The shibboleth Of the Bourbon faction is the
defeat OF "Bossism overthrow and des-
truction of one man power in the State, the
rescue of the Commonwealth from "yile
norde," as they put it, and to this end the
whole power Of the faction is invoked to
come to the support of Boss Massey. Well,
it is perfectly natural that such mythical
issue should be presented. There is no other
for it to make. All the facts and arguments
affecting the practical interests OF the people
are against them. They have been tried in
the management of the affairs of State and
proved false to every trust They violated
the plighted faith of the Commonwealth in
the enactment of the constitutional amend
ments which circumvented and defied the in
tent and purpose of the National Constitution.
In dealing with the State debt, burdens were
imposed upon the people too heavy to be
borne, augmenting each year and leading
to certain dishonor and disgrace. The public
schools were paralyzed under Bourbon admin
istration; the right of suffrage encountered
with price; the ballot-box polluted and con-
yerted into an instrument of fraud and on
preston, instead of an expression of the free
mems will humanity disgraced by the revival
of the whipping post; the State placed at the
mercy of class of parvenues and pretenders,
who assumed to be the "best people," be-
cause possibly they had rubbed up against col
lege walls at other peoples expense, and their
fathers had numbered their slaves by hun
dreds, bet at horse races and sported in the
chase; sectional and race prejudices and hates
were melted and encouraged, and distrust and
disgust melted against Virginia because of
these things. And they worked out an enviable
result in the overthrow of the faction that

their misdeeds and misdoings. The debt

Egyptian Affairs,

A skirmish engagement took place be-
tween the English and Egyptian troops on
Saturday last, in which the English lost
four killed and twenty. II inc wounded. The
loss of the Egyptians is estimated larger.
Admiral Seymour refers to the engagement
as follows "Our force consisted of two
hundred men, a naval brigade, with one
fOrty-pOunder and two nine pounder guns,
under Capt. Fisher; a thousand marines
under Col. Tuson; half battalion of the
Thirty-eighth and Forty-sixth Regiments,
and all the Sixtieth Regiment. We had a
skirmish with the enemy, which was two
thousand strong withs six guns and six rock
cts from half past 5 until half past7 Id the
evening. Total casualties to the naval
brigade and marines, two killed and twen-
ty-two wounded.
Col. Allison, who commanded the Eng
lish advance, said his object had been &C.
cOmplished when he ascertained the strength
and position of Arab ?asha's forces. and
then he withdrew. The same information
might have been secured by two or three
scouts, instead of force OF 2 1000 men, and
the loss of four killed and 80 wounded.
At the sitting Of the Conference of the
Powers on Saturday, Lord Dufferin again
insisted upon the proclamation of Arab
Pasha as a rebel. He further called atten-
tian to the fact that the Porte had not yet
given a written statement of ita adhesion
to the identical note. He said England
might regard the delay as actual refusal,
and act accor dinghy. The Turk ish dele
gates promised written reply at the next
meeting Of the Conference.
The situation is very threatening grow
ing out of Egyptian affairs. The Sultan
is very obstinate. England is greedy, and
demands that all movements shall be under
her direction and virtual control. Russia
is snarling, and is making warlike prep
arations at Odessa, in view of the posi-
bility Of complications between Turkey
and England. France is undecided and
the same with Italy. In the meantime
England is preparing for war ON an
extended scale. The Egyptians are gath
ering in great force to the support Of A RAJ
bi Pasha; and altogether the situation looks
warlike and bloody.

Alfred Breslow dropped dead in his house
in Philadelphia, from heart disease. His wife
coming in and seeing him PROSTATE, was
thrown into spasms. His pretty daughter
rushed into the street screaming. The people
rushed in and the corps was carried to anoth-
er part of the house. An officer from the cor
oner's Office made hasty examination, and
the next day when the wife and daughter par
TALLY recovered from the shock occasioned by
tile sudden death, found that Mr.. Breslow had
had been taken to the Morgue. Examination
then led to the information that the body had
been sent to the Potter's field. Inquiry then
showed this record-"Breslow. dutchman, from
Morgue-planted in the trench" When the
point of planting" was looked for, it could
not be found. Then the man in charge
admitted that it had been sent to the dissect-
ing rooms of one of the medical colleges. A
LAWYER and the wife and daughter went
through all of them without finding clue
The old man at the Potters' field getting scar
ed. told them it had been turned over to DR..
Keen's school. The dead bodies there are
kept in vat in brine, and held down by
boards and heavy weights to preserve them
until needed The lawyer, wife and daughter
and the Potter's field man went there, and the
latter removed his shoes and stockings and
with pole went into the vat, fishing out some
fifteen bodies, and asking the wife if that was
the man as each one was raised 'up. But
neither answered to the description of the old
German and at last accounts the place of his
concealment was not known. This is one of
the ways of body snatching, and how the med
ical schools are furnished with subj cts. The
lawyer, however, has his blood up, and says
he has not finished his investigation. NV

by Mr.. Hunter. The remedy he would pro-

our notion, make things worse than they
are now.
We might comment on other points in

ceptiOn of the real issue in this canvass
and the influences to grow out If it. We

The Potomac flats are to be reclaimed now
that the RIVER and Harbor bill has become a
law. So soon as the Kldwell claim on the
malaria breeding flats in front of the city can
be disposed of, work will begin under the RiY-
er and Harbor appropriation to finish out the
ragged edge of the river front and cause that
now rcpulslve locality to become one of the
most charming and attractive portions of the
Capital City. With substantial sea-wall
along the proposed new line of the river front
giving good depth of water at the wharves
and landings, and the utilization OF the sever
al hundred acres of land reclaimed for parks
lakes, drives, and promenades, interspersed
with fountains, foliage and statuary, it will
convert this portion of the city into one of the
most magnificent of its many attractions. The
proposed improvement will be a continuation
of the Mall from the Capitol to the Observable
ry site, including the Botanical Garden, Smith
sonian, Agricultural Department, and Monu-
ment grounds.

He may yet be restored to the confidence of

this will be the case, and certainly hope 30.

increased at least four more. By the Straight

A Good Word for Ensilage.

Professor johnson, of the Michigan Agri-
cultural College. says this good word for en-.
silage, after practically testing it: was not
at all sanguine when we began the expert
ment as to the decided merits of ensiage, as
claimed by many writer's, but have been
much pleased with the result of the feeding.
The convenience in handling the prepared
fodder; the large amount that can be stored
in small place the avidity with which cat
tie eat it, and thrive and grow when a meal
ration is fed with 1t the fact that it can be
stored in wet time. during lowery weather,
when fodder could not be cured the furnish
ing of succulent food for the stock during our
long winters. at small cost-these are some
of the reasons that lead me to think the en-
silaging of corn especially will prove to be a
practical and profitable method Of preparing
food for stock. think it may take the place
of roots and be cheap substitute for them.
| am disposed to believe that best results will
be secured by feeding one daily ration of dry
fodder in connection with ensilage. The ex-
pertinent shows that it is not complete food
ration. meal ration adapted to the animal
for the desired result, must be fed with it,
The last winter was exceptionally favorable
for the feeding of fodder of this character, on
account Of its extreme mildness, the mean
temperature being about "a degrees during
the time embraced in the feeding. With
severe weather the results might be less
fay orable.

What a Kentucky Rooster Did.

A rather peculiar instance of the talents Of
a gamecock occurred one afternoon recently
on the corner of Clay and Gray streets, in
the back yard of Lorr, the huckster. 1t ap-
pears that Mrs. Lorr had just purchased a
few chickens, and in the lot were found two
of decided male gender. These two were
inclined to be aggressive, but had put on their
war paint under almost fatal circumstance =.
A next door neighbor Of Lorr is one Ban gs,
who keeps genuine gamecocE that has
passed through the terrible arena of the pit
and wears the honorable scars of many a
bloody conflict in the modern amphitheatres.
This cock makes his home about half the
time in Mrs. Lorrs ward, and was there when
the newcomers were thrust i'll. 1t was only
short time until the arrangements had been
perfected and the game chicken tackled both
of the others and was rapidly getting the best
of them when Mrs. Lorr came to the rescue
with stick. Nothing dsunted by the sud
denness of this flank movement on the part OF
the new enemy, he turned and made spring
at her, tearing her upper lip in a dreadful
manner. The next sping he made at the lady
he knocked one of her front teeth out, when
she retreated into the house sadder, wiser.
and considerably dissbled.-LoWisrtiie CoRr-
