CAIRo, December 3.-whe court
martial which had been summoned to
meet in Cairo to day assembled this
morning. Arab Pasha pleaded guilty
20 the charge of rebellion. The pro-
oeedings we're very brief, the court
lifting only a few minutes La the
afternoon the court relssembled and
pronounced sentence Of death against
Arabi, The Khedive subsequently
ommuted the sentence to exile for
life.
IL was announced that the prssecu-
ION committee yesterday decided to
.bandon all of the charges against
lrabi Pasha except that ofarmed re-
)%ellion. The committee c0mmuui
GATED its decision to Mr.. Broadley,
Ara0i's counsel, who consented, the
ccused being committed for trial
before the court martial without pro
nnging preliminary proceedings. The
charges, which we're framed under the
ottoman CODES. were having revolted
md refused to obey orders to cease
h revolt, and with having, 10 viola
ton Of the orders of the Khedive, re
used ~ disband the army. Arab was
rraigned at nine o'clock this morning
n the hall OF the old DAira building
Ranui Pasha, ex Governor of the
3oudan, presided. Sir Charles Wilson
satched the case on behalf Of Greal
Britain, but no counsel was present
or the Egyptian government. Arab
occupied a seat behind Mr.. Broadley
Nd the Hon Mark Napier. and was
the only prisoner present. The Pres
ident read tina charges and asked
he prisoner whether he would plead
guilty. Arab handed certain ptperr
to Mr.. BroadleJ, who thereupop
arose and stated that the accused
had voluntarily and in accordano,
with the advice Of his counsel. pleaded
ullty. There we're few persons pres.
ent AM these we're almost exclusively
Europeans. The proceedings occu
pied five minutes only. On the reas
sembl ne # the-court at three O'Clock
in the afternoon Riouf Pasta read
tne sentence, declaring that Arab,
having pleaded guilty the court had
no alternative but TO sentence him to
death. The Khedive subsequently,
commutel the sentence to exile for
lie. 1t is believed that Arab will
retire to some part Of the British do
ninions. His demeanor before the
court was diguifed The decree com
mu,inR the sentence says that Arab
will be aueuable to the sentence Of
death il he re-enters Egypt OF its
dependencies.
IL Is reported that Arab Pasha
will be sent to the Cape OF Good

il is said that the counsel for the
defense stipulated that the other CHIEF
prisoners should participate in the
compromise effected in the case Of
Arab Pasha.

The Lreal Engush Schools.

Ii is a curious fact that what are
known as the public schools in Eng
land owe their origin to minor aud
looll endorsements. Take for Ok
ample such schools as Harrow and
Rugby. These we're founded for the
benefit Of the young men living 10 the
towns in which the SCHOOLS are stu
ated. 10 neither case was it the iuten
ton OF theirpAtrons TO provide educa
tional facilities, except to a very
limited extent, to those who
lived beyond the borders Of
Harrow or Rugby. By de
grees this primary intention has
been wholly reversed. Those who
now attead these schools come from
all parts Of the United Kingdom, and
one effect of their presence has been
TO crowd out" so to speak. those
boys 10 the two towns who would
otherwise attend them. A certain
social caste has been acquired which
makes it exceedingly disagreeable for
boys TO enter these schools who do not
belong to families having a recognized
standing in society. This failure to
carry out the original wishes Of the
founder has been at Rugby 50 we'll
recognized that it is nov proposed 10
make a division in the fund, aud main
tain out Of it a local public school, as
well as Que open to scholars from all
parts Of the world. The endowment

sufficient fund for this double purpose.

changes have taken place in certain Of
the educational institutions in this
country. The Phillips Academy at
Andover WAS intended al the outset
to bea local high school, but for a mum.
Der Of years past the great majority Of
It's scholars have come from other
towns and cities throughout the New
England States.

MO Of story of an old farmer OF Erie
county, now dead, who at one time
took quito an active part in politics.
He had been houored with petty Offices
10 his own section, but had a longing
desire to figure as a county officer.
Accordingly one day he approached
one Of the leaders of his party, and
after a little introductory talk about
the crops and the weather. the con
versation soon dritted to the subject Of
politics. This gave the old man bis
chance, and soon he remarked:
DO you know, Mr.. -, my friends
have all been urging me for several
years to run for Sheriff. They say

party, but | don'tkooW. Now, I'm

No More Kisses Tor Cigarette
bmOkerA


"Rfns" In PhiladelphlA Timss.
You have made rather persistent
war on the cigarette smoker, but there
10 one point you have not made. The
young man who smokes cigarettes is q
most disgusting object tor = lady to
kiss. Several girls Of my acquaintance
and | agree with their action-have
concluded TO 90 all that we caa 10
discourage kissing on the part OF the
young men whose lips are poisoned
with cigarettes. Some of the girls
even 20 so far as to say that no young
man who smokes cigarettes shall ever
kiss them at all. Perhaps this is right,
but it is pretty hard TO have to give up
kissing altogether. There are some
young men, however, who do not use
cigarettes, and ell of US are going to
give them rs much announcement as is
consistent with true modesty We
shall like 1t q great deal better even il
the young men should not be
so handsome or have such nice mus.
taches When there are two young
men around and one OF them doesn't
smoke, you may safely conclude that
he is going to have the best time.
There are Jour or FIVE of Us who have
resolved TO agitate this question at
every opportunity, and We shall try to
organize a Free from Cigarette
Smokers Club" even if we never get
the kisses. We shall be glad to find
out whether the young men think
more of their cigarettes than they do
OF us. II 1t Is shown that they do we
shall probably take more rigid meas
ures. There must be enough cleanly
young men in this city TO go around,
and we arc anxious to have them come
forward and take the places into which
the offensive cigarette smoker has
thrust himself The cigarette smoker
must reform or atty out. | hope you
will print this, and that some other
girls will be induced to express them.

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
The Story Of the Planter who
BGiIt a Now Lonely Mansion
In Connecticut.

GRoToN, August 3O.-Before the
war Robert Stafford, a millionaire
planter, owned two islands off the
coast Of Georgia, which were noted
for the superior cotton they produced,
the famous Sea Island variety. On
the larger Of the two islands MI
Stafford lived. He fell in love with
a Creole girl, who was one of his
slaves, and married her. She was
educated and refined in manners. Six
children were the fruit OF the mar
riage. Two boys died in their youth.
Just before the breaking out of the
civil war Stafford, who noted the
gathering cloud, came North and built
a magnificent dwelling among the pas.
lures q few miles north of this village,
on the swelling bank Of the Thames
river. Then he returned to the
South, and thence sent his wife and
daughters to the Northern home.
Here they were surrounded by every
luxury. The interior Of the house
was very fine and the grounds we're a
triumph Of the gardeners skill.
Beautiful and rare plants and shrub.
berry diversified the rolling green of
the lawns, fountains played among
marble statues, and through the
grounds broad gravel walks wound up
10 the spacious verandahs. The adj
vent of the beautiful girls in New
London and Groton was an event that
is still fresh in the memory Of Con-
necticut society.
The girls received a fashionable
Northern education. Private tutors
taught them French, Italian, music,
painting, and the arts of the ball room.
They were reared in the most preten-
tious society, and suitors were not a
few. One sister married Fred Palmer,
Of New London. The union was not
a happy one, and q separation soon
followed. Another sister was welded
to Commodore Brady, Of New York.
The honeymoon was passed in Paris,
where the bride shdne as q society star
for a few months. Soon afterward the
couple we're divorced. The youngest
sister was married to a New York
gentleman, and is living happily with
her husband. Adelaide, another sis.

could only be regarded as an insult.
