THE Saturday RevreU says that the
Cairo donkey boy is the incarnation of
everything oriental, strange, con-
venient. civil and wonderful in Egypt.
His activity, his ready tact, his good
temper, his avidity for backsheesh,
and, above all, his knowledge of
English, are astonishing. Many English
men accustomed to winter in Egypt
retain donkey boy for the season, and
in cases of severe illness one of these
marvellous factotums has been known
to become a tender, attentive, and
vigilant nurse. The average donkey
boy speaks better English than the
average dragoman.

The Most Horrible suicfde-An Insane Woman Droxvns Herself i'm a Barrel o1 Lye.
 EATON, May 24.-The citizens of New Hope, small town west of here all ex- citenlent over suicide that took place in their midst few nights ago. Mrs. Nancy Painter, the wife of Philip Painter, resident of that town, being the victim. She had been of unsound mind for several years, and about two years ago attempted suicide by cutting her throat. She was closely guarded after that until July 5, 1879, when she was adiudged insane and was taken to the asylum about two months ago, when she was re- turned home and considered much improved in health. On the evening of her sui eide she and her husband and two children retired to bed early. About midnight, MT. Painter awoke and found his wife absent. He immediately got up and went to look for her, but she was not to be found in the house. He went out in the yard and in going around the house he found his wife leaning over a barrel of strong I've water that was setting by the side of the house. Her head and shoulders were hidden from view, being covered by the strong fluid. The coroner, Dr. A. Stephens, was sent for, and her body was removed to the house. The sight was frightful to look upon. The flesh on her face and neck was cooked to the bone, her eyes were eaten out and her countenance so completely disfgured that it did not re- semble human being. As soon as an in quest could be held the body was buried, as no one could look upon it. The evidence at the inquest established the facts about as above stated. She was 46 years old and highly connected.
