When forty two Arab immigiants were about to land at this port recently it wr.s intended to ship tlipui back to Bordeaux, whence they came as they were likely to become paupers. At this juncture John Ab-El-IIour, the noted Arab peddler, and II. W. O. Edye. of Punch, Eyde, & Co., came fo rward with a "2."i,000 security bond that they would not become paupers. They were then released and went to different board ing hous s. Here one Shara Sal'f, a lieu tenant of Ab-El-IIour. went to each of them and succeeded in gettihg $S each from thirty-eight of them, on the ground that they woud itave had to go back had it not been fcr Ab-El-IIour. Four of them would not put it up, but reported the matter to Castle Garden, whose of lieera are now hunting for Mr. Saff. An Important Mining Doal ija Cki:cjv, X. M., Jan. 10.

There were tons and tons of voucher and other important records piled up in the hallways, -j hey had lain there' until mold had gathered upon Q them an inch thick.

Word comes from Florence? of tiio death of Signora Marianna Bjirbieri-Xini, who was famous thirty or forty ye;-i ? ago as an operatic singer, anil was as re markable for exceptional ugliness as for iier' artist ici tnicnt and pIo:id;.i voice. In tho height of her fame she married Corjii Nini and retired from the stage. After his death she married a well known Vienna musician named llackunssoihier, who sudelenly disappeared, leaving lu r in extremely straitened circumstances," anil fJie was forgotten except by a few faithful friends. She us".l herself to re late with a tvrtaiii piquant gusto that oneo when playing "Norma." in the famous duet where tho two rhildten M't piwenteel to the heroine by Adalgisa, v.i she bent to embrace- them, tlio liit!e girl who persemated o;;eef the chilelren wiis so terrified by b.er uglines:i that she sprang from the stage into tlf wings, o.v claiming, '-Meahei. liieither, liio vitch i there!" to the intense amusement of the audience. The combined weaiih of this remark able family (the A.-.tors) probably stands without parallel i:i the world. It haa lx;en the eteady er.eleavor of tiie living members of the family to underestimate their possessions in order that they might not arouse the too bitter jealousy of that class of the population which looks mimic-ally at hoarded wealth. Fortius reasoif John Jacob Astor lias never given any authority for statements of his wealth that put the figures lieyond slOO.

He is n vandal, a destroyer of books, a daie.;erou: man to the libra ries. He leaves his finger marks on some of the most valuable works at the r cantile anel Public School libraries; hois a terror to private libraries; he is at every sale, and after buying a book he wants guts it of its contents to tear out perhaps one paye that he wants. He is insatiable and peculiar, to say tho least, in his meth ctls, It is easy to see why extending a book is fascinating, for it is simple am1, illimitable. Jt is a grow his craze, ami there are numbers of grange-rites in Si. Louis.
