He Wasn't Aesthetic.

The present passion for certain wild
flowers is being carried to extremes
There is nothing Objectionable, to be
sure, about certain features of it, such
as, for instance, the action of Il certain
lady who has for several summers
amused herself by scattering primrose
seeds in the woods and scmi-wild
places, with the result that colonies of
plants have been established. But the
conduct of certain other fair ones, this
season, who were in love with the daisy
and freely scattered its seeds in the
pastures and beside the brooks which
they encountered during their country
soiourn was very properly rebuked by
farmer who saw them engaged in this
pleasing toll. "'Good gosh ~ said the

The Arkansas Election.

The Arkansas election was not in all
respects a model, although perhaps
upon the whole better than its recent
predecessors. From some places come
reports of good order and free voting
by negroes, but in other sections there
was more or less violence and BULLDOG
ing, and a specially fragrant case oc-
CURED at Helena. During Monday
night the courthouse, used as the
principal voting place, was taken pos
session of and barricaded by demo-
Gratis, who in the morning filled vacan-
cies on the board of judges before
opening the polls, in defiance of law,
and then managed apparently with a
view to fraudulent returns. Ballots
were taken in through hole i'll a door
so arranged that the voters could not
see what became of them, and num-
bering arrangement, intended to pre-
vent fraud, ingeniOusly evaded. This
last move had been foreseen by the re-
publicans, and was met with the use of
''coupon tickets" by the aid of which
a complete record of their voting was
kept, and the appearance of this device
caused an outbreak. Democrats seized
the white republicans who were dis
tributing tickets and directing matters,
beat them and took the ticket-coupons
away, and then a number rushed
among the crowd of 1000 negroes with
pistols drawn and so frightened the
blacks that they fled. This was but
an hour after the polls were opened,
and very few had voted. The negroes
did not return, few voted in other pre-
cincts, and the republican managers
abandoned the contest. The special
reason for the outrage seems to have
been the fact that the district was
strongly republican. Gov. Churchill
had declared himself anxious for Il fair
vote for the good name of the state, in
good faith it is thought, and the repub-
licans had been assured by local demo-
Gratis that there would be no trouble.
In previous years the certainty of viO-
lence had prevented republicans i'll the
county from even putting up the tick
ct, the democrats were plainly deter
mined that one should not be elected
this year, and they openly Justify their
action by referring to abuses of repub-
lican management in carpet bagging

Facts About Egypt.

The nominal ruler of Egypt is the
khedive pronounced Cadeev, with
the accent on the second syllable. The
word means nearly the same as king.
The title was conferred in lS66 10y an
imperial tirman, or decree, of the Sui
tan of Turkey.
The Sultan is Suzcrain of Egypt.
That is to say, while Egypt is indie
pendent i'll its government, it owes
service and tribute to the Sultan. The
rights granted may be revoked. The
situation of Egypt with respect to Tur-
key is not very unlike the relation of
Canada to Great Britain.
The first Khedive was Ismail Pacha.
Pacha is otherwise spelled pasha,
pashaw and bashaw. 1t is pronounced
with the accent on the last syllable. 1t
means governor. but is title which is
frequently conferred upon men who
are not governors, such as sons of the
Khedivc, generals and cabinet minis
tiers.
Bey is lower title than pacha, but
also means governor. 1t is pronounced
bay. 1t is sometimes spelled "bcg,"
but the pronunciation is the same.
The SONS of pachas are called beys.
The famous minister of war is Arab
Pacha. Both as in Arabi's name are
like in far, the is short, as in big.
and the accent is on the second sylla-
BILE.
The preseLt Khedive is Tewtiik
pronounced as it is SPELLED few like
eau in beauty, with the accent on the
first syllable. He is the eldest son of
Ismail, the first Khcdive, who was de
posed in 1879 by the Sultan. He is
grand nephew of Mehemet Ali, who
was the first ruler of Egypt under the
suzerainty of Turkey.
The present troubles have grown
largely out of money questions. Stated
in the briefest possible way, this is the
state of the case: The former Khcdive
was enormously eXtravagant, and in
CURED IA grievous foreign debt. A
large part of the debt was incurred in
the construction of the Suez canal.
Being unable to pay the interest, the
| Khedive was forced to put the man
agement of his financial affairs into
the hands of English, French and Ger
man officers, in order to assure the
bOndholders abroad as much interest
as possible.
There is no doubt that Egypt, pOOI
country ut best, was plundered out
rageOusly by horde of foreign officers
who came in with the financial minis
ters. Tewfik succeeded to this bad
system. Being the creature of the for
eign governments, he was subject to
their will.
Arab became minister of war. In
process of time he became IA represent
ative of native Egyptians, who disliked
the foreigners and desired to restore
government. At the demand Ot
England and other powers he was dis
missed, as being dangerous to their in
! tereSts.
The army, which was favorable tC
him, demanded his restoration, and
threatened Tewfik with revolution un-
less he yielded, and he restored Arab

Up salt River.

The explanation of the term Cup
Salt River" opens up very interesting
hit of Ohio river pioneer history. Pro
fessor Schele DeNere gives the origin
of the phrase in his book called Gamer
icanisms the English of the New
World" Before the day of steam all
navigation of the Ohio river was car
ried on by flatbOats or keelboats. 1t
was necessary to row the keelboats up
stream. The labor was painful and
exhausting. There were slaves along
the Kentucky side of the river i'll those
days. When a negro had been refrac-
tory or ''sassy" it was the custom to
punish him by hiring him out to row
up the river. This punishment was
called rowing up" in time it became
the popular slavery term for a scOlding
or punishment of any sort all over the
country. much as the term to elbow
up is applied nowadays. Professor
DeVere quotes this sentence from the
New York Herald of May Z, 1856, awe
hope the President gave his secretary
a rowing up for his imbecility.n
Salt river was and is a little tributa-
ry of the Ohio, in Kentucky. 1t was
so crooked and dangerous that rowing
keelbOat up its waters was about the
hardest labor man could undertake
Hence to row man up Salt river wa:
as severe il punishment as could he
imposed on him. The expression be
came prOverbial. One day on the fool
of Congress, member from Kentucky
made use of the phrase i'll a happy al
lusion. The expression was thence
crystallized in the popular speech o
the country. From that day to this
the person or party that has been bad
ly defeated in an election, is sent N
Salt River.

Narrow Escape From u Snake

At Fargo, Dakota, recently, just af-
ter the close of circus performance, a
huge boa constructor and python made
their escape from their cage, and, not
having been fed for two or three days,
seized upon young camel and crush
ed it TO death in an instant. One of
them went for beautiful Indian ante
lope and would have killed it in a mo-
ment, but a number of circus men came
to the rescue with pitchforks and goads
and drove the serpent into IA corner.
Jennie Hickey. the young girl who acts
as snake charmer, and has charge of
the monsters, was summoned and
struck the largest snake twice with her
whip. He darted furiOusly at her.
twirled himself around her, and in a
second or two would have crushed her
in his coils, as he had the baby camel,
but with great presence of mind she
drew long, keen knife she always
carries for such emergencies, and cut
the huge reptile in two. 1t was mar
row escape, and the girl was greeted
with a round of applause when she
came into the ring later.

Into all lives some rain must fall,
Into all eyes some tear-dTOps start,
Whether they fall a gentle shower,
Or fall like fire from aching heart
Into all hearts some sOrrow must creep,
Into all hearts some doubling come,
Lashing the waves oflfe's great deep
From the ripping water to seething foam.
Over all paths some clouds must lower,
Under all feet some sharp thOrns spring,
Tearing the flesh 10 bitter wounds,
Or entering the heart with their bitter sting,
Upon all sorrows rough winds must blow.
Over all shoulders a cross be lain,
Bowing the form in its lofty height
Down to the dust in its cruel pain.
Int all hands some duty thrust,
Unto all arms some burden given,
Crushing the heart with its dreary weight
Or lifting the soul from earth to heaven.
Unto all hearts and homes and lives
Gods dear sunshine comes streaming down,
Gliding the ruins of lifes great plan,
Weaving for all golden crown.

the Sultan, and he told Mr.. Bennett
that he thought it would be good
time to interview him on the war in
Egypt. Mr.. Bennett thought so, too
but how was it TO be done? "Leave
that to me,r said Gen. Wallace.
The Sultan, it must be known, is one
of the most ardent admirers of America
and everything American. Gen. Wal
lace told him that the proprietor of the
biggest paper in America was lying of
Constantinople in his yacht. His Sc
rene highness had heard of the Herald
and of Mr.. Bennett, and he expressed
desire to see him and talk with him
