Amelia Mag, one of the prettiest bellies of
Bridesburg, cut her throat and killed herself
in the kitchen of her mothers house because
wandering fortune-teller had prophesied
for her long and unlucky married life with
man she could not love. The pretty vic
tim of this singular tragedy has had hosts of
suitors. She was only twenty-five years old,
and had lived all her life with her mother
and brother, the latter keeping prosperous
tavern. She was sociable, merry, intelli-
gent girl, and had never passed a gloomy day
in her life until the shadow of the fortune
teller fell across her path. GA purer girl
never liyed,' said member of the Lutheran
Church after the tragedy to-day. She kept
her lovers all at an equal distance and her
heart to herself. About month ago there
wandered into Bridesburg little old Dutch
man, lean, shriveled and sharp-eyed, who
stopped at the United States Arsenal and
proclaimed himself a fortune-teller. He
wandered about and finding Mary Fritch and
Amelia Mag at the formers house proposed
to tell their fortunes. sYou were born un-
lucky" he said to Amelia, looking at her
hand, ''and you will be unlucky until you
die. You will bring evil upon those about.
You must not give presents because they
carry bad luck with them, nor accept pres
ents of others" The fortune-teller referred
to Amelia's past with sufficient accuracy in
detail to brighten the young girl, and finally
she asked him. ''Win marry?" eyes,"
replied the fortune-teller. "You will marry
one you are not in love with, and you are
fated to live with him a long, long time"
The girl became very much depressed, and
from that time never saw another happy mo-
ment,

England and Egypt.

In the House of Lords, when the news of the fall of Sinkat was received, Mar quis of Salisbury made a motion that in the opinion of the House the recent h. mentable events in the Soudan were largely due to the vacillating policy of the government. In making his motion of censure the Marquis of Salisbury said that if the government had re- solved either to hold or to abandon Sen mar, Gen. Hicks might have been saved. His loss was due to their vacilla- ton, their indifference, their inconsist- ency, ending in panic. The news would now run through the whole Moham- medan world that England had been de- teated again and again and again, and was now being hunted out of Egypt. England's name would be Q legacy of hatred and contempt to Egyptians. In conclusion the orator asked whether the abandonment of garrisons, the slaugh- ter of brave men, and the surrender of women and children to the horrors of an Oriental victory involved no bloodguiIti- ness. and exhorted the Lords not to be accomplices in this dishonor.
 Earl Granville, Foreign Secretary, said in reply that the policy of the govern ment was not directed according to the articles in foreign journals. The Mar quis of Salisbury was laboring under a mistake if he meant to convey the i'm pression than my European power had demonstrated with England. He pro- tested against the iden that because a foreign army selected English officers England was thereby made responsible for that army's success. 1t would be no economy of the blood of English sol diers to send them to hold the Soudan, although the Marquis of Salisbury thought the government vacillating and inconsistent in not doing so. England and India had no interest in the Soudan, nor, indeed, had Egypt any permanent interest in that country.
 Why this great sympathy for Sinkat and Tokar, which represented not moro than fiftieth of the troops in the Sou. danp It was necessary for the govern. ment to be careful so as not to clash with the larger views of Gen. Gordon. The government, however, had ascertained that it would not interfere with GorGon's plans if force were sent to net around Suakim with a view to the relief of Tokar. Since the defeat of Baker Pacha it had been altogether impossible to re- lieve Sinkat.
 The government had no intention of annexing Egypt. It would remain there simply long enough to secure stable government. It would be quite impos- sible to govern Egypt from Downing street. The only thing that could be done would be to appoint a tirst-rate man to represent England ill Egypt, and then to recommend efficient men to civil and military positions and give English support. The force of circum- stances had obliged the government to go further than it had proposed, but the cabinet ought to restrict England's con- neetion with Egypt to tine object de- clored by the government.
 The Marquis of Salisbury's motion was carried by vote of 1S1 to S1.

X Prehistoric Race.

The Porrenir of Managua, Nicaragua, publishes the following interesting archaeological item: "Dr. Earl Flint came here from Rivas last week for the purpose of inspecting traces of human footsteps which have been discovered in a quarry owned by Senor A. Reyes, at a depth of fifteen feet from the surface.
 Traces of these footsteps were first noticed in some stone which had been quarried and was being employed in the
 erection of a house. The doctor calcu- lated these prints to be at least 50, GOO years old. They are of several sizes, as though made by men, women md chil- dren, who have thus left proof of their existence in prehistoric alluvial earth,
 since converted into rock. In other ex. cavations in the neighborhood pieces of earthenware pottery, standing on three legs, painted in black, red, and silver colors, and the drawings on which are Etruscan, have been obtained. On one of them n dressing gown is drawn al- most on the European model of to-day.

Another Pension Bill.
MEASURE THAT WOULD GIVE RELIEF TO SURVIVORS OF THE MEXICAN AND TN- DIAN WARS.

A Washington correspondent says: In the House there is bill near the head of the calendar which promises for the payment of pensions at the rate of SS Q month to the pensioners of the Mexican war who served sixty, Creek, Seminole and Black Hawk Indian wars who served thirty days and to the surviving widows of officers and soldiers of these wars. The bill also provides that the statute which prohibits the payment of pensions to persons who have been disloyal to the Government, shall not apply to the beneficiaries of the proposed act. The friends of this bill are preparing to urge it's consideration at an early day and are confident of getting it through the House without much trouble. A news paper paragraph says:
 If the bill recently reported from the House Committee on Pensions, which provides for the payment of pensions to soldiers of the Mexican and Indian Wars, becomes law it is estimated that the cost to the Government will be about $1, ,370, ,496, and that the average life of each pensioner will be about fonr- teen years. There are living to-day 11,000 survivors of the Mexican war and 3,276 who fought in the Florida Creek and Black Hawk wars, making total of 14, ,276 soldiers who will receive pensions if the bill becomes law.

AN OUTLINE OF THE NEW soHEAM-Two
 VESSELS TO GO.

The report of the board of officers ap- pointed to consider the plans for the Greedy Relief expedition has been made public. The general programme pro- posed is as follows: The relief party to go North in two ships, which should en- ieavor to reach Upernavik not later than May 15. From Upernavik they should go to Littleton Island and endeavor to open communication with the natives at and north of Cape York. A depot should be established on Littleton Island, the stores being taken from ship No. l, md left in charge of one officer and two men. After leaving Lit tIeton Island and reaching the ice bar rier, the design of the expedition would be for No. l to take the first favorable opportunity to push 10 the northward, leaving No. 2 as base to fall back upon in case of disaster or for a second attempt to reach Lady Franklin Sound.
 No. 2 would not enter the ice pack, but would manoeuvre constantly to the southward of it, or anchor in the imme- diate vicinity; be ready to land O second depot of provisions for the first, includ- ing two whaleboats, in case No. be re- quired to proceed north in the event of disaster to No. l.
