Egyptian Matters in the House OF
Lords.

LONDON, July 25.-In the House
of Lords, Earl Granville made q
statement in connection with the mo-
ton for the vote Of credit introduced
by Gladstone in the Commons.
Granville said that the Govern
mcnt was entirely without informa-
ton as to whether the Sultan intends
to send troops to Egypt, and the
Government thought that in the
present state Of Egypt force must be
employed. He stated that 1880
troops would be sent to Egypt. He
confirmed the statement that the
French and English hoped for co op-
Grafton in tho measure for the pro-
lection Of the Sucz Canal. He said
that the French Government has not
yet stated whether it would assist in
the advance into the interior ol
Egypt. The feeling OF Europe, how
ever, was in favor Of Englands &C
ton.
The Marquis of Salisbury said
that it was the duty of all parties
now that the honor of the country
was imperilled, to combine in cup
port Of the Government.
A desultory debate ensued, in th,
course of which Salisbury con
demned the earlier stages Of thu
Governments policy as tending t.
create the impression among Moham
medans that the Christian power
are united in crusade agains
them.

That Revenue Bill Again.

WASHINGTON, July 25. = The
Democrats and Republicans seem to
be sparring with each other, neither
party caring fig for the bill, but
each being anxious to throw upon the
other the responsibility of the failure
to reduce taxation. The Democrats
disclaim all idea of attempting to delay
or defeat the passage Of the Revenue
bill. They say that it is not proper
to try to change it by offering amend
ments discussing the tariff at length.
The Republicans insist that this
programme is but shallow subter-
fuge to cover their intense hostility
to the bill, and they do not propose
to allow the Republicans to get credit
for reducing taxes.
The Democratic Senators held a
conference this morning, and inform
ally decided to support an amend
ment in the nature of substitute for
that clause of the bill that obliges the
25 per cent emergency tax on sugar
The Democratic substitute proposes 9
horizontal scaling of all duties 20 pei
cent.-l0 per cent. to take effect
January, 1888, and 1oper cent Janu
airy l, 1884.
This amendment was aiterward in
troduced in the Senate by Harri!
(Tenn). If this amendment is re
jected, then amendments Of all kinds
will be proposed and debated by thu
Democrats. If it is agreed to, ther
they will be willing to let the bill pas
without other changes. If, however
Hale calls up the Navy Appropria
ton bill tomorrow, as he has signi
fed he would do, the Internal Rev
enue bill will not be further consid
cred this session, and Congress will
adjourn about August /.

What the Circus Did.

We were . quiet and sober set.
Little accustomed to noise and fret.
Decent and modest at work or play.
And oh! so proper in every way.
Before we went to the circus!
Nobody has ever seen US 60
At all too fast, or at all too slow
No matter how gaily we talked OF sang.
We new er had used word OF slang
Before we went to the circus!
We went to church, or we went to school.
BY the very most orthodox kind OF rule;
For we were people of Dutch descent.
And rather phlegmatic in temperament.
Until we went 10 the circus!
Alas and alasl It's 9 woeful sight
The way we are changed 1T the time write!
Father is swaying against the breeze,
Hung by the toes from a hi Oh trapeze,
Trying to copy the circus!
The boys on their heads with feet in air,
Are riding wild horses in each gh chair;
Ord ,wn on their back or the s't ewalk brick
Are balancing tubs for . juggling trick:
Aud the girls have painted hands and face,
And got themselves up for an Indian race,
As we saw them do at the circus!
Mother high up on the table stands,
Swingin the baby with both her hands,
Swinging the baby with many rub.
And urandishing him like an Indian club;
While the baby himself in terrible fright,
Howls like Zulu from morn till night,
Since We went to the circusl
Alas and alas! l can only say,
wish in the night. wish in the day,
wish with my heart. wish with my head
wish with my ears, which are nearly dead;
wish with a sort OF mute despair.
wish with shrek that would rend the air,
We never had gone to the circusl
