Colston, formerly a bey im Egypt, contributes the opening illuatrated article in the March Century, from 'which we quote the following description of a portion of the present seat of war: "He who has never trav eled through the desert cannot form a just idea of that strange and marvellous regiotf, in which all the ordinary condi tions of life are completely changed. It is essentially a waterless land, with out river3, creeks, rivulets, or springs. Once away from the Nile, the only sup ply of water is derived from deep wells, few, scanty and far apart.

State - IJnes. , ; The indigriatioL apparently genuine, certainly vehement that' )s expressed by some democratic politicians because "their States have been! jignored? by President Cleveland in his Cabinet ap pointments exhibits a very distorted conception of the relations, of the fed eral government to the States. What has a Cabinet officer to do that should properly make his resident in a partic ular State an advantage to, that State over the others ? Absolutely nothing. Therefore, if there is any substance to the complaints of these politicians, it must be Jhat?

President Cleveland has not been in different to geographical situation. The geographical centre of the population of the United States I is not tar from Cincinnati. Looking! at j his Cabinet appointments in their distribution re latively to this pointj four (those of Ehdiott, Manning, Vilas and Whit ney) have been made from the rorth, and' three (those of Bayard, Garland and Lamar) from the South; and the same proportion holds as to the other cardinal points of the compass from the centre of population, three secreta ries (Garland, Lamar, Yilas) having been taken from the West, and four (Bayard, Endicott, Manning and Whitney) trom the East. Thomas Jefferson - will! be acknowl edged by all these democratic com plainants to have been a sound democrat. Ana yec, in training nis i,aDinei wnen he became President in March, 1801, Jefferson took three of its five members from the single State of Massachusetts Samuel Dexter, Secretary of the Treas ury ; Henry Dearborn, Secretary of War, and Levi Lincoln, Attorney breneral. The Postmaster General did not become a Cabinet officer till President Jackson's time, and the first Secretary of the In- tenor was President Taylor s. And to aggravate; this inequality Massachusetts did not! cast her electoral votes for Jefferson in 1800, but for John Adams; nor when the election was thrown into the House of Representa tives by the tie in electoral college was the vote of Massachusetts cast for Jef ferson even then, but for Aaron Burr.' If State boundaries and State votes in the Presidential elections should cot- trol the selection of Cabinet officers, this surely makes out a niuch stronger case against Jefferson than the partisans of that theory can make out against President Cleveland. But, nevertheless, the principles and practices of Jefferson are set up constantly for the shibboleths of the democratic party. Why revile Cleveland in this matter and continue to worship Jefferson at the same time? K. Y. Iferald. Inquiries Respecting? Apprenticc- ship. The Bureau of Education, Department of the Interior, Washington, !? making what promises to bea very valuable in vestigation, as may be seen by the .fol lowing circular: One of the vital questions affecting the present maintenance and future de velopment of American manufacturing industries is the question how employers are to secure an adequate supply of well trained mechanics.'. The apprenticeship system of the past, more or less modifi- j x - j . . 1 " , 1 ww meet moaern requirements, has hitherto beenlmrisTelttmsively relied uponTWhile in practice that system is gradually becoming obsolete, there is a growing belief among specialists whtf have studied the subject that'the system itself has survived its effective usefulness and that the manual labor school is destined to supplant it. : In order to reach a settled conviction on this important subject, however, it will be necessary to bring ' together a con siderable amount of trustworthy in formation; and the accompanying in quiries, to which your attention is re spectfully invited, have been prepared with the view of collecting the needed data. When a sufficient number of re plies shall have been received to war rant inferances from the facts, the re sult will be published in a special re port On Apprenticeship and Manuel Labor in Schools. Issued by this office in two parts, the first of these will con tain a compilation of the apprenticeship laws and decisions thereunder, a brief discussion of apprenticeship at the com mon law, and a succinct history of the rise, growth, and decay of the system. The last portion of the first volume will contain a resume and analysis of the replies that may be received to the ac companing questions. The second part of the work will give an account of the attempts in this and other countries to provide trade schools fitted to take the place hitherto filled by the apprentice ship system, and will discuss the vari ous degrees of success which have at tended such efforts."

Graham had with the rebels last week seems to have been hotly contested and of more importance than at first reported. ; An acconut from Loudon says : "The battle between the British troops and Osmati Digna's forces lasted five hours. The marines? were first sent to the front to drive Arabs from the hill west of Hasheen. As soon as possible they were reinforced by batteries of Gatdner and Krupp guns and by cavalry. There was a hot engagenient for a few hours, during : Which the British cavalry charged repeatedly on the Arabs, while the machine gons were ! worked with deadly effect whenever their fire could be made available. Great bravery was displayed on both sides. At the end of the engagement the Arabs retreated slow ly towards Tamai. The Arabs loss in killed and wounded is estimated at 500. The loss of the British is 40. The Arabs displayed desperate brayeiy. 'The marines drove the Arabs from the hills and forred jt'iem to retire to the pliiin. Then the Indian troops charged upon the Arab positiou, but were outflanked, and an un suspected body of Arabs succeeded in getting behind their Hues, The Indians found themselves between two fires arid they fled. During this retreat they were closely pressed by the Arabs, who ham strung the horses . and speared the riders." A Man With Many Medals.
