A correspondent in an exchange gives

A cheap and simple piece of machin-

IT is stated that France and England
have accepted Austria's view of the
Rothschild loan; that Rothschild must
redeem prior loans amounting to 81, ,4O0,-
900 in order to have first security on the
surrender of the khedival estate. Aus
tria and Germany will acccpv Anglo
French representatives in the commits
sion of liquidating, and resulting control
over Egyptian financial administration.
This agreement, if accomplished, removes
the threatencned hitch in the Anglo
French scheme. The Porte and Sultan
are spending their whole time over the
reform question and the demands of En-
gland. The position of the other powers
is necessarily one of reserve in the ques-
tion, which primarily concerns England
and Turkey, and in which marked inter-
ference would tend to embroil rather
than clear matters. Still, as regards
Austria and Germany, it may be taken
for granted that their influence is being
exerted in support of the demand for
beginning reforms as we'll as toward pre-
venting any collision. AS to joining
eventually in measures of coercion, no
invitation has yet been addressed to these
powers. In this respect there has, there
fore, been no occasion for giving an opin-
ion on the subject. The French and
Italian Cabinets are more than usually
reserved on the question, while the Rus
sian attitude in difference between En-
gland and Turkey cannot for moment
be doubted. Differences of that kind
have always been regarded by Russia as
most efficient lever for promoting her
political designs in Turkey-a lever sure
to be applied on the present occasion if
the complication last long enough to give
her an opportunity.

An English newspaper, the Liverpool
Daily Ne,rs, has for year past used four
type-setting and seven type-distributing
machines, at q saving Of about $1,000
per annum, as compared with the same
amount of work by hand. The COM
positors working the machine earn better
wages than their fellows at the case,
while the saving to the establishment is
over thirty per cent. The machines are
used for every kind of composition ex-
cept tabulated and displayed work, the
matter being set. spaced and justified
with greater accuracy than by hand
labor. Each machine cost $3.50, and the
average speed is 5000 ems per hour.

THE Catholic Bishops of Ireland have
adopted resolutions appealing to the gov
ernment and to all public bodies and
individuals to help the poor, asthe poor
law act is insufficient to meet the neces-
sites of the impending crisis. They at
the same time exhort their, focks to bear
their trials patiently, to respect the rights
of others, to pay their just debts as fully
as they are able and to obey the laws,
while using all peaceful and constitu-
tional means to reform the land laws,
which are the main cause of the coun-
try's poverty and helplessness.

THE United States Economist says:
A constant and steady export of wheat
and breadstuffs will occur throughout the
fall and winter months. As the season adj
vances it would not be surprising, if
prices would gradually grow ,frmer. " It
is unfortunate for the general welfare of
the country that great operators in grain
manipulate the market in wheat as they
do stocks in Wall street. By concerted
action they can corner wheat as they do
railroad stocks and thereby unsettle
values to the hindrance of legitimate

VIRTUES FAME.

Like q quiv'ering, crystal bubble.
Floating on the summers air,
Is maiden's fame for virtue.
Jewel Of all jewels rare
But a breath-and gone the bubble.
Never more to be the same;
But a whispered word OF scandal
Gone the maiden's spotless fame
False may be the direful rumor;
Pure In heart may be the maid;
But heartless world will whisper,
And the forfeit must be paid.
