The Plague In Egypt.

= 1t might have been expected that the
English occupation of Egypt would
have got enough sanitary regulation
into the land of the Nile to at least pre-
vent the most fearful plague known
there for years. But now, between Cairo
and Port Said in one direction and AL
axandria in the other, the condition is
most distressing. Even the English
soldiers arc suffering, several having
died at Damietta, but the English seem
to be making every effort to conceal the
facts. Two noted physicians, DIR. Laird,
a Scotchman, and a German, DR.. Ernst,
have lost their lives there, and the exo-
dus of foreign families amounts almost
to a panic. The few foreign medical
men willing to remain to stem the tide
are met with opposition from the ma
tive doctors, who are driving a good
business, as they are the only ones that
collect fees. Lord Fitzmaurice told the
House of Commons Tuesday that the
Government had no intention of pro-
posing an international conference.
The Sanitary Council at Cairo has put
the population of Damietta into tents
and partly burned and partly disinfect-
ed the place. Several small villages
have also been burned. The natives are
ShO cOAOlCAl " JuClK
dead. and the hospital camp at Damiet-
ta is strongly guarded. In some of the
isolated villages along the Med
iterranean and in the low line districts
between Lake Munzaleh and Lake BorI
las there are scarcely natives enough to
bury the dead. The natives are very
bitter against the English, who, though
warned of the approaching plague,
failed to make the necessary precau-
tions. The condition at Mansoura is thus
described:
THE dying are left alone in the
houses, friends and relatives fleeing, and
their bodies have remained unburied for
days. Dead bodies in some cases have
rotted in the sunshine in the streets of
villages deserted by all except the dying
and the convalescent, while many of the
latter were helpless and starving. Any
thing like grave had been upthought
of for fortnight, and in the low delta
ground where water is found at a depth
of two or three feet, the trenches have
been dug so shallow and filled so full
that the first wind blew away the cover
ing of sand or the first rain washed
away the earth. Even where the rot
ting bodies were not uncovered and ex-
posed, they were so near the surface as
TO rot under q hot sun, and allow the
gases to filter to the surface and poison
the air.''-Sprinqffeld (MGSs.) Repu6-

Mr.. Spurgeon surprised his congre-
cation a few SUNDAYS ago. He began
his sermon as usual, and got. through
his firstly" pretty well. Then feeling
very warm himself, and seeing his con-
gregation growing listless, he inter-
rupted himself with the remark: "That
is the end of the firstly and it's so
warm to-day that / think the secondly
and thirdly will very well keep for a
cooler Sunday" So the congregation
went its way, and Mr.. Spurgeon went

"A study of the religion of the Tin
kit Indians, of Arizona, has been made
by Rev. S. Hall Young, who says that il
so much resembles that OF Christians that
their conversion is quite easy. They
believe in God who is trinity in his
attributes. He is, first, universal
punisher of evil and rewarder of good;
second, holy spirit of beneficence, to
whom they pray for blessings; and,
third, mediator in the various forms
of lesser divinities. But many of the
Celebrations of this religion are savage
and grotesque.

What Happens in Newport Churches.

One of our churches has a somewhat
eccentric parishioner, who often affords
the congregation much amusement He
has habit of expressing his thoughts
aloud when very much in earnest, new
er mind where he may be. His entire
unconsciousness of having thought
aloud is irresistably funny. Last Sun
day a late-comer at church-a Young
lady with voluminous skirts-sought to
pass him to get to a seat. As she did
so, she carried the gentleman's hat,
which was on the floor, some distance.
1t happened during pause in the serv-
ice, when there came, slowly and dis
tinctly, and with an earnestness worthy
of the preacher. this unconscious ejacu-
lation: Now-where-in
Of the he-Lord-is-- s--that-girl-taking
-my-hatP" Funny things happen
often in Newport churches. A good
sister not long ago put her hand to her
back hair, or where her back hair ought
to have been, found it forgotten, and
without q moments hesitation got up
and fled out of the church, still carry
ing her hand over the poor little pug
peeping beneath her bonnet. and which
was never meant to meet the public
gaze. A dude took his cane to church
and amused himself during service by
springing it beneath the seat in front Of
him until it formed bow. 1t sudden
ly got away from him and went whiz-
zing up into the air, striking against the
ceiling and producing a CONSERVATION
throughout the church, which extended
to the pulpit. The dude blushed and
would have gone deeper into his collar
but that his ears prevented. A brother
in the parish meeting complained of the
uncomfortable temperature of the
church during the winter, and declared
that only persons with ironicdl consti-
tutions could safely come to service.--
