Boston Water Celebration.

The Boston papers of last week are filed
with descriptions of this magnificent fete,
which occurred in that city on the 25th ult.
1t was 10 celebrate the introduction of pure
water into the city from Lake Cochituate or
Long Pond, body of water lying in the
towns of Natick, Wyland and birmingham,
about twenty miles from the city. The lake
covers an area of 695 acres, and drains
surface of II 400 acres. In some places il
is 70 to so feet in depth. From an analysis
of its water by Professor Silliman, il is found
to be remarkably pure, possessing an advan-
tage in this respect, over the Croton and
Schuylkill water. or the waters of six diff
ferent sources, examined and Analysed by
him. he remarks, " that this Long Pond
water) stands by itself in containing less
solid matter to the gallon, than any other,
and, in the feebleness of its reactions, with
nearly all the chemical tests" He further
states, g that the Lake Cochituate waters
are entirely inodorols and tasteless, perfect
ly soft and pleasant to the taste and when
tested by soap, it is hardly rendered in any
degree ;urbid not more so than is usual
with the purest rain water"

Although lead ore meets with ready
sale at high prices, II rather appears that
the amount raised and brought into market
is considerably less than in some former
ears. The price now ranges at from $40
TO $40 per thousand pounds. In 1912 it
was as low as Sll, and even less yet 1t
then seemed to be abundant. We have no
means of ascertainiDg whether there is more
labor or less labor now devoted to this bust
ness than there formerly was. Ii il certain

~ was. Many diggcrs, perhaps we might
cay the whole Of them, are engaged large

would infer that the business is more uncer-

Egvpt-its present Government.

When peace was proclaimed between
Egypt and the Ottoman Porte, and Syria
was restored to the Sultani il was stipulated
that the Viceroyship of Egypt, should re-
main forever in the family of Mehemet Ali
Pacha. The old Pacha, however has be-
come imbecle and partly insane-who was
once the terror of surrounding countries,
and who at one time actually determined 10
dismember the Turkish Empire, is now en-
tlrely childish, superannuated and broken
down; and his eldest son lbrahim Pacha'
brave and skllful soldier, has been invested
with the Caftan, and has arrived at Grand
Cairo TO assume the government of Egypt.
The Oil pacha resides in one of his palaces
near Cairo, where his is built. In one of
his lucid intervals, his young and favorite
son Mehs;nst Ali Bsy, communicated to-
him the intelligence of his having been SUI
perSeded in the Government of Egypt, at
which he expressed his Indignation; bnt he
fell into his usual lethargy. and forgot all
about il ibrahim Pacha is fond of money
and very penurious. lie will Danish host

of the old government, and make a general

in their own country, would never have set
tied in Egypt. One OF those employees,
Cot Bey, physician, and an Englishman
by birth was in this country some fifteen
years ago, and is quite an able man. He
is still in office. lbrahim will take care of
