ANCIENT MUsIc.-The Egyptian flute
was only cows horn with three or four
holes in it, and their harp or Tyre had only
three strings. The Grecian Tyre had only
seven strings and was very small, being
held in one hand. The Jewish trumpets,
that made the walls of Jericho fall, were
only rams horns their flute was the same
as the Egyptian; they had no other instru-
mental music but by percussion, of which
the greatest boast was the psaltery, small
triangular harp or Tyre, with wire strings,
and struck with an iron needle or stick ;
their sackbut was something like bagpipe;
the timbrcl was tambourine, and the
dulcimer was horizontal harp with wire
strings and struck with stick like the
psaltery They had no written music, and
had scarcely vowel in their language, and
yet, according to Josephus, they had two
hundred thousand musicians playing at the
dedication of Solomon's temple. Our Chi
cago Theodore Thomas would have died in
the greatest agonies at such concert

Woman and Time.

Woman has q long contest With
grim Old Time before she will confess
herself beaten. At the first intimation
that he is pencilling her face she
throws dash more Of youthfulness
into her attire, and, if possible, a little
more sweetness into her smile. For a
while she laughs at the audacity of
the wretch, as love is said to laugh at
lOcksmiths. She sits in the theatre
and notices the fair young faces here
and there, and knows that Time is
closing in on her, but she thinks to
cheat him by assuming ignorance of
his power and his intentions. She in
dulges in no spoken "reminiscences,
ceases to date her stories, and begins
to associate more with women great
deal younger than herself, When the
crows feet become noticeable she re-
sorts to a mask veil which comes just
to the top of her nose, and takes at
least five years from her record. A
little later and she makes her hat de-
the thrusts of the enemy by jauntier
poise than ever. She fights the foe
openly, cheats him. with her cherished
artifices, contests every step he takes,
and scorns him always. She never
admits his mastery, as men do. The
theology of the toilet tells her to resist
Age and he will flee. This is doc
trine she faithfully lives up to. When
she feels the weight of years upon her,
chn affoofc NOT fo lypow that Tioo tho
all-devourer, is going to be the victor
after all. Just as bravely does she
fight him as though there was hope
th1t she would win the day. When
she can no longer defy him utterly,
she yields grimly to his dictation,
though she never acknowledges his
mastery.

FOREIGN NEWS.

In consequence of England's refusal to
protect Upper Egypt against Ell Mahdi, the
khedive's Cabinet yesterday rendered their
designations, which were accepted. France
regrets the decision of England in the mat
ter, but will not interpoFe any objection. II
is rumored at Constantinople that the Mahdi
has declared his willingness to recognize
Hahn Pasha as Khedive of Egypt. A
Vienna dispatch reports that three Cont
mental powers have resolved to uphold the
Spanish throne and prevent the formation
Of a republic. 'Chinese" Gordon has
been offered the position of associate with
Henry NJ. Stanley in opening Central Africa
TO colonization and commerce. Nothing
is known in Paris of the rumored cession of
the northern province of Madagascar to
France. American cuttings are to be used
In replanting the French vineyards. Eigh-
teen thousand cotton weavers are on strike
in Lancashire, and much distress prevails
among them.
England has replied TO Egypt that Khar-
toum must be abandoned, and the troops
concentrated at the second cataract of the
Nile, but she will make no objection if Tur-
key undertakes to conquer El Mahdi's rebel
lion at her own expense. 1t is reported in
Paris that either England or the United
States will be asked to mediate between
France and China. The new king of An
nam has recognized the treaty with France.

The PresiC ents reception az the Whits

liant as usual, although the attendance was
somewhat smaller than last year. Mrs. Car
Isle, the wife of the speaker of the House,

dent in receiving.
At meeting of the House committee Old
military affairs this morning Gen. Slocum
was authorized to report to the House favor
ably the Fitz-John Porter bill, which passed

vide for the election of President and Vice
President for an unexpired term in case of
the removal, death, resignation or inability,
both of the President AID Vice-President,
and to declare the officer that shall act as

from morning till night, and I've no
peace or comfort with him. I didn't
object when he invented a fife-eseape;
but did demonstrate when he wanted
me to crawl out of the window one
night to see how it worked. Then he
originated lock for the door that
wouldn't open from midnight until
morning, SO as to keep burglars out.
The first time he tried it he caught his
coat-tail in it, and had to walk around
him with q pan of hot Goals all night

some way of unfastening it. That's
Williams trouble; he viii invent; A
little while ago he got up a cabinet
bedstead that would open and shut

up it went. Bless your heart, he
stayed in it from Saturday afternoon
until Sunday night, when the thing
flew open and disclosed William with
the plans and specification of patent
wash-bowl that would tip over when
it got just so full. The result of that
invention was that lost all my rings
and a breaStpin down the waste-pirc.
Then he got up crutch for man
that could be used as an opera glass.
Whenever the man leaned it, up it
went, and when he put it to his eye
to find William, 1t flew out into q
cruth, and almost broke the top of his
head off; but William goes right on in
venting just the same. The other day
