A SHORTAGE OF RAIN.

Two Feel of Water Ke<|iitrr(t to Make I p the Annual Average Fall. Most people understand that wt have been lacking in rain full for the past year or two and that the ground is very dry. While they know the above facts they do not fully reali/e the enormous shortage in rains. It wotdd take two solid feet of water all over Indiana to make up the shortage since Jan. 1st, W.Kl. Just think of that enormous quantity of water, a lake all over Indiana two feet deep. 'The average yearly rain fall for Indianapolis is 39.84 inches, and for the entire state of Indiana is 44.211 inches. During 189:1 the shortage was <">.22 inches. During 1894 t!>e shortage was l:t.7l inches, and for the first three mouths of '9r> it was 5.23 inches, or a total of 24.54 inches. This month there has been no great amount of rain full, not up to tlie average for the month of April. The last rains we have had to amount to much were in April, 1893, during whieii time 8.60 inches fell. Since then i\e have had no general rain, but only local showers. The ground, however, is in mob a condition thit it brings fairly good crops even with this shortage in moisture. We do not kno v, however, how long it will keep up. The lack of rain has caused the drying up of a large number of wells throughout the

Mr. Foreman, of Winchester, Ky., heard some of the recitations of the different classes last Wednesday. He was principal of the high school at Winchester and is studying the methods used in the various school systems. Each grade of the three wards was visited by him and he was much interested in our splendid school organization. Mrs. Fraley, of this city, has made arrangements to form classes in elocution among the pupils. She promises that the work will he interesting to those who engage in it, and her charges are certainly very

reasonable.

Mr. C. R. Gillespie, a student of Indianapolis, lias been in town for the last three or four days, writing cards for the members of the grad- ; uating class. He came to this; place from Brazil where he did i work lor the senior class in the | high school of that place. He has been well patronized. The picnic question is up again and will remain that way until the picnic conies olf. The teachers have decided that a pupil can’t recite well and want to go to a picnic at the same time, so the school will go to Fern on the “first pretty day.” The seniors have laid plans to play base hall all day. They expect to pay the middles hack for the defeat they received at their hands and to show the juniors base hall “as she

is played.”

The seniors are finishing up their three years’ work with a rush. There are but two whole weeks of recitation before them. The third will he taken up by examinations and such recitations that will he necessary to complete the work in all the branches. The two weeks before commencement will he given to them for recuperation from their hard study. Class day comes cn the Friday two weeks before commencement. The program has not been definitely arranged, but it will he good, to say the least. It is evident that the rule prohibiting match games of base bail has not changed things very much. Although the boys did not go to Bainbridge, they have putin a good deal more time in class games than it would have required to go to Bainbridge. They have occupied the campus every afternoon until the college cadets run them off. Last Thursday the}’ interrupted a very interesting game between two of the classes. The score was 14 to 14, the game was not finished, and each side claims the victory. Mr and Mrs. McCorkle have the very best good wishes of the senior class, of which Mrs. McCorkle was a member last year. The class were sorry to lose her. hut were aware of their inability to run things to suit themselves and so gave up. ’Tis said that some of the young gentlemen of the class submitted only after a severe struggle, hut they have decided that they are really “cut out” and join the others in their congratulations.

XI.—Conquest of Egypt.

Bonaparte returned to Paris on the 6th of December, 1797. llis coining was heralded. Thu democratic Directory must receive him in the name of the people; but tho act of hero-worship was embarrassing. The people of Paris must have a spectacle; and tho Jacobin administration must glorify tho hero of

Italy. Arrangements were made at the the Institute. Ho would disseuiinati

riis vision nasned over tne rmropean landscape like a gleam of light. At twenty-eight ho had already discerned that the bust way to afflict Great Britain was by destroying her influence in the East. Out of this notion sprang his project of conquering Egypt. Beyond Egypt lay all Asia. “Europe,” said he, “is a molehill. There have never been great empires and revolutions except in tlie East, where there are 1500,000,000 | men.” The Directory readily assented I to his wishes. It is in evidence that that | body was )«or< than willing to have the 1 ambitious commander out of Europe. On tho 12th of April, 17!)S, Napoleon i was appoint' d General-in-Chief of the ; Army of the East. Virtually he was to j go where ho would, and accomplish what ho coul 1.

Luxembourg Palace for a reception— first of many such—to tho child of the Republic. Tho court of the palace was splendidly decorated; and tho olite gathered for tho welcome. Tho occasion was not without its peril to Napoleon. Ho must bear himself like a true democrat—beginning to be idolized. Symbolical statues of Liberty, Equality, and Peace wore set up in the hall where hung the memorial banner commemorating the victories and spoils of the Italian campaign. There, too, was placed an altar of the Fatherland. Beautiful women thronged the galleries. The Directory sat to receive the conqueror. Talleyrand introduced the young general to the assembly. The statesman’s speech was long, flattering and casuistical. To one paragraph was added this significant clause: “Far from apprehending anything from his [Napoleon’s] ambition, I believe that we shall one day be obliged to solicit him to tear himself from the pleasures of studious retirement. All France will bo free; but perhaps he never will; such is his destiny.” Barras, president of the Directory, also spoke. Napoleon bore himself with groat modesty, pronouncing a brief speech of congratulations on the improved condition of France. Tho reference to ‘‘studious retirement” in Talleyrand’s address was not bad. It was an allusion to Bonaparte’s election to membership in the National

BATTLE OF THE PYRAMIDS. Institute of France. This was an honor of which he was very proud. In accepting tho distinction, he said, referring to the members of tho Institute, ‘‘I feel assured that before 1 can bo their equal I must long be their scholar. True conquests—the only ones which loavo no regret behind them—aro those which are made over ignorance. The most honorable occupation for nations is the contributing to tho extension of human knowledge. Tho true power of the French Republic should henceforth be made to consist in not allowing a single new idea to exist without making it a part of its property. ” For some time after this, Napoleon was wont to sign himself, Member of the National Insti-

tute.

Such ceremonies as those attending his reception in Baris were always regarded by Bonaparto as so much mummery—quite necessary in tho make-up of glory; but very cheap. Not a mouth elapsed before the General became restless to a degree. To Bourrienne, his secretary, he said: ‘‘Bourrienne, I do not wish to remain here; there is nothing to do. They [tho Directory) are unwilling to listen to anything. I see that if I linger here, I shall soon lose myself. Everything wears out here; my glory has already disappeared. This little Europe does not supply enough of it for me. I must seek it in tho East, the fountain of glory. However, I wish first to make a tour along the coast, to ascertain by my own observation what may bo attempted. I will take you, Launes, and Sulkowsky with 1110. If tlie success of a descent on England appear doubtful, .as I suspect it will, the Army of England shall become tho Army of the East; I will go to Egypt.” Bonaparte was now made commander of tho new army, which was alleged to bo intended for an invasion of England. On tho whole, it seems that ho never seriously contemplated a descent on tlie English coast. Ho was too prudent for that. But he lout himself to the popu- ; lar whim, and made as though bo would invade tho British Isles. Tho Directory, meanwhile, gave him no ordors. It had already come to pass that ho did iimn'h as lie pleased. U11 tho lOt’n of February, 1798, ho set out from Paris with his secretary, his aido Sulkowsky, and General Lanucs. Ho wont to i Etaples, Ambletouse, Boulogne, Calais, Dunkirk, Fumes, Niewport.Ostend, and ' tho Isle of Walchereu; ami then roturu- , ed to Paris by Antwerp, Brussels, Lille, and St. Quentin. Everywhere on tho journey ho showed the greatest activity and discernment. His glance shot into every situation. Ho informed himself of tho conditions existing along tho coast, hut did not prosecute tho scheme of invasion. Tlie superiority of Napoleon over the men of his epoch lay in his far-reaching | *»azo and couinreheusiou of great things.

civilization of tho West in the eff ete Orient. En route, ho would conquer Malta, still nominally under the dominion of tho Knights. That done, he would debark at Alexandria, oven brow tho dominion of tho Mameluke Boys, and conquer and colonize the land of the Pharaohs. Admiral Brneya was called to tho command of the fleet. Napoleon ordered his equipage to bo prepared as for a conqueror, a governor, a man of

lutters.

Tho Egyptian expedition sailed from Toulon on tho 19th of May. Tho General’s ship was tlie Orient. On the 10th of June, the squadron came to Malta, and that place, with its strong defenses, was—partly by intrigue and partly by assault—taken from the Knights. Tho French flag was raised over tho fortress, and many of tho Knights joined tho expedition. Meanwhile, an English fleet, under command of Nelson, passed tho French flotilla without discovering it; sailed on to Alexandria; paused there, and then turned to the northeast, believing that Brueys had made for the

coast of Syria.

All this inured to the advantage of tho French. Napoleon was able to reach Alexandria without attack. On tho 1st of July the column of Septimus Soverus, rising in the distance, caught the sight of tho French commander, and gave token of a safe arrival. The army was hastily debarked; but not sufficient care was taken to put the French fleet in a defensible position. Without a moment’s delay, tlie city was assailed by the invader, and after some desultory fighting was captured. The conqueror of Italy easily made himself master of the city which Alexander had founded

as the capital of tho world.

But all Egypt was not to be so easily taken. Bonaparte proclaimed his mission as that of liberator and pacificator. The Turks and Mamelukes should be expelled; but the people of Egypt should otherwise have peace. The nation should bo raised from tho dust. New institutions should be founded; but the old institutions, and in particular the Mohammedau religion, should be respected. “Extend to the ceremonies prescribed by the Koran,” said the General to his soldiers, “and to the mosques the same toleration which you have shown to tho synagogues—to tho religion of

Moses and of Jesus Christ. ”

For six days Bonaparte had his headquarters in Alexandria. Ho then removed to tho house of the sheik of Damanhour, and there organized his expedition up tho Nile. A flotilla was ordered to ascend the river, while the army marched up the loft bank. By a strong yind from the north the boats were driven ahead, and tho land forces were obliged to advance without naval support. On the 14th of July, the Mamelukes, who, falling back from Alexandria, had been organized into an army under Murad Bey, made a stand at the village of Chebreisse, and were forced from that position by the French; but the nctiou was not decisive. Meanwhile, the flotilla was assailed by the enemy from both banks of the Nile. Tlie Mamelukes mounted small cannon on camels, and inflicted not a little hiss on the Europeans. The French boats, separated from tho army, were galled by these attacks. On tho 23rd of July, a junction was effected, but not until a great battle had decided tho campaign. Tho conflict occurred on tho plain within si«ht of the pyramids of Gizeh. It was perhaps the most picturesque battle of modern times. Tho French army was drawn up in squares, on the Egyptian sands. Tho artillery was planted at tho angles of tho squares. Tho commanders were Generals Desaix, Kleber, Berthier, and Menou—under tho eye of tho General-in-chief. Tho plains round about were covered with heavy masses of Mameluke horsemen. Bonaparte addressed his soldiers after his manner, in a sort of Pindaric apostrophe. Ho called their attention to tho setting of the scene, and reminded them that from the summit of Khufu’s pyramid forty ccnturl-. s were looking down upon Ho in. Tho battle was bloody and decisive. The Mamelukes were overwhelmed by thousands. Tho officers on tho French flotilla, descending the river on tho next day, saw on the bank literal heaps of tho Mameluke dead which tho rising Nile was gathering and bearing out to sea. Murad Bey tied to Upper Egypt, ainl the French entered Cairo. Four days after the battle of the Pyramids, Napoleon wrote to his brother Joseph, saying, ‘‘Egypt is rich* r than any other country in the world in corn, rice, vegetables and cattle. But the people aro in a state of utter barbarism. Wo can not procure money, even to pay tlie i troops. / may be in France in two months. Engage for mo a country-house near Paris or in Burgundy, where I mean to pass the winter.” To this was added a list of things necessary to bo

sent out from France.

Tho purpose of the General to return to France, but to leave an army of occupation in Egypt, is sufficiently shown in these orders, in which the comedy of war is grotesquely figured on the back-

ground of statesmanship. John Clark Ridpath.
