The Type struggle.

An article on German versus Latin
type, in recent number of the
Deutsche Cundschau, sketches the
history of struggle in Germany which
must end at last in the triumph of
common sense over sentiment, The
Gothic type was the creation of the
earliest German printers, who wished
to make their books as much like con.
temporary manuscripts as possible
The Latin type presented at once a
close approximation to the character
of classical antiquity and rebellion
against the monks, from whose manu-
script character the Gothic type was
developed. In 1869 Liebnitz urged up
on his German countrymen the aban-
donment of the Gothic type for the
more cosmopolitan Antigua" and in
the following century it seemed as If
literary Germany were about to take
his advice. Toward the end of the
eighteenth century the new type be-
came a burning question. Goethe was
at one time on the side of change ;
Kant, on the other hand, protested
energetically against the abandonment
of the national character. At the
present day victory is once more inclin-
ing to Rome against the barbarians,
Forty per cent of all books printed in
Germany in 1880 we're printed in IAN

Cotton Land in Egypt.

"The agricultural question in Egypt
is far more important than the political
question, and in it lies the happiness
of the Egyptian people," This is the
opinion Of Hahn Pasha, heir pre-
sumptive to the rulership Of Egypt.
The Prince Hahn further remarks:
"a strong executive government that
can give full scope to all that is good
in the Anglo French central system. a
compulsory system of public instruc-
tion and the use of artificial fertilizers
on the American system to recuperate
the soil, which is gradually being i'm
poverished by the present cotton
crops, which takes more out OF the
soil than the annual Nile deposit puts
into it. Acres Of land which ten
years ago produced ten kantars of
cotton now only produce two and a
half or three kantars. The fertility
Of the Nile deposit is greatly exag
gerated, and unless artificial fertil-
izers be introduced it will soon be i'm
possible to continue the present cotton
yield. This is only done now by ex-
tending the area Of cotton production
and planting with cotton land that
was formerly planted with beans and
corn"

HOrse-.hOers on a Strike-The
Crops.

CHICAGO, June 5.-The journeymen
horse-shoers have gone on a peaceable
strike to the number Of $50 men, the
bosses having refused q rise in ma
chine made horse shoes. Incidentally
the Union demand an increase of
twenty. five cents per day wages, which
would be acceded to if not coupled
with other demands. The strikers
say they are certain to win, and will
go to work in few days.
The rains Of Friday, Saturday and
Sunday have brought out gloomy re-
ports from some Of the low counties
in Illinois. Farmers began to fear
that it would be impossible to finish
planting in time to secure a crop,
aud that the growth Of corn already
up would be seriously retarded. This
morning, heWever, the sun rose 10 a
clear sky, and the weather is growing
warmer every hour, and prospects are
fine for corn weather that will largely
compensate for the rains. A little
warm weather would work a revolu-
tion in the appearance of farm lands
outside of Illinois. All dispatches
continue to predict a splendid condi-
ton of all cereals.

N, Y. Letter to Philadelphia Ledger, June /.
The prospective disintegration of
the Egyptian obelisk, in consequence
OF the injurious influences of our harsh
climate, is by no means false alarm,
as some have supposed. General Di
Cesnola, who certainly is qualified TO
know something about it, says.
There is no doubt about the injurious
action of cold winter upon Egyptian
granite. The action of frost is slow
but sure. The frosts of London and
Paris are nothing compared with
those We have here, besides which
there is a dryness in our American
atmosphere which seems to be iDjuri.

ing. The Museum is not the place for
it; besides, the Directors would never
give their consent. Moreover, the
cost Of the transfer would be enor-
nous; $4,000 is the lowest estimate;
one end Of the building would have to
be knocked out, and the ponderous
machinery aud inclined plane Of enor-
nous timbe.s would have to be con-
structed all over again. The Museum
would also have to be closed for a
year or more. Sheathing the obelisk
in winter would not cost SO much as
putting it in the Museum, and it is a
monument peculiarly suited to the
open air"

Stars and Reds.

AT Olympic Park yesterday one Of
the finest games of ball ever played in
this city was witnessed. Up to the
sixth inning not a run had been made
when, by an error of the Memphis
Reds, the only one made on their side,
the Stars scored. In the eighth in
ming the Reds scored two runs, which
closed the game. Only half dozen err
rors were made on both sides.
The crowd in attendance was esti-
mated at from five to six hundred, aud
the weather was extremely delightful
for the sport. The game was played
inside Of an hour. The Lone Stars
arrived from New Orleans yesterday,
and go back tomorrow. They began
another game with the Memphis Reds
at Olympic Park this afternoon.

Pretty story,

A Paris newspaper tells pretty
anecdote about Ambrose Thomas,
the composer, and his dainty villa of
Argenteuil, which, in September,
1870, he was compelled to abandon on
the approach of the Prussians, with
out being able to remove any of his
artistic treasures or curios. AS soon
as the village was occupied, a young
staff officer, charged with quarterinr
the troops, appeared at the villa and
asked Of the trembling concierge who
occupied the lodge, N. Thomas hav-
ing locked up the main building ere
leaving for Paris. who lives here2"
NJ. Ambrose Thomas" THE com
pOser?" "The same" The officer
took card from his pocket, pencilled
a few words upon it and showed it un.
der the fastened door then, obtaining
piece of chalk, inscribed some words
on the panel and departed. No sol
diers were billeted there, and when
a new regiment came up and the
villa was visited, the quarter
master read the chalked inscription
and passed on to another house; and
so all through the siege, to the wonder
Of the care-taker. When the armis
tice was signed and Paris gates we're
opened, NJ. Thomas hurried off to
Argenteuil with sinking heart, being
sure that his dwelling had been pro
famed, if not plundered. To his sur
prise, however, he found it just as he
has left it, and on opening the door
discovered the card of the young
Prussian officer, inscribed with his
name and rank, and the words
Nephew of Meyerbeer."
