"PHIL" ARMOUR, the famous pork
packer of Chicago, was once miner
near Folsom, California. After months
of toll in placers, he accumulated dust
enough to be worth $1O0, and had his
treasure in an old copper pot. One of
his partners, not knowing the contents
of the receptacle, flung it into a fire one
day. Something of panic ensued
when Mr.. Armour discovered what had
been done, and revealed his interest in
dingy, dilapidated vessel. But his gold
was recovered at last, none the worse
for the ordeal to which it had been sub
jected, and thereafter he used new
place of deposit for his wealth.

BRIEF AND STRIKINGST0
Some are Funny and Some are Not.
EGYPTIAN HABITS.

EGYPTIAN HABITS.
Saturday Evening Post.
The ordinary inhabitant of the towns
passes his life in simple and uniform
manner. Before sunrise he leaves his
couch, performs the morning ablutions
enjoined by his religion, and repeats his
early prayer.
To say his first morning prayer after
sunrise is forbidden by the ordinances
of his religion, and to allow the sun to
rise over ones slumbering head is re-
garded as prejudieial TO health.
He then drinks his cup of coffee and
smokes his pipe, either at home or in the
public coffee house. His break fast, which
he taks after the coffee, OF sometimes
before it, consists of the remains OF the
meal of the night before, or of cakes
and milk, or for trifle he procures from
the market the ever-ready national dish
of stewed beans.
He then begins his avocation, buys,
in the most comfortable, quiet, and de-
liberate manner. "What is not done to-
day must be done tomorrow, if God
pleases," stands written on his forehead
in large letters.
The Egyptian mechanic cannot be
said to be famous for anything. The
things in which they used to excel are
rapidly being forgotten. The fine ma
sonry of the older mosques would be
thrown away on the architectural tastes
of the present day, and hence the race
of skillful masons is becoming extinct.
The colored glass which used to be
made in great perfection for windows
and lamps is the product of forgotten
art. and most of the glass and china used
in Egypt are imported from Europe.
The same fate has come to the turn
ers, who used to make the beautiful lat
tice window screens; people now prefer
glass, and lattices being no longer re-
quired, turner's are forgetting how to
make them.
The potters do a good trade in un-
glazed porous vessels for cooling water,
and the palm furnishes occupation to
many hands.
Egypt is no longer famous for fine
linen; its cotton and wooden stutfs are
coarse and its silk of poor quality.
The tanners, however, have not for
gotten their cunning in curing morocco
leather, and the love of ornament, ex-
tending beyond slippers, supports gold
smiths in the small towns.

BLAINE'S DESTINY.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The desire of Blalne's nomination at
Minneapolis is growing in strength day
by day simultaneously with the increase
of probability that it will be gratifed.
His mental qualifications are such as to
leave no room for competitors. He
stands out as Colossus among the other
American statesmen of to-day. But
while his immense superiority over all
lis rivals in craftsmanship and magnet
ism would render his nomination an
absolutely foregone conclusion, the state
of his health has hitherto made doubtful
the advisabiIity of subjecting him to the
stress of a Presidential campaign and
the strain of term in the Executive
Mansion.
Since James G. Blaine wrote his
famous letter to Clarkson his strength
has been marvelously improved. He
has shown a marked increase of physical
strength in matters which, though they
are trivial in themselves, indicate when
taken as whole that his pristine vigor
has returned. That there is no man
who can command the same measure of
support as Blaine in a Presidential
candidacy is an incontrovertible fact
The Republican party can nom. n lte no
ma son certain of success, and his nom
ination is an assured fact, if only it can
be shown that he feels prepared to ac-
cept the ardous work that it would
mean for him. His silence since he
wrote his letter in February, and the
general feeling that he will maintain it
until the convention meets, is in itself
an indication that he has regained con-
tidence in his powers of endurance.
His nomination would mean certain
success for his party, and for the pro-
lection and enlargement of home in
industries, which he has done more to
further than any other man. The nom-
ination of anyone else would involve the
party in struggle of which the results
would be most doubtful. If Blaine's
health will stand it, he will be nominated
with the utmost enthusiasm, and there
is little or no doubt that his strength of
body will be equal to the demand upon
it.

WARFARE AGAINST THE VETERANS.

WARFARE AGAlNSI IfE NElEhANo'
sSsyYork Mail and Express.
Some of the Union veterans are or
ganizing for political purposes. 1t is
high time for them te do so. 1t is as
plain as day that if the Democratic
party comes into control of the Federal
Administration, one of the first things
it will do, after enacting a free and
fraudulent silver law, will be to strike
at the pension system and thus at the
Union veterans. On Saturday of last
week, during the discussion of the
Sundry Civil bill in Congress, a rebel
General from Alabama, Mr.. Fn-Iey,
proposed that the pension of each in
mate of the Soldi"-s' Home in excess of
: So a slonJn should be withheld and ap-
piled by the managers to the support of
the Home. During the discussion Con-
gressman Snodgrass, of Tennessee, de-
clared that the roll of pensioners is "a
roll of dishonor," and Congressman
Bland, of Missouri, demanded the repeal
of the Dependent Pension act. Cheese
parer Holman and lis ex-rebel associates
then proceeded to cut down the appro-
priation for the payment of adjusted
and certified claims of soldiers and the
widows and orphans of soldiers over
$750,000 Bear in mind that this ap-
preparation is simply introduced to pay
the Just claims of the veterans of the
war, their widows or children, who have
been waiting thirty years to have the
debt acknowledged. Union veterans
can expect no fayors from Democratic
Administration conducted by the men
who kindled the fierce fires of secession.
