There have been two expeditions, the first
OF which was dispatched in October, 1875,
consisting of ten thousand men. 1t was
surprised in defle of Goundel, and mas.
sacred to the last man. The second ex.
petition of six thousand men started in
January last. 1t met the Abyssinians in
February, in a defile of Geura, and was
overwhelmed, four thousand men being
killed. The Abyssinian King then went
into the interior, and, according to the
latest reports, has repeated what he did in
the defles OF Goundel and Goura, by again
crushing the army of the Egyptians. De-
tails Of this, as well as other expeditions,
are guarded with great secrecy.

In the Tunbridpe cOrrespondence 4,

In the Tunbridge correspondence of
an English journal, dated August II,
1776, an amusing incident is related.
The writer speaks of the ladies at ball
being thrown into the utmost consterna.
ton by very violent thunder storm !;
and one gentleman entreated his part
ner, for the love of God-and him-to
pull the black pins out of her hair for fear
they sould attract the lightning to blast
her brilliant eyes. The lady alarmed at
the exhortation, instantly set about it.,
and with a violent scream, cried out,
Ladies, pull out your black pinsp The
effect Of this word of command was as
tonishing, and the maneuver conse-
quently beyond any executed by the
most dexetrous Prussian regiment of
infantry, for in less than minute ten
thousand black spears were grounded on
the floor, together with cushions, wool of
divers colors and assortments, fore.curls
and hind.curls in abundance-in short,
what with the disheveled locks and
piercing shrieks of young virgins, and
the long faces of bald dOwagers, there
never was SO frantic an exit from an
assembly-room exhibited before in either
of the three Kingdoms"

The CHICAGO LEDGER is said to have
spent $50, 900 in advertising the past two
years, and by the looks of the newspapers
throughout the United States, we should
say it would take as much to 20 round
this year. And to cap the climax the
proprietors have announced their paper
at $l.O0 year. How it is done is a
mystery, unless they have more than "a
barrel of money" to give away. We be-
lieve, however, it is the theory of the
publishers that all they ask of the reader
is to pay for the white paper and post
age; for their labor, when the paper
reaches 100, 900 or more circulation, their
advertising will pay the profit. While
they are building up the paper they do
not solicit advertising, and hence the
readers get great paper for $1.O0 that is
worth $500. As the publishers have the
money, no doubt they will succeed. Ad-
dress The LEDGER, Chicago, ILL.,, inclos-
ing $l.00 for subscription and Is cents

The guests in a Turkish restaurant
squat around mat. The host brings in
a whole sheep and tears it open with his
hands, and each takes out portion of
the rice with which it is stuffed, and
kneads it into large sized "pill" by
which process it becomes brown and
dirty, after which it is eaten with true
Turkish gusto. The fingers are wiped
on maize bread cakes, which are also
eaten. 1t is quite evident that they are

"AwFUL GARDINER" was once a
we'll known pugilist and sporting char
acter in New York. On one occasion he
went to Newark with "select party "
to give a sparring exhibition. The negro
who had charge of the hall where the
show was to take place was of gigantic
stature, and one of the party wagered a
bottle Of wine that "Awful Gardner "
could not knock the negro down with his
fist. They all waited in the hall for the
coming of the sable janitor with lights.
He approached with candle shaded in
his hand, and, as he came within arms
reach, the Awful" measured him, and
struck square from the shoulder. The
negro hardly winked. He simply turned
his head round towards the pugilist, and
said, "Gemmen, please be a little car'ful
OBJ yer elbows"

Practical Suggestions.

THERE is a great deal of attention
given TO what one shall eat during this
season of the year, and most generally
the green stuff from the gardens is looked
upon with fear. Even fruit is avoided
in many cases; water must be taken in
very limited quantities, etc. The truth
is that for persons in normal conditions
vegetables we'll cooked and ripe fruits
are the best food in this world, and pure
cold water is the best of drinks for warm
weather or any other kind Of weather.
Eat and drink moderately at proper sea-
sons and without fear, is a good motto
for all to follow.
THE custom of bathing in sluggish
streams after the days work is done is a
most perniciOus one, and often lays foun-
dation for incurable diseases. Often
boys are tempted to remain too long in
the water, and even in warm weather
come out thoroughly chilled; even then
if good crash towel were employed in
stirring up the circulation upon the sur
face, much danger would be avoided /;
but more often the case is that no drying
is done at all, except the absorption by
the clothing. The malarious atmosphere
along the low lands breathed by persons
exhausted and weakened by the hard
work of the day is very hurtful indeed,
particularly in places where fever and
ague is abundant. The only fit place to
battle is in the house with tub of water
from which the chill has been taken, and
one can develop q ruddy surface by fric-
ton Immediately after the bath.

about an hour. making brilliant and

dangers that now threaten the body
polite to the desire to enlarge the
functions of the Federal sort at the
expense of the several States. He
called for no Interference in the affairs

words for n nest coin money; complI-

from Delawsre, made the principal
speech at the recent banquet, give. al
the Girard House, Philadelphia, on
the Sth inst to celebrate the Anniver-
sary Of the Batti5 of New Orleans, by
the Ola Hickory Club. Like every
thing which comes from that 1istin-
guished gentleman, the speech was
characterized by great ability and wise
craftsmanship. Indeed, Mr.. Bayard
is taking position at the very head and
front of American statesmen.
At this time there is no man in
American politics who occupies a more
conspicuous position or whose utter
ances are more widely read or more
opinions, practical and safe III his
financial views, but uncompromising
in his love for and in lis defenca of tie
Constitution of our fathers, he loses
no opportunity of showing his affection,
or in measuring lancea with those who
attack or wish to destroy it.
Mr.. Bayard has made record il the
United States Senate which endoars
him to every man III the Union who
owes free government, and desires II
see the Union AS founded and handed
down to us by our revolutionary
sires, perpetuated. The country will
not neglect one who has shown himself
every way worthy of the most impor-
tant trusts and its highest hOnors.
