WASHINGTON, August 2i.-Mr. Merrick,
of counsel for the government In the star.
route cases, began his argument to-day.
Alter referring to the change of tone in the
utterances of the counsel for defense, open.
ing Of the case, change Of defiant bluster to
plea for mercy on the basis Of q probable
doubt, Merrick said IL was not his intention
to discuss In detail the facts in the case,
since 1t had already been done by his COL
leagues, and their argument stood like a
rock on the shore of the sea; he would,
however, present number Of legal pro.
posals, to which Ire invited the attention of
the court and jury. The propositions with.
out the argument, by which Mr.. Merrick
supported them, were, In sub.
stance, as follows: First, where con.
spiracy is charged to do criminal act
and various means are alleged, of any
means presented, 1t is sufficient TO establish
the general charge. Second, in order to con.
stitute conspiracy II Is not necessary for
two or more persons TO meet and enter
into an explicit and formal agreement to
do an unlawful act; II In any manner
and through any contrivance, they ex.
plicitly or tacitly come to mutual under
standing TO accomplish such unlawful pur.
pose, Il Is conspiracy, and such conspiracy
could extend across a whole continent.
Third, conspiracy, can seldom be proved by
direct testimony, but Hit be shown that a
number Of persons combine TO gain profits
from contract by means which the law
forbids, this is enough to prove con.
spiracy. II the jury believe that Brady

Foreign Letter.

CAIRO, EGYPT, Aug. 80, 1882.
From conversations with various former
residents in Egypt and with men deeply
vcrscd in the politics or commerce of that
country. have gathered the conviction
that the Egyptians of the next ten years
will prove more difficult TO govern than
has bcep, the case with their ancestors
from time immemorial. Fanatacism lay
dormant, and whatever faults Ismail Pr
sha may have committed he certainly
exerted himself with success IN rubbing
off the edge of moslem fanatacism BY
accustoming his subjects to Europeans and
to western notions and manners. But the
capabilities of intolerance and prejudice
in an Arabs heart are rs great as his
ignorance, aud the seed of religious hat, ed
having once been sown, the fellah of the
future must not be expectedsto be quite as
pliable as the fellah of the past. His blind
awe of the ruler of tho land, his belief in
the power of the Franks and in the sureri.
orty of the Ergishman have disappeared
lie now thinks himself capable of ruling
his own country, and, unfortunately, he is
not.
An acquaintance who knows Egypt
thoroughly lately told me! 81 believe in
the good faith of Mr.. Gladstone when he
says that he wishes TO preserve the auton-
omy of Egypt and desires nothing for
England, but circumstances may be too
strong for him, and may compel Great
Britain further to 90 more than she intends
at present. TO re create the status qa0
ante would be to produce situation full
of dangers and difficulties"
Great doubts are entertained us to Tewlik
Pasha's proving honest in his co-opera-
ton with England, lie is Il thorough
mussulman at heart and little anecdotes
savoring of perfidy have been related to
me. But the worst is that he has lost all
personal influence in his country pusilla
nimity and vacillatiOn, and is not likely tC
regain it. His two chief minister's Sheriff
and Riaz, are not likely to agree together
for long time. Representatives of the
Egyptian nation will not be ready tools
Of the intrgucrs, whose race will not die

The October Century has two portraits
of Abraham l. ncon, which have never
before been published, The larger of
these, the frontispiece Of the magazine,
engraved by Cole, is a fine copy Of an
ambrotype which was made two days
after Lincoln was nominated in 1860. The
smaller one is copy of TIE last photo
graph for which Lincoln sat. and was
taken on the balcony of the White House
six weeks before the presidents death.
These remarkable portraits enable US to
see the great change which was wrought
in the features of Lincoln between 1860
and 1865. With the portraits are pub
lished letters giving the history of the
originals, and paper entitled "llow
Lincoln was Nominated" by Frank b.
Carpenter, who throws new ligh on the
inside history of that memorable contest.
Other articles of practical or timely value
are Z. V. Smalley's third paper on the
New Northwest; an admirable statement
of "The growth of the United States" by
Francis A. Walker, the superintendent OF
the last census; and an account by Judge
Farnam, late Consul. General at Cairo of
his negotiations for the Obelisk," with
much that bears on the troubles in Egypt
of which the present rebellion is the
grand sequel, The last mentioned paper
is illustrated, as also are Robert II. Linn

HEROES OF THE PLAINs-In American
history there are no more interesting
figures than the heroes of the border.
Bold, dashing. adventurous and patriotic;
loyal 10 friends, to country and to the in
terests of society, their work was sin
gularly effective in the advancement of
western civilization. With seeming reck-
lessness their efforts were in the interest of
law and order, and the people owe them
a debt of gratitude they do not forget.
Their page in history is as fascinating as
it is honorable. and there is a peculiar
pleasure in reading the narrative of their
wonderful exploits. Among those, whose
careers were singularly adventurous, are
Kit Carson, Wild Bill, Buffalo Bill, Capt.
Payne, Texas Jack, California Joe, Capt.
Jack and others, whose achievements have
made them justly and widely famous.
They have warm place in the hearts of
the people, and a prominent one in their
admiration. 1t is appropriate that their
achievements should be recorded, and we

TIE New CoMEr.-The only comet
which the newly discovered comet is said

it has approached very near the sun, prob

the orbit can be calculated by astronomers

One of the excitements OF the Now
York republican convention was the dis
covery that Stephen B. French. one of the
inner circles of the stalwarts, had attended
the meeting of the state committee, where
things were fixed up as the proxy OF Col.
lector Rober son, presenting as his ere.
dental forged dispatch purporling to be
from tho collector asking him to do so.
As soon as Mr.. Robertson learned that
Mr.. French was acting as his proxy he
telegraphed 10 Albany that he had given
him no authority; but this dispatch was
left where nobody found it for several
hours. and not until after the important
committee meetings had been held. When
Mr.. French was called upon to produce
his dispatch from Robertson it was found
to be a olumsily executed forgery written
on telegraph sending blank instead of a
receiving blank. The despatch had never
como over the wires from anybody Mr..
French says he found it at the hotel when
he got up in the morning. TIE matter
has created much excitement among poll
tcians, and Mr.. French's explanations
arc not regarded as satisfactory.

SUICIDAL SACRIFICE.-Tho Montreal

story; The people cf Woodstock are very
much exercised over remark able suicide
that occurred there Sunday evening, the
victim of which was Miss Sarah Elstone,

WAS religiously disposed and attended

family attended the c. M. church in the
evening, leaving her at home and alone.
When the sermon was about half over, n
lad named Hopkins rushed into the church
went to the pew occupied by Mr.. Elstonc,
and the whole family retired hurriedly.
Nothing more was thought of the occur
renee until the next morning. Then tine
news spread like widf're. Mr.. Hopkins,
who lived next door, and only few rods
from the scene of the burning, saw fire
and smoke near the shocks of corn which
his neighbor had just gathered. He
thought Mr.. Estone's corn had taken fire
and at once ran over, when he found the
girl standing over fire which she had
kindled, holding both her arms up, her

and extinguiShed the fire in her hair,
taking her over to the bank Of small
stream and laying her on the grass. He
then sent his son on horseback to acquaint
the family of the occurrence and also to
call a physician. When they arrived at
the house they found tho girl burnt from
her feet 10 her neck so that she looked the
color of n smoked ham. She fingered for
few honrs, talking incoherently, and at
last said. calmly, Il am going to Jesus, y

That the whole affair was deliberate ~ q
premeditatcd cannot be doubted, as on

to sacrifice herself.
