leaving their address in the business office.

A competent Democrat remarked yesterday that he considered the speech of John R. East the most danr gerous against Democracy that had ever been delivered in this State, and lie predicts that it will make hundreds of converts to the Republican cause.

John E. East, who is now but 37 years old, was always noted for daredevil independence of character. During the war he would undertake foraging expeditions that no one else would handle. In other words he proposes to cultivate his own views regardless of consequences.

Nature and the Nihilists appear to be conspiring against the physical safety of thij Czar, lie and his Empress managed to steal out of prison the other day and take a drive. They crossed abridge over it ravine. .Soon after that it caved in. Policy rates on the Czar's life should be high.

The. Roman Police have had considerable trouble in enforcing the law against untagged dogs, to prevent hydrophobia. Finally they adopted an innocent ruse. Prominent places of the city w«rcplacarded wilhabloodcurdliug account, of a whole family destroyed by a dog's bite, some of whom were dreadfully mangled. It worked like a charm.

Says the Clinton Herald: Dan Voorhees made a speech in Terre Haute last JJomiiiy night. When hecaiuo to the tariff i|U«stlon he made a mighty good Republican npeech. John Lamb made aspeceli in Terre IJaute last Monday night. When he came .to the tariff question he 5idn't say a dog-gone thing. John knowsth.it ho can't, ride into Congress on a free trato donkey, and ho also knows that if ho opposes Dan Voorliees he can't "get theiVunyho-w.

In other words, John is between the devil and the deep :ea. "Whichever wins, the Republican party ivi'I have »o cause to complain.

The Gazette devoted nearly a column last evening to show 'that Mr. Peirce is very much afra4 of meeting Mr. Lamb in joint debate. Judging from the preliminary arrangements 3S described by the Democratic oj'gan, iff. Peirce has the advantage of his adversary on every material point. If he can debate as successfully as he can mate arrangements fo? it, he will lay bis opponent out beyond resifrreciion.

Sow

that the prelimina

ries have been arranged, the voters are anxious for the fur commencc flying. There has already been too much talk—all on one «ide, and it is now time for business. Much has been said of the tariff and Mr. Peircc's position thereon. It would not be out of place for the Democratic candidate to define his position. Does he follow in the footsteps of the immortal Daniel, or does he favor a tariff for revenue only? And when the Beaucliamp business is up, it would probably be as well to state the true inwardness of that appointment and who really was responsible for it.

A late number of the

London Standard

contains a lofig and critie&l historical review of the difference wrought in naval warfare since the day when Nelson bore down on the French fleet in 1798 in the Bay of Aboukir. A twentyfour pounder was a fine gun at that time and close quarters were essential to successful attack. A ship of war was valued altogether by the number of guns she could carry. Nelson's tactics of getting his own ship between two of the enemy's were prompted by an instinct which told him it was not good policy to liave half of his guns idle.

The promptitude, says the Standard, "with Which Nelson decided on the mode of attack when he at last discovered his foe in the Bay of Aboukir was an element of success at the outset. Against him he had thirteen sail of the line and four firigates, having in all twelve hundred guns, and from ten to eleven thousand men. Thus, the British fleet was in all respects outnumbered. The French flag ship was a three-decker of great size. Nelson's plan was to double on his enemy, and in this he was ably assisted by the cap tainoftlieleading ship, the Goliah. The vessel passed the bow of the enemy's van, and then turning around, went inside the French line, casting anchor by the stern, and pouring in a destructive lire while performing lver manceu vre. The Zealous, the Orion, tlie Theseus, and the Audacious followed. In less than fifteen minutes the van ship of the French line was reduced to a mere hulk. By the time all the British ships had taken their position the victory had practically commenced Four of the enemy's ships had struck, and the l'Orient was on fire. The blowing up of the Admiral's ship was an.incident which has often been referred to as possessing an element of sublimity. The terrific "sound of the explosion, and the fearful scene which it presented, led to a cessation of tho cannonade for some minutes, an oppressive silence taking the place of the ceaseless uproar which had so long prevailed. The first sound which then broke upon the ear was the splashing, of the shattered fragments of the ship as they fell into-the water from the great height to which they had been hurled.

If two representative navies were now to be engaged in deadly conflict, the tactics of Nelson would probably destroy not one fleet, but two. At the present moment there is no prospect of any other encounter than that of British ships against Egyptian forts, and the battle of the 11th ult. shows pretty' plainly what to ex pect in that direction. The value of the huge projectiles of the Inflexible is demonstrated by the tremendous havoc wrought in a few hours among the batteries of Alexandria. Twenty times as many shells of ordinary size would not have done the work which these flying mines performed. Heavy guns were overturned, in one instance crushing some of the unhappy artillerymen to death. Masonry was shattered as by an earthquake, and tho only thing which seemed capable of offering any resistance was the loose sand, which yielded to the projectile and then fell back nearly into the same place as before. But we have to ask ourselves, what would be the effect ci such shells as these entering the hull of a vessel? "We havesoinp examples of shells entering the British ships clur ing their engagement with the Alexandria batteries. But armor "was not pierced, and no vital part was assailed neither were the shells of that formidable character which would characterize the projectiles used in a firstclass naval engagement. Shells which upset 12-ton guns in a land battery would be fearful things in the body of a ship. As it was, the Egyptian shells might have wrought a vast aioouniof mischief had the aim been more correct. Tho sea forts at Sebastopol gavethe British Navy the first taste of shell fire, and the effect was sufficiently serious. The cry, "For God's sake, keep out the shells" gave the impetus to armour, and introduced the ironclad era. To pierce the armour the guns were made bigger, and now we find that ships ar.e able to demolish forts a fashion which might have gladdened Um* heart of Sir Charles Napier, when brought iiifip to face with the granite batteries of the "Baltic. But it remains to be seen what ships cap do against ships, and we anticipate that showld a battle of the Nile ever be l'ougUfc betwpen the Navies of two Great Powers, the eqonjc effect—if so we may term it—would Xtu- transcend tho cannonade which raged in Abou-kir-Bay some fourscore years ago.

On tlu (3th of December we are to have another transit of Venus. It will be a great event in the astronomical world, and observers will be placed at every prominent point on the face of the globe. The l&jt transit we had was on December 8, 1874, and tlje next one after .this will not take place till Jun^e 7, 2004. There are only four transits to every 235 years.

The earliest record of a tranaU ii astronomical history is preserved in the British Museum. It was in the year 6$$ B, C-t and the account is written in cunefor^ /etjers on a Babylonian brick.

An interesting chapter in i&e history of monern astronomy is given by. the Ifew Orleans Times-Democrat ^vhen it reca)l|s the fate of poor Le Getil, whose name^yjjl ever be associated with the history ©f Jast pair of transits. He left Paris in. 17£0 to .observe the transit of 1701 at Pondichen»y jn India and in those days traveling was tedious and costly, and the Suez Canal had p.pt even been dreamed of. By the time he rea.cl^d the East Indies the war between the Eugiis^ and French had rendered it impossible for him to fulfill his Intended project "What did he do? He actually formed the resolve to remain in India until the second transit of the pair—to take place in 1769! He remained at

Pondicherry," built an observatory, learned the language of the .country, and waited for the great event all those years. The day came at last (June 3) cloudless and beautiful. But, alas! just a moment_or two before the transit one of those awful Indian storms which blacken the heavens with extraordinary suddenness, veiled the sun. And the clouds withdrew precisely as the transit was accomplished. Le Gentil had waited eight years in vain. When he re-, turned home, he found that his family and friends had long .believed him dead. His place had been filled in. the Academy of Sciences. He could not even recover his own property. Finallv he died of chagrin. -i*

At the Hamburg international Exhibition of 1883, plsiculturo will be a special feature, and American fish culturlsts will doubtless contribute to its 6UQces8..

It is stated upon good authority that certain menhadden fishers have, during Uie past month, made large catches of weakfish, and as the fish were almost invariably tainted by the extreme heat, they. were generally taken to Barren Island and there transformed Into compost. Such practices should be stopped at once by investigation through proper authorities.

The following rule, laid down by a contemporary, islnot alwayB.true as regards tho comparative number of fish, taken in bait fishing and fly-ftshing, but none will deny the. superiority of the latter style as regards sport: "Tho fly-fisher can fish over more water than tho bait-fisher, and can thereby take more fish. He has a -higher kind' of sport that the latter knows nothing of."

On Saturday of last week the new ship Albatross, built for tho use of the United States Fish Commission, was launched at Wilmington, Delaware. The steamship'is' 300 feet long, 27^ feet beam, and of 800 tons burden. She will be used to transport the publi^and private exhibits intended for the International Fisheries Exhibition in London next year, and will afterward be put to such uses as the United States Fish Commission may decide upon.

A provincial Journal perpetrates the following: "An enterprising looking countryman with a creel full of fine trout was standing In tho doorway of the rail, road station at Bedford Springs. A passenger accosted him, and after .admiring the fish, remarked: 'Goirig to take them homo for supper, I suppose?' 'Not if I can help It,'' said the rustic with a grin. 'There bo a party of city bloods as went fishing from here this mornln'. They're spooled back soon, and I'm sorter lyln round waiting to save their feelln's.'"

Along the Restlgoucherlvor,Canada, for a dlstanco of twenty-five miles, is a farrow tract of land owned or leased by the famous Resligouclio Salmon Club. This adjoins the preserve of the Marquis of Lome. Owning the exclusive right of fishing over tho clioico grounds of tho river, the members of tho club enjoy right royal sport, and it was In tlieso waters that Gen. (now President) Arthur caught his fifty-pound salmon four years ago. The largest taken this season weighed a trifle over forty-two pounds. On and after September 1 the club-house will be closed for tho year, though fishing is not prohibited by law until September 20.

The Scene of the Battle in Egypt

'"TheBritish'in their steady advance from Ismailin ha-e received" their first important cheek rat a point on the Sweetwater eanal, between that town andZagazig. The point is ICossassin or Casassiny which is a village similar to most Egyptian villages—that, is to say, it is composed of a number of nvud huts, thatched with palm leaves a rude mosque and several clusters of date palm trees. It is contiguous to one of the locks of the Sweetwater canal, and at this season of the year the country surrounding it either wholly or partially flooded The waters, which are drawn off tho Sweetwater canal a Kassassin, are led through the conntr between raised embankments, whicl are regulated to the conditions of the ground hy the fellaheen. This peculiar state of the land must have mado it difficult for the British cavalry and artillery to move, and tho comparatively heavy loss inflicted upon the British must lie due to the light equip ments of the Egyptian Arab troops, their knowledge of the singularities of the ground, and the inability of the English cavalry and generals to act upon them with any effect. In all prob ability tho Arabs worked up to the British encampment,under tho shadow of the numerous embanked water course, and got in among the infantry before Sir Garnent Wolselcy's infantry were able to keep them out. Once in among the infantry, the Arabs had a chance of playing lmv oc, for there can be little doubt that, at close quarters, a Be douin, like an Afghan ghazee, is quite as good a man as an ordinary specimen of the present British infantry. Indeed, it is doubtful whether he is not much better, both as regards physique and determination. If a few Bedouins got right in among a similar number of short- service British soldiers they would be apt to damage that tine old British. fiction which assumes an English soldier to be the best in the world The British will have to depend for success upon the excellence of their weapons, which of course are infinitely superior to those of the Egyptians, but they will have to be very cautious about relying on their physique.

The brief particulars to hand of the fight at Kassassin are suggestive pf the style of fighting which Arabi's ligh cavalry of the desert intend to carry out upon Sir Garnet Wolseley's force before it reaches the walls of Cairo The sudden moonlight surprise and the rapid disappearance after the rush are thoroughly characteristic of the battle plans of nonjadic Mohammedan peoples.

pressive Irish "bull," few of the Sn glish soldiers ever went to sleep in the field without expecting to wake up dead in the morning. The Wurzeeries, who occupy a large tract of mountain ous territory in southeastern Afghanistan, are notoriously expert at this mode of fighting. Arming themselves with charahs (heavy-backed knives they assemble in dead silence, marc! on their silent sandals and then rush through the enemy's camp, slashing right and left, cutting tent ropes, maiming horses, and slaying whoso ever they encountered in their warpath. Once clear of tho camp, with its mass of fallen tents, helpless men and stampeding, maddened horses, they trot off to their hills again as silently as they came and assemble some hours afterward in their villages to wipe their blades, pass around the hookan, and to talk of the deeds they individually had done. As a rule they escape unmolested. One or two may be shot down accidentally, bi}t they leave behind a much greater tale of Slaughter tJ)a their enemy can possibly inflict upon iliem. Tlia Bedouins perform the same kind of feats as these wild fanatical AVuzeeries. They delight in quick dashes and surprises. One of these dashss is apparently what they have made on the British camp at Kassassin and although Gen. AVolseley's next bulletin may announce another British victory it is more than probable' that tile adventurous Bedouilis escaped into the'dege-1 —:il

Somehow or other, these sober gowns, Trti)to tyfQif voiy rarity seem always to be closejy scrntjhiia4.^norc e^pec'.illv as their", wearers' geij&uly for gayety in style and eleg&nee. (Flira was true of a chestnut colored toilet recently seen, whero the bodice and panniers wero of cashmere, which was

draped by chenile cordelieres over a splendid skirt of velvet, entirely covered by appliques of plainer satin. A short distance away the embroidery might have been mistaken for kid. An elegant finish to the toilet was the princess bonnet, a mass of crumpled roses, trimmed with brown velvet ivy leaves.

Cornflowers are becoming popular. In millinery they will soon reign in brocades and velvets they figure in abundance, while for ball dresses they form one of the prettiest powderings, as on a white tulle, where the blossoms were outlined in pale, blue

Bilk,

the leaves in green, ana the stalks in gold, tinsel. Hosts of these aerial dresses arfi being prepared for youthful wearers. Flowers are placed as artlessly as possible on these clpudlike toilets. In one charming dress the front was lightly dotted by roses, a few of them so full-blown that they had apparently begun to shed their petals, and these scattered droppings were secured on the tulle just as though they had really fluttered and fallen by chance, On a more matronly gown, large, sull-blown roses were flatly sewed down on the dress on which the accompanying leaves and stalks were richly embroidered.

It is really quite interesting to note the many variations in lace beading, aud as so many ladies make this a pastime tliev will not be burdened with a hint or two. As a general rule the designs, or "fillings," are simply outlined by small, tubular beads, De they black, colored satin or metallic, and these, as the worker prefers, are carried also into the veinings of leaves, hearts of flowers, etc.—in a word, the more profuse the beading, the more costly and handsome the trimming. The deep lobes of the broad Chantilly laces are brought into relief by fancy diamond-shaped pipes of jet, about a quarter of an inch long starting from the stem of the lobe a single pipe is sewn in slantwise, and others in succession, sloping just as the lace pattern branches, and increasing to two or three towards the lower and wider part. Occasionally, fans and scallops are covered by loose semi-circles of beads, threaded on silk and slung across the pattern, while the richest style of all is obviously the encrusting of the design with beads, using large ones for all the linear parts, and smaller ones for the interstices leaves are often enriched in this way on one half, and left quite unadorned on the other. 7. .f ..

Tlie Ennich.

London Society. TheEunichisa great personage in the harem or palace. His power is al most absolute. There is no limit to his control. The chief eunicli in palace is styled kislar ajjaci he is black, and takes the position of the second man of the empire, ranking with the Grand Visier, He is captain of the girls. If they ore insubordinate he does not mince matters, but cbas tises them with rods on the bare body, Should the matter, however, be a very serious- one, thoy are disposed of These black eunichs are hideous, un gainly fellows, generally with short necks, and long legs they are very haughty and overbearing in their de ineanor, and when escorting their charges on excursions slash about with their "courbatch" or whip indiscriminately, to clear the way for the pets of the Padishah. They en princely salaries, and the large fortunes amassed by them Tesult mainly from backsheesh screwed out of the inmates of the harein. It is from this class of Orientals that the mutes are selected. Mutes are still employed by the Sultan in his palace as guards and attendants, and especially are sheir negative services availed of at the Porte, where all official business and diplomatic interviews are carried on. The mutes (we are not talking of the "Arabian Nights" and their fanciful stories, but In sober earnest as to what is happening at the present hour) are selected from the eunlclis, and when very young men have their tongues cut out, and every means devised to keep them in a" state of ignorance, as they are not even taught to read and write. The eunichs are also turned to further account. When a Grand Vizier is to be deposed, or some other person in high office to be dismissed, such matters are generally carried through with expedition. The officer •whose duty it is to undertake this imlortant mission is termed "Black

Sars." It is for him only to notify the Grand Vizier that his power is at an end he appears suddenly, always at midnight, and without anv kind of warning. He receives for this errand a large amount of backsheesh. In former davs it was his duty to strangle then and there the Grand Vizier or high functionary, whoever he might he. But things are more mercifully managed now, and the vie tim is smuggled on board the Spltan's steam yacht, the Izzedan, to some point in Arabia, or Asia Minor, and most probably the ministerial career is terminated by the simple process of administering a cup of "mocha."

How a Man Acts When He Upsets an Inkstand. Burlington Hawkeve.

A man may be cool as an icicle under extraordinary circumstanoes of dapper or e^citjnnqnt he may ore serve an oven lhincl when 'a ghost comos into his room at midnight he may assume command and act nobly ana well when the ship is sinking, but let that man, let any man, upset his inkstand, and ho springs to his feet, makes a desperate grasp for the inkstand and knocks it half wayacross the table, claws after his papers and swoops them through the sable puddle to save them, tears his white silk handkerchief and mops up the ink with it, and after ho has smeared the table, his hands and his lavender trousers with ink, as far as it could be made to go, discovers that early in the engagement he knocked the inkstand clear oil' the table, and it has been draining its life-ink away all that time in tho center of the only light figure in tho pattern of the carpet. Then he wonders why a man always makes a fool of himself when hd'upjjei^ pottle of ink. He doesn't know why. N.obfidj: kpo^s why, But every time it is sO. If you don believe it, try it
