The DISTRICT NATIONAL y GUARD.

What may prove "A perfectly harmless
iunoN alton or "A serious blow at the very
existence OF the Distr!c5 National Guard
is the clause in the last District appro-
priation bill, which places the control of
tine funds intended for the support of the
Guard iu the hands of the Commissioners.

as they deviate from this line OF policy
and slight the authority of the commander-
in-chief, his usefulness is gone and SO are

organization. Under such conditions the
utter disruption OF the District Guard
would merely be matter of time, and a
very short time at that.

Besides, its members, officers and priyates

All this is III large measure the result

Improper interference would shake the
whole structure, if not destroy it alto

no division of authority. The word OF the
Commander in-ciief no matter who he may
be. should be the determining factor in all

prove all vouchers will work no harm.
II, however, they go in the opposite di-
recticn, it is to be feared that the District

London Truth.
While We stayed at Murat Wells my
conpaniuDs and yself received many kind
IL attentions from the courteous and hos
pitable Ababdeii sheiks. They supplied us,
among other things, with the most de-
licious mutton, which was not what one
would expect to find in the hear: OF this
desert, where not blade uf grass grows.
l was told that the Arabs procure these
sheep OH the Red sea Coast, and drive
them up 10 Murat from Helaib. a distance
of 260 miles as the crow flies.
While tn liking over various routes with
the Ababdeh we realized how intimate Is
their knowledge OF the desert. Their jour
neys are by no means Confined to those
regular tracks, radiating from Aurat,

can engage guides at Murat who will take

mention Oh the Red sea shore or on the
Nile bank. They know every well and pool

can supply.
At the same time these guides are nO
infallibie, and occasionally they miss ths

perish of thirst. Aid el Azim told VI
that the mira ges. which are SO freqren,
are the chief cause OF these mistakes. The
landmarks by which the guides direct
their course become invisible. or are
distorted or unrecognizable, while some
times the ghost of some familiar rock
or trec-possibly many leagues away and
ina totally different direction-rises ont
o. the desert to draw the unfortunate
traveller to his destruction. The sheik
said that within his own memory ninety
ne bn haot Ahoh1pb trrIidaS had thttS &c,
their way and died in the desert.
These Ababdeh are most interesting
people with whom TO converse when they
become communicative. Travelling rs
they do all over the desert between the
Red Sea and the Nile. and being in con-
slant communication with their friends
in the Soudan and elsewhere. they have q
very accurate knowledge OF all that i,
going on throughout an Immense tract Of
country. An Ababdeh carries in his head
a map of a great part OF Africa, and it
is difficult to mention a place within lis
ken whose situation and distance he can
not roughly lay down.
The information Of our friends tie sheiks
extended to the Congo Free State and to

CAUTIOUS cRIricIsA.

Some Newspapers have referred with
| covert sneefs to the recent remark of
John D. Rockefeller, the Standard OIL
millionaire, that he regards himself only
as the trustee OF his vast fortune, which he
says, he owes to the favor of Providence.
and is endeavoring 10 discharge his trust
to the best of his ability. II this had been
said by any oneof a dozen other million
aires, whose names come TO mind, some
doubt as to their being entirely honest In
their expression would not have been un-
jus,ifi0ble, but in the Standard Oil mans
case ii is different. Mr.. Rockefeller's
actions are the best proof of the truth
wIthsianding his enormous wealth, have led
a perfectly simple, almost an austere, life.
Every member OF it has been active in
church work, and many OF his millions
have gone 10 the endowment OF the great
Baptist University at Chicago. II is
believed by those who ought ID be well
formed, that the bulk of Mr.. Rockefeller's
vast fortune will go in the same, or a
similar, direction after his death.
Mr. Rockefeller belongs TO a class Of
pIutocrats not in high favor generally at
this time, because or the fact that they
are n.onopoiists, but if there he anything
really reprchensible in the accumulation
of large fortunes by LIouopolizinS certain
lines of business, such use as Mr.. Rookie
Teller makes OF his can be at least accepted
as a plea in mitigation. The fact that he
has given his millions to one particular
quence, so long as he thinks that the OBJ
ject he aims at-the widest possible dis
seminaton of theological as well secu-
lar knowledge can best be accomplished
through lis agency. Neither the fact of
his being a millionaire moBopolist. nor of
having bestowed his wealth upon one re
lgious body exclusively .detracts from the
fact that it has been given in behalf of the
cause of education, aud that tie world
will ne the better for that he thus lived
and iabcred.
Though the Chicago University is Mr..
Rockefeiler's philanthropic pet scheme,
yet he has been liberal in other direc-
tions, aud SO far as human Judgment can
pass upon it, he may not improperly be
classed among those stewards VITO have
made good use of their talents.
