| A correspondent of the London Times,
writing from Mansourah, in the Delta
of the Nile, gives the following picture
of the small Egyptian villages and their
inhabitants: Each village saw was al
most deserted. Only few old women
remained in charge of the tiny children
not yet fit to join in the struggle for ex-
istence; all the rest-men, women, boys
and girls-were out in the fields, work
ing from sunrise to sunset to keep life
together. Other villagers told the same
story, every traveller in Egypt confirms
it, and am not going to draw any more
narrowing pictures. Quite enough has
been said to show that the agricultural
pOpulation-nine-t -tenths of the whole
people of Egypt-have benefited very
little by the superficial progress, the
material civilization for which the coun.
try is so remarkable. The historian of
Mehemet Ali said, ''The traveller
sees with astOnishment the richness of
the harvest contrasted with the wretched
state of the villages" and the introduc-.
ton of railways and canals has not
changed this unfortunate state of things.
But, as regards what have describe d,
the genial Egyptian climate must al
ways be remembered. Sunshine and
warmth for three parts of the year make
a house Oflittle importance, and, though
earnings are very small, a constant sue
cession OfcrOps creates the same demand
for labor at every season. The Dorset
shire laborer, with his slack times, and
winter rains, and climate demanding
much food and clothing, is an object of
more legitimate pity than the Egyptian
fellah. But the Egyptian fellah ought
ought not to be an object of pity at all.
Egypt is virtually aneutralized country,
and war cannot devastate it. The nat
ural wealth of its soil is such that with
a wooden plow, which, as compared to
the English plow, is as a pin is to a
spade, the land returns threefold the
produce of any land in England. The
Nile does for Egypt what art has to do
elsewhere. Yet in this country, so IA
vored by nature, the mass of the popu-
lation is in state of misery. From
sunrise to sunset, men, women and chill
dren are at work i'm the fields to gain
the barest necessaries of life. The phil
osopher who deemed him happiest who
has the fewest wants ought to have
been an Egyptian fellah. He is some
times even born i'm the fields. The wo-
men work up to the day Of their con-
finement. They lie up one day and are
out again the next. and the baby is laid
near them i'm the fields on bit of sack
ing. Ignorance and poverty lead to
other sad consequences. Premature
old age comes on at 40, and the popula-
tion is kept down by terrible infant
mortality. Out of the 140, 900 annual
deaths, $4,000 are of infant children. 1t
has been calculated that three out of
every five that are born die before the
age of two. For those that survive, an
old Egyptian custom that is still prac-
ticed is most symbolical Of their future.

falling raindrop seemed to be gilded
and to fall through sunshine, a broad
beam of light stole in through an open
window and traversing the room rested
on the cage of wickerwork, and at the
same instance dove, caught out in the
rain, showed silver wings across the
blackness of the stormy cloud.
''The dove has returned" said the
Lady Hilda, and expired. Her descen-
dants preserved her story in device of
coat of arms-a golden rain falling out
Of black cloud, a sun shining, and a
dove flying home through the storm.

What IF?

What if unwarranted conceit
Should lead me to indulge the sweet
Decisive hope of love,
Or that with bold unbidden pen,
The gentle art, bound again
TO thy fair name enwove?
What if, unchecked, my fancy leap
The charms of day, and checquer sleep
With thrilling dreams of thee?
Or that with pulse at fever point
1t pictures JOY, as if conjoint
Our lives were gliding free?
What if with rash unseemly haste
l urge my suit, nor longer waste
In doubt, the precious time,
But, confident of browning bliss,
Audaciously snatch a kiss
That is, of course, in rhyme?
What if-but ah the sudden smart
Our ways are sep'rate-laid apart
BY fate's controlling hand;
The love, which at thy shrine was fed,
With letters bound, is sadly fed
To pine i'll distant land.

Clarke County Mails.

A good deal of complaint has been
made by the people living in the north.
ern part of the county, in regard to their
mail service. 1t seems to be difficult
thing to hit upon day that will not
only please the people, but also the car
rier and at the same time get the papers
to readers as soon as possible after pub
LEGATION. On the Lewis River route the
people complain that their newspapers
are several days old when they receive
them, and that coming to hand on Mon
day, they lose the benefit of Sunday
reading, until the papers become old
and stale. Some have blamed MIR.
Shea, the mail carrier. They say that
he has already been ordered to take the
mail down on Friday, but disregards
the order. We do not know whether
this is true or not. We should be slow
to accuse him of so gross a neglect OF
duty. without good evidence.
The true solution of this whole ques-
ton is first to ascertain what regulations
will serve the interests of those whom
the mail is ordained to accommodate,
and second, to enforce just those regu-
lations, and allow no deviation there
from. Now if the mail could be taken
from Vancouver every Friday morning
after the arrival of the Portland boat,
and the distribution of the mail which
it brings, we believe it would accommo
date all concerned. If necessary, we
could change the day Of publication of
the INDEPENDENT, from Saturday TO
Friday. 1t is desirable that some
change be made, so as to better accom-
MEDIATE the country people. They have
to depend altogether upon weekly
mail, which, though better than 10 SER
vice, is a slim dependence.
LATER.-Since the above was placed
in type, we understand that MIR. Shea
has made an arrangement whereby the
mails will be carried on Saturday us Of
old.

The Conventions.

The conventions are now over, and
the matter of choice of officers who
are to serve the people another two
years, is submitted to the people to be
determined at the election in November.
Most of the nominees on both tickets
are very good men. Voters willno be
apt to make mistake in the final selec-
ton. 1t is worthy of remark, in this
connection, that the Democratic Con
vcntion put five candidates on their
ticket, four of whom are out and out
Republicans, and the fifth Republican
in principle, though somewhat luke
warm in practice. We are glad to
know that the Democratic party in
Clarke County, has so good an opinion
of its opponents. The prospect for an
amicable local campaign is encouraging.

be most acceptable to the people in

select some candidate living in the
eastern end of the county, and then
we are sure of success. Thanking

nomination confers, heartily sub
