" In the name of Allah and the prop- het, why not, since it is no more than the Feringhees deserve! " Because we should give their divers nationalities good excuses for avenging them, and their vengeance might take the shape of dividing Egypt as lawful spoil. No, no let us get b^ck the million aciea that England and France have already filched for what they are pleased to term the creditors of the state, let ua rescue Egypt to the Egyptians and frighten theae Europtan jackala from the land, ao that they shall no longer fatten on the bread which they take from ita people, and to effect all this the fewer drops ef their blood that we shed the better, Tonlba." " Inshallah, be it as you wish. What ia it that we should first do "I must at once to the war oflSce, where I may expc-ct animmediate invasion of consuls, some to caj ale and some to threaten. The joint centred, you may depend upon it, ig at an end with Gambetta s overthrow, so France will attempt to humibug and England to bul- ly and Gt'rmany Austria and Russia will aim chiefly at widening the breech between them whilst estranging both nations still farther from ns. 1 shall have to play with all these petty diplom ats as with chessmen on a board and ti e more violently that rogues can be made to quarrel between them- selves the betcer for ube honest nan whom they all want to rob. You will thus perceive Toulba, that my time will be fully occupied. " " Good, your excellency, and now you'll be kind enough to set me my work." " You will require quiet to the city. Let the people know I am free and laboring hard in their service, tell them that they must be patient for a little w hile or that they will ruin all my fine projects by their over zeal also that on no account must Ferringhee blood be shed, because thereby we shall difaw all the Feeringhee nationa down upon us to avens^e their brethien, and that they vi ill cast us into worse bondage than ever. Take these written instructions to Ali B^y Fehmy Kasr-en-Ni' barracks. (Hereout came pocketbook and pencil.) They are to instruct him to have the streets patrolled day and night so that any out- break of the populace may be checked in the bud, •' He had be -tar serve out no ball cart- ridges to his negroes, nor allow them their bayonets either, for the blood of the Soudan is hoti and were but one Egyptian life to be taken for a European's in your name, I would not guarantee your present popular- ity continuing for a single hour. You know the fickle humor of the mob." The war minister bit his lip, for he knew there waa much truth in what Tonlba haid. " You are right," he remarked after a min- ute? re fl action. "The favor of the people must be preserved at all hazards. For this reason, a little rough horseplay with the Ferringhees may be allowed and some trif- ling pillage and smashing of windows as well. But these things must not be permitted to go too far, so wherever more than a score of rioters gather together, they must be dispersed in a firm but good tempered man- ner by the soldiery. There, there, where la the need of cautioning you further? Act as you thick best, and I'm sure that you will not go far wrong. We have each our separ- ate and widely different work to perform, and the moment that I aet about mine the better." ^, With theae words Arabi waved his aubor- dinate an adieu and rebetook himaelf to hia carriage, whilst with equal haste Tonlba re- mounted the beautiful white Arab at^ion that had borne him to the palace and daah- ed Cairowarda at a gallop. • • • He found the city in a ferment.

It would have been well had the infuriat- ed mob confined their attentions to the headdresB of the Ferringhee but unfortun- ately in more than one inatance it had al- ready been directed againat their peraona, for here and there a knife or other rude weapon waa brandished in air that waa blood covered, and as Toulb* Paaha urged his horse along with whatspeed ho waa able, owing to the crowded condition of the streeta, he beheld a well known usurer who was trying to slink along unperceived tc his place of business, anddenly aet upon with loud and bitter curses, jostled into a side al- ley, and there dispatcned with a aoore at least of Btaba, his belly being finally out open and hia bowels dragged forth. It waa so ghastly a sight that even the fierce Tonlba felt sick at heart. But another ten minutes brought him to the barracks, and half an hour later the black soldiers f AH Bey Fehmy's regiment were patroling the streeta and reatoring them to something like order. The hell broth had, however, already begun to boil and to lift the lid, and every Euro- pean in Cairo felt that ere long It might boilnver, and, Btrcandng down on the out- aide of the cauldron, put out the fire of their lives for they soon learnt that the war minister waa raaater of the whole aitnation, and their protector, the Khedive, virtually a prisoner in his own palace and though they felt that if they were massacred their respective countries would avenge them, snch a conviction failed to give entire satis- faction or, indeed, in the majority of in- stances, any aatiafaction at all. True, the temporary quietude that was brought about by the p^tfoiing of the negro infantry restored some faint degree of con- fidence to their breasts, but even thia waa lost again when every European house, shop, bank and other plaoea of bnsineaa and residences were entered by the soldiery to search for arm«, an order having gone forth that no European should be all jwed to retain tmy rpeoies of Jif^-da troyirg weapons in his possession, lest he should be tempted to use it against superior numbers and ao court hia own deatruction. " But how shall we protect our lives and those of our wives and children if they are really menaced?" waa the question often put, but the answer al vaya took some snch form aa " We are appointed to defend you That ia our business. You have nothing to do wich snch things." And thote who were so addressed could see that their defenders hated them every bit as much as the populace did, and that the unwelcome commands ef their ofiScera alone induced them to do that for which in heart they were wholly disinclined. So the trusty weafons, if they could not be concealed, wsre given np, with many and sore misgivings, tVelr owners mutely and almost despairingly wondering what would happen next. Mr, Trez^rr adopted another method for hia own, and his family's safety, for after having made hia bank aa temporarily aecure as possible, he took advantage of the soldiery patroling the streets to drive direct to the war office, in orrer, firstly, to obtain special written permission from the minster to carry whatever weapons he liked and to arm hia servants, also secondly, to remind him of the offer of military protection, both for his home and bank, which hia wife had won from him in the. morning. " Military protection for the bank yon shall have, my dear, air,' replied Arabi blandly, " but for your private mansion it ia now out of the question, Circnmstancea have altogether altered cases and if I ^ere to grant tu3h a faver unto yau, how could I refuse it to others Added to which I have at present barely enough troops in the city to keep the mob under, for th5 same always rises to the auriace in timea of popular commotion. As I am most anxious, however, for the safety of my sffianced wife, and of course her parents aa *ell, yon had better, servants and all. remove to my palace, where you will be quite secure from all harm." This offer of the war miniater Mr. Trez- zarr at once accepted. (to BK CONTINUED,) laSOELL/LirEOUS ITEMS. A prince among mUlionairea haa paaaed away in tlie death of Vanderbilt.

One of the noveltlea of the religlona com- munity in London, lingland. ia tiie appear- anoe in the pulpit of a lady preacher. Mlaa Finkelatain ia the name of the intereat' ing paraon. and ahe ia aald to have come from the Holy Landa. On Sunday laat ahe oocupied the pulpit of Mr. Joaeph Parker, City Temple. She ia deaoribed aa plump and roay, wearing very faaoinating and co- quettish garmenta. Her hat waa high, a jaunty feather waving from the top and her tightiy cut j acket appeara to have reveal- ed the charming curvea and the imperi«ua graoea of her figure. The female portion of the congregation appeara to diaapprove of the portly paraon, but there ia no word of proteat by the other aex. Atfaeiam gives to ita believera but little cheer and comfort in lieu of the hope of im- mortality of Chriatianlty. CoL Bob Ing«r- BoU, now reoognlzed aa the ableat exponent of the Agaoatica. in one of hia recent New York lecturea thus givea alont all the rea- aoa for the hope that ia within him of the life which ia to come: â€" "You ask me what about immortality I anawer frank- ly, I don't know. Immortality is the grand- est thought that haa ever found space and aoope in the human brain. Let ua hope for the beat. That'a all I can aay." A dark and doublful creed, truly I Chriatianlty inspirea ita believers with tbe grandeat hope of the great hereafter, and inapired by it men have cheerfully laid down their Uvea on earth when duty appeared to point to such a sacrifice. Atheism would atrip men of all such confident aasurance, and in ita atead aubatitute the "I don't know" to the anx- ioua enquirer. The New York Tribune ia not to-day the grand, outspoken journal that it was in the days of Horace Greely. ita great founder, but ita editorial columns yet contain many wholesome utteranues. Writing recently of the real wrong done to the nation by some of ita beat citizena it well said â€" " It ia not by the political rascala and vote awindlnra that the very existence of self-government in this country is threatened, but by reput- able, decent and good citizena. Does any one aak how Bscanse they austain the men who comsiit fraud, Becanae, however notor- ious and shamt-Iess frauds may be, the repu- table men of the Democratic party still up- hold them and are indifferent to them, oi ex- pend their first natural indignation in strong words, and then forget all about them, and support the same men next time, Unleaa good citizena change their mode of treating men who are guilty of political frauds, no improvement can be expected. On the con- trary, the conntry must travel the down- ward road with ever accelerating rapidity." We do not pretend to decide how well these remarks may apply to the good men of the Great Republic, but there need be no doubt that, with very little variation, they are well adapted to the position now taken by hundreds of otherwise very worthy men in Canada. It ia truly astoniahing how eas- ily the honorable elector will wink at what is dishonorable and mean in his party candi- date. Unfortunately the remark holds good of the electors of both parties here. Proba- bly it does across the border ai well. The best interests of the country must inevitably suffer from such a course, and true patriot- ism ought to prevent electors from support- ing and countenancing wrorg doing, no mat- ter what party tbe meu may be connected with who are guilty of it. Mr. Vanderbilt" s WiU. Mr. Yanderbilfa will will attract wide- spread interest as the most important in a financial sense ever offered for probate. It is drawn with the moat painstaking care and contains indisputable evidence of the testa- tor's deliberate purpose of providing equit- ably for all hia heirs and avoiding grounds for dissatisfaction and litigation. Each of the eig'at children haa a bequest of $10,000,- 000 -$5 000,000 outright and the remainder held in trust by the four sons. The oldest son has an additional bequest of $2,000,000 and his oldest aon one ot $1000 000. Tne widow haa an annuity of $200,000 in addi- tion to the reaidenee where the millionaire died, and all the paintings, statuary and works' of art. The remainder of the estate, after $1,000,000 has been reserved for pub- lic and charitable objects and a luge num- ber of minor bequests have been made, ia divided equally between the two oldeat sons, Comelina and William K, Vanderbilt. The practical management of thia vaat ea- tate is thtia left in the handa of the two heira conspicuous for executive ability, con- aervative inatincta and atability of character. Mr. Depew, who la one of the two admlnia- tratora, haa atated that the chief heira have agreed to keep the railroad aeouritiea to- gether under t^e management of the two oldeat aona. Thia will impart unity to the control and direction of thia immenae prop- perty. and the irreproachable reputation which each of them beara ia a guarantee that thia truat will be executed in accord- ance with Bound buaineaa prinoiplea. Among the general bequeats are generona gifta to Vanderbilt Unlveraity, the Metro- politan Muaenm. the Young Men'a Chria- tian Aaaociatton. the Dcmeatic and Foreign Miaaionary Sooietiea of the Proteatant E^ oopal Church. St, Luke'a Hospital and many other inatitationa and aooieties. The be- queata under thia head aggregate $1,000,000.

Among the many meana by which we aeek to guard ouraelves from the effects of chill there ia one which hardly, even now, re- ed vea anffioient attention â€" the use of wool- en underolothing, exsept in the hotteat weather. The majority of peraona of the male box do, indeed, show their appreciation of ita wholesome qualities but there re- mains a considerable moiety of theae, and a greater nnmber of women and children, who prefer an uudersuit of smooth, but relati^e- y meager, linen. Yet the suparior advant- lagea of wearing wool next the akin are ead- ly apparent. They do not depend merely on its greater warmth and cloaeneaa of ap- plication. It is further capable, according to ita texture and by virtue of its composi- tion, of better adaptation, in respect to tem- perature, to the needs of various dimatea and the changes of seasons than any other dress material. Moreover, it exhihita a special faculty for absorbing and distribut- ing moisture. It is this property especially which renders it the natural next covering of the constantly perapiring akin. Women, as well as men, we repeat, but above all children and the aged, who are alike par- ticularly apt to take cold, ahould certainly adopt a woolen material for their cuatomaiy undergarment. It is easily poaaible to ad- juat the texture to the aeason, ao that it ahall be warm enough in winter and not too warm in summer. Never Mind. What* a theuTC of always trettiog.
