barber to suspicious-looking transient
customer, who affably remarked, as the
lather. was being laid on, that he sup
posed there were great many men who
failed to pay their shaving scores. @No,
sir, 1 used to give credit, but I never do
it now-in fact, nobody ever asks for
tick any more" aHow's that?" well,
you see," said the barber, trying the
edge of his razor on his thumb nail, II
had set of stifs who used to ask me to
chalk it down. I got tired Of keeping
books, and I adopted a new system.
Whenever I shaved one of these old
standbys I put nick in his nose with
my razor, and kept tally in that way.
They got so they didn't want to run
ollis.' There was tremor in the Gus
toner's voice, as he asked from beneath
the lather: DO you object to being
paid in advanced"

The Wood Floors of Russia.

The finest floors are said to be seen in
Russia. For those Of the highest grade
tropical woods are exclusively employed.
Fir and pine are never used, as in con-
sequence Of their sticky character they
attract and retain dust and dirt, and
therefore soon become blackened. Pitch
pine, too, is liable to shrink, even after
being well seasoned.
The mosaic wood floors in Russia are
often Of extraordinary beauty. One in
the Summer Palace is of small squares
of ebony inlaid with mother-of-pearl.s A
considerable trade is done in Dantzic and
Riga by exporting small blocks of oak
for parquette floors. There is an active
demand for these in France and Ger
many, but none in England.

The Journal did want to build an opera

EGYPTIAN SITUATION.

Little change of moment in the sitna-
ton of affairs in Egypt has occurred
since the occupation Of Alexandria by
the English after the bombardment.
Arab Pasla, the leader Of the revolution,
is encompassed with considerable force
at Ramleh, near Alexandria, and has
been strengthening bis position by Dig
ging intrenchments and throwing up
Qualifications. The British have adj
yanced within range of Arabs works
and are preparing to attack him. Sew
eral skirmishes haye already taken place
and unless the rebels surrender, gen
eral engagement within the next few
days is more than probable.
The latest news received is to the
effect that Arab Pasha has proposed to
capitulate if he and his principal con-
federates are permitted to leave the
country. If this report proves true,
doubtless the proposition will be accep'
ted and peace speedily established.
Turkey has agreed to send troops te
Egypt to assist in restoring order and
will dispatch an expedition Immediately
Meanwhile the British will not suspend
aggressive movements, but contemplated
an advance upon Arabs outposts las
evening.
It is anticipated that half the Egyptian
cotton crop and nearly all the whea
crop of lower Egypt will be lost b,
reason Of the neglect Of irrigation arisin
