Sir Samuel Bakers Nile Expedition, says
the New York Herald, comprising well
equipped army of vethousand men and several
steel steamers, built in England, constructed so
as to be taken to pieces at the rapids and put
together again in the river above them. has
left Lower Egypt en- route for the great lakes
from which flow the head streams of the Nile.
The objects are the annexation of the whole
Nile valley, to its head in the great elevated
BASIN b Ct the Equator to the yiceroyalty, of
Egypt, and to put all those wild tribes of the
upper valley and basin to the cultivation of cot
ton. Apart, however, from these objects of the
Viceroy, the expedition will no doubt result in
valuable acquisitions acknowledge to the scen-
tlfic world touching the still unsettled geographic
cal problems Of the Nile sources and the equa-
torial region drained by the sacred river.

Making Love with Umbrellas

"A certain dramatic writer being caught in
shower of rain, took refuge under the portico
of handsome dwelling in New York As soon
as he had taken the position, a window was
opened and a lovely female face appeared.
which seemed to beam with sympathy and anx
lety; She soon retired and sent him an um-
brella by servant He at once fell desperate
ly In love, and thinking from her anxious looks
that the feeling was reciprocated, he called on
her In the morning, sent up his card, and gave
into her own hands very costly umbrella he
had purchased in place of the old shabby one
ne had borrowed, and wound up by making
profession OF love. The young lady, without
even noticing the exchange that had been made,
perceiving how her act had been misinterpre,,
ted, naively replied: II feel it to be NV duty
to undeceive you, sir. At the time of the
shower | was anxiously expecting the arrival of
gentleman, who is, confess very dear to me-
who wished to see me in private, and my only
motive tor sending. you the umbrella was to get
you off the steps,"

quently went to Florence, where she has now
taken bolder step, and founded Masonic
Lodge tor women.
From Arcachon, France, on the Bay Of
Biscay, very singular result Of the heat is
reported, which at one moment threatened to
produce regular pestilence. The muddy
shore near that place is at low water the resort
of innumerable eels, which bury themselves in
the slime till the return of the tide. The ex-
csssive heat, by drying up the mud, had killed
them in thousands. and the smell Of their dead
bodies, washed up and down by the tide. was
beginning to spread fever in the neighborhood.
A large number of fishermen were therefore
engaged to collect them in heaps on the beach,
whence they were carried inlanl and buried.
The total amount thus disposed Of was over
400 carloads. q
