One Of the sad sights Of life is that Of
broken-down men Who have passed be-
yond middle age. They are seen every
where, in city. town and village; men
who were once in easy circumstan
but have lost situations and health, and
are floating like driftwood on tho ocean
OF life. There is something peculiarly
distressing in the contemplation of
these persons. Their poverty is not
like the poverty Of youth. for then
there was health, hope and ambition to
help it out; sslf-denial conld then be
patiently borne because there was ex.
peetation that il would not be lasting.
II the meal was scanty at times, and the
wardrobe limited. both wOro supple
monted by antIcipations of tho future.
Youth and health and hope can afford
to wait. Now all is changed; there is
nothing to look forward to; no bright
anticipations Of future comfort. Youth
ID gone; the summit Of the emerald hill
has been passed, and the path leads
down on the other side. Now whom
there should be saIe and comfort and
rest. there is the hard. hopeless strug-
gle for daily bread. 1t is indeed a
piuful picture, and rendered oil the
moro melancholy by the murmurines
OF the sufferers themselves. It seems
to them that fate has dealt hardly by
them, and that some have more, while
they have less. than they deserve. Be
this as 1t may, there is no better teacher
OF the lesson OF thrift and economy
than these cases supply. They speak in
accents not to be emissunderstood of the
necessity of obeying the Injunction.
In youth prepare for old age"

A Current Report.

George X. Fitch, ono of the proprie-
tors Of the Evening Bulletin. has gone
East. 1t is stated, says the Stock RI
port, that he goes to negotiate with the
Democratic National Committee for the
purchase aud sale Of the Bulletin to the
Gsuocratic party. 1t may be rsmem-
bered that some time ago negotiations
proceeded to an advanced stage upon
the same proposition. They fell through
upon the question Of price. The Bull
letin owners asked more than the COM
mit.es thought tho property was worth.
Now, however, they are said to be much
more moderate in their ideas, and feel
pretty confident Of meeting those Of the
committee.

The conniet Means the RuIn or.
Turklsh EEyp1.


The New York Tribune's London
dispatch says: 1t il surmised that the
distrust OF England shown by certain
OF tho powers il fictitious and that
Turkey is being esged on from inter
ested motives. Immediately she be.
came occupied, in Egypt especially, in
opposition to England, Russia would
find easier access into the Turkish en-
pire and Austria into tSalonica. The
conflict between England aud Turkey
means the absolute ruin OF the Turkish
empire. Russia Affects TO believe that
England wants Egypt, which she re-
fuses to grant unless for the price OF
the BosPhorus. Italy's present dubious
action would be favorablJ changed to.
ward England il Rome were offered n
share Of Egyptian control. The pro
fessed surprise in Europsan capitals at
the English occupation of Suez in an
ticipstion OF the Italian proposal to the
conference is hardly reasonable. The
British action is simply q corollery to
the arrival Of ths Indian troops. This
unos.entstious energy of England since
she commenced action is increasing her
prestige. especially in Germany. The
punotual ease Of the dispatch OF troops
to Egypt is in striking contrast to the
strain OF the French expedition to
Tunis.

SMALLET, the New York Tribune's
London correspondent, gives the true
inwardness OF the Egyptian imbroglio.
He writes: AIabi Pasha IL nothing
moro nor less than an unscrupulous
military adventurer. with an army made
up OF eI-conyicts and other criminals.
His object is merely to establish mill
tary despotiSm in Egypt for the benefit
OF himself and his followers. To put
down such an adventure and TO estab-
lish the authority of the law again, are
to work directly in favor Of a better
future of Egypt. This is giving tho
true national party in that country q
chance.

A Practical Suggestion.

A Pacific Coast Mining Exposition,
the Daily Report thinks, should bo held
at San Francisco. The mineral rssour-
ces OF the Pacific Coast have never been
understood by the outside world and to-
day are merely considered from . bull
lion standpoint. 1t is q popular belief
among Eastern people that the mineral
resources OF this coast consist for the
most part Of gold. silver, copper and
lead, whereas the coast region abounds
in what are known as the useful min
erals. The mining machinery built in
San Francisco is OF course too we'll
known TO need special mention. Ithas
an International reputation. The ma
ehinis.s and tho mining men ought to
come together and arrange for an expo
sitiOn of minerals and machinery in
that city at an early day.

TnE STORY that Arabi Bey is willing

into a monastery, presumably for the
purpose Of expiating 10y prayer and re-
pontaues the mischief he has done, will
do to tell the marines, but il will not be
received with much respect by ordina-
rily sensible reopls. In the language
OF the street, it is altogether "too thin. +"
Arab Bey is not that kind Of man,
and II any overtures of peace az those
ported have actually been made, they
may moro reasonably be regarded as an
artiico TO gain timo than as having any
serious significance. 1t is noteworthy
that the receipt of this and similar pa
sitie intelligence had the effect OF send
ing Egyptian stock up four points, and
this circumstance may indicate the orr
gin Of these extraordinary runners.

The European conrer.ue..

Tho Powers are holding another con.
ference at Constantinople, but, accord
ing to latest ndyices. tho approaches TO
a definite understanding between them
appear no nearer free from distractions
than at the outset.
At Thursdays sitting the question of
protecting the Suez Canal was under
discussion. Onou, the Russian repre-
sentative, expressed his views that the
laws binding the conference required
that Turkey should hrst sndeayor to
restore order in Egypt. Should Turkey
not succeed in this endeaTor, then the
Powers should undertake tho task.
Baron Won Hirsehfeldt, the German
representative. and Baron Won Colice,
the Austro-Huugariau Ambassador,
concurrcd in this opinion.
Lord Duffcrin, the Brit Gsh Ambassa-
dor, said he desired Turkey to take
action on condition that the Porte de-
clared Arabi Pasha q rebel.
Syd, the Turkish Prime Minister,
maintainsd it to be impossible for the
Porte to declare Arabi Pasha a rebel
until the Ottoman flag was raised in
Egypt. when the conduct OF Arabi Pashn
would be determined and measures be
taken accordingly.
Count Corti. the italian Ambassador,
demanded that the reply OF the Otto
man representatives that they accepted
the conditions OF the identical noto be
put in writing, to which the Ottoman
representatives. replied that they mus,
first obtain tho sanction OF the Sultan.
