The passage of the river and harbor
bin by the House under suspension OF
the rules, without any opportunity for de-
bate, the bill invoking an expenditure
of over s. 900 600, is an example of the
reckless, and dishonest way in which
measures that will not stand investigation
or discussion are pushed through the dem
ocratic House Mr.. Cox of New York
objected TO the indecent haste with which
the measure was pushed bat the majority
interrupted him with howls and put the
measure through. The character of some
of the improvements" to he made was
set forth in the sarcasm of Mr.. Cox who
said that it would be necessary 10 legis-
late for a supply of water in the so-calIed
streams which were to be improved.

Thur day Morning, April %, 1878.

Senator Blaine's resolution protesting
against any change in our present tariff
laws is likely to be adopted by the Senate,
as it ought to be. This would at once
put an end to the depressing uncertainty
under which business labors while the tar
riff thinkers ply their mischievous trade.
Wnh this adopted there can he an early
adjourn mont of Congress, for which the
country will be thankful.

Oppression in Egypt.

Egypt is country grooming beneath
frightful tyranny. Writing to an En-
glish journal, under date Assouan, Feb.
10, Mr.. Douglas Murray says:
Provisions, always dear, are now at
higher prices than ever, and how the
years taxes will be raised in Upper
Egypt is mystery yet to be solved. 1
suppose those who can't pay will suffer
the usual penalty-the bastinado and
imprisonment without food. They may
die, and it matters nothing to the Gov
eminent, which lives for the day, and
apparently cares nothing for the future.
The unfortunate people are constantly
taken from their homes to work on the
Khedive's estates and factories. A small
proprietor is taken from the land he
is cultivating. His camel and donkey
are carried off to the factory, where it
is all work and no pay. A modicum of
sugar-cane or corn is all he gets till the
mills have finished the seasons work.
His land is deserted. If he has crops
they are ruined. He is promised pay
ment, but never gets farthing. The
landholders are charged enormous rents,
and every profession and trade pays for
its license. Thousands of the bazar-
shops are closed to escape taxes. Even
a cooks boy has to pay S15 q year for
license, and donkey-boy pays not only
for his own license, but for his donkey's.
Every conceivable thing, animate or in
animate, is taxed. Soldiers are at pres
ent entirely unpaid, and officers have
received nothing for about q year. Few
of the civil servants, unless Europeans,
have seen salaries for months. Such is
the price Egypt has to pay for pro-
gressive Prince, bent upon Europeaniz-
ing his country. The condition of his
people is worse than that of the French
in 1850. Will similar results follow?
While his people are starving he has
given five of his sons magnificent pal
aces, and his daughters, too, have
princely abodes."
Mr.. Murray says that this is his fourth
visit to Egypt, and each year he finds
the Indebtedness greater. The deplor-
able aspect of the people, who, in many
places, have that pinched look which
only long continued starvation can give,
largely takes away from the pleasure of
travelling on the Nile. At Girgeh he
found that the children's food was sug-
arcane previously sucked by others.

Chinese Ball Players.

The Chinese, as well as the white res.
idents of the town, seem inclined to
sports in the open air this fine weather.
They yesterday had game of ball 60
ing in their quarters which attracted a
great crowd of almond-eyed spectators.
The players numbered about half doz-
en-. They stood in circle about twen-
ty feet in diameter, and the ball was
something that looked like the heel of a
boot with a bunch of feathers stuck in
the top. The ball being thrown into
the air the game was to keep it going by
kicking it or knocking upward with the
palm of the hand. The man who struck
or kicked at it without hitting it was
the loser. The game seemed to possess
great attractions for the Mongolians,
and they got about at livlier rate than
they are often seen to do. No China
man seemed to be able to pass the spot
where the game was in progress with
out stopping to have look at it. The
wood-peddlers halted his donkeys, and
laborers with poles and baskets on their
shoulders all Joined the circle of spec
tators and Joined in the running fire of
comment and general gable. When
half q dozen dexterous kicks had been
made without the ball once reaching
the ground the many expressions of de-
light uttered by the spectators rapidly in
creased and finally eliminated in q tu-
mul.uous roar. They wouldn't have
snapped their game for all the base
ball in the country.-Nirginia CITY En-

The Use Of the Lemon.

A piece of lemon bound on corn will
relieve it in day or two. It should be
renewed night and morning. The free
use of lemon juice and sugar will al
ways relieve cough. A lemon eaten
before breakfast every day for week
or two will prevent that feeling of lassi-
tudespeculiar to the approach Of spring.
Perhaps its most valuable property is its
absolute power of detecting any Of the
injurious and even dangerous ingredi-
ents entering into the composition of SO
very many Of the cosmetics and face
powders in the market. Every lady
should subject her toilet powder to this
test: Place teaspoonful Of the suspect
ed powder in glass and add the Juice
of q lemon. II effervescence takes place
it is an infallible proof that the powder
is dangerous, and its use should be
avoided, as it will ultimately injure the
skin and destroy the beauty of the COM
plexion.

A Boys Composition on Girls.

Girls is the only folks that has their
own way every time. Girls is of sever
al thousand kinds, and sometimes one
girl can be like several thousand other
girls if she wants to do any thing. Girls
is alike one way, and they are all like
cats. If you rub 'em the right way of
the hair they'll purr and look sweet at
you, but if you rub 'em the wrong way
or step on their tails, they'll claw you.
So long as you let a girl have her own
way she's nice and sweet; but just cross
her and she'll spit at you worse nor a
cat. Girls is also like mules. If a girl
don't want to believe any thing you
can't make her. If she knows it's SO
she won't say So Brother George says
he doesn't like big girls, but he does
like little ones, and when l saw him
kissing Jennie Jones last Sunday, and
told him of what he'd said, he said he
was biting her, cause he didn't like
her. think be hurt her, for she hol-
lowed and run, and there was big red
spot all over both of her two cheeks.
This is all I know about girls, and
father says the less I know about them
the better off am.

first cost between the best In the mar.
ket and the most inferior Is but trifle
compared with the saving which canbe made
during the first year Of Its use, not only In
the fuel used, but in time, convenience and
labor. to say nothing of the satiEfaction of
having food palatabiy and BEAUTIFULLY pre-.
pared. With proper care . cook-stove can
Re made to last twenty years or more: As an
evidence of the durability OF well con.
structed stove, there can now be seen at the

NJ. RILEY in April, 1861, and has been in ac-
tual use doing the cooking Of family COM
prising from nine to eighteen persons for
nearly twenty-fours years, portion OF the
time used for heating as well - cooking,
there being no other stove In the house, and
is yet in an excellent state OF preservation:
A prominent citizen of st. Louis has q No. B
Charter Oak, which has been used 0vertwen.
ty-five years, and is still good for several
years service. 1t is fact worthy Of notice
here, that the first Charter Oak Stove eUey
sold to a dealer toas delivered to c. G.. Jones,
of st. Louis, on the 23d day of March, 1864,
or just exdctly ttoenty -six years ago. From
the day Of its Introduction the Charter Oak
has steadily grown in favor and popularity,
giving perfect satisfaction in all localities.
As proof Of the popularity we would refer
to the very large sales which have been made,
as high as q $50 stoves having been sold in
one year, and the total number Of al sizes OF
Charter Oak Stoves which have been manu-.
featured by Mr.. Fillev up to this date Il
3,426. They are distributed in nearly all
the States of this Union, and number have
been exported to England, Germany, South
America and Australia. The Grand Charter
Oak combines all the merits Of the old stove
and such improvements as have been made
from time to time since their introduction,
including several Of late date, which will
be readily appreciated when seen, and we
are confident that the Grand Charter Oak
is unequaled for beauty Of design, uniform
excellence, superiority Of construction and
perfection of finish and operation.
The company solicit sample orders for the
new stove, guaranteeing that II 1t does not
prove to be all and even more, than is claimed,
:he stoves can II returned at their expense.

Oysters should be set out with top
dressing of bread crumbs and plentiful

great care and attention, however, to
keep them from running into the butter
