Egypt.

The Egyptian imbroglio is likely to be
serious one. That country was recently
put under the control of the representa-
ives of the English and French bond
holders. These people cared nothing
for Egypt or its prosperity, and as they
represented q wholly irresponsible and
exceedingly rapacious class of money
lenders, they proceeded to make all the
money they could out of the unhappy in
habitants of the land of the Nile. The
taxes were diverted to the payment of
the interest on the bonds, and what was
left was divided among the relatives and
dependents of the leading capitalists who
represent the bonded interest of Great
Britain and France. Every appointment
which involved salary was given to
young French and English understrap-
pers, and their compensation increased
in every respect inordinately. Young
fellows who would be glad to make .
bare living as clerks in their own coun-
try were saddled upon the unfortunate
Egyptians and given princely incomes.
There is no government so mean, 80 n
pacious, Is that of the money-lenders,
and this class had full swing in the land
of the Pharaehs. OF course the wrath
of the people of Egypt, especially Of the
leading classes, was unbounded, and was
manifested in every way, but ~ tho bond
holders had the governments Of Great
Britain and France behind them, no heed
was paid to the righteous indignation Of
the cruelty plundered Egyptians. It is
difficult to foresee how this will all end.
The fate of Egypt is bound up with the
puzzling Eastern question. Asia Minor,
Syria, and the land Of the PharaOhs are
destined to be the scene of many mighty
conflicts between Russia On one side and
England and France ON the other.
Mighty commercial interests are at
stake. It is vital to the Western powers
that the Suez Canal, Egypt, and the
route to India should be in their hands;
but the measureless greed of the bank
ers will help the enemies Of Eaglaaa
and France BY making the people Of
Egypt their active enemies. Denorcscs

through hurrying mists WITH shrouded glow;
The bocing night-wind made in moan.
The mighty river crept below;
Twas All Souls Night. and to and fro
The quick and dead together walked.
Inc quick and dead together talked.
On Kingston Bridge.
Two met who had not met for years
Their hate was once too deep for fears;
One drew his rapier es he came
Up leaPt his anger like Q fame;
With clash Of mail he faced his foe
Ana bade him stand and meet him 20.
He felt graveyard wind 60 by
Cold. cold as was his enemy;
A stony horror held him fast
The Dead looked with q CHASTITY stare,
And sighed: Il know thee not" and passed
Like to the mist and left him there
On Kingston Bridge.
Twas An Souls, Night, and to and fro
The quick and dead together talked,
On Kingston Bridge.
Two met who had not met for years;
With grief that was too deep for tears
They parted last
He clasped her hand. and in her eyes
He sought Loves rapturOus surprise.
70 Sweet" he cried, "hast thou come back
To say thou lowest thy lover stiilY'
Into the starlight pale and cold
She gaZed afar-her hand was chill.
"Dost thou remember how we kept
Our ardent vigils?-how we kissed?
Take thou these kisses As Of oldr'
An icy wind about him swept;
~ know thee not" she sighed, and passed
Into the dim and shrOuding mist
On Kingston Bridge.

The quick and dead together walked,

Isaac Newton, the philosopher, was,
like Macaulay, not above propounding
riddles, showing that although he discou-
cred gravity, he was not always addicted
to it Here was one Of his which Hor.
ace Walpole couldn't guess:
-Four people sat 1t table to play, a1G
They played all that night and some part Of
next day:
This one thing observed, that when all were
seated.
Nobody played with themAnd nobody betted;
Yet when they got mp, each was q winner .
Who answers this riddlerm sure is no ninny."

answer is musicians Il might have
been ''pun-makers" almost as well, be-
