EX-SENATOR MCDONALD makes himself
solid with the boys, and confirms their esti-

that ''after the fall elections the President

in his policy" Very likely. AT any rate,
the chances are that he will open his eyes
with the suddenness of jack-in-a-box.

THE receipts by the New York World for the
Grant monument fund on Saturday were just
sixteen cents-no more, no less. These were
contributed by seven persons, an average Of
little over two cents each. At this rate the

IN yesterdays Sentinel Senator Voorhees,
makes begging and pitiful plea to the well
proven charge against him, that he has re-
moved numerous Union soldiers from Office
and has appointed none to Office. The facts
are dead against the Senator. He very disn-
genuously cites the appointments of Colonies
DENLY to China, Mclean to the Pension De-
partment, and Williams to an authorship.
This won't do. He had little to do with these
appointments He controls the patronage in
Indiana To Offices in Indiana, which es-
pointed single soldier. Every officer in In
diana he has removed was soldier These in
clude, amongst others, three collectors Of inter
nal revenue, the United States District Attor-
ney, and others. In every case he has recon-
mended to ill these places men who were not
soldiers. And his appointees have discharged
all their soldier subordinates and supplanted
them with men who were not soldiers. He
has recommended in place of the gallant sol
der, Gen. r. S. Foster United States mar
shall, a man named Hawkins whose record is
that he never was soldier, and never thought
Of being one. The record is against the Sen
ator. He has had filed charges of offensive
rartisanship against every Union soldier who
held an important federal Office in Indiana.
He had them all removed. He has filled
every vacancy he so made with men who were
not soldiers. Under Senator Voorhees, pol
icy every Union soldier has got to 60.

GREAT disgust is expressed in Democratic
circles at Washington over the proposition
that the boys to be employed as messengers
under the new system of immediate delivery
of letters, be placed within the pale of the
civil service. The first suggestion of this ma
ture came from Postmaster Pearson, Of New
York, an official who is accepted, perforce,
but not loved by the Democracy, and whose
influence with the administration is by no
means soothing to the Bourbon heart. Pear
sons idea has been taken up by the Civil
service Commission, and an effort will be
made to have this department of the postal
service regulated by the civil-service rules,
and the literary qualifications of the juvenile
applicants tested by examination. Whether
special arrangements will be made for testing
their speed, their power of resisting the vari-
Gus temptations to tarry by the wayside,
which assail boys who bear messages, and
whether the examiners will investigate their
habits as to honesty and truthfulness, are
matters on which the dissatisfied brethren de-
sire to be informed. The general opinion ex-
pressed is that the six hundred postmasters
who will be required to employ these special
messengers should be allowed to use their own
judgment in making the selections. The en-
tire number to be employed in this service
will probably not exceed two thousand and
the remuneration is in no case to exceed $50
per month, but the prospect that even this
fragment of patronage will slip out of party
hands adds weight to hearts already sad
and hungry.

The wild phantoms aud shreking cries Of a
worthless humbug can make money by impo-
sing upon the credulity and ignorance Of an
honest public, and the supply of this species
Of work seems more than an adequate demand.
The enupcatiOn Of facts-facts that have
stood crucial tests-facts proven by brain force
and tangible evidence, should satisfy all laud-
able enterprises; but the execrable practice
of teaching false ideas and doctrines for self
aggrandzement is truly reprehensible and
should be scOrned by all classes.
When we tell the public that Il. b. b., the
great Blood Poison Remedy, contains lodide
of Potash as one of its ingredients, and when
we, as old members of the medical profession,
say that I0dide OF Potash is not poison, and
when the whole catalogue Of physicians tell
you that it is not poison, we think it very
presumptive for men outside of the Professor
to assert that it is poison. The facts do not
warrant such conclusion, and ii those who
make the assertion that Potash is a poison do
not know better, they are set of unenylable

IRRIGATION IN EGYPT.

'A0 'NAAeI OF the Nile IS Enriched.
From the Nineteenth Century.
The ancient wealth of Egypt has ever
been In It's crop of corn. AS surely as
the seasons come round, so surely has
the Nile risen year by year. From the
earliest time the valley OF the Nile has
been divided by earthen entertainments
INTO succession of great flats, measur-
Ing occasionally as much as 100, 900 acres.
Inc rising food is diverted by a series Of
snort canals into these flats, where the
water stands two or three feet deeD until
IL has soaked the soil and deposited its
rlch alluVal mud. By this time the Nile
mas subsidized. The drying mud is ruGey
pioughed and sOwn, and four or five
months after the crop is reaped. No rain
has fallen on it, but the soil has been suf-
HcIentIy saturated to require no further
watering. A rich crop is produced. but
by tins system only one crop in the year.

not long In discovering the benefits this
conferred on them. Pumps and wafer
wheels soon lined the banks of the canals.
Egypt became known as a couon-Dro-
duclng country, and during the AmerI-
can civil war, twenty years ago. wealth
poured INTO IT. But this new system was
vastly more complicated one than that

venience of wealthy men numerous canals
were cut, without system or arrange
ment. Complaints soon began that the
crops We're deteriorating, that the soil
was being exhausted, no longer replen-
lshed by lying two months year under
muddy water. In many places salt eff

to vegetation. In high Nile there was
abundance of water for all, but in low
ME, just when the cotton crop wanted it
most, there was least TO be had, and then
the peasants poor little patch had every
chance OF being Witbered. while the Pa
shas broad acres were fiOurshing. Worst
OF all, this great net work of canals was
yearly filled with Nile deposit, which had
yearly to be removed, and an unpaid
army OF $4,000 peasants was employed for
about half OF every year effecting the nee
essary clearances. In the long, narrow
Nalley Oh upper Egypt, except in one pOr-
ton, the Old PharaOnic system of irriga-
ton still prevails, and here the Egyptian
has little to learn. In the delta the new
cultivation with perennial irrigation is
practiced, and in this, the richest part of
the country, Lord Dufferin soon saw the
graVest reasons for anxiety. A system
had been created which the people did
not understand. Ignorance OF the most
ordinary rules oil engineering, Incidence

country.
