CONFERENCE GOSSIP.

LONDON, June 23.-The official correspond
ence on the Egyptian question shows that
Bismarck informed the German ambassador
glish and French intervention in Egypt. be-
cause he believed that it would lead to a
disagreement and quarrels between France
and England, which, whatever might be said
OF his supposed policy, he would be glad to
see avoided.
Lord Granville, minister of foreign affairs,
in April suggested that England, France and
Turkey each send a general to Egypt to
restore discipline-in the army. France ob-
jected to the plan as dilatory, and as posi-
bly, leading to the sending of Turkish troops
on the sultan's own authority.
On the I'd of May the French government
suggested the sending of fleets, and agreed
that if they failed to effect decided object
that the calling in of Turkish troops by
France and England would be the least OBJ
jectionable form of armed Intervention.

A HARD WAY.

No one has ever 'scrossed the Rub
icon" from integrity and virtue to a
life of vice, without finding it path
of remorse and tears. Mr.. Moody
said truthfully in one of his plain
speeches, "There is not day passes
but you can read in the papers, The
way of the transgressor is hard. >"
You go to the tombs in New York
City, and you will find a little iron
bridge running from the police court,
where the men are tried and run right
into their cells.
I think the New York officials have
not been noted for their piety in
your time and mine, but they had
put up there in iron letters on the
bridge, "The way of the transgres-
sor is hard
They know that this is true. Blot
it out if you can. God has said it.
1t is true. "The way of the trans
gressor is hard"
On the other side of the bridge
they put these words, "a Bridge OF
Sighs."
I said to one of the officers, "What
did they put that up there for?"
He replied that most of the young
men for most of the criminals are
young men-as they pass over that
bridge go over it weeping. So they
call it the Bridge of Sighs.'
"What made you put that other,
The way of the transgressor is
hard
"Well," he said, Kit is hard"
think if you had anything to do will
prison life you would believe the
text, The way of the transgressol
is hard. '''-Once Month.

LIME-KILN CLUB SESSION.

Brother Gardner blew his nose
with a report which sounded like the
explosion of an Ohio river steamer,
gave his short collar lift which
made the stitches crack, and began
with:
''Bewar' of the pollytishun If he
am black, go outer yer way to shun
him. If he am white, lock yer doahs
an load yer shot guns.
The old man paused here to look
into his desk for a piece of slippery
elm, and Waydown took advantage
of the opportunity to rise and in
quire:
"Does de char refer to a white
man named Sekeer Jackson?''
Eyes, de char refers to dat VERY

At this moment the sound of a
wrangle was heard in the ante-room,
a struggle took place, and the voice
of Seeker Jackson was heard crying
out;
''Let go of my hair OF I'll call the
police. My platform is: three
dollars a barrel of -four, six hoops on
a barrel, ann a horse and carriage to

president, "mean, lynn, stealin',

neuralgia, paralysis and insanity.
Many person has died for want of
sleep, and the point where many
sufferer turns his feet from the very
gate of death to the open path of
life is where he sinks to sleep. Of
almost every sick man it may be said
as of Lazarus, eff he sleeps he will
do well" Another excellent medi-
cine is sunshine. The world requires
more of it, morally and physically.
1t is more soothing than morphine,
more potent than poppies. 1t is
good for liver complaints, for neu-
ralgia, for rheumatism, for melan-
choly-for everything. Make your
room sunny and cheerful; build
your houses SO as to command the
sunlight all day long.

A PROBLEM.

Sandy and Ned were brothers;
Ned was older than Sandy;
And they were busy dividing
A stick of peppermint candy.
Ned was earnestly trying
To make the division true,
And he marked the place with fish -hock,
Where the stick ought to break in two.
B ut, alas, for little Sandy
And his poor painstaking brother!
Twas long and short division
One piece longer than the other.
Ned gravey looked at the pieces
And their quite unequal length,
And he wrestled with the problem
With all his mental strength
And. at last, he said: ''Oh, Sandy
can make it come out right,
If take the piece that's longest,
And bite offjust one bite"
Their fond eyes beamed and frightened
At this plan so very handy,
Ofdisposing of the problem
And distributing the candy.
So Ned ate the pieces even
Twas the simplest way to do it;
And he cheated little Sandy
And they neither of them knew it.

LIFE I'm A MONTANA FRONT
Ter TOWN.

The following amusing description
of the mixed life of a frontier town,
is given in E. V. Smalley's third pa
per on "The New Northwest, which
is notable feature of the October
Century:
The picturesque features of life in
western Montana town like Mis-
soula are best seen as evening ap-
proaches. Crowds of roughly clad
men gather around the doors of the
drinking-saloons. A group of In
dians, who have been squatting on
the sidewalk for two hours playing
some mysterious game of cards of
their own invention, breaks up. One
of the squaws throws the cards into
the street, which is already decorat-
ed from end to end with similar rel
les of other games. Another swings
baby upon her back, ties a shawl
around it and herself, secures the
child with a stray buckled across her
chest, and strides off, her moccosined
feet toeing inward in the traditional
Indian fashion. She wears a gown
made of a scarlet calico bed-quilt,
with leggings of some blue stuff; but
she has somehow managed to get a
civilized dress for the child. They
all go off to their camp on the hill
near by. Some blue-coated soldiers
from the neighboring military post,
remembering the roll-call at sunset,
swing themselves upon their horses
and 60 galloping off, a little the
worse for the bad whiskey they have
been drinking in the saloons. A
miner in blue Woolen shirt and brown
canvass trousers, with a hat of as
tonishing dimensions and beard of
a years growths, trots up the street
on a mule, and with droll oaths and
shuff1ing talk, offers the animal for
sale to the crowd of loungers on the
hotel piazza. No one wants to buy,
and after provoking a deal of laugh
ter, the miner gives his ultimatum
''Pll hitch the critter to one of them
piazzer posts, and if he don't pull it
down you may have him." This
generous offer is declined by the
landlord; and the miner rides off,
declaring that he has not a solitary
four-bit piece to pay for his supper,
and is bound to sell the mule to
somebody.
Toward nightfall the whole male
population seems to be in the street.

two squaws, leading ponies heavily
laden with tent, clothes and buffalo
robes. A rope tied around a ponys
lower jaw is the ordinary halter and
bride of the Indians. These people
want to buy some article.at the sad
dler's shop. They do not go in, but
stare through the windows for five
minutes. The saddler. knowing the
Indian way of dealing, pays no at
tention to them. After a while they
all sit down on the ground in front
of the shop. Perhaps a quarter of
an hour passes before the saddler
asks them what they want. If he
had noticed them at first, they would
have gone away without buying.

Two CHEAP MEDIcINEs.-One of

it will remedy headache, it also cures

THE SAD RETURN.

came, but they had PASSED away
The fair in form-the pure in mind;
And like a stricken deer stray
When all are strange and none are kind.
Kind to the worn and weary soul,
That pants, that struggles, for repose;
OH that my steps had reached the goal
Where earthly sighs and sorrows closet
Years have passed o'er me like dream
That leaves no trace on memory's page;
look around ME, and I seem
Some relic of former age.
Alone, as in a stranger cline,
Where stranger voices mock my ear,
I mark the tagging course of time,
Without wish, hope, fear.
Yet had hopes, and they have fed;
And had fears, were all too tue:
My wishes. too, but they are dead;
And what have with life to do?
'Tis but to wear weary load,
l may not, dare not, cast away;
To sigh for one small, still abode,
Where I may sleep as sweet as they:
But soon the last dim morn shall rise
The lamp of life burns feebly now
When stranger hands shall close my eyes,
And smooth my cold and dewy brow.
Unknown l lived; so let me die; Gs
No stone, no monumental cross,
Tell where my nameess ashes lie,
Who sighed for gold. and found t--dross.
