Tho Lackey Zouaves of Chicago challenged the world at Indianapolis and got licked by a company from ah obscure town called St. Louis. On arrival at home the Zouaves will probably be escorted from the depot in the Black Maria. The laws are very strict there against the betrayers of great municipal trusts.

Mrs. KeziahLaw, otDixon, Ills., had a little celebration of her own on the 4th. It was the 100 anniversary of her birth. She maintains her mental and physical faculties to a wonderful degree. It is even stated she has the nerve to read tho Chicago dailies every morning. Her husband took part in tho Irish revolution of '08.

It is now possible to hope that the first reports of the collision on the Ohio wero much exaggerated and that the loss of life will be comparatively small. We fail to see, however, what business 500 people had on board of a craft that could sink in fifteen feet of water and have nothing to show but her pilot house. Somebody was evidently making a point on excursion rates.

The recent wholesale steal of Obey E. Owen, the St. Louis bank cashier, has turned tho thoughts of that community in the channel of a'dopting some means to check a repetition of the theft. Sentiment is divided. One prominent banker has acknowledged that he believes it impossible to prevent these frauds if the clerk is disposed to indulge his cunning. Another gentleman, however, not only thinks differently, but ventures to propose a remedy. lie said to a reporter:

The Idea of telling mo that it is impossible to prevent a bank clerk from stealing! Now, I am not a bank cashier myself, but I have been connected with my own bank for a number of years. I don't know that we have any special system of watching our men, but I do know that wo have nover lost a cent by adlshonest clerk or other employe. Still.it is quite possible that somo one may be playing the same game on us that Owen worked so Ions and successfully at tho Third National. I have thought of a plan which, if put into general operation, will servo as a check upon dishonesty in banks. It is the plan now followed in tho city treasury. It is very simple and has to recommend it that it has been successful. You know that when a man, say from tho collector's office, brings a deposit to the city treasury, the teller there gives him three receipts. One of these ho keeps himself, one Is left with the city auditor, and the other is deposited in tho Comptroller's office. So that the record of the daily receipts at the City Treasury is kept in three offices at once. Now, it would bo a very easy matter for the receiving teller of every bank In town to give to each depositor a triplicate receipt, one to be kept by the depositor himself, ono to be filed with the cashler-and the other to be laid before the President and Board of Directors at their dally meetings.

There is a good deal of horse sense in the above remedy which will at once suggest itself to the practical banker, and to the practical depositor who has liia dollars at stake. Let it be tried.

Si

THE EASTEEIT QUESTION, Certain parties are now making a combined effort all along the line to magnify Arabi Pasha into the proportions of a hero. "No land on earth," shouts one of Arabi'8 admirers, "has been, more cruelly victimized for foreign interference than Egypt, and Arabi Pasha seems to be trying to rid her of burdens and outside influences such as no American State would rest under when it could by any meanB throw them off.* For years past the Government of Egypt has been run by rings of foreign jobbers, who led the Khedive into all sorts of extravagances, they furnishing the money on their own terms, stealing it back in contracts, and lending it again, till the public debt amounted to $500,000,000, and the crops of the poor tillers of the soil were all confiscated to pay the interest and the expenses of the Government. It is said that 2,000 Europeans are now holding office under the Egyptian Government that their average pay is that of a Bengal civilian who rules over a conquered province, and that their sole aim is to promote the financial schemes of various concerns. When the crop of tho

Egyptian peasant's little patch is harvested, he must pay his taxes or sell it to the agent of tho Credit Fancier or the Bank of Egypt, and he is bastinadoed and jailed until he pays by sacrificing his crop for money borrowed at an interest of four per cent, a month. In view of such facts, the popular support of Arabi Pasha and the outbreaks that have recently driven 70,000 foreigners out of Egypt, are not such very stiange happenings as to be impossible in even a Christian country." There is not much room for this gush, for the simple reason that all the Egyptians ^demand of a popular hero is the cheek to lead them into a scheme of repudiation. It is the same' every, where to some extent, for it alwaysde volves on men of consequence in community to keep its honor from be ing wrecked by a pack of irresponsible mudsills-who want to settle up for onp cent on the dollar. No doubt there is logic enough in the wave of popular indignation on which Arabi is riding now, over the systematic fleecing resorted to by the hungry Khedive against the poor peasant when his notes become due and creditors are bawling at his door for their money. But to attempt to rule put an honest creditor and to justify a repudiation movement on these grounds is preposterous. There may bo serious objection to collecting money at the muzzle of a Krupp gun, but the

Apostle of Repudiation is not much less of a national curse. Wipe out a few Khedives and there will be no debt to wipe out. Lay the ax at the root of the tree.

A dispatch to the New York World from Lima, Peru, states that Minister Hulrbut's successor, Mr. Partridge arrived there on tho 9th ultimo and has apparently determined to remain quietly in Lima for Home little time at least, and to carefully acquaint him self with the true state of affairs, con versing with prominent Peruvians and hearing all manner of opinions.

If our new Minister has been indiscreet enough to start a "conversazione' among the ubiquitous Peruvian politicians, our envoy will tako wings with greater haste than does his feathered namesake in this neck o' the woods before the devastating shot-gun.

The dispatch furnishes tho soothing intelligence that Mr. Partridgo will soon discover also that complete harmony exists In the Peruvian ranks so far as the popular submission and adherence to the Provisional Government, now presided over by Admiral Montero Is concerned. With the departure of Don Nicolas do Pierola for Europe dissension disappeared, and the last weary stragglers under his banners forsook their allegiance at Ayacucho and entered the files of Caceres—who, on his part, laying all private ambition on one side, proclaims Montero as the constitutional chief tho nation.

The "complete harmony" alluded to can have come only from complete exhaustion, for so long as the Peru vian is strong enough to roll his cigarette he is equally capable of getting up a revolution—and usually does it.

The fact is that nothing need ever be hoped for from Peru until the present efl'ete and listless inhabitants arc supplanted by a more vigorous people, and that hope is a passing one, since even the sturdy Northern races soon yield to the enervating effects of Peru's equatorial climate.

The dreaded phylloxera is causing havoc among the vineyards of France. Thero were 700,000 acres under cultivation in Charentes before it made its appearance. Of these three-fourths have been attacked by the pest, 270,000 acres have been completely destroyed, and the insect is now making head at the rate of 93,000 acres annually. The population of these departments has fallen off about 10,000 during the last live years and thriving, bustling Cognac itself, whose progress some years ago was exciting wonder, and whore there were 140 brandy firms, is now on the downward road. All other trades and callings necessarily sutler, and in this town of under 13,000 inhabitants, there are at present 810 empty houses to be let or sold.

The Senate has postponed consideration of the Bankrupt act and gone ahead to consider the claim of Ben Hollidav. IIow would it do for the Senate to trdnact business of national importance before it digs up the claims of B. Hollidav, Esq., for the203d time?

Education and Death.

Perhaps it Isn't true that educated men live longer than ignorant ones, as a general rule, but it is nevertheless a fact that the necrology list of our colleges contain the names of comparatively few young men. Thero wero seventy graduates of Yale reported as having died during the last year, and their ages averaged 78 years and the seventy-one graduates of Harvard so reported averaged 73 years of age at death. To say the least, this Is a remarkable coi&citlencji. f.

What Protection Does.

At tho time the protective tariff Vft5 adopted in Canada, under what is described as "the national policy," the manufacture of cotton fabrics was limited to the products of 170,000 spindles, and had been many years In growing up to that number but since then, less than three years, there has been an -astonishingly rapid Increase. The American Consul at Coaticook estimates the number now to b» not quite 400,000. The corresponding or attendant benefits to labor and increase of employers is also mentioned by him as an argument in fovor of protection.

A Stuffed Librarv.

Old books are often valuable, though rarely are the contents so rich as those of three quaint and curious volumes of forgotten loro seized recently in the mall from England to this country. They were postmarked Liverpool, and were addressed, prepaid, to a well-known merchant In Cincinnati. The leaves of the books, which are large and bulky, with anclen£ bindings, had been carefnly cut through the middle of tho pages, leaving a good sized receptacle In each volume. Into these holes were compactly placed a considerable quantity of valuable diamonds and jewelry. T'ley h&vo not yot bepfi officially appraised, but are said to be worth at least 56,000.

Sword Canes in the House of Commons. London News. Some comment has been mado among certain members of Parliament and officials of the House of Commons by the discovery that a well known Irish member is in the habit of carrying at Westminster a walking stick which contains a dagger of extraordinary construction.

Tho attention of the Sergeant-at-Arms was called to the matter, and ho In turn Is said to have privately taken counsel ^ylth

My father visited our house very often, fell in lovo with my step-daughter and married her. So my father became my son-in-law, and my step-daughter, my mother, because she was my father's wife. Some tlmo afterward my wife had a son. Ho is my father's brother-in-law and my uncle, for he Is the brother of my stepmother. My father's wtfp, namely, my step-daughter, also had a son. He is my brother, and, at the same time, my grandchild, for he is the sop of my daughter. My wife is my grandmother, becauso she is wiy mother's mother. I am my wife's husband and grandchild at the same time and as the husband of a person's grandmother is his grandfather, I am my own grandfather."

Brave and Modest. 7"

Chicago Tribune. A young man, whose name unfortunately is unknown, but who possesses an abundance of pluck, and nerve, saved the lives of two visitors at Douglas Park yesterday at the peril of his own. Mr. William Greeij and a young lady whose identity is unknown, were boat-riding at 5:30 o'clock, when through somo mismanagement the boat was upset and both occupants dumped into the lake. A number of citizens who witnessed the accident went to their assistance, one of them throwing off his coat and shoes and plunging into the water. Swimming to the upturned boat he seized the lady, whose clothing kept her afloat, and secured her to tne boat, after which he dived to the bottom after the man, who had gone down. He, too, was rescued and taken to the Twelfth Street Station by the patrol, where he was attended by Dr. Bradley. He was then taken home. The young lady had been carried home in the meantime, and the gallant fellow who had saved them had also gone home.

Masootte and Jettatura.

New York Sun. Both dictionaries and scholars fail to answer the question, which the opera with the title constantly raises, what is a mascotte But the visitors of Monte Carlo tell us it is a fetich—a luck-bringer. All gamblers are superstitious, and draw their inspirations from the oddest circumstances. A mascotte -may be a sou or a sixpence with a hole in it, a button, a lock of hair, anything which the punter has associated with a lucky turn. Alms to a beggar—mascotte denial of alms—mascotte seeing a hunchback or a white horse—mascotte: meeting a black cat—mascotte. Three years ago a little hunchback at Monaco derived large returns from standing near the table and rubbing his hump at the request of the players. He had a tariff: Once, 5 francs a long rubbing, 10 francs for standing half an hour behind a certain player and not rubbing for others, 20 francs. -At the end of the season, returning to Paris on the train, he was seen to throw away his hump. Masootte is the opposite of jettatura, or the evil eye.

Samoa of Countries.

The Phoenicians, wlio were a great commercial people in the young days of the world, are thought to have given the present names of most of the countries around the Mediterranean Sea. The Phoenician language contained the words Europe, Asia, Africa, Italy, Spain, Gaul, Britain, iEtna, Sardinia and Siberia, as well as many others now used as the names of minor places. Europe, in Phoenician, meant "white complexion," and was applied to the country north of tho Mediterranean because the natives were of a lighter complexion than those of Asia or Africa. Africa signified "the land of corn." and Asia meant "the middle land," being so named because it was between Europe and Africa. Italy was "the country of black pitch Spain was tho "land of rabbits Gaul, oi France, the "land of yellow hair Britain, "the country of tin yEtna,

The Barber's Book-Keeping. Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle. "No, sir," said a Comstock barber to a suspicious looking transient customer, who affably remarked, as the lather was being "laid on, that he supposed there was a good many men who failed to pay their shaving scores. "No, sir. I used to give credit, but I never do now—in fact, nobody ever asks mo for tick any more." "How's that?" "Well, yau see," said the barber, trying the edge of his razor on his thumb-nail, "I had a set of stiffs who used to ask me to chalk it down. I got tired cf keeping books, and I adopted a new system. Whenever I shaved one of these stand-bys I put a little nick in his nose with my razor, and kept tally that way. They got so they didn't want to run bills,"

There was a tremor in the customer's voice as he asked from beneath the lather, "Do you object to being paid in advance
