What Egyptians Eat.

The modern Egyptians are, in gen.
eral, extremely temperate in regard to
food. Even the richest among them
take little pride, and perhaps experience
as little delight, IN the luxuries CT the
table. Their dishes mostly consist Of
plans, soups and stews, prepared prin-
cipally of Onions, cucumbers, and other
cold vegetables, mixed with little
meat, cut into small pieces. On special
occasions, however, whole sheep is
placed on the festive board but, during
several Of the hottest months of the
year, the richest restrict themselves en-
tirely to vegetable diet. The poor are
contented with little oil or sour milk,
in which they may dip their bread

described marks corresponding with
those on Janoo's boy; but, although
she remained some considerable time at
Lucknow, no traces could be found Of
the boy, and at last she returned to
Bondee. All these circumstances were
procured by the writer Of thelpamphlet
from Sanaollah, Janoo's master, and
from Janoo himself, both of whom de-
clared them to be strictly true. The

Keeping the Patient Quiet.

said the doctor, as he contemplated the
patient. "Did you keep him perfectly
quiet, as I directed, nurse?"
"Sakes massey of course l did,
replied the nurse. G Goodness gracious
he hasn't moved all night"
Anything going on in the house to
disturb him?"
"My sakes, of course not. They had
a little dancing party in the parlor, and
fight up stairs, and some burglars got
into the basement, and the servant girl
set fire to her bed, and the fat boarder
fell down the second fight, and the man
in the next room licked his wife, and the
water-pipe busted on the floor below,
and the gentleman in the back parlor
gave little supper, and there was some
music in the third story, and the cats
got out upon the back fence, and there
was baby born in the second floor

which ne was te0 on nee ana hour but
the odor did not leave him.
One night, while the boy was lying
under the mango tree, Janoo saw two
wolves creep stealthily toward him
and, after smelling him, they touched
him, and he got up. Instead, however,
of being frightened, the boy put his
hands upon their heads, and they began
to play with him, capering about him,
| while he threw straw and leaves at
them. Janoo tried to drive them off,
but could not; and, becoming much
alarmed, he called to the sentry over the
guns, and told him that the wolves were
| going to eat the boy. He replied,
"Come away and leave him, or he will
eat you also;' but when Janoo saw
them begin to play together his fears
subsidized, and he continued to watch
them quietly. At last he succeeded in
driving them off; but the following
| night three wolves came and, few
| nights after, four which returned sew
eral times. .Janoo thought that the two
which first came must have been the
cubs with which the boy was found, and
that they would have seized him had
they not recognized him by the smell.
They licked his face with their tongues
as he put his hands on their heads. M
WhenJanoo's masterreturnedt to Luck
now he was, after some difficulty, per-
suaded to allow Janoo to take the boy
| with him. Accordingly Janoo led him
along by string tied to his arm, and
put q bundle of clothes on his head.
Whenever they passed a jungle the boy
would throw down his bundle and make
desperate attempts to escape. When
beaten he raised his hands In supplica-
ton, took up the bundle and went on;
but the sight Of the next jungle produced
the same excitement. A short time after
his return to Lucknow JanOo was sent
away by his master for o day or two,
and found on his return that the boy
had disappeared. He could never be
found again. essf

NEVADA q OREGON RAILROAD.

A Rich Country to BE Opened Up
Promising Outlook for the Road.
The Nevada & Oregon Railroad, so far
as built, covers the sharpest grades and
steepest curves Of its line, and for many
miles ahead there is nothing to do but to
smooth q bed and lay the track. The Reno
Gazette says it is not decided whether the
company will first run their main line
north. or build from the junction on their
Plumas county branch. Either country is
worthy of q railroad, and will give it q
profitable support. The Plnmas county
branch will strike through Beckwith Pass
and across Sierra Valley, the most produc-
tive region in Eastern California. 1t will
be run through a good country all the way
to Quincy. II is about equally divided be-
tween agriculture and mining, and will
give q large freight and passenger business
to the road. If the company concludes to
put it's road through to the Oregon line
direct, the prospect for business is still
more fattering, although the road wonld
be longer. Down Long Valley and along
Honey Lake no country could be more ia
vorable to build q road over, and the pro-
ductive ranches already in cultivation
would throw a large business in grain,
fruit and cat tie to the road. Beyond
Honey Lake, the Madeline plains, Surprise
and Goose Lake Valleys will reach out to
meet the road before it gets half way. The
grading forces are 20 miles out, and pro-
crossing rapidly. The construction train
is running to the front, carrying out ties,
iron, spikes and spices.

A Cheap Windmill that should b
Introduced In these Parts.
John Asberry. a nan who has a little
ranch on the suburbs of Carson towards
Swift Springs. has been unable to secure
water to irrigate his land, and has finally
solved the problem independently Of any
body. He dug q well IS feet deep and
struck two veins Of pare cold water. He
then erected q windmill at an expense Of
$40, which pumps 1000 gallons Of water
on to his land every "a hours. The wind
mill, says the Carson Appeal, is built on
an entirely new plan, and a caviat has al
ready been filed preparatory to securing a
patent. The windmill consists Of four
boards about seven feet long fastened to
long arms projecting from an axle. The
ii acts on the affair just as water acts
on an overshot wheel. The wind only
strikes the upper part OF the wheel, the
lower part being enclosed by a board fence.
In a slight breeze the mill revolves about
20 revolutions per minute, but in a good
stiff gale I flies so fast that q sliding
board must BIZ raised to shut off the wind.
The wheel is connected with the plunger
Of the pump, aud the water flows in a
steady stream. The mill was running
briskly yesterday when some of the big
mills costing $3.50 were not moving. The
success Of this scheme solves the problem
Of irrigation in Nevada. Any man can sink
his we'll and erect his mill OF rough lum-
Der and nave his field irrigated at an ex-
pense Of $50, with his. water flow perpetual.

VERDICT IN THE WHITAKER
CASE.

And so it turns out that Cadet Whit
taker cut off his own ears. At least the
opinion of the courtmartial finds that he
did. The report will be submitted to
the President as soon as he is able to
give his attention to it. A late Wash
ington telegram says the essence of the
verdict is the finding of Whitaker
guilty of committing the alleged outrage
on himself. This verdict is unanimous,
and is coupled with the unanimous
recommendation that he be dismissed
from the service. The Judge-Advocate-
General will approve this verdict-there
is not the slightest doubt about that
and thus will end the most remarkable
military trial on record. 1t has cost the
Government nearly S25, 900 to decide
who mutilated Whittaker's ears, and
even.now, when it is all over, and the
verdict is that the boy himself did the
job to excite public sympathy. it will be
received with some doubt by a good
many people.

THE LSR

A correspondent Of the Philadelphia
Times concludes a long letter about the
Saulsburys Of Delaware as follows:
delaware is changing, and when Eli and
Chancellor Willard shall have passed
away, the Salisbury hold upon the State
will loosen. The family will then go
with Clayton into history. Their eulogy
is that not one of them ever secretly
profted by their trust. No sin of that
kind has been laid at their door. They
have been faithful servants. The com
plant is that they have held power too
long and too clanDishly. but the same
complaint may be made Of the Bayard
family, and anyhow what the Delawarean
wants is to be honestly governed while he
drives his humming reaper and bites the
sunny side of the peach"

CRITICAL CONDITION OF THE
PREsTDEET.

We believe that the President must
die. The dispatches justify this belief.
His physicians admit that there is moth
ing left but hope. That is a very slender
thread. Everybody has realized for
weeks that the President was not getting
along as he should, notwithstanding the
assertions Of the doctors to the con-
trary. Now it is admitted that he lies
in an extremely critical condition. The
SENTINEL believes that he will not be
alive forty-eight hours hence. Indeed,
he may be dead before this article reaches
the eye Of the reader this morning. And
IL he dies, what then? Arthur will, OF
course, become President. Arthur is a
stalwart and Conkling is his prophet.
We would have a stall wart administra-
ton. Conkling would name and shape
the new Cabinet. Blaine and the rest
would have to pack their carpet-sacks
and get. We doubt if Conkling would
90 into the Cabinet. He might regard
such a step indicate. Grant might
take a place if asked by Conkling to do
so. But in any event the half breeds
will stand a poor show under Arthur.
The situation must inevitably be an en-
barrassinp one for the Vice President.
If he succeeds to the Presidency he will
90 in without a party or a following of
any kind Of any magnitude. The press
and the country have pronounced en-
phatically for Garfield as against Arthur
and Conkling. We shall expect a break
neck rush among the alf-breeds to get
into the stalwart boat when Arthur
assumes the reins, if he does. The half
breeds will want offices, and to get them
they must bask in the smiles of the new
Administration. Hence, there will be
grand and lofty tumblng.
The death of President Garfield will
produce the deepest sorrow among all
classes throughout the land. His fate, if
he goes off with the assassin's bullet, will

general solicitude for his recovery. His
long suffering and other circumstances OF
his case have won him thousands OF
friends that he never possessed before.
Arthur cannot have this moral support,
and his administration must be beset
with difficulties from the start. He will
be q wise man if he manages to achieve
success under the circumstances.
1t is generally understood that Presi'
dent Garfield has a call signed for an ex
ira session Of Congress. The necessity
for this move is hardly apparent, unless
it is to provide against possible contin'
genoies. There is neither a President
pro tempore of the Senate nor a Speaker
of the House. Should Arthur. also bt
taken off there would be no lawful sue
cessor to the Presidency. In that event
the Government would be left without
legal head. It is to provide against thi
contingency that an extra session of Con
gress will be convened, we presume
But the contingency is remote and on,
not likely to arise in the brief periot
which intervenes until the meeting of tn,
regular session in December, less THAI
four months from date. We imagin,
that the country will not be likely to ap
p~reciate the necessity for an extra SEES
sion.
