Logging on the Nile.

Charles ID. Warner writes in Passing the Cataract of the Nile :e As we watch, almost breathless, the strain on the ropes, look! there is man in the tu- .nultuous rapid before us swiftlycoming down as if to his destruction. Another one follows and. then another, till there are half a dozen, fAen and boys in this jeopardy-this situation of certain death to anybody not made of cork. And the singular thing about it is that the men are seated upright, sliding down the shining water like boy, who has no re- spect for his trousers, down a sand bank. As they dash past us, we see, that each is seated on a round log about five feet long some of them sit upright with their legs on the log, displaying the soles of thoir feet, keeping the equihb- rum with their hands. VI These are smooth, slimy logs, that q white man would find it difficult to sit on if they were on shore, and in this water they would turn with him only once; the log would go one way and the man another. But these fellows are in. no fear of the rocks below; they easily guide their barks out of the rushing floods, through the whirlpools and the eddies, into the slack shore water in the rear of the boat, and stand up like men and demand back sheesh. These logs are popular ferry boats on the upper Nile. I have seen woman crossing the river on one, her clothes ill basket, and the basket on her head and the Nile is nowhere an easy stream to swim. ,HEE5E'z

Incidents of the French Floods.

The disaster caused by the inunda- tions in France, says correspondent, are still the most important items ill our daily budgets of news, and there seems to be sort of fascination in these dread full details. ~ Let me give an example of them A baby in g wooden cradle was found floating down the eGaronne.S the little creature being fast asleep and per fectly dry. There was nothing to indi
 cate whence it came, and if the parents have been drowned, as is supposed, the identity of this little waif may never be established. At Toulouse, laboring man, with his wife and baby, five months old, were upon the roof of their house waiting for help, when friend came floating down the current, and managed to climb up beside. them. He was good swimmer, and had thus kept himself above water. But in Q short time the house began to crunble, and suddenly fell. The workman swan about for, moment in search of the rest, but could not find them in the dark, and came to the sad conclusion that they had been crushed by the falling stones. He managed to save himself, but behev- ed the others lost. In the morning he met his friend, who told him that he had saved his baby. and had left it ,at the hospice during the night. The wife was drowned. The poor man ran to the hos pice to ask for his child. Immediately on receiving the little creatures, some fifty or sixty in number, they had been stripped of their wet clothes, and the clothing of all had been sent to be wash ed and dried. No one thought of mark
 ing the clothing for the purpose of iden- tifcation. The father found that all the babies of five months looked so nearly alike that he could not pick out his own, and every day since he has spent hours in, the hospice trying to find which of the children saved belongs to him. At one moment he, believes that instinct has guided him to the right baby; the.next he picks out another and then another, until himself confused. A mother would doubtless recognize her baby by many marks familiar to her, but it is not so easy for the father, who knows less of his child,s body than of the clothes it wears. Very many stories of this kind are told, and some of them are very touching. .1:..a -..., ...s..-. ... .

The Grain Prospect.

Within the last few weeks the price of grain in the Liverpool market has con- siderably advanced, and prices on this side naturally followed the upward movement. There is every prospect that the rise will continue for some time at least until our Western crops shall have reached the foreign consumers. The cause for the advance at this season is an unusual one, and must be ascribed to the meager harvests in the old world. Hungary and southern Russia are, next to the United States, the granaries of western Europe, and if there be any delay in grain shipments from America, in England, France and Germany. That has been made impossible this year. We have reports that all through the Hungarian and Russian grain districts the drought has been extraordinary, not h drop of rain having fallen from May 21 to June 23. The fields looked dried up and parched, and the crops will be less than half of an average. Besides, when the sluice gates of heaven did open they poured out such torrents that what the dry heat had left was partially de- stroyed by the floods. The damage done to the gran fields in. France and England was also immense, and now all the people in Europe look with longing eyes to this country, where, fortunately, we are having a most bountiful harvest, in addition to- the immense stock of grain held over mostly by the farmers from last year, on account of the low prices then ruling. The. consequence will be a largely ySinoreassd export de- mand at remunerating rates, and a more fiourishing sbnsiness in every aavenuo of trade.

Rivalry in Sport.

To be worth much, exercise should be vitalized by the spirit of sport. There is not much fun in gymnastics propelled by duty. Pride of strength will do something, vanity will do, something, but to try to create real enthusiasm for dumb-bells or Indian clubs in the soul of man who has any genius at all for inertia is as hopeless as soaring after the illinlitable or diving after the unfathom- able. Almost all genuine funlhas it's root in Friendly rivalry. E FfIk5
 Competition is the highest inspiration of sport. So 1t happens that the exer- else which it is best worth while to culti- vate is that which has strong social backing, is. enjoyed in company, and has for its chief inspiration the prize of victory. And so it happens that boating, l., ting, boxing, wrestling, shooting, CIT ting, and similar trials of personal skill d strength in emulation furnish just that sort of sport which at once pro- notes health and proves pleasantly con tagious. , .as ts, .ug .d
 It is worthy of notice, too, that rife shooting attains it's highest points of en- thusiasm, not in the wanton slaughter of the tenants of forest and jungle, but in front of wooden target, where there is no food for the hunters zest.,. Creed moor, Dollymount, and Wimbledon are the centers of Q pleasant rivalry that is certainly not surpassed among those who kill buffalo and leave them to rot upon American prairies. or who slay the ele phant and other huge pachyderms for sport along the Asian rivers.
 Competitive exercise, moreover, com pels good habits, and good habits induce good health. The intense emulation of colleges may, indeed, produce excessive ardor and an amount of prolonged exer- tion in training that will deform Or other wise injure the person for life, and this peril ought to be averted by inhexible college rules. But there can be no doubt that moderate and temperate exer- else, by vitalizing the blood and harmoni- zing all the functions, increases the capa- biity of the mind as much as it does the fexibility of the body. The question to be settled is how to get the enthusiasm for orphysical culture into the average brain and heart. It is fine thing for few athletes to contend for victory on the water or on the ball ground, but the crowds who look on and applaud the skill of the competitors and reward the victors with shouts of admiration get no benefit from the exercise. There is no vicarious way of distributing the vigor and vitality these exciting games impart, How to awaken such real enthusiasm for physical culture as shall lead people generally to. take an interest in and get the exercise they need is the point to be settled. And perhaps the, answer is given in the rivalry that leads to such splendid feats with bat and club and rifle and spear. If we could have little more wholesome rivalry in walking and rowing, in the gymnasium and at the health-lift we should see the result in stouter muscle and firmer step and | greater tenaeity of life. >''A

 First--No evidence was produced to show that | had been seen with Katie Duran on the 18th or any other day of March, or any other month. Second--No evidence was given of blood being on my clothes. "A
 Third-They produced not particle of evidence of bleod being found in that cellar. SgFrt4ryese ,XY.#
 Fourth-Isn't it little singular that there was. no evidence of bad smell being in the cellar, except, as noticed by the family l1p stairs2 If that body was of July, why didn't some one notice the smell, as the Margerson family say there was Is it not strange that they should be the only ones to notice ita How do the jury explain the fact of it's being there four months, and remaining un- noticed by Mitchell's folks and our folks; also the fact of men working there nine days and not noticing any smell :? They didn't explain it nor can they now. ~-S f''i
 Fifth-The evidence against bad smell there is almost overwhelming. Sixth-There was no testimony put in to show any strange conduct on my part. Do you suppose that, if I killed that girl, I could do it, and then go about without anything looking strange about mo?
 sl But enough of what is not proved. Let us see what evidence. there is against me. Strip the case of all its glitter, and we find the. evidence to consist only oi the finding of the body in the cellar mol a particle of testimony as to my being seen with the girl or the girl being seer at the store no unusual noise at the time she was killed. All this, and much more, failed to, be produced, and say the only evidence was the finding the body in the cellar, But what is that tc prove 2 Certainly not the fact that she was killed there by me or killed any where; by me; nor that any one connect ed with the house killed her. But il does prove that somebody killed her I do not take into account my comics sion, for the facts have got to be proved independent of the confession, whereaI | it was not so, and that is one of the reasons why I say that they were infu eneed by prejudiced proof.
