A great scandal occurs to my mind,
a. happening at Cairo in 1880. Scheikk
Hamuda Berda lived in quarter of tho
town less fashionable than is generally
Affected by wea}thy saints, who have
gained public recognition. With modest
assurance he declared that Allah had
personally granted him authority to
cure all diseases. By the hand of Ma
bonnet himself, the Merciful One con-
tided to him drugs and lotions which
restored the sight, replaced an ampu-
tated limb, and 80 on. Az for mere pains
and aches he removed them at word.
during many years residence at Cairo.
vast number of persons protited by
his supernal skill, but he specially laid
himself out for female patients. In la
ter times, the good man found hisprac-
tica so large that he could no longer at
tend to poor people. From every part Of
Egypt, Ar bia and Syria, wealthy la
dies came to consult the Scheikh, and
of course they brought a handsome pres
ent,
One day, toward the middle of last
year, the young wife of Izzet Bey,
colonel in the Egyptian service, propos-
ed to visit him for an affection of the
eyes The Colonel sent her with prop
er retinue of attendants, who returned,
| know not why, after depositing their
mistress at the door of Ham uda Berda.
She entered with favorite slave, but
never came out again. For some days
her husband was not alarmed, since
surgical operations demand a certain
time. Anxious at length, he called upon
the ScheIkh, whose manner was not re-
assuring. He protested that the young
woman had left on the evening of her
arrival, cured. The Colonel was not
satisfied. He appealed to the police, and
they searched the dwelling minutely;

Expep ses of earneId's Ill.ess.

WASHINGTON, March % There
seems to be an impression respecting
the unadj listed accounts of the expenses
Of the illness Of the late President, lead.
ing to the expectation that their audit
by the committee and the ordering Of
their payment by the House will necss.
sarily involve a discussion Of the items
Of the expenses incurred by ex-Ser.
geant-at. Arms Thompson. This Is o
mistake. All Of Mr.. Thompson's bills
have been paid, under the authority of
. resolution unanimously adopted by
the House on February 4.
Among the vouchers to his accounts
we're the bills for wines and other
liquors, lunches, ETC., respecting which
80 much has recently been said. The
accounts which remain unadjusted are
bills for the services of surgeons and
attendance, medicines and surgical sup.
plies, ice cooling apparatus, carriage
hire, undertaker's bill, etc. Besides
the amount recommended by majori.
ty of the committee for the surgeons,
nurses, ETC., the items aggregate about
81, 600, and while in the opinion of sew.
eral mem bers of the committee some of
the charges are extravagant, there is
nothing In the items TO excite criticism.
1t is understood that Mr.. Black kburn,
who Ia a member of the committee
strongly objects to the allowances re.
commended for some OF the surgeons,
and will criticise their severely.

Corner in Quluine.

A number of capitalists in London
have succeeded in making q corner in
Peruvian bark and for the first time in
the history Of the quinine trade it has
become the property of speculators.
Late last December syndicate wss
formed at the English metropolis to
buy all the Peruvian Darkin the mar
ket and to force the prices up. The
of the syndicate held about
Il, 900 bales and AZ once purchased
10, 900 more-all that was then in Lon
don-together with large quantity
"to arrive" The price of bark at once
went up about 40 per cent. and quinine
jumped from ST. 80 to 81 80 per ounce.
In short time the operators had on
hand 40, 900 bales Of bark and at pres.
ent are holding stock to the amount of
little less than $4,000 bales-about two
thirds Of the entire stock in all the
markets. The result has been that the
as TO the future of the qui-
nine market has produced quinine
speculating fever and large operations
are being carried on in Philadelphia
and in New York.
