A THREAT.
The Africans Propose to Turn tine Nile
from Its Course.

The Africans Propose to Turn tho Nile
from Its Course.
The warlike Soudanese, who have
so stoutly resisted the introduction of
civilization into their land, are now
found, according to Sir Samuel Baker,
TO be masters of the situation to a de
gree for which even the fall of Khar-
toum has not prepared the outside
world. They hold the key of the Nile,
and prudent and thoughtful men who
know the geography of the Soudan
and the resources and recklessnesS of
tho natives believe that that they are
capable of turning that great river out
OF its present our and bringing ire
trievable ruin upon Egypt. 1t appears
that in the inaccessible Businesses of
the desert, where the bayonets of
Europe cannot reach, there is a spot
where even savage African engineer
ing will suffice to find the Nile q short
cut to the sea, and they have already
threatened their enemies with this dis
aSter.
If the work is done u fertile land
nearly equal in extent to the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan
Will be changed into a desert and a
population of millions will be blotted
out of a country that is the oldest in
history. No such gigantic menace has
ever before been held out in the annals
of the world, and never before has it
been so possible that a grave threat
would be fatally carried out.
1t is a figure of speech when we
talk about the nations changing the
map of Europe; the wild spearsmen of
the Soudan have it in the hollow of
their hands to alter in fact and deed
the map of Africa. They can, if they
please, we are told, spread the Sahara
like a great yellow pail fully across
the continent from sea to sea. They
can build a rampant of sand
against progress that progress cal
not cross. Such tremendous power,
such Il mischievous possibility,
gives an interest to the Egyptian prob
lem Shat brings it home to every
nation. The pyramids have stood
since the morning of time; empires
and dynasties have risen and have
fallen, and they have not been stirred.
Yet the ignorant savages in the desert
are their masters and can bring the
sand upon them to bury them as the
temple of Jupiter Ammon and the
Sphinx itself We're buried. If the
savage wills the sacrifice, a flood as
fatal as that in which Pharaoh
persisted can sweep Egypt out of exis-
tence, slowly, perhaps, but surely. 1t
Is the land of tombs and memories, the
worlds graveyard; perhaps it is timc
that it should be inferred itself. Civil
lisctiOn waits upon the Soudancse. 1t

Cen. sheridan and King wnliag i.

Not far from Mars la Tom
aIighted, and in a little while an N.
dc-camp was introduced, who H.
formed me that he was there TO co:
duct and present me to his ElajcatT.
the king Of Prussia. AS we U,cr,
walking along together l inquired
whether at the meeting | should ~
move my cap, and he said no, that in
al out of door presentation it was not
etiquette to uncover, if in uniform.
We we're soon in presence of the king,
whcre-under the shade of a clump Cf
second growth poplar trees, with which
nearly all the farms in the north Of
France are here and there dotted-thc
presentation was made in the simplest
and most agreeable manner.
His majesty, taking my hand in
both of his, gave me q thorough wei
come, expressing, like Count Bis
much interest as to the sentiment in
my own country about the war. Atthis
time William | of Prussia was 70 years
of age, and, dressed in the uniform of
the guards, he seemed to be the very
ideal soldier, and graced with most
gentle and courteous manners. The
conversation, which was brief, as moi
Their Of us spoke the others native
tongue, concluded by his majesty's re
questing me, in the most cordial way,
to accompany his headquarters during
the campaign, Thanking him for his
kindness, l rejoined Count Bismarck'a
party, and our horses having arrived
meantime, we mounted and moved off
to the position selected for the king to
witness the opening of the battle

The Origin of Names.

Many explanations have been given
of the origin of the present ugly name
of Rotten Row." the fashionable drive
in Hyde park, but this is the most
likely one it was once the Route de
Roi. So of Charing Cross, where u
fine monument stands with too little
space about it to see lit advantage. 1t
was erected, so it is said, to Queen
Eleanor, and she was known as Chere
Reine-hence Charing Gross. -''M. P"

The country through which most of
the canal must run is a forest of jungle
50 thick with underbrush that the ma
tive cannot penetrate it without first
cutting out his path with ak and
machete. The climate of the isthmus
is very unhealthy, and the deadly
Chagres fever kills one attacked
in t~hirty-six hours. Those towns
which have been built expressly.
for the large numbers of laborers arc
composed of small frame houses, but
their location is too close to the inn
rcnse excavations to be healthy.
There is no sight more oppressive than
the dead stiffness during a heavy rain
on the line. The reddish yellow.
soapy soil is so slippery that n cen
scarcely stand on an incline, and on
this surface the water runs to the bot
tom, where the excess is carried off TO
lower levels, but the most of it forms
in stagnant pools at the bottom.
The high paid superintendent have
very comfortable dwellings, and they
enjoy n very easy life, but the coudi-
ton of the wretched laboreri is terrible.
From living in the hot fever vapors,
exposed TO wet and dry weather, and
breathing IN air vitiated by contact
with a newly turned soil, their com
pleXions have become a yellow and
transparent parchment, as seen in tho
last stages of consumption; but the
necessarily high wages induce them to
continue. well knowing they are Civ
ing up life for gold, until the cora-
monest isthmus sight is seen, i. c., the
laborer laid out on his bier in front Of
his wretched shanty, with two candles
at his fee t.-Panama Cor, New York

Deviation in ARTILLERY Firing.

When the great gun which has thrown

be taken into account for the difference in
rotating speed between thu spot where it
is fired and the spot where the missile

That Highway of Nations,

The broad Atlantic is ever stormy thorough
fare. Yet blow the winds ever so iiercely, and
ride the waves ever so loftily, seamen must man
the good ships, tourists viii brave the passage,
and commercial travellers and buyers must visit
the centres of foreign trade and manufacture.
That atrocious malady, seasickness, together
with cocky pains and much inward uneasiness,
is often endured when Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers would have fortified the voyagers against
them. Sea captains, and in fact all old salts and
veteran travellers are acquainted with the pro-
tective value of this estimabe preventive and
remedy. and are rarely provided with it. Emf
grants to the far West should use it as afe-
guard against malaria. Seek the aid OF the Bit
tiers for dyspepsia, constipation, liver complaint,
kidney troubles, and all ailments that impair the
harmonious and vigorous action Of the vital pow
ers.
