Patti and Kellogg.

are the most bitterly jealous and altogether
ugly people toward each other that exist.
But this is not always so. The New Orleans
Picayune tells this pretty story Of two famous
women Now that Clara Louise kellogg 10 to
retire from the stage, the following incident
OF her first appearance may not be inappro-
pirate. Brignoli was at that time q favorite
tenor Of New York, and had consented to
sing at her debut, though expressing poor
opinion Of Americans as singers. They came
on together, and he was fully expected to
warble quite an installment of Italian affec-
tion at her. instead Of which he had arranged
with the orchestral gang, and he simply
chucked out couple of bars and came to a
dead stop. Kellogg had a velvet jacket on
her back, an oriental embroidered cap on her
head. and the worst stage fright on her face
one ever saw. She opened her mouth. The
venomous old big fiddle croaked loudly. all
the little fddles squeaked and one just heard
the faintest squeak out of Clara Louise. On
went the accompaniment, and the debutante
felt the ground slipping away from under her
feet. She got astray. She was sinking deeper
when from out an orchestra seat, three rows
away, came the strain she was struggling
with, clear, true, sweet as lark. That help
ing voice steadied her, gave her heart the
right key, the proper phrase. She looked, and
there she beheld Carlotta Patti half raised in
her seat, beating time with her little gloved
hand PATHS bright face was the beacon for
Kelloggs bark. And Kellogg took heart and
pitched in and sung out, and Carlotta fell
away when she could go il alone, having

his destitute appearance, and by this method
charming copper and silver coins from charit-
able pockets, he is in reality quite capitalist,

stored away in a savings bank, he owns a
large and productive farm near Fort Wash

over 200 acres in size, and on it there is a
well-arranged house and two amply stored
barns, containing cattle and agricultural i'm
plements. Adjoining the dwelling is stable
in which are sheltered three or four horses
belonging to the blind beggar of Seventh

wife's brother, and two of the blind mans
sons aid their uncle in the management of
the place. 1t is stated that when warm weather

The beetle of the plum curculio is of a
brown color, variegated with spots
of white, yellow and black, and is less
than one-fourth of an inch in length. 1t
has short, curved snout, which, when
disturbed, it can bend up under its breast.
and with legs drawn together, it may be
mistaken for knot or wart of limb. or
a dried bud. When the female is about
to deposit her eggs she makes a minute
cut in the fruit with her Jaws, then thrust
ing her snout into the'cut, enlares it suffi-
ciently for the reception of an egg; turn
ing around she drops an egg into the open
ing, which she afterwards thrusts to the
bottom of the cut with Ter snout. Each
female can deposit from five to ten day.
The egg in time produces "grub" which
causes the fruit to fall while immature.
When it has completed its larval life it
leaves the fruit and burrows into the
ground, where it remains for about three
weeks, and then energies in the beetle
form. 1t hibernates through the winter
under leaves, sticks. or in any sheltered
place, and comes forth to its work of de-
struction in May or June.

When the summer drouths arrive keep
an eye on the water supply of your pas
ture. Oftentimes the water will fail un-
noticed and your stock will suffer in con-
sequence. To keep stock in pasture
where there is not an abundance of good
wholesome water Is not only cruelty to
the animals, but it is also Improbable for
the owner. Therefore one of the essen
tials of good pasture is living spring
of pure water. Water contaminated with
decaying vegetable matter or other impur-
tiles, should be discarded entirely, espec-
tally if milch cows partake of it, for it is
well known that such water if drank by
cows is oftentimes injurious to the quality
of their products.

The "Timcs' Om the War
iD Egypt.

The campaign has now reached a
point from which it is easy to under
stand its past history and explain
some Of its peculiar features. There
is one fundamental difference between
it and European wars generally in
this resrcct-that, whether we take
the Austro-Prussian or the Franco
German, or to q less extent, the Rus
so-Turkish wars, we see that one side
or the other, generally both, had been
expecting the struggle for some time
and preparing for it. Nearly all the
difficulties which our troops have
%countered have been due to the fact
that the war was not designed long
ago and that u preparations had to
be made hurriedIy on the spur of the
moment. For this reason events
marched faster than we were prepar-
ed to follow them, and, to the chagrin
Of all true soldiers, this is certainly
and inevitably the case in all Eng
lish wars. We were more ready for
this Egyptian campaign than for any
other in the recollection of the pre-
sent generation, but very i'll prepared
indeed compared with what we
might be and ought to be This will
always be the case so long as the idea
is allowed TO prevail that there never
is likely to be any hurry, and that
England may safely leave all details
of war preparations till the last
moment, when the officials at head
quarters are nearly driven out of their
senses by pressure of work, 1t is

sions, and immense pains, has been and
still is the scene of an untoward struggle
between Turkish and Greek troops. AS to
the facts of the case, there is as yet consi-
derable uncertainty. For some weeks
there have been signs of an impending col
liSion, and many days ago it WAS announced
from Athens that the Turkish troops5 were
" threatening, y and that Greece must
hasten to put herself in a proper state Of
defence. ReintOrcementS were sent, or
were promised, from Athens, and consider
able excitement prevailed both there and
III the garriS0nS. Our COuStantinOple
Correspondent gives two alternative ac-
counts OF tae skirmlSh which has now
been going on for three days. The Turks
maintain that the Greeks took advantage
OF the moment when the Turkish troops
were being changed 10 occupy certain dis
puted points, and thatin resisting them the
Turkish commander was but acting on the
defensive. The Greek account is that the
Turkish soldiers violated Greek territory,
and that they, the Greeks, were only
doing there duty in attempting to drive
them off. The point Of collision is near
KaraIik-Deryend the point at which, ac-
cording to the Treaty of Defamation, the
new frontier was to begin. We do not
hear of any great losses, but the fact of
a collision having taken place and having
gone on so long without interruption is OF
itself serious enough.
1t is too early to predict whether the
breach Of the peace will have gave con-
sequences. 1t may be, and we sincerely
hope it is, a case of local irritation that
will not affect the two Governments, and
that Will be stopped by a mere change in
the personnel of the forces employed ON the
frontier. But is is idle to disguise the
fact that the occurrence gives some ground
for alarm. The nations of SOUTHEASTERN
Europe are, as has often been said, a bun
die of shayin2s which easily catch fire.
Hidden ambitions are everywhere, and
there is many an intriguing hand which
is ready for any opportunity of tanning
any spark into a flame. With troubles in
Egypt and troubles on her own frontier,
Turkey Is in an anxious position and her
difficulty is, as we know well, tho oppor-
tunity of a host Of enemies. But it may
still be hoped that the occasion is not Il
as would give an opening to the restless
ness of interested persons. There is
enough disturbance as it is, without any
fresh elements being added. 1t is not
only to our interest that the war in Egypt
should be localized it is to the interest OF
Turkey and of Europe. 1t is to be hoped
that the efforts which the Ambassadors at
C0mStantinople will make to this end will
be at once successful, and that the from
tier fight will have no important conse-
