Tbe stranger neither halted nor- replied, but attempted to walk past the guard line. The sentinel thereupon plunged bis bayonet into tbe man's body, killing him instantly. The account of the occurrence reached London to-day, and was exaggerated into a sensational report that dynamiters had been at work. An investigation shows the man killed was a soldier and a com- rade of the sentinel whom he tried to annoy by a silly practical joke. Aa organiaation, to be known as tbe National Independent Association, has been formed in London. Its objeota include the upholding of the privileges of the Throne.

O d-fasbioned people in many districts in Japan, to wboae f amilieB death has made freqaent visits, still resort, in their anxiety to prolong the lives of their children to the custom of bestowing upon their offspring names ordinarily given to infanta of the opposite sex. Probably the superstition ia more widely prevdent than foreigners would suppose, but it is only when some incident or story m connection with its observance is rej^orted in tbe vernacular papers that the mnjarity become aware of the existence of tbe old custom. A Kokio paper tells a story in point Somn time ago a man named Eano, living at Kameioho, Nibonbashi, Tokio, received tbe intimation from the authorities that bis ddest son Bannosukeâ€" a name dwaya applied to malesâ€" having attuned military age, steps should at once be taken with a view to the young man undergoing medicd examination prior teactud enlistment. Kano loet no time in going to tbe ward office and explain- ing that Bunnosuke was his daughter though registered as a mde since 1872. in whiQb year the census system waa dtered. The authorities, however, in whose mind frequent and more or lesa ingenious schemes to evade ooneciiption had given rise to a condition of pure skepticism on this pomi, did not scruple to order an exam- ination to be conducted at Kane's house. The result, of course, proved tbe statement made by the father, who, on being ques- tioned, sdd that, having loet two daughtera bath about one year old, he had been driven to this expedient to keep the third alive. It may bepKBamed that ita succesB, as evinced in his daugntsr's attainment of " military age," will tend, at any rate among his neighbors, to the re\ivd of a custom, which, whatever ita inconveniences, is net without soggeative interest. Greater men than Kano have Idd schemes, far deeper than bis simple artifice, to circnmvent the grim visitor, and for tbe most part tbey h:k?e failed.â€" Japan Ifail.

Tbe mdn ob jt ct in view waa to aacnre payment of interest on tha bonded debt, tha major pirtiOBotthabonda,beinghd4 by British Ind French oapitaliata. Thja waa accomplished byestabhshing the oblebrated ioiul or dud oonteol o! Egyptian finanees. Sir Biveia Wilson, the Biitiah representa- uve. dismissed dl the native Eieptian officials and put in their places English offidals at much hi^er satariea. Before long, Arabi Pasha waa uicoesBfol in forming a " natiood party," intended aa a protest sgainst the new rule, and^ as be was an officer in tbe army and had no difficulty in obtdnisg followers there, a military rising took place in Cairo on Feb. 1, 1881. With the subsequent evento in the Egyptian war our read era are familiar. France refused to ud Great Britain in putting down the revolt. Britdn, afrdd of the Suez Cand, andertook the tatk, defeated a band of Arabs, and garrisoned the prindpd towns, but only until such time as a strong Government oould be set up in the unfortaoate land. That time cannot have arrived yet, for the British troops are still in Egypt. It was not till July, 1881, that the Fdse Prophet raised bis standard of revolt in the Soudanâ€" a territory extending 1.650 miles from north to south and 1,200 miles from east to west. This district had been gradndly annex;ed by Egypt since 1821, but its hundred and more tribes had never been entirely subjugated by tbe invaders. The great trade of the Arabs has dways been slave-stealing and selling. They tolerated Egyptian rule so long aa it did not interfere with their peneAant for taarry- iDg at will their negro neighbors in the southern latitudes bat when Sir Samuel Baker, acting on behalf of the Egyptian Government, led an expedition mtothe district from which the slave supplies were obtdned, and the conquest of the equator-, id provinces was accomplished, the f ael- iog of resentment waa engendered. In 1874, Col. Gordonâ€" now the famous Gan- eral Gordon â€" appeared on the scene, was appointed Governor-Generd of the vast dependency, Darlnr being added to the conquered territory ia the following year. Until 1880. Gordon bdd this position, and it must be add with eredit to himself. He dmed to put down the infamons slave trade, and in this object he had the sympa- thy of both the Kbecive and the British Government, for on the British had hitherto devolved the task of dming a blow at the trade when carried on by means of dhowB on the Red Sea. In 1880 Gordon Pasha was with- drawn, owing to the era of economy which had been inaugurated at Cairo, and tbe spirit of revolt agdnat Egyptian interfer- ence btcame intense. At last, as we have "Seen, Ahmed Mohammed, the Mahdi, appeared during the holy month of Bam- aaan,and presented himself as sent by Heaven to secure not only the politicd but also the spiritud sdvation of tbe natives. He gathered around him dl the discon- tented dementa of those vast regions, who acclaimed in bim a lined descendant of the Prophet- a prophet himself destined to regenerate dl lalam, and restore to the true believers tbe spoils of which Christendom and ita alliee were seeking to deprive them. At first, the Mahdi waa defeated by the Egyptian troops in Sanaar, but before many months hsd elapsed (in the spring of 1882) his followers had annihilated tbe army of Toussef Pasha, 8,000 strong, only 27 escaping to tell the tde. Victory after victory followed, and the cause of the Mdidi was triumphant. The aimy of Hteka Pasha was out to pieces, ElObdd garrison surrendered, and it was seen that the revolt against the Egvptlans waa far inore formidable than at fir«t sospeetod. In Dsaember, 1888, Sir Evelyn Baring proposed that a British officer should be sent to the Soudan to anperintond the withdrawd of tha EiopUanaf and the Government of Egypt joined in ibe rt qneat. Gordon vraa appomted Govemor-Gsnerd of the Soudan and be waa direeted by the Kbadiva to withdraw all the wvil and military aathoritiaa mid aa many of the inhabitantaaa wished to rainrn to Egypt.
