The Drum Major.


 If mystery IS not always, as it usually is, fearful, it is ever wonderful. If one is not capable of being Bismarck or Gladstone, one would wish to be Drum Major. He is more martial in air than the Colonel, he is more vivacious than the Vigs,adieae his en- blem of office is more elegant than the baton of the leader of an orchestra, it is hardly as superb as the mace on the table of the House of Commons; it is more than a staff, and is not quite equal to sceptre. What it's gyrations mean no ordinary mortal can com prehend, but on half wheel" it's motions are as active and intricate as the action of a Jacquard loom. Had Alexander been Drum Major, he never would have sighed for more worlds to conquer, for there is apparently not an unsatisfied ambition in the man who yields the big walking stick with brass ball on the end It is pretended that the Drum Major in some occult manner directs the time of the music of the band, but this is evidently an erroneous theory, for he is, judging by his manner utterly oblivious of all here below. If he Is not communing with the angels, then is he walking ina vain show and receiving applause under false pretences, for though his feet are on earth his head is in the air, and as he strides at the head of his company, his feeling is, as it seems, that of the conquering hero, to whom the following train are as the captiyes of the Roman vic

What Blind Colored Man Can Do.
From the Selma (Ala.) Times.


 The Messrs. Breslin have in their employ as hostler. gardener and general workman a negro man named Dick, 24 years old, who, since his fifth birthday, has been as blind as the proverb1al bat. The amount of work he does, and the neatness, accuracy, and dis patch with which all his chores and odd jobs are done, are simply marvellous. He attends to several horses, cleans them, feeds them washes their harness, and when occasion de- mands can hitch up a team we'll as an one. His stable-yard is model of cleanliness, and the garden Is we'll worked. He washes the carriages, horses and wagons, oils vehicles, and sees that they are all right before allow ing them to be taken out of the lot, He is as light hearted as se most Africans and can enjoy joke and laugh at il, though he wastes but few moments in idleness of any variety his whole mind seemingly being bent upon careful discharge of his various duties. He is as stout as an ox and is bad man to tease, as bantering loafer found out to his sorrow not long since. He had been tormenting Dick till the latter's stock of patience gave out, when he turned furiously on his tor mentor and the first thing that individual knew he was landed all bruised up in heap some yards away. Perhaps the most re- markable gift the man has is the ability to tell within few moments the time of day. Day or night, when asked what time it is, he replies without hesitation, and is rarely fur ther off from the exact maTking of the dial than 10 minutes. To test this gift, after having talked with him about his work, the reporter quickly asked, 'What time is it Dick ?" ''Half past 1O," came the immediate response. A look at the watch showed that at the instant it 1O:26, within four min utes of the time guessed by the man who probably knows not the appearance of either watch or clock. He goes to his home some blocks distant to remain during the night, but is always on hand bright and early as the morning sun to commence his day s work. In all sorts of weather he never fails to be on time He is seldom sick, and then only slightly indisposed.

Is Champagne Unfairly Denr :

There is no doubt that champagne is very dear; the only point requiring consideration is whether it is unfairly dear. Price (except in Irish land) is understood to be determin- ed by cost of production by competition in the open market, by supply and demand, by relative merit Now, everything from this point of view Is in favor of the champagne makers. No one who has given the slightest attention to the subject is unaware that the production of champagne, from the first day that the vine culture begins to the last, when the case goes on shipboard, is extraordinarily costly. In no other kind of wine growing is half the care and labor spent on the vines The expense of making is 8 mere triie in the very costliest claret or burgundy compared with that in the case of champagne the loss by breakage Ca practically non existent item in other wines) is enormous. But there is much more than this. Champagne is, to speak roundly, never the produce of single vineyard. The quantities of different grapes and different districts for single cUgee are the results literally of centuries of experi- ments, and the proportions are the secrets of the producer. Again, though the phyl. 1oxera has spared champagne, the vintages have, with few exceptions been bad for years past and at the same time the distress of other districts through the phylloxera itself has of course been the fair commercial advan- tage of the province. Lastly, it must be re- membered that the demand, though it has not, popular fiction has 1t, yet beaten the supply, is constantly increasing In hardly any of the smaller social matters is the dif- ference between the England of the present day and the England of thirty years ago more marked than in the case of the drinking of champagne. Now, the finest wine of the province-the wine which favors and con- stitutes the great cu0ees-is almost constant quantity, and does not admit of multip iplcation
 The inference, as far as the price of these cu- yeeS goes, Is unavoidable.
 Last of all, there is no doubt whatever that the relative price of champagne to that of other sparkling wines does not unfairly rep resent it's comparative merits To begin
 with, all other sparkling wines are compara- tive novelties, and there is nothing that so
 depends on old practice and traditional skill
 as the making of good wine. Sparkling wines are now to be obtained at every con ceivable price, from guinea dozen or
 whereabouts upward There is the enormous production of the Loire district, which seems l to be greedily enough consumed by those who | like it, and against which there is nothing to l be said as far wholesomeness goes But l in respect of flavor, no one who knows what wine is would dream of comparing even the
 best Saumur or Vouvray with a moderate champagne. There is sparkling burgundy {; ] and it may be observed that SD arkling bur

Brown, chairman of the Chicago committee of seven; James Mooney, Rev. Lawrence Walsh, John J.

 Among Davitt's suggestions to the confer ence were @ preliminary conference in Ameri- ca of all Irish American citizens to consider the advlsability of forming the Irish race throughout the world into Celtic confedera- tion for the purpose of hastening on the at- government for Ireland. The central execu- tive Irish National Land and Labor League of Great Britain and Ireland is to be recog nized as the supreme authority to decide up- on ways and means by which Celtic confed- eration can best achieve the end for which it is to be formed.

A Popular Uprising Imminent-The Opp

 DUBLIN, July G.-It is now very generally believed that a rising of Irishmen is immi- nent. The crisis in Egyptian affairs and tho consequent military embarrassment of the government regarded by the Irish revolu- tionary leaders as furnishing the long sought opportunity. The Orange societies through out the country have published 8 circular warning Irishmen that rising is threatened and asking them to preserve the peace by refraining from participating in the move ment. The archbishops and bishops of Ire- land have also issued circular forbidding priests to give countenance and support to the ladies land league It also forbids them to attend public meetings called for purposes of agitation or otherwise without the con- sent of the priests of the parishes in which such meetings are to bs held. The docu- ments have created considerable excitement and the interference of the church is sharply resented in certain quarters.

A Bark's Collision With Am Iceberg.
 BOSTON, July 6.-Captain Watts, of the bark Edeline, from New York for Norway, which was sunk by an iceberg, has arrived here. The bark struck the iceberg at 7:45 on the evening of June 13, heavy fog pre- vailing at the time Nothing could be seen ships length ahead. Had passed one iceberg the same day. She struck the iceberg stem on, throwing the stem one side and bursting off the ends of her blanks. Her pumps were worked all night, the vessel gradually settling, until II o'clock the next day, when there were fourteen feet of water in the hold. The crew, consisting of thirteen men, took to the two boats and laid by the wreck all night. On June 15 they again boarded her at day light and found her going under very rapid ly. They then pulled away and were picked up by the schooner Mary F. Chisholm on Sunday, June IS, in longitude 53 deg. 40 min The bark went down in latitude 43 deg. 10 min, longitude 50 deg. min. There was no change of temperature before striking the iceberg. The part struck was low, and the collision was near the water's edge The higher portion was some fifty or one hundred feet distant.

gundy (white, not red for red sparkling
 wines, except as an occasional curiosity, are rather mistake) is the nearest approach to champagne. But nearly all sparkling bur- gundy, and still more that excellent south ern growth St. Peray, has the defect of be- ing too strong. Wine that sparkles is intend ed to be drunk, not slipped, and considerable caution is required in drinking sparkling bur gundy, which, however let it be repeated, is the best substitute, at about three -fourths of the price. for champagne. Sparkling Rhine and Mosele wines everybody knows. At their very best they good, but they are not cheap you may get, if you take little care, far better champagne for less money Besides the peculiar fowery flavor which is the charm of hook and moselle almost invar- iably becomes pommadish in character in the process of manufacture into 0in naousseu1. The remarkable freshness and cleanness of taste which are the chief charms of champagne are absent. As for miscellaneous sparkling wines. such as those of Italy, Hungary, the Jura, etc, they need not be seriously men tioned. Except the inexperienced burglar, who having made away with dozen or so of champagne, said, ''It was like ginger beer, but not good, /" no one would think of de- nying that the arithmetical relation of the price of these wines to that of champagne is reasonable enough

EGYPT.

Tho Situation at AIexandria-Ths Eng fish Fleet Ready to Lombard the City. LONDON, July 6.--From Alexandria the rumor is that marauding bands of Egyptians have made several attempts to cut the Suez canal at point remote from habitable places. The decided tone of Admiral Sey- mour's second letter to the military Cover nor with to-days movement of the English war vessels in the harbor has caused the gravest apprehensions among all classes. The Admiral has notified the Governor that on the first appearance of renewal of op- erations on the defensive works he will open fire on the Notifications. The fleet is now in position to begin the bombardmsnt. It is thought that the forts will be silenced in if teen minutes after opening fire.

The Convict Rebellion at Concord.

CONCORD, July 6.-All is quiet at the State prison to night. Governor Long and the prison commissioners gave Warden Earle their moral support and the latter is master of the situation. Last night the thirteen ringleaders were taken to strong part of the prison and chained to the grating with their hands above their heads. Paul Greg ory, ringleader, told the warden he was certain if these men were released order would be restored. The warden refused to be dictated to. Later James Dolan when or dered out of his cell by an officer threw paint pot at the officer. Warden Earle then ordered him out. Dolan refused and threat ened to brain the first man who approached. His fellow convicts shouted, Stick it out we are with you" The warden sprang into the cell, grappled with Dolan and threw him into the corridor where he chained. This impressed the convicts that the warden was not to be conquered and no further out break is expected.
