The mystery of the Central Park drowning
case is not yet cleared up. No motive has
been found for suicide. Miss dc Yongh had
bappy home, was of cheerful disposition. and
no reason is known to her family for suppOs
ing she suffered from any mental trouble or
arrangement.
Evidently the Panama Railroad directors
have driven a good bargain with the DE
Iesseps Company. Twenty millions is pretty
stiff price for a poorly equipped road. forty
seven miles long, which originally cost only
S7,5OO,OOO. The purchase of the road by the
French practically crowds all American interests
off the Isthmus of Panama. We must hence
forth look to Nicaragua or to Tehuantepec for
a line of interoceaDic transit under American
control
If the Henley Regatta Committee persist iii
standing by their decision ruling out the Cor
nell crew, they will have to base their action
on the old legal maxim that Ignorance OF tie
law eXcuseth no man. The Cornell Oarsmcn,
when they telegraphed for q place in the race,
knew nothing OF the new rule requiring Gu
tries to be made by March l. Nor were they
TO blame for their ignorance, for no infOrma-
ton of the adoption of this rule was sent to
the American colleges.

COnkling must mean Democrat, for the Dem
pcrats controlled the Committee and the
House. Let him point his gun at the guilty
member and cease firing scattering shots at the
whole Committee.
It is not probable that any prosecutions

TIE question of slavery has

TIE question of slavery has again
come to the front in Egypt and has
been made the subject of special
meetings of the Council of Minis
ters. News came down to Cairo,
some weeks ago, that q caravan of
slaves had arrived at Stout. the
capital of Upper Egypt, and was
encamped outside Of the town. All
the authorities of Stout must have
known Of the caravan, including
the officials of the special bureau
established there for the suppress
sion Of of the slave trade; yet the
Information was only brought to
Cairo by Swiss gentleman total
ly unconnscted with the govern
ment. A General of Brigade was
sent to Stout with troops,
and he surrounded the slsvers'
camp by night and seized what re-
mained of the slaves. The tacit
countenance lent to the forbidden
traffic by all the local authorities
Of Stout is hardly more important

Asnt than Is the renewed use of

A PARIS authority on American
affairs tells the following truthful
story about an adventure that be-
fell the dancer Sangalli: "Once,
whenzthe manageress of travel
ing circus in the wilds Of Ohio, she
was suddenly attacked by band
Of savage Sioux Indians, led by
the redoubtable Sitting Bull.
Everybody fed and all was con-
sternation and despair, many per-
sons being drowned in the tenn
pestuous waves of the mighty Am.
azon. Suddenly this heroine
sprang upon an unsaddled horse,
rallied around her P. T. Barnum

and, with q revolver in hand, at
tackled and dispersed the murder

Great bells are now allowed to be
tolled in the Christian churches;
old Christian churches have been
restored and new ones built In Je.
rusalem, Nazareth, Tiberiss and
elsewhere. So also have a number
Of synagogues, especially in Jerusa-
lem, been built during these twen-
ty-five years. All this progress
must not be taken as a sign of any
laxity in religion on the part of
Mohammedans, who have during
this time built many new mosques
and otherwise shown themselves
as much attached to their religion
as ever. Justice, also, is much
more impartially administered,
and the old barbarous punishm ents
have been abolished. In Jerusa-
lem the Sanitary Department is in
charge Of German physician, and
building affairs are In the hands of
q German architect.

RUSSIA is fortifying her western
frontier with almost feverish haste
and at enormous cost. Kowno and
Lenczyea are waxing into strong
holds of extraordinary dimen siops
and strength. Kowno is destined
to serve at once as tho basis of pos
sible operations against East Prus-
sia, and as the ralIyiDg point for
resistance against any German in.
vasion from the frontier province.
1t is to consist of huge citadel, of
several forts crowning the sur
rounding heights, and of a tete-de-
pont covering the railway bridge
over the Nieman, and protecting
the three railway lines leading to
Wirbadlep, Warsaw and wilma.
Lenczyea will be made fortress
of the second class, and supersede
Zsmoss as one Of the "stropg
places' constituting the Polish
Quadrilateral. In Kieff the proyi-
sional works erected on the heights
commanding the Dneiper are be-
ing rapidly converted into massive
forts with stone escsrpments, and
Fort Lissshora is undergoing com.
plete reconstruction. To the de-
fence of Ivangorod five huge forts
are being added, two on the left
bank of the Vistula, and three on
the right bank of the Wieprz. Two
forts are In the course of constrne-
tion at Novo.Georgievsk. The cost
of the development given to the
inner defenJes of Brest-Lltowsk is

mates for 1881 at the sum of G4s,-
900. Magazines are to be erected
for the storing of 100000 pounds
of biscuit. and q bakery capable of
turning out 1900 pounds of bread
daily. 1t is proposed to complete
these gigantic preparations for a

The Rev. ]. S. Furnis, q Pres
byterian, is reported by the Phila-
delphia Times as informing his
congregation that hell is in the
blazing centre of the earth.
"Down in this place." he said, sis
q horrible noise. Listen to the tre-
mendous, the horrible uproar of
millions and millions of tormented
creatures, mad with the fury of
hell! Oh the screams of fear, the
groaps of horror, the yells of rage,
the cries of pain, the shouts of
agony, the sbrieks of despair from
millions and millions There you
hear them roaring like Hons, hiss
ing like serpents, bowling like
dogs, and waiting like dragons
There you hear the gnashipg of
teeth and the fearful blasphemIes
of the devils. Above all you hear
the roar of the thunder Of Gods
anger, which shakes hell to its
foundations" He described the In
mates of this hell as suffering. with
out moments cessation, the most
frightful tOrtures. The following
Is passage from the sermon:
"The roof is red.hot. The floor is
like thick sheet of red-hot iron.
See, on the middle of that red.hot
floor stauds girl. She has neith-

Listen ! She speaks. She says: 7

feet on this red-hot floor for years.
Sleep never came on me for a mo-
