"A SINGULAR case of the disappearance
OF boy, his supposed death and burial,
and subsequent return home alive and
hearty has just been brought to light in
Baltimore. Willie Woodhead is bright
interesting lad, about fifteen years of age
and the son of the foreman of the work
shops of the city Jail. About the mid
die of June he disappeared, and, al
though the anxious parents hunted far
and near, no traces of the absent bow
led to his discovery. Detectives were en-
ployed and he was traced to a number of
places Finally paragraph cut from
newspaper was shown to the father about
boy who had been killed by the cars at
Johnstown, Pa. The clothing and de-
scription corresponded with that of the
lad, and n photograph in possession of the
family also seemed to set all doubts at
rest as to his identity. The remains were
exhnmed, and, though very much de-
composed, the father recognized the fea-
lures. The mother and family were NJ.

funeral Later the mother was WALKING
along the streets of Baltimore when she
suddenly met the son that she mourned

her boy until he threw his arms around
her neck and called her mother. He gave
an account of his SaDderings, saving

suade some of the family that the real
Willie Woodhead was not an imposter,
so firmly were they convinced that they
had Laid their boy in the grave.

WHILE political parties are actively
engaged in organizing for the fall cam
paign in the various States, the tenn
perance people are marshaling their
forces with the view of taking hand in
the contest at the polls. The Prohi-
bitionists of Nebraska, assembled at
Lincoln, addressed aletter to the Chair
men of the Republican, Democratic and
Greenback State Central Committees
on the subject of a Constitutional pro-
vision prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors in the State
The letter declares in substance that a
failure to receive recognition from
either party will result in an independ-
ent temperance party being formed at
once. They argue that if each party
will favor submitting the measure to
the people it will take the matter out
side of party politics, and leave the
people free to decide the question of
prohibition, entirely untrammeled by
party affiliations. In Indiana the tenn
Perance people are becoming quite
active. The same may be said of ILL.,
nois and other States, and the Prohi-
bitionists seem determined to push
their work until the question can be
brought directly to issue before the
people at the polls.

AFFAIRS IN EGYPT.

The British made a reconnaissance in
force at Alexandria on the 4th, which
brought on general engagement, with con-
siderable loss on both sides. The object of
the British operations. which was to com.
pei the enemy to display what force and
what guns they had in front of the main
position. was completely attained. This
was ascertained by nightfall, when the
British were slowly and steadily withdrawn.
AFFAIRS in and around Alexandria tho
9Th were quiet. The armed train of tho
British that had been sent to Mahalla juno
ton returned without engaging the enemy.

troops from Kafr ell Dwar. Arab Bey,s
forces, are entrenching between Aboukir
and Ramleh and on the western bank of
the Mahmoudieh canal. A train full of
rebels proceeded to Mahalla Junction, in
tending to destroy the railway. A few
rounds from the forty Founders in the
Ramleh lines compelled them to withdraw.
Admiral Seymour does not intend to sur

A CORRESPONDENT at Alexandria, re-

erected earthworks opposite the British
line, fronting Aboukir, not far from the
sea, and was trying to work around the

entertained no doubts of the final
triumph of the principles of the Asso-

Two candidates for Congress in North
Carolina, opened the campaign in a novel
but interesting manner. 1t was duly
advertised that the proceedings would be
opened by two marriages. The brides
were two pretty girls of the county and
the husbands-elect well-to-do young
farmers, and the brides were given away
by the two leading orators of the occas-
ion. Of course this brought an immense
crowd. An acceptable feature of the
day, at least to the new matrimonial
candidates, was each couple received a
present of complete outfit for house
keeping from the rival candidates for
Congress.

LADY applicants for positions in the In
terror Department under the recently au-
thori5ed increase in the clerical force, and
who failed to receive recognition, held an
indignation meeting in Washington and or
ganized - The Women's National Labor
Organization. After adopting severe reso-
lutions against those having power to APP
point, they declared they would call upon
the women of America and labor organixa-
lions throughout the land to unite with
them in their honest efforts in behalf of wo-
men who work for living. They resolved
further to call upon soldiers to defend the
rights OF soldiers "widows and orphans"
who have been shut out by 'this one man
power"
THE Sultan has finally issued his procla-
nation that Arab Pasha, having the second
time transgressed law by taking authority
that does not belong to him, and having
presumed to menace vessels belonging to
old and tried friends of Turkey. is for these
misdeeds proclaimed a rebel together with
his adherents. Obedience is due solely TO
the khedive, who is the representative of
the Sultan. When Mrs. Stone was recently
leaving Cairo, Akoub Pasha expressed re-
greet that Gen. Stone had cast his lot with
Egypt. He begged Mrs. Stone to tell her
husband the Egyptian army would show
how greatly it had profted by the twelve
years instruction it had received from him.

THE fact that Riccitti GaribaIdi and a

Egypt to aid Arab Bey may not of itself
amount to much but it is somewhat sig

one long. continual contest between him
and his satanic majesty for the rulership of
his Kingdom. Satan at length got the dead
lock on him, and threw him out of his
realm. For years afterwards, Jim was a
wanderer from star to star and from world
to world, seeking a congenial place where
in he could rest himself and lave his aching
brow. He finally returns to the hands of
his childhood and finds a lodgment in the
bosom of a Disciple of Esculapius, and so
entwines himself around the old mans heart
strings, that he has never been able to shake
him of. jim, whose early training was bad,
and being of a restless nature, never could
be pursuaded to lie still long. He has caused
his benefactor great anxiety, and been cor
rupter of good morals, and a practitioner OF
base infamy. OF him in the language OF
Shakespeare might be said:
equity thou art OF murder and OF theft:
Guilty OF perjury and subornation
Guilty of treason, forgery, and shift;
Guilty of incest, that abomination:
An accessory by thine inclination
