A Strange Story.

Npn 4VIh AAnths
On June 9th last, Joseph Redmond,
a lad about twelve years old, who gave
his residence as 100 Blesker street,
was arrested by Patrolman Clue, Of
the Fifteenth precinct, on complaint
Of petit larceny made by Mr.. William
Goulding, of No. 626 Broadway. The
lad was arraigned at the Jefferson
Market Police Court, before Justice
Ford, and was committed for trial at
the Court of Special Sessions. He
made an effort to communicate with
his friends, and the address which he
gave while at court subsequently,
proved to be false. When the case
was called for trial at the court OF
Special Sessions no one appeared in
favor Of the boy, and he was convicted
and committed to tue House of Ref
uge. Meanwhile the parents of the
lad. alarmed at his disappearance,
were searching for him all over the
city, but without success. Nearly a
month after their sons disappearance
the body of a boy of about the same
age was found floating in the North
river, and was removed to the Morgue
for Identification. There it was seen
by the parents of the missing lad. and
although the remains were much
decomposed, they identified them as
those of their boy, took them to their
home and buried them. Last week
the g%rieving parents we're astonished
and overjoyed at receiving a letter
from their son, whom they mourned
as dead. 1t was dated from the House
of Refuge, and from it they learned
Tor the first time of the arrest and
incarceration of their boy. A visit
was paid to him, and the meeting be-
tween the son and his parents is said
to have been most affecting. Yester-
day the mother of the lad called on
Justice Ford and asked him 10 dis
chare her son from the House Of
Refuge. The magistrate would have
been glad to do so, but was powerlesl
to act, as the lad had been committed
by the magistrates sitting at the
special sessions, and their signature
are necessary to release him. A
formal application will be made for
his discharge.

Russian Views of the Egyptian
Question.

In the name Of civilization and
order the English bombarded Alex
andria, and they did it successfully
The light shore forts are destroyed and
the city itself was made the proy Of
the flames. In order to plant there a
higher civilization, they resorted to a
senseless and merciless destruction.
The English government applies this
theory, which is worse than Nihilism,
while the governments of the rest of
Europe partly approve English action
and partly in silence let these ugly
practices go on. 1t is said Europe is
about to aid England; in other words,
to erect in Egypt a monument to her
weakness, but we don't believe it.
Some ten years ago Lord Beacons-
field made a good deal of noise, boast
ing that England could stand not only
one, hut several campaigns at once, yet
even Lord Beacons6eld did not dare to
invade, Egypt. He was satisfied with
buying for his government the Suez
canal shares, and sending a commission
to investigate the financial condition Of
Egypt. At that time Europe looked
closely after English operations in the
East, and would not allow any inva.
sion of Egypt. But now the English
government does not need any support
from other European nations in order
to counterfeit Russian influence on the
Balkan peninsular, for Russian policy
is now passive. England tramples down
the rights of its late allies by attempt.
ing to appropriate the most important
international commercial way in the
East. that is, the Suez canal. While
England was going on with her war.
like preparations there was heard nc
protest from any part Of Europe, and
now Europe must deal with an accom-.

Of Egypt.

to do with the Egyptian question

interference by the European States
