TIE war in Egypt is over. The
decisive fight has taken place, and
the churches of England are Offering
to the God Of Battles their thankful
praises. The soldiers of Arab
Pasha-half of them a mere rabble
are disastrously defeated, and
Englishmen are discussing the affair
as though the enemy had been a
frst-class military power. The
victory was a foregone conclusion
so far as actual fighting was con
concerned. The real contest was
with the forces of nature, the hot
sun, the suffocating air, the burning
sand, and the host of ellis that flesh
is heir to- even in the '1and OF
Goshen
That good, great good, will eventu-
ally come out of this conquest oI
Egypt, we believe, as we believe
good arises, proyidentially, out O.
every war, and, as Lowell well says,
Not but wu abstract war is horrid,

Mr.. BALLARD, an English civil
engineer, has contributed a small
book to Egyptian Pyramldliterature,
in which he maintains, with a good
deal of ingenuity, that the great
monuments were merely "the theod--
olites of the Egyptlans.'..

EDITOR FREEMAN: In obedience
to call in our regular temperance
work, a good congregation appeared
at the M. E, Church, on the 10Th
inst, testifying by their counte-
nances that their interest in the hui
name work of Temperance had not
died out. Excellent addresses were
made by Messrs. Glazier, Alder
man, Kise and Rev. VIM. Thorn
as. The latter, in connection with
two laymen, J. T. Goodeno and
c. Leisure were chosen delegates
to represent our community in a
Convention called to meet in Cleve-
land, Ohio, March 23d, to express
a sentiment in favor of the Smith
Amendment of the Stubs Law
Said amendment making it COM
pulsory for all dram shops to cease
their work of death on the Lords
Day. A little progress was report
ed in our temperance movements.
Through the perseverance of Mr..
Alderman, and others, the wretch
ed den of Mrs. Henderson,, hes
been pronounced a nuisance, and
her nefarious business henceforth
70 cease, by the order Of the Court.
We have still another pest
e where billiards and liquors

death. The wretched salesman

town along temperance lines. Some
young men are being reformed and
parents begin to realize how much
their boys are worth. If poison

this place, it must be done unaot-

CARELESS of the decline in the price

regularly supplied with the gospel,

RITCHIE COUNTY.
In Richie county-sober, steady
Ritchie-there are rumblings of an
grooming storm Of no meagre di-
mansions, and it may, when it
bursts in it's fury, brighten hand
full of politicians. Somebody's rep
resentative in the House of Dele
gates, has decided, by his late vote
on the proposed prohibition amend
ment, that he did not consider his
people capable of expressing an
Intelligent choice. When the soft
October snowfakes fall, he may be
convinced that he was mistaken.
1t is whispered that some drug
stores in Ritchle Gould help more
effectively in the temperance bat
tie if they only would. Oh, those
drug stores
There are rumors of an existing
iug-line extending from Parkers-

Waiting.

WalClnS.
Down THE RIVER, March, '82.
ED. FREEMAN: To wait for a
boat is as hard work with us poor
pay as anything that I can think
of under the sun. To wait an hour
or two is not SO bad, but when it
comes to waiting eight or ten hours
or sixteen, as l had to do sometime
ago, it is enough to try the pa
thence of asaint. Job had the pa
thence to endure all things-in his
day, but I don't suppose he ever
had to sit up all night, waiting for
a boat, when important work was
SO pressing him that every minute
seemed an hour.
When overtaken by such a ca
lamity it might not be so bad if
one could be alone, for then he
could read or write, or revel in
thoughts of the sublime, but in
company, with three or half
dozen others, who are anxiously
and impatieutly waiting for the
same boat, one can't enjoy any too
much satisfaction. Every few min
utes, slam, goes the door, and some
one goes out to 'listen." Now he
comes in and the probabilities of
the case are discussed. AS we be-
gin to hope for quiet, the wind
suddenly howls, and grape vine
is drawn across the corner of the
house, and, as if rubbed with rosin,
it shrieks like a steam whistle.
"There, there" exclaim number
of voices in concert: "there comes
our boat" All is excitement. Bag
gage is grabbed up promiscuously,
our hat is knocked Of, and some
fellow who acts as if he never saw
boat before, tramples our new
overcoat under foot. In the midst
of this tumult they rush out and
onward as if determined, like the
herd of swine, to 60 headlong into
the sea. When good breath is
drawn and they take time to look,
there's not a boat in sight, nor to
be heard. Comfortably seated
again, they proceed to quarrel with
themselves for being SO stupid as
to allow chat old grape vine" to
make such "fools" of them. So it
goes and so we are annoyed. One
can hardly keep from-piously
wishing that some people were in
Heaven. Brother Ike, it's a solemn
fact that during the last two weeks
we have put in no less than IS
hours waiting for behind-the-time
boats. Just the other day we es-
saved to take one of these tardy
boats to task for its slowness, but
what we would call a harmless rep
rimand, called forth a retort that
set us aback for a moment, why
don't you have a telephone along
the river and you'll know when to
expect u.s." This was a sumner.
Well, we've thought some of or
ganizing a telephone company
since that time, but the trouble is
we have scarcely any time left af-
ter the "boat comes" More wait
ing than anything else.
But after all, dear FREEMAN,
boats are not the only slow things
in this world. The people of West
Virginia have been waiting more
than a year for the stately ship,
The Legislature, to lay to long
enough to unship an amendment
to our Constitution, prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants
as a beverage, but it comes not.

and if they can gain the helm,
will "put out to sea-" A law reg
ulating dogs is enacted and dumped

Isn't the Jacksonville Times OVERRIDING the

crime but quite another to endeavor 10 frghten
people away from The locality because of it, A
paragraph in that paper Of the 18th is in excusa-
BILE TIil,iGsSse Flordtdn
As we view the matter, strangers should be
distinctly and emphaiicaly warned off from any
locality in which such defiant and unblushing
crime as tue Madison murder Is allowed To go
anNhipt OF justice Ii is not We who have de-
creed that that which We SOW that shall We also

This is not the first instance in which
crime has gone 8 unwhipt of justice for
a season. but it is the first instance in
which a newspaper in Florida, We believe,
has undertaken to injure a whole commu
nituy because of the lawless act of few.
The Times knows that the brutal murder
of Savage and James grew out of the
brutal murder By Savage and James of
Paterson-a quiet, inoffensive and peace
able young man, by all accounts; and it
knows, OF ought to know, that the ami
mostly excited by the one murder ex-
hausted itself when the other was accom-
pllshed. If this be so, what possible dan
ger can there be to strangers" who may
visit Madison: Have any of this class
been mclested, insulted or threatened !?
Are they not as SAT- now as before that
shocking tragedy? But the warning to
all concerned " goes beyond Madison. 1t
is a blow at the whole country rest of
Madison, which strangers cannot visit,
either for pleasure or business, at least by
rail, without passing by the locality
where these crimes were committed. But
the zeal of the Times is new born We
recall in vain any warning to strangers
to avoid Leesburg. The murderers of
Dickson had none of the excuses which
the Madison murderers had. Dickson
had murdered no one and To this day his
murderers have gone unwhipt of JUS

existence since that somewhat recent
crime, but its Indignation ought not to
falter on that account Dickison's muir
derers, like the murderers of Savage and
James, are still unpublished" and if the
Times is going to recognize all unpun-
ished crimes of violence as danger sig
mails, ," it should convey the warning to
all concerned with rigid impartiality.
The Leesburg murder is not quite so fresh
as the one at Madison, but the Times
should make it fresh, otherwise it may be
suspected of having sinister purpose in
picking out Madison as the spe .ial object
Of its warning" If we are not mista-

at Centrevile, in this county, Saturday last by
the Leon Ethiopian Combination Troupe.
What the real merits of this little play might
haze been if it had been presented TO the public as
originally drafted by its gifted authors, IT is quite
impossible now to say. But the players saw fit
10 take most unwarranlable liberties with the
text and to the great discOmforture of The COM
posers rendered il in a way quite unacceptable
to these anxious originator Throughout the
performance was noticeat'e an utter disregard
of the authors purposes, and while the public
are constrained to admit that the alterations and
substitutions as officially made by the Troupe are
a palpabe improvement on the original text,
they can but sympathize with the poor men for
whose peculiar talents these people evinced so
little regard. The elimination of the plot in the
original play, as intended by its authors was TO
occur in the last of this third act in grand
chorus by the entire Troupe This was most
capitally done on Saturday. but, as before re-
marked with some very marked changes in the
score. For instance, that touching passage in
