So he caused him to be put out of the way in characteristic Oriental fashion that Is to say. he was strangled at the close of a particularly gay supper at which he had been the Khedive's chief guest. Mustapha Pasha Fehmi, the present Prime Minister, had his left hand terribly bitten by the dying man while endeavoring to stifle his cries, and wears the glove to conceal the semi-circular star left by the teeth of the ill-fated statesman. Sahml Pasha, his associate in this execution, i now a fellow exile of Arabi Pasha in Ceylon, while Blum, the faithless private secretary, who betrayed his master and benefactor to the Khedive, and thus brought about the Minister's death, is today President of one of the leading banks at Vienna, and possessed of the Egyptian title of Pasha, as well as the Knight Commander-ship of the English Order of St. Michael and St.

George. Matters are reaching a crisis In connection with the affairs of Sir Robert PeeL An application has just been made to the courts for his arrest and Imprisonment for contempt of court In declining to restore to the Peel estate several old masters which he had removed from Drayton Manor and conveyed to Paris In order to raise money by means of their sale. This was little better than a theft, since the pictures were covered by the law of entail, besides which be had mortgaged the whole of his life Interest In the family estates and property. Sir Robert declares that he Is penniless and that he cannot restore the pictures without refunding the sum of $20,000 which he obtained on them. The court has declined, however, to enter into this phase of the matter, gave him a brief, and defined a period within the limits of which to get the pictures back, with the alternative of imprisonment In Holloway Jail.

Sir Robert Is therefore now on the lookout for some one willing to lend him a sum of $20,000 in order to save himself from limbo. I need scarcely add that he has no security to offer.

King Oscar is stated to have offered his son the Governorship -of Gothland In the event of his retiring from the navy, an appointment to which the inhabitants of that duchy have expressed their strong disapproval, suggesting that the Prince Is far better fitted for the r61e of a Bishop than for that of a lay administrator. The Prince himself Is reluctant to leave the navy, believing that he has a divine mission to perform in evangelizing the saiiors under his command and imbuing them with the same principles as himself. This, of course, does not meet with the approval either of the Naval department or of the government, and he doubtless would already have been retired compulsorily by the King were It not for the fact that he Is strongly supported In everything that he does by his mother, the Queen, who is affiliated to the Salvation Army and who Is tur-rounded by an influential crowd of religious monomaniacs as bigoted and as unpractical as herself. In fact it Is difficult to see what will be the outcome of the present situation unless the Prince finally puts into execution his In these days, when there is so much talk of sedition and unrest in India, writes a London correspondent of the Detroit Journal, It Is pleasant to think how much the Queen has done to endear herself to her people there and to cement the ties which bind them to the crown of Kngland by her thoughtful and sympathetic interest In the political and social progress of her Eastern emplie. Her direct interest In India began at a time when the British rule in the East was at Us greatest per11- an1 when the slightest diplomatic or administrative blunder would probably have cost Great Britain her empire In Asia.

Just after the mutiny in 1857 there arose a strong feeling of bitterness and revenge in India, as Intense and widespread as It was dangerous and impolitic. Among the few who escaped this feeling was the Queen, and she showed her sorrow and indignation at Its existence In a letter she wrote In 1857 to her Viceroy. Lord Canning, who shared her feeling. In this letter she declares that heT highest wish was to see her Indian subjects happy, contented, and flourishing. This document expresses the feeling of generosity, benevolence, and religious toleration of a female sovereign speaking to more than 100,000,000 of Eastern people on assuming the direct government over them, and did much in the way of pouring oil on the troubled waters, by reassuring the English and conciliating the natives.

This was a happy idea of the Queen herself, and by It the feelings of the native Princes have been much gratified, while at the same time they have been bound together In a confraternity and attached by a personal tie to their sovereign. The visit of the Prince of Wales to India In 1S73. and the proclamation of the Queen as Empress two vears later, further accentuated her Majesty's interest In the country, but what has given more satisfaction than anything else is the fact that their energetic sover FIVE HUNDRED UNIFORMS ON THE WAY TO SECOND REGIMENT.

The State of Illinois should have supplied them with tents, uniforms, umlerwear in fact, everything necessary to their comfort.

How on earth can laundry be returned, writing materials and stamps be furnished, and the dear ones waiting at home for money that does not come be supplied? I spoke to a prominent United States army officer today concerning the numerous letters I have received offering assistance to the Second Regiment in the way of supplies not furnished by the government.

In this way, in -addition to what the government gives, each company can have quite a change in its table and have nearly as great a variety as could be had at home.

Li Hung Chang and the King of Siam were the last distinguished guests there. Every one has heard of the Zenana Mission, yet few realize, even if they happen to know, that It entirely owes Its origin to the Queen's sympathy with and desire to help the downtrodden female subjects In her Eastern empire. What sufferings must have been endured by them In those days, not so long ago, when they were allowed to die rather than be seen by a man doctor, and threat of migrating to Africa as a missionary.

Ninety-nine out of every hundred of the passersby recognize the likenesses, and the hundredth man falls only because he has not seen the originals.

The effect of the outline Is heightened and Intensified by a mat of dull black cardboard. The process of making the photograph silhouettes, according to the Innventor, Is simple enough when you know how It ii done. The profile must be adjusted at exactly the correct angle between the camera and a pane of frosted window glass.

IT was more than a week after the army of Lee had surrendered. The Southern confederacy was dead. The edict emancipating the slaves was no longer a paper bulletin; It was a vital law. The news was slow In, reaching the big cotton fields on Red River, a region that had been cut off In a measure from the active drama of war by the gunboats that guarded the Transmlssissippi Department." The news that they were free was brought to the slaves on the Starlight Plantation on a sunny afternoon In May, when the hands were In the field chopping out cotton. An excited young mulatto, riding a mustang, galloped up to the fence and stammered out the wonderful story that freedom done corns for sure!" The nesroos.

Headed by a gTay-halred old foreman, they marched In solemn procession to the house, the "women bringing up the rear. A boy carried In the request that "Marster" would step out a minute.

He came after a while a figure of noble grace, a proud, clear cut face, pale save for the ominous flush on each cheeck. His blue gray eyes were clouded with sadness that had a tinge of cynicism. He was the last male of his line, and all the ambitious hopes of his young life were today In the dust. The cause he had fought for was dead, his fortune was gone, his health shattered. The physician's verdict had gone forth only a few days before consumption, brought upon tho young Captain by sleeping on the ground of marshy swamps, his tent and blanket being given up to bis sick soldiers.

Give me the truth: I can bear it," he said to his physician. And the fatal truth as given him he had sent in a letter to the woman he loved a letter that released her from her allegiance to a doomed man. Not an hour before Uais he had read her reply, accepting the release. It was what he expected, perhaps. At any rate.

It was Just and sensible. Yet her kind words hurt him more cruelly than the minie ball in his shoulder. But he was ol a race that hide their wounds, and he stepped out upon tho piazza with as proud a tread as when the world seemed all before him. He stood before the 200 negroes whose destinies he had held in his hands but a little while before. Now they were no longer subservient to him.

Now they were no longer his property. It was more than a question of property to him. Thjse negroes were his friends. His dead father had owned most of them from their cradles. With many of them he had played when a child, and hunted and fished when a boy.

He had been dandled on the knee of that gray-haired foreman; that staiely black woman had carried him In her arms when a baby; that you'h with the honest, homely face had ridden by his side in the fight, and knelt by him all night when he lay Wounded on the field; that grizzled old darky had closed his father's eyes and sung the burial hymns ever him when the white minister 3icod aloof for fear of yellow jack," the fatal fever. Yes, they were his friends; he had cared for them In sickness and in health. Now the tie between them was suddenly snapped asunder. They were about to desert him in this hour of his deepest desolation. They were as exu'tant.

The world Is wide." He waved his hand as he spoke. A mocking bitterness was In his smile. He expected to hear exciting murmurs, shouts of joy.

But there was dead silence. They looked at one another a dazed, scared lock. This strange news dashed In their faces took; away their breath. Their cable was cut. They were adrift from their old moorings; they knew not what to do.

There was no exultation. Some of the women began to cry, but softly, without Snowing that the tears were running down their dusky faces. At last. the grizzled old preacher raised his eyes heavenward.

She was a woman S4 years of age, and died at her home, at the southeast corner of Eighth and Spruce streeti, where she had lived for the last twenty years. The fact that In she had posed in royal robes and Jewels as Queen Victoria for the figure portion of a portrait of that then young monarch, painted by Thoina Sully in Buckingham Palace, was the notable episode In Miss Sully's unostentatlouf life.

Now, by means of this mission, Hindoo women can be ill with as much comfort as their Western sisters. Inasmuch as there are always lady doctors, full of professional skill, ready to attend to them. And while there is help now for the body In India, the mental and moral natures of the women have not been neglected, and female education and everything which tends to the advancement of the sex receive the Queen's constant support.
