Irishman, somewhat noted for his exploits
among the fair sex, seduccd young serving
woman named Angeline Shroyer, some two
years since, and long suit followed about tho
maintenance of the child. The girls father
proposed ON her behalf, to settle the matter
for an indemnity of $500 aud the costs of the
suit. Crotty had come to the Monroe House
where anseline was working, to make payment
and taking receipt in full. Here dispute
occurred, Crotty claiming that the amount
should be only $500 in all, Crotty was quite
boisterous in his language, frequently going
out to stimulate himself with liquor The
girl also slipping out, procured pistol and on

The London press, in discussing the recent
Wall street fury is at loss to account for the
readiness of American miionnaires to thus
upset all financial order when their own
wealth should give them the greatest interest
id Its preservation. But suppose there are no
millionnaires in the case, save such as arc
drawn in by the force of circumstances Sup
pose, for illustration, it Is the common case of
the merchants clerk. The rich merchant has
his funds in such a position that his conndsn-
tial clerk has freq access to the TILL The clerk
takes the merchants money into Wall street to
speculate and get little fortune OF his own
But he loses. He sees disgrace and punish

unless he makes the losses good. Ho deter
mines to make them good, and speculates
more boldly, still with the merchants money
lie loses again. So he goes on, becoming
more and more wild in his game and moro
desperate in his ventures. Here is case in
which the millionnaire's money is freed from
the restraint of the millionnaire's caution, and
here is the true history of the Wall street

The crowds who are now aocking to Egypt
threaten, according to some accounts, to
create famine in that ancient granary of the
world. Three dollars for pound of beef
steak, and wretched beefsteak at that, is now
being paid at Cairo. This is but the begin
ming of the affair. When the other monarchs
arrive, and when the crowd finds itself in the
desert, 1t will certainly be well to belong to
the company of the viceroy. Care will DO
taken of all the viceroy's invited guests; but
1t will be well for those who set out on their
own hook to consider that where nothing can
be bought money will be of little avail.
In spite, however, of every drawback, the
opening of the canal promises to be grand
affair-much grander, in fact, than the other
affair which is to take place in Rome shortly
afterwards. In Its prospective results the
canal must be regarded as the most wondrous
work of our time. 1t will completely revolu-
tionize the currents of trade. The Mcditer-
ranean will again become the great sea of
commerce. Trade will revert to it's old chan-
nels and will revive some of it's ancient GEN.
tres. Egypt will acquire an Importance which
will necessarily place her under the special
protection of all the great commercial nations
of the world. She cannot long remain under
even the nominal sovereignty of the Turk. II
will not be longer possible even for the United
States to be Indifferent TO her interests in that
direction.
