been parading the village street, his
\>at trimmed luxuriantly with feathers,
ihile he Bounded forth his own prai-?
hrough the medium of a tin horn. Oi
course he had attracted attention. A
small army of urchins bad surrounded
him, front and rear, and he had takec
their shouts and teasing remarks foi
applause and admiration. But now hi*
grandeur was gone One by one hu
followers had forsaken him, until at lasl
he was "left alone in his calory," and
with poor Nat, like tho rest of us, whal
does glory amount to when there art
none to witness ?
' * * * i - i _ i _ 3 _?fi
Ana so ne movea onwara in ms arm
ng, unoertain way across the creek at
the edge of the village, np the hill, un
til his stalwart form stood out against
the sky?for Nat was strong in bodj
though weak in mind ; then he passed
down on the other side to where th?
road entered a forest which stretched
for miles away. It was here qniet and
lonely, bnt Nat fancied this. He occa
sionally liked to escape from humar
voices and hnman habitations, to gel
away by himself and talk with the birds,
the trees and the flowers. Here in the
wood the wild vagaries of his braic
found full play. Here no one disputed
his claims to greatness, no one denied
his being a noted general, a gifted ora
tor or mn ician, when the fancy seized
him to be such. In faot Nat always
had "greatness thrust upon him he
was never an ordinary man in his owr
estimation, and he was not now.
But on this occasion a new fancy had
taken possession of him?he was oc
business for the King. What King, 01
what was the r>artienlar business he did
not precisely know, but he had derived
his idea from various sermons he bad
heard at ihe village church and Sunday*
school, which he attended with BcrupuIons
punctuality through all weathers,
aud although he understood but little
of the proceedings, yet chance sentences
had fastened themselves on his sluggish
brain.
"I'm on business for the King," he
_ muttered, reacning up his great strong
hand and wrenohing a huge overhanging
branch from its place and speedily
converting it into a walking stick.
jYes, I'm on business for the King, the
King of all around here, the birds, the
trees, the flowers and the bumble-bees.
He sent me, He did. Parson said bo
t'other Sunday. He said the King sent
? ? ? A, 3. V ? TT.
one His messengers to ao ms wors. ce
sent out twelve on 'em once't, an' they
wasn't to take no money in their purse
nor nothin' to eat. He sent me, 'cause
I hain't got no money an' hain't had
sothin' to eat all day."
He strode onward, murmuring his
thoughts as he went, until after a time
' be oame upon a publio road which ran
through the wood. A placard fastened
to a tree by the roadside attracted
his attention, abd he paused
to consider it. He could not
read, but as his eyes were fixed
upon the printed characters the tinkle
of cow bell was heard down the road,
fid presently a cow came into view, followed
by the short, sturdy figure and
round, freckled face of Tomn.y Brock.
Tommy was flourishing a large stick and
shooting at the cow in his efforts to
keep her in a proper homeward direction.
As h? came nr> he exclaimed:
'Hello, Natl "What ar? \ou doin'
here?"
?'Tin on business for the King," replied
Nat, with dignity.
"On bui-iness for ? who?' a&ked
Tommy, in surprise.
"For the King. He sent me," said
Nat, again. "That's his orders there, I
take it," pointing to the placard. "What
-* is it, Tommy ?"
"That? Why that's only an advertiaeaaent,"
answered Tommy, his eyes
opening wider in his astonishment. " It
'Go to Tiacey's Half-Way house for
square meal."'
" Yes, I know'd it! I know'd it!" exclaimed
Nat, exultingly. "The King
Mid take no money nor nothin' to eat,
an' He'd take keer of me. He tays 'Go,'
an'I'll obey orders," and instantly his
tall figure was moving swiftly down the
toad.
Tommy gazed a'ter him a minnte in
. bewildered silence, and then exclaimed
emphatically as he turned away:
"Mv! bat. ain't he cracked 1"
With rapid steps Nat hnrried forward,
swinging hi? hage stick and talking to
himself. He had taken the placaid as
a veritable command to go to Tracey's,
and thitherward he directed his Bteps.
It was not the first time he bad been
there. On previous occasions when he
passed that way he had been kindly
treated by Mrs. Tracey, and perhaps
that bad something to do with the alacrity
of his movement, and he hastened
down the road till it brought him to a
small stream, on the bank of which
stood a sawmill. Mr. Tracey, the
owner of the Half-way house, was engaged
at work here, and he turned aside
to speak to him.
" I'm on business for the King, and
I'm going* to your house," he announced
with the dignified gravity that belonged
to his royal commission.
" On business for the King, and goin*
to my house, eh ?" answered the person
addressed, a good-natnred smile crossing
his kindly face. " Well. I reckon
that's a high honor to me. You've got
?tramp afore you, though, Nat?a good
seven miles."
"I must obey orders," replied Nat,
simply.
"That's right-obey orders. Well,
if you do go tell Mrs. Tracey I'll be
home to-morrow night. Tell her, too,
not to be uneasy about that money bein*
in the house, 'cause I'll see to it when I
come."
" What money's that?" asked a fellow
workman as Nat turned away.
" My pension. My claim was allowed
last week, and I got my money?five
hnndred dollars?yesterday. I was
foolish not to put it in the bank .right
off, bat I didn't, and as I didn't have
time to go to town yesterday I had to
leave it at home. I reckon it's safe
enough, till to morrow night, and
then-"
" Hist 1" interrupted his companion,
suddenly. "What's that?"
Tracey paused to listen.
" I didn't hear anything," he said.
"I thought I heard some one over
there," pursued the other, pointing to
a large, high pile of boards a few feet
distant?the beards being piled in form
of a square, with a Isrge cavity in the
oenter. "Most likely it was rats,
though."
" More likely to be rats than anything
else, thero's so many about here," an
swered Tracey. Then he added,
jocularly: " Maybe, though, it's them
burglars that's been plavin mischief
roQud ^jthefefparts for the last week or
so?maybe they're stowed away in that
pile of lnmber. My! if I really believed
that I'd be uneasy myself, for
the chaps would have heard all I said
bout my pension."

Burke s house in the village and curried
off about a hundred doilars, and then
on Sunday night thsy got into the railroad
station, broke of en the safe, and
made off with about three hundred
more. That's the biggest of their hauls,
though they've entered several other
places."
The conversation was continued on
this topic for a few minutes, and the >
dropped. Neither of the men thought
it worth while to investigate the cause
of the noise, and they pnrsued th ir
work for a short time and were then
called over to the other sido of the mill.
Just as they disappeared a face peered
over the top of the biard pile from the
inside, another followed a moment later,
and presently two rough, villainouslooking
men came into view, and seeing
they were unobserved, sprang quickly
to the ground and hastened into the
forest.
"Close shave that, as bein' as we was
hid there all last night and all day till
now," paid one, as he pushed throngh
the underbrush.
" Yes ; I thought as once them mill
chaps was a comin' to look," responded
the other "Good for 'em as they
didn't, an' took us for rats ; 'cause the
p'lice be on the lookout now an' we
don't want to use no shootin' irons an'
make things too hot. We must move
out lively from 'ere, Bill."
"Not till we get that "ere pension,"
answered B;ll, significantly. " That
lay-out were as good as pitched at us,
an' it'd be a pity not to take it. 'Sides,
the gov'ment owes me a pension for all
the time I've lost in jails and prisons,
an' this ere's a good chance *o get it. I

there ain't no other house nigh."
, " But there's that 'ere other chap as

f I there at all he'll only t-top a bit an<
L move on. A tap on the head '11 settle
I him, anyway, if lie's there?but then
i j be won't be there."
i Daring this time Nat was not idle,
i j Hi6 tall form, with long and steady
i stride, was hastening forward "on busit
ness for the King." It did not occur
[ to him what he should do when he
t reaohed Tracey's and had been sup>
plied with food. At present he was
"oheying orders"?and beyoDd that Lis

long walk be bad undertaken, and it
( was just at dusk tbat be reached his
; : destina'ion. The Half-way bouse was a
> lonely hostelry, situated at the interI
section of two road.", with no other
> house in sight, and was a common
I stopping-place for persons passiDg to
i and from tbe city. Nat stepped boldly
upon the broad piizza in front, and
t with full consciousness of his right
t walked unhesitatingly into tbe pleasant
, sitting-room. Mrs. Tracey cimo for5
ward to meet him.
i " Wby, Nat. is that you ?"
I "Yes'm," he answered, gravely. "I
I was told to come here an' get a square J
meal. The Kinf? sent me."
t " The KiDg sent you ? Well I guess i
i I'll have to give you a supper then," !
> taid she. " And by the way, Nat, did !
i you see my husband on your way here ?"
" Yes'm ; and he paid for me to tell
1 you he'd be home to-morror night, an'
i for you not to be uneasy 'bout that
money."
" Oh, dear I I did so hope he'd come
1 this evening," she sighed.
1 She was indeed uneasy on account of
tho money in the house. She had slept
but little the preceding night for thinking
of it, and bad worried about it all
i through the day, and now another
i lonely night was before her. As she
t was preparing supper for her guest
anotl^er thought came to her. Could
? she not induce Nat to stop there for the
; night ? His notion of wandering made
it an uncertain request and even if he
remained, with his beclouded intellect,
he could not be depended on in case of
i trouble. Still he would be company,
i and perhaps he might aid her?she
prayed for that?if she needed help.
"Nat," she said, as she poured out a
' glass of milk for him, "won't you stay
1 here to-night ?'
"I don't know whether it be orders,"
1 he answered, uncertainly. " Parson
said the King sent out His messengers,
an' they wasn't to take no money nor
nothin' to eat, an' I don't know if it be
right to stop."
" Oh, yes, it is," replied Mrs. Tracey,
catching at once an idea of his thoughts.
" I heard what the parson faid, too.
"When the King's messenger entered a
house he was to abide- there? that is to
stop. Don't you remember ?'
Nat considered the proposition.
1 'm fKof'a TT?a />> /-?oro T'll ofrtrv "
i.tO tuav o ' ? ' vtuvioi a it wvv^/j
he said.
"And. Nat," pursued the lady, rendered
eager by her success, " there's
another thing the King said?you he?rd
it at Sunday-echool. He said, ' Suffer
little children to ocme unto me '?that
is such little children as mine there,"
pointing to them as they stood at her
side. " And the King said, too, 1 Whosoever
shall offend one of these little
ones it is better for him that a millstone
were hanged about his neck, and he
were cast into the sea.' The King
doesn't wish any barm to come to His
little ones, in anv wav?you remember
that?'
4'Yes'm," replied Nat, absently.
"Well, theD," continued Mrs. Tracey,
driving the concluding nail into her argument,
"if any bad, kicked men
should come here to.-night and try to
hurt me or thepe little ones
that belong to the King, you would
help us, wouldn't you?"
She waited anxiously for the reply.
Nat looked at her vaguely for a moment,
and then his eyes wandered aimlessly
about the room, and then back
to her, Finally he baid, quietly :
" The King sent me. I'll obey or]
ders."
How far he understood she did not
know, and all her effort could draw out
no more definite reply, and with that
6he was obliged to be content. As the
evening grew late she provided her
guest with a sleeping place, in an adjoining
room, by throwing a few quilts
on the floor?for Nat would sleep no- :
where else-and then she lay down,
without andressing, on a bfd beside ;
i ~ i A:
iier cuiiurtfu. dul u watj a uzuu
before 6lumber visit<d her troubled j
spirit. j
As for Nat, no thought of worry or j
anxiety for the future was on hie mind,
and he "slept the sle*pof the jast"and
his dreams were peaceful. But after
a time those d.-cams became disj
turbed and discordant ? a voice J
I seemed to be calling him from his King, i
! and presently he awakened with a
j start.
"Natl help! Nat, the King wants :
j you!" came in smothered tones from the 1
I other room.
In an instant he sprang lightly to his
feet, and grasping his stick he strode :
forward and opened the door. A fearful i
straggle met his view as he entered.
Two rough, evil-looking men were there
?one holding Mrs. Tracey, the other <
the children?and the villains were evi
dently trying to bind and gag their vie i
tims. As Nat witnessed the scene his
tall, form seemed to tower yet higher,
j and a strange, fierce light gleamed fiom
j his tyes.
"I belong to the King!'' he than|
dered. "How dare you offend His little
ones ?"
At this unexpected intrusion one of
the burglars released his hold of Mrs.
Tracey, aud sprang forward with an oath
to meet him. But it was in vain. The
great stick was whirled in the air, and
then came down with fearful foice on
the head of the villain, and he sank i
senseless to the floor. The remaining i
burglar hastened to his comrade's assistance,
but he was like a child in the i
hands of a giant, and in a moment he, i
too, was helpless and motionless. Nat ]
stooped and drew the two insensible i
forms toward bim. i
"Now bring them ropes, and I'll '
hang a"?be paused, and left the sen- ]
teuce unfinished. " But there ain't no i
millstones 'bont here to hang 'round
! their necksT he added, looking up bewildered.
" D j you b'lieve a big rock
would do? I must obey orders."
" No, 1 don't believe a rock would do,"
replied Mrs. Tracey, smilinc: in spite of
her alarm. "But they will be coming
to presently; 1 would just tie their <
bands and feet and leave them until i
morning."
' Yes'm, so 1 will. The King said tie ;
'em hand and foot?that his orders. They
won't offend His little ones any
more," and in a few minutes Nat h^d
them safelv secured.
I need not tell of the night that followed,
of bow Nat kept sleepless guard
over his captives, and of boW, whnn
morning oamc and help came with it,
the burglars were safely lodged in the
county jail. All that is easily surmised.
But at last Nat was a hero?not only in
his own eyes but in the eyes of all
others. He bore his honors meekly and
with dignity, as a right belonging to a
servant of the KiDg. He accepted the
numerous congratulations and handshakings,
wondering, perhaps, wxiat it
all meant, and replying to the questions
heapod upon him with the simple statement:
'*1 just obeyed orders." Nothing,
however, could induce him to accept
any reward for his services. The royal
command was to take no bread, no

Bat Nat did not lack for friends after
that. He still oontinued his wandering,
and, as the story spread, homes
aud hearts were open to him everywhere.
But it was at Tracey's that he
was more especially welcomed, and as
the years came and went it was noticed
that his visits became more frequent
and his stays more prolonged. Indeed,
as Tracey expresses it:
" He'll get his orders to como here
and die yet, I reckon ; an' he's welcome
to all the care we can give him. An' I
jnst believe that away up in that other
world we read about he'll be as clearheaded
as anybody, and in genaine
earnest will be forever 'on business for
the King.'"?Erskine M. Hamilton, in

Chinese Babies.
Let us suppose that the solemn bath
appointed for the third day is over,
which would seem to be almost a Chi- i
nese baptism, and the mother to be
convalescent. If the offspring be a girl
there will probably be no rejoicing, but
if a boy the mother will go in state to
the temple freqnented by her family
and offer thanks to Tien How, the qneen
of heaven. The only time it was onr
fortnne while in China to see a native
lady of any standing was on such an occasion.
A wife of Howqaa, the son of
the celebrated Hong merchant, had gone
to the temple of Honam to return thanks
for the birth of a son. The shrine in the"
temple which she was visiting had been
founded by the elder Howqna in honor
of his ancestors; it is a lofty hall, with
roof open to the beams, closed in the
rear and at the sides, but in front open
ing with richly carved doors on a raised
terrace surrounded by a stone balustrade
and overlooking a square turfed inclosure
containing two or three fine specimens
of the Chinese banyan, or Fiats
rcligiosn, and a pond of water covered
with the broad green leaves and rosetipped
flowers of the lotus, the sacred
plant of Buddha, who is often repre-'
eented as seated on its open Sower.
Crossing this pond and skirting it
were a bridge and gallery of massive
stone carving corresponding with the
balustrades, and communicating with
the terrace. On the opposite side of
the gallery was seen the rear of another
shrine* colored of a deep vermiiion
like the one in front, with its high
arched ioof sweeping down like the
curved outline of a Tartar, tent (from
which the Chinese style of architecture
is supposed to be borrowed), and
adorned with dragons, birds and dolphins
in glazed pottery of the brightest
colors. Down either side stretched a
line of gloomy cloisters communicating

one end of the terrace were two or three
small tables arranged with viands placed
npon them, and surrounded by a considerable
party of Chinese, among whom
we noticed several females standing, evidently
in attendance upon some lady,
as in China the servants are almost invariably
of the other sex. Knowing
the scruples of the Chinese against admitting
foreigners into the presence of
the female members of their families,
we turned back, and were on the
point of leaving that part of the
temple, no little disappointed at
being unable to see the whole of the
building, when two members of the
group, one of whom was a son of Howqua,
camo forward and requested as, if
we wished, to continue our examination.
We did so. The ehrine at which the
ceremony was going on had been decked
with flowers, whilst on the lonsr counterlike
altar in front of the figure of the
goddess, between the jars of porcelain
and bronze half filled with sandalwood
ashes in which sticks of incense were
burning, and upon two square pedestals
in front of the altar, were piled up pyramids
of fruit and sweetmeats.
On either side of these pedestals were
two of smaller size, on each of which
was placed a book apparently of religions
service, and by its side a email
wand and a hollow, red, kidney-shaped
gonrd, which when struck gave a hollow
and not unmueioal sound, each blow
upon it marking the repetition of a
prayer. These, as it were, formed the
lecterns of the officiating priests, and
between them, lacing the central vase
on the hiphi altar, was placed a
cushion and a mat on which the
fair devotee might kneel and perform
thekotou, or ceremony of kneeling and
touching the ground with the head at
certain periods during the service. At
either side of the central door of the
shrine stood a large bronze vaee heaped
with silvered paper formed into boxes
about the size and shape of steel-pen
boxes, and emblematical of bars of
Sycse silver, which is burned at the
conclusion of the ceremony as an offer;

On passing outht of e shrine, still ac- I
companied by the two Chinese who had
joined us we passed near the banqnter
ing party, when the lady rose, supportap
by two of her servants, and, crossing hehandB,
sainted us in the Chinese fashion.
Of herbeiu'y lean say nothing ; neither
my companion nor myself could remember
anything save a face painted a la
Chinoiic, and hair tied up in the usual
tea pot form, dressed with magnificent
pearls, jade ornaments, and natural
flowers. The golden lilies, as the inhabitants
of the flowery kingdom call
the crippled feet of the higher classes
of their women, and the splendidly embroidered
robes, attracted our attention i
far more than the eyes and features,
which doubtless cnght to have been our
only consideration
It is after this festival?not always,

cence we have described?that the relatives
of the child present it either with
plate or bangles of silver or gold, on
which are insoribed the characters signifying
long life, honor and felicity. Jt
is also at this period that it receives its
"milk name," or the pet name by which
it is known in its family, the name by
which it is known to others be:ng only
given to it at the completion of its
fourth year, when its education is supposed
to commence.
1 Gallant Deed.
The dispatches from Alexandria enlarged
upon the wonderful devotion and
extraordiaary bravery of the gunner on
board one of the British vessels who
picked up a shell with a burning fuse
and immersed it in a bucket of water.
This was a courageous act, but it was
not "more gallant than anything of
the sort ever before chronicled." Daring
our own war for the Union, Pays a
Chicago paper, hundreds of cases as
deserving of mention occurred.
At Stone River, when Croft's brigade
of Palmer's division was pursuing the
routed Confederates on the 2d of January,
they came suddenly on a reserve
battery that opened en them with surprising
fury. The men were ordered t j
lie down, and dropped in the soft mud
of a cornfield. The Confederato prtillerymea
had the range, however, and
poured shot and shell iuto the advance
line in a way that tore some unfortunates
in pieces and covered nearly
every one with mud. In the mi 1st of
the terrific fusillade a shell struck
between two men lying fiat on
the ground so near to their
heads as to stun both. Dozens of men,
the bravest there, closed their eyes in
anticipation of the terrible scero that
would follow the explosion. Bat one I

How immense are the transportation
interests of the United States. There
are about 100,000 miles of railroad in
the country, the investment value of
which is ?4.600,000,000. In 1880 it
carried 250,000 0C0 tons of freight, with- w
out counting passengers, mails, baggage
and express goods. According to census
of 1880 the railroads employ 410,245 *
persons.

An Egyptian correspondent gives the t
I fillnwinc interesting eossio about the ,
present khedive of Egypt and hiB j
brothers: " Ismail Pacha, the former .
khedive of Egypt, brought up his ]
sons, of whom he had five, in a peculiar
manner. Tewflk, as the heir apparent,
and now khedive, was educated
in Egypt and is a bigoted MusBulmar.
The tecond 6on, Prince Housman, was D
brought up in France, and is a thorough c
Parisian in all his tastes. Prince Halem, 2
the third son, graduated at the Berlin
university and loves his lager beer and t
tobacco as well as any German; indeed a
I ho is an officer of the German army. He t
is said to be the ablest of all the sons of
the late khedive. Prince Ibrahim is a E
thorough Englishman. He studies at i
j Woolwich, eats roast beef, drinks Bass' ,
ale, and affects bulldogs. The fifth eon
is a boy of thirteen, and is at a college r
j inTurin, Italy. Such is the polyglot
family of the late khedive.
Tho French scheme for making an v
spa in the interior of Africa
has been abandonnd. The commission fl
appointed to investigate the projtot 1 as
reported that the inevitable cost would 1
be out of all proportion to the proble- *
matical advantages, being somewhere
in tho neighborhood of 8250,000,000. 1
Af-ide from the impracticable nature of 1
the enterprise it was reported that several
positive losses might be expected \
to result frorr it. One savant declared t
that by the influx of the sea an immense
number of fresh-water wells would be c
title i up and rendered useless, to the ,
gr -at detriment of the people on the t
neighboring slopes who are now in tha
habit of resorting to them. Another t
maintained thau when the sea was
formed iho breezes and spray from it
would destroy tbe vegetation around,
and prove specinlly hurtful to the date
palm trees which are now a great source of
profit and give the most agreeable (
shade in those arid regions. f
When the Dahe of Sutherland was '
visiting the United States recently he
went to the remarkable line of farms
owned by Colonel James Young, Middletown,
Pennsylvania. He was delighted,
and admitted that he hod expected to
see no such agricultural perfection in
the United States. The colonel's crops
now out embrace 310 acres of wheat,
410 of grass, 280 of corn, 270 of oats,
twenty-four of tobacco, twenty-one of
potatoes, etc. There are eleven farms,
and full sets of farm buildings, thirteen
barns, and the whole body embraces
1,440 acres of land, running along the n
pike two and a half miles. The last (i
year there were 243 head of fat cattle.
The herd of Alderney embraces forty- 8
six pure-bred animals, a number of i
them imported. Colonel Young hfis v
recently been offered $3,000 for five r
cows. The animals are groomed and j
cleaned like race-horses. The duke .
gave a cordial invitation to Colonel .
Young to visit him in England -and partake
of his hospitality.
Hints to Bathers.
1. When using baths as curative '
means do not depend upon your hand
to determine the temperature, but use a 1
thermometer.
2 Let the room be heated above sev- 1
enty degreep, and made impervious to ]
draughts, i
3. Extremes of temperature are sel- <
dom usefnl in health and may be dangerous
to verv voudc or old persons, to in- ?
valide and convalescents. i
4. Cool baths are not well borne by
any one * hen cold orfatigued?during t
the men6trual period, nor by many per- J
sons not constitutionally robnst. ?
5. Do not bathe soon after hearty eat* e
ing or drinking or when overheated; a
though a cool plunge is not likely to be
hurtful when somewhat overheated if it .
is of but a few minutes' duration and
follow d by brisk rubbing.
G Before leaving a warm bath add a
little cold water, unless the bath is to 0
be immediately followed by a warm bed. 0
7. Neither in health or disease is 8
there any advantage in prolonging a
bath more tban fifteen minutes, and ii
frmirt liafVio ahnnld nonniat mainly I b
in a plnrge or a dip and a rub. r
8 If reaction or a returning glow of
warmth in the skin is not made sufficient f
in brisk rubbing and exeroise, a warm v
drink will assist, and sometimes the use t
of a mild stimulant may be necessary. t
9. The head should as a rule bo wet T
proportionately with the rest of the
body, 60tbat the blood circulation may .
be eqnulized.
10. In fevers tbo sponge bath is
usually the safest, and a decrease of 0
bodily temperature is more safely and
surely achieved by warm than by cold D
water. a'
11. In sickness, nervousness, restlessness
and exhaustion, relief is often af- *
forded by a salt sponge-bath, and a little
alcohol or ammonia in the water may t!
make it more agreeable. w
12 In administering sponge baths it p
is usually best to finish one pait before ?
wetting another.
13. Compresses are folded wet cloths, n
which may be wrung out with cold, p
warm or hot water, laid upon a part
and covered with a dry flannel cloth.
14. Fall bathp, half "oaths, sitz and ?
foot baths and compresses are employed
for tonic, sedative, quieting, astringent,
laxative, warming and cooling effects,
either on ihe whole body or locally.
15. In use of local applications for t!
relief of pain bo guided by the experi- ai
ence of the patient, and use cold, cool, 8
warm or hot water as pleases him beat, cl

Its Father's Completion. w
Mr. Blanket sat 1 nking at the baby ir
with a wistful, far-off Irok in his eyes, ft
trying to think of the usual idiotic, uu- ei
meaning and unmeant thing* that peo- *
pie say about new babies, und at last, as b>
a spa'-m of originality, remarked that jr
"the baby had its father's complexion." g
Then all sat and looked at the rich car- fl
dinal hues that made the wrinkled conn- tl
tenance of the un.ionscions infant glow .
like a mountain Sunset, and nobody said
anything until a feeble voice from an p,
adjoining room said: "It was a good s
thing that the baby had it naturally,
theD, as it required about fifteen years 0;
steady practice, and the co-operation of ^
three scientific clubs and five political
campaigns to acquire it." Then a sad, ki
quiet smile stole over tho room again, 1,1
only broken by the hard breathing of
the baby's father looking at the ther- in
momoter to see what time it was, while
Mr. Blanket, feeling that he could add >i
nothing to what had already been said,
stole down 1 he stairs, softly whispering
to himself about some old fool ; but
the company couldn't catch the name,
and tho company didn't know whom he n
meant. n

all of the Sixtieth regiment. Wo had a akir- Q
mish with the enemy, whioh was 3,000 strong, ,
with six guns and six rockets, from 5:30 to 7:30
o'clock in the evening. The total casualties to
the naval brigade and marines are two killed a
and twonty-two wounded.1' e
The following is General Allison's report of
the engagement: "Porsistent native reports existing
during the past few days that Arabi Bey
was retiring from Kafr-el-Dwar upon Dumanhunr,
I determined upon a rccoimoiasance to
ascertain cloarly whether Arabi still held hia
original position strongly. Tho loft column a
began to advance at 4:45 p. m. from the advance I
pickets of the Ramleh linos, moving by both ^
banks of the Mahmoudioh canal, and soon came n
into action with the enemy, who was strongly
posted in a group of pa m trees on a
the eastern sido and in strong, defensible house* e
and gardens on the other sido. Thtso positions g
wero carrieJ. Attnisume jLiiuutenuiiv ijod, ^
of the Sixtieth, and one soldier were killed. ,
The enemy tben took a second position half a 1
mile in the tear upon the east bank of tho t
canal among hi^h crops and houses and behind I
the irregular banks of tho canal. From this ?
position, also, the enemy was driven with ,
great loss. I accompanied the right column v
myself. As soon as the enemy observed us f
they op?nsd firo with artillery. I pushed on t
as rapidly as possible till I reached a point (
where the railway approached nearest /
to tho Mahmoudieh canal and opened .
musketry fire upon the enemy lining c
the banks of the canal. Two nine- C
pounders were dragged on to the embank- \
ment and came into action against the f
enemy's guns, the forty-pounder firing over .
our heads against a point where the enemy's J
forces were beginning to appear. I now t
threw forward two compinios to carry a house I
near the canal and followod up by throwing ?

The enemy retired slowly before us. The
fire of their sevcn-poanders and nine-centimeter
guns was speedily got under by our
artillery. The object of my reconnoissance
was attained and I determined to withdraw.
This movement was carried out with the most
perfect regularity and precision. The troops fell
back by alternate companies with the regularity
of a field day. Every attempt by the enemy
to advance was crashed by the beautiful precision
of the lorty-pounder and the steady
firing of the nine-pounders. The losses of the 1
enemy appear to have been very great. They t
wero so dispirited that, contrary to' the usual (
practice of Asiatics, they made no ai tempt to (
follow up our withdrawal. As a reconnoisance ?
the success of our move was all that ( could J
wish. I regret to state that our loes was some- ]
what heavy. Lieutenant Vyse was one ot the j
most promising officers I ever met. Oar total \
loss was four killed and twenty-nine wounded." }
At the lord mayor's banquet in London Mr.
Gladstone delivered the following, justifying
England's war in Egypt: " It is of vital im- <
portauee that the position of Eng.and shou'd 1
not be misunderstood. Forces have gone te t
Egypt in prosecution of great interests of tht *
empire. Unless those interests exiat it would
not have been possible for ua to find a *
justification for intervention. But let it (
be known and proclaimed from this spot,which <
uWnnia (i rhannel of communication with the
world net inferior to tbe nato itat-lf, that ,
those interests are not ours alone, but iti tereata '
we have in common with every State in Europe, 8
nay, with the whole civilized world."
lloferring to the Suez canal, Mr. Gladstone
said: "It is essential for mankind that thai
gate should be open, and that the country in
which it ia aituated should be peaceable and
orderly and under legal government. The utmost
we have in view, though tbe burden and
the honor of performing it may fall upon ourpelves,
is a work which it is essential for ever) ?
country in Europe to perform, and the performance
of which cannot but redound, if it be as- ?
sociated with high and disinterested objects, to ?
the honor of those npon whom the harden ia
cast."
Mr. Gladstone continued: " We do not go tc
war with the Egyptian people, but to rescue
them from the oppression of military tyTanny ; ?
nor do we make war upon the Mohammedan
religion, as Englishmen respect tbe convictions
of believers in every other faith. We do not
want to repress the growth of liberty in Egypt,
but desire that she be prosperous. England (
troes to Egypt with clean hands and with no 1
secret intention to conceal from other nations, t:
There is a class of men besides the military
who require to be overawe-l - who were < he instruments

A Fearfol Swim for Life. - ?
A correspondent, writing from El *
Dorado Oanon, Nev., sajs: Another of *
onr old-timers has been swallowed up
by the treacherous Colorado. Barney 5
Ooleman and Benjamin Goooh, accom- 0
panied by two Indians, started up the p
river one morning recently in a skiff for a
the purpose of catching drift-wcod.
After reaching a point between twelve
and fifteen miles up the river the boat, *
becoming unmanageable, was drawn (
into an eddy and disappeared in an instant.
The skiff at the time was near a t)
steep cliff of rocks, whose walls were A
f.wn hundred feet in height, and the 0
Indians, observing tbat the eddy was d
about swallowing, the boat and crew,
jumped out and clung to the rocks and ^
Qocch endeavored to do the same thing
after them. He secured a slight hold a
to the perpendicular sides of the cliff,
slung to it only for a moment, then fell
into the water and was seen no more. ,
Ooleman pprang from the stern of the ^
Otiff out into the river and got beyond ?
the eddy, where he watched for the ap- a
pearance of the boat. He had not long
to wait, bat it seemed to him ages, a
when he caught eight of it, bottom up- u
yard, a few yards down tho river, when ?
le swam after it, overtaking and cling- =
ng to it.
Iq this condition, for three miles, he g
rent shooting" past reeks, plowing I
hrough breakers and whirling about in I
iddies, when he came face to face with
>ne of those roaring rapids and treach
>rous eddies so numerous and so dreadul
in the Colorado. There was no time
o lose. Another chance between life 2
md death, and that chance perhaps was ?
he only one in a thousand. Theresolu- '
ion was formed one moment and exicuted
the next. The skiff was in the
nidst of the rapids, standing on end ; %
mother breaker and over it went, j
Phis was an indescribable moment I
6 Coleman, whose sole reliance
tad deserted him, as he felt a !
jrieoner in the hands of death, and I
hough he had scarcely Known his |
itrongth before here was a desperate *
ipportunity for its test, and he says that J
le felt that he was a mere straw at the &
nercy of a wave one second and an eddy l,
he next. ^
Hero was waged a lierce and pro- n
racted struggle for life botweeu a g
>owerful man and skillful swimmer, *
weighing 225 pounds, and first a whirl- 4
>ool and then a rapid, whose force and
lize and danger can never be realized
>xcept by tho man whose life was
remblini? in the balance, but courage "
nd human strength at last prevailed, B
.nd the brave man swam on
?ver rapids and through whirl
>ools for the distance of
hree of as perilous miles as was prob- c<
ibly ever won by man. Who can imag- ]{'J
ne his feelings as he reached in safety a
,nd crawled upon the river bank, |(
Fhere he lay for some time completely ||
ixhausted ? As soon as he had regained
ulficient strength, Coleman set out for
ho canon, and, shoeless and naked, j,t]
,fter a tramp of six miles over the baren,
rocky mountains and through deep
:anons of burning sand in the heat of

Cnrioos Case or Somnambulism* C
CJ
A curious psychological study is ?<
ffcrded by the case of a youflg lad of 8
onrteen years, whose performances ^
?hen asleep are certainly marvelous, si
ihe lad's name is Martin Frobischer, a
,nd it is suid of him that from his earli- gj
ist boyhood he has been the subject of o
omnambulism. Ee has a decided ?
alent for drawing, in whioh art he has a
ately become quite interested. This
xercise has taken i uch a hold upon the
>oy's mind that he lises in the night in ^
i complete unconscious state, and will i
>nr?t.intiA tn work on an unfinished piece p
if drawing with ag much skill and dexerity
as though he were awake. The ~
ither night he got up and drew a head ~
rom a cast which he had drawn on paper '
luring the previous da; on the wall of his
ihamber. In conversation with the
/oy'fl father he said: "I can understand
low a somnambulihtio subject; can go
hrough certain mechanical motions, 1
)ut it is inconceivable to me how the
)oy is able to draw with such perfect *
Mention to every detail?to put expres- *
