Mr.. Childers expects that the troops

ed and complete.
This Is q parstively cheerful

weeks past the heads of the War
Office, civil and military, have work
ed night and day to put the little
army on the best possible footing.
Nothing appears TO have been neg
lected that could conduce to the
comfort of all concerned. Even
now there will be no undue haste:
and whenever regiment is sent Of
everything will be spick and span
and in perfect order, from the more
elaborate needs and requirements of

Nowadays we provide our armies

well clothed and well fed, along a

Yesterday morning the Queen
paid = special visit to Portsmouth
for the purpose of taking farewell of
the officers and men who are pro-
ceeding in the "Catalouia" for Egypt.
The visit was semi-private, as, In
deed, most of Her Malesty's visits TO
Portsmouth are; for ever since the
death of the Prince Concert the
Queen has dispensed with the firing
of royal salutes at the naval ports.
Her stay lasted half an hour, during
which time the officers OF the regi-
ment were presented, and Her Maj
esty inspected not only the saloon
and officers quarters, but also the
accommodation on the middle and
lower decks,

A short Chapter on BoiIs.
What is a boil ?

What Is boil Z
A boil is a painful globular
excresence appearing on the human
body without respect of person, ma
tionality or previous condition oI
servitude.
Has boil any particular hygen-
ic value?
Yesl 1t draws from the system
much impure matter which would
otherwise cause nausia and general
physical debility, and the result is
that persons recovering from boils
are peculiarly bright and active
both mentally and physically, and
remain so a long time. Does the
appearance of boils on a person
denote that said person is diseased,
or in weak ailing condition? Nol
They are oftenest found on persons
of extremely healthy habits and TO-
bust constitution, and may be re-
garded as natural vents for slight
impurities that must sooner or later
creep into all healthy bodies despite
redundant vitality and unimpaired
force. The Republican party is a
healthy, vigorous body. 1t possess
es redundant vitality, and exhaust
less force there is not about il the
slightest suspicion of disease it is
undoubtedly brainy and large mind
ed, and by honest labor and careful
forethought it does not sit in sack
cloth and luxuriate on pretzels and
weis beer, but can occasionally, even
in these high priced times, afford
tenderloin steak and does not growl
because butter is forty cents a
pound. But the Republican party
is troubled with a boil, and the
trouble with this boil is that it I'M
agines itself the Republican party,
and insists on poulticing itself.
Now, as every healthy body must
have some slight taint about it, we
are philosophical enough to be
grateful for that boil. The fact Is
we feel better already for it. 1t has
drawn from us little useless mat
ter that might have made us un-
comfortable. 1t is not large boil
but it is the nature of even small
boils to grow red and angry and
make a fuss entirely disproportion-
ed to their size and importance.
In this they are ike corns, only
corns last longer and are much more
respectable nuisances. The original
inventor of boils was the devil who
tried to spit out a mean spite on a
good man named Job. They both
cred Job a little at first but he scrap
ed them off with q piece of poetry,
and wrote poetry much better than
the Philadelphia Times doggerel's
and Job did not die but got well
and had children, and owned cam
els, and bossed the primitive Ara
bians and Arab Pasha.
The devil has Il spite against the
Republican party. He has sent 1t
a boil. But the Republican party
is ike Job, it will not quarrel with
its boil, it will only poultiee it, and
use Beaver oil and Beaver salve.
The boil viii be cured early in No
veTnber

CroyEding the Mule

Uncle Ike was one day riding a
mule and had a little negro boy be-
hind him.
Tell you what, INK Ike, possum
mighty good thing" said the boy.
''Yas, it is, said Uncle Ike, as the
mule struck 4 brisk trot.
Specially when you got lots o.
gravy wild him."
Uncle Ike was silent, but he SEEM
ed restless.
"And den when you git some
roasted 'taters for TO sop in de gra-

Uncle Ike used his whip with ner-
vous energy, and the mule increased
his speed to a gallop.

LONDON LETTER
rom our Regular Correspondent.
LONDoS, Eng, Aug. :,

LoNDoS, Eng, Aug. :, 1882.
Practically there is not any oppo-
sition in Parliament TO the present
Egyptian war, and, consequently,
the vote Of credit for two million
three hundred thousand pounds,
required for strengthening forces in
Egypt. was agreed to by 2l5 to -.
The Secretary Of State for War, after
consultation with Sir Garnet Wolse-
lev and other competent authorities,
believes that sum to be sufficient for
q three months campaign; and it is
not expected that the task of crush
ing Arab Pasha will take longer
than the time specified. On the
other hand, should the calculation
prove below the mark, the Govern
ment may easily appeal to the
House of Commons for more funds.
Beside suppressing the present re-
bellion against the Khedive, Eng
land will take care that Egypt shall
cease 10 be a military power except
for the defence Of her own borders.
An Egyptian army has been the
prolific source of native troubles for
many years past. Such elaborate
precautions have been taken for the
safety and comfort of the troops,
that the expedition has been for
warded without a hitch. England
will be able to put forty thousand (
men into the field, leaving an ade-
quate reserve behind. Without be-
ing coddled, the troops are TO be
made very comfortable. In sick
ness and in health their welfare will 4
be looked after with an almost ten
der solicitude, which was unknown /
TO the ragged, shoeless, patriot hordes I
with whom Bonaparte conquered
Egypt under the Directory.
Sanitation has not been neglected.
The wounded viii find in the hos
pitals most of the comforts OF home,
and the soldiers on active duty are
to have the right kind of clothing
for a hot climate, and tents of the
latest and best pattern. An ade-
auate amount of regimental trans
port will accompany every regiment
and all ranks have been carefully
considered on paper. So apparent
lv convinced are the Government of
being able to get through the BUSH
iness within the time mentioned,
that the changes in command at

FOOTSTEPS OF ANGELS.
BT LoNGFELLoW

When the hours of day are numbered
And the voices Of the night
Wake the bitter soul that siumbered
To holy, calm delight
Ere the evening lamps are lighted,
And, like phantoms grim and tall.
Shadows from the fitful fire light
Dance upon the parlor wall.
Then the forms OF the departed
Enter at the open door.
The beloved ones. the true hearted,
Come to visit me once more
He. the young and strong, who cherished
Noble longings for the strife,
By the roadside fell and perished,
Weary with the march of life
They, the holy ones and weakly,
Who the cross of suffering bore,
Folded their pale hands so meekly,
Spake with Us on earth no more
And with them the being beauteous
Who unto my youth was given,
More than all things else to love me,
And is now saint in Heaven.
With a slow and noiseless foOtstcp
Comes that messenger divine.
Takes the vacant chair beside me.
Lays her gentle hand in mine.
And she sits and gazes at me
With those deep and tender eyes,
Like the stars, 50 still and saint-like.
Looking downward from the skies
Uttered not, yet comprehended,
Is the spirits yoiceless prayer,
Soft rebukes, in blessings ended.
Breathing from her lips of air.
o, though oft depressed and lonely
All my fears are Laid aside,
If but remember only
such as these have lived and died

How 10 Preserve Flowers.

Flowers NAV be preserved in a fresh
state for a considerable time by keeping
them in moist atmosphere. Those who
love to see plenty oil fresh flowers in their
parlors or si,tingrooms will be gratlied
by adopting the following plan: Pour
water into flat porcelain or glass dish.
Set a vase of flowers in the dish. and over
it place bell glass, with its rim in the
water. The air which surrounds the flow
ers, being confined beneath the bell glass,
is kept continually moist with the water
which rose with it in the form of vapor
As fast as the water is condensed it runs
down the sides of the bell glass back iato
the dish; and il means were taken to en-
close the water on the outside of the bell
glass, so as to prevent its evaporating into
the air of the sitting room, the atmosphere
around the flowers would remain continu-
ally damp. Those who wish to Ginger
on the beauty OF n rare flower or bouquet
will be repaid by this experiment. 1t can
be tried on Il small scale by inverting Il
tumbler over II rosebud in Il saucer OF
water.

work was done, and the poor woman kept
her word. Talk of sodierly courage, This
