We in the United States, especially
those of us who live in the West, are
apt to think that cities in other parts of
the world are standing still, or retrogra-
ding, while ours are going ahead with
such wonderful strides. Such, however,
is not the case by any manner OF means.
Alexandria, in benighted Egypt, which
had only GO, 600 inhabitants in 1912, now
rcjoices in q population of 800, 900. 1t
claims to be the most cosmopolitan city
on the globe, and one can hear every
language used by civilized people spoken
in its streets. An idea of the enterprise
of the city may be formed from the
breakwater that is being built to form an
artificial harbor. 1t will be mile in
length, and will inclose a harbor with an
area of 1900 acres, the depth of which
will be nowhere less than thirty feet.
Over two thousand men and forty steam
engines are engaged in blasting rock for
this great undertaking, which is being
superintended by some of the best en-.
gineers in the world. It is computed
that not less than 10000 blocks, the
smallest Of which weighs twenty tons,
will be required to build the wall tina.
projects above water. Below this the
wall will be made of smaller stones and
concrete. IN 1871 the exports from
this port amountedt to 300, 600, 900, and the
imports to Ia, ,0O0, 600 francs.

Government" therefore, is so weak In
resources that it il compelled to subsist

sustain itself, being in theimajority.
Precisely SO. Hdoes sustain itself, even
in locality where; it is not claimed to
be in majority, thoughthe government
of New York city had to be protected
from a Democratic mob in 1858 by a
United States army under command OF
Gen. Butler. Wenever heard it doubter
that Horatio Seymour was the lawfld
Governor of New York because Mr..
Lincoln found it necessary to send troops
to keep his "friends from burning the
orphan asylums and hanging young
negroes to lamp-posts. And q city that
is never sure of passing over the ami
versary of the "Battle of Boyne Water"
without dreadful riot has little right to
throw our little fracas so unpleasantly in
Our faces. a4 al ee -
The government, recognized as such
by the President in this State, is the
representative Of large majority Of the,
people of this State, and is amply able
to protect itself. So that our political
and commercial enemies of New York,
Chicago, Cincinnati, and st. Louis may
as well give up their attempts to injure
us by more lying about MS.

The Tribune,s Latest slander Of Colfax.

A person writes letter to the New
York Tribune recalling the fact that Mr..
Collar certified to the potency Of cundu-
range in the cure of cancer, the same
having been administered to a relative,
to whose apparent improvement he bore
testimony in letter to the proprietors
Of the medicine. The patient subse-
quently died, and this, correspondent
coniectures that Mr.. Colfax's certifica-
ton was false, and hints that he was
paid for it by the firm in question. We
do not remember to have seen anything
of the sort baser than this letter or the
surmises and conjectures which it en-
bodies. We do not approve of Mr..
Colfax at all, but let him answer his as
certained sins and not have his presum-
ably innocent actions distorted into
crimes. 1t was natural that, with arela-
tive afflicted with a malady which the
doctors confessedly couldn't cure, Mr..
Colfax should seize on any remedy which
promised relief. Everybody knows how
sanguine not only patients but the kin
dred of patients are, and with what
ardor slight improvement OF symptoms
is translated into cure. Mr.. Colfax
seems to have thought that his relative
derived great benefit from the remedy,
and he wrote q letter of thanks. and
gratitude to its proprietors. This was
all. The correspondent whose letter we
have noticed is, we are grieved to say, a
fool. 1t was easy to assail Colfax on
perfectly tenable grounds. But he has
chosen a point of assault which only
discloses his own baseness. 1t is true
that the remedy SO loudly bepuffed is
now pronounced by all competent physi-
clans inert and Of no value; it is also
true that Mr.. Colfax was altogether pre-
cipitate and unwise in his diagnosis.
But it is fair to assume that he was ami
mated throughout by the most affee-
tionate and honorable sentiments, and
not. as the correspondent suggests, seek
ing to make merchandise OF his recon-
mendation and, turning his mother-in-
laws infrmity into a source of gain,

Government of Louisiana. We quote
The "McEnery Government, So

half dozen renegade Republicans who

TEN MINUTES IN Il LIFE,

In the year 1065 of the Hegira-cor-
responding to 1857 of the Christian era
-on the second day of the feast of
Beiram, a large group of Mussulmans
were assembled in circle before the
Mosque of st. Sophia. Some were
standing, and others sitting cross-legged
on carpets spread upon the sand The
group increased as the Moslems issued
from the mosque, and as passers-by,
prompted by curiosity, remained to see
what was going on TFzr5~
In the midst of crowd of smokers,
young man of remarkably handsome
features, though somewhat bronzed by
IN Asiatic sun, was seated before a small
table, which was covered with swords
and brass balls. He was dressed in a
close jacket of green silk. admirably
fitted to set off his Light and graceful
figure; sgirdle of antelope skin, on
which some mysterious characters were
Inscribed in silver, confined pair of
loose trowsers which were drawn close at
the ankle. This light and attractive
dress was completed by Phrygian cap,
from the top of which hung a small
musical bell. By this costume, at once
graceful and fantastic, it was easy to
recognize one of those iugglers whom
the feast of Boiram drew, every year to
Ssamboul, and to whom was usually
given the name of Zingaro. a So
The juggler performed his exploits
without appearing to notice the admira-
ton he excited. He took a pigeons egg
f1om small moss basket, and, placing
itupright on the table, struck it with
the edge of his sword without iniuring
the shell. An incredulous bystander
took the egg to examine it, but the slight
Pressure of his fingers served to destroy
the frail object that had resisted the
blow Of the cimeter.
This act Of dexterity was followed by
many Others. The boldness of the
Young man terrified the usually impas-
sive Turks and. what was yet more
surprising, he made them smile by the
amusing stories he related Persons of
his profession were generally silent, and
their only power of amusement lay in
their fingers ends; but this man pos
sessed the varied qualities of an Indian
luggler and an Arabian story-tcller.
one OF the most enthusiastic admirers
OF the performance was a man appar-
entity about forty years old, whose car
pet was placed in the first circle, and
whose dress denoted him TO be of supe-
nor rank. II was the Bostangi- Bassa,
superintendent of the gardens and
keeper of the privy purse to the Grand
'Signior. The tricks, ended, the Young
man completed his story, and gathered
mp his implements as if to depart ~
"Stop," said the Bostangi- -Bas.a.
Since yon are such magician, will
you tell me the Sultan'sfavorite flower ?"
"The poppy of Aleppo lit is red, /"
replied the juggler, without moments
hesitation.
.--" At-what time does the Sultan sleep?a
resumed the Bostangi. .,s.
Never r said the juggIer.
The Bassa started and looked anx-
iossly around him, fearing lest other
ess bad heard this answer. Then,
oeckoning the iuggler to approach, and,
covering his voice, he asked:
Can You name the Sultan's favorite
vife?o
Assarach," replied the diviner.
fhe Bostangi put his fingers on his
nps IN silence, and, moving away, said

LOOKING over the last received Price
Current of breadstuff, we find that
American -four was selling on the 1st Of
March, at the Corn Exchange in Lon
don, at from 26 TO 20 shillings barrel,
and q higher quality, marked "extra
and double, at 81 to 81 shilhngs. That
is an average of IS for seconds" and
under 81 per barrel for "extra and
double. /" THESE prices are in gold to
which must be added Is per cent to re-
duce into our currency. The same
qualities of American flour sell in Phila-
delphia, where they are manufactured,
respectively for $40 and sl3 currency.
The British dealer, who has to pay
freight and insurance in addition to cost.
doubtless makes o living profit, yet sells
American -four very considerably under
American prices. II would almost pay
to import American -four from England.

AIR GUNs.-The most perfect air guns
in the world are probably those which
are made in London for the use of En-
glish poachers. As they make no smoke,
and consequently no smell, they are not
so easily detected as firearms when used
in game preserves. > 1t is a mistake, how
ever, to suppose that they make no noise.
When charged, so as to produce the
effects above described, the report is
quite sharp-full, as sharp as that pro-
duced by gunpowder. When lightly
charged, the report is of course dimin-
ished but the force with which the bull
let is projected is also prpportionally les
sened, and so is the recoil. As weapon
for secret assassination, therefore, the
ain gun does not have much advantage
over good rifle cane fortunately for the
world, perhaps. The only advantages
possessed by the air gun are its perfect
cleanliness and the fact that the parts
are not liable to be .corroded and rusted.
1t never requires cleaning but the labor
of changing the condenser may be fairly
offset against the labor involved in clean
ing ordinary fire arms after they have
been used. tFi' p, 81 ''
