will cay that he is a man of great powers,
singular fascination, and strong eloquencs.
He was meant for big things. but he has be-

ruined his nerve Re is wreck of re.
markable man. and since his nature demands
'Ome strong n olive for action be has given
himself over entirely to drink and avarice.
The stupid, freckled Irishmen whom 1 saw

degradation bitterly, and ne soIaces himself
with collecting coins. 1 saw his fine house

into a cowardiy, drunken plunderer of the
poor.

IT ia said that Hon. 5 Cox, our new

him during visit TO Constantin0ple "He

If We remember correctly, we think that in
the account which Mr.. Cox gave at the time
of his visit to Turkey that he was also
very lavish in his praises of Gen.
eral Lew Wallace, in return for kind
nesses and courtesies extended him by the
American Minister. Now, Mr.. Cox ehould
have hesitated about displacing such a

favors. he might have promptly said to
Mr. Cleveland "Mr. President, you had
better not disturb General Wallace. He
was SO very kind to me during my visit that
1 really hesitate about accepting the posi-
ton" Thie would be entirely in line with
the sentiment that prevents Mr.. Cox from
displacing the Under Secretary of the Lega-

worth 81 800 per annum. Is it

kHARTOUM.

Description of tho City in tho soudan
Hands.
Khartoum Is city numbering be-
tween fifty and sixty thousand people.
Several European consuls reside there.
The American consul was Azar Abd-el-
Melek, a Christian Copt from Esneh,
and one of the principal merchants.
The European colony is small and con-
tinually changing for Khartoum is a
perfeqt graveyard for Europeans, and
in the 2ainy season for natives also, the
mortality averaging then from thirty to
forty per day, which implies three
thousand to four thousand for the season.
Khartoum is the commercial center Of
the Soudan trade, amounting altogether
to sixty-tive million dollars year, and
carried on by one. thousand European
and three thousand Egyptian CONNER
cial houses. Drafts and bills of ex-
change upon Khartoum are as good as
gold in Cairo and Alexandria, and vice
versa. From official sources | learned
that the city contained three thousand
and sixty houses, many of them two
stored, each having from ten to one
hundred and fifty occupants. Stone
and lime are found in abundance, and
the buildings are, after a fashion, sub
stantial, the houses belonging to rich
merchants being very spacious and com
Portable. There are large bazars, in
which is found a much greater variety
of European and Asiatic goods than
would be expected in such distant re-
gions. In the spacious market-place a
brisk trade is carried on IN cattle,
horses, camels, asses and sheep, as well
as grain, fruit and other agricultural
produce. Many years ago an Austrian
Roman Catholic mission was estab-
lished and literally supported by the
Emperor of Austria and by contribu-
tions from the entire Catholic world. 1t
occupies a large parallelogram sur
rounded by solid wall. Within this
Enclosure, in beautiful gardens of palm,
fig, pomegranate, orange and banana,
stand a massive cathedral, hospital
and other substantial buildings. Before
the people of Egypt and the Soudan had
been irritated by foreign interference,
such was their perfect liberation and
good temper that the priests and nuns,
in their distinctive costumes, were al
ways safe from molestation, not only at
Khartoum, but even at Ell Obeid and
the neighborhood, where the majority
are Mussulmans and the rest heathens.
1t was stated some months ago that
Gordon had abandoned the Governor s
palace and transformed the Catholic
mission into fortress, its surrounding
wall and massive buildings rendering il
capable of strong resistance.-Genera!

FARM AND FiRESIDE.


Economy in feeding, and in all the
very little is saved by each one, would
add greatly to our National and individ-
ual wealth.
Give to the cows none but the best
and purest food. With no other stock
is this so essential, for the reason that
it has been fully demonstrated by com.

very prolific source of transmitting dis

especially from impure water.-N. E.

circumstances being equal, crop
planted at the sea level will appear
above ground four days before similar
crop planted 800 feet above it.
Baked Eggs: Take five eggs and
put the yelks in bowl and stir with a
little salt and pepper. The whites
should be beaten to stiff froth, and If
there are more whites than yelks, the
dish is so much better. After the whites
are stiff as can be, pour the yelks over
them and mix lightly with a spoon,
then turn all instantly into a hot baking
dish with little melted butter in the
