was originally a fellah; but had been
with the, Khedive eef since he was
a Pritice. " He".' was a great favorite
with the people, who loved him better
than they jdidp the Khedive at that
time. The lhedive thought over
vhat his advisers had.sid, and, with
him, to think is to act.,' He invited
Mofetish t drive out wijh him. They
rode to theoutskirts of the town, when
tlie KhediVe stepped out of the carri
age, which jwas immediately surround
ed by a guard; and Mofetish has nev
er been heard of from that day to this.

Friendly Counsel
1. Resist the temptation of circula
ting ill reports; spread them not at
all.
2. If you cannot speak well of an
other, at least do not speak ill of him.
3. Never speak ill of another be
hind his back. Why should you
consider his character of less value
than :ym.ir own.
4. Speak of others as you would
were they present ; speak as a frieud
of him who is absent, and cannot
speak for himself.
5. Consider yourself the guardian
of the character of those who mav I e
m
absent as you would wish others
gutvd your character in your absence
6. Whenever it may be needed to
mention anything to the disadvantage
of another, let it be done with truth
fullness, tenderness, humility, and
with the recollection of how much
has been given thee.
' John Randolph of Roanoke.
John Randolph, who by nature was
very aristocratic, resolved at one time
to inix more freely with the common
people. Exchanging clothes with a
field hand he 6allied forth, carrying
only a small valise.
A big fellow came puffing into the
bar room of the tavern where he stop-!
ped the first night and ordered a mint
julip, as he waSj"nearly dead with the
heat." Directly; afterward another
came in on the sanie errand declaring
himself to be "nearly ij-ozen t6 death."
Randolph stepped opto the bar withTn
order for the same beverage and the
explanation, "I like it." . j: -J j
The room afer awhile' became so
full of smoke froni the tipes ofyrVjsit
ors that it waS'taU&nlt to breathe.
Randolph lighted an immense nU)i'
tobacco. To the remonstrances of th(
of hers;..he repl ied ; 'in not smok ing
for" ( pleasure, but in self-defence.
None had a better sense of the rtdic4
ulous than had John! Randolph.

iS'egro Music.
A correspondent of the New Or
leans Item, who was privileged to
hear a black priestess chant a You-
dou incantation, says: "As arranged
according to musical .writers, the song
appeared to have been composed iu
short lines like Runic verses; but a
musical friend, who accompanied me,
confessed himself una bled to produce
the music to which they were sung, a
great part of it being characterized by
variation of quarters and sixths, of
notes, requiring a most delicate training
of the ear to memorize and note down.
It seemed that most oflhose who have
written upon the subject of negro mu-1
sic have iriveii little or no attention to
o . l
this peculiar feature of it. There are
little tones in the commonest rousta-!
bout song which are not to be found
in civilized music, and which few
white throats could produce; and yet'
it is to these fractions of tones that the
true negro melodies owe their peculiar'
wild and melancholy sweetness."..
