The chief proposal contained in the last

recognize the duty OF notifying the frussian
government of clerical appointments on
condition that Prussia declares the exercise
of all priestly functions exempt from pros

Slavery and Religion In Egypt.
From the Pail Mall Gazette

+ A recent traveller in Egypt sends us the
following illustration Of the endless difficult
lies the khedive has to overcome in the
slow progress of interior reform. Indig-
nant that slavery should still flourish in his
realm, Twfk Pasha wished to decree it's to-
tai abolition in advance of stipulations of
our treaty with Egypt, which gives them un-
til 1884 and 1889 respectively, but before
taking such an important step he sent and
consulted the Sheik-ul Islam. Though
fully sharing the views Of the temporal ruler
that slavery was an abomination, the
eclesiatic objected to its Wholesale abolition
on the ground that the emancipation of indi-
vidual slaves was one Of the most meritori-
Gus of acts, and that the prophet had con-
ceded this right to his followers as means
of atoning for their SINS. In other words,
that slavery must be maintained, as slaves
are required az human conscience-msney
TO whitewash Mussulman backsliders, and
the khedive has not the power to deprive
the faithful Of divine privilege. This
happened % recently as July Last; Tewfx
Pasha had to submit, and to renounoe for
the present his project Of immediate eman-

The Hamlet Business.

Rossi puts some business into Hamlet.
His passion rises to greatest intensity in
the scene with his mother, where his @busi-
ness" is thus described: Here Sfgno1
Rossi introduced some new and powerful
stage effects. Instead of pointing to the
two pictures, Hamlet takes his fathers
picture from his bosom, and after compar-
ing 1t with that of the king. worn by his
mother, he seizes the latter, and, in a per-
feet paroxysm of passion, dashes it to the
ground and grinds it beneath his heel.
There has always seemed to be lack of
adequate fury in Hamlet's berating his
mother for marrying q lese pretty man than
her first. This feat Of Rossi with the un-
cles counterfeit presentation seems to be
an approach to the right strain. There is
generally the same lack Of ferocity in the
tirsde upon Ophelia. He might introduce
the same stamping business with the pres
ents abe returns. Or il he should drag her
around the stage BY the hair, it would
bring down the house. The furious fits,
alternated By paroxysms Of tenderness,
would carry house by Storm Soft head
ed maidens would be touched to tears BY
such imam Of feeling. 49,. 8; 49, 81

Popular Perfumes.

"GOod perfumes are made directly
from flowers, and not out of cheese, coal
tar, and So on, as people have been led to
suppose" said an uptown chemist
Take the jessamine, for instance
That's always favorite, and is used in
the makeup of many perfumes. In
France the cultivation of this plant for
the perfumery trade is an important
industry, though the plant is somewhat
difficult to raise. Very hot seasons are
most favorable for 1.-THE hotter the
weather the richer the perfume.
"Thyme is an old-fashioned sort of a
plant, but thymus vulgaris, common in
France, Greece and many other coun-
tries, gives us q valuable Perfumery OIL
In Francs they take from it two
entirely different oils, red and
white, the gathering being done in sum-
mer months. In the same locality the
rosemary is cultivated, and being a pop
ular perfumery, is in great demand at a
high price. Patchouli comes from the
oil of the rogosteneon patchouli, plant
collected by the natives of the Malay
Islands. It is extremely powerful, a lit
tie of it going great way when the
winds fair. It is always in fashion and
is used with altar of rose.
I'm altar of rose there is probably
more deception than in any other per-
fume. Certain kinds come from Turkey,

ent. If the bottom of the bottle con-
tains sediment, you may know that
some handler has adulterated it With
paraffine wax, or spermaceti. The rose
from which this valuable oil is taken is
the rosa Damascena, and rose water is
made from decoction of the leaves of
the same plant. The petals of rosa Gal
lica. grown in Asia Minor and various
parts of England and Europe. are greatly
valued, and the leaves also bring 9
high price. The same deception is found
in these, those imported from France
being often dyed with some aniline. A
drop of ammonia, however, detects the
fraud. .:. 3D.

powerful perfume, but the violet is most

Somewhere Love, her lord and king,
Over her is scattering
Fragrance from his purple wing.
BY the brink of summer streams
/ have dreamed delicious dreams;
What I will, my sweet one seems.
In the sheen of autumn skies
I have pietured sunny eyes,
Till the thought too quickly dies.
When the Winter fire burns low
Lovely faces come and go
Asthe dying ashes Glow:
IT'S her voice I hear so oft
In the music low and soft,
That the western breezes wait.
Tell her, love, that yesrs fly fast;
Bid her come to ME at last,
Ere her golden days are past.
Shall We ever, ever meet?
Eh4ll find in thee, my sweet,
Visions true aid life complete7
Whisper low to Love apart,
Whisper, darling, where thou art,
Perfect wife and noble heart.

GOSSLPFROM WASHINGTON.

1t is reported that the president con-
tinues memorable in the defense of the exc
cutive order reducing the internal revenue
districts and will not change it to suit any
one. TIE orders of retention are being pre-
pared, but the new arrangement will in no
instance be put in force before July Is, and
perhaps not SO soon as that.
The report that Commander Mullan has
been sentenced to dismissal for the 1oss of
the Ashuelot creates no surprise here, for
informatio was received by the navy de.

that Mullan was drunk when the Ashuelot
went on the rocks, and that the accident
was due to his condition.
It is stated that the war department is puz.
zled to know what to do in the Nickerson
matter. This is not the case. Whatever
the war department is doing is better kept
quiet in order that its plans may be carried
out. Maj. Nickerson is as subject to orders
from the war department as any officer on
the active list.
