General Wolseley of the British army,
has arrived in Egypt to take command
of the military expedition up the Nile
for the relief of Khartoum, and it has
been alleged that his Red river expe-
ditior in 1870, when he subdued the
Winnipeg rebellion, gave him the ex
perience necessary to success in Egypt.
General Wolseley's Red river expedition
consisted of four companies of British
regular soldiers, who were transported
to Thunder Bay, at the head of Lake
Superior, in excellent steamboats,.
Their march from there to Winnipeg
was along a fertile country, with good
trails for part of the distance, and nav
igable lakes and easy portages for the
rest of the way. The march lasted but
twenty or twenty five days; supplies
we're easily carried; they met no resist
ance; the entire hostile force against
which the expedition was directed con-
sisted of but few hundred French and
Indian half breeds under the command
OF Louis Riel, mere boy in years, and
but little better than crank in other
respects; they all fed at the approach Of
the little British force. General Wolse-
" hrs since distinguished himself upon
two occasions, where the difficulties to
be encountered were not very serious.
His present task is surrounded with
great obstacles, but there seems to be
but little doubt Of his success among
hiscountrymen.

A letter has Just been brought to
light, written il 1852 by Robert E. Lee
to his son, g. w. GUSTS Lee. Wegive
the concluding portion of it:
In regard to duty, let me, in conclu-
sion of this hasty letter, inform you
that nearly hundred years ago there
was remarkable gloom and darkness
still known as the dark day-A day
when the light of the sun was slowly
extingulshed as if by an eclipse. The
Legislature of Connecticut was in ses-
sion, and as the members saw the unex-
pected and unaccountable darkness COM
ing on they shared in the general awe
and terror. 1t was supposed by many
that the last day-the day of Judgment
had come. Some one, in the con-
sternation Of the hour, moved an ad-
iournment. Then there arose an cd
Puriten legislator, Davenport, of SIAM
ford, who said if the day had come he
desired to be ut his place doing his duty
and therefore moved that candles be
brought in so that the House could
proceed with its duty. There was quiet
ness in that mans mind-the quietness
of heavenly wisdom--an infexible will
ingness to obey present duty. Duty,
then, is the sublimest word in our lam
guage. You cannot do more you should
never wish to do less. Never let me
and your mother wear one gray hair for
any lack Of duty on your part,

A Near View of MEXICO.

at is diamond in the rough. with q

try of immense resources, agricultural
and mineral, and when Yankee enter
prise is able to gain the mastery over
the ignorance and prejudices of the

is the condition of our consuls. They
are mostly Frenchmen and Germans,
many of whom cannot speak the Eng.
lish language, and they are not partic-
ularly friendly to our tradesmen. You
see, the Germans and French have con-
trolled that trade for $50 years, and
have intermarried with the natives.
They buy enough American goods to
say they have them in stock, but rec
ommend something else all the time.
They do all they can all the time against
our trade. I tested them time and
again. I cannot say, however, but that
American merchants are more or less
to blame. I have known . firm to send
half inch lumber and bill it inch, and

General Crook was severely criticised
some months ago for demanding that
his agreement with the rebellious
Apache Indians be complied with, he
assuring the Government authorities
that if that were done the Indians would
become peaceable and industrious. The
Government, after time, reluctantly
consented to do as he requested, and the
result has been most gratifying. Crook
has treated the Apaches humanely. not
withstand their inhtimanity, and as re-
suit, he says. they are taking decided
interest in agriculture and stock raising.
and appear anxious to have their chill
dren educated. He also says in recent
letter that there is not in the state OF
Pennsy lvania village of the same pop
ulation more peaceable and law abiding
than the 5000 Apaches on the San Car
los Reservation. It is greatly hoped
that Crooks policy ~ soon be extend
ed to the other tribes of American In
dians, and the loss of many lives and
much money thereby saved.

The cholera scare in France has saved
Americans millions of dollars, and en-
abled some of them to see something of
their own country. The hotels of Paris
are said to be comparatively deserted.
Taking the four weeks in July, the ar
rivals were 80, 424, and the departures
81 500, as against 1882 arrivals in
Jnly last year, and 105,014 departures.
Paris has thus had about IA 900 fewer
visitors in single month than came to
her during the same period last year.
And yet there has been no real danger
IN visiting Paris. The fear of detention
from quarantine has, however, made
travellers prefer resting at home and at

Reports of failures are still numerous,

but the general outlook is by no means
discouraging. In nearly every promi-

Earthquakes at the West.

Last Friday afternoon a not very severe
though quite distinct shock of earthquake
was felt throughout the western half OF
Ohio, the eastern half Of Indiana and the
southwestern portion of Michigan.
As nearly as can be judged, the disturbance
was first noted in Michigan, where it was very
slight, and probably took southeasterly
course, being most severely felt in Western
Ohio. No damage was done. however.
At Cleveland, O., the largest buildings rocked
slightly. The motion was felt plainest in the
upper stories. Telegraph and other wires
quivered so as to attract attention. and many
people felt sensation of dizziness peculiar to
such terrestrial connections The vibrations
extended over period of ten to fifteen seconds
At Fostoria O., everything was shaken.
There was great excitement Jars in drug
stores were knocked from the shelves. In
Cumminsville, northwestern ward of Gin
cinnati, tremor was felt 80 distinctly as to
cause quite an alarm, not only in public
schools, where pupils were with difficulty kept
in their seats, but also in private houses.

4 fairy skin in stream was lying
A skiff with a silken sail;
In forest of fire the day was dying
And daintily stirred the gale;
When niaide6 fair and q gallant gay
Sprang into it lightly and sailed away
Away through the purple cleaning.
No moon looked down from the vaulted heaven.
They sailed by the light Of stars,
By the smile serene Of the sisters seven
And the ruddier glow Of Mars.
But the storm king rose in his grandeur grim !;
And the stars swan into the distance DIM.
As they tossed on the troubled water.
The tempest ceased, and the broad, deep river
Flowed on with tinrufied breast;
Again in high heaven the sisters culver,
And the wild winds sink to rest
There is calm below, there is peace above,
And the eyes of the maiden are full of love
As she clings to her happy lover.
They hear the boom of the mighty ocean;
Their blithe bark breasts its swell
And westward glides with gentle motion
But whittier cannot tell.
We know loves stream is not smooth for aye;
But the sweet stars shine as they sail away
Ger the ocean of life together
