END OF THE Wharf.-The British command
er telegraphs from Benhar, September 18th !:
General Lowe has occupied Cairo. Arab
Pasha and Toulba Pasha have surrendered un-
conditionaly. Ten thousand troops at Cairo
have laid down their arms.
The war is virtually at an end. 1t is for
tunate that Cairo escaped the fate OF AleXan-
dria. 1t is probable that the English pressed
Arabi's struggling and plunderng hordes so
RAPIDLY that they were not able to burn and
rob and ravish Cairo as they did Alexandria.
Now that the 'war" is substantially at an
end. it is time to recognize the courage and
spirit with which England, single-handed, un-
dertook in the interest of humanity and clvili-
zation, the work of restoring order in Egypt
when all the other powers, recognizing the
need and righteousness of the work, still
shrank from performing it. Under the Eng
lish and French protectorate, replacing an
oriental despotism of the typical sort, the
condition of the toling masses of the Egyptian
people, still bad enough, was yet greatly I'M
proved. Order reigned and prosperity was
beginning to revive. To permit Arab to set
up a personal government, would have heen
to invite return of all the horrors OF the
reign of Mehemet Ali and Islhail. The loses
to the people have unquestionably been enor-
cotton and sugar-are probably altogether lost,
and that of wheat either lost or stolen by
Arabi and eaten up by his troops Fortunate
ly the war ended in time to permit the cereal
crop for next season to be sown, which IN
that country must be done within the next
two months With the institution OF stable
government, the rich soil of the Nile Valley,
which has furnished foo'' '' man longer than
any other part of the earUl,'s crust, will soon
make good this years losses.
FEMININE PECULIARITIES.- are lit
tie peculiarties Individual to the fair sex
which are both curious and amusing. Why
does a woman so often drop her fan or her
handkerchief? That has puzzled many mas
culine brain. There are two reasons for the
accident, if it be so called for want of better
word. First, the fair creature's S tongue runs so
fast that the waggng of the organ loosens the
| tension of the muscles of the hand second,
the fan or handkerchief is purposely dropped
| that ''hOrrid man. may show his gallantry
by picking it up, and ten chances to one the
| lady purpOsely beats him in that operation at
| ter he has bent his rheumatic legs in an effort
to be gallant She is satisfied with the dis
play of serviity. Why do women, if looked
! at by man proceed at once to chew their lips
or convusively press them together in the
| intervals OF cheWlngI Ihat prOceeuS lIonl
modesty which urges them to do something to
divert their minds from masculine impudence
or admiration, or it may suggest that the
owner has very kissable mouth, the lips OF
which, bitten, will become beautifully red, OF
it may be the result OF an unpleasant feeling
of a new set, or the oscillatory movement OF
the old set, of false teeth. You need not pay
any money for the, show, and yet you take
your choice of reasons. WHY'S it that women
with fine eyes roll them toward the ceilings OF
the sky? That is easily answered They
wish to look angelic, and they usually do.
THE MAGIC WORD.-DO your work at once
Don't stop to dawdle. And if ever you find
yourself where you have so many.things pres
sing upon you that you hardly know how tc
begin, let Inc tell you secret take hold OF
the first one that comes to hand, and you will
find the rest all fall into file, and follow after
like a company of well-drilled soldiers; and
though work may be hard to meet when il
charges in squad, it is easily vanquishec
if you can bring it into line. You have Otter
seen the anecdote of the man who was asked
how he managed to accomplish so much in
life. ''My father taught me-" was the reply
"when had anything to do, to 60 and do it. ,
There is the secret-the magic word, nor
