CAIRO, Nov. 2. 1870.
The recent difficulties concerning the obelisk
had their origin in long standing litigation
with the Egyptian government concerning the
land upon which the obelisk stands. Tho
Italians, claiming this land, forbade Lieu
tenant Commander Gorringe to proceed with
the work of removal The Italian Vice Consul
at Alexandria supported this prohibition, but
the American Vice Consul General had an in
tcrview with the Italian Consul General at
Cairo, and through the good will of the latter
the Italians Withdrew their opposition, upon
ceiving from Commander Gorringe slight COM
pensation for the use Of the land The Com
mander is now proceeding rapidly with his
work, although several holders of Egyptian
bonds have threatened to sequester the obelisk.
The Khedive and American Vice Consul both
ridicule the idea that the obelisk can be seized
by anybody.

Answers TO Many Correspondents.

In reply to numerous inquiries
from our readers, concerning the
wonderful qualities of the Great
German Remedy, ST.. JACOBS OIL
mention in our last issue--we would
inform them that the article may be
obtained from our retail druggists,
or by their aid. Ask for st. Jacobs
Oil, and if the dealer does not keep
it in stock, he will be able to pro-
cure it in a few days from the whole
sale houses. We understand there
is already an immediate demand for
the remedy, which is not so very
surprising when it is considered
what it is daily accomplishing in the
way of relief and cure, bordering,
in some instances, on the miraculous.

TEXAS morality is peculiar, to say
the least, and the victims IN some
cases out of the usual line. The
latest case of display Of Lone Star
SHINING and vengence is worthy a
paragraph. At Houstan man, with
wife and children, who gained a
livelihood by stocking a locomotive
engine, fell victim to the wiIes OF
female fiend, Julia Seals, a hand
some servant girl in neighboring
family, with all the devilish arts
known to those who play upon the
young and innocent Of the other sex,
seduccd him into paying her atten-
tions The wife Of the fireman
found the danger which threatened
her unsophisticated husband, went
to the house of the handsome Julia,
called her out and, maddened by the
sight of her own wedding ring upon
Julia's finger, which no doubt she
had by her insidious wiles got from
the injured husband, fired at the
destroyer of her hopes, breaking
her jaw, bnt not fatally wounding
Julia The beautiful betrayer Of in
nocent married men Of Texas will
live, but it is probable that she will
not again practice her arts in that
neighborhood.
NEWS from the Indians in the
Northwestern British possessions is
alarming. A dispatch from Winni-
peg. Manitoba, states that the say
ages are coming in in large numbers
to the mounted police stations and
the settlements, demanding food and
threatening to take it by force, In
one instance there was raid, which
resulted in the carrying off of some
cattle and the arrest Of some of the
leaders in the raid by the mounted
police. At one of the forts $500
Indians came in saying that they
were starving. Provisions are ar
irving from Fort Benton, but not in
quantity sufficient to relieve the dis
tress The buffalo are reported
going north, but the herds still keep
on the American side, and Canadian
Indians are afraid to cross in pur-
suit, the American tribes threatening
to attack them. Sitting Bull, with
seventy-iiive warriors, is encamped
fifty miles southeast Of Fort Walsh.
He is very i'll and Respondent. His
followers are all going north to
Prince Albert, raiding stores, settlers
houses and traders wagons on the
way. The settlers are reasonably
excited.

The outlook for the construction of
favorable, and it is probable that it
will constitute the subject of important
Confessional action, and that resolutions
will be introduced at an early stage of
the session placing any American com
pany to which the local government
may make concession of the route, under
the protection of the United States.
Public sentiment seems to point to Gen
eral Grant as the fit man for the presi-
dency of the company, and he has agreed
to meet Admiral Ammen and confer
with him as to formally accepting the
position. The cost of the canal is esti-
mated at not far from $IOO,OO0,O0O,
and at So per ton the tolls would, it is
reasonable to believe, amount to $lO,-
100000 the irst'ye or ten per cent
on the cost. 1t is furthermore under
stood that prominent foreign banking
house stands ready to take twO-thirds
of the stock as soon as Congress shall
have formally approved the project and
guaranteed it protection. No flag but
that of the United States should be al
lowed to fly over such a new world en-
terprise.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.


The annual message sent to Congress
last Monday by President Hayes is
remarkable document in many respects.
Not the least remarkable thing about it
is the fact that it is written in fairly
good English. and put together with
some literary skill-things that are not
often found in Presidential messages.
The first topic treated is that of the
national finances. After cOngratulating
Congress on the success of resumption,
the President makes two recommended
tions: first, that the Secretary of the
Treasury be authorized to discontinue
the coinage of the silver dollar second
iy, that measures be taken at once for
the retirement Of the legal tender cur
rency. On this point Mr.. Hayes is par
ticularly emphatic in his declarations ::
alt is my firm conviction that the issue
of legal tender paper money, based
wholly upon the authority and credit of
the Government, except in extreme
emergency. is without warrant in the
Constitution, and violation of sound
financial principles.
The topic that is most deliberately
treated in the message is Civil Service
reform. The Administration has been
so open to criticism on this point, up to
this time, that it has seemed to many to
have abandoned all purpose of fulfilling
its pledges. President Hayes speaks
now with no uncertain sound He is as
frank and positive as in his letter of &C
ceptance of the Presidential nomination,
and commits himself to definite scheme.
He cannot withdraw now without posi-
tive dishOnor. and his purpose can only
be to do all in his power to set 10 mo.
tion reform that shall be thorough and
permanent. He declares it to be his
his plan to renew the examinations au.
tbOriEed by the law Of 1871, and calls

Secretary Sherman, in his annual re-
port, recommends that the rules of the
House and Senate be changed so as to
prevent tho addition of general leg
islation to appropriation bills. The end
proposed is excellent and necessary, but
the means, as is not unusual with the
suggestions of Mr.. Sherman, are defec-
tive. Rules are of no use when ~the
very body desiring to evade them may
legally suspend their operation. Mr..
White of Pennsylvania, proposes more
radical remedy in the form of consti-
tutional amendment which not only
confines appropriation bills to their le-
gitimate subject matter, but gives the
President the power, without vetoing
the entire bill, to veto any single pro-
vision of such bill. This is change
which has already been introduced into
several Of our State Constitutions, and
it has been found to work extremely
well wherever it has been adopted. 1t
secures a very much closer and more
efficient responsibility on the part of the
Executive, and rob jObbers of what has
heretofore been one of their most fruit
full methods of securing the passage Of
Objectionable appropriations.

up in New York city. The progress Of
building in the West is illustrated by
the fact that the supply of lumber at
Chicago this year is thirteen hundred
million feet, nearly fourth more than
last year, but the demand is unsatisfed,
and lumber is reckoned very scarce and
high.
The Union Pacific Railroad in Neb. is

which it Is established. Appropriations
are needed for more complete labra-
tory, for the establishment of a veteri-
nary division. and division of forestry,
and for an increase of force. The re-
quirements for these and other purposes,
indicated in the report of the commits
sioner under the head of the immediate
necessities Of the department, will not
involve any expenditure of money that
the country cannot with proprlety now
undertake in the interests of agr1cul-
ture.
1t is gratifying to learn from the bu-
reau of education the extent to which
educational privileges throughout the
United States have been advanced dur
ing the past year. No more fundamental
responsibility rests upon Congress than
that of devising appropriate measures OF
financial aid to education, supplemental
to local action in the states and terrific
ries, and in the District of Columbia.
The wise forethought of the founders Of
our government has not only furnished
the basis for the support of the common
| school systems of the newer states, bu'
laid the foundations for the maintenance
of their universities and colleges of agri
culture and the mechanic arts. Meas
ures in accordance with this traditional
policy for the benefit of all these inter
ests, and the extension of the SAM
advantages to every portion of the coun
try, it is hoped, will receive your favo
lrable consideration.

upon Congress to make the necessary
appropriation for the resumption of the
Commission provided for by that law.
A definite law ought also to be passed.
he says, fOrbidding the levying of po-
litical assessments on office-holders
under any pretence whatever. If the
future course of the administration shall
be in accordance with the Presidents
plan, as thus defined the friends of re-
form will find it not hard to forgive its

Other topics of interest treated IN
the message are polygamy in Utah,
which Congress is urged to suppress !;
fair elections throughout the country.
for which all good citizens are exhorted
to strive; the state and needs of the

the enactment of a law enabling the
Government to give uncivilized Indians
a title-fee, inalienable for twenty-five
years, to the farm lands assigned them by
allotment, and the extension to civilized
Indians of the benefits of the Home
