aiming at securing the right to inter
vene alone. OF course, it makes a
decent show of resistance before ac-
cepting the minor role which is all
that the Powers are prepared to offer
il !; but the resistance is not real, or
likely to be long continued. A long
course Of training has taught Turkey
the wisdom of accepting the half loaf,
and she would be departing very far
from her traditions if she were to
refuse to supply the gendarmerie Of
which we spoke yesterday, on the
ground hat she might have been
asked to send an army. The inter
esting despatch from our Paris Cor
respondent this morning shows that
French opinion still entertains a ve-
hement objection to a real "~interven-
ton" on the part Of Turkey, and that
if things come to the worst strong
efforts will be made to carry out M.
Gambatta's plan of landing English
an French troops. It is to be hoped
and from the look OF affairs to-day
We may say that it is probable, that
the necessity for even seriously con-
sidering such a step will not ARISE.
If it is true that Arabs summons to
the reserves is a failure, he will hard
ly dare to fight, and from what we
know of the ieIIaheer, and of their
real feelings towards the Control and
towards Arlbi, the reports of their
mwilIingress to serve are just what
might have been expected.

The TimCsO ON the Egyptian Crisis.
(FrOm the SPECTATOR.

It is expected that the combined
squadrons viii reach Alexandria to-
day, az May) and meanwhile great
interest attaches to what is proceeding
in Cairo. There is no lack ofinforma-
ton on tie subject, though unfortu-
nately it does not form a perfectly con
sistent body. On the one hand, we
are told that 'great excitement al
" most amounting to panic, continues
to prevail there has been a gener-
al exodus Of ladies and their fami-
" lies to Alexandria," On the other
hand, a message sent yesterday by
Sultan Pasha, the President Of the
Chamber, gives the rose coIoured
view Of things which is commonly
put in circulation by those who have
Just been parties to a patched-up
peace. "The differences which ex-
" listed between the Khedive and his
" Ministers have completely disap-
peared," says Sultan Pasha; tive are
all of one mind to maintain repose
i" and general tranquility and to
support the present Ministers"
Sultan is a friend and an instrument
of Arab Pasha, and passes for n of
the leaders Of the National party SO
that any statement of his about the
Khedive and his Ministers must be
taken with a liberal discount. The
true account of the relations between
them and of the compromise to which
they have come is supplied this morn

order the troops to Alexandria and
resist the fleets. The Consuls-Gene
raj saw that it was Of the highest i'm
portance to gain time, and advised
the Khedive to continue for a few
days to recognize the Ministry, if he
found it impossible to name any
other. The main reason for this ad-
vice was that the agents Of England
and France found it absolutely neces-
Sarv to have some one to negotiate
with and, moreover, unless some
sort Of arrangement We're made be
tween Tewfk and his Ministry, at
least until an agreement had been
come to between the Powers and
Turkey, it would be open to Arab
to represent himself as fighting for
the Sultan's sovereign rights-a posi-
ton Of advantage which it was desir-
able not to allow hum to take. Thus
it came about that the Khedive con-
sented for a timc-Whrther wisely or

work with the Ministers whom he
had lately described as "rebels : and
it is 70 this very ephemeral and par
tial reconciliation that Sultan Pa.ha
refers when the speaks of the com
pIrte Disappearance" Of the df-rAnco
between the Khedive and his Ministry.
A very few days will suffice to show
whether it can continue, and if not
whether Arab or the Khrdivo will
triumph. Much will depend on the
resist of Arabs summons to the re-
serves Of the Egyptian army-a sum
mons which, according to our Cores
pendent, is being generally Disregard
ed. This refusal, if il is as complete
as appears probable, will be the best
possible exposure Of the hollowness
of Arabs claim to lead a national
party. Moreover, it Will or ought to
convince him Of the real weakness of
his position, and may thus lead TO
that definite peaceful solution Of which

A Ciose Call.

From the Evansville Argus.
The people Of a little town in Warrick county
have been hanging right over the brink OF q
fragrant church scandal, but are not aware of
the fact. nor will they be until this copy of the
Argus reaches its readers over there. Just be-
fore the close OF the services last Sunday good
brother walked forward to the pulpit, handed
the minister an annOun cement, as he thought
and asked him to read it to the congregation
before he dismissed them. Just before time
was called on the dOyology. the minister said
" Brother Bramey has handed in the following"
and In clear voice he read the note, which ran
as follows:
MY Own PET BRAN: Are you never coming to
see me again? am dying to see my darling
once more aud gaze into his beloved eyes The
Old mummy that calls herself your wife will
never find it out. How can you endure her
Come. darling. to one who truly loves You
Your own. and OniF MARY
The good brother had handed in the wrong
announcement. At the close of the reading the
minister looked horrOr-struck the congregation
stared at Bfamley with cold, hard stares, and
his wife rose up in her seat and @lared at him
like tigress He was equal to the occasion.
however, and arising calmly. with a look of per
1ect resignation on his face, he said ''BrOthers

child OF sin who is cndeavOring to besmrci my
Christian reputation. shall use every endeavor
to ferret cut the writer, and if discovered will
fearessly proclaim her name and hold her up to
the contempt Of all Christian people," He sat
down amid the murlnur of appreciation and
sympathy, and his wife wanted to hug him right
before the congregation. That evening he told
the writer Of the note what had occurred. and
remarked with grin that it was the closest call

The Moorish slave Girls OF To-day.

MOROCCO. May 24.-By the Mohammedan

which this is usually held, on three days in

But beside these were two female figures who
evidently excited no small amount of interest
in the gray-bearded old Moors who formed no
small proportion of the purchasers One of
them was a closely-veled Moorish girl whose
features were revealed only to inquring Gus
toners, but who from passing glance did not
appear to be remarkable for her beauty. The
other was a really pretty girl from the province
of Sus, whose rose-colored craftan and green
silk head-dress contrasted pleasantly with her
olive complexion and long black lashes. They
were all neatly and tidly dressed, bearing no
sign OF ill-treatment or scant nourishment. and
were treated with all consideration. both by
statesmen and purchasers. though the examine

of those they bid for was very repulsive to those

and his friends immediately had the body en-
baimed for shipment to China. Before its de-
parture an elaborate funeral ceremony was per-
formed in public. low booth sixty by twenty
feet in size was erected on Commercial street.
the body of the structure was draped in white
and four upright posts supported white can

roasted carcasses of four pigs and two sheen.

were numerous pyramids of CONNECTIONS.

mounted By sticks of burning punk and greasy
incense. Above these was an open space about
twenty feet square, fenced in with ropes. and in
the center of this was deposited the rosewood
coffin containing the mortal remains of Lee Poy

with great ceremony, and the chief mOurners
went through variety OF genunections: but the
only human utterances were mechanical sobs
repeated during nearly two hours. Incense and
ointment, banners and sackciOth gongs and
hddles played an important part in the obse-
quies. The hearse was surrounded by sixteen
pall-bearers In white, and was followed by q
procession Of priests in black robes. Two others
were heavily laden with baskets containing
MOWERS and incense, and q score Of friends fol-
lowed bearing long poles surmounted with
flowers. Other priests and members OF the
