In accordance with the mandate of Eng

Ehartoum, and soon E. Mahdi will be un-
sputed master of the Soudan. Whether
will be content with the control of that
itory, OR will seek to push his conquests
into Egypt proper, only the future can tell.
But there are at present signs that the pop
ulation of Upper Egypt is ripe for revolt,
and only waits the approach of FL Mahdi's
ces to break out into open rebellion.
The old bugbear of holy war is also re-
vivsed, and Baker Pasha has failed in his eff
forts to secure the assistance of Abyssinia in
his effort to relieve Sinkat and Tokar. The

Wrong provokes wrong. Disregard
Of the obligations of law ON the part of
citizens, usually denominated of the bet
ter class, encourages and permits law
lessness on the part Of what are known
as the dangerous classes. The avoid
ance Of jury duty by men under various
pre- exits throws the administration Of JUS
tice in vast majority of criminal cases
into the hands of ignorant, irresponsiA
BILE and corrupt persons. The growing
tendency of the courts to regard techni-
cal plea, often to the notorious defeat
Of Justice lessons the respect of the
body of the people for the constituted
authOrit es. The evils here noted have
always existed, but, like others, they
have times in which they appear to pro-
vail in apeculiar manner. The present
seems TO be time in which they have
an alarming growth. Recent events In
Illinois have moved the people of one
locality to call u public meeting to de-
clare their indignation at the miscar-
rage of Justice and the inefiiciency Of
the courts. Pennsylvania has, within
the past year, witnessed notable and
disgIaceful deeds of violence for which
the ccur,s utterly failed to apply any
remedy, Cincinnati is now the
scene of appalling events, whose first
cause was the laxity of the adj
ministration or total failure of justice in
criminal cases. The course of events
in these States, and in others, ought TO
be warning to the officers and courts
throughout the country of the danger
lurking in every community where
CRIME prevails in an unusual degree.
We cam 1t admit for moment that vi
Olence or Incorporate public demon
STATIONS are proper or effective reme-

The Editor and the Burglar.

Once upon time village editor
awoke to find burglar searching in his
chamber for his gold and bonds, and,
drawing his rusty pistol from beneath
his pillow. he took steady aim at the in
truder's head. Looking around and be-
coming painfully aware of his peril. the
burglar pleadingly said:
''Spare me, for l have made a mis-
take in the house. ] have found moth
ing but an old ont-of-date railroad pass.
Let me depart in peace"
''Not So" answere the editor, hold,
ing his aim like a skilled marksman,
''for this is Almighty dull week for To-
cals.'
"But pause moment and reflect, -
returned the burglar. "Your paper is
not issued till Friday. Your. hated RI
val, the Weekly Buasgstarter, will go to
press tomorrow evening, and would
have at least two columns of my death
and the Coroner's inquest. 1t would
be fully two days ahead of you.n
"True enough. "said the editor with
a sigh, as he lowered his pistol and re-
placed it under his pillow" You are
too early in the week for an item for
me, and I therefore spare you. You

had been released from Pentonville

of police having to be called to preserve
order. VII n Hall alighted from the
train vociferous cheers were given, and
were continued until he had driven off

Danger In Barbed wire.

In recent discussions, both at the East
and in the Western States, on the use
of barbed wire for farm barriers, much
was said by some of the speakers on the
danger to domestic animals, and espec-
tally TO young borses, with which the
use Of this wire is attended, and cases
were described where horses were badly
lacera ed and bled to death Yet, not
withs Rnding these formidable draw
backs, so great is the saving in expense,
and so efficient and durable are fences
made of barbed wire, that they can not
be prohibited, and farmers would not
submit to any attempt TO suppress their
tise.s
: The question, therefore, comes up:
Is there any way to remove the OBJ ecA
ton, and to prevent the harm which
barb d wire causesp We answer decid-
eddy in the affirmative, and are sur
prised at the slow progress which a
knowledge of the modes of prevention
has made.' We have used the wire for
years, and never found the least diff.
Guilty or danger. There are several
modes. For smooth, nearly level fields,
pillow deep furrow on each side of the
wire fence, or rather pillow seve al fur
rows, so as to make one broad and deep
one on either side, throwing as much
earth with the pillow as practicable to-
wards the Inc of posts, and finishing
the work by cleaning. out by hand the
ditch s thus made. This work Is per-
formed at comparatively little cost,
and has the three advantages Of
draining tho line, banking against the
posts so that they need not be SGT so
deep, and making visible barrier which
will induce horses to check their speed
and stop before they reach the fence.
They will not pitch heedlessly into a
ditch and against bank. They are
always brought up before they reach
the line. Another advantage is that the
ditch and bank combined are as good
as two bottom boards, and a smaller
number of wires are needed to COM
plete the fence above.
Another mode, where there are plenty
of scattered or cobble stone over the adj
iacent fields, is to make with them low
Hat wall, say about two feet high; set
the posts in the line of this wall, and
attach the harbe1 wire to them. The
wall becomes a visible barrier, and will
repel the approach of the animals, for
they have a special dislike to step ON q
mass of small stones.
A third mode is to place two or three
wires inside of hedge. the branches
and stems of which will hold the wires
in place as the hedge increases in
growth. A poor, thin hedge, of small
growers, is thus made into an efficient
barrier, and the hedge is sufficiently
visible. Strong growing hedge plants
are not wanted for this purpose, for it
would require too much labor to keep
them cut into proper shape. There arc
other modes for removing the danger,
but some of the preceding may be en-
ployed in nearly all cases, and the fences
will to comparatively cheap in con-
struction. q Country Gentleman.
