England In Egypt.

England swallows Egypt, and
the Commercial Gazette says, Amen,
as follows:
ENGLAND does not suffer it's in
terest in Egypt to anguish. The
new form of government for Egypt,
providing that the Khedive shall
have council of twelve response
BILE ministers" legislative coun-
Gil, and an elective assembly, has
been approved by Lord Dufferin
and transmitted to the English for
eign Office, where It will be finally
acted upon. The influence of Eng
land is thus supreme, as it should
be, if the logic of events signifies
anything. The reign of the Turks
and Circassians is gone. The reign
of the Khedive is not gone with it,
but glimmers with very faint
light"

Beer Drinking.

A great Life Insurance Compa-
ny is said to have withdrawn its
business from Indiana, because of
the great mortality in some coun-
ties where the people are large
beer-drinkers. In Ohio, where
much beer is consumed, insurance
statistics report 16 deaths year
per thousand; in Kentucky and
Tennessee, where drinkers mostly
use whisky, II per thousand; and
in Canada, where they drink al
most always whisky, only 6. These
of course, are the deaths of the
healthy people, who are received
into the companies after a strict
medical examination. The differ
ence between the death rates of
these various peoples, is perhaps
not altogether due to the fact that
beer is more fatal than whisky.
Another reason may exist, which
is, that in beer-drinking commun-
tiles and families, much larger
proportion of the people drink
than where only whisky and strong
drinks are used. Many women and
children and many boys and men
never acquire a taste for strong
liquors, where there is no lighter
drink with which to learn the hab-
it, In a family, only one or two
may learn to use and like whisky
but where the ten times more
pestiferous beer barrel or jug en-
