little on yourself, and learn more Of Il

European ascendency, declares that
this claim must not be conceded.
The Notables submitted their scheme.
to the Prime Minister on Wednesday,
and no formal decision has yet been
given. 1t is believed that Cherif
PaSha will reject the scheme, but this
depends in part upon the Army. If
the Army supports the NotabIes,
Charit will resign, and Arab Bey
Will then be virtually master of Egypt
and the Treasury will be at his mcr-
cv. In this event, England and
France will be compelled to decide
ut once, and clearly, whether they
will Withdraw the Controllers aud
cease from interference, or whether
they will Insist that the KhediYe shall
control his Army, In the first case,
the Protectorate is at an end in the
second, they must afford the khedive
direct military support. The situa-
ton can scarcely be prolonged many
days.
The ConstantinopIe correspondent
Of the Times publishes an elaborate
account OF the PaniSlamic project,
which now engrosses the mind of the
Sultan. The statement comedies ok
actIy with the beliefs we have for
some time past expressed but the
writer thinks that in Egypt and along
the South Mediterranean the Sultan
has completely won the game. The
Egyptians adhere to him, out of
hatred Of the Control; and the Moors,
who were formerly u~northodox ON
the subject, out OF fear of France.
The effect Of this adhesion, be says,
is that although the Sultan cannot
build mp a NussuIman empire, he can
excite instructions wherever Nahom-
medans are numerous,-in Egypt,
Tripoji, Tunis, and possibly even
India. 1t must not, however, be
FORGOTTEN. that this is an extremely
dangerous game to play, that England
and France can strike straight at
Corstantinople, and that on the .ap-
pcarancc Of a combined feet in the
DardaneIIes, the Arabs would pro-
claim their own KhaIif. The present
Sultan, though obviously a much ADLER
maa han his predecessors, and fully
aware where his strength lies, is not
Il bold man. and he is surrounded by
statesmen whose one dea is to live
safe and luxurious lives in CONSTANT
noplo. To succeed in his project, he
should go to Damascus.

Sir Thomas Acland, in an inter-
estinc address delivered on occasion
of distributing the prizes to the Sci
enco and Art classes at I~lfracombe,
on November 30th in last year,
which has just been published, in
Sists ON the fact that agriculture as an
art had, in England, till lately, very
far outstripped the science of agri-
culture, which is V now considera-
bly, in arrear of the practical art,
though rapidly gaining upon it. GA
very considerable chemist, whom we
have lately lost, the second Sir Ben
iamin Brodie, remarked to me, aquar-
ter of a century ago, that the farming
of England was a long way ahead of
the science of agricultural chemistry
and that it would take half a century
for the science to catch the practice.
Well, one quarter of a century has
passed, and although certainly science
is gaining on its predecessor, yet [
am not sure that it will win the race
before the halEcentury is over" Sir
Thomas, if we mistake not, does not
think that the South Kensington teach
ing of Scientific agriculture, ia as yet
very efficient, though he tells of a
class of fVmer's sons, in North De-
Won, who aHe learning to some advan-

A Gallant Deed Rewarded.

WASHINGTON. December 26 The Re-
publican will publish an item tomorrow
to the effect that Colonel Riley, of Yir.
ginia, will receive by the will OF Colonel
Preston, of England, recently dead, q
legacy of SIS 600. Colonel Riley was
appointed by General Grant United
States Consul to Zanzibar, and on the
steamer on which be crossed the Atlantic
en- route to his post he made the ac-
qnaintance of Colonel Preston, of the
British army, and his son, little curly
headed boy Of about elk years, whose
bright and winning ways made him the
PIT of all on board. One day the little
fellow fell overheard and Colonel Riley,
who WAS an expert Swimmer, sprang
overheard and held the child up until q
boat could be lowered away, when both
were rescued and safely returned 90
bosrl ship. Colonel Preston was deeply
mpred.and assured The gallant rescuer
that lie should never forget the noble
act. 10 the lapse OF time the incident
asd almost passed out OF Colonel RiIey's
memory until reminded by notice of the
legacy how deep an impression it had
made upon the fathers gratitude.
