HAwKEYE DOTS.

IT's too provoking. After all the thousands it has cost the government and the great amount of costs and time and one thing and another, this star route prosecution hasn't yet settled the question whether we should say "star rout " or ssstar root" It begins to look as though we never would know.

Penn's Speech to the Indians.

"The Great Spirit rules in the heavens and the earth. He knows that we have come here with bearty desire to live with you in peace. We use no hostile weapons against our enemies. Good faith and good will toward men are our defenses. We believe you will deal kindly and justly by us, as we will deal kindly and justly by you. We will not be to you as brothers, for brothers sometimes contend with brothers. Nor shall our friendship be as the chain that rust may weaken, that the tree may fall upon and sunder. We will be as one heart, one head, one body; that if one suffers, the other suffers; that if any thing changes the one it changes the other. We will go along the broad pathway of good will to each other" The chief of the Delawares replied "I pledge you kindness and goodwill. It is the kings mind that your words shall be accepted and kept by him forever; that the Indian and the Christian shall live and love together as long as the sun gives light in the heavens. We must be ope-half Indian and the other half English, being a. one flesh and blood under one head"
 Penn put his hand upon the chiefs shoulder and said: "When one forgets the other must remind him so." H' then turned to the children and said "And now, my dear children, hear my counsel. Stay it in your hearts. Re member your Creator in the days of you youth. Ton are now beginning to live charge you before the Lord, honol and obey, love and cherish your deal mothers. Betake yourselves to some honest, industrious course in life. Le your industry and parsimony go no further than for suffic1ency in life l charge you help the poor and needy Love not money nor the world. Us them only and they will serve you. Pit. the distressed.

Tortured Their Prisoners.

The London Morning Advertiser correspondent at Cairo, says: When the British forces occupied the citadel of Cairo they found that tortures had been inflicted upon prisoners that were horrible in their barbarity, reminding one of the old Inquisition period. The prisoners had been beaten and racked if they could not pay money :; they had been hanged up by the thumbs, by the ankles, by straps around their waists their bodies had been barred, the skin over the hips and legs tight ened by contrivance so ingenious that only fend inspired by Satan could have devised it, and then the lash ap- piled, one man making an upward blow alternately with the downward cut oi another, until at last the flesh in pieces was lifted from the quivering victim.
 Then, too, the bastinado, most horri- ble of all punishments, was used. saw prisoners who could not walk, anc whose feet were simply Jumps of dis colored flesh. Others I saw and talked to who had been fayed. One, an ole man, seemed to be dying. Mad witt the agony of pain he had endured, he dashed away from his tormentors, and running swiftly around the mos que, ht jumped thirty feet down the rampant When he reached the bottom he lay crushed and helpless mass below, ant then they brought him back, and they logged him again on the limbs tha were broken, and on the bones that pro truded through the flesh.
 The name of the brute who perpetrat ed these atrocities is Sulieman Zoral Zim Pasha, colonel h the artillery by birth from Kantarah, by education soldier, by nature a fiend. Col. Kuo, having discovered all the facts, he callet MT. Zorab Pasha into his presence, ant ordered him to be manacled. They pu heavy irons on him, assure you. The, screwed them tight, too, and Tomm.

The False Prophet.

Eight thousand human beings killed and wounded appears an extraordinary calamity, yet such is the report which Dr. Schweinfurth, the able representa- tive of the British and Foreign Anti Slavery Society telegraphs from the Soudan.
 The victims were Egyptian troops, and the slaughterers were the False Prophet and his adherents, who for the last three years appear to have been masters of Nubia, and the greater part of the Soudan.
 This False Prophet is no less person than Hadji zecky, the notorious slave dealer who caused Col. Gordon so much trouble during his administration of Upper Egypt, aud the Khedive has been so embarrassed with mere serious complications in the vicinity of the capital that neither troops nor money could be.spared for serious opposition to the advance of this blood-thirsty pre- tender. This is now the firat time that interruptions Moslems, calling them selves prophets, have raised the stand ard of revolt, and, followed by the low CT classes, the majority of whom are urged by sheer fanaticism, while the re- mainder are prompted by hopes of plum der, have caused much bloodshed in the east. Even within the last ten years Hairedin-el -Topal kept the Sultan al bay in Arabia, while lunatic Bedouiu, styling himself Mubarek-el-Kebir, O, the "great blessing" pillaged and burned the villages of the Lebanon. both claiming to be true prophets, About year ago Hadji Zecky surround ed 5000 Egyptian soldiers, half of whom he murdered, selling the remainder te the Abyssinians, after which he took possession of the roads, thus stopping the Khedive's Government from com municating with the Soudan by land and he now threatens to advance upoI Cairo.
 As great portion of the Egyptian revenue is derived from the Soudan, ane as all it's ivory, which is the monopol. of the government, is pledged to thu
 bondholders, steps will no doubt b taken to stop the soi-disant Prophet advance, and the British troops now re
 maining in Egypt may be called upol to defend the country against the inva , sion of 8 man who considers not onl. , Christians, but Mohammedans of ever. , denomination, his enemies, and Britis and Egyptians, who have hitherto bee , fighting among themselves, may hay to unite against a common enemy.

PINE TIMBER LANDs.-Owing to the terrible forest fires of 1881, which de- stroyed 5000 square miles of the best pineries of Michigan, dealers have found it necessary to look in a new direction in order to obtain enough pine lumber to meet the demand. Agents have been looking up the pine lands in Louisiana and Mississippi, and it is said that one of them has negotiated for 1,OOO,O acres in the two States named. Prices of timber lands have gone up accord- ingly, $10 an acre having been offered and refused, where $2 an acre would have been considered high price a few years since.

MOTHER EGYPT
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.

Bark-browed she broods with weary lids Beside her Sphynx and Pyramids, With low and never-ifted head. If she be dead, respect the dead; If she be weeping, let her weep; IT she be sleeping, let her sleep; For 10. this woman named the stars
 She sucked at her tawny dugs Your Moses while you reeked in wars
 And prowled your woods, nude painte,
 thugs. Then back, brave England, back in peace To Christian isles of fat increasel . Go backl Else bid your high priests take -Four great bronze Chrlsts and cannon make; Take down their cross from proud St. PauIs And coin it into cannon balls Yea tent not far from Nazareth.
 Your camp spreads where Ills child-fee s strayed, n cnrisr had seen this work Of deathI
 If Christ had seen these ships invade think the patient Christ had said, ssGo back, brave men! Take up your dead Draw down your great ships to the seas; Repass the gates of Hercules. Go back to wife with babe at breast, And leave lorn Egypt to her rest" Is Christ then dead as Egypt is2
 Ah, Mother Egypt, torn in twain! There's something grimly wrong in this
 Some like some gray, sad woman slain. What would you have your mother do? Hath she not done enough for you? Go back And when you learn to read Come read this obelisk. Her deed Like yonder awful forehead is Disdainful silence like to this. What lessons have you raised in stone
 To passing nations that shall stand? Like years to hers will leave you lone
 And level as yon yellow sand. St George, your lions, whence are they? From awful, silent Africa. This Egypt is the lions lair Beware, young Albion, beware know the very Nile shall rise To drive you from this sacrifice. And if the seven plaques should come,
 The red seas swallow sword and steed, To Christian lands stand mute and dumb
 To see thy more than Moslem deed.

candidacy for the office of Assessor,

known as 'sChinese engrayings,' and
have two Cinnamon in the lower left

But as there are only three Cinnamon
in this county who are entitled to a
vote, the Chinese vote will not be OF
much account to Mr.. Bixby.
