PROSPECTIVE ALLIANCE.

BOMBAY, April "a dispatch TO the
Gazette, from Rawul Pindi, says: "The
conference between Lord Dufferin and
Abdurrahman Khan, has resulted in
the Ameer's strongly favoring an ALI

u sE STRONG TALK.
LONDON, April 9.-The DAILY 7ele-
graph says: Russia throughout has
intended to give England trouble, and
puts affronts upon her. Unless repara-
ton is afforded, not by the help OF
golden bridges. but in accordance with
our distinct and stern commands, we
must do our duty by India and our
selves, and wage such war as will in
sure repose to India for half CEN
fury. nrr
DON'T WANT TO LOSE.
LONDON, April 9.-Most of the owners
of collieries IN England and Wales have
cancelled all orders for coal to be
shipped to Russia at the risk of being
sued for breach of contract.
DID OF DID NOT.
The Post in an editorial says: sit is
most impossible TO deal patiently with
Gladstone's statement that he has asked
Russia to explain the attack on
the Afghans, and that the In
cident might not interrupt
the negotiations. Even those
most DESTROYS of peace, the Post says,
must feel that all negotiations are now
closed. The question lies in a nutshell :
Russia either did or did not acquaint
General Komaroff with the agreement
of March the 18th"
LONDON, April 10.-The majority OF
the Paris newspapers consider war
between England and Russia as IN
evitable, unless Bismarck at once uses
his influence in favor of peace.

wise concessions to the opposition clamor.
He will make another now if be seeks to
re>establish Egyptian authority in that
country, as the dispatches concerning
Hassan. Bey and Ismail Pasha seem to in
dicate. The whole justification for Brit
ish interference in the Soudan has rested
on the proclamation that the Soudanese
arc to be relieved from Egyptian tyranny
as soon as the country could be brought
from its condition of anarchy But if, as
is more likely, Hassan is to be made the
independent governor of the region, il
would still be a mistake. The one strong
man the crisis has developed, the truest
and most capable friend of England, is
the Mudir of DOngola-a fanatical Mo,
hammedan with an ambition for this posi-
that he has but half concealed. He has
abundantly earned the honor, and tc
roughly check his aspirations might in
this crisis prove dangerous.

Que night lately at the Home of the Mer-
ciful Savior for Crippled Children, between
the hours of l and 2, Sister Sarah was
aroused by hearing chair fall over below
stairs. Hastily putting on her wrapper,
lamp in hand, she descended to the parlor.
Her first glance revealed an open window at
the back part of the room. A small part of
the parlor is curtained off The curtain was
parted, and Sister Sarah thought it moved.
Approaching it, she found herself face to
face with white man, tall and stout. Fix
ing her eyes upon him, she said: "The
Chinese have a saying that to some men
hearts have been given, and to some giz-
yards. You must be one who has gizzarl
instead of heart" And with look of
scorn she continued "You have come to q
house as a thief where there are only crippled
children and Il few women TO take care OF
them" The man drew his hat down over
his eyes and leaped out of the window.
