feature in the whole civilized world. We had already learned before going to his house that Arabi Pasha was freely visit- ed by passing travellers, altheugh his posi. tion as a State prisoner made it impossible for the official or military portion of Cin- galese society to call upon him or to recog nize him in any way. Accordingly, toward afternoon on the third day after our arrival, Iwe drove to "Cinnamon Gardens" to have a peep at the former Dictator of Egyyt. If the beauties of nature could do anything to console a man pining with homesickness and I gnawed by the haunting memory of Ms lost • power and grandeur one could hardly have found a fitter spot for the purpose. The Iwhole tract through which we passed was Ione great garden, and along either side of the dark red highway rose an unbroken wall of rich tropical foliage, displaying every gradation of tint from the tender freshness of the latice tree to the deep shadowy green of the mango. There the noble cocoa palm reared its tall graceful stem and plumed head like a stately Indian chief. There the brilliant hibiscus flower expanded itselt in the cloudless sunshine like a vast red fan. The forked leaf and huge yellow globe of the brcad-fruit arose beside the broad green flags of the plaintain, and the countless suckers of the spreading banyan, crossing and recrossing each other like the strands of a cobweb, shot down into the earth and sprang up again until each tree seemed a whole grove in itself. And all alorg either side of the road, the redstiled roofs and mas- sive white pillars and painted walls of the European bungalows (villas) peeped forth every here and there through clustering masses of gorgeous tropical creepers, blu e crimson, yellow, scarlet, white and gold. Through this para.dise we made our way at lebgth up to a broad smooth cross road, near the entrance of which our carriage halted in front of a garden gate bearing on its low solid whi e pillars the inscription, "Eliz tbeth House." The moment we stop- ped, our chaprassie, (running footman,) a shriveled old native, whose STRAGGLING GRAY WHISKERS were cxeremely suggestive of second hand cottou gametes, hopped off the back of the carriage into the road as nimbly as a spar- row, and, taking our visiting cards in his bony brown hand, went forward to deliver them to a gorgeous peon (native lackey) in O. bright red turban and snow white tunic fastenee with a scarlet sash, who came for- ward trom the house to meet us. Having exchanged a few words with our courier, the peon disappeared again into the house to announce our visit, and, while awaiting his return, we had time to examine at our leisure the ex -Dictator's new home. It was certainly a very comfortable prison for a man who had not long ago been under sentence of death for high treason, and whose die had been saved from the ven- geance of his own countrymen solely by the mercy of the "English infidels" against whom be had fought. The house, with its deep, arched porch, specious front, and wide shady verandah, seemed worthy to harbor a Governor-General, while the rich and well - kept garden, all ablaze with colored leaves and gorgeous Eastern flowers, would have tasked the genius of Varelet himself to de- pict it as it merited. And now back came the turbaned peon, inviting us to follow him to the house. As we approached the steps that led up to the verandah, we slay looking down upon us from above a tall, large.framed man in com- plete European costume, with exception of the fez that surmounted his gray head. There was no need for me to ask who he was, for his features bore a sufficiently close resemblence to the countless portraits which made all Europe familiar with that face only a few years ago to enable me to recog- nize at the first glance Arabi Pasha himself. I saluted him in French, which he speaks fluently, like most Egyptian and Turkish statesmen. But, somewhat to my surprise, be AgSWIMED ME IN ENGLISH, (probably wishing to show me how quickly he had learned it,) and in English our talk was thenceforth conducted. .As he placed a chair for Mrs. Ker, he observed politely, "1 ana very sorry to have been so late in re- ceiving you, but I had to say my prayers first." "You were quite right," answered ; "pray, sit down," and we all three seat- ed ourselves in the front of the vetanda at a point which commanded a full view of garden. During tho conversation which followed we were able to examine more closely the personal appearance Of the man Who had concentrated upon himself for a brief tiptoe the attention of the whole world. His com- pleXion (especially where the ettp had cot- ered his forehead) Was sttrprisingly fair for an Egyptian, the color of the skin being not a evint darker than that of many an English- man after a year er two in this burnieg climate. gis high statere and poweifid :Value jUiParted a certain, dty tn raranceat first sight WW1- W0A Marred on A closer inspection by the nervaleeslimpheligl of ell hie inovements. The slight sternness given to his eyes by the large, overhanging eyebrows was utterly belied by the heavy pleeidity of the lower face, breadoning te. ward the jaw, and framed in a short, thick, iron gray beard, To all outward appearance he might have been an Enelish trader, a German want, a rioh half-caste—anything, n short, except what he really was. Neither n his facie, bearing, nor voice was there any- thing to remind ua that we were standing in the preaence of a man whit had once been the hero of a war, at whose bidding had been lavished thousands of lives and millions of treasure, and whose hand had clutched at and well-nigh seized the sceptre of the Pharaohs. His appearance certainly gained nothing by hie adoption of that uncomely European dress to which BO many Orientals unite- countally sacrificed their own picturesque and graceful garb, always losing incalculably by the exchange. The Pasha's costume consisted of a loose morning coat of light gray, white vest and shirt, fawn -colored trousers, white stockings, and black leather ehoes with roeettes, Ills cuffs were fasten ed with " cat's•eye sleeve buttons, and on his right hand he wore a large gold ring set with a fine moonstone. But although no fault could be found with the clothes them- selves, they were manifestly out of keeping with the man who wore them. "I say very glad to see your garden looking so fresh and green," said I, as wo seated ourselves, " for it must be very hot here just now." "Plenty hot,"enswered Arabi, " but much rain too. This last week we have rain every day— plenty rain." "So had we in the Indian Ottean, and very tired of in we were. Row ever it keeps the trees and shrubs fresh, if it does nothing else. Those are very pretty leaves that you've got growingthere along , the front of the veranda." Yes, very nice," assented the Pasha. "Wait, I pick you some." And in a trice he had filled Mrs. Ker's hands with SPLENDIDLY MARE:ED CROTO-s,' LEAVES, one of which had twisted itself so closely and strongly into a spiral ooil that it was no easy matter to straighten it'out. "Strange leaf that," said Arabi'pointing to it with the nearest approach to a laugh of which an Egyptien is capable. "Ho look just like hair. See how he twist round." Just at that moment we caught sight of the dusky faces and sparkling eyes of two tiny girls (probably the Pasha's children by Cingalese wives) who were peeping at us from behind the screen of matting that masked tbe doorway leading from the veran- da into the house. Both seemed rather shy of us just at first, but after a little recon- noitering the elder of the two (for the younger could not be persuaded to approatth) came forward and made friends with Ub readily enough. 1 twined one of the oroton leaves around her black hair in a kind of fillet, and the little woman seemed consider- ably amused at her new decoration. "They rather frightened of stranger," observed the Pasha with a smile, "and yet they see plenty of them." "Yes; I suppose you have a good many visitors here." " Yes ; whenever ship come in, great many people come to see me. This morning plenty come; plenty lady come, too." We naturally felt bound to apologize for inflicting another visit upon him after be had already been through so many. But it was evident enough, nevertheless, that the poor Pasha was very glad to have any one come and talk to him for a little while, as almost his only relief from the benumbing monotony of an existence which, after the excitement of absolute sovereignty and the fierce FEVERISH DELIGHT OF WAR must at times be well-nigh unendurable. Though I never for one moment faltered in my conviction that the death so lavishly dealt out to the poor ignorant wretches who merely obeyed his orders should in justice have been inflicted upon himself likewise, yet now, seeing him thus in the depth of his suffering and humiliation, no Man worthy of the name could have done otherwise than pity him. Not a single allusion did Arabi make to the events which have connected his name so inseparably with the history of Egypt, and we naturally shrank from touching upon a, subject which must necessarily be a a sore one to him. On other points he was more communicative, expressing freely enough his discontent with the climate of Colombo, which had proved far too damp for his health after the proverbial dryness of Best Africa, and had already inflicted upon him a chronic rheumatism, as was abundantly evident trom his stiff and pain ful movements. He ale° told us that one of his sons—whom we afterward met in the course of an afternoon drive—was living not far from him but that the rest of his children were in Egypt. But just as the conversation was beginning to flag, and just as we were wondering how it would be poseible to introduce the for- bidden subject without giving offense, the difficulty was solved for us in a, very unex pected way. , Our friend, the peon, brought in two more visiting cards, which were promptly followed by an Australian doctor and his wife of the regular tourist type— loud, hearty, red-faced, talkative—who had just landed from a passing steamer for a hours ashore before going on. VO OUR MINGLED HORROR, and diversion the newcomers plunged at once into the Egyptian war and all its asset. ciation' s speaking quite freely (evidently withoutthe slightest idea of any possible offence,) about their recent visits to Alex andria, the battle field"of Tel-el-Kebir, and "alt the rest of the places that you were connected with, Mr. Pasha." Meanwhile Arabi sat listening with an air of patient displeasure that would have sufficed to check any man less completely satisfied with himself. At length the Australian actually wound up by asking this dethroned and im- prisoned man, in the cheeriest tone imagin- able, how he enjoyed himself in Ceylon. " Sir," answered the fallen ruler, with a voice and look that had a certain dignity as • well as pathos of their own, "all my childrea in Egypt—all my relations in teyrd—I here alone. How shall I enjoy myself here ?" This rebuke silenced even the sok-satisfied doctor for a moment, but he was seen rattling on again as briskly and complacently as ever. Meanwhile Arabi Pasha relapeed into his former abstraetion and scented scarcely to hear the chatter o his guest till the latter happened to men- tion that he had lately visited the Egyptian town of Zagazig, which le now an important juuotion on the Cairo and Ismailia Railway, "Aha I" said Arabi, with an air of more intereet then he had yet shown, "you been to Zegazig ? That my home—that place I come -from." " remember it well," said I, "but I don't like it so well as Cairo, after all, There's nothing in all Egypt to tnatch Cairo,• and certainly there's nothing to match its citadel, the old fortress a Mehe- Mee AIL" Arabi's heavy eyes lighted up for a mo- ment at this mention of the great city where lie had once been for a few short months MORE THAN A RING. Bit ba face clouded ever again as the dootor with almost ineredible want of taot, welly asked him whether he would,110 like to go back to Egypt, and then (happily, without waiting for an answer) sentoi to say, "You elmuld come out and have &leak a Auetralia, Pasha. It is is country worth looking at, I oat tell you; and you don't aeo a town like Melbourne every day." "1 should like i well," said the captive, looking gloomier than over, 'bub—" and here he stopped as if the words choked hitn, "1 cannot go." " Pooli,poolt I" oried the unabashed doctor, in just as joliy a tone as Were, " you can't go now, but you'll be al3le to go some day or other, never fear. Nobody knows what may turn up, you know." Well, docter," said I, seeing it was high time to cut short this extraordinary conversation, "when the Pasha doe e come to Melbonrne I'm sure you'll give him a real Australian welcome. But in the meantime (and I arose from my chair as I spoke) I think we had better leave bit to rest a little, for he has received a great many visitors to -day." The gushing doctor took the hint more readily than I expected, and we all rose to take our leave. But our departure was de. 1f4Yed by THE SVDDEN APpEARANCE of a native servant bearing a small silver trey,oe which stood four tall tumblers filled to the brim with lemon sherbet sweetened with litgyptain sugar. The ladies contented themselves with sipping the mixture, which aid not seem much to their taste, but the doctor and I drained our tumblers to the last drop, greatly to the satisfaction . Arabi himself, who appeared pleased wheal reminded him that the sugar of Egypt has the name of beiug the sweetest in the world. Then we took our leave of the Pasha and departed in opposite directions, the doctor and his wife returning to their steamer, while we set off to pay our respecteto Fehmi Pasha (Arabi's right hand man during the war) and his charming daughters. But the history of that disastrous expedition and of all the extraordinary adventures to whioh it gave rise must be reserved for another let- ter, FLASHES FROM THE TELEGRAPH.

A very large and influential deputation from Quebec interviewed Sir John Macdon- ald recently for the purpose of obtaining Government aid for the construction of a bridge over the St. Lawrence from Quebec to Point Levi. Extensive improvements are being carried out by the Government at Kingston peni- tentiary.

Nearly all the argrioultural lands in the country, that are at present available, have been taken up. There is no doubt that be- fore many years large areas of swamp. and other unprorluctive lands will be redeemed by processes that manyyears ago turned similar lands in Europe into fertile fields. A lete geological survey estimates that there are 50,000 square miles of swamp lands east of the Mississippi that can ea,sily be drained. We are only beginning to reclaim our large area of comparatively arid lands by irrigation, and our future enterprises of this sort will dwarf all our past undertak- ings, Prof. Powell believes that an enor- mous region fix the Northwest now lying untouched mayprofitably be fitted for the farmer by utilizing a portion of the Missouri and its tributaries. A number of notable projects for red iim- ing waste areas are now in progress in various puts of the world. In her sturdy fight againat the ocean, Reiland has added a million acres of tillable land to her terri- tory ; and she now proposes the greatest feat her engineers have ever undertaken, the draining of the Zuyder Zee, and this, if accomplished, will add a new province to the kingdom. The scheme involves the long and costly operation of separating the bay from the ocean by great dykes, and then pumping out the water, a work which, in spite of its colossal proportions, is said to be feasible both in its engineering and its finan- cial aspects. The Australians dream of a. day when is large part of the great barren districts of their continent will be reclaimed by irriga. tion. Inner Australia is a desert only for lack of water, and it is asserted that the re- clamation of large parts of these waste lands by irrigation is feasible. The Governments of Victoria and South Australia are making experiments in this direction, and they have recently let a contract to a Comedian firm to irrigate 500,000 acres by water drawn from the Murray River. It will be interest. hag to watch the efforts that will be made to reduce the inhospitable areas in that great southern continent. Perhaps the most remarkable of recent attempts to reclaim valueless lauds are the oases which the French are developing on the Northern borders of the Sahara. Tap- ping an underground river which is found to flow will is deep, swift current from north to south, they have, by means of many borings, transformed a strip of the burning desert aixty miles long into a scene of lovely verdute.

A Man That Is Worth Wedding Is Worth Keeping. Verona .Tarbeau, the actress, in a lively interview with a Chicago Inter -Ocean re- porter, gave her views on the husband ques- tion, and her advice may prove valuable to aome wives. "I tell you, winning a husband ie only a. pleasure to a woman, but keeping birn is a peuance. That is not nicely put, but what I mean is that more than two- thirde of the women who marry let their husbands slip through their fingers because they are too lazy, too indifferent, or too ignorant te keep them, A girl wins a hus- band unconsciously, Ask any of your friends how they captured their other half, and they will tell you frankly 'I don't know.' A ,man's hart is ensnared bya pretty hand, nice teeth, a round, low voice, frank eyes, beautiful hair; by the way a girl walks, talks, plays, rides, puns ; by her gifts, her smile, her amiability, good taste, generosity or the very manner in which she greets, fascinates or abuses him. She may not know bow she won him, but if she doesn't know how to keep him the best thing for her to do is to find out. There are many things we know by intuition ; the rest have to be learned by experiment. Conscious of her abilities and inabilities as a wife is wise wo- man will learn how to keep a husband just as she leerns how to keep house, to make chicke,a croquettes, chocolate creams, bread, beds or 'lemonade, and if she doesn't, why some siren, with the sunshine in her tresees and the perfume of wild olives in her clothes and about her gloves and handker- chief, will secure her a permanent vacation. MEN ARE NOT FOOLS. They may be boys, but they wilt be treated fairly, and if there is any place where the jams and jellies, custards and 000kies are liable to be hidden be acre they will find it. "A man loves to see his wife web dressed. When she goes about in tatters, with big shoes, untidy skirts, soiled collar and a halo of curl papers, if he doesn't weer he thinks it. I don't believe in the economy of home toilettes. I never take a dress that is done for and wear it in the house. When the life is gone out of it, it goes into the rag bag. I make a duty of nice linen with plenty of laces, and my house gowns are not old, they are not wrappers and they are not ugly. Another bobby of mine is my hair, which 1. will nave as near the poet's con ception of 'her fragrant tresses' as possible. Then I have a whole lot of little devices—I perfume my eyebrows and lips, keep my hands soft and cool, my teeth in good order and I make my doctor prescribe for a sweet breath. But don't put that in the paper. I only tell you to give you an idea of the care required to keep a man in love with you. MEN LIRE TO PREACH DOWN EXTRAVA- GANCE, and style and. dress, but the woman who bangs her hair, powders the shine off her face, hides a blotch or scar under a piece of court plaster, who wants pretty gloves and stockings, trim slippers, perfumes, balms, cold creams, finger -curb and fancy notions to increase her charms is the woman who is admired every time. Those long, lean, lank, common-sense women may gad about with their wholesome ugliness and cheap simplicity, but the procession of men who follow is not a long one. li a man is fond of flattery let him have it. Not by the volume, but in crisp little verses. Hunt up poetry for his eyes; get things to rhyme with hia fat, white bands; pick out all the big gods and little heroes of Troy and Rome, whose legs are not half as good and whose backs were cambric by com- parison. Laud his shapely head to the skies and he will keep his hair cut; praise his shapely hands and you solve the problem of unkept naib. Hunt the dictionary for words and synonyms to give variety to your en- thusiasm. , IF HE HAS AMBITIONS or schemes, listen to him with open eyes of wonderment, and no matter what the oc- casion is, never permit your knowledge to exceed his. Men despise smart women, but have no fault to find when her talent is large enough to appreciate their greatness. An- other piece of wisdom on the part of e wife is the cultivation of helplessness—she must be able to lift nothing heavier than a box of candy • know nothing about the manage- ment of an umbrella, a wmdow, a knot or a bundle'and just in proportion as she ap- peals to his strength,. size and greatness, just so large will her Influence over him be. Men like to be looked up at, depended on, quoted, and referred to. That's the reason why a little woman marries three times to the one wedding of the tall heroic lady. "Aa ugly temper is a trial that few women are able to stand. The only oure is silence. You musn't talk back. No, senti- ment is just as injurious; you can't kiss a furious man, it only makes liim worse. The thing to do is to keep still, let him cool and let the matter drop. He will respect your sense and come to terms of his own accord. TO REEF A HUSBAND an sager hunter, live in a little mystery. Don't make a sacrifice of yourself: have ideas of your own, and secrets, too, if you like. It is well not to be too tame, Men do not care much for hunting barnyard fowls and domeatic animals. They never waste their powder on a meaner bit of game that a fox, remodel jests a trifle inferiorto the neat, trim, capricious little quail. To make the chase interesting be a little uncer- tain and allow yourself to be caught ocsee 8i°'llTo ailY• ' be born a woman is to born a mar- tyr, but the husband that is worth wedding is worth keeping, and if a little artifice, a pleasant smile, a contented heart, forbear. ance, neatnese, devotion and tact will hold him, by all means let him be iheld. Men must be taken as they are and not as they should be; they are not a half -bad lot under the refining influence of mutual iutereet and love, and he is a very wretched specimen of humanity who oast not be counted on to:shield a wife from the buffets of the world, and be an anchor for her when youth and beauty have proved unfaithful. Poor fellow, he is weak but. he can't help it. He was made so. He would rather be good than had, a king than a serf and I think it is a woman's duty to do what she cart for him. Sick and tired of the bang and clatter of the world's machinery, a man is ready and willing to go anywhere away from the tumult, and with any one who will help him to forget hi cares, cliseppointe ments and his very existence, This thing of trying te rule a husband is all buncombe —it can't be done, You'ean coax most men, bribe some and govern a very few; but that vulgar rebbing of the fur the rightway wins every time," Smuggled Opu1I front Victoria.

Nobody but us literary people knows how closely grovve the attachment between the author and his characters. It is related of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe that when from the pages of her manuscript she read the death of little Eva, /he entire family sat bathed in tears, nor could one of them speak a word, but all mournfully separated, going to their rooms as though they had just at- tended the funeral of is dear friend. Some friends met Thackeray on the street one day, and his countenance bore traces of in- tense grief. "What is the master?' they asked. "I have just killed Colonel New - he sobbed, bursting into tears, as he hurried away. Charles Dickens had the same experience. So had I. Mine was even more herrowing. When I wrote my first funny story about Mr. Bilderback going up on the roof to shovel off the snow, and mak- ing an avalanche of himself and sliding down into a water barrel, I was almost heart- broken. I didn't kill Mr. Bilderbaek my- self. Ah, indeed, I hadn't the heart to do that. The managing editor—that dear, con- siderate soul—saw how I felt about it, and he killed him for me, He also killed all the other dear, loving, gentle characters in the sketch. And as I was leaving he remarked that he would kill me if I ever came back with any more such stuff. He meant it, too. People who baW me coming out of the office scraping dust, and lint, and pine slivers, and gouts of paste off my back, seat at once, by my grief stricken face, that something had happened. But I could not tell them what. My poor, bursting heart was toc, 1.—Bur- dette. Two for One Dollar. The other day as Dr. Blank was particu- larly busy he was co,lied out to see two gen- tlemen of Irish extraction---" extraction" is gond in this connection—who had business that would brook no delay. Said the one of the two who served ha spokesman: " How much fer to pull a tooth." "One dollar," said the dentist, "Wan daffier I Be the powers ye have yer Money an' yer fun, too. Well,Patsey,;' turning to the other, who was evidently the sufferer, "what will ye do?' The two men held a whispered conversa- tion for it moment. It was evident that they regarded the fee as pretty steep. • " Begorra, I have it I" said the spokesman all at once. " Wnd ..ye pull two for the daller, (loather?" The dentist smiled, Yes," he said, " I pen I could pull two for the same price." "Alt right, Patsey, that's what ye do; have inn) av yer teeth pulled for the claller, and there ti another out again the next teeth - ache."
