his best to make the Suez Canal means
of furtherng his own ambitious eads.
Meanwhile, it appears he has issued inv,

Prince. Egypt, spite of certain priy,i-

integral part Of the Turkish Empire.
Ismail Pacha is only the Sultan's substi,

of great province, but he owes allie :

From John burroughs IN June htAntic'I
It usually happens, when the mate OF
asy species is killed during the breeding
season, that the female soon procures
another mate. There are, most likely,
always few minated birds, OF both
sexes, within o given range, and through
these the broken links may be restored.
Audubon or Wilson, forget which, tell
of a pair of fish-hawks or ospreys, that
built their nest in an ancient oak. The
male was 80 jealous in the defense OF the
Young that it actually attacked with beak
and claw person who attempted to
climb into its nest, putting his face and
ewes in jeopardy. Arming himself with
a heavy club, the climber felled the gal
liant bird to the ground and killed him.
In the course of few days the female
had procured another mate. Bat, natur-
ally enough, the stepfather showed none
of the spirit and pluck in defense of the
brood that had been displayed by the

Mr.. Bunkard responded on their behalf
10 an able speech. An address was made
by Mr. Abercrombie, who has been with
the firm since they commenced business,
who gave brief history Of the firm OF
Steinway b Sens, exhibiting how, from
an humble commencement seventeen
years ago, when they manufactured
but one piano weekly, the hrm had,
within that comparatively brief space OF
time, solely through the excellence OF
their productions and sbillful manage
ment, attained their present eminent
position, namely, that OF having the most
perfectly arranged and extensive estab-
iishment in the world, regularly employ

workmen, and turning out no less than
"sixty" grand, square and upright

of the civilized world. The business of

sous to New York to study this system
of piano-forte making at its headquarters;

IN. I.nane,e Ram stonewaII.

1t will be remembered that in 1867,
certain Japanese Commissioners, one
Tomsgoro and others, visited this coun-
try, making large purchases OF American
products. Among other things, they
bought of our government the celebrated
ram Stonewallfo for $400, 900, paying $3OO,-
600 cash, and stipulating to pay the bal
ance on the arrival Of the ram in japan.
The State Department has recently re-
ceiyed the final payment and placed the
same in the Treasury to the credit OF the
Navy Department. The rebellion in Js-
nan caused long delay in the delivery
Of the ram after her arrival in japan.
During this time the expenses OF the ves-
sel and crew, some $4,000, were borne
and advanced by the State Department
through the Legation at Yeddo. This
sum was promptly reimbursed by the Ja-
panese Government, with interest. They
also allowed interest on the balance OF
the purchase money from the date OF
transfer in Washington to the time oil
