rapidly and permanently, so also is
it tue case politically, When We
wish to defeat the schemes and
Vaccinations of the opposition we
have to take them in their incipi.
ency, and administer the blows in
profusion, that we may surprise and
defeat their well-laid plans. Acting
upon this principle the executive
committee Of this county came to-
gether last Monday, elected their
officers, and laid their pans for the
campaign.
By resolution they recommend
that the voters of the different pre-
cincts of the beats come together
on the first proximo, select five gen
tlemen as a precinct executive
committee; that the precinct COM
mittees so selected constitute beat
committees; that democratic clubs
be formed at each precinct for act

paign, and that when the citizens
come together on the 1st they will
make their nominations for beat
officers.
Thus it will be seer that the ex-

work at the beginning, and laid the
plans for an active, vigorous cam,
and if our fellowscitizens
will como together and carry out
the suggestions laid before them
there will be DO doubt of a most

IN FOREIGN LANDS.
Russian Coac7snnen.

The Russians are the best coachmen
in the world. In order to acquire the
great skill in driving to which they at
tain, they begin their training early-in
fact when they are quite children. 1t is
wonderful to see the oy-coachman driv-
ing carriage and four over rough and
dangerous roads at full gallop, for ten
and twelve miles at a stretch. Russia,
as all know, is of vast extent, being
II, 900 miles at its greatest length, with
an average width of l, 500 miles, and con-
tanning, as some estimate, 100000 of
square miles. The ordinary carriage
roads are nearly the only means of COM
munication. but these are of very infe-
rior construction. Huge hollows and
large stones continually intercept the
travellers progress; frail bridges of wood,
without any battlements or outside pro-
lection whatever, stretch across wide
and rapid rivers, and over the dangerous
roads and still more dangerous rivers the
Russian coachman dashes at the fastest
gallop. 1t seems a miracle that travellers
do not lose their lives, and break their
limbs and coaches every journey. The
latter often takes place, the coach being
stopped for repairs sometimes half a
dozen times on the road.

There are baths about town famous
and filthy. The chief bath is open to
males in the morning and to females in
the afternoon. CHANGING to be at this
fashionable resort in company with the
polyglot-we were under the protection
of the ever-attentive kawas-we yielded
to the seductions of the rubhers, the
sudsers, the swathers in soft linen, the
slave bearers of lemonade chilled with
snow, coffee and preserved rose leaves !;
the pipe boys and the barber, who puts
the finishing touch to the most harmless
of the sensual joys of Islam-the bath.
Thus beguiled we found the midday
hours upon us, and were surprised in
our bath by the entry of swarm of in
furiated women. They buzzed about us
like hornets. They would have stung
us had they not feared the frown of our
kawas. AS it was we We're glad to make
our escape as speedily as possible, amid
the jeers of twenty waddlin8 pyramids
of dry goods that glared at us with

learned it was only Miss Ka-foo-zul-um

THE PTR4MYDS,

The immense stones Used iii the
erection of the pyramids of Egypt were
obtained from the quarries in the Ara
bian hills and were carried to the river
and over bridge of boats. They were
then brought forward by means of a
causeway, which of itself took ten years
to construct, and which is said to have
been a fine work, with its polished
stones and figures of animals engraved
upon them. One hundred thousand men
were employed at a time, and these were
relieved by the same number at the end
of three months. A long time was
spent in the leveling of the rock on
which the edifce stands, and twenty
years for the erection of the edifice it
self. The stones were raised step by
step by means of a machine made of
short pieces of wood, and, last of all,
commencing from the top, the stones
were cemented together by layers of
cement not thicker than strip of paper.
the strength of which is proved by the
age of these enormous memorials.

Some interesting experiments ON the
