MiIdred'S Prayars.

Little Mildred, a sweet, golden
haired "tot" of six, had been taught
to say, Thank God for a good break-
fast' or dinner or supper, as the case
might be, after a meal.
The other morning her parents, for
good and sufficient reasons, restricted
her to oatmeal for breakfast. When
she had finished she clasped her little
hands and began, Thank God for
Then the raspberries aud the ham
and eggs and various other appetizing
things that she had not been allowed
TO partake of attracted her attention.
She paused for a moment, and then
letting her hands fall to her side,
while look OF deep detection over.
Swallowed her pretty face, she said:
"Oh, God, Use only had oatmeal for
breakfast this morning. Amen"
Her mother, like most good and
devOut mothers, had taught her that
if she wants anything and is a good
girl and prays for it she will be sure
to get 1t. The other night she over.

pede.
"'Cause you know, God" added
the child, in conclusion, Use been a
good girl, and mama told me that il
1 was a good girl and asked you for
anything you would let me have it..
Amen"
Now the mother is much perplexed
because she doesn't want Mildred to
have a velocipede and at the same
time she doesn't want to shake her
childish faith in the efficacy OF
prayer.

A MOUNTAIN OF PURE SIL1CATEs,-A min
eral discovery of unusual value is reported
from Komouraske, in Lower Canada. AQue-
bee correspondent states that an entire noun
tain has been found composed Of silicates,
otherwise known as vitriiable stone, of a
purity certified by the Provincial Engineer
to average SO per cent. This material is
used for the manufacture of the finest glass,
and is believed to exist nowhere else on the
American continent in such purity. The Pro-
vincial Government has been asked by a de-
putation to guarantee 4 per cent, interest for
ten years on 10000 if a local company sub
scribes that amount to d~evelope the new indus
try, and has promised to consider the request
if the principal municipality concerned is
prepared to take a fair share Of the risk.-Ibid.

and either persuaded or compelled the fac
tons to agree to an armistice. The President
has declared the majority in Congress rebels,
and has summoned a new Congresses totally
illegal proceeding-but there can be no re-
dress unless he is driven from Santiago. It
is difficult to understand upon what forca
President Balmaceda relies, but he must have
part of the population behind him, and he ia
evidently prepared to go all lengths. The in
surgents now call themselves Parliamentari-
ans, but they are not Liberals in the modern
sense, their idea of a representative body
being one in which a few combined families
have a decided ascendency. Nobody as yet
tells us the precise charges against President
Balmaceda, though vague aoousations.O of cor
ruption begin to appear. The Chilians fight
so well-as they showed in Peru-that un-
less the instruction ends speedily, the sur
ering of Chill will be very great.

The Khedive has overIiGden the native
Ministry, and issu ed a decree sanctioning the
reforms proposed by the judicial Commits
sion, and especially the appointment of an
English Judge to supervise the native tri-
bunals and the management of the Police.
Egyptians generally are said to be pleased,
and most foreigners are delighted but the
Partisan newspapers are furious, and call
upon the Government to resist the Eng
lsh annexation of the administrative ma
chine. The French Government has ac-
cordingly instructed its representative,
Colonel d'Aubigny, to demonstrate with the
Khedive, and has withdrawn it's consent to
the application of part of the surplus reve-
nue., now quite $500, 900, to the abolition of
the corUee and other reforms. NJ. Ribot, in
fact, not being able to reach the English,
Kicks the Egyptian fellaheen to show that
he is angry. The outbreak is purely one of
spite, as the French do not even pretend that
the changes authorised are not improvements,
and the matter, by their own showing, is one
for the Khedive alone. The annoyance is,
however, great, and in their retaliatory mea-
sure the French are entirely within their legal
right. They probably want some concession
in Tunis or Madagascar.

the ablest officer engaged in the Civil War,
he was far the most original, surprising even
General Grant in the audacity of his plans,
and the success with which, in fulfilling them,
he used huge masses of men. His 'march
into space with 100000 men, the march
from the interior to the South Eastern sea-
board which turned the South inside-out
and practically ended the war, was SO bril-
liant conception that Europe at first pro-
nounoed it a folly. Shortly after the oon-
clusiOn of the war, a letter was shown us in
which General Sherman remarked that the
only journal which had accurately OWNED
the object of hat march was the London
Spectator, and asked the name of the writer
of the articles upon the subject. 1t was the
late MIR. George Hooper, the Military his
torian, who took a profound interest in the
'only peoples war ever waged in regular
fashion" and brought to it's study not only
his wide knowledge of campaigns, but his
singular grasp of military topography on the
great scale. So far as we know, there is no
civilian writer now left who possesses any
thing like his insight into the motive of the
complex combinations rendered needful by
the huge scale of modern war.

Osman Digna, the Mahdi's Iieutenant ON
the s~ea-coast of the Soudan, has suffered a
total defeat. He had given from Tokar so.
much annoyance to Suakim, that Colonel
Holled Smith resolved to dislodge him. On.
the 10Th inst, accordingly, three battalions
of infantry and q squadron of cavalry, all
Egyptians and Nubians under English COM
mand, moved to To ar through the bush, ami,
being too quick far the dervishes, seized
some ruins III Tokar, a village in the little
oasis of that name. Osman Digna, with four
thousand men, attacked them there but only
two thousand were actually engaged, the
rest, with their chief, remaining in reserve.
The Arabs charged with their usual splendid
courage, and once, it is clear from the tele-
grams to the Times, completely surrounded
the Egyptians, who, however, sustained g
hand to hand encounter with a stubbornnesa
most creditable to their discipline. After an
hour and q half Of close fighting, the heavy
FIRE of the Egyptians prevailed, and the
Arabs fed, leaving more than a third of their
number-seven hundred men-on the plain.
The two thousand in reserve, seeing the de-
feat, dispersed and Osman Digna, with only
a few mounted followers, fed, intending, it 10
believed, to reach Kassala. Tokar will be-
retained, apparently because it can feed 9
strong dervish force; but Sir J. Ferguson
assured the House of Commons on Monday
that the troops would advance no farther.
The attack seems to nave been unavoida-
BILE, and certainly was not desired in Eng
land.
