An immense buzzard was seen early
this morning soaring over the city. The
bird was no doubt watching the new
anti Conservative party, and was on the
lookout for the secret meetings of the
getters-up Of the wonderful ticket which
will break out upon the vision of the
astonished world in day or two. 1t
may be that the buzzard was an accred-
tied delegate to the meeting.
Our old friend, Colonel Brown, who
swindled several of our rural visitors by
inviting them to purchase tickets in the
Exposition lottery and then conducted
them to Main and Jefferson street gaming
houses, was pulled" by detective 81

hack driver, but Of late has been a
"capper" and roper" for gaming estab-

festive Colonel walk 1.-The plank by

Egyptian VictOrfes-The Slave
Trade Crippled.

London Times Alexandria Letter. Sept. 81
News has been received of great vic
tory won by the Egyptian troops over an
invading force Of Dariourians. For
some time past the Darfourians have ex-
cited the Bedouin tribes of that district
against the Egyptians, and have sup
piled arms to the disaffected. At length
they determined to invade Kordofan in
force. The army, amounting to 10000
wellarmed men, and commanded by Els
Sultan Aabouna, was encountered on
June II, near place called Kalaka, on
the frontier OF Kordofan, by force of
1000 Egyptians armed with Remington
rifles. After severe engagement of
two hours the army Of Darfour was de-
feated, with a very heavy loss in killed
and prisoners. Their commander was
among the slain, and his son was cap
tured. Almost Immediately after this,
the Sultan of Darfour made fresh at
tack on the Egyptian frontier with an
army according to the dispateh), am
ounting to $4,000 men, many of them
wellarmed cavalry. The second battle
was fought on July 2, and lasted one

were utterly defeated and vigorously
followed up till night stopped the pur-
suit The loss of the Darfourians is
stated at 1900 slain and 400 prisoners;
500 muskets, seven rihed cannon, and a
large number of horses were captured
The Egyptians lost eighteen killed and
had sixteen wounded. Strongr re enforce
ments have been sent from Cairo. and il
is nearly certain that after this invasion
the Khedive will occupy Darfour and
annax it to his dominions. One main
source to the slave trade will thus be cut
off, for Darfeur being close to Wadai,
which is one great slave preserve, its
people are the greatest slave dealers in
Central Africa, many of their caravans
even making their way across the Sahara,
through Fezzan to Tripoi, Bengazi, and
the ports on the Mediterranean, aud so
via Malta, it is said, or along the African
coast to the different slave markets.

BOIL 1T DOWN.

Whatever you have to say, my friend,
Whether witty, or grave or gay,
Condense 1t us much MS ever you can,
And say il in the readiest way.
And whether you write of household affairs
Or particular things in town,
Just take word of friendly advice
Boil ii Down.
For If you go spluttering over a page,
When couple Of lines will do,
Your butter is spread so much, you see,
That the bread looks plainly through;
So when You have story to tell
And would like little renown,
To make quite sure Of your wish, my friend,
Boil it Down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To utter your thoughts in the (ewest words,
And let them be crisp and dry;
And when it is finished and you suppose
II is done exactly brown,
Just look it over again, and then
Boil il Down.
For editors do not like to print
An article really long,
And the busy reader does not care
For couple OF yards of song;
So gather your wits in the smallest space,
If you'd win the authors crown,
And every time you write my friend,
Boil il Down.

One IDEA or PoyERrY 1T was Bull
wer who said in .ninc cases out Of ten
poverty was only an idea. Some men
with ten thousand dollars year suffer
more for the want Of means than others
with three hundred. The reason is, the
rich ,aan has artificial wants. His in
come is ten thousand a year, and he suf-
fers enough from being dunned for unpaid
debts to kill a sensitive man. A man
who earns dollar day, and who does
not run in debt is the happier Of the
ts,. Very few people who have never
been rich will believe this, but it is true
There are thousands and thousands with
priccly incomes who never know a mo-
menfs peace, because they live beyond
their means There is really more hap
pincss in the world among working peo-
pie than among those who are called rich
always providing that poor folks do
not in smaller way emulate the prodi-
gality Of their rich brethren. Poverty
is simply the question of the good or bad
