The impression seems to be gaining ground that Ben Butterworth, of Ohio, feels ashamed of himself and would like to take it back.

If there is any prophet handy who can predict tho exact size of the European picnic in which England is now engaged, he can command public attention by issuing bulletins for the press.

The waters of the Schuylkill are turning a bluish green from the effects of some organic matter in decay, and Philadelphians are beginning to fear that champagne nmy become a household word.

It was. cruel- in our Department of State to sit down on Lew Wallace thus early in the game. If Lew had been let alone he would have committed Delaware and Rhode Island to the Egyptian war.

The firing yesterday in Egypt was not so fatal to the world as might have been expected. Wo don't hear that any bombs burst in the Alexandrian library, or that any stray shot hit Cleopatra's asp. There is still hope that these great relics may bo preserved.

Our distinguished friend Admiral Nicholson, who ia steaming around Alexandria with four "great big" American frigates, appears anxious to have somebody knock a chip Off his shoulder. One of these days General Arabi will toss a bunch of fire crackers into tho American fleet, and Bombaster Furioso Nicholson will be found heading seaward on the back of a shivered spar.

The London Times, in calling atten tion to the wonderful wealth of this countrv, says that the development of the Western States—or, speaking more generally, of the States of the Mississippi valley—is the dominant fact in the higher politics of the Amer ican union. But its effects have, to a certain extent, been forecasted. A more significant point in the statistics of the Congressional representation is the evidence of tho revival of the South. Of the thirteen Southern States not one looses a representative in the new apportionment, and only four are stationary. At the close of the civil war few would have predicted that in the present political rearrangement while Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont have to submit eacli to a reduction of their representation in Congress, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia receive an increase. It is not by any means so surprising that tho Southwestern States should make substantial gains, for these, unsettled at the date of tho war, and their vast natural resources were certain to be stimulated and opened up to external enterprise on the restoration of peace. The oldor states of tho South, however, wore supposed to be altogether dependent on the system of slavery for their prosperity and political importance. The disasters of the Con federacy were believed alike by Northerners and Southerners, by American and foreign observers to have given a fatal blow to the social center of the secession. Within the past ten years this has been triumphantly disproved, and the fact is placed in evidence by tho readjustment of the Federal representation. The Southern States have prospered under a system of free labor, without resigning political power into the hands of the negro freednien. That the problem has been successfully solved, in spite of difficulties within and without, bears testimony to the political capacity of tho people, and affords good ground for hope that in the United States the future of the negro may be rescued from the mischievous interference of professional philanthropists and self-seeking demagogues.

ENGLAND'S HIHTAEY IMPOTENCE. A story is told of an Englishman who resented some trivial offence from a turbaned Moslem in the streets of Constantinople by striking him offhand. To his astonishment the Turk stripped eff his turban and throwing himself into the most approved attitude invited the Englishman to a setto from which the- Britain emerged very much the worse for wear. With a parting kick the oriental gathered up his turban and exclaimed: "Now be gad, the next time you hit a Toork look out that you don't wake up an Irishman."

This time they have waked up Arabi Pasha and his followers, who, if not Irishmen, have displayed many of the annoying Irish characteristics with which England lias found it so difficult to deal—an intense national feeling and a recklessness of consequences in giving expression to it.

Will the English emerge from this •et-to the worse for wear? If she should, we may well ask if she still possesses that military prowess, both on land and sea, which the world has been ready heretofore to concede is without equal. Her ponderous ironclads are not fitted for forced marches across the desert, and the Egyptians have viewed them, thus far, with something like derision. So a military expedition is next in order.

In 1876 Benjamin Disraeli, as Premier of Great Britain, made a speech at the Lord Mayor's banquet in London, which attracted immense notice. One of the most striking phrases in that speech was the following:

There is no country so interested in the malntalnance of peace as England. Peace is especially an English policy. She Is not an aggressive power, for there is nothing which she desires: -8he covets no cities and no provinces.

But although the policy of England is peace, there is no country so well prepared for war as our own. If she enters into conflict In a righteous cause—and I will not believe that England wilUgo to war except for a righteous cause—If the contest Is ono which concerns her liberty, her Independence or her empire, her resources, I feel, are Inexhaustible. She Is not a country that, when she enters Into a campaign, has to ask herself whether she can support a second or a third campaign.

Although England "covets no cities and no provinces" she has, since 1874, annexed tho Fiji Islands, purchased Moliammereli, at the .mouth of the Euphrates and by the acquisition of 177,000 Suez canal shares gained a cams inlerrentionis in Egypt she occupied Khetta, in Beloochistan and an nexed, in spite of the protests of tho population, tho Transvaal Republic in South Africa, and in 1878 she occu pied Cyprus. This then is peace—the policy so peculiarly England's!

If we desire to obtain a clear notion of Great Britain's capability for going to war, we must turn our attention to its military resources and compare them with the political problems it has to face. Britain's naval and mercantile fleets stand alone in their grandeur, but what political tasks has its navy to perform! To contend with foreign war flee?s, to protect British and capture foreign merchant ships sailing on every sea to support the land troops in protecting the mother country and the foreign possessions as well as, finally, to carry on offensive warfare— these, indeed, are onerous tasks.

English commerce is so developed and extended that it is more exposed to attack than any qtlier. The anxiety of the English mercantile world has been several times aroused on this score. Especially was this true when Russia took steps for equipping cruisers, and purchased several vessels'in the United States. Sho insinuated bad faith on our part, but dared not make direct accusation, as she well knew that the United States did not assent to the declaration of Paris of April, 185G, which proclaimed tho illegality of privateering and moreover, recollecting her partiality in the late war, she was panic-stricken when the Unionists declare'd that they should consider themselves justified in equipping an entire fleet of privateers under the flag of Afghanistan or Thibet.

Upon this question Colburn's United Service Magazine is undoubted authority. It is there stated, in so many words:

If England, therefore, engaged In a war with any European power, the probable result will be a transfer to some neutral flag of a very large portion of our mercantile marine, in order that their employment might go on interruptedly

The proud queen of the seas sailing under a foreign flag! Could anything show more plainly the enormous change of the times?

But let us consider Great Britain as a land power. Hero she is far weaker than in her naval forces she is not only relatively but absolutely weak. Assuming that 18,000 men can be drawn from the Reserve, to be incorporated with an active field force, there are but 31,500 men for foreign service, with no active reserve to fall back upon. This is England's position at a period when Germany exercises,.on a peace establishment, 250,000 men, and Austria and Russia 200,000 each. The nominal force is 563,818. Of these 208,308 are volunteers 121,134 militia 10,617 yeomanry, cavelry and army reserve, with enrolled pensioners 10,617. India takes 93,370 men of all arras from the 189,123 men comprising the regular troops. 95,767 men are distributed through England and Ireland. Ireland cannot spare any men, and there are but 36,560 to be drawn upon in England and Scotland, after allowing for recruits, general service men, men in prison and hospital and 4,000 garrison artillery occupying. Of this net number of 36,500 not more than 16,500 are available to make up a corpsd'armee for foreign service with the men from the Reserve. India will no doubt be heavily drawn upon in case of necessity. But will not England's emergency prove Russia's opportunity? Her recent frontier treaty with Persia has given her a new foothold in Central Asia, and her progress has been rapid since England withdrew in some disorder feom Afghanistan.

A strategical review of the British

colonial empire teaches us that not a single colony can in military respects walk alone, and when we keep in view the weakening effect of the immense distances to which all operations for reinforcements are subject and ,.fix our attention upon the antagonist with whom Great Britain must eventually struggle, we see in full clearness the enormous disproportion between organized military power of Great Britain and the tasks which await it

From a recent careful compilation it appears that the actual amount paid for pensions on account of tho late war to March 1st, 18S2, is $500,781,950. It is estimated that there are now on the pension roll the names of $250,000 pensioners of the late war. This does not include 30,000 (estimated) service pensions on account of the war 1812. The annual value of the 250,000 late war pensions is $27,500,000, and of the 30,000 war of 1812 pensions $2,800,000, or an aggregate annual value in all of $30,300,000. Estimating the disbursements for May and June the total paid for pensions during the current fiscal year will not vary much from $65,000,000. On April 1, 1882, there were on file 217,162 pending claims which, if allowed, would be entitled Ao arrears. Estimating 17J per cent, for rejection, and $1,200 as the average in each case, there would be paid, if allowed within the year, the sum of $214,990,8000. There are 53,179 pending claims which were filed subsequent to tho limitation imposed by the Arrears act, and when allowed, pension commences from date of filing. Deduct 12J per cent, for rejection, and the average first payment would be one year's pension, at $110 permease, or $4,826,030. If the two classes just referred to should be at once added to the roll (223,032),it would increase the annual value of pensions $24,500,000, which, added to the present annual value ($30,300,000), tfould be $54,800,000.

He afterwards went to Egypt, where he was put at the head of tho corps of American officers whom tho Khedive employed to reorganize his army. Nearly all of these have returned, but Pasha Stone remains, and the latest dispatches report, him full of hostility to England, and ready for a tight.

A very handsome matinee of peach blossom cashmere, exhibited up town, has the long train caught up at the loft side and carried directly to the left shoulder, where It Is laid In a semi-Watteau pleat, fastened by a bow and long floating ends of pink watered silk ribbon.

Lucy Carter writes: Mrs. Garfield's dress presented by the Woman's Silk Culture Association, was the greatest object of attention Just previous to my leaving Now York. It was shown in Lord & Taylor's window, where surrounding it was a magnificent display of Ameraan silks, showing very flno combinations of color and pattern In rare brocades. Mrs. Garfield's dress Is of richest texture displaying wide brocaded columns In floral design running lengthwise, while near by, to be used In combination If desired, was silk of similar weaving but in a mixture of gray and black.

Says Clara Belle: The fashionable girl now distinguishes herself by wearing a yellow cart. It might bo more correct to say that the yellow cart wears the fashionable girl or that they wear each other. Anyhow, she may be seen In great numbers In Central Park riding In a two-wlieeled vehicle In considerable bodily anguish. The cart is a clumsy little box hung very low between wheels, and usually attached to a horso of ungainly gait. Every step of the brute hoists and dips the box fore and aft, like a boat in a chopping sea. His slightest movement is felt by theglrl. Ills regular strides make her constantly sway forward and back when he switch­

es a fly with bis tall she Is thrown nearly off her balance when be sneezes, she' Is put Into lively commotion when ho shies or stumbles, she has to employ the skill of a cir-cus-rider to save herself from being thrown overboard. The four-wheeled vehicle formerly used was comfortable but what of that? Fashion says we must use' two wheels only and I suppose If fashion ordered us to ride on a bicycle, hitched to a horse'sltail, we'd try to do It. I am bound to say that, under the exasperating circumstances, most girls are able to do very well with a cart. During an afternoon ride of observation In Central Park I saw few who were not tolerable graceful and attractive. The Jiggle-Joggle and lurch of the carts simply made them appear animated. But,oh, what an amount of fatigue the experience cost them! I was for two hours in a cart, behind a horse that passed for a pony in size, and ought to have passed for a flrst-class curiosity in a side-show. He could have been labeled "Guyascutns" and nobody would have said nay, for he looked like anything but a horse, and.liad a gait like no other living thing under tho sun. I was ashamed" of him at first, but when I came to look around on the varied equlno malformations that were drawing carts, I saw thatf though unique, he was not moro monstrous tlian tho average. The alleged ponies to be seen in Central Park any pleasant afternoon are truly aud highly wonderful. At the end of being drawn (and I'm tempted to say quartered) by one of them for two hours, I felt Just as I Imagine washerwoman must feel after a day over a tub. It was thorough exercise, to say the least of It. and I have no doubt It did me good. I am quite sure It wore out. a good lace scarf on the hard seat, and thereby made the ride rathor costly. The scarf, you understand, was shirred in the centre and arranged en panler, around a skirt of brown silk, and I couldn't, avoid sitting on it. The skirt trimming I may interpolate, was covered to the knees by alternate narrow ruffles and puffings, above which was the scarf. In richer materials than mine was the skirt is often plain, the only trimming consisting of a full, wldegarnlture around the bottom—three puffings with a fluted edge each way, a double box-plaited flounce lined with a contrasting color, or a full and feathery coquille ruche.

LITEBABY NOTES.

Macmlllan A Co. will publish immediately a little book entitled "Rules-of 81mple Hygiene, and Hints and Remedies for the Treatnientof Common Accidents and Diseases," by Dr. Dawson Turner, revised and corrected by twelve eminent medical men connected with hospitals In London. It. Is reprinted from the eighth London edition with additions.

New York Tribune: John Brlght's admiring mention In .his Birmingham speech of the Scotch peasant authoress, Janet Hamilton, recalls the strange fact that this clever woman never had any education except that derived from reading a few books, chiefly Shakspeare, whose works sho knew almost by heart. She never had a lesson In grammar, yet she wrote essays In English absolutely faultless. The estimation In which sho was held In her native land is shown by the enthusiasm which moved C0,t00 persons to attend the unveiling of her monument in 1S30.

Mr. Ruskin has no mind to endure tho worries of a large correspondence.' He his formally asked Ills friends to refrain from troubling liim with unnecessary letters. "I venturo," he says, "to hint to friends who may at any time be anxious about me that the only trustworthy evidences of my health are my writings: and that It Is a prettier attention to an old man to read what ho wishes to say, and can say without effort, than to require him to answer vexing questions on general subjects, or to add to his day's appointed labor the burden of accidental and unnecessary correspondence."

The London Academy says: "A remarkable work has lately been published In Germany. Thirty-three years ago tho Prussian King, William IV., conceived the idea of printing a magnificent royal edition of the works of Frederick the Great. This was not Intended for public circulation, but was to be kept as a gift for Princes, Ambassadors, and. others whom the King delighted to honor. Adolf Menzel received tho commission for its Illustration, and it was brought out in sumptuous form In thirty folio volumes. Little of courso has boon known of tills work during all these years. Lately,-liow-evre, the Emperor has given permission to Herr R. Wagner, the well-known art publlsherof Berlin, to Issue a limited edition of the work In reduced form, but with all the original Illustrations printed from tho blocks preserved In the royal collections. Somo of these Illustrations are given In tho Zeitschrift fur bildcmlc Kunst this month, and one—the portrait of Grumbkow—is wonderfully clover and characteristic."

Littell's Living Age. Tho numbers of The Living Age for Juno 30 and July 8 contain a number of noteworthy articles, among which are tho following: The Boundaries of Astronomy, Contemporary Review Tlireo Months' Holiday in Norway In 1881, Macmlllan The Tower of London, Nineteenth Century The Commercial Spirit In Education, St. James' Magazine An Eton Boy, Fortnightly Review The Geological Influences which have aflected British History, Macmlllan Newgate a Retrospect, Fortnightly An Unpublished Diary written by Dean Swift, Gentleman's Magazine Peel and Cobden, by Prof. Goldwin Smith, Nineteenth Century The Charm of Garibaldi, Spectator Garibaldi and Italy, Economist Baron Flsco at Homo, by W. W. Story, Blackwood. These numbers contain tho conclusion of "The Ladies Lindorcs," and of "Robln"by Mrs. Parr, author of "Adam and Eve," etc., together with the usual amount of select poetry.

A portrait gallery of tho leading actors and actresses of America, with critical biographies, by Alfred Trumble, Is the first of a series of works whose character Is explained by Its title, to be issued by Richard K. Fox, of New York. A handsome volume, containing twenty-nine fine portraits of popular players, male and female, with vivid and authontlc blogrnplcal sketches by a well known dramatic Journalist of New York It can not fail to achieve a place for Itself not only In popular favor but among the most valuable literature of tho stage. The want of authentic theatrical biography Is one which Is constantly felt. In presenting the first installment of this series author and publisher have opened a vein which will yield both fame and profit without doubt. Wo can predict that successive lssuses will be eagerly looked for as they will deserve to be If they sustain tho merit of the first.

Nestor of Politios.

Toledo Blade. If this Interviewing of Thurlow Weed keeps on, the old fellow will soon be telling that It was lie who stood beside Ferdinand and Isabella during the celebrated Columbus Interview, and gave tliem the wink which decided their sending the Admiral out. Weed now says that lie Implored Webster, on two occasions—that of the nomination of Harrison and again when Taylor was nominated—to take the second place oil the Whig ticket. The first time Webster spurned the Idea the next time he consented, but was afterwards persuaded out of It by his son and others. Mr. Weed's reminiscences are entertaining, but after a certain age men are apt to mix things they have done, and those they might have done If they had known anything about ihem, in a most bewildering manner.

Woolwich, a very old gun taken In the last Chlneso war, and a gun which belonged to a vessel of the Spanish Armada. It Is of wrought iron, is a breech-loader, is about 25 calibres long, and lias no provision for recoil. ltecontly, says the Engineering, tho firm of Sir W. Armstrong & Ca. has submitted for trial a breecli-loadlng.gun having a peculiar construction. Tho whole of the piece In the rear .of the trunnions Is built up of steel wire, over which Is shrunk ordinary yot thinner colls of great tenacity. It Is said to be capable of bearing an explosion of 300 pounds of the slow-burning service powder. Although the weight of the gun is only 21 tons 4 hundred-weight, It has a bore of 10.238 Inches

Tho rapidly reversed currents on an ordinary bell telephone do not affect in a sensible degree tho needle of a galvanometer, but M. Chardonnet has noticed that during the short time a note is Increasing or diminishing in intensity a deviation of the needle takes place. He accoupts for this by stating that then the alternate currents aro not of equal strength, the odd semi-oscillations being either .greater or less lii amplitude than the even semi-oscillations during the period of rise or fall of the note.

A Petition to tho King of Eome. Translated from the French. The following is one ol the many singular and characteristic anecdotes related of the Emperor Napoleon:

A man, who was at the same time witty, well-informed, and most unfortunate, desired to obtain an office with a small income, which he thought he could fill satisfactorily.

He resolved to ask for it but, having no protectors at court, and only his own merit to recommend him )which,"unfortunately, is not always sufficient), his petitions were made in vain. Not one was delivered to the Emperor. "Wearied and impatient, his need growing more urgent day by day, at last a stratagem occurred to him that would not be unworthy of an accomplished courtier—an ingenious plan suggested by his necessities. He wrote a little petition for the office with great care, and addressed it to His Majesty, the King of Rome—the infant son of the Emperor.

With his heart filled with the hope of success, he sought an officer attached to the person of the monarch, confessed his distress, showed hjni his petition, and said: "Monsieur, you will be doing a most generous action, and will have a right to my eternal gratitude, if you will give me the opportunity to present this paper."

The general, who was as generous as he was brave, conducted the petitioner to Napoleon's presence. The Emperor took the petition, observed the address, and appeared agreeably surprised. ".Sire." said the general, "it is a petition for his majesty, the King of Rome." "Well," replied the Emperor, "let the petition be carried to its address."

The little King of Rome was then six months old. Four chamberlains were ordered to conduct the petitioner into the presence of the little majesty.

Believing he saw fortuue smile at last, he presented himself before the cradle of fhe prince, spread out his paper, made a respectful bow, and began the reading in a distinct, intelligible voice.

The infant-king made some comments during the reading, after the manner of a child of his age, but at the end made no reply to the request. The retinue saluted tlie- little monarch and withdrew. "What response have you obtained demanded the Emperor. "Sire," was the answer, "his majesty said nothing." "Who says nothing consents," replied Napoleon. "The place is granted."

Talented Hair.

Norrlstown Herald. Buffalo Bill has brought suit to recover §4,000,000 worth of property in Cleveland, and some one expresses the hope that, in case he is successful, lie will put aside twenty cents of it and get his hair cut. It is fiot likely, however, that he will part with threefourths of his dramatic talent unless he intends to retire from the stage.

When There's a Will There's a Way. Any one who has the will to try Thomas' Eclectric Oil will surely find the way to robust health, in cases of bronchial affections, sore throat, pains, etc. and as an internal remedy it is invaluable.
