flames. Butt and Lamb were found at seven

Washing Away III. Earth.

No particle of and which goes down
into the sea ever comes back. Yet the par
ticles leave the surface of the earth every
second and are carried, suspended in the
waters of more than twenty thousand riv-
ers, ont into the oceans. There are more
than a hundred streams, classed on the
maps as rivers, in Louisiana alone. Each
one of these has several hundred creeks,
brooks and spring branches tributary to it.
Each brook orspring branch, with its count
less rivulets, clasps the hillsides and drags
down the surfaces thereof-down into the
brooks-down into the creeks-down into
the rivers-down into the ocean. And
there the atoms rest patiently each atom
waiting for its sisters and its cousins and
its aunts still lingering in the fields and on
the hills, yet still creeping toward the gull
lies and hence to the sea. This process
has been going on since the time when "the
world was without form and void !" where
by the primeval rocks were disintegrated
and spread abroad in fertile fields; where
by the fertile fields are slowly being wash
ed back into the oceans whereby the bot
tom of the oceans is being prepared to be
elevated again to the light and to form
other fields whereon cotton and wheat
or something or other will grow. This is
the very apotheosis of "demnition grind
He who originated that phrase spoke NOR,
scientifically than he knew. Life, animate
and inanimate, is simply a grinding dow
of the higher parts n the distribution
thereof in the hollows. The final outcom,
of earth, after millions of years, must b,
something in the nature of a large billiard
ball whirling through the sky, with moth
ing in the world on it except n smootl
lead surface.

The popular idea of the fate of prisoners
sentenced to hard labor in the mines of
Siberia is n somewhat exaggerated one. 1t
is generally believed that q man condemn
ed to work in the Siberian mines is virtu-
ally condemned to death; that when he
descends into the mine he says goodbye
to the light of heaven forever, being kept
under ground till he dies, and that living
amid unhealthy fumes, as he does, death Is
not long coming. The correspondent of
the London Times, having heard these
statements before he went to Siberia, APP
pears to have taken some trouble to ascer-
tain whether they are true or not, and, af-
ter many inquiries, common fairness he
writes, "compels me to say that every one
denied that there was any foundation for
them. Even" he continues, "the few Poles
who spoke SO bitterly of the government
did not bring this to their charge; nor did
l meet any of the convicts who said as
much" On the contrary, the silver mines
were, so far as he could learn, worked on
the twelve and sometime on the eight-hour
system while in the gold mines, which he
himself visited, the men worked in sum-
mer from 4 in the morning till I ut night,
with intervals for rest and meals. In the
coai-mines, also, the men work only for
twelve hours n day, and an officer informed
the writer that the amount of work allot-
ted TO each man per day ought to be got
through by an energetic workman in about
two hours. On the other hand, it appears
that logging is not ~infrequently inflicted
IN n ~barbarous manner in Siberia. At three
stations, but apparently at three only-at
Kara, Nicolaivsk and Sanghalion-an in
strument called the stroll chatka," or plat,
is used. From twenty to fifty stripes are
usually administered, though the number
may be 100; and Che writer adds that
when the heavy Numbers are inflicted, the
punishment must be little short of an exc
sutton

Pay Your Debts.

If you would have the world friendly
with you, then avoid creditors. The debt
oris chain is cold and heavy, and its links
weary. Credit is a hungry wolf and hunts
down its victims like a hind is hunted in
the forest there is no escape from its eagle
eye, no matter how skillfully you may run
the gauntlet from your Office to your home,
or home to office. You may in order to steer
clear of one of its votaries turn dow some
~unfrequented street, dash round some corner
or into an alley, but you are Just as sure
to bump against another more formidable
than the one got rid OF. Debt is a cup of
,orrow within itself. Payday will come,
and will always come too soon; YOU can
not glide it over and hide it either from
friends or foes. Like oil in water it rises
in view always, and there are always sheer
crs ready to mock it; tits an unsheathed
sword hanging by a thread. Pay as you
go. Dc without is a cross that few know
how to bear; learn 10 bear it and be a man
among men. Nobody's slave. Ease does
not exist among unpaid notes, nor happi-
ness il the apparel owned by your sheer
ing tradesman. There is but one debtor
that is unavoidable, and that is the family
| physician. Your purse may be light, but
ever have these words upon your lips
"God bless the old man if l could clear
my account with him Heaven knows ]
would" Angels will echo them into his
heart and upon his face you will read the
index of his soul, and it tells you that of
all your creditors he will be the last to
trouble You.

Alexandria, July 2S.-Lord Charles
Beresford states that without the assis.
lance of the American marines they
would have been unable to discharge
numerous duties of suppressing fires
and preventing looting, burying the
dead, and clearing the streets.
Alexandria, July 2S.-f2.45 p. H.
Heavy firing was heard in the direction
of Abourkir fort. Arab Pasha sent a
train to the junction, and an armed
engine and tender were sent out to
meet it. Two shots were exchanged.
An u%ncon6rmed report was received Mt
London that Arab paslla has proposed
terms of peace, the conditions being
to voluntary exile and retention of the
rank and pay Of colonel for himself
and nine OF his colleagues; and that the
khedive had submitted tie proposals to
General Archibald Alison. 1t is believed
this step was taken at the instigation
OF the sultan. The report caused "A rise
in Egyptian stocks.
The following is II brief verdict OF
Admiral Nicholson on the lombard
ment:
"We don't mind admitting sir, that
we could not duplicate hat lot"
a pilot engine preceding the one sent
with officers to meet Raouf Pasha,
came TO grief near Mahahla, Arab
Pasha having cut the line during the
night.
A strong expedition will start to.
night to seize and occupy a position on
the railway within two miles of Arsbi's
camp.
Port Said, July 2s,-M. De .Lesseps,
In the belief that England aims at seiz.
ing the Suez canal, continues to oppose
every plan for assuring its safety. In
an interview with the late governor, hs
said the khedive was simply a prisoner
In the hands Of the English, and that
England's sole aim vas to obtain the
supreme control of the canal.
Port Said is fun of men OF war.
There is no interruption of traffic on
the canal, but the public feeling is one
of Indignation at the conduct of De
Lesseps in opposing measures for the
safety of Port Said and the canal. He
is believed to be in direct communion
ton with Arab Pasha.
The Europeans here, Including the
French subjects not under DE Lesseps,
thumb, contemplate sending a commu-
nication to the foreign office ut Paris
complaining Of his intrigues.
