War is at all times calamity and it never
fails to bring calamities in its train, and the
war in Egypt is no exception. Putting aside
material losses and all the horrors the popu-
lation has to endure, Egypt has to suffer a
moral loss that nips in the bud promising
beginning that had been made for the reno
walton of people singularly apathetic, ig-
norant and superstitious. American mis-
sioss had obtained an excellent footing in
Egypt, and the relief from oppression and
e1tortion the people have experienced since
the English exercised power there had done
much to neutralize the antipathy OF the ma
tiyes TO christianity of the Western type.
The American missionaries there were aided
by the turn of affairs, and there was no place
in the world where the missionary work was

a wAxx1Na TO DEmoonars.

The appearance of Emerson Erheridge in
this canvass admonishes Democrats what is
their duty in the present emergency. He is
rs essential to the success of the Democratic
party as lifeboat to safe navigation or a
fcarecrow to fruitful field of corn. 1t &C.
casionally happens that party lines get con-
fused and party leaders bewildered In such
a crisis Emerson Etheridge is of indispensa-
BILE service, for if honest, true and reliable
Democrats would know what is not Democ-
racy they must study Etheridge. If ever
in the rise of new Issues Democrats doubt or
need light, they must look to him, find out
what he is for, and interpret the right as
a certain nationality interpret their
dreams-by contraries, In a word,
if ever, in the mutations of par
ties, Democrats began to lose their land
marks, and ask with Daniel Webster,
"Whers shall 1 go?" they must go over to
the other side of the erratic Etheridge, for
no Democratic grass grows where his feet
tread. Since he has brought the odium OF
his good will to the support of Russell,
shack to our tents" will be the watchword of
every hesitsting Democrat On Saturday
last Mr.. Etheridge made a speech at Union
City, in which he said he liked the Bate
platform the best, but as the temperance
question was the great question at issue, and |
il was only the price of one drinks differ |
ence on the dollar in the two platforms, he |
should vote for Russell. 1t is plain to be |
seen that Etheridge becomes Russell elector |
by prostituting the cause of temperance to |
defeating the Democratic party and
electing Hawkins governor. The tenn
persnce plank in the bolters' plat
form is too transparent to deceive /
anybody. 1t is gross and palpable fraud,
and those who resort to the swindle with the
laugh in their sleeve at the cheat. The
law was passed by Democratic
legislature. No single individual, no Demo-
rat, Republican, bolter or Greenbaeker
proposes to repeal the law. Yet the boilers
n their platform oppose its repeal and adj
1ocate its merits and its continuance as
hough somebody was trying 10 repeal it.
such triekery excites the disgust of sensible
men. The last Bolivar Bulletin says: There
8 no probability that Hardeman Democrats
will nominate any man for a legislative
ofice who will favor the repeal Of the tour
mile law. Hardeman Democrats will see
hat no anti-four-mile-law man be elected TO
he Legislature" These are the sentiments
Of every Democrat in Tennessee. From now
until November there will not be a single
voice lifted against the four-mile law. Yet
the boilers will continus~eo oppose its re-
peal, thereby suggesting the falsehood and
he belief that the Democrats propose re-
peal of the four-mile law.

more guccessful. Teachers and coiporteufs
were operating in districts all the way from
Alexandria 10 the first cataract on the
Nile. Their schools were very successful
Last year ffty-four Of them were
taught by teachers who themselves
were educated at the institutions OF the mis-
siouaries, and there was more demand Tor
those teachers than could be supplied, and
advanced students had to be sent temporarily
to take charge of primary schools. At those
fifty-four schools 24iO pupils received in
struction last year. During the first four
months Of the present year three young men
who had taken the full scientific and theo-
logical courses were ordained and installed
az pastors over congregations, making eleven
native ordained ministers in Egypt who give
themselves wholly TO the work. There are
about I40 other helpers connected with the
mission. So far has the work OF education
already advanced that the mission reports
the sale, during 1881, of 27,150 volumes OF
books, religious aud educational, for which
was received the sum of s6243. About one
third of all the books sold were sacred Scrip
lures, making the Bible distribution in
Egypt almost double that of all Syria.
The war has, of course, unsettled
all this. National prejudice and fanatical
hate are all revived. Now comes the fire
that will try the faith of the young converts.
Without that prove strong and enduring
little of the good seed sowed by the mission
aries will bring fruit, and the rising genera
ton will lose the vast treasure those schools
were pouring into heart and brain. 1t is
impossible for the christian not to take an
interest in a country where the Hebrews
we're slaves, and where in latertimes chris
tianiLy had strong hold that to this day
our sects are under the effects of the specu-
Iative controversies of which the Egyptian
brain Of that time was SO prolific.

The NtIoneter.

The niiometer, used for the purpose of
measuring the hight of the Nile, is situated
on the island of Roda, opposite Old Cairo.
1t consists of a square we'll or chamber, in
the center of which is graduated pillar
divided into several cubits, each about
q 7-16 inches long. Owing to the elevation
OF the bed Of the Nile the relative proportion
of the rise of water has been altered, and it
now passes about one cubit and two-thirds
above the highest part of the column. The
state of the stream is proclaimed in the
streets of Cairo during the inundation every
day by several criers, to each of whom a
particular district is allotted. From twenty
four feet to twenty-six feet may be taken as
the ordinary maximum of the rise at Cairo.

MEETING.
The State Board OF Agriculture Holds
an Unimportant Session.

The regular "semi-annual meeting OF
the state board of agriculture was held
last evening at the room formerly oc.
cupien by Secretary Wheeler, in the
Paxton hotel.
This meeting was held simply for
the purpose of conforming with the
low requiring the board to hold a
meeting during the state fair, and
was really little or no business to be
transacted.
The meeting wal called to order at
8 o'clock by Hon. Edward Mcintyre,
president of the board, and the roll
call showed all but Messrs, yesterday,
Dinsmore, Mcdowell, Allen, Kent,
McCloud, Buck and Higgins, either
present or accounted for.
Messrs. Kent and Walker were ex-
cused and a motion to excuse Messrs.
Dinsmore, Mcdowell, Buck and Hig-
gins, was tabled.
A refusal to excuse would have been
to declare the places of the absent
members vacant.
Mr.. Barnard, president of the State
horticultural society, was excused
from further attendance.
Mr.. Hartman moved that the pre-
MUM exhibits of vegetables and fruits
be turned over to the railroad com

A farmer named George Krug from
Crete with his wife and daughter,
when about to take the b. & M. train
last evening for home, was robbed oil
$38 in money and his tickets. His
wife had her pocket picked of 81 and
the thieves were about to go through
daughters pocket when they were
detected in their game and n of
them wal captured. The farmer felt
the hand of u man in his
pocket and seized him and
as no did 30 the fellows pal walled
away with a slung shot and struck
the old man in the lip, splitting it
open. The result was that the man
who had secured the money made his
escape, and ON an outcry being raised
the other man was arrested. 1t is
supposed that the one who picked
Krug's pocket was the "Kansas City
kid" and he was taken in charge by
officer Hans Timme, who started with
him to the Tail. When they arrived at
Holman's livery stables the prisoner
broke away and ran down the alley,
pursued by the officer, who fired three
shots at him, but did not strike him,
and he was caught near the old
cracker factory by the policeman and
a sheriff from some interior county.
Upon being searched, it was found
that he had passed the money to his
partner, probably being of a
gang who was working the outgoing
train. He is about nineteen years
