To REVIVE YOUNG TREEs.-When
Young trees have been out OF the ground
q few days, either in transit from the
nursey or otherwise, and not properly
cared for, the bark becomes shrunken,
and although the roots may be in toler-
ably good condition, there is great dan
ger that the tree may die afterlt1s plan
ted. Especially is this the case With
peach trees. This may be prevented by
burrying tIS whole tree a few days.
To do this, dig trench as wide as the
tree is high, and about 8 inches deep at
one side and 1G inches deep at the other,
and long enough, to hold all the trees to
be buried when laid in the trench five
or six trees on the top OF one another.
Law the trees in the trench with the
roots at the deep side Of it, laying them
straight and packing them closely to-
gether, but do not pile them up above
the level Of the ground. Now cover the
trees, tops and roots, IL to Is inches with
earth. If the ground is very dry, few
buckets Of water should be slowly
sprinkled over the earth after the trees
are buried. In four or five days they
must be taken out and transplanted inn
mediately, being careful to cut the tops.
| have known trees thus buried, when
taken from the pit, to look as fresh as
er care, never knew one of them to
die.-[Cor. Country Gentleman.

by any one of tho signers, but was matter
prepared beforehand, probably by Deacon
Gilmore himself. These men, with M facts

KENTUCKY was disloyal during the war of

furnished by Maine, New Hampshire and

lid pensioners on the roll credited to Ken

the Kentucky regiments were oftener to the

THE EGYPTIAN OOMPLIcATIONs.

The ex-khedive of Egypt must remain in
exile from his native land, though his son
rules over it to-day. He has received a cor
dial welcome in Italy, and will probably
spend his remaining days in Naples. The
government of Russia demanded of the sui
tan of Turkey that he be allowed to resume
his residence in Egypt. The present khe-
dive deferred decision until the views of
England we're received, and those views be-
ing adverse to such step an edict has been
promulgated forbidding the late khedive to
SGT foot upon Egyptian soil.
This corroborates the conclusions arrived
at by the GLOBE, and stated several months
ago, that the influence of England and
France was in the future to predominant in
Turkey and Egypt. In previous article it
was explained that the financial relations
existing between Egypt and Turkey
on the one hand and England and
France on the other, rendered 8
sundering of friendly relations practically
impossible, and compelled the acquiescence
OF the eastern powers in whatever policy
those of the west should decide upon. The
result has fully demonstrated the correctness
of our judgment. It was at the demand of
England and France that the khedive abdi-
Gated his throne and went into exile. He
surrendered without remonstrance, and his
son was installed in his stead, the English
and French governments placing in his min
istry the men they thought best qualified to
protect their interests. Then the govern
ment of Russia entered a protest against the
exile of the late khedive, but this has lust
been overruled, and he has been condemned
to perpetual exile.
The facts may appear of but little impor-
lance, yet they are most significant. They
indicate in the first place that Turkey canno,
with safety. ignore the wishes of England aud
France. Much as she breads the dis
pleasure of Russia, she breads the displeas-
ure of the two other powers more, and conse-
quently has decided to obey the behests EN-.
anating from London and Paris rather than
those proceeding from st. Petersburg. In
adopting this course she incurs no particular
risk. If Russia takes exceptions to her course
she has resort, as means of defense, to
England and France, and these governments
will be bound to defend her course at any
cost.
These recent developments can have but
one result, and that the one previously indi-
Gated in the GLoBE-the gradual absorption
of Egypt by the British and French nations.
I'M n
The financial obligations incurred by the late
kkedive cannot be obliterated without ces-
sion OF territory, and from present indica-
tons it looks very much as if it was the in
tent1on of those governments to force q oes-
sion as soon as possible. Within the pres
emit decade, we are of opinion, the absorb
ton of Egypt by the empire Of Great BRIT
ain and the republic of France will be W.T.
messed.
