The Congressional nominations and
approaching elections, which now be-
gin to occupy public attention, will
soon terminate in this state the calm
which has settled on our politics. AS
we begin to think of this subject again,
we find many circumstances which
may properly lead the Republicans to
congratulate themselves on the situa-
ton. When President Garfield died
little less than one year ago there were
many who apprehended that his sue
cessor might pursue policy which
would greatly disturb the harmony of
the party. With admirable political
wisdom President Arthur has sur
prised and gratified those least friendly
to his accession to Office by the gener
al justice and moderation of the course
which he has pursued. Even in New
York the Republican party has quietly
permitted it's old divisions to slumber
and so united and harmonious are its
leaders that Stalwarts" and "Hybrids'
propose as one man to go to work and
secure the election of the state ticket

Wisconsin there have been no pro

cans are favorably situated for united
action on all questions of purely pc
litical character. The wise action of
Congress in regard to the National
Bank system, the tariff and interna

AS many are still in doubt as to the
causes of the trouble in Egypt" we
WOuIu SJaUe, at the FISK or pafElaI re-
petition, that after the Memlook pow
er was broken by the French under
Napoleon and the Memlook Beys wer e
treacherously murdered in 1911 by
Mehemet Ali, he himself became ruler
of Egypt, tributary to the Sultan.
Mehemet Ali was a Macedonian Greek,
who had risen from the ranks in the
Turkish army by his own merit. In
1889 the Pashalic of Egypt was made
hereditary in his family, and the name
OF Khedive or King was conferred up
on him. He and his son Ibrahim
Pasha, from whom the present Khedive
is descended, were distinguished for
their energetic control of this seditious
people, their rare intelligence of the
public need, and high estimation of
European civilization. Their descend
ants have proved dissipated, very prodi-
gal in their expenditures, and more
disposed to build palaces or luxurious
kiOsks than to promote the productive
interests of the country. The open
ing of the Suez Canal has greatly slim
ulated the immigration from Europe.
The expensive habits of the Khedive
and the Beys or Mobiles had laid, how
ever, large debt upon the country,
which was immensely increased by the
issue of bonds to aid in building the
canal. In the time of Disraeli's adj
ministration the English government
purchased the larger part of these
bonds, with view of securing it's high
way to India. France holds also a
part of these. The interest upon the
bonds has not been promptly paid.
The government of the Khedive has
been very delinquent in collecting the
revenues, and few months since the
governments of France and England
jointly undertook to press their claims
and to demand a proper provision for
the payment of their interest in future.
1t is this pressure upon the Khedive
which has wounded the susceptibilities
of the Egyptian people. He was
obliged to make concessions which has
seemed to their excited imaginations
surrender to English rule. Hence the
present imbroglio and the fierce hate of
the English and the European.
Arab Pasha was an Arab boy of
the lower class, who had been educat-
ed in European schools, of which there
have been several in Cairo and Alex
andria. He is said. to have acquired
there a very extensive knowledge of
European history, and with tn is
burning desire to create an Egyptian
nationality and emulate the heroic
patriotism of Washington and Garibal-
di. He became soldier as the only
avenue to influential position, and has
risen to the high place he so lately oc-
eupied by his own merit. There is no
doubt that he mlsapprehends the pres
ent capacity of his people for a free
government, and had he succeeded in
securing their independence he himself
would at last have been compelled to
become military despot Late events
make us fear that Arab Pasha has
more of the character of Mana Sahib
than of Garibaldi. The fierce passions
of the Oriental, his cruel methods, and
disregard of human life seem to rem
der it impossible for him to form
just conception of civil liberty.

How TO Stew a Chicken.

The Chicago News, of recent date, has
the following:
Mrs. Emma p. Ewing, lecturing to the
ladies at the Athenaum, the other day,
after describing various methods of
cooking meats. fish and poultry, came to
the commonplace subject OF stewing
chicken. Many housewives think they
cannot be told anything about so ordi-
nary dish, but if they will read what
Mrs. Ewing says they may get some new
and valuable ideas.
She said stewing, when properly done,
was the most perfect method of cooking
chickens that have reached greater age
than one year, and, although as ordina-
rily served, it is neither toothsome nor
inviting, when prepared according to
this receipt it makes as delicious q dish as
desired, namely: Before placing in the
pot to stew, cut chicken In pieces suit
able for serving at table. Separate the
joints neatly, and divide the breast into
three or four compact pieces. Lay2the
gizzard. heart, wings and legs at the bot
tom of the pot; then put IN the neck and
bony pieces, reserving the second
joints and breasts for tho top.
Use pint Of boiling water for q full
grown chicken, boil rapidly for few
minutes, then add teaspoonful each of
butter and flour, stirred in q smooth
paste, cover close and simmer gently,
but increasingly till tender. Drain into
bowl all the broth, and set the pot
with the chicken undisturbed in it, upon
the stove. II the broth is too oily, skim
from it so much grease as is desired, add
q spoonful of -four, stirred with spoon
full Of sweet cream or milk to paste,
and season lightly, as the gravy must
give seasoning TO the dish. Pour the
seasoned gravy over the chicken, simmer
ten minutes, and serve meat and gravy
together. Pursuing essentially the same
method, stewed chicken can be varied by
using less water and more cream or
milk by browning the chicken either be-
fore or after it is cooked, and adding
oysters, mushrooms or other things.
And by these slight and seemingly UNI
important variations il becomes chicken
fricasee, chicken saute, chicken marengo
and 80 ON, until dozen or more dishes
with fanciful foreign names are artistic
ally evolved from very simple, UMPIRE
tentious stewed chicken. A chiolksn =
year old requires stewing for It least IN
hear, and each year added 70 the life Of
~ lowl nseessitatss m additional hours

ing to the shape of the skull. They
then set to work to find the remainder OF
the body, when suddenly their dog COM
menced barking furiously under chest
nut tree on the hillside. Running to
the spot they discovered that the dog
had scented partly decayed human
body. 1t required but brief examina
tion to convince them that the remains
of old mag, the Hag." lay before them.
She had climbed the tree to shake down
some nuts. probably. When near the
top the limb upon which she was stand
thirty feet. A large jagged stump under
the tree caught her body as she fell. and
one large splinter of it was thrust
clear through her body, impaling her.
Her death must have been instan taneous
A bear or some other carniverous ami
NAL had gnawed away her feet and
hands, whidh hung nearly to the ground,
and it was undoubtedly bear that had
torn her head from the body and carried
it into the swamp.
Among the DeGroatses, Hinkses, and
Hinlons, the news soon spread, and they
gathered in full force to attend Mays
funeral and dispose of the body, which
had been conveyed to the cabin. 1t was
on Saturday afternoon that at least two
hundred of these half savage men and
women assembled at old Mays cabin and
held a wake over the mangled body.
They INDUCED in drunkenness and wild
orgies for two whole days, and finally,
on the Monday following, at midnight,
they departed, after having set fire to,
and totally destroyed the cabin. What
became of the old woman's body is more
than any one can tell, for it is one of the
customs of the Conkling tribe to leave
no trace of the grave of one Of their
members.

killing seaIs

Droves of cattle, sheep or swine on
their way to market are common sights;
q rarer spectacle is drove of turkeys,
though this is now aud then seen at some
western shipping point, but it could
hardly be imagined that seals could be
driven to market. Yet, according to q
recent bureau publication, this is the
practice in Alaska.
The seals are not found on the coast Of
the mainland; but they frequent the
Pribyloo Islands in the Behring sea.
The seals caught here are not like those
of Labrador, which are taken more for
their oil than for their skins, but arc the
genuine fur seal, whose soft, warm
coats eventually enfold the forms Of So
ciety bellies. The islands are cold bleak
desolatc places, bare Of timber, and in
the summer time almost always over

oaks that had for centuries shaded the
entrance to Castle McMurtry, and
laughed defiance to the fierce gales that
every winter came bowling down in all
their cruel force and fury from the
moorlands lying to the westward of the
castle. On the edge of the broad demesne
that stretched away to the south stood a
large brindle COW, and as the moonlight
fecked with silvery lustre on her star
board ribs, she seemed to Myrtle per-
feet picture of sweet content and almost
holy calm.
SIS it not beautiful night, dearest?"
murmured the girl. "See how the
moonbeams futter down through the
trees, making strange lights and shadows
that fit among the shrubs and flowers in
such a weird, ghost-like fashion. The
dell is indeed clothed with loneliness to-
night, sweetheart"
"Yes," said George w. Simpson, "this
is the boss dell" and then, looking down
into the pure, innocent face that was
lifted to his, he took in his own broad,
third-base palm. the little hand that erst
while held up Myrtle's polonaise. As
they stood there in the bosky glade
George passed his arm silently but firmly
around Myrtle waist.
The noble girl did not shy.
"Do you love me, sweetheart" he asked
in accents that were tremulous with
tremulousness.
Myrtle's head was dropping now, and
the rosy bushes of Calumet avenue in
nocence were chasing each other down
her peachy cheeks.
George drew her more closely to him.
If mosquito had tries to pass between
them then it would have been bad-for
the mosquito.
"Can you doubt me, darling?" he
whispered. "You surely must know
that love you with wild, passionate
whoa Emma love that can never die. Do
you not love me little in return?"
For an instant the girl did not speak.
George heard the whisking of the brindle
COWS tail break in rudely upon the
solemn stiffness of the night, and ever
and anon came the dull thud of the bull
frog as he jumped into neighboring
pond. Presently Myrtle placed her
arms about his neck. and with awistful,
baby -got-the-cramp look in her face, she
said to him: Il love you, George with a
deathless devotion that will eventually
keep you broke" And with these fatal
words she adjusted her rumpled bang
and fearlessly led the way to an ice
cream lair. II Chicago Tribune.
