Internal Revenue bill that will, if adopted,

of 20 per cent levied on all sugars by act Of
March Sd, 1875; to adopt the Mckinley
amendment imposing the same duty on
every article of which hoop iron Is its chief
component part as is now paid on hoop iron;

On the Banks of the Nile.

Perhaps, says the London Daily News,
the most striking idea of the effort of the
Nile water is obtained from standing on
the summit of the Great Pyramid of
Geezah. The pyramid stands on the des-
ert, but close to the cultivated soil-the
cultivated soiTzin this case means the
land which has been covered by the in
uDdation Of the great river. To the
height which its waters have reached the
color is green from vegetation; where 1t
has not touched is desert. So distinct is
he line of green with the buff colored
sand that looking down from the pyra-
mid it seems as if you could put one foot
on the cultivated and another on the un-
irrigated ground. The sharp, defined
edge of weli-kept lawn and gravel
path will picture the state of the case to
the mind of any one. Gazing on thiT
from the pyramid-can be seen as far as
an eye can reach to the north and south
the Importance of the Nile water is rea-
liked. AS high as the inundation rises
there is growth and cultivation; food for
man and beast is produced; where the
water has not moved on the surface there
is the desert sterile and bare, and with a
hot, monotonous sun glazing everywhere.
The essential cause of Egypt's greatness
in the past is realized as well as the con-
tinued political Importance of the coun-
try to our own times.

LABOR REFORM IN ENGLAND.

Mr.. Jacob Holyoake, one of the
wisest and most prudent of the leaders
of the working classes In England, has
come to this country to endeavor to per-
suade the government to issue some sort
of guide book for the use of immi-
grants, setting forth the peculiarities
and resources of every section of the
Union. In the meanwhile he is at work
on such book to be published on his
own responsibility. With this end in
view, he will visit the various cities OF
the country III search of facts and statis-
tics. To enable him to pursue the work
Mr.. Gladstone has granted an allowance
of $500, which will be increased to
81, $50, and Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson
has sent him a check for $500. Touch
ing the condition of the working classes
in England, Mr.. Holyoake says that
everywhere they command greater con-
sideration than formerly. Employers
are solicitous about the welfare of their
hands, the hours of labor have been
shortened through the exertions of
trades unions; more freedom of action
is conceded on Sundays, and the custom
of early closing on Saturday prevails;
industrial partnerships between employ
ers and labore1s are multiplying, and
rates of wages have advanced. "Politi-
cal candidates." says Mr.. Holyoake,
"show an increased regard for working
men. In towns where there are two
liberals returned there is an increasing
demand that one or the other shall be
representative of the working classes.
The few representatives they have in
parliament are listened to respectfully"
among the reforms at which the work.
ing classes in England aim this repre-
sentative working man names the i'm
provement of the land laws, the aboli-
ton of the game laws, the abolition of
the laws of prlmogeniture and entail,
and the abolition of a hereditary peer
age. In this opinion there is rapid
growth of republican sentiment in Eng
land which will lead to peaceful revo-
linton
