England and Egvnt.

Precisely what Turkey is up to in ordering
troops TO Africa can only be guessed. That
the Sultan is acting on on bis own volitiou
is not at all probable. To be sure he has
sort of theoretical right to some influence Ill
Egyptian affairs, but the powers have re-
garded it for long time as purely theoreti-
cal and not to be reduced to practice. Unless
therefore some one of them had changed its
mind and had promised to back the Sublime
Porte Turkey would have made no such
move as is reported. The power suspected
of course is Germany. AS long as Bismarck
lives the origin of ali intrigues will be laid at
the door of that nation, and as rule no
mistake will be made in so doing.
For some time the rumor has been cur
rent that Bismarck proposed to take hand
in Egyptian affairs aud compel England to
show her hand. This despatching OF Turk-
coursA England will not permit the Pore to
interfere and the Sultan's troops will +. ceive
pressing invitation to return home. The
affair is likely however to compel England
% adopt some decided policy in regard to
Egypt There is little doubt that in the
bear future she must decide to abandon the
country altogether or else assume its govern
ment ia name as well as 10 fact. The situa-
tion is evidently viewed with great anxiety
in London and the newspapers are declar-
ing that crisis is approaching, the gravest
since The bombaIdment of Alexandra.
1t is easy to feresee thal England will
not abandon the country. British pride
would not permit that under the crcum-
ances. International control which the
other powers seem 10 be striving after is
hateful TO her. The only policy which will
suit the British nation in its present temper
is Ole that looks to sole control of Egyp-
tan affairs for a time at least. What will
Germany say to that? is a question which
is probably troubling the British foreign
Office good deal just now and the anxiety
rs evidently shared by the nation.
The Portland daily press., 1885-01-23

The Maine branch the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union asks the legislature
TO pass law requiring in all schools, sup
ported by public money or under control of
the State, instruction in physiology and
hygiene, which shall give special prominence
TO the effects OF alcoholic drinks, stimulants
aud narcotics, upon the human system. The
object which the women of the Union have
In view Is obvious enough and it is certainly
commendabIe one. If instruction, such as
the bill proposes, will tend to check intem-
perance, part Of the school session might
proGtably be devoted to it, for the abuse of
etimulants is one Of the greatest evils of the
day. We are Inclined to think, however,
that there is realty very little ignorance pre-
vaifing in regard to this matter. The pre-
else nature OF the effect of alcohol aud OPIUM
on the system may not be generally I'M
derstood, but that the effect is bad the
boy now finds out about as soon as he fnds
out that such things as alcohol AID opium
exist. Very few lads grow up and become
drut kards by reason of ignorance. II is
melancholy fact that ihe vast majority. If
mot every single one, sins against light. We
fear therefore that special instruction in the

The dwellings of the people were all in
the upper part of the great circle, and the
centre was filled up with strange moss struc-
lures, which are now falling TO decay, as
there is no longer any danger from the Tur-
Romans. These places were for containing
the grain of the village and for receiving the
livestock of the villagers when a raid oc-
CURED. One of a number of wells vas
pointed out to us within circle, and we
we're told that they had three or tour which
were always kept in good order in the days
of danger. There is only one entrance
to this circle, and that is by small entrance
scarcely four feet in height, to which there
is stone door working with a pivot and
socket similar to the ancient stone doors
found in the Haurah and other parts of the
Soudan. This stone door of Lasglrd is
very rude one, being eight inches thick In
some parts, and it tells It's tale of the exis-
teuce OF great danger and the necessity for
protection. Sir Peter Lunsden had a long
conversation With the Khet Khodah and
some of the principal villagers, and 1t
seemed that they not oply ascribed the orr
gin OF Lasgird 10 the Son of Noah, sNu,' as
they called him; but they likened their
strange dwelling place to the ARK"

The Kennebec Journal says there is very
streng opposition to the proposed enlarge-
ment of the State house, sndit is very doubt
fui If the bill passes. Our State house is
Rather shabby affair, aud its accommoda-
tons are not what they ought to be almost ev-
erybody admits, but the opponents cf the
measure think ihe State cannot afford the
outlay contemplated by it at present. The
State has pretty heavy debt on hand, and a
good many instii iutons which must be taken
care Of. A low raIe OF taxation is Of much
more importance to Maine people than a
handsome Sale house, and if they cant
have both they will undoubtedly prefer the
former

Gen. James A. Hall writes to the Rock
land Gazette denying that he formally with
drew from the Rockland colectorship. New
ertheless be did write to the Secretary of the
Treasury that the result of the November
election was such as to ''render the appoint
ment no longer desirable" to him. That, to
be sure, is not formal withdrawal, but it is
= very pointed intimation that he does not
want the Office, and how Congressman
Dingley or the President could regard it 9TH
erwise it is hard to see. 1t would have been
exceedingly rude Oh the part OF Mr.. DiDgley
to have insisted on appointing Gen. Hall to
an Office which he did not want, and had he
done so the General would have had good
reason to complain. Curiously enough, how
ever, the General is inclined to find fault be-
cause he didn't.

There is great rejpicing in Wisconsin over
the election of Mr.. Spooner to the Senate.
The rest of the country will refrain from
any demonstrations in Mr.. Spooner's honor
until It tiods out who be is. At present he
seems to be utterly unknown outside of his
native State. Il is greatly TO his credit,
however, that where he is known he is re-
spec ed and even admired.

and the Hon. William A. CrOm we'll, the
Young Democracy bv the Hon. John Red
man and the Hon, Charles III Chase by the
Hon. Charles FL. Chase. In the course of
the conversation which is said to have been
very discursiye the Offices were probably
casually alluded 10, and the claims of the
s'Aossbacks", the Young Democracy and
the Hon. Charles II. Chase on Clevelands s
gratitude considered. There seemed to be
adisposition on the part o some of the gen
tlemen, especially M. Crom well, TO ignore
th9 Greenbackers. The Hon. Harris NJ.
Plaisted and the Hon. Benjamin Bunker
were not alluded to in complimentary
terms.
