THE latest Partisan sensation is
bathed in the lurid light of the last
moments of d transformation scene.
Mile Feyghine's life and death is an
eloquent sermon upon the dangers
that follow hard upon such a career
as hers. With nothing but a hand
some face and form and stage pres
ence to recommend her, she filled for
a time most exalted position in
French society, and was regarded as
proficient, not only as an actress.
but a sort Of female athlete, hand
ling the fencing swords as eXpertly
as the fan. To round out her un-
happy fate, poor Mile Feyghine
must needs fall in love with an I'm
dersized pronigate with a noble
name. Finding him about to wed
and ready to cast her off, the pretty
alleged Jewess and Nihilist, who had
worn all these titles as q halo to en-
nance her charms, ended her brief
life with a pistol. AS compared with
this unwholesome picture, what

THE recent completion of mon
strous locomotives, weighing twice
as much as those considered large
ten years ago,and built for travelling
at greatly increased speed, leads
thinking people to wonder whether
advancement in road-bed building
keeps pace with the multiplying re
quirements of motive power and
rolling stock. To place a fifty-ton
engine on anything but the best of
steel rails, supported by road-bed
of the most substantial nature, and

to reproduce the folly Of new wine

THE war of the soldiers in Egypt
is virtually over for the present, and
now the war of the diplomats win
begin. The progress Of Wolseley
was watched from the various courts
of Europe. not merely to learn how
soon the revolt Of Arab would be
crushed, for that was a foregone
conclusion and matter of short time
at most, but to see how that progress
was effecting the relations of the
Powers to each other. The Powers
have been neutral in the war, but 10y
no means disinterested. France,
while taking no active part in the
contest, has been the moral ally Of
England, and it is safe to say viii
cooperate with her i'm settling up
the affairs Of Egypt. The two have
acted in harmony on the Eastern
question ever since the present trou-
bles began, and have in a consider
able degree an identity of interest
The power which England will have
to meet first in the diplomatic field
win evidently be Germany when
Lhe news from Tel FL Kebir reached
that country it's press paid much less
attention to the battle than to the
political significance which it bore.
Germany has her own immediate ia.
terests i'm the East, and in the East
she finds a favorable spot ON which
to confront her powerful and none
too friendly neighbor, the Empire Of
Russia. The more decided the stand
Of Germany relative to the settle
ment Of the problem ia Egypt the
more closely will France unite her
self with England. The moment
that the war in Egypt is officially
pronounced at an end, the iuterna-
tional hates and ambitions Of Europe
win break out anew in state papers

The BrOken.Hearted.

George D. Prentice was, perhaps.
best known as wit, puns.er and no.
litical writer, but from his facile nen
flowed also the sentimental and the
beautiful. The following DESCRIPTION
has lost none Of Its freshness and
beauty:
About two years ago took up NV
residence in country village in the
eastern part of New England. Soon
after my arrival | became acouainted
with young lady, apparently about
seventeen years of age. She had lost
the idol Of her hearts purest love
and the shadows Of deep and holv
memories were resting like the wings
Of death upon her brow.
L first met her in the presence of
the mirthful. She was indeed a crpo-
ture to be admired her brow was
garlanded with the young year s sweet
est flowers, and her sunny tresSes
were hanging beautiful and low mon
her bosom, and she moved through
the crowd with such a floating, IN
earthly grace, that the bewildered
gaSer looked almost to see her fade
away into the air like the creature Of
a pleasant dream. She smiled but
there was something in her smile
which told me its mournful beau
ty was but the reflection Of
"a tear, but her eyelids
pressed heavily down, as if struR-
Cling to represS the tide of agony that
was bursting up from her hearts urn
She looked as if she could have left
the scene of feslivity and gone ont
beneath the quiet stars and laid her
forehead upon the fresh, green earth
and poured out her heart stricken
soul, cash after cash, till it mingled
with the eternal fountain of purity and
lite.
Il have lately heard that the younv
lady OF whom | have spoken is dead
The close Of her life was calm as the
signing of the breeze that fingers toT
time around a bed of withered roses
and then dies for very sweetness
1T sannot be that earth is mans
only abiding place. 1t cannot be that
our life is bubble cast up BY the
ocean ct eternity, to float momept
upon its surface and then sink into
nothingness and darkness forever: else
why is it that the high and plorious
aspirations which leaplike angels from
the temple of our hearts are forever
wondering abroad unsatisfed? Whv
is il that the stars, which hold their
festival around the midnight throne
are not set above the grasp Of our limi-
ted faculties, and forever hooking us
With their unapprOachable glory2 And.
hnally, why is il that the forms OF hu-
man beauty are presented to tho view
and taken from us, leaving the thous-
and streams Of affection to flow hack
in alpine torrents upon oar heartsf''

summer ProbahIlitles.
New York Herald, IS.


For ten days the weather over the
country has been steadily improving
with a corresponding Improvement Of
the agricultural outlook. The season
is nevertheless still somewhat anoma-
lousy backward, as the Herald last
month predictedit would continue to
be up to this time, the sun apparently
having little of its usual June fervor;
but there is no reason TO conclude that
the amount Of solar heat now radiated
on the continent is leas than normal.
The true explanation of the compare
lively cool weather seems rather to be
that the amount OF aqueous vapor in
the atmosphere, but the very heavy
raiDfalls recently reported album
dainty prove that the arial currents
are abnormally charged with moisture,
The country south Of the fortieth
parellel has been in fact screened from
the suns radiation very much as some
of the West India islands, where the
vapor laden trade wind shialds the
soil fr1p the qereest rays. Even at
Barbados, within about twelve degrees
from the equator, the thermometer as
rule rises in summer only to So, that
being the absolute maxi@Um heat
given in the British records.
If this is the explanation Of our cool
season it would seem the evaporation
in the tropical seas has been for some
time in excess, which would indicate
that the suns energy at this period il
really greater than it usually is. In
this case we should naturally expect

its presence is not suspected. It

difficult to find. Woman's aid il
needed in combating it. Generally
women confne their efforts to reform
