A Critical Moment.

Sir Edward Malet's' Shifting Scenes
carries the reader to Egypt at stirring
time in the history of tue young |
khediye, and shows how courage won
the day for him. When the moment
came for the bombardment of Alex

take shelter on board an English man
of-war; saying that his lot lay with
his people.
He was khedive in nothing but name.
the whole power having passed into
the hands of the rebels, and his chances
of escape were hardly greater than
those of a martyr in Roman arena
before the wild beasts were uncaged.
They did not send wild beasts TO tear
him, but they did send a captain ana
his company with orders to dlspatch
him. The wit and presence OF nina
of the khedive changed what was III

the revolution into a comedy.

that he had given orders that they
should at once be conductd to his

was employed as a carpenter and
laborer. At the solicitation Of an
attorney, who had become impressed
with his intelligence, earnestness,
industry and exceedingly high moral
character, Mr.. Pyle began to study
the profession nights in the lawyers
Office. After his admission to the
bar Mr. Pyle remained in practice

OF his business compelled him to

ment a lie. Tillman then jumped
over seats and struck his colleague

followed which was stopped only by
the interference of other senators
and the sergeant at arms. The sen
ate went into executive session and
the two members were suspended.
