A FEAT.
4 Majority yo,, n,II TaIkca to Death.

from the st Louis Republican,
| One of the most remarkable instances
| Of speaking against time is said to have
taken place In The Legislature of British
! Columbia. A measure was pending, the
passage Of which would rob good
many settlers of their lands and homes.

and was job which a strong majority
felt that 1t had the power to do. There
appeared to be no doubt about that
The confscation could not fail II the
question came to vote. The adjourn
mept of the Legislature was TO take
place at IL o'clock on a certain day. At
10 o'clock on the day previous De
Cosmos got the floor. He was opposed
to the measure and In hopeless minor
ity. De Cosmos was not n long -winded
orator, and the friends of the
bill did not fear him. They smiled, they
laughed when the spirit Of the effort he
was making burst upon them. 1T was
lust ridiculous, but DE Cosmos went on
with his speech, beyond all anticipa-
tion It was a scattering fusilade but
IL killed time, and might fill the limita-
tion with its rattle. The land job
bers became somewhat alarmed, and
tried to applaud, howl, and cough De
Cosmos down. On he went through the
breeze Of dcrision, and then the storm

journmcnt. Interruptions only aided
him by giving him breathing spells.
The only way was to let him wear him
self out, or knock him down and drag
him out. The opinion prevailed that
nature would succumb, and the house
settled down into comparative quiet to
watch the combat between strength OF
will and weakness Of body. They showed
him no mercy. They permitted no ad
iournment for dinner, or supper, or
sleep, or breakfast the next morning.
De Cosmos talked the day and the night
away. The members had gone out In
squads to eat and come back to sleep.
Still De Cosmos kept his feet, and took
no refreshment except an occasional sip
Of water. Towards IL o'clock the house
began to be wide awake again. The
voice Of the speaker had sunk to o husky
whisper, but ne kept his feet. His eyes
were bloodshot and his parched lips
were smeared with blood, but his will
bore him up. At last noon came to a
baffied majority livid with rage and i'm
potenee, and De Cosmos had killed the
bill when he sank in his seat. He had
spoken 26 hours. and saved the settlers
their lands and homes. This was the
longest continuous speech ever made,
and one Of the best in its results.

Reausites in q Good Wife.

One evening lately, says a correspond
ent, in our family circle, the conversa-
tion turned on female character, and
the various elements of its composition.
The subject narrowed by degrees, till
the question came to be, what we're the
main requisites in good wifeS There
being considerable diversity of opinion,
and room for endless argument, it was
agreed that ca h should write on slip
of paper certain qualifications, in the
order deemed most important. The
number of points was to b. limited in
each list to seven, and those which were
found in greatest number in all the lists
were to be regarded as the decision Of
the company. When the papers came
to be examined, there was great variety
in the elements noted, and still greater
in the order, as might be expected from
the different ages and characters of the
voters. BY very decided majority the
following points, in the order given, APP
peared as the seven elements of the
best wife: 1-Piety. 2-Sense. g.
Temper. 4-Education. 5-Manners.
6-Beauty. Riches.

Egypt at the Centennial.

For 10 here is Egypt. The Egypt
of Rameses, the Egypt of Pharaoh, of
Cleopatra, of Arabic art, of the Suez
canal. Fragments of the most ancient
monuments along the Nile are here, and
copies of sculptured antiques gathered
from ruins supposed to ante date the
pyramids. Three lamps from the
mosque of Cairo hang in case-three
crystal lamps enameled with gold, the
art of making which perished eight
hundred years ago, in the times of the
ARABIAN Nights Tales" which make
mention of the three cities of Cairo,
Bagdad and Damascus only. These
three lamps can never be replaced.
The knack of making them is with the
mummies. Consequently one couldnot
be purchased for less than $1,000. A
fragment OF u proken ono was vno0 so1u
in Paris for 1000 francs. Here hangs,
too, one of the very few real Damascus
blades" that have been preserved since
steel was wrought to pierce like needle
and bend like bow. A mighty tray Of
brass, the engraving on which took one
year of mans time; some proofs of ex-
cellent printing in Arabic, Greek, Cop
tic and Hieroglyphic characters, done in
Cairo; an impressive collection of pot
terry from the hands of poor Arabs SO
far up in upper Egypt as Assoun, near
the first cataract; specimens of paper
manufacture silk cocoons; precious
woods and astonishing wood carving, all
these are of modern date. Likewise the
sumptuous display of gold embroidered
tablespreads Zone valued at $4,000; o1
gold decorated saddles and saddle cloths
and of furniture in imitation of ebony
inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl
Here are ladies' jackets and caps weighed
down with precious ornaments, ant
ladies' stockings so pretty and fragile

American maidens will certainly be en-
cased in fresh invoices of them befor
the summers close. But perhaps tn
most amazing things in the modern OK
hibition sent by the khedive are tn
drawings by Arabs in the public school
of Egypt, portfolio of which was ex
posed to the procession as it passed
: They are architectural and scientifi
drawings mostly, by Arab youths Q
: fifteen toseventeen years. And it woul
be interesting to see the United State
or another country bring forth a
amateur draughtsman of any age to bea
them.
