The Trouble in Egypt.

AT the lord mayors banquet in London Mr..
Gladstone delivered the following, Justifying
England's war in Egypt: 1t is of vital i'm
portance that the position of Eng and should
not be misunderstood. Forces have gone t.
Egypt in prosecution of great interests of the
empire. Unless those interests exist it would
not have been possible for US to find q
justification for intervention. But let il
be known and proclaimed from this spot, which
affords che mel OF communication with The
world not inferior to the senate itself, tha
those interests are not ours alone, but interests
we have in common with every State in Europe,
nay, with the Whole civilized world"
. referring to the Suez canal, Mr.. Gladstone
said: "It is essential for mankind that thaJ
gate should be open and that the country in
which it lie situated should be peaceable and
orderly and under legal government. The ut
most we have in view though the burden and
the honor of performing it may fall upon our,
selves, is work which it is essential for every
county in Europe TO perform, and the perform
ance of which cannot but rebound, il it be as
sociated with high and disInterested objects, to
the honor of those upon whom the burden il
cast"
Mr. Gladstone continued: "We do not go tc
war with the Egyptian people, but to rescue
them from the oppression OF military tyranny
nor do we make war upon the Mohammedar
religion, as Englishmen respect the convictions
of believers in every other faith. We do moi
want to repress the growth Of liberty in Egypt
but desire that she be prosperous. England
goes to Egypt with clean hands and with nC
secret intention to conceal from other nations

RDles for Riding.

In mounting, face the near side of
the horse. The near side is the side
nearest yourself. If you stand on the
right side of the horse, which is the
wrong side, when you mount, you will
lace the crupper. Then everybody will
know that your name is Johann Gottlieh
Ernsigefolger.
If you cannot mount from the
ground. lead the horse to high fence.
climb up on the fence, say "whoa" two
or three times, and Jump over the
horse's ears. You will light some,
where on his neck, and will have plenty
IF time to adjust yourself while the
horse is running away. Anol her method
of mounting, largely pracIiced by
Young gentlemen from the city, is to
balance yourself on one leg on the
fence, and point the other leg at the
horse in the general direction of the
saddle, saying "Bhoa" all the time
The horse, after this gesture has been
| repeated few times, backs away, pulls
the alleged rider off the fen ce and walks
ur and down the lane with him at 6
rapid gallop. This gives the rider in
about ten minutes all the exercise he
wants for week.
If by some miracle you manage tc
get into the saddle, hold on with bott
hands, and say "whoa." The fastel
the horse goes the tighter you mus
hold on. and the louder you mus
''holler."
If you are from New York or Phila
delphia you will shorten the stirrnp
until your knees are on level will
your chin. Then as you ride you viii
rise to your feet and stand in the atti
tude of man peering over fence e
look for his dog, and then suddenly fal
in the saddle like man who has steppes
op banana peel. This is the Englisl
school. It is hard on the horse, but i
considered very graceful. A ma

The Freezing Cnre.

By means Of freezing parts may be
rendered wholly insensible to pain, so
that slight surgical operations may be
easily performed. When the freezing
is long continued the frozen parts may
lose their vitality entirely, which will
cause them to slough away. By this
means excrescences, as warts, wens and
polypi, fibrous and sebaceous tumors,
and even malignant tumors, as cancers,
may be successfully removed. Small
cancers may sometimes be cured By re-
peatt d and long continued freezing
Their growth may certainly be impt ded
by this means. A convenient mode OF
application in cancer of the breast is to
suspend from the neck a rubber bag
filled with powdered ice, allowing it to
lie against the cancerous organ. FreeZ-
ing may be accomplished by applying a
spray of ether, by means gof an atom
izer, or by freezing mixture composed
of equal parts OF pounded ice and salt.
Mix quickly, put into a gauze bag, and
apply it to the parts frozen. In three
to six minutes the skin will become
white and glistening, then the bag
should be removed. Freezing should
not be continued longer than six min.
utes at time, as the tissues may be
harmed, though usually no harm results
from repeated freezing, if some care is
used in thawing the frozen part. 1t
should be kept immersed in cool water,
or covered with cloths kept cool by fire.
quent wetting with cold water, until
the natural feeling is restored. Felons
may be cured, especially when they first
begin, by freezing two or three times.
Lumbago and sciatica, as we'll as other
forms OF neuralgia. are sometimes al
most instantly relieved by freezing of
the skin Immediately above the painful
part.

Gus Aurellus ordered the gladiators to
fight with blunted swords, as he also
ordered that no rope-dancers should
perform without net or a mattress
being spread beneath them. But such
rare and honorable exceptions only
help to prove the rule. During the
reign of terror in France spirit very
Ike that of the worst period of the
Roman empire was evoked, and it has
been observed that in both cases the
grossest inhumanity was sometimes
found united with affection for ami
mals-that is, for pet animals. Four
nier was devoted to squirrel, Couthon
to his spaniel, and Marat kept doves.
But it way well be questioned whether
these particular affections indicate any
general temper of mercy toward man
kind. Even the most blood thirsty
monster may have sincere partiality
for bis own belongings, paramount, or
friend, or child. 1t is not clear that
the Marshal de Retz, the historical
original of Bluebeard, whose nameless
atrocities might have caused Nero to
blush, was wholly devoid of such feel
ings.

THE WORKMAN's SONG

l will write the songs of the workingman.
And IN sing them, too, for am not one?
Yea, belong to the brotherhood,
And I'll work and sing till the work be
done
Till the who g be finished, spick and span,
And rounded of in the nomeIy shop,
Where honest toll and sweet content
Give Life ami Time their noblest prop.
Then, comrades, come, and sing with me,
10 the end of the toilsome, weary days;
Blend we our songs with the din of work
Till the whole world join In labor's praise :;
With the hammers twang and showers
thud,
And the steaming engines whistle shrilI,
Let the song of the workingman be heard
Till the heavens nd earth with the echoes
fill.
70 the plough, to the plane, IN field or shop,
Go we to the task with a merry song,
And the toll and moil shall be made all sweet
To the heart aad hand of the working
throng,
And anon when Drawn and brain unite
In God and Natures righteous plan,
Ehe world shall give all honor due
10 VIC honest, upright WOrK1ngman,
Who tills the ground with his own right
hand,
And makes his bread with the might Of
Drawn,
Shall awake from slunber's sweet repose
Refreshed and blest on the morrow's
dawr
Who rings we axe and whirrs the saw,
AS rightly becometh him who can,
Procla1ms to the world, in his homely way,
There is honor due to the workingman.
Fhe manifest men on earth to-day,
Are they who work aad still rejoice;
Who well llfes brunt AM burd bear
And hyma its praise with grateful voice
Each treads the earth as noble man,
Gods like 1ess In his honest face,
And shall in the W lited light of time
in the rank of heroes take his place,
