Testing His Sons for q Ruler.

Feeling extremely ill one day,
William johnson, the renowned
Maori chieftain, being at the time
advanced in years, deemed it incum-
bent upon him to settle the success
sion to his supreme authority over
the Maori Nation. He had two
grown-up sons-fne spirited fellows
and, with the shrewClness that
characterized him throughout life,
he hit upon the following test of
their respective capacities for rule,
resolving that his choice between
them should be determined by the
result of his quaint experiment: AS
he was lying on couch by the open
door of his house he summoned
them to his bedside, and, addressing
the elder OF the two. exclaimed:
Shorthand, take down my gun and
shoot that white man standing by
the hut over there" The heir APP
parent was in the act of obcying his
his fathers orders when Thompson's
second son stepped forward, caught
his brothers. arm. and demonstrated
with him saying. - Why should you
kill the man ? What harm has he
done to You. or, for that matter, to
any of us 2" Thou hast said well,
my son." calculated the dying chief.
" In thee discern the true qualities
requisite in rulers of men--intelli-
gcnce, prudence. and the love of
justice. When | am dead thou shalt
govern in my stead.'' And so it
came to pass for, a few hours later,
Thompson formally presented his
second son TO the elders of his
nation as their future Chief, and up
OH his death, which occurred shortly
aftcrward, no attempt was made TO
dispute his choice of SUCCESSOR

Arab Pasha wrote the following
letter to Gladstone few days before

not receive it until after the bom-
bardmsnt: The Koran commands
us to resist if war is waged against
us. Hence England may rest assured
that the first gun she fires against
Egypt will absolve Egyptians from
all treaties; their control will cease,
the property ofall Europeans will be
confscated, the canal destroyed, and
''Jehod" will be preached in Syria,
Arabia and India. The first blow
with which England strikes Egypt
will cause blood to flow through all
Asia and Africa, the responsibility
for which will be on the head of Eng

friends with England, and to keep her
road to India, but she must keep with
in the limits other jurisdiction. Final
ly, England may rest assured that we
