lsa mistake. So peaceable has the year
been that the far off sound of England's
guns AS they shake the waters of the
Lcvant and demolsh the proudest relies
OF antiquity, creates some sensation even
on the Bristol Sidewalk. What is it all
about hem asked. The brief story is
this. The Suez Canal is Englands' short
road TO India, and who ever owns Egvpt
can blockade the canal. The Khedive is
a tool of England. Arab Pasha had re-
voltcd and meant to depose the Khedive
and Arab was no man for England to
Use as tool. He being ruler of Egypt
could throttle England as she passed and
repaSsed the road TO India. So England
has attacked Alexandria, wherein Arab
was enscOnced. The Government of the
khedive was sort of agreed one be-
tween England and the European pow
ers. NoMthe hint to Americans is that
if we allow foreign powers to cut canal
across the lsthmus of Darien the time
will come when they will wish to set up
a sort of tool-govcrnment for us.

Glade Spring to take Capt. Jno. S. Wise
on his sweep through Tazewell and Rus
sell, back to our Court at Abingdon next
Monday. He is one of the livest and
truest Readjusters in all Virginia and

that weigh 100, 20 horses, 40 hogs, 20
