The egyptian Shell.

A Shell fired by the Egyptians is said
by an official report to have passed a
few feet over Sir Garnet Wolseley's head,
and then taken off the leg of horse
only ten yards behind him. A stickler
for accuracy has been ciphering over
the story. Allowing that the head of
the General ON horseback was nine feet
from the ground, that the shell passed
three feet higher, and that the horses
leg was struck two feet from the ground,
the trajectory of the shell would show
fall of ten feet in fight of thirty feet.
Calculating the speed of the shell from
these data, it viii he found that it
required five-eighths of a second to travel
thirty feet a velocity insufficient to take
off the horses leg.

MEMORY.

. Memoryl flower of rarest scent and hue
That groweth in souls garden, why, oh why
Art thou the first TO wither, fade and die?
Why is it that the Gardener, passing through
The wealth of other flowers, fresh with dew,
Still blooming with rare beauty by the way,
Must needs pause at thy withered leaves, and
say,
" Here once, but now no longer, Memory
grew"
All gentle Memory, yet thou art not dead,
But only sleeping till the Spring when.
In kinder cline, thou bloomest once again;
bulb, that, planted in the flower-bed,
Bringeth sweet blossoms priced by God and men
When the harsh storms of Winter-time have
fed. EDWARD w. HUBBARD.

Our Macon contemporary has aban-
doneG its advocacy of protective tariff
long enough to publish over a column
article in opposition to the plan of Gen
eral Alexander to issue to the stockhold
ers of the Central Railroad income bonds
based on the earnings of the Ocean
Steamship Company to the extent of Al
per cent. of their stock. The trouble is,
however, that our contemporaries article
comes out just about six weeks too late.
1t might have had some effect in infuenc
ing the votes of the stockholders had ii
been published before those votes were
cast, but now the deed is done. ''The
Alexander ticket" has been elected, and
on the 9TH of next month Directors of
the Ocean Steamship Company favorable
to General Alexander's scheme will be
chosen by the present Directors of the
Central. This is so far an assured fact
that during the interval between the
adjournment of the Board of Directors,
on the Sd instant, and the period for the
election of the new Board of Directors
of the Steamship Company, General Alex
ander has been in New York isy getting
up the proposed bonds, and " learn that
the form of the bond has already been
decided on. To oppose the scheme at
this late date. therefore, is like locking
the stable door after the horse has been
stolen.

AppOrtIOnment of COngT ,iOnal
Representatives.

hCPA CSOA AnNANNo'
The telegraph informs us this morn
ing that the bill of Mr.. McCoid, of
Iowa, regarding the apportionment OF
Congressional Representatives under the
new census has been reported formally
to the House. There is no time to be
lost in acting on this measure, for the
sessions of many of the State Legisla-
lures are rapidly drawing to a close. In
a number of the States there will be
neither increase nor diminution of rep
resentation, and in such States there
would be no necessity for changing the
boundaries of the present districts, and,
therefore, it is unimpOrtant to them
whether early action is taken or not
But, we see it stated in a Washington
special that in all the States where the
new apportionment either increases or
decreases the representation, unless the
Legislatures have the opportunity to re-
district, their whole membership of the
House or Representatives would nave 10
be elected on the general State ticket.
This would be liable to create a remark.
able condition of affairs, and in the case
of doubtful States, like New York, In
diana and Ohio, would result in such an
exciting canvass rs would be without pre-
cedent. 1t would be prize worth fight
ing for by the two parties to secure solid
delegation in the House from such great
States. 1t is probable, however, that if
the time is at all sufficient in advance of
the election of members of the House
next fall, the Legislatures will be
brought together in extra session to re
district the States.

FACTS ABOUT UMBRELLAS.

Antiquarians say that the umbrella was in
vented shortly after the food, and has been the
least improved upon Of all appliances for human
comfort, the shape being now as it was in those
youthful days of the world. An umbrella Is
much like pigeon as to the question of posses
siOn-the last one who gets it owns it. The fol-
lowing facts about umbrellas-especially the last
one-may serve every reader a splendid purpose
sooner or later: To place your UMBRELLA in rack
indicates that it is about to change owners. An
umbrella carried over a woman, the man getting
nothing but drippngs Of the rain, indicates court
ship. When the man has the umbrella and the
woman the drippings, it indicates marriage. To
carry it at right angles under your arm signifies
that an eye is to be lost by the man who follows
you. TOput a cotton umbrella blythe sideOfanice
silk one signifies that " exchange is no robbery
To lend an umbrella signifies that i" am fool"
To carry an umbrella just high enough to tear
out men eyes and knock off mems hats, signifies
" l am a woman" To go without an umbrella
in a rain-storm shows am sure of getting rheu-
matism, and will have to use ST. JACOBS OIL to
get we'll" To keep a fine umbrella for your own
use and a bottle of ST. JACOBS OIL always in the
house, in case of rheumatism or accident, would
signify that you are real philosopher.

herein presented both argument
and statistics sufficient to satisfy

an oppressive burden upon the many for
