THE SITUATION IN EGYPT A
LITTLE MORE PROMISING.
Braokenbury Reaches Abu Hamed
on the Nile and Butler is Sup
piled at Ahu Klea Wells
with Water and
Rations.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-The arrival of
Gen. Brackcnbury's column at Abu
llamed will be a welcome event for
the British, since there will for a
few weeks at least be a possible line
of communication with Korosko,
above the second cataract. This line
is 235 miles long and there is only
one point at which water is found,
but steps will doubtless be taken to
forward stores Of water TO FL Murad
in advance, and by forced camel
marches the distance can be covered
in nine days. At best, this line will
he an Indifferent one, but anything
is preferred TO the isolation of the
past several days.

TIoNs GOOD.

SALISBURY TO ATTACK THE GLAD

LONDON, Feb. 24.-The Marquis OF
Salisbury gave notice to the House of
Lords that on Thursday next he
would move that the deplorable fail
ure of the Soudan expedition to OBJ.
tain its object was due TO the undeci
ded councils of the Government and
the culpable delay attending the com.
mencement of operation and second

abandoning the whole Soudan after
the conclusion of military operations
would be dangerous to Egypt and
inconsistent with the interests of the
Empire. The notice was received
with cheers.

When Frye, Of Maine, made some
facetious remark yesterday about the
cost of carrying the mails in the
mountains of Kentucky, Senator
Beck remarked that Kentucky paid
more into the Federal Treasury each
year than Maine had paid altogether
in the last half century. Not being
strong enough to resist the advances
of club, Mr.. Frye sat down, and the
subsequent proceedings interested
him no more.-Louisville Times.

Heavy Forgeries.

From the Tobacco Leaf of Tuesday
we learn that VIM. ID. Morton, a. SON.
in-law Of Mr.. Oscar E. Tandy, of
Trenton, has been guilty Of heavy
forgeries III Clarksville. 1t has come
TO light that Morton obtained from
the First National Bank $500 and
from the Farmers and Merchants
National Bank $500 on forged
paper, while with the latter he left as
collateral and for collection notes
amounting to 1870, $500 of which
is known to be forgery. In all he
has forged the names of o. E. Tandy,
j. d. Tandy and j. w. Fulcher, citi-
zens ofTodd county, to $1,000 in notes
and checks on which he realized 49,
600, from the two banks named.
The history of the affair is as follows;
Last July Morton borrowed 81, 100
from the First National Bank and
gave o. L. Tandy as security. When
this fell due Morton offered in lieu
another note for $2,l0O with j. d.
Tandy and j. w. Fulcher as sureties.
The note fell due Feb. IL. 1t was
not paid and the bank wrote TO those
gentlemen and they replied that their
signatures were forgcrics. This i'm
formation was received last Saturday.
Morton's transactions with the
Farmers and Merchants National
Bank commenced last October, when
he borrowed of it $3.50, giving
Messrs. o. e. Tandy and j. w. Full
cher as security. These signatures
were genuine, but when the note be-
came due in January he took it up
and gave sixty-day note for the
the same amount, with j. w. Fulcher
and j. d. Tandy as security, forging
their signatures, and representing to
Messrs. Fulcher and o. +. Tandy
that he had paid it.
Last week Morton went TO the
Grange Warehouse and asked for an
advance of 81 400 on his father-in-
laws tobacco crop. Messrs. Hern-
don, Young & Co., readily granted it,
whereupon Morton gave a note for
that amount and signed it 90. e.
Tandy, per Norton" when he was
given two checks, one for $500 and
the other for 5000, payable to the
order of o. L. Tandy.
Last Wednesday Morton went to
the Farmers and Merchants bank and
left four notes as collateral, aggre-
eating $I,34050. These notes were
payable to w. d. Morton. One was
from ii. p. Tandy for $40; another
from E. G. HARRISON for $3.50 and a
third from w. G. Patrick for $3.50.
The fourth was from o. L. Tandy for
81, 100 and was forgery. These
notes were left to secure $l02 over
drawn on Morton's bank account.
Morton went South "Wednesday
night and was arrested in Mis-
sissippi Tuesday. lie is a travelling
salesman for the Nashville Plow Co.,
and has stood high in business cir
cles. He is % years old and has a
wife and baby. lie was married to
Miss Rosa Tandy about three years
ago. The Tobacco Leaf says:
at is known TO some that for some
time Mr.. Morton had complained OF
his head. Some months ago he
placed himself under the care of DR.
Patrick, who treated him for mental
alteration, caused by an overtaxed

from Utah Territory knows that for him
to stand up in Congress and urge that the
enforcement of the laws in Utah by
United States officials is persecution
and an overriding of the Constitution
would be an affront to Congress. Would
not little sincerity on the part of the
Delegate from the Territory he quite as
good as sincerity on the part of Mr.
Rawlins, the want of which the Ne'os so
deprecates? Mr. Rawlins is sincere, al
though the Nc,rs may not think him so.
The NecS brings the same charge of in
sincerity against Mr.. Rawlins that the
Tribune brings against the "Young De-
mocracy''-that it is insincere. These
two great exponents of pure patriotism
both agree as to the Democrats, which
shows that they are better judges of the
Democrats and their motives and SINGER
ity than the Democrats themselves.

TRAITORS.

Yesterday mornings Tribune had the
following:
Major Nounnan expected Mr. Bambergel
to make an apology through the press fol
sitting free speech on Saturday evening last
thrust, as the Major expresses it, at the
very fundamental principles of Democracy
but, Mr.. b. failed to come to time, and on
Thursday evening the veteran of the Con-
tederacy proposes to speak to the people a
little genuine Democracy on his own hook
1t is new role for the Tribune to be-
come the champion of the Democracy OF
the Confederacy. If we remember right
ly, it has been the habit of that paper to
speak of all who fought for or in
any way upheld the Confederacy, as
traitors. 1t has been its custom to
speak of such as taking the Nation by
the throat; and now it would take
these same men bv the hand. 1t is
strange how some birds do moult. If
the MornfSns are all traitors and rebels.
and the Tribune has said so, what is the
difference between the two kinds of trait
ors? 1t says that those Democrats who
are now campaigning for the first straight
Democratic ticket erer nominated IN Utah.
are but the tag-end OF the Mormons. Such
being the case, they, too, must be traitors.
1t is pleasant to see a great patriot take
to its great bosom and fondle and caress
such as it itformerly called traitors and such
dear names. Such are the beautiful
effects of Christianity upon the good mans
heart. "Love one another"

APPROVING THE ADMINISTRATIO

The Tribune said it would give the
Administration earnest praise" if it de-
served it, Evidently it thinks the Adj
ministration worthy of it, for on March
26 it said
The Presidents late appointments do not
suit the extreme Eastern people very well.
The sending of Phelps of Vermont, an al
most unknown man, to represent the United
States in the Court of st. James, they look
upon as an injustice. The reason is, they dc
not yet fully comprehend all that a change
III the Administration means. So far as
New York City and most of its newspapers
are concerned, they looked upon the change
of Administrations as a mere choice between
men, and considered the matter very little
further than how it was TO affect the COM
merclal interests of the country. They
would not believe that any great principles
were being involved in the matter. 1heH
might hare feceiced hint on iRduquiatioH
day, had they listened TO the r0ciferous uelIs
Uhtch greeted The coming of General
tUzbWgh Lee in the procession, and
the frigid silence which, in the same
procession, greeted the old Sixty-ninth New
York regiment, which, with tattered battle
flags waving, moved past the grand stand.
In other words without any offensive an
nouncements of the fact, the election meant
that the men who endorsed the Democratic
platform of 1861 were to take charge of the
administration of affairs and that the men
who did not. were to take a back seat. JD
the exact line Of that change President Clere-
land nominated -NT. Phelps Ia De Enroy E.c-
trdordiRdry To the Court of st. James. In
lSOf his partisan anger was so fierce that he
denounced Lincoln, charged the men who
were making struggle to save their country
from destruction with being actuated with
no higher motives than of malxiug a war
that they might despoil the South of proper
~, and obtain, for their mistresses, the
women who were the property of Southern

was due him, and So gave him this ear

ported, IN which he charged that the Coy
arnment had to buy foreigners to do Its

Professor Richard A. Proctor recently
gave Il lecture in New York city, in which
he said:
have seen it mentioned many times in
the last five years that a comets tail is Il
beam Of light thrown from the head or
nucleus OF Il comet \ comets head can
not gather Light, and stars can be seen
through it, which shows that it has not the
power Of producing light. The latest the
ory is that 4 comets tail is formed by the
suns heat, and consists of the vapor of iron,
hydrogen and carbon. Whether the tail
is straight or curved depends upon the kind
Of vapor. Jupiter has an interesting fam
Ky Of comets, and it is noticed that the
comets are obedient to the planets of our
solar system. Comets were looked upon
by the ancients as evil omens, and are even
looked upon with superstition by many
good people to-day, who believe that they
are the forerunners Of war; pestilence and
famine. The comet of 1879 resembled the
comet of 1882, and, with the comets of
1850 and 1859, gives complete illustra-
ton of all the forms of comets yet observed.
The comet of 1881 showed many wonderful
changes through a telescope, and a curved
and also straight tail as seen in this coun-
try, and in Europe it had three tails.
Around the head Of a comet there is va
porous matter tending toward the sun.
When it reaches certain point, the sun
reyels it, and it floats away in the shape of
Il mighty tail. There is no light directly
behind comets head, generally, though
in Halle's comet, this region was peculiarly
brilliant. The comet of l144 had ten tails
/
passed so close to the sun that it is q won
der that it did not 90 into it. The only
way comet can iniure the earth is by
crossing its path ard leaving metcoric mat
ter behind, in which the earth Will run.
Comets sometimes disappear. The spec
troscope shows the yapor Of carbon, hydro
carbon and sodium or common salt, in the
tails OF comets. Meteors aud comets are
Intimately connected. Nctcors are brilliant
every thirty-three years. The great shower
is due in 1899 The orbit OF metcors is
elliptical and extends beyond the planet
Uranus. Mcteors are no doubt the rem
HantS of disintegrated comets. They travel
at the rate Of 33 miles second and
every year 400,000000 Of them fall to the
earth. We are protected from them be
cause they are usually small and the at
mosphere turns them into vapor. Large
ones sometimes reach the earth. They
are thrown out from planets. The comet
Of 1852 that was expected to destroy the
earth, has gone off ON a Journey that twill
take 500 years to finish. The grandest Of all
bodies was the comet Of 1871. 1t was 160,-
600 miles through the head, and It's tail
was ll5,000,000 miles long, and it moved
with Il velocity of 80 miles 4 second. If
it had struck the sun it would have de
s,royed life on all the solar systems. In
