He Wanted Full Value.

A few days ago farmer on the line
of the New York Central lost a COW by
collision with a train, and started imme-
diately for the managers Office to effect
a settlement.
"I understand that she was thin and
sick" said the manager after the old man
had explained his business.
"Makes no difference" replied the
farmer doggedly. She was COW, and
I want pay for her."
GLOW much ? " asked the manager Ia
conically. 3!
"Two hundred dollars!" returned
the farmer,
"Now, look here, said the manager
kindly, chow much did the COW weigh?"
"About four hundred, I suppose, AN
swered the farmer.
"And we'll say that beef is worth ten
cents pound on the hoof."
'It's worth a heap more. than that on
the COW catcher!" retorted the old man.
But well call it that, what then?"
"That makes $4O," said the manager
quietly. - .-:.:'

the old man. t.-......
"But how do you make the differ

"I'm willing to pay full value, $40. How

LABOR REFORM IN ENGLAND.

Mr.. Jacob Holyoake, one of the
wisest and most pr:dent of the leaders
Of the working classes in England, has
come to this country to endeavor to per-
suade the government to issue some sort
of a guide book for the use of immi-
grants, setting forth the peculiarities
and resources of every section of the
Union. In the meanwhile he is at work
on such book to be published on his
own responsibility. With this end in
view, he will visit the various cities Of
the country in search of facts and statis-
tics. To enable him to pursue the work
Mr.. Gladstone has granted an allowance
of $500, which will be increased to
81 ,250, and Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson
has sent him check for $500. Touch
ing the condition of the working classes
in England, Mr.. Holyoake says that
everywhere they command greater con-
sideration than formerly. Employers
are solicitous about the welfare of their
hands, the hours of labor have been
shortened through the exertions of
trades unions; more freedom of action
is conceded on Sundays, and the custom
Of early closing on Saturday prevails;
industrial partnerships between employ
ers and laborers are multiplying, and
rates Of wages have advanced. "Po]itt-
cal candidates. says Mr.. Holyoake,
"show an increased regard for working
men. In towns where there are two
liberals returned there is an increasing
demand that one or the other shall be q
representative of the working classes.
The few representatives they have in
parliament are listened to respectfully. /"
Among the reforms at which the work
ing classes in England aim this tepts.
sentative working man names the i'm
provement of the land laws, the aboli-
ton OF the game laws, the abolition of
the laws Of primogeniture and entail,
and the abolition of hereditary peer
age. In this opinion there is a rapid
growth of republican sentiment in Eng-
land which will lead to a peaceful revo-
luton.

ORTH0GRApHICAL.

Newspaper readers who complain of
the lack of uniformity in spelling the
geographical names, as we'll as names of
persons, brought into prominence by the
Anglo.E Egyptian struggle, will perhaps
be enlightened, says the Alta Californian,
by being told that there is no estab-
lished method of spelling such names in
English. Maps aud gazetteers are no
help, because they do not agree except
upon few very common names. The
Arabic and English (or Latin) alphabets
are so radically different that no CORE
spondence whatever can be established
between the letters of the two languages.
The Arabic is what is called consonant-
al alphabet, and originally the vowel
sounds were omitted in writing the Ian.
guage, as they are in most systems of
shorthand writing in English. 1t is said
the first vowel characters introduced into
the Arabic we're used in copying the
koran, long after Mohammed's death, in
order to terminate certain disputes that
had arisen over the meaning of critical
passages. These vowel signs are placed
above or below the line; they do not in
dictate all the vowel sounda, and are very
often omitted entirely. In t1anslatiug.
an Arabic name into onr alphabet, it is
necessary to go by the sound, and AS
this permits many different arrange
ments Of letters to represent the same
thing, the result is confusing 6. For ex-.
ample, the name Of the canal that sup
plies Alexandriu with fresh water is
spelled in many different ways, Of which
the following are q few, to.wit: NAH
mudiah, Mahmouliah sMamoudiah, Ma
mludiah, Mahmud deesh, ETC., etc., al of.

Egypltan Affair.

According to the Egyptian correspondent of
the London Daily News, Arab Pasha has an
army of SO, 100, Of. whom $4,000 are Bedouin
Arabs. He has 143 cannon:
General Wolseley desires the presence Of the
naval brigade in the army, in order that they

Dufferin and Said Pasha, have informally
signed the military convention. Antono Pauls,

for Use by the Arabs throwing the carcasses of

Arabi Pasha forced the fighting near Kassas-
sin on the morning of the 9Th inst, where an
artillery duel was kept up for two hours along
a line of three miles, the Egyptians firing with
great precision. General Wolseley telegraphs
that he sustained triding loss and captured
four guns; and that while the enemy have re-
tired to their works he will return to camp at
Kassassin with all his force. A small party of
Arabs attempted to scale the ramparts at Alex
andria, and one of them was bayoneted by a
sentry. Arab Pasha is said to have diverted
the canal at Ismailia around his intrenchments.
A large party of Bedouins approached Meks,
and few succeeded in entering, but were re-
pulsed by the British.

CHIMES.
BY H. ", LONGFELLOW.

Sweet chimesl that in the loneliness Of night
Salute the passing hour, and in the dark
And silent chambers Of the household mark
The movements of the myriad orbs Of light
Through my closed eyehdS, by the inner sight,
see the constellation In the arc
OF their great circles moving ON, and, harkI
almost hear them singing in their flight.
Better than sleep it 10 to lie awake
O'er-canopied by the vast starry dome
OF the immeasurabae sky; to feel
The slumbering world sink under us, and make
Hardly an eddy-a mere rush of foam
On the great sea beneath sinking keel.
