A Historic Country.

Egypt was the land visited by Abra-
ham in search Of food when there was a
famine in his own country--the land to
which Joseph was carried as slave, and
which he governed as prime minister. :
From Egypt Moses led the Israelites
through the Red sea. Here Jeremiah
wrote his lamentations Here Solon,
Pythagoras, Plato, and many other
Greek philosophers, came to study
Here Alexander the Great came as con-
queror. Egypt taught the world the
uee of paper made of its rushes-the
papyrus. In EgyP was founded the
first public library and the first college
OF learned men--namely: the Alexan-
drian museum. Here Euclid wrote his
Elements Of Geometry Theocritus his
Poems, and Lucian his Dialogues. =
Here the beautiful Cleopatra, the last
Egyptian queen, held Julius Cesar, and
then Mark Antony, captive. In Egypt
were built the first monasteries. The
Christian fathers (0rigen and Athasian)
controversy began there. The buildings
which now remain are the Oldest and
largest in the world. On the bank OF
its great river may be seen the oldest
arch and the Oldest column. Up this
noble stream sailed Herodotus, the most
entertaining OF travellers, and Strabo,
the most iudicious. Indeed,-as the
country is little more than the narrow
strip that is watered by tho Niles over
fow--from the river may be seen almost
Ill its great cities and temples.

With White Hands.

Years she went about the world,
Lovely eyes and smiling face,
Dressed and scanted, gemmed and curlet
Always queen by right of grace.
All the time there was a grave
Meath the warm Italian sky,
by the Adriatic's wave;
She alone, OF all, knew why.
He whose dust lay lonely there,
Far from friends and native land,
Worked 10 win name 10 wear
Till she Let him kiss her hand
Love and longing, pain and pride,
Passion first, and coldness next;
When she went away he died,
Being frail, intense and vexed.
But the snow above her heart
Melted suddenly one day,
And, awakening with a Start,
She wrote, oh, forgive, pray,
AN my coldness, all my pride;
/, unwillingly, am true.
When my lips said NO ! lied,
have never loved but youp
Weeks she waited, then there came
Tardily from that far land
A brief letter to her name
Not his signet nor his hand
Juet to say that he was dead:
His light went out suddenly.
Brokenly she bowed her head:
'All is said and done fer met
Then remembering life, as twere,
Just burden at her feet,
Heavily she stopped her there,
Loathing what had been 60 sweet.
And tonight there is feast
! am promised, l must 60.
Might see his grave at least
Bat the world would scorn me so.
We'll, ii may be that some day
When I'm wrinlled, bent and old,
When my hair is thin and gray,
None will think but am cold.
4 may do then as please,
Gross the sea and seek his grave,
Linger near it at my case
that slew where could savep
Oh, she was so fair that night
Soft flushed cheeks and sweetest eyes,
Shoulders so divinely white
And voice of low repliesl
But the while she bent her head
In the waltz's rapturous wave,
She was thinking, he is dead 7
And, What flowers grow on his grave2'

Feminine Devices a Century Ago.

1t is not to be supposed for moment
that ladies OF the present day resort TO
artificial mel ans Of increasing that native
loveliness which when unadorned is
adorned the most Their great-grand-
mothers, however, thought differently;
and SO numerous had female falsifcatione
become century ago, that it was Deem
ed necessary TO introduce an act into the
English parliament in 177o, which pro
vides as follows
'All women, OF whatever age, rank,
profession, or degree, whether they be
maids or widows, that shall, from and
after this act, impose upon and betray
into matrimony any Of his majesty male
subjects by paints, scents, cosmetic
washes, artificial teeth, false hair, Span
iCh wool, iron stays, hoops, bigh-heeled
shoes, or bolatered hips, shall incur the
penalty Of the law now in force against
witchcrait and misdemeanors, and the
marriage, upon conviction, shall stand
null and void

All investigation was stopped this morn.
ing BY runners from the White River
Utes, who stated that nner from the
Uintsh Utes say that troops were moving
to tho Uintah Agency to make prisoners.
and that all the Uiutahs had lett for the
camp Of the White River Utes, who
now refuse TO come or until 40.
sured that this 10 not true. The Indians
have been informed by rs that this re.
port 10 false. and that the troops are In.
Structed not to advance during the pres.
snt negotiations. An advance OF troops
would close any further business here.
0aray thinks the story Is an invention
Of the Mormon element, who are doing
all 10 their power to create serious
trouble. This will delay the Commis.
sion six days. until the White River run.
ners return from the Ulntah Agency.
Secretary Sohurx has for some time
suspected that some adverse element
was secretly at work to retard, or. II pos.
sible. defeat the reports Of the Commits.
sion; and hs 10 strongly inclined to DO.
lisvs that the source OF the present
trouble 10 correctly indicated BY oaray.
