Poison for tho Rejected.

There is custom prevailing among
the inhabitants Of the Sandman ISL
ands which may throw a. little light
upon the civilized use of the wedding
cake. When native girl, whose ex-
ceptional beauty has brought her
many suffers, is knocked down with a
club and carried off by her accepted
lover. the welded pair within forty
eight hours of the wedding send cup
of poison distilled from the hula-hula
tree to each and every one of the
brides former admirers. If any recip-
lent feels that he cannot become recon-
ciled to the marriage, he drinks the
poison and dies but if he decides
that he will survive the loss of his
intended wife, he throws away the
poison and feels bound in honor never
to show the slightest sign of disappoint-
ment. By this admirable system the
husband is spared the pangs of jealousy,
and is able to live on friendly terms
with the surviving admirers of his
wife. Now it is quite possible that
wedding cake was in its origin pre-
cisely analogous to the wedding poison
of the Sandman islanders. 1t may
have been more swiftly fatal in prehis-
toric times than it is at present, and it
may have been used solely with the
view of securing newly-married people
in the possession Of undisturbed happi-
ness. At present it fails to accomplish
this purpose because no one ever dreams
of eating it.-H0'pe1'S B0zar.

The army worm is eating the
grain in Kentucky, little red ants are
eating the army worm, and spar
rows are eating the ants. Now if
something will eat up the sparrows
it will be the elimination of good
work.
From all that the Wheeling Intel.
ligencer can gather as to the crops,
for, say fifty miles around that city,
they will have an assortment this
year that will rank far above the
average. The wheat could scarcely
be better; hay is q very full crop,
and oats, barley, rye and potatoes
are scarcely less so. AS to potato
fields, there seems to be no end to
them. The corn stands well, looks
well, and is doing well-only it is a
little late.

Gratis food for endless comment, as if
it were thing unheard of by them,
much less practiced to the letter.
In order to carry on campaign there
must be funds to defray the neces.
sary expenses, and all those who are
interested in the success of the party
heartily contribute their share. The
stories of threats and compulsion are
only gotten up by the Democrats for
campaign purposes, and are not
credited by an intelligent public. The
assessments are no more than polite
requests for Authenticity voluntary

Mrs. Lincoln's death on Sunday

but assumed the duties incum.
bent on the mistress Of the Execu.
tive Mansion with grace and becom-
ing dignity. There is little doubt
however, but that quiet, retired
life would have spared her many
Affections, while ON the other hand
there are thousands of ambitious
mortals who would shine in society
no matter at how great a cost. It
lent an additional misery, however,
to her later years, when again
forgotten By the world in
which she once occupied an exalted
position, she more severely felt that
cold neglect and forgetfulness, as
inevitable in life as in death.

1t looks as if our Democratic friend,
Hon. b. +. Brady, who has stood the
burden and heat Of many battles in
defence of his party, is now to be
thrown overheard and denied re
endorsement at the hands of Berke-
ley Democrats. Well, he is one of
the barefootedv and must stand
from under. All that is expected
from him now is his yOte.-StGtcsman.
And how about brother McKow-
en- i-also very competent gentle
man and faithful to tho party. No
pledges in the way, we trust. Be as
consistent, brother Eichelberger, as
You are fearless, for it is the greater
virtue. 1t is true, Hon. b. F. Brady
has stood the blunt of the battle in
the hour of the party's greatest need
and merits the hearty re-endorse-
ment of Berkeley Democrats; but
ON the other hand is a young man of
promising ability and service to the
party, who at least might expect
more than thrust so deadly from q
quarter so friendly.

guiShed, ana ponce forces arc Oelng
organized to maintain order. Plum
derers and insurgents are summary
dealt with, but the horrors of war
have spread to other cities, the Eu-
ropean PORTIONS of which are threat
ened with destruction, especially at
Cairo. Arab Pasha has retired
with his army to point on the cas-
tern Nile. opposite Port Said, the en-
trance to the Suez Canal, buring and
pillaging the country through which
he passed. His object is to delay
operations until the arrival Of the
Prophet El-Mehedi, who is march
ing in the direction Of Cairo excit-
ing the people to insurrectiOn and
swelling his ranks by thousands.
To all appearance the Turks and
Mohammedans will unite in a holy
war, which will excite them to a
deadly struggle. The scenes in
Alexandria during the lombard
ment were only such as a mob rule
could produce-everything was CIV
en- up to plumber and those of the
Europeans and other foreign resi-
dents who were unable to escape on
board some vessel were murdered.
All the progress the missionaries
have made in the last years has been
destroyed in day.
The Egyptian question involves in
more or less trouble all the European
powers. English interference for the
safety of the Suez Canal was no more
UNSUITABLE than was it her sole OBJ
ject. II is a policy of England to
rule by force, and as the victor she
always claims the spoils. France has
as much interest in the Suez as has
England, and Italy has her own COM
merce to protect. John Bright has
resigned from the Gladstone Cabinet,
because he believed the Khedive
and Arab Pasha should have been
left to settle their own disputes. Tho
dissolution OF tho French Ministry is
threatened. Germany is only await.
ing the action Of the other powers,
whsn her policy will be made known.
The present sovereign Of Egypt,
Nohammed Tewflk, is nominally
the viceroy Of the Sultan of Turkey,
of whose dominions Egypt is theor-
esticslly part. BY various firmans
or DEGREES he enjoys the privileges
of an independent hereditary mon
arch, with the Persian-Arabic title
Of Khidiv. el- Misr, or King Of Egypt,
rendered "the Khedive."
AS such monarch he and his pre-.
decsssors have contracted various
public debts, a large portion of which
are held by British and French sub.
ects, and for the better securing
their payment Tewfik placed, in 1879
and 1880, the management of the
Egyptian finances in the hands Of
TWO Comptrollers-General, one APP
by Great Britain aud ono
~ France, virtually constituting
hem hia administrative officers.
A gainst this management Arab
Bey, representing tho native politi-
,al element of the country, rebelIed,
and the Khedive has been unable
10 subdue him. The present militia
~ proceedings have been taken by
Great Britain, therefore, for the pur-
pose OF overthrowing Arab and re.
storing the power to the Khedive-I
that is, to the English and French
officials to whom he has intrusted
it.

Arab Pasha has cut the Ma
hamondieh canal, which supplies the
city OF Alexandria with water. 1t is
estimated that the water stored in
the cisterns will last ten days, and
after that the populace will be obliged
to leave the city unless the insurgent
army is driven away and the canal
restored.

One of the most important mat
ters to tie newspaper fraternity dis
cussed at the late meeting of the

that of proper rates for foreign ad-
vertising. Why foreign advertis-
ers should have lower rates than
home patronage We never could I'M
derstand. Advertising agencies will
send publishers columns of matter
ut their own prices, "less the usual
commission" and when you object
they reply that other papers publish

time and again brought before the

was that publishers give their word

and we are sure there is as much
honor among West Virginia publish.
