A STORY OF UPPER EGYPT.
The Despotisme Of the Khedive-An
Arabian G,rps Marriage.
Correspondent at Alexandria. I

1t is not always safe for govern
or of province to reside among
the people whom he has plundered
and oppressed, and whose families
he has entered with the lust of that
most loathsome of all creatures, the
Turkish libertine. It also not TN
frequently happens that the govern
ors are moth ing but common assass-
ms, who are called upon to execute
the summary and secret vengence of
some minister or favorite at court of
whom they stand in awe. A case
that occurred while correspondent
was in the upper country is directly
to the point. A Turkish official OF
high rank-~he was a bey-had long
been favorite of the khedive at
Cairo, for they had been educated
together in France. This official
was, therefore, a great deal around
the palace, and it occurred to the
Ikhedive's mother that she would like
to marry off a favorite child of the
harem to gallant officer in receipt
of large pay. The bey was sum
moned by the khedive and told that
his mother had found him wife-a
wonderous creature. OF course in
the east such an intimation to sub
Ordinate is simply a command; yet
while the hey submitted he secretly
chafed at what he considered gross
imposition upon friend, a Turkish
:,ristocrat, and an officer accustomed
to European liberties and customs
The marriage took place and grano
fete, costing many thousand dollars
Of course, the bey had never looked
upon her face Until after the t1uptia
knot was tied, and when he die
neither the countenance nor the
owner thereof was to his liking. Two
wears went by and the khedive's
mother perceived that the youns
wife was slowly pining away. A
Hast persistent inquiry made the CIR

the oefemony the bey had declined
to treat her as his wife. Th'

Shaw went to London to float the
stock. But the glittering allurments
of this prospectus did not have the
desired effect upon the minds and
purses Of the British public. Never.
theless, the general superintendent
was not discouraged. He at once
OWNED the reason, and wrote back
to the directors, urging them to i'm
mediately increace the capital stock
to $2,O00,O00, as the English people
would pay no attention to anything
backed by paltry $25O,OOO. By
this time, however, the board of di-
rectors, never any too sanguine of
the success of this project, had tacit.
ly agreed to drop the matter, and
no attention was paid to the commu
nication.
Being left in London without a
dollar, Shaw got into the good grac.
es of a wealthy widow, and by repre-
senting himself as California capi-
talist, induced her to marry him.
The wife's money brought them to
California, but when she arrived
here, and found that she had been
duped the poor woman died. Then
the stricken widower. who had been
a widower twice before, retired to a
little canon eight miles northwest
of town, where he took mp $50 acres
of woodland and made practical
though solitary test of some of his pro
gressive sanitary ideas. He grubbed
a meager living from the soil, living
on beans, cabbage, popcorn, and slept

lone night he fell out of the tree and
hurt his back, and after that gave up
his habit of sleeping aloft.
| While living in this aboriginal
manner he opened correspondence

ing school in New jersey, and they
were married by telegraph. This
new wife paid her way out, and to
the surprise of all, decided to live
with Shaw. This was two years ago.

canon, a sunny, picturesque spot,
well wooded and watered, and with
a handful of sickly-looking fruit trees

A committee of the New York Legislature
is investigating the subject of ''corners."
Two prominent railroad men, President
Jewett, of the Erie, and Chauncey NJ De-
pew, counsel for the New York Central, have
testified before it, and they have given some
interesting and instructive testimony. Pres
ident Jewett thinks that the prices of some
commodities and necessaries of life have
been increased at least fifty per cent. by the
spectators. He points out that this specu-
lation deranges the ordinary course of bust
ness. 1t is disorganizing and demoralizing.
1t seriously Injuries transportation interests,
because they must maintain the
means to move the produce when
it finally comes forward. Thus the
railroads sometimes called upon to
carry beyond their capacity, and at other
times they have not business for their capac-
ity to carry. In his judgment this huge
gambling has substantially annihiated legiti-
mate dealers.
There is no question about the great evil
of such speculation, but who can tell how to
remedy it? Mr.. Depew was asked if he
thought the power existed in New York to
make laws to protect the public against the
spectators. He answered: 81 think it very
doubtful. The trade is too vast; you could
not hamper it in any way. In all these mat
ters it is exceedingly difficult to make laws
that will not interfere with the legitimate
traffic. All these corners are contrived by
the methods that used in legitimate tran
sactions." President Jewett thought these
combinations might be brought under the
charge of conspiracy, but he did not see how
the Legislature of New York could prevent
the formation of pools in Chicago.
1t is not probable that any laws which
might be invented against speculation would
prove very effective. Men will gamble, and
if they see chance to buy. anything cheap,
and make high price for it they will do it.
No possessor of large capital can be prevent
ed from buying as much of anything as he
wants or holding it as long as he pleases. 1t
has been suggested that speculative sales of
futures might be prohibited by law, and
that contracts for the sale at future time of
what the seller does not have when the con-
tract is made might be declared void. But,
DIS LuS NSH L CUttS 6HOHoj LIS
selling of futures has its legitimate
side. lit enables the manufacturer of cot.
ton, for instance, to make his contracts for
goods on definite calculation of the cost of
material to be delivered as he wants it, and il
enables the producer to take advantage of
favorable condition of the market and at the
same time deliver his produce as he gets it
ready. Besides, it is perfectly legitim ass for
a man to use his experience, his special in
formation, and his judgment for his own
benefit in calculating the future condition of
the market in which he deals.''
There is one crumb of comfort in the stu
alton, and that is that natural laws cannot be
cornered, and that sooner or later they de-
feat the cornerers. This, however, is very
cold comfort to those who are now paying
fifty per cent. more for grain, etc., than they
ought to pay.

A revised edition of divorce and Divorce
Legislation, Especially in the United States"
by Theodore D. Woolsey, is published by
Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, and is
very timely. DR.. Woolsey reviews first divorce
among the Hebrews. Greeks and Romans,
the doctrine of divorce in the New Tesla
ment, the law under the Roman Empire and
in the Christian church, with a chapter on
divorce and divorce law in Europe since the
Reformation He then takes up divorce and
the law of divorce in the United States, with
consideration of the duty of the church in
the matter and some hints on divorce legisla-
ton. While then DIR. Woolsey goes into the
subject moralist and religious teacher.
he also treats it practically in its relations TO
law and society. The general principle, de
rived from a study Of the Bible, is. says he.
that legal divorce does not in the view OF
God and according to the correct rule of
morals authorize either husband or wife
thus separated to marry again. with the sin
gle exception that when the divorce occurs
on sccouRt Of a sexual crime the innocent
party may without guilt contract second
marriage" This view of the second mar
riage DIR. Woolsey holds to through the en-
tire discussion That easy and frequent di-
vorce is both the cause and the consequence
of increased immortality he also holds and
supports by statistics. For sale in this city

A passenger on the Lake Shore railroad
having asked for stop-over ticket, the con-
ductor gave him instead a wrongly dated
trip ticket by mistake. The next day the
conductor of another train refused the trip
ticket, and expelled the passenger from the
car, when he declined to pay the fare. Suit
was instituted and the passenger recovered
damages for exposure and sickness. The
case was appealed, and the Supreme Court
of Wisconsin decides that the regulation re-
quiring stop over tickets is a reasonable one,
and the second conductor may eject the
traveller refusing to pay fare in the absence
of the required stop,over ticket. The court,
however, says that the company may be Ii
able to the passenger for the fault of the first
conductor, who mistakenly gave the wrong
ticket. The Judgment is set aside and new
trial ordered.

Bishop Elder has published a commentary
on the pastoral put forth by the recent pro-
vincial council of Cincinnati. He says there
has been haste in accusing the prelates of
hostility to the doctrines of the Declaration
of Independence. What did they say Sim
ply that, as a matter of fact, some men are
moro muscular, more intellectual and richer
than others; that as a rule the more fortu-
nate man in these respects has advantages
over the less fortunate man; that in politics
the few control the many, if not theoretically
at any rate practically; and finally, that the
powers that be are ordained of God and de-
rive their ultimate authority from His ordi-
nance. cit would be easy" says Bishop
Elder, ito show that this doctrine, so far
from being anti-democratic is the very truth
that furnishes the most solid foundation for
democratic government, the most effectual
protection against despotism and arbitrary
power, and, therefore, the best security for
the liberty of the people and the peaceful en-
joyment of their rights"
