Bat when next my feet went straying, lien were busy with the haying; I saw the sharp scythe swiftly pa*s Throogh nodding flower* and blowing grass, Till b owing Rra-s and flowers were lying Underneath the hot sun?dying. But 'twas not long ere sweet content PilJ?d the meadow with wondrous scent; And flowers and (<rass, as bleaching hay, Had learnc I the meaning of the May, And why they were so proudly blowing un me nigm oeiort- iuu uiu?ui?. Maiden, unto woman growing, Maiden, with the loose hair flowing, With eyes bine as the skies above, Face as fair as the rose of love, Crowned with yor.th and joy and beauty, Thoa shalt learn diviner duty. Oft when liTe has fairest showing It is ready for the mowing; Then should trouble, pain or strife Lay the blade to thy youug life, Do not fear; on some sweet morrow Thou shalt learn the why of sorrow. ?Mary A. Bttrr, jti Harper's Weekly. THE MISSING JEWELS. Anne Bsrdulph was not very youthfn), nor wasi-he particularly handsome; and she was honeekeeper for the ailing Mrs. Derm an. This invalid lady resided in a fine I wooden house of many rooms through which ran a wide hall with walls Pompeiian red, and a gilt-edged ceiling that was painted in some curious and uncertain tint of paly, pinkish brown. The floor was tessellated in brown and red, and tb a.k carved doors opened upon a eolumnar portico with broad, brown steps leading down upon a great lawn flanked with thick trees of beech and pine. Across the greening lawn in the sweet yellow April sunshine walked Anne Bardulph?a slim, straight woman with recular and severe feature", and wonder fully large eyes of darkest gray. She had ?n abundance of neatly arranged dark bair, and efae was neatly attired in a serviceable suit of some clinging, dull blue fabric, with collar and cuffs of linen?white, prim and immaculate. Two yonng men coming upon the portico saw her?aj interesting and not unlovely figure moving under the grim, whispering pines. " The new housekeeper of madame pleases you?her you admire perhaps," one remarked rather quizzingly. "Would you suggest that Mies Bardulph may not "merit admiration?'' returned the other evasively and with eome perceptible irritation. "I now do nothing suggest," was the protesting sharp foreign accents. "I here am come to see much, to much ifiinV Vint T rnthirc fiav until the? how pay you it??till the one exposure grand." Tony Dorman smoked thonghtfnlly for several silent minutes- Finally he tossed away bis cigar and tnrned toward bis companion. * "D'lUzelly," he began, pleasantly ; "you are here ostensibly only as my gce^t and intimate friend?" " On the what do you call the ostensible, I impose not," intermpted Louis D'Bazelly, quickly and proudly. " I but the deteotive am?the servitor hired of msdame to her diamonds of alna find and the thief to discover." "Yen, I *now," interposed the young gtntKmun ; "but I have become aware of your worth as a man, t>nd I really regard joa as a friend. No friend will ever be more warmly welcomed to got bouse tban yon. if 1 did not feel like this I should not be likely to confess to you that I have been refused by Miss Bardulph ?for whom?" he supplemented gently and with hesitation? " I fancy you to have a tender preference, even though you would appear to dipparage her." The yonng Frenchman winced, and in his bright blsck ey*B was an expression of tronble and distrnst, as he gazed steadily toward th") stately pines that loomed in sharp spires against the eweet bine April sky. " It is so," he acknowledged presently, a hot oolor reddening his swarthy iaoe. "For her I have the one liking that is very tender; bnt also have I the donbt that is mnch and not good. What of this do yon think ?" DlUielly?who had become a detecKn/?onaA ha ViQ^ on and in born fondness for what be considered an exciting and most delectable vocation?opened what one wonld presame to be, from its exterior appearance, a quaintly-bound book, and nothing more. )t was, however, a "detective camera,' by which he had shortly before obtained, and without her knowledge, several striking photographs of the woman of whom he had been speaking so dubiously. . "What of this, do you think?" he iterated, exhibiting a pictuie of Miss Bardulpb, as Bhe was standing in a carious attitude of eager and fearful interest beneath one of the great beach trees , beyond the lawn. At her feet^beside a pile of moss and stoneB, opened a small cavity, over which she was bending, while holding low in a loosening , grasp what was quite surely a number ( of jeweled ornaments. < " I do not know what to think," enun ciated Mr. Dorman, in tones of dismay. , "It would seem that my mother's jewels have been secreted in that place; and I should say that Anne has accidentally discovered the depository.'' " If that is so, why to you or to the mal me honored she comes not?all so glad, so animate?and tell the one disoovery ? happy and so not to be understood V D'Razellv demanded with emnVuuris 4 But?good heavens, Louie! do you mean that you suspect Miss Bardulph of any wrongdoin? ?" was the pained exclamation. "I mnst absolutely refuse to believe that Anne?that ingenuous and eerions girl, with her pure eyes and innocent brow?is a thief ? A1 though there m*y be something indefinable and mysterious about her, I conld never associate with the mystery of crime anything she might do/' She was bnt his mother's house- i keeper; she had refused his love, and the name and station he would have given her ; yet was he a right loyal menu, ana woma not listen unmoved or aoqu esoent to any aocusations made gainst ber. .While D'Razelly, who professed for her a tender liking, although he doubted her much, shrugged his 6prace shoulders, sighed, and looked v&stly consequential and melancholy, albeit, he was not a sentimentalist, and had determined to be austerely practical, as befits a proftHsional of bis kind. ' 1 nothing know of the mystery,lot evil, that you do mean,'' he sa d, impa tiently. " And to me it d?:es seem that the diamonds of much value must now to the madame so disconsolate be restored, and the ways that so pazzling are, must to the custody go." But6he never entered this house until da^3 after the diamonds were missed," remonstrated Tony Dormin, shuddering; " I am decidedly mystified What iB jour explanation of it all?" " She the aocomp) e of one o her s I do think,'' annoa e<l the detective with gjsndiloquence of manner. "She no longer here will 6tay. She will an illness feign, as it may be, and then to the other she will go away, the diamonds with her taking, if her we not could prevent." " That's all very plausible, returned her defeuder, unconvinoed. "But we Will at once secure my mother's precious ornaments, and then I really mu:st have positive at;d ii refutable evidence against Miss Bardulph before I shall allow yon todenonnee her." The early dusk had already suflused j the lawn with a purple haze. The cool ! air was delicious with the fresh odors of { violets and hyacinths and sweet young grasses. The new, rosy moon and a j great golden star glittered in the blue j western sky; andoutamrngthe gloomy, complaining pines the night birds were tunefully calling. The two young men crossed the lawn and entered the dim grove, full of resinous scents, strange, dreamy noises, and uneasy and fantastic shadows. Mutely and with sonndless steps they followed the grassy, winding walk that led to the umbra2eous beach cf j D'Ra2elIy's singular photograph. tJuddeolyb >th started, and slmulU- j neously retreated eround a curve of the < path, where tney Mood as silent and mo- j tionlcss as the shade in which they were hidden. Beyond, in the pearly effulgence of starlight and moonlight, the? saw the suspected young woman bend ehe removed the mess and pebbles until ^ her intent watoherB beheld the cold, inextinguishable fire of the precious gems gleaming within the dark, black mold. " What think yon now ?" whispered D'Razelly, excitedly. "The diamonds she will take. See! is it not so?" And beiore the other conld silence or restrain him, he leaped forward and confronted Anne, who stood quite still, and only lifted her comely head fearlessly. f-miling with calm detiance and some nnassumed 'amusement. " QUM1 I rilt: uiuiujiutu, It, as he began to t-peak. "In another moment the mvstery of what yon have presumed to be a robbery will be elucidated, ami precibtly as I believed it wou'd be. Look!' Down the path, with an unsteady and unnatural gait, came a surprising appara tion?the figure of u lady. Bare were her feet, and her gray, drooping bend was uncovered, and her tbin white robes glistened with the damp night dews. " Mother P gasped Tony Dorman, amazed, and glad for tho accused Anne, who was so curiously exonerated. Straight on came the somnambulist faneing at xenatn ueioro xue treasures she had secreted in herabnormal sleep, and gazing with unseeiugeyes upon the priceless, fparbliDg things that 6be touched lovingly with her withered hands, and carefully again covered with the thick, Bilky moss. Then she smiled faintly, sighed with satisfaction, turned, and slowly moved away. The countenance of Louis D'Razellv at that moment was not that of an individual conscious of superior discernment, and the glance I19 ventured to vouchsafe Anne was deprecatory. "What I should say I know not," he stammered. "What I did think?what I did do?so very stupid was. Ah, if the kind mademoiselle could me but pardon," he continued, with gallant entreaty. Very demurely she assured him that his suspicions were quite pardonable, and perhaps creditabJe to his zeal as a detector and denouncer of the unrighteous; Some time later, coming tnrougn me handsome, brilliantly lighted hull, Anno mot the young master of the house. ' The tempting reward offered for the recovery of Mr*. Dorman's diamonds i induced me to ccme here as her house- I keeper," she explained. " I had an in ! explicable feeling that I mijht find the misting jewels. I consulted no one no one advised me. I was really ashamed of my project, that I knew was quixotic, if not impracticable, and a failure would have made me ridicul-us. Shortly after coming to Mrs. Dormun, I learned that the had latterly been haunted by an excessive and increasing fear of being robbed; I learned, too, that she had only recently manifested somnambulistic symptoms. The truth came to me as an inspiration, bat only by merest aocident; and only this morning, while I was exploring for. gentiun, did I espy the tiny, suggestive mound of loose, dying moss through which I saw a single spark of sompthiner shining uto a olnwworm. So I waited and | "v ? O watched, hoping Bhe would visit her buried treasure just as she did. The discovery was very simple and is now clear to you all." "And now you have won the reward, you will leave us, I euppose," he observed, soberly. " Yes," she gravely assented. "Oh, Anne, if I cjuld only persuade you to stay?'' he responded, quickly and imploringly. " Do you fear I cannot make you a happy wile ?' "It is not that," she said, with the frank, serious maoner tint had olwava so pleased him. " It is that I could not maltA vnn a haDDV busbar,d. Do be reasonable, Mr. Dormun, for you must be well aware that 1 am cot at all tbe sort of pprson whom yon ought to marry. And beside,'1 she aided, with a quaint little laugh, "I have a pro fession now, and I must not wed one who kno s nothing of the instincrsand requirements of my calling." The handsome young fellow was somewhat agitated by her speech which he considered daring and significant. "Surely, my dear Anne," he faltered; "you would not wish to become a professional detective nor would you intimate that you have an affection for Louis D'Razelly who so unjastly accused you, and who would willingly * A _ -5_ nave placed you m cubioay r "My friend," she replied, sweetly, a tear sparkling in each large eye, and a lovely new color on each eoft cheek?

"Yours is the logic of love, Anne," the young man answered, dryly. "And who may understand the heart of a woman. You will be Louis' wife one of those days." His prediction was verified. And so it happened that a very happy and sat isfaotory marriage was effected by the incident of Mrs. Dorman's missing jewels ______________ Improvements in Clocks. The latest improvements in horology 1 have been mainly in the adaptation of electricity to the working of mechanism. | Until quite recently difficulties of va j rious kinds have baffled the inventors, but it seems now that there is a prospect of eleotrical clocks, clocks wonnd by mlfvfcrifiit.v onmincr into eeneral use. The French some time ago introduced j the invisible stem winder, which obvi- j ated the necessity of the use of any j key, upon much the same principle a3 ! the stem winding watches, which are j now univereally liked, and by an inge- j nious use of electricity a clock is now j made to repeat in the same manner as a repeater watoh by simple pressure upon j a ball attached to the works by an electrio band. Quite recently an inventor | ba9 perfected three methods of setting j the machinery of a clock in motion by i means of electricity, which are known J respectively as the papillomone, aste- j roriome and commntator escapement i methods, in each of which electricity is 11 the motive power, which, acting upon 1 the pendulum, impels the machinery to keep in motion as loDg as the electric current is supplied. The little batteries which famish the electricity i and whish send t tie cnrrent tnrougn the coils of the electro-maguet are con cealed in a drawer fitting in the base of the clock, and are stated to contain sufficient carbon to last for two years, during which time tho clock will require no attention and will not stop, if the inventor is correct in his statements, he has more nearly discovered the secret of perpetual motion ihan anybody else, for if a clock can go two years without stopping, who, in these days of gigantic enter rise, will stop short of making one that will never stop? Wo are at least justified in expecting that will ba the next thing, and while invention is busy, what a com'or it would be if we should di*cover that "noiseless" clocks and automatic watches wtie as possible as noiseless sewing-machines? Among other novelties in the line of clocks we hear of the calendar clock, which kteps tbe correct date always in view, regn larly producing a new one a* it passes the old card out of view, and in connection with it a new case for a clock, which in obedience to the popular call for a metamorphoses, ceases to be a case and becomes a stand lor the clock at the earliest possible notice. Poisoning by Ivy or Sumac. The effects resulting from coming in contact with poison ivy or sumac are quite common among people living on farms or in the country, and are too well known to need any special description. Suffice it to say, however, that many people are quite susceptible to the poisonous actions of theso plants and become affected very easily, and in a manner almost unknown to them, while others can handle it without its producing any lesion. The action of tae poison first becomes manifest or is characterized by an eruption upon the skin, swelling and an intense itching of the part, and in very severe cases pain with redness and congestion. Treatment must be moist and astringent applications, as sulphate of zinc or sugar of lead twenty grains j and one pint ot water mixed and ap- I plied occasionally with a soft cloth; V diluted alcohol, spirits of camphor and aqua ammonia largely diluted with water. Each has been tried with good | Bucces?, but in my hands where all the ! above have failed, a decoction made by ! boiling the leaves or buds of the Span- I ish needle or nestle (a weed | whioh is indigenous to all Northern States) with water and applying it occasionally ba3 proved very successful, and a decoctiou of witch hazel made and applied in the same manner is highly recommended by many.? ENGLAND'S WAR IN EGYPT. lis Cause Explained? Arnbl Pasha and Ul Followers. Probably eighty Americans not of a hundred, says the New York Mail and Express, know as little of the origin and the causes leading to the present crisis in Egypt as about the history of Timbuctoo. They have at the beat a vapue idea that the Europeans settled in E/ypt on the one side, and Arabi Pasha and his followers on the other i commenced the trouble a few months j ago, and that the present hostilities are j a result of the massacre of the former on Jure ll. In reality the origin ol | the outbreak is far more remote. Like many othei- countries, Egypt has suffered of late years from the dissensions of its different political parties, and it is these parties which are now bringing it to J the verge of ruin. They are more or less the outcome of I the terrible maladministration of the ! country*8 affairs during the reign of I Ismail Pasha, the deposed khedive and | fathtr of Tewfik. Ismail was known in ! all the bourses of Europe as a " merchant prince,".and combined with the unscrupulous speculator the tendenoiee of the most illiberal exclusionist. He was at the same time producer and on anm-mmm docrrPA. fiXDOrtef taxuici vu itu vuvt uiwmu ?.w0.?V| ? and controller by all means of transport by land and water. " He oompelled bis subjects?the small proprietors?to sell their land to him, lully one-fourth of the arable soil of his dominions, chiefly sugar plantations; and his command over all means of transportation was the most potent instrument in his scheme of exclusion," says the Philadelphia Press. "If an outsider attempted to compete with the enormous prices he established, the whole railroad syutem, being his lackt-yp, would combine to delay material, and the unfortunate shippers were thus put to absolute loss, so that in time no one dared to enter the market with so powerful a rival. The laws which exai't enormous toncace duties from all the ships entering Egyptian rivers and harbors his fleet of private transports escape, and up to the late attempt at an outside diotation the | wlmlfi nan-vine tTadeof the country was | in his own bands and those of his favorites." Jsmail was first aroused about ten years ai;o by the remonstrances of Eugland and France to the imperative result of his leckleas administration of affaire. It was under the knowledge of this intending national bankruptcy that be signed a convention in November, 1876, giving hngland and France the virtual control over Egyptian finances nntil such time as the creditors should havo been, if not reimbursed, at least assured of the safety of their investments. Under the compulsion of foieignershe for the moment broke off his system of squandering, closed his seraglio, turned out doors his cronies in speculation, and for the moment discontinued his vast and ill-considered plan of creating in Egypt an army, navy and national establishment, wh'ch nations . iv .

OoscbeD. one of the first English financiers, was received by him, though somewhat sullenly, as the representative of the English creditors, and Joubert, a Frenchman of high reputation in com mand of affairs, was delegated on the part of France. The subsequent examination justified the worst apprehensions of foreign creditors, and even alarmed the khedive himself. Rivers Wilson, an Englishman, was appointed controller of the general receipts of the country, and Blignieres was appointed controller of general expenditure, and with these were assoouted four European commissioners of public debts. Protocols were drawn up by the English and French governments, protecting their conrrollers, but of course with a ruler adverse to them they found *.

Suoh were the evils th.t finally led to the deposition of the Khedive Ismail in favor of his son Tewtik, and to the formation of two of the three political parties now striving for supremacy. The first party is represented by tbe kbedive. Ever since his accession to the throne he has been a puppet alternately in the hands of England and France, but more so of the former. The two powers have exercised a virtual control of his finances, and in return have practically pledged themselves to keep him in his seat, much to tbe indignation of the Egyptian people, with whom the khedive is anything but popular. The second party to be considered may be callod the Turkish party. It is ; centered mainly in the class of civil and religious functionaries, for the ministers of the Moslem law and i religion cannot overlook the fact that Abdul Hamid, the sultan of Turkey, is genernlly recognized as Commander of the Faithful; while ever since the time of Mehemet Ali the pests of influence and profit in the Egyptian administration have been held by Turks. Numerically the part y is weak, but morally and fiuancially it is strong. Its object is to strengthen the bands which unite Egypt to Turkey, if not to make the fo:mer nmintrv eutirelv dependent, politically, on the latter. Thethird party in Egypt headed by Arabi Pasha, is nndonbtedly the strongest, because, being an essentially national one in its platform, it Is backed by the great mass of the native population. Arabi has been prictirally master in Cairo since February of last year. Immediately npon entering office ho made a bid for popularity by opposing the French and English "controllers-general and withdrawing the finances from them. Then , he commenctd removing foreign officeholders on a large scale, including , Mahometan Tnrks and Circassians, and replacing tbem with native Egyptians. The khedive, spurred on by the English and Frcnch, protested against these acts, but, confident in hisstrength, Arabi continued his work of decapitation in all serenity. Thus matters stood about ten weeks ago, when the Khedive commuted me sentence of death pronounced on some Circassian officers who had conspired aga;nst Arabi. The Egyptian party were greatly incensed, and the ministry, who were all nationalists, immediately convoked the chamber of notables and avowed their intention of deposing the houpe of Mehemet Ali. A surprise was, however, reserved for them. The notables, though commonly supposed to be the tools of the ministry, actually refused to be convoked, arid Ar??bi Pasha was consequently obliged to declare that he would try to attain his ends with tbe help of the army At. this point, when everything looked rtar for the khedive, the English and French fleets entered the bay of Alexandria. Seized with a scare, Arabi and bis followers prostrated themselves in unfeigned dismay and implored their master's clemency. Instead of inflicting adequate punishment! upon tbem the khedive contented himself witlt expreying his anger for what had occurred, and actually allowed Arabi to 1 retain his post. To this weakness or hia part all the subsequent troubles may be attributed. Little by little the kheJive found him^eif deserted by all Ihe notables and ulemas who had hith erto stood "by him, while the ranks of 1 Arabi's followers were daily swelling. To make matters worse, the powers, through their representatives, demanded a removal of the popular leader. They were answered by a defiant refusal, and although the ministry went through the form of resigning, the reappointment of Arabi to the post of minister cf war was presently extorted by the National party. Embol ened by impunity, the Nationalists went a step farther, and, on Sunday, June 11, the now famous massacre of Enropean residents of Alexandria took place. The prime movois in this outbreak were Egyptian soldiers, representing the party of Arabi. In a few short hours they wrecked the whole European quarter, and the number of Europeans they killed, to say nothing of the wounded, far exceeded 200. Nor were the victims private persons; on tho contrary, tho representatives of foreign powerB were made a special target of popular fury. Tho English vioe-consul was badly bruised and had his arm broken ; the Italian consul was struck with a stone; the Greek consul was badly beaten ; the Austrian consul's wife was attacked and insulted, 1 and an engineer and several Bailors of (he Biitish men ot-war were killed. And while all these horrors were taking ; place the allied fleets lay quietly in the j 1 harbor and not so much as a t-hot was ' fired on the savage rabble. The only thing in the form of a protest that did ( happen was an appeal from the sultan's , plenipotentiary. Dervisch Pasha, to Arabi to maintain ordor. Everything pointed to Arabi as the instigator of the i massacre, and at all events as suoh be is looked upon by the powers. For some time after this terrible event little or nothing was done on either side. Then the question of a conference arose, but was soon subordinated to thatof Turkish intervention From the moment that Arabi Pasha's revolutionary movement gained strength to overcome Tewfik it was evident that - * 1 1 t__ sooner or later an appeal woum ue i made to Turkey by the powers for a { show of the substance of that authority in Egyptian affairs of which England and i* ranee possessed but a shadow. The appeal was made, and the eulfan, anxious to assert his suzerainty, called upon Arabi Pa<-ha to como to Constantinople and relate his grievances. Arabi. however, refused the reqnest pointblank, and the situation, which at one moment seemed to be toned down, assumed a more serious aspect than ever, ever. ThiB in spite of the fact that France very suddenly withdrew. Siiffice it, in as few words as possible, to dwell on tho strength of the opposing forces now gathered at the mouth of the Suez Canal. England has n large navy of ironclads at anchor in the harbor of Alexandria. As regards the number of ?

Even the Bedouins have contributed a large number of recruits (o the regnlar infantry, besides agreeing to famish a considerable body of cavalry. Ali these troops are well armed and fairly disciplined. The artillery is especially well served, its officers being mostly ij'rencnmen or Fenians. The record of the Egyptian army, however, in Bulgaria and Abyssinia speaks poorly for Arabi'a ability to withstand the forces of Great Britain for any length of time. Manufacture of Steel Pens. Steel used for making steel pens reaches the factory in sheets about two feet long by one foot three inches wide, and 0 004 inch thick. They are cut into bands of different widths, according to the dimensions of the pen required, thb most usual widths being two, two and a half and three inches. The bands are then heated in an iron box and annealed, when they are passed on to the roll* aDd reduced' to the desired thickness of the finished pen, thus being transformed into ribbons of great delicacy about four feet long. The blanks 11 -1 J ? are men euumpuu uuu uuu >uu , ribbons by a punching machine, the tool of which has the \ form of the pen required. The blanks leave the die at the lower part of the machine, and fall into a drawer, with the points already formed. They are then punched with the small hole, which terminates the slit, and prevents it from extending, and afterwaid raised to a cherry-red heat in sheet iron boxes. The blanks are then curved between two dies, the concave one fixed and the convex brought down upon it by mechanism. The pens, now finished as regards their form, are hardened by being plunged, hot, into oil, when they are as brittle as glass. After cleansing L? "'J UV UBIUK piacru m a 1BIV>T- I ing barrel with sawdust, they are tempered in a hollow cylinder of sheet-iron, whioh revolves over a coke fire after the manner of a coffee-roaater. The cylinder is open at one end. and whilo it is being turned a workman throws in twenty-five *ross of pens at a time and watches carefully the effeot of the heat on the color of the pens. When they assume a fine blae tint, he poors the pens intu a large metal batin, separating them oze fiom another, to facilitate the cooling. After this process, which requires great skill and experience, oomes the polishing, which s effected in receptacles containing a mixture of fine sand and hydro chloric aoid and made to revolve. This rperation lasts twenty-four hours, and gives the pens a steel-gray tint. The end of the pen, between the hole aDd the point, is then ground with an emery wheel revolving very rapidly. There only now remains ta split the pens, which is the most important operation, being performed by a ki&d of shears. The lower blade is died, and the upper one comes down with a rapid motion, slightly below the edge of the fized blade. To give perfect smoothness to the slic, and at the same time make the pens bright, they are subjected to the operation of burnishing by being placed in a revolving barrel almost entirely filled with boxwood eawdast.? Chronique IndustrielU. Perils and Pitfalls. The sporting man, Fitzgerald, who recently attempted to swindle Charles EVam/tiu AAama #int of <{'20 0(10 bv gaming, is now doing the State of Massachusetts some service in prison. Another man who attempted a card game swindle on Mr. Weed, of Newburg, and actually brought him into his debt to the amount of $450,000, will soon be brought to trial, and it is hoped with'a like result. We have in view still another case, where a college student in an evil moment became intoxicated, which resulted in his punishing a bully who purposely provoked him. The bully, thinking to prey upon the young man's sense of shame, threatened him with the law unless he paid up and settled. Then the young man taking fright, drew on his father for funds; the demands from the bully increased,* and so did the son's drafts, till finally the father annonncing his purpose to come on and investigate matters, the Btudent left college, stole away out West where, arriving penniless, he hired out as a farm hand. Months flew before the father discovered his son, who was persuaded to return home. Then a lawyer took the ca?e in hand, compelled the bully to disgorge, and now that young man is at his studies again. Each case is different in its way, but it points to one moral?not to submit to extortion or blackmail for the purpose of avoiding publicity; meet the issue squarely, and nine chauces to one the villain will back down. That was a wise advice a father gave his mi?nfir>nintr t.hfi VftrioilB ! temptations to which the boy leaving uome would be subject, he solemnly charged him to avoid them all. And then he added, "but if you ever do got into trouble come-to me?you'll tiud no better friend, and it is the only thing to do." The young man did get into trouble, was almost in despair, and contemplated suicide; but he bethought him of his father's advice. He went j to that father and was rescued; that lesson has lasted him all his life. The reader, old or young, can make the application.? Christum at Work. The Teeth or the Yakuts. The New York Utrald correspondent with the patty in search of the lost crew of the Jeannette finds among the natives of Northern Siberia the "most beautiful teeth in all the wide world." He says: Three hundred versts from Yakutsk [ have seen old men of sixty and seventy with sets of teeth small and pearly white and polished and healthy as those of the handsomest American girl of six. teen. Decay and suffering and unsightliness and loss are actually unknownA physician of Yakutsk tells me that he believes the reason of this phenomenon is to be found in the habits and the kicd of food eaten by the natives, as well as to a certain care taken by them from childhood up. In the first place the Yakuts do not touch Bugar in any form, for tbe simple reason that they cannot afford to purchase it. Secondly, they are in the habit of drinking duly large quantities of fermented sour milk, summer and winter, which is antiscor- j butio and is very beneficial in preserv- | ing the teeth. Acd lastly, they have; tbe habit of chewing a prepaiation of i the resin of the fir treo, a piece of which, tasting lfke far, they masticate after every meal, in order specially to olean the teeth and gums of particles of food that may remain after nuals.

I i ????????? War in Egypt, The rum ore of the killing of foreigners is the towne of the interior, says an Alexandria dispatch, are daily confirmed by fresh report!. A refugee from Cairo who arrived at Alexandria to-day soys nunieious massacres of Eurofienna took place in the onUKirts of that city aat Monday. Among thone ki>lod at Tuntan the oilier day were two English engiueeis named ^rowmtjr n:iu mncAiau, nUU ncm D?wfieed by tho uiob despite the efforts of a sheik and ibo governor of the town to save theaj. Ah the employes of tho Cadastral survey in the same town wete also kiilod.

These have been join, d by sol lien aud B^louios from Cairo, ami no doubt a general massacre has begun. Tho news of the massacre or Europeans in vari"Ui paits of Eg\pt has excited fjieat indignation at Alexandria and the delay in taking action is bitterly commented upon. Toe reason the natives have assumed their insolent airs an l aro carrying tilings with such u high hand ie ouin^r to reports of his signal success against the English which Arabi Bey has ciiculated among tho people. A correspondent at Port Said sa\s that after the bombardment of Alexandria Arabi Uey spread a re port that tiio tnt'lisu iroi p-s aa^i uuu^i uoimwu, Other corroi-pomTents way that tho ollicial native rejx>rt ofilie bombardment of Alexandiia says that eight iron-clads wero sunk, two burned and four captured, and that the latter would be brought to Cairo. PROCLAMATIONS ISSUED BY ARABI. On the evacuation of Alexandria Arabi Bey fesu-. d the following proclamation: "ilCDiits: At tho khodivo's instigation the English killed with the sword and shot in revenge the Egyptians who were left to guard the oily. '1 ho Khedive remains at night with his women alloat among iho English and returns to t:ie shore in tho daytime to order a continuance of tho slaughter. Therefore 1 issue my ord 3r to continuo raining eoidiers." A eccond proclamation of Arabi Bey says: "Tiie khedive has iniprii<onod his ministers at Alexandria in order that they may bo instruments in EuKlieh hands. 'J he telegrams dispatched by Itagbeb Pasha authorizing "a cessation of the military..preparations wero forc.bly extorted from him and are therefore iuvalid. An irreconciliable war exists between us and tho Engliph." The London Tetrwaph has a dispatch from Alexandria which says: "The Notables at a meniing in Cairo have adopted a resolution declaring that the khedive, having violated the constitution, ^ a traitor, and so they have deposed hiin. TJioy Juvo ai^o issuea a urocmniation declaring war with England and summoning a LI good Moslems to tight against the enemy." Dispatches from Alexandria say that early this morning Major-General Alison, with two regimenta or infantry and a mounted squadron moved out in the diroction of Arabi Boy's intrenohments at Bamleh and Milaha for the purKoho of blowing up tho railway. Soveral dead odies were found in the Mahmoudieh canal which they crossed in 1 heir line of march. A body of 250 rifles under command of an aidede-camp pushed beyond Milaha and encountered some of Arabi Boy's cavalry. A faw shots wore exchanged and the Egyptians retired after leaving two dead and teveral wounded. The rifle corps then withdrew. The correspondent of the London Timet at Alexandria writes that he is convinced that the report of tho nurnbor of persons massacred at the time of tho bombardment was grossly exaggerated. Still similar reports-of massacres are constantly received, which will probably in the near future b<3 described also as grossly exaggerated. As an instance of this a telegram has been received saying the Arabs-at Is* mailia are murdering the Copts. Every Ea ropean uae uuvv ion \j*uu* The country is drifting into fearful anarchy. Atrocities equal to any ever perpetrated in Bulgaria are committed with impunity. Two Germans at Tulkh who had been sheltered by tho station-master until the train was ready to start, were caught on entering the train, their heads held over the carriage door and. tliuir throats cut. Another Christian was placed on tho rails and a;i engine run to and fro over his body. The khcdivo ha? signed a decree dismissing Arabi Pacha, and declaring hun a robe!. He has also issued a general order forbidding: the Egyptinu aimy to obey orders from Arabi Faciia, an<t forbidding tho people to pay him their taxes. The following is tho order dismissing Arabi Bey: ' In consequence of your derartnre to Kafr ei-JJ'.var, accompaiucu uy uju army, muo auaudoning Alexandria without orders, stopping railway tiaffic. preventing us from receiving telegrams and communications through the post and imp>ding iho return of refugees to their home* in Alexandria, aud of your peisietencoin war prepat&rions and yourrotuaal to come 10 us alter receiving orders, I dismiss you from the office of minister of war.' from Aiexandrii com us tlia lollowtng account of a skirmish between the British troops and Arabi B-.-/S force: It appears that Arabi liey's front loll back to the other stfe of Itamleh and the British thereupon determined to dislodge hiin.

The tr <ops at Kafr-el-Dwar and Ramleh are chiefly a viJIery and cavalry. The inspector of the U.jdasiral survey, who has arrived at Alexandria from the interior, roporta that the total force of tlio Egyptians is about 100,000. Another diupatcn gives the disposition and strength of the Egyptian forces as follows: One division outside of Cairo, two regiments in Cairo, two divisions at Kafr-el-Dwar, 8,000 infantry at Rossetia 'and -7,000 at Ramietta. Each division consists of four regtmenta of in- I laatry ot 740 men each, two regiments of cavalry of 800 men each, one regiment of artillery of 700 men and thirty-six guns. Four thousand civilians were taken from necessary works on I tho Nile to intrench at Kafr-el-Dwar. Arabi B y holds a battalion and a battery of two squadrons in readiness to check any British advance parties. [ rhis gives the Egyptian leader a total force of 27,200 men and 108 guns. Rosoita is a town of about 15,000 inlilliitantts forty miles east ol Alexandria, on tho weitern branch of the Nile. It was here that tho British, under General Fr.izer, in 1807, suffered a disastrous defeat by Mohemet Ali. Here also was found the Ro^-tta stono which gave the first key to the old t-acred Egyptian writing. Daciietta is a town of 30,000 inhabitants, on the east branch ol t ie Nile, and about thirty miles ease of ro:t Said.] There are now at Alexandria ten English, tw > Austrian, one Amerioan, one German, one Russian, one Greek and three Italian men-ofwar. Arabi Bey wrote the following letter to Mr. Gladstone a tew daj-s before the bombardment of Alexandria, but Mr. Gladstone did not receive it until after that event: "The Koran commands us to resist if war is waned against ue. Hence England may r<'st ensured that tlio first gun she fires in ftffypt will au^oivu JCy?'vj tinus 1IUUJ an uiiaiitoi Tne control will ceuse, the property of Europeans will be confiscated, the canals will be destroyed, and the Jehad be preached in Syria, Arabia and India. Ttic first blow with which England strikes J2?ypt will cause blood to flow through the breadth of Asia and Africa, the responsibility for which will be on the head of England. Egypt is still ready to be fast friends with Englaud, and keep her road to India bnt she must keep within the limits of I er juri-diction. Finally, England may rest assured that we are dcteimined to die lor oar country." The lollowing horrible story of the massacre? at Tantak is by the inspector of the Cada?tro: ' I saw women carrying, tied to bludgeon*, dismembered arms and legs of massacred Er.rofieaue. The soldiers una the rabble fought for out. A Brdouin sheik with twonty Bedouins saved tho inhabitant* of the Jewish quartor, and took ihom to his villaire. Another sheik saved myself ?nd party. The mob from Alexandii* murdered three employee of ihe Cadastre and their families and burnt their bodies with potrolcum. They defended tliemselvos bravely against their assailant*, many of whom they killed, until the mob broke in at the hack of the house and diepatch-d them. The mob killed twelve Greeks. They tied the visc8r? of one of the victims to the tail of a dog and covered him with petroleum, which wan sot on fire amid cries of joy from the woman and children. The mob was repulsed eight times. Finally two sheiks arrived and dispersed it." Araiti has imprisoned several sheiks and Bedouins for refusing to obey him. Eighty Bedonius were killed during the skirmish at Kafr-ed-Dwar. The khedivo has formed a new Egyptian ministry, wrh Cheri.' Pacha as premier, and Omar Lufti Tacha at minister of war.

A Hketch Tof the Rained City?I'm Ancient Renown and modern Importance. Alexander the Great sought to fonnd a citv after the destruction of Tyre, and in 332 B. 0. selected the site of Alexandria because of its excellent position for trade. It is twelve miles west of the western Nile aDd between the Mediterranean sea and Lake Mareotis. The city grew rapidly, and soon became the prreat center of Eastern commerce. The Ptolemies succeeded Alexander, and nnder them the city contained snn nnn frp? inhabitants and as many slaves. Tt b< camo the center of learning, and Hchrols of Grecian philosophy flourished there. Magnificent monuments were erected, among them the Pharos, the Museum, and the Temple of Serapis, and there were many gorgeous palaces and public buildings. - Julias Caspar besieged and took the city in 48 B. 0 , and eighteen years later Augustus made it an imperial city. Tt now began a new season of prosperity, continuing till the establishment of the seat of empire at Constantinople. Tbe ."at.acombs, public baths and Pompey's. pillar with the Roman city wall were erected daring this period. In the year 215 the Roman emperor Caracalla visited thecity aiid ordered a general massacre, and under the rule of Gallienus a tamin6 swept off half the population. In 273 an insurrection resulted in the destruction of tbe great library of the museum. In 296 another revolt ended in a general slaughter, and in 365 an ?arth quake destroyed 50,000 persons. The Persians captured the city in 616 ind yielded it to the Arabs in 641. If hen contained 400 palaces, 400 theatres, t,000 public baths and 12,000 pardens. From this time on it rapidly decayed, ind its population and trade diminished. 3airo took its place as the chief city of Ecvpt. It finally sank so low that in 1777 its population was only 6 000 Since then the city had been rebuilt ind raised to importance again, it esembled an Italian city, and had large streets, well paved, heated with ?a?, and abounding with fine reside nces. The great promenade of the Mahomet 4.1i or Franks square, where the massacre of June 11 began, was the central loint of the city. Railways connected ho city with . Cairo 130 miles distt nt, ind with the Suez Canal. The city was t gre.it central station for passengers, is the steamers to and from Inlia, the Mediterranean and the Lievant all stopped there. Among he prominent buildings wer? the ialace of the khediv6 at R'is-el-Tin, he lar^e naval arsenal, the naval and nilitary hospitals, the custom house, rilmnal of oommerco, Italian college, .nd the varicu* schools.
