Egypt.

The Egyptian imbroglio is likely to be
serious one. That country was recently
put under the control of the representa-
tives of the English. and French bond
holders. These people cared nothing
for Egypt or its prosperity, and as they
represented wholly irresponsible and
exceedingly rapacious class of money
lenders, they proceeded to make all the
money they could out of the unhappy in
habitants of the land of the Nile. The
taxes were diverted to the payment of
the interest on the bonds, and what was
left was divided among the relatives and
dependents of the leading capitalists who
represent the bonded interest of Great
Britain and France. Every appointment
which involved a salary was given to
young French and English understrap-
pers, and their compensation increased
in every respect Unfortunately. Young
fellows who would be glad to make a
bare living as clerks in their own coun-
try were saddled upon the unfortunate
Egyptians and given princely incomes.
There is no government so mean, so ra-
pacious, as that of the money-lenders,
and this class had full swing in the land
OF the Pharaohs. Of course the wrath
OF the people of Egypt, especially of the
leading classes, was unbounded, and was
manifested in every way, butas the bond
holders had the governments of Great
Britain and France behind them, no heed
was paid to the righteous Indignation Of
the cruelty plundered Egyptians. 1t is
difficult to foresee how this will all end.
The fate of Egypt is bound up with the
puzzling Eastern question. Asia Minor,
Syria, and the land of the Pharaohs are
destined TO be the scene of many mighty
conflicts between Russia on one side and
England and France on the other.
Mighty commercial interests are at
stake. 1t is vital to-the Western powers
that the Suez Canal, Egypt, and the
route to India should be in their hands,
but the measureless greed of the bank
ers will help the enemies of England
and France by making the people of
Egypt their active mies.-Demorests

BeckfOrd and the Match Making Duchess.

There is a capital story told in con-
nection with Beckford and the Duchess
of Gordon. That man of his enorm-
Gus wealth should remain a widower
was to the underworld most heinous
offence, and every lure was cast out by
gorgon mammas and siren daughters to
capture such splendid victim; but our
hermit was proof against all tempta-
tons. Most famous of all the match
making mothers of the period was her
Grace of Gordon, a resolute woman
who cared nothing for rebuffs where a
prize for one of her daughters might be
gained, and under whose manipulation
man was weak creature indeed. Beck
ford was in the habit of paying short
visit to London once or twice during the
year, but finding that he always con-
trived to avoid her and her darlings, the
Duchess resolved to pay an unlimited
visit to Fonthill and attack the lion in
his den. Made aware of her coming,
Beckford gave instructions to his conf
dental servant TO see that the lady was
sumptuously entertained as long rs she
chose to remain, and then retired to his
private apartments.
When her Grace arrived, she was in
formed that Mr.. Beckford was engaged
studying some new books that he had
Just received, and that it was more than
any servant dared do to disturb him.
The next day, and the next, similar
excuses were rendered to her request to
see the host every attention was
paid her, everything she could de-
sire was at her command-eX-
cept the master. During eight days
this maternal fortune-hunter fretted and
fumed and resorted to every device her
imagination could suggest to get at her
proposed victim, but all inv vain; and at
the end of that time she was COM
PEELED to beat an ignominous retreat.

ON KINGSTON BRIDGE.
On All Souls night the dead walk on Kings
Bridge-Od Le9end

On All Souls night the dead walk on KINGSTON
Bridge.-Old Legend.
On Kingston Bridge the starlight shone
through hurrying msts with shrouded glow;
The boding night-wind made its moan,
inc mighty river erept below;
Twas All Souls Night and to and fro
The quick and dead together walked,
The quick and dead together talked,
On Kingston Bridge.
Two met who had not met for years
Their hate was once too deep for fears:
One drew his rapier as he came
Up leapt his anger like flame:
With clash of mail he faced his foe,
And babe him stand and meet him SO.
He felt graveyard wind go by
Cold, cold as was his enemy;
A stony horror held him fast
The Dead looked with CHASTITY stare,
And sighed: II know thee not" and passed
Like to the mist and left him there
On Kingston Bridge.
Twas All Souls Night, and to and fro
The quick and dead together walked,
The quick and dead together talked,
On Kingston Bridge.
Two met who had not met for years;
With grief that was too deep for tears
They parted last
He clasped her hand. and in her eyes
He sought Loves rapturouS surprise.
so SweetT he cried, "hast thou come back
To say thou lowest thy lover still?'
Into the starlight pale and cold
She gaZed afar-her hand was chilli
'Dost thou remember how we kept
Our ardent vigils?-how we kissed?
Take thou these kisses as of old!'
An icy wind about him swept;
81 know thee not, she sighed, and passed
Into the dim and shrouding mist
On Kingston Bridge.
Twas All Souls Night, and to and fro
The quick and dead together walked,
The quick and dead together talked,
... On Kingston Bridge.

The Grating Season.

Every farmer and gardener should
know how to do his own grating. 1t is
the easiest thing in the world to do after
paying little attention to one who is at
work. The few implements necessary
grating knife, which can be purchased
at any seed store; avery fine saw, a long
handled screw-driver to keep open the
the split stock, tin cup IN which to pre-
pare and keep warm the wax, and thin
wooden paddle, or rather spatula, with
which to apply the wax.
The cherry can be grated now, as the
sap of this tree begins to run early and
there is small chance of a cherry scion
growing after this has taken place. The
apple and pear can be set at any time up
to the middle or even end of May, if the
scions have been carefully preserved and
have not yet started to sprout. There
is DO danger of graft not growingif the
stock be split so that the bark shall not
be bruised, and shaping the scion wedge
fashion both ways, preserving also the
bark uninjured, and placing the rim OF
the mood of both stock and scion exactly
together, or at least crossing each other,
so that the sap can intermingle. We
prefer two eyes or buds to a graft and
would rather have only one than more
than two. One year wood should always
be used when it can be obtained, as it is
more certain to take and grow more Wig
orously, and the graft should be cut from
bearing branches.
We wish to remind those preparing
prafting-wax, that we have found four
parts of rosin, one part of beeswaX and
one part of beef tallow to be the best
proportions. Melt them together in a
skillet, (Which is best,) or tin cup, and
mix well. 1t should remain in the vessel
and used as needed. Twenty or thirty
scions can be waxed with one heating
up. When much grating is to be done.
little fire for heating the wax should be
made on the spot, between the bricks
or stones.
We have seen various preparations for
making grafting-wax, and we believe we
have tried nearly all, but prefer our own
where there is only little grating to
do, though we should adopt that recon-
mended by our friend Larkin, of Della
ware County, where there is much to do.
Applying it warm or hot does no injury.
The object to attain in the mixture is that
the wax will not crack in cool, dry
weather or run in warm weather. If,
however, upon trial, different proper
tions be required, the foregoing can be
altered though after using them in sew
eral ways we have come back TO these.

From the Memphis Avalanche of Sun

Court decided on Saturday that the State
Is liable for what Is known AS the new
issues of the Bank of Tennessee. Our
readers need 10 explanation of this mat
ter, as it has been frequently and fully
discussed IN these columns. This decis-
ion will add about one million and a half
to our State debt. There is 10 way to
avoid or postpone the payment, as under
the section of the law which provided
for the Issuance of these notes, they were
made receivable for taxes and If no 9th

will be compelled to receive them. 1t is
a great Outrage upon tax payers Of the

was not made, and now there is nothing

The Harrisburg Nrg,men has a
reckless way Of treating both premi-
ses and deduction, which the follow
ing extract from its latest issue will
amply illustrate.
The truth is both parties at the Begin
ming OF the session agree upon certain
rules, before either one knows how they
will affect special cases, and they be-
come lalr for the remember Of the session.
M party il seems TO ne with particle
Of regaryl for common deCency cDuld
dgree 70 a sstof rules TO goreFE the House
for TIE trhple session, aud then change
them whcu they pinched party meas
ure little. The hated "BourbOns"
never did anything half so mean. A
Virginian who could support such a
measure when its purpose was to seat an
inscriptions man in the seat Of anOth-
er on forged testimony Is, to say the
least, blinded by prejudice.
There That is enough. We take
breath, for a moment, to say that leg
islative bodies do not agree upon rules
to bind Tor the session, but simply to
last during the aqX and pleasure of
the body. If the Virginia. is willing
to use any other means than that of
denunciation, by which to convince
and convert Others to its own notions,
we will state by way o. proof that the
S7th rule Of the Va. House of Dele
gates, framed and adopted by funders,
provides how the rules shall be at any
time fhaaged. To wit, "by a two
thirds vote of the members present. :"
In Congress a mere majority can
change the rules.
In The case OF Mackey as Dibble, it
was not question as to whether
Mackey was an "unscrupulous" man,
but as to who was elected, we beg
leave to say further that the proof
overthrows the allegation that the tes-
timony was forged.
One more point. The making or
changing Of rules requires the sover-
ign power Of the House. The crea-
tor is superior to its creature. The
question as to whether lot Of intru-
ders are in possession of the seats of
members from whom they are with
holding them is part Of the Sovereign
act Of organization. 1t canno, be
fillibustered out of existence.
