Too Strong q Temptations.

The postmistress of Corning, Lehigh
County, Penn, has been arrested I'M.
der somewhat singular circumstances.
The people of the neighborhood had
complained for some time that their
mail showed evidence Of having been
tempered with, and investigation re-
vealed the fact that the lady III charge
of the Office had been amusing herself
and adding to her stock of general in
formation by opening and reading
everybody's letters. On being taxed
with this she is said to have ac-
lnowledged the truth OF the accusation,
at the same time observing that she
did not know she was doing anything
for which she could be punished. Dur
ing her periods of innocent law-break-
ing, therefore, she must have enjoyed
one OF the most delightful privileges
conceivable from the point OF view OF
a healthy postmistress with a natur-
ally robust thirst for insight into the
private affairs of her neishbors. That
with such a fund OF knowledge at her
disposal she did not convert the quiet
village OF Corninginto Pandemonium
such MS was created by the diabolical
ear-trumpet OF Dame Eleanor Spear
ing may be regarded as conclusive dem
onstration Ehat she know how to
keep some kinds OF secrets.

arrested Sheik Mahmoud. The intes-
tines of Mahomed Ibrahim were ex-
amined and found full Of arsenic.
Then came into play the curse of
Egypt-viz. protection in high places.
Many of the Egyptians Except the
lower classes, who were delighted at
the fall of Sheik Mahmoud, regarded
and still regard the affair as an Eng.
iish intrigue against Egyptian officials.

replaced by Englishmen.
This feeling and also Git is more
than whispered) the length of the
purse of Sheik M%ahInoud, who is a
rich man, have apparently caused at-
fairs to assume quite n different COM
plexion. (The courts of late have
not been. it appears, acting in a man
ner to ins..;re trust or confidence in
them). Intrigue has been rife. and
the greatest agitation to effect the cs-
cape from condemnation OF the sheik
and his accomplices has been set on
foot. In Egypt it is a very simple af-
fair to buy false witnesses.
The trial is looked to with the great
est interest, and is nov imminent. 1t
will prove TIE worth of the courts. 1t
will prove whether right and justice
can yet hold their W against inter-
est and protection in Egypt.
1t is unfortunate that at present the
courts-a new inst tuition, and there
fore requiring guidance and control
have not at this moment, nor have had
for some months, any practiced Eng
lishman at the helm to advise and sug-
gest. To mary it appears that an
English chief-du-parquet, beside the
procureur-general is absolutely neces-
sary for the guidance of the courts in
their present state.

MarvelS of Modern Surgery,

The marvels and triu mphs of mod
ern surgery are wildly Illustrated by
a case treated by Professor Nussbaum
Of Munich, and described in the"Gar-
tenlaube Kalender." Eleven years
ago he took charge of a boy so NAL
formed and crippled that he was oblig.
ed to crawl about on all fours. Nine
serious operations were performed,
four crooked bones We're broken,
three stiff joints forcibly extended,
several sinews cut through, and nerves
stretched. Weights were then attach.
ed to certain muscles, and by means
OF massage, baths, ointments, and
electricity $ 20 much progress WAS made
that in Anew years the boy was ableto
walk erect with the aid OF clutches and
Especial apparatusfastened to lis feet.
Subsequently he was able to throw
away this apparatus, and exchange
his clutches Tor a cane. and to-day, af-
ter eleven years OF treatment, he is o
healthy and vigorous youth, who can
not only walk like other young men,
but dance, ride on horseback, etc.

Nicaragua Canal.

Engineer Menocal, Of the United
States navy, has made his report on
the Nicaragua canal route, in which
he presents the results Of the recent
expedition OF which he was the chief.
The proposed route runs from Grey
town. on the Caribbean sea, to Brito
on the Pacific, u distance of 1903
miles. OF exca .ated canal there will
be necessary but about thirty-nine
mites, natural waterways making up
the remainder OF the route. In view
Of the lessons taught by the Suez ca
nal, it is thought advisable to'enlarge
the dimensions at first proposed, and
thus to obviatc delays to navigation.
Thirty-two vessels will be able to pass
the canal daily, or a total annual
tonnage Of 2O,44o,O 600. The estima-
ted total cost, including, n contingent
OF 25 per CO.. ! is $64, 043,697.

A White Morning.

At break Of dawn, behold! the earth
is transligured. The bleak hills and
meadows of yesterday have vanished,
lost. it would seem, beyond recovery.
Our W possessions seem strange and
unfamiliar to'us, and we can scarce
locate the familiar boundaries of the
home lot.
stWe look upon q world unknown,
On nothing We c in cal our OWN. .
No cloud above, no earth below,
A universe OF sky IN snow"
The gentle rain falling from heaven
alike upon the just and the unjust is
tho accepted figure Of mercy; but the
celestial snow, the white winged rain,
is it not even'a more fitting symbolic
1t falls like o universal benson upon
the desolated landscape. 1t comes
like the welcome kiss oil motherhood
to the dumb, cold face of nature. and
its tender touch is the caress OF kind
ness and beneficence. The deepest
FOOT gives thanks; the dormant dwell
ers in nest or burrow are dimly con
scious. perhaps, of the soft down-like
covering; and tho quickened eavth
sends up its graceful emblems beneath
the snow ilakes-their minnie starry
flower, the chickweed, fuller and more
perfect now than summer sun has
aver seen. Yonder in the woods the
dropping hemlocks. with out-stretched
arms. and clad in their celestial vest.
ments. seem to muster like venerable
priests at some baptismal ceremony.
How this clear, purged atmosphere
sharpens the sight and opens up the
horizon, as the merciful snow s,nooths
away all former inyiduous distinc-
tons, and confounds our arbitrary
Judgements! In these white fields
you shall not know poverty from af-
%lucncc. worldly distinction from OBJ
scnre humility. The princnlY park
and the plebeian potato patch are
one; their artificial barrier is blottcd
out in this universal baptism of bencti.
