THE DISTRESS IN MANCHESTER The dis dress began with the Arctic weather, which set in all over the country in the opening days of December. The immediate result of the in tense frost was to throw number of men, en- gagged in every department of work out of en- ployment. The very picks and spades of an army Of navvies were arrested in a single night, as by magic, through an iron frost which rendered all out-of-doors work impracticable The severity of the Winter remained unabated during the month which followed, and as the Christmas holidays approached, the suffering was intensified by the annual of time, which on this occasion proved to be most inop0 p0ortune. The large number of joiners who not obtained work, since the recent disastrous strike in the building trade, increased the number of those who experienced in it's full force the pitiless rigor of the season. Without doubt, however, the chief cause of the distress was the unparal- leled depression ot the Manchester trade in al- most all its departments. It would be incor- rect to say that the recent distress has come upon the community unnoticed or without warning. Since the Winter of 1874-5 busi- ness has gone from bad to worse, and, as a consequence poverty and privation have been spreading through the community in ever-wid- ening circles. The prolonged and ever-deep- ening depression of the staple trade in nearly all it's forms has forced many large firms to discharge considerable portion of their em ployees, and to reduce the wages of those still retained. Hundreds of clerks, travellers, and warehouse men have consequently been thrown adrlft on the world, many of whom are total ly unfit for any avocation outside the narrow groove in which they formerly worked and prospered. Many a reluctant conscript in the forlorn army of the unemployed has found his way into it's troubled ranks through no fault whatever of his but simply because of con spiracy of events, which it was impossible for him to forecast, much less to cOntrol.-AH the YeGr Round.

Nothing is more novel and stunning in it's effect upon travellers from this country in En- gland than the constant obtrusion of the ever lasting sixpence in places where we should consider 1t an insult to all proper or sacred feeling. An Englishman in almost any rank will accept pay or money for kindly services which here the poorest would offer gratuitous- ly. II he tells you the way on the streets or gives you the time of day or light for your cigar, no matter how good his coat, the chan ces are that you will not offend him by tip. Ii a lady calls at a friends house she is ex- pected to tip the servant who shows her to the drawing groom if you stay by invitation at private house over night, you will find the whole corps of servants drawn up waiting for their money in the hall in the morning; their master saves himself so much of wages by your gf:s, and counts on saving It. Very few Americans would be willing to throw the pri- vacy ot their homes to the public to increase their income; but if an Englishmaris house, IS ms castle or can by any means be made d show place, he turns an honest penny by ex- hibiting it. The shilling or crown or sovereign paid by visitors to the servant who escorts them through the great houses goes, not to the servant as is often supposed, but directly into the pocket of the master. In the case of Chats
 worth, Blenheim and places of that grade, the revenues of the dncal owners are increased thousands of pounds by this means The American is just as fond probably, of the al- mighty dollar as his British cousin, but he manages to get it in different way..-1rt- 6u7ae. 5..r. - -.

HABITS OF THE CRAWLING AND How TO AN GLE FOR HIM.-The grayling himself rarely exceeds two pounds in weight, and the aver age weight in catch is about half pound, so that they run considerably larger that the brook trout. He is constructed upon the model of the trout, though not quite so chunky, his head being perfect copy. His fins also re- semble the trout's, with the exception of the dorsal, which is very large and beautifully marked and gives him strength and swiftness. His color is purplish gray, darkest on the back, and his sides are silvery. There are in- dications of speckles on the belly like the trout's but his distinguishing characteristic is 8 series of irregular black spots on each side just below the gills, resembling the letter T. You will always find him in the holes if you approach them carefully, and the ordinary angle worm IS as good bait as you can find. He does not rise to the bait like trout, con- sequently you must fish near the bottom of the holes, and this you can regulate with float, which also enables you to put your line into every nook and corner you desire. He is a strong, free bitter, and, as he runs with the bait in every direction with the swittness of an arrow flying out of the water with amazing leaps; you must keep firm hand on him and his head must be held up stream. Any sud- den jerk will inevitably pull the hook out of his mouth, which is very tender
 Once out of the water give him no chance to struggle in the air. Take him directly over your basket and seize him by the gills. If you take him by the body he is as hard tohold as an eel, and will inevitably flop back into the water. In thls connection it should be stated that the ordinary creel is of no account as the scribe can bear witness. Any 1.-two pound grayling will flop out of it. A basket with a flat top, made of canvas, convergiDg to the aperature, will take them in as easily as if they were led into a hopper. The sensation of the bite of large grayling is like an elect ric shock. It is not like the dull humping tug of the bass or pickerel on the end of q trolling line, but rapid succession of sharp fierce jerks and then your line goes dipping, missing through the water in every direction, and the slvery creature flies out of the stream in curves like those made by a salmon. -CAi- cGgO TaT6une.

IRE CONDITION OF WOMEN.-The ages of animal passions, of muscular supremacy, of conflict with wild animals. of barbarian wars in short, the ages of physical prowess, when the only ordeal was one of muscle-belong in- disputably to man. The subserviency of wO- man was one of the conditions of progress in those rude phases of human existence. But it does not follow that this will always be the case. It is a generally recognized principle that the stepping stones of one generation are likely to become the stumbling blocks of a succeeding one and MT. Spencer even uses the argument of presumptive evidence against opinions which have arisen in barbarous age. Legouve says: ''The protracted subjectiOn of woman proves but one thing, that the world so far has had more need of the dominant quail ities of man, and that her hour has not yet come. We have no reason to conclude from this fact that it will not come." And he forti- fes his position with the following striking it. lustration "How many centuries did it take to produce this simple maxim of common sense, All men are equal before the law ]? The tardy advent of an idea, so far from prov . ing it's usefulness and fallacy, is often an ar gument in favor of it's grandeur. The princi- pies of liberty, charity, fraternity, are all mod ern principles" It remains for these princi- pies to become still further modernized by their extension to women as part of the hu- man family. Their coexlstence, with certain curious ''survivals" from the ages of muscle, supplies striking example of the remarkable tolerance of the average human mind for in- congruous ideas provided these ideas have been associated for a sufficient length of time. In England, until the reign of William and Mary, women were refused the benefit of cler- gy, and in the time of Henry VIII. an English Parliament prohibited the reading of the New Testament in English by women and others of low estate. The male Mohammedan to-day indignantly rejects the idea that his female companion, as we'll as himself, may have a soul. Among the Hindoos, women are still excluded from the advantages of reading and writing, and, with few exceptions, the higher institutions of learning are everywhere still monopolzed by the more muscular sex. That these facts (gathered from widely separated ages and countries) harmonize in spirit and principle, thus revealing a common origin, scarcely needs to be pointed out {; the laws of heredity and descent are therein conspicuous ly illustrated and, as between men and wO- men, the age of muscle still exists. .-The Vest nai,oster ReUieao.

IsMAL PAsHAs LAST LoAN.-The Reforme of Alexandria, the only independent Egyptian newspaper, publishes in it's issue of June 16
 some interesting details of the last financial operations of the ex-Khedive before his de- parture, which M. Adolph Ebeling has made the basis of lively article in The Deutsches Montags Blatt. The facts divulged may be has repeatedly, but in vain, challenged the Egyptian government to deny or disprove the accuracy of its statements. Shortly before his departure Isman raised loan of some eight hundred thousand pounds sterling among Alexandrian financiers to meet the payment of the March coupon. Nearly million ster- ling is to be found by hook orcrook to appease the unsuitable maw of his willy Levantine cred itors ! But how? The taxes for the whole year 1879 had been anticipatorily raised by the end of February. No amount of bastiua- doing could extract more money from the un- fortunate fellah. There still remained the harvest, which was exceptionally good, and at all events seemed to exempt the unfortunate
 down-trodden, poor and patient agricultural labOrers and their wives and families from starvation. On the durrah, barley and corn Ismail fastened his greedy eyes and conceived and executed the following diabolical scheme: He issued decree, strictly carried out by the governors of the vrrious provinces forbid ding the sale of corn of any kind except to tKe government. The government ostensibly bought up all the harvest and gave the unfort- unate grower 6ons of fifty piastres for the ard- 60 (the market price being ninety to a hundred piastres) but even that wretched half of the value of his goods the Egyptian peasant was robbed of for the government OU is so much waste paper; not donkey boy in Cairo would give para for it. Having collected, or rather robbed the population of about eight hundred thousand Grde6s of corn, which they disposed of for about an equal number of pounds sterling, the government were enabled to satisfy the claims of the bankers, who had already laid hands on four viceregal steamers notably the luxurious yacht Marnsa, in which Isn,ai departed for Naples. The trans action is all the more reprehensible when it is remembered that the Khedive has large sums some say six millions stcrling-lodged in London banks and elsewhere The same pa- per from which we take this statement also vouches for the following illustration of Is- mails wicked ways week before his depos- ition he endeavored to raise some $500, ,0O0 on the diamonds of his second wife, The nego- tiatiens collapsed owing, it is said, to the mu- tual suspicion of the parties concerned, or, more definitely, because the accommodating financiers doubted the genuineness of some of the stones offered as security. That is, in
 deed, as Mrs Malaprop would say, an allegory on the banks of the Nile with vengeance ETGnai7aer.
