1.-THE FAVORED NATION
CLAUSE"

Among the recent kilograms we
find the following relative 10 DIS
ousSion about the " favored nation
clause as likely 10 Interfere with
the United States making recipro-
city treaties with Spain or ether
powers As stated in the extract,
this whole subject Of what the
favored nation clause means waS
settled ST the time Of the ratihea-
ton o. the Hawaiian treaty in 1876.
Any nation may make special reel
procity treaties with other nations
which grant valuable concessions,
IS wAs done in our case, and has
been done in many other instances
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1+-Dlspa:ehes
from London assert rhst Spain cen

with the United States for the
Cuban trade without violating the
favored nation clause " in her eX-
iSting trestieS with other nations.
Ii Is S&ii ST the Department Of State

finally decided in 1884, when Mn
ls.er Foster negotiated s recipro-
city treaty on the same basis thSt

fornly held. from The time Of Mr..

plies where privileges sire granted

pcnred not to see him until lie got
abreast of him and then drew lis

OF the kind, but sat munching away

A Bright jury,

Daniel O'Connell was at one time
defending n man accused OF murder
at Clonmel. The circumstantial evil
dence was SO strong against the
prisoner that the jury had already
determined upon their verdict OF
guilty, when the man supposed to be
murdered was brought into court,
alive and unhurt. The jury vas de-
sired to return their verdict at once,
and they did SO, but it was one OF
Guilty" "What does this mean?"

Agriculture in Egypt.

area of Egypt has been almost quad
rupled since the days of MOlElmnr,l
All, half Il century ago. Aniinmrnsr
impulse was given during the reign
ol lslnail, when the war of he Re-
bellion in this country stimulated
the cultivation of cotton in Ot her
lands; the cultivablc area of Egypt
then increased at the rate of 10000
acres IL year. Durin" the last five
years. when the English have admin

and public works, an almost equal
increase has taken place, and j, is
said that during 1883 no less than

Half Baby, Half Philosopher,

Horace Greeley bore his character
in his iace-half baby, half philoso~
pher. The sweetest child that ever
looked into its mothers eyes had
noe Il more benevolent expression
than his countenance hnbitually wore.
The worse portrait.tloes not quite
obliterate it; the best renders it i'm
perfectly. The politician who said,
"a man who would hurt Horace
Greeley would strike his own mother, :"
roughly expressed the feeling which
the child-like part of his face oft II
excited. His voice, too. WAS the pipe
ola child. But above the eyes there,
was such IL noble dome of head that
n Greek sculptor would have been
glad to take it for the model of
benevolent wisdom. His dpnranor
showed similar contrasts. From
that baby face what torrents of bad
words would come. with no NOR.
malice behind them than there is
behind child's vehement crying
when someone has broken its toy.

Tho GEORGETOWN Loop.

New York Press: The longer one STAYS
in Denver the more Denver will grow IN
favor. As summer resort, can imagine
that the Rocky mountain metropolis lacks
only fashionable sanction. There are ca
cursions from here to occupy every day Of
two months with advantage The mcrcst
mention Of them is like printing vast bill
of fare for tourists, and leave it all to the
Denver and Rio Grande and other guide
books. Itook trip yesterday over what
is known as the Georgetown 'loop" in
order to sample these mountain railroad
trips. We were four hour. climbing up the
Rockies to an altitude of9,77l feet, Denver
being $40 feet above the sea. The distance
We traversed was iitty-eight miles, yet there
or returning Rocks and peaks and crags
and mines and streams and waterfalls and
gorges and canyons and mountain villages
and quaint scenes occupied every moment
with vivid interest.
Tho so called Georgetown "loop" is q
marvel of engineering skill. The railroad,
in seeking passage up the mountains passes
around and around the valley, over its way
once by bridge, and finally finds its way
upward by the most precipitous grades
known to this region. In order to cover
distance of one and threc-eights miles.
''as the crow fies," the circuitous road
measures three and one-l,alf miles Of track.
This is q fair example of what engineering
genius has accomplished in this region.
