time. We have been blessed with
many friends and favored with their
warm and cordial support in our
various undertakings. As to ene?
mies, if we have them, we do not
know it We know that we have
friends, and have felt their strong
arm and generous confidence sus?
taining us in many a trial and
strengthening us in all our labors.
They have looked kindly upon our I
errors. While our heartfelt thanks ]
are due to them, we have no cen?
sure to express of those who may |
have been less indulgent or less
just upon some occasions of dif?
ference of opinion. Wo trust that
we have duly profited as much by
the occasional blame we have incur?
red as by the general uniform com?
mendation with which we have
been favored.* At any rate, our
faces are set to look forward and
we shall essay to do our devoir m
evil report as well, as in good re?
port.
We trust that we ore entering
upon a better era of journalism in
our State, since the repeal of the |
law which established so-called offi?
cial organs, and made it possible,
by use of the moneys paid into the
public treasury, for newspapers to
exist whose vocation is to defame
and misrepresent this State and
people. Our best wishes to our
readers, our most cordial greetings
to the reading public, on this the
tenth anniversary of our existence.
We salute them in our best bib and
tucker. May they live long and
prosper! And to come back to our
figure, we bring forward the bird
once more, and ask them, by their
renewed support, to burnish his
wings and strengthen him for other
higher, nobler and more useful
flights.
The Drama.?Rev. Dr. Dix, rec?
tor of Trinity Church, New York,
lectured lately upon the drama. He
held that "the drama ranks among
the fine arts as much as painting
or sculpture, and religion need
have no quarrel with the fine arts."
He did not think, however, that
we now had the drama in its high?
est form. The stage, he said, in its
best condition among us aims at a
lower mark?to entertain agreea?
bly, divert and refresh. These are
well attained, as many of our best
citizens know. Among ourselves
there have lived, and are still liv?
ing, men and women of the high?
est character, who have conferred
great honor on the dramatic art,
and have redeemed its variable
reputation by living unquestiona?
ble, nnreproachable lives. They
have helped us, comforted us, and
done ns good They have been
benefactors of their time; they
will be held in honored and grateful
remembrance long after the names
of some of out notorious agitators
shall have been forgotten. In con?
clusion, he reminded his hearers
that stage manegers were not so
much to blafcua-'was the public for
countenancing and ^ntroruzing cen?
surable performances. Those who
used tlw/drama, right should be
encouraged in their efforts to ele?
vate the tone of society by build?
ing Tip noble examples of virtue
and patriotism before us, and re?
freshing the people with health?
ful recreation after their days of
labor in this toilsome world. '

Egypt and its Ruler.?The Khe?
dive of Egypt is oue of the most
progressive rulers of the age. As tr
Moslem ha is remarkably free
from religious prejudices, and his
sympathies appear to be entirely
on the side of modern civilization.
He has covered Egypt with a net?
work of railway; regulated the in?
undations of the Nile by a gigan?
tic barrage in Lower Egypt; open?
ed the Suez canal; secured by
?eacefnl negotiation from the
'orte the power of making com?
mercial treaties with foreign States,
and consequent independence in
domestic government; increased
largely the croltivatifjn of sugar,
cotton and the general production
of the country; constructed im?
mense harbors at Alexandria, Suez
and Port Said, and improved the
two chief cities with modernised
streets and sanitary and police
regulations. 'With the approving
consent of the Christian world, he
has extended his sway over Dor
four and Kordofan to the heart of
Africa, abolishing the internal
slave trade, and bringing those
barbarous regions under enlighten?
ed control. His army is equipped
jVith the latest modern inventions
in warfare, and is commanded by
American officers who have put it
in such a state of disciplined effi?
ciency that it is equal to any emer?
gency. It is now but twelve years
since Ismail Pasha succeeded his
brother, Said Pasha, in the go?
vernment of Eygpt, but in tnai
time he has effected such moral,
political and industrial changes,
that he may be said to have regen?
erated the country. His prede?
cessor was a narrow-minded bigot,
a despot, and a bitter enemy of re?
form of any kind, with implacable
prejudices against foreigners. Li?
beral in his views, genial in his na?
ture, and wide-awake to every?
thing that can promote the well
being of his subjects, Ismail Pasha
is the benefactor of Egypt, as Iiis
brother was its curse.
They arrange things in style at
Plymouth Church on communion
Sundays, according to the New
York Sun: The Plymouth plat?
form was never prettier, in a
handsome vase at the right of Mr.
Beecher's chair were calla lilies,
tube roses, orchilds, and ferns.
There was a cross at the left of
the reading-desk and close to the
edge of the platform. The cross
was composed of passion flowers,
calla lilies, jonquils, and smilax.
IA large table on which was the
communion bread and wine was
before the platform. The silver
pitchers, goblets, and plates shone
brightly through the gauze which
covered the table. Assistant Pas?
tor Halliday and his assistants
busied themselves before the ar?
rival of Mr. Beecher in trying to
make the table more beautiful.
Brothers Sherman and Caldwcll
smiled approvingly on the work.
Mr. Beecher took his seat in his
usual careless manner, but was
not unconscious that three thou?
sand pairs of eyes were fixed upon
him. He flushed at first, and then
bis face became clouded, and he
put his hand to his forehead, as
though in deep thought.
Served Her Right.?It was in
PariB. An elegant lady' goes out
shopping. While she is engaged,
there is a heavy fall of raid. The
streets are flooded, and, to add to
her distress1, her, carriage stands
on the far side of a large, open
square <which lias .become a lake.
She signals to the driver, bttt his
horses, being young, will riot face
the waller. She stands_,on the
edge of - the curb, stamping her lit?
tle feet, and not knowing what to
do. A gentleman passes, and
takes the situation in, r*t a glance.
Throwing his cigar aside, he steps
up to the lady, seizes her by toe
waist delrcately, plunges into' the
tide, and landa her safely on tiie
lower step of her Wraige door.
Keeoverittg trom her astonish?
ment she turns around and mut?
ters, "Insolent.!" The gentleman
loses no time, but steps back to
the lady, seizes her and landa her
where ahe stood before. He then

\ Abi.vzk with Diamonds.?Mrs.
Astor, the wife of the hundred
milionaire of New York, appeared
at a party given at her Fifth Ave?
nue residence, one evening last
wa&k, at which she literally blazed;
witjb diamonds. On each of her
shoulders, she had four stars, the
size of silver half dollars, made
with diamonds. Her hair was set I
thickly with diamonds,, and her
head seemed aflame with them.
There was a diamond bandeau
upon her brow. She had diamond
ear-rings and a diamond neck-'
lace of magnificent proportions.
Upon the two sides of her chest
were two circles of diamonds about
the size of the palm of tho hand
From them were depended lines |
and curves of diamonds reaching
to her waist, around which she
wore a diamond girdle. On the
skirt of her dress in front were
two large peacocks, wrought of
lines of diamonds. There were
rosettes of diamonds on her slip?
pers. There were diamonds, large
or small, but in every variety and
form, all over her dress and per?
son wherever they could be artisti?
cally placed. Sue presented an
extraordinarily dazzling spectacle.
A connoissuer in precious stones,
who was present, says the dia?
monds she wore could not have
cost lest than $1,000,000.

S've the name of the man accused,
e becamo pastor of a church
there, about two years ago, 28
J'ears old, having just married a
ovely Michigan woman. He was
very zealous, but at the end of the
first year there were whispers of
trouble between him and his wife.
He treated her so abusively that
she threatened to leave him, but at
his earnest request she only made
a short visit from home. At the
end of a month he went to her and
told her that he would ruin her
reputation if she didn't return
home at once. When she got home
he abused her in the most shame?
less manner, lying about her and
applying indecent epithets to her
before company. At one time, not
long ago, after calling his wife a
very bad name, he dropped upon
his knees in the presence of the
wife and others, and addressed the
throne of Grace in thisl anguage:
"O, Lord! Thou knowest that my
hated wife is the one great obsta?
cle in the way of a revival of reli?
gion in my church. Wilt Thou, in
Thy goodness, come down and re?
move her? I

In Spain, rooms arc not warmed
by stoves or fire-places, as there are
not brains enough in that country
to understand these contrivances.
They use braziers' brass dishes
mil of coals, and all the gas re-1
mains in the room. Alfonso's!
room was warmed this way at Avi?
la, and His Majesty was partly]
asphyxiated, but recovered.
"No, Joe, no," said a man of prin?
ciple and compassion* as with > his
teeth chattering, he leaned against
the bar; "no hot Scotch for me, I

Hepworth Dixon talks about the
fascination of Niagara in impelling
women to suicide. A knowledge
of this fact would seem likely to
make Niagara popular with hus?
bands, not so much for wedding
trips as -wedding anniversaries.
"How charmingly naive she is,"
said a young beau to a crusty old
gentleman. "Knave!" exclaimed
the latter, gazing through his
spectacles toward the coquettish
beauty indicated, "I should say
more of a fool."
