THE KHEDIVE'S EXPLANATION.
Why he Dismissed the European Ministers
IN. 7. Tines.l

A somewhat ludicrous turn is given to the
melancholy state Of public affairs In Egypt
by the explanation OF his conduct In dismiss
ing his foreign advisers which the khedlve
has recently given to the correspondent OF
London newspaper. Ii we are to believe Is
mail, he stood quietly at one side while the
representatives OF the French and English
bondholders were In control OF the govern
ment Offering advice from time to time, which
was uniformly rejected in somewhat con-
temptuous manner. But In spite OF this ar
bitrary treatment, he quietly suppressed
whatever indignation he may have had, feel
ing that he couldsafford to sacrifice great
deal If the condition Of his poor people could
only be improved. But the native clerks
places whose thievish propensities were
each ex-of1iceholder became centre
for dissatisfaction. The army, too, was re-
duced, and though this blow cut the Khedive
to the quick, he still stood loyalty by the
ministry. At last, however, the dismissed
army officers and clerks, the legislators who
religious creeds- Jewish, Coptic and Moslem-
came to him and said that the effacement OF
Egypt had gone far enough, and that II he
(the Khedive) did lot right their wrongs they
should act without him. Realizing that he
was on the brink OF a revolution, Ismail came
to the front and by turning the ministers out
of Office saved them from an outraged anc
exasperated people. To quote the khedive's
own words: "And now | will be just to the
European ministry. They have taken away
my land and my power, but they have giver
me by their faults what no ruler in Europe
had before to-day-the love, the sympathy
and the respect Of my people. For the frs
time in history Egypt is united and devoted
to one man. am popular sovereign"

"What is the capital Of Pennsylvania ?"

''What Is the largest city In Pennsylvania r

"What building is there in Philadelphia that

the question.

as he stretched up his arm to its full length
Tell us what it is then, my boy, said the
doctor.

In his issue of March 18th, the
editor of We The People says that
the editor of this paper has "squeal-
ed" or confessed at last, in regard
to the "true inwardness" Of the
Raglan and Jeter trials. In max
ing this statement the ''indepeud
ent" man of Alexandra has been
guilty of diStorting the facts which
we published, and has also shown
a woeful ignorance of the whole
thing.
We said that the decision in the
Raglan c,se YVES Just, and that, hod
not a Radical tool tempered NTH the
rotes in the bores. so as ~ 'T.r fhrm
in faror of the Radical contestant,
Dan Fletcher, the decision Of The
second jury ,could hacs been IN tacor
of Mr.. Jeter, the Democratic 'ncum-
bent, Just as the first uas for Judge
Raglan. The Jeter case was tried
two days after the Raglan case, and
in that time some "indepenent'
Republican changed the votes III
the boxes SO as to give Fletcher a
majority. During this time the
boxes were not in the hands of
Sheriff Jeter. 1t would be bad
thing for some of your ''independ-
ents" up this way, Brother Con-
nelley, if Gen. Ogden was to try
his skill in unravelling the knot
which seems to puzzle you so much.
Do you "twig" now?

Try q New Plan.

One of the greatest mistakes our
farmers make is in trying to firm
too much land. They ought not
to attempt to work a single rod
more land than they can work
well. Lay that down as rule,
and then work to it, taking into
the calculation all the probabilities
of wet or dry weather. 1t is far
easier and certainly more profita-
BILE to raise and gather sixty bush
els of corn from one acre of ground,
than it is to raise and gather fifty
bushels from two acres. And
good farming is almost sure to
produce the first result, while bad
or halfway farming will certainly
bring about the other Another
mistake we are disposed to think
they make, and that is in mannr-
ms lands; if they have but small
quantity of manure, they usually
spread 1t thin, with the view of
making it go as far as possible.
Suppose you try new plan in
that matter also. Commence on
one side of your 6eld, aud manure
heavy as far as it will go-next
year extend it little further, aud
SO on until you have enriched the
whole field, and in the mean time,
yon have made better crops and
with less work. The old way of
raising five bales of cotton to twen-
ty-fve acres of land, has exploded,
while the new and better way is to
raise iive bales to FIVE acres. Try
it. and see if this is not the easier
and more profitable plap,-Water

II is perfectly reasonable aud sure
~ right for the colored people to
have q representative from every

ored people are largely represented
AZ they are in Grant. The colored
people are now American citizens,
and they claim protection under the

both poll and personal tax. and no
one with common intelligence is sur
prise at them wanting to be repre-
sented by some one that they think
