CAIRO, April 20.-A large number OF
refugees, owing to shortness of prOvis-
ions, left Shendy n few days ago in II
steamer for Berber. The steamer ran
aground near Elboa and was soon sur,
rounded by swarms of rebels who at
tackled the steamer on all sides and
massacred every one on board. The
fugitives numbered four hundred and
fifty including portion of the Shen-
dy garrison and many women and
children. Nubar Pasha, the prime
minister, fears that before long the
spirit ofrebellion will reach Assouau.
He has received dependent tele-
gram from Hussein Pasha, governor of
Berber in which the attitude of the
population generally is said to be
threatening. He reports Berber will
shortly be surrounded and captured
by the rebels who are constantly in
creasing in number around the town
and threatening all avenues of COM
munication. Hussein Pasba will re-
sign unless troops are sent to defend
the town.

A writer in the Century boldly ar
CUES that we are ga nation of rascals,"
and he cites number OF disgraceful in
stances where during the past twenty
years, certain states and towns have re-
pudiated, in whole or in part, or at
tempted torepudiate, their honest debts
and contracts deliberately defrauding
their creditors who purchased their
bonds out of both the principal and the
interest due them. It is certainly bad
record but the proposition of the writer
that our national Government should
assume the repudiated and defaulted in
debtedness of states and pay the credi-
tors in full, principal and interest is not
to be considered moment Aside from
the injustice of making New York pay a
portion of the repudiated debt of Miss
issippi, such an act would be most
dangerous precedent. Things are bet
ter as they have been from the first.
Creditors of States have never looked to
the United States for payment, MOI
creditors of counties and towns to the
states for their dues, save as provided
by law. A departure from this custom
might work infinite harm.

Watchers Of Congress cannot have
failed to notice the great increase in
importance into which conference COM
mittees are growing. The fashion now
adays is to formally disagree to oil
amendments proposed by one house to
a bill coming from the other, and refer
the points in dispute to a committee of
conference, composed of three members
of either house. These six Congress-
men can add, cut and change the bills
submitted to them pretty much as they
choose, and their work is generally
ratified without much objection or con-
sideration of any sort. The custom has
grown popular from the difficulty of
getting the houses in free and open de-
bate to agree to anything, and is, per-
haps, q necessary device under the
present code of rules But it is dam
gerous convenience, and greatly increas-
es the responsibilities of the President
of the Senate and Speaker, as they Sc
lect all the conference committees.

Crime Exposed.

Only few months ago the papers
gave an instance of the acuteness of
French detective. A man had mur-
dered his female companion and buried
her body in cellar. The corpse was
discovered and the man then said that
the woman had killed herself by falling
downstairs, and that he had buried her
secretly, fearing to be accused of her
death. He asserted that this accident"
took place in autumn, in October. The
detective observed the traces of smoke
on the ceiling. "You had candle when
you buried the body" he remarked, and
was answered in the affirmative. "And
you say you only entered the cellar on
that one day in October?" The suspected
man again averred 1t. "You are speak
ing falsely" retorted the detective, and
showed the murderer, between the crew
ices of the ceiling, the half consumed
larvae of certain insects which only lay
in the spring, and which had been burnt
by his candle at the time he had actually
buried his victim. How often has clever
forgery been detected by some keen
observer who noted sonAe very trifing
oversight in the skillful fraud. Forged
wills have been found out from the wa
ter-mark of the paper not tallying with
their date. There is story Of false
will being once propounded in a French
court, and the forgery was so skillful
that it appeared impossible to deny the
documents authenticity, though certain
circumstances caused it's genuineness to
be suspected. It was drawn, not on
ordinary paper, but on the back of
map Of France professedly over century
old. The name of the publisher Of the
map was in the corner, together with
the date, and the words, "Geographer
to the King" Though the relatives
who were injured by the will felt con-
vinced that fraud was being practiced
upon them, redress seemed hopeless,
But clever lawyer discovered that, at
the time of the supposed publication of
the map, the dignity of "Geographer to
the King" had not been conferred upon
the map-maker. The name was correct,
that of we'll known publisher of charts
in his day, and he had been permitted
to assume the title the forger had added,
but not till some years after the date
of the forged map. Investigations clear
ly proved that the geographer never as
sumed the title till it was legally con-
ferred upon him, and never afterward
published map without adding it; the
map, as we'll as the will written upon its
back, was forgery, detected by an OBJ
server of unusual acuteness.-London

The States did not always vote on the
same day for president. In the cam
paign of 1874, which ended in Clay's
defeat by Polk, twelve of the twenty
six States voted on the first Monday in
November, three on the first Tuesday,
three on the second Monday, and the
others at different times, New Jersey
taking two days for the business, be-
ginning with the first Tuesday, Pennsyl-
vania the first Friday and Ohio the
last Friday, and South Carolina not
choosing her electors until the Legis-
lature met, about the first of December.
The only requirement then was that
the electors should be chosen within
the thirty-four days proceeding the first
Wednesday in December, but early in
1845 the present law was passed, which
provides that all electors shall be chosen
on the Tuesday next after the first
Monday of November.

The organ of the British grain trade
states that the drouth this year in Eng
land has been the most severe and pro-
longed since 1868. But so opposite are
the climatic conditions of England and
the United States, that drouth, which
in this country is destructive to field
crops, may be looked upon ordinarily in
England in the light of blessing. In
one instance an excess of moisture is
normal, and in the other an excess of
dryness. In 1868, therefore, the Eng
ish wheat crop was the largest in twen-
ty years. The authority from which
we quote, however, shows that the
drouth of 1884 has been accompanied
by temperature extraordinarily low,
while that of 1868 was abnormallv high.
The crop outlook for 1884 is therefore
less favorable.
