A correspondent writing from Con-
stantinople under date Of July 81, states
that there is a probability OF a war be-
tween Egypt and Turkey, and that the
personal relations OF the Khedive OF
Egypt and the Sultan OF Turkey are far
from being friendly. Some time ago
revolt occurred at Ternin, a village in
Arabia near the Red Sea terminus OF
the Suez Canal, and to suppress it ~
600 troops were dispatched there with
orders.
The Sultan's troops remain at Yer
man, and the Viceroy Of Egypt, dread
ing the hazards of war, seems unwilling
to take the steps which may indicate
his willingness to accept the gauntlet
thus thrown dowI by Turkey. The
surmise is, that Turkey, desiring to re-
sist the encroachments of Russia in the
east, wishes to offer a surprise to Ger
many, by free transit throught Egypt,
which war might be likyly to secure, in
return for aid that Germany might
give Turkey in the Indies.

authorities by keeping themselves and
,bo;r novels cleaner, it will contribute
much toward wardiDg off the cholera
and making it less difficult to manage
il if it should come. We are not dis.
posed to flout the idea that it may not
Cross the ocean and attack us before
the frost sets in. There are places IN
