The Richest Man in the World.

The Khedive Of Egypt is probably the
richest man in the world. His yearly in
come is $4,000, 900, and he has twenty
five richly furnished palaces within the
walls Of Cairo. He is vastly more pro-
gressive than the Sultan, his Turkish mas
ter; is rapidly extending his dominions,
building railroads, and making commercial
Improvements, and will ultimately become
independent Of Turkish domination.
He is at present making arrangements
for the connection of railroad up the
Nile to Dongola, and thence across the
desert TO Loudan, which country he viii
make one Of his own provinces. II has
been remarked of him that "thc Viceroy,
upon any throne in Europe would be the
greatest monarch of the age He is not
only prince, but merchant, capitalist,
statesman and a cultiyator. He sleeps
only four hours out Of twenty-four, and at
his desk centre is railroads, steamship lines,
telegraphs, postal service, private estates,
sugar mills, cotton culture, army, navy
and civil service

Prices Extraordinary.

A sale has lately taken place in Scotland
Of the greater portion of the celebrated
herd of shorthorned cattle belonging to the
Earl of Dunmore, and the prices given
were such as could hardly fail to satisfy
the most exacting seller Bright Eyes"
sold to Mr. Brassey, son of the great con
tractor for $1,000; another to the same
gentleman for 81 $50; aSiddington,n to
Lord Bectiye for $500; another to the
same, s4,050, "Marchioness of Oxford, y
s5,050, "0xford Duchess, 81 500; another
for $4,000 The forty-eight heifers sold
fetched $500 The lowest sum brought
for heifer was s225, and the highest ST.
500. The sale comprised the entire herd
at Dunmore, save few importations from
this country and few favorite old cows
retained as the nucleus Of future herd.
At this rate cattle farming ought to pay,
one would think. the enormous high
average is more remarkable than the prices
given for single animals. Lord Dunmore,
who is young man, passed some time in
Canada few years ago, when in the
Guards. He is married to the daughter
of the greatest nobleman farmer in Eng
land-Lord Leicester, son of "Coke Of
Norfolk

Mexican Outrages.

The Commissioners to investigate the
Mexican outrages on the Rio Grande have
completed their report They confined their
investigations to distance Of 500 miles,
from the mouth of the Rio Grande to Rio
Grande city, and estimate that the Amer
leans within that limit have suffered in
property alone to the extent of s30,000,-
900.
The Mexican Border Commissioners
have issued notice inviting all Mexicans
who have suffered from incursions of any
kind from residents Of the United States,
since February 2, ls4s, to present claims
for damages They also invite the pre-
sentation Of similar claims from persons
residing or owning property in the Uni-
ted States who have suffered from Mexi-
cans This win make the investigation
extend to all ''filibusteringH since the close
Of the Mexican War.

Presidential votes.


President Washington was elected Ia
17g9 and again in 1898 without an OPP
posing vote. John Adams had only one
majority in 1881 In 1901 jefferson and
Burr received an equal vote, and the House

neys H. In 1909 Madison got l22 out
of 175 electors, and in 1913 he received
l28 to De Witt Clinton's 80. At the
eighth Presidential election Monroe re-
ceived 1873 out of 217 electoral votes, and
in 1921 was reelected by 227 to |. In
1924, the election Of President devolying
upon the House Of Representatives, John
Quincy Adams was, through the influence
of Henry Clay, chosen for the position.
In 1928 Andrew jackson received 178
electoral voters to John Q. Adams 80, and
he was reelected in 1882 by 2l9 votes
against 67 scattered between Clay, Floyd,

There are political crises all around the
compass in Continental Europe. France
continues to be agitated by the dispute be-
tween President Thiers and large portion
Of the National Assembly. So threatening
has this dispute become that the threatened
resignation of the President may become
an accomplished fact at any moment. That
il is expected, is visible in the movements
Of the various parties who are looking
around for available candidates to succeed
President Thiers Some Of them appear
to be talking of Dictator but any
change Of rulers in France at this time can
hardly fail to be followed by wide spread
political CONFUSION, and perhaps BY insur-
rectionary violence. The German Impe-
rial government seems 10 be apprehensive
of this, and is making precautionary move
ments of troops in the army of "occupa-
tion" in France in view of it. But the
Germans have their troubles also. The
radical change in the Prussian constitu-
ton, involved in the Country Reform
Bill, is keeping the mind Of the Prussian
King aud his great Chancellor, Bismarck
in as lively state Of exercise as that into
which the House of Peers in that country
has been thrown. In the German crisis,
however, the Government has the advan-
tage Of being at the head of a liberal move
ment favored by the populace.
Further south on the Continent, two
other countries are in state of political
perturbation The people of Spain, who
were extrieated from the turmoil of revo-
luton aud brought to a condition of COM
parative quiet by the election of the young
Italian, Amadeus, as King, have some
ground for apprehension that Amadeus
may not live very long, and that they may
be thrown by his death, if it should occur,
back into the condition of political chaos
which preceded his election. Passing to
the new capital of Italy, we find condi-
ton of excited political feeling there also
We read in the late dispatches of the hold
ing of radical meetings" in Rome of the
arrest of some of the participants in those
meetings upon charges Of high treason
and of disturbance" which followed thii
action, of the Government authorities
These events were accompanied by move
ments in the Chamber Of Deputies for i
resolution of eensure against the Govern
ment for causing needless and offensive
display of military force in the Capital
all of which events look as If affairs in Ita
ly are not quite as smooth as they ough
TO be.
1t may be that these occurrences assum,
a far more formidable shape at distance
than they do nearer home, but taking then
as they appear upon the face, they look al
if Continental Europe is not enjoying tina
tranquility which we would all like to see

WINTER.

Through opening riffs, in the southwark sky,
Thesun looks down on the yerdureless earth
Where, withered and strown the forest leaves lie
Cold on the bosom that gave them birth.
But 10, how changed Through all the still night
And soft as the gossamer's fairy tread,
A mantle Of snow of the purest white,
Has come down-a shroud for the old veal
dead.
Sad and sorrowiul the north winds blow
Athwart the pines on the brow of the hill,
And over the fields of drifting snow,
Down where the stream runs dark and chill
The rich make merry in the lighted hail,
BY the genial hearth and the ample board
They heed not the Winters blast at all.
For their fuels heaped, and their garner
stored.
Pity the lot Of the helpless poor,
With children many and scanty fare;
To them the wolf howls at the door,
The cold looks in with icy glare
o Winter, rude and rigorous thou
To many thou bringest days of grief
But God, remembering aye his VOW,
The summer glad, shall bring relief.

LOCK AT Your CARDs.-A Des Moines
druggist sent his clerk out to drum for
sales of OIL He carried the card of the
proprietor and the picture of his girl in
his side-pocket. He called upon a trades
man at Newton, and tossed card upon
the counter, saying that he represented
that establishment. The tradesman picked
it up, gave it steady look, and said it
was fine establishment, and was informed
by the clerk that he had represented it
about two years, whereupon he remarked
to the youth that he supposed he would
soon be partner. The youth said he
would be pleased to sell him some coal oil
and that his establishment handled NOR,
than any other in Des Moines. The
tradesman took another look at the card
and asked the boy if he wasn't mistaken
He hlushingly guessed he was, as he re
turned his girls picture to his pocket.
