man of black eyed curIy-banged
girl in a taXidermist's store in Will

on tie walk. The girl dropped a

The young man was directed to
an adjoining room. A red-moutned

$50 Fond OF the Pipes.'

The affection of the Scotch folks for
the music of their beloved bagplpes has
been tie theme of many anecdotes. but
few incidents are more interesting or
pathetic than the following. which was
frequently related by Mulready himself
during his lifetime, as a Renaissance
of the days when he and W like were
intimate friends and fel,ow-students at
the schools of the loyal Academy.
L avid Mllkie was then living in Lon
don with his mother and sister. his
father. Scotch minister, being lately
dead. The Wilkes lived in certain
long street in the neighborhood of
Portland Pla e, called then Norton
street, but PROBABLY identical with the
thoroughfare known at present as
Great Iitchneld street. Alter time
Mrs. Wilkie fell seriously i'll, and Null
ready. who took q friendly interest in
the old lady, called frequently to in
ouire after her. One day as he was
going to paw his usual visit he turned
into Norton street. at the end furthest
from the house where the Wilkes, lived
when, to his great surprise, he heard
distinctly the music of the agpipes.
He looked up the whole OF the long,
straight street. but no player could he
see, and yet the weird, shrill notes
sounded loudly in his ears. Strange
stories of ghostly, unseen pipers came
INTO his head. and as he walked on in
the direction of Wilkes house he was
surprised to find that the music became
distinctly louder as he advanced up the
street At last he rang the bell. VIII
kie himself opened the door, and then
the locality of the bagpipes became
only too evident In the little front
parlor sat Highlander playing away
vigorously at some familiar Scotch
melody. MuIready looked to Wilkie
,, for an explanation, conversation being
out of the question while the music was
going on. " like drew him inside the

Poor Egypt.

The most recent complication in
Egyptian affairs, which has led 10
protest on the part of Germany and
other Powers, is purely financial IN
character Some time ago the differ
cnt classes of bonds representing the
various indebtedness of Egypt were
consolidated at a fixed rate o, interest,
and sinking fund was established 10
pay part of the principal. The
Egyptian Government has thus been
striking to pay double tax-tirst,
part Of the principal called the sinking
fund; and, second, the interest on
watered bonds, representing twice as
much as the money pa d for them.
These bonds We're sold at from fifty 10
sixty cents, and D.. drawing ten to
twelve per cent. interest on the actual
cash re ,eived by the Egyptians. In
this manner a debt o. about S4a0,00o,-
OOJ was imposed upon Egypt hy specu-
lators, in consideration of which only
about Sz25. 900, 90 were ever nominal
ly received
Meanwhile the Government has failed
and the money must be raised. Liter
ally the GoveInnlent is bankrupt. The
deficits of the last three Years have
amounted to S40,00O,0OC and the esti-
mates of the present year show deficit
OF nearly $500 900 more. Expenses
are increasing, the interest Is increasing,
and the deb is increasing, while the
revenues are decreasing. In order that
the hhedive may in some way meet the
charges necessary to his Government
and fulfill financial engagements, with
the advice of England the payment OF
the sinking fund has been suspended,
and against this, in the interests OF the
french bondholders, the German Gov
eminent has most unrighteously and
| uniustly protested. There is but one
possible way out of Egypt's troubles.
and that is. either to reduce the prin-
cipal Oh cut down the interest; and to
neither of these propositions will the
rapacious and greedy bondholders con-
sent. Like any other bankrupt. all
Egypt can do is to pay what she can.
I here is nothing left but to reduce the
| interest one-half and sus. end the sink
ing fund, and even then the horribly
taxed fellaheen, who never gave their
consent to a penny of the debt and
have never'received a penny s worth OF
benefit from i, would be driven to the
| wall to raise The money. In this con-
troversv the English Government has
at least tried to hep them out, but was
defeated-tirst in the conference, and
now. finds herself INSTRUCTED by the
protests of Germany, France, Russia
and Italy in the interests of the Shy
locks who are bound to have the last
