She always called her by her first name,

MARKED FOR LIFE.
reck s Sun.
A young Milwaukee lawyer wits sit
ting in his office a few mornings ago,
wiili hit feet on the desk, thinking.
There was a vaguo suspicion in his
tniinl that in the near future he would
have a case. As he blew tho smoke
to thu ceiling, there was a rap at the
tliior. A pale young man entered and
Raid he wanted a little advice. The
lawyer told hint he l ad sttuck the
right jilace, and asked him to proceed.
" ell, what I want to know in, if a
man marks mo for life, can I collect
il a tn ii go from him ?"
Tlio lawyer said it was ' the easiest
thing in the world to collect damages in
stieli cases!.
"Then," staid tho young man, "if-a
girl goes out riding with me to a pic
nic, and xhc K,.ts! marked for life, can
she collect damage, from me?"
The lawyer scratched his head a mo
ment, looked wise, went and looked
into a copy of the revised statutes, and
an encyclopedia, and then looked into
a volume of patent ollice reports, when
lie finally expressed the opinion to the
young man that in the lattei c ise there
was no possible) show of tho girl's col
lecting daitia ves from him, and it was
ten dollars, please.
"Well," said the young man, "I
want you to commence suit against a
livery-stable keeper for ten thousand
dollars damages You see, last sum
mer I hired a team and a top buggy to
take a git 1 out to tin yacht races. On
the way out there the altnightiest
thunder hioiiu you ever saw cainu up.
It drenched us Irom head to fiet.
There wasn't a dry rag on me, and the
girl said if there was one on her she
didn't know where it was. Hut it
finally cleared ofl',and we drove around
by the bank ot lhe lake. Wo had on
while clothes. I had on a pair ot
A'hile Marseilles pants, anil the girl
had on a while muslin dross. Well,
sit, do you know when we got out,
the whole back of me was asj hlne as
itidi":). The buggy cushion was blue,
and when il got wet thu blue just fair
ly run oil', and it was lhe bluest blue
that you ever saw. Weli, I thought
the girl would die. When she stood
oil' with her back toward me, I could
think of untiling but an Ilalian sunset
of the lake of cliromo. Site- was the
bluest girl I ever saw true blue, i n I
no mistake. And my pants! When
I went away Irom her to got a better
view of the vacht race, aud to swear a
little, I must have looked to her like
some old I1 no ruin in a theater. We
didn't dare to o-,, into the hotel to din
ner, and we didn't get anything to eat, I
except a glass of beer and a piece of
sausage, which I had a Prussian biin
out to (he lutgtty. The girl frit mad
because I laughed a little at her hav-
ing the b'ties. and she wouldn't speak i
to me all the way home. We came i
into Inwn after daik, and I thought
the ull'aif would blow over, but blast
me if the blue color didn't 'set' on my
skin, and nothing will take it off. I
have trie I everything, but it is just, as
blue to il.iv as it was the night I got
hum '. I am deeply, d tiklv, beautifully
I'l in, and probably shall iie during my
natural life. Well, this is only half
the trou 'de. About a week alter we
gi t back the girl s lather came to inr
with ti gnu and asked mo what kind
ol a colored person I was. It seems
the blue was just as set in its way in
his family as it was in mine. 1 ex
plained il to him the tics' way 1 con! I,
but he said ilu re was only one repara
tion th it a man of honor could mtike
in sueh a case. Now, can you savo
in,'?'
The lawyer said he believed he
could, but he would have to look up
(he authorities, and ho took down a
"Blue l!ook'' of the legislature at.d
told the voting man to come in again
on Sal unlay, wilh ten dollars more.
It will certainly be one of the most
singular cases that has ever been be
fore our courts.

Ill ot'tler to comprehend ele.vly the
'Tlgyptiau iiiiestion," so called, ami
its material hearings, it i first neces
sary t recall brielly tho events which
have taken place within the last half
do, ut years in connection with th" ad
mini; I ration of the Egyptian Govern
ment. In tho year LSIS iho alarming
condition of lhe affairs of Egvpl, finan
cially ami administrative, called for
the intervention of thu powers of Eu
rope iu behalf of thu interests of the
holders of Egyptian bonds. England
and Franco felt that (heir supremacy
over tho Suez Canal, if not in any im
mediate peril, was, at least, likely to
be threatened. At this time the Khe
dive, Ismail I'asha, was wielding abso
lute and despolio sway over tho land.
I5y his reckless prodigality be had
brought tho country to tho brinK ef
baiiKruptey, and matters were going
from bad to worse. The' debt then
amounted to $f0,00(),O00, and was con
stantly increasing. The whole of this
amount had been incurred, in. fourteen
years. In the meantime the people
were groaning beneath a yoKe of tax
ation and tyranny that wa slavery
savo in name. England and Franco
came to tho rescue. It was intimated
to the Khedive that ho must reform
his government. Thia.be engaged to
do, saying, in a note to Englaud, that
iu his future rule ho would act in con
currenco wilh, and under tho advice of
ministers. Hut Ismal failed to carry
out his agreement, still maKing iiis
own will the law, and exercising it in
the old depoticway. Finally, iu 1378,
a high commission was appointed on
behalf sif the powers, which made in
quiry into the administration of the
government, and presented a report,
setting forth a'l that could be learned
concerning the Khedive's oppressive
rule and its ruinous effects upon the
country and the finances. Tho princi
ple was recognized that any ameliora
tion of the finances must be accompa
nied by good government.
In 1879 Ismail Khedive was compelled to
abdicate In favor of hit nephew, 7'ewllk I'asha,
the present Khetlvr, and since the areotiou
ofTcwflk tho administration of sffil t hut

land and France, with Germany, Austria and
Italy behind them. In this supeivitinn Kng

dUou In lSso, a Commission of Liquidation
was anpoinlcd. Under t'-e "Control" and the
Commission much has been accomplished In
t ie direction of ameliorating the condition of
the country. 1 his is the "status quo" which
Is to-day threatened, and which the I'ewcrs de

On the other hand, a party bus been recently
formed in Kgypt calling Itself the National
pirtv. which It led by Arabi' Bey, the .Minister
of War, and the army. Whctbt'i1 this pariy
embraces anv considerable portion of the pop
ulation is as yet an unanswered question ou -eldo
of Egypt. Arabia Bey, the army, and the
Nationals clamor for couitltutloiial govern

shafts at the "Control," wh ch has secured
for ibe people all the constitutional prlvlleget

A TocciiiNii KoMtsce. A number of yenrs
ago tome miners In Wales, In exploring an old
pit th l had Ion; been closed, found the body
of s young man dressed In a fashion long out
of date. The peculiar action of the air uf the
mine w is such as preserved lhe body to per
fectly that II appeared asleep rather than drad.
Tlie miners were pu uletl at thecirciiinsiaii. es.
No one In the district had been mi.seii within
their remembrance, an I at last it was r s dv d
to bring in lhe oldest liiliabllant-aii eld lady
long past her eightieth year, who hud livid
single In the village lhe whole of her life. On
being taken Into the presence of the body
a very string!) scene occurred. 7 ho old lady
feU on the corpse aud kissed It, and addressed
il oy eie-y term of endearment spoken in a
by gone generation. He was her onlv lore
and sno hud waited for him, during her long
life. Slie knew she had uot forsaken her. Tlie
old lady slid young man had been betrothed
sUty years before. Tho lover had disappeared
mystti'lously, and she had kept her faith dur
ing the long Interval. Time bad stood still
wl h Iho young man, but. had left Its mark on
the wain in. 7'he miners who were present
were a rough set, but very gently and with
tearful eyes they removed the oi lady to her
house, and Hist night her faithful spiiltajre -joined
Hist ot her long lost lover.

A nice, pretty, sweet girl can toll a
m m a long way off sometimes, and
m tl:e him sacrilico a power of time,
a id comfort and money; and when she
d ies it all for a purpose and then
throws him off, I shall always think
she hadn't orter. I never Was in favor
of a young girl turning tip her nose at
a clever fellow who was raised In her
noighlioi hood ami running off after an
ai y chap irom away yonder; but
wiien hn does come I think she ought
to let him go ba.'k quick and cheap or
take him I've always noticed that
when young men go slipping away to
parts unknown for a wile it's because
those girls he was raised with know
him too well and don't want him. I
didn't go half a mile for my pan! and
that showed my good sense, and she
iliitn't go no I'ui'.her than 1 did, and
that showed hern, and if I was a sensi
ble young 'r ami was waiting for a
liushaiid,I would set my c;tp for some
body, I hail knowii a long time,
bill if I was a young fool I wouldent.
The happiest marriages I know of are
those ''here the folks knowedall about
one another fur a good while, and nary
one was fooled. Romance iu love af
fairs is mighty pretty, and a solitary
horseman getling thrown from his
horse is just splendid, but all this play
out in a few months, and then comes
the facia the hard pan. Tho earth
that is earthy, and ihu heavenly van
ishes, and the baby has to bo nursed
of nights, and the sugar guts low, and
the diamond wedding ling won't bring
color to the poor wile's cheeks, and
she is away oil' from her mother and
wauls sympathy and lovo ami kind at
tention, and a good deal of it. As Mr.
L mglellow said
Life ' real, lift Is earnest.
And the 1'iiby wauls a nurse.
BY-AND-BY.
There is music enough in these three
little words for the burden of a song.
They are full of hope hope for the
future hope felt by many a human
heart hope bright and glowing in
anticipation of the joys of happy days.
' I?y and-by." Familiar words! We
heard them long ago, when but a child
ourselves, as to a baby -brother; just
iO nmeiH' n ' biief j.iitrney fiom chair
to chair, and mother said, "l!y-and-by."
"I!y-aud-by" lisped the little boy as
he looks forward to lhe time of ex
changing frocks and pantlets for trous
ers ami jacket. "Hy-and-by" thinks
the youth, as the last, term of his school
days is ended. "Ily-atnl-by" ponders
the young man while at his trade, or
in his clerkship. "By- ind by" again is
heard as his plans of life are forming.
And "Hv atnl by" whispers the maiden.
'By -anil by" and the locks are silvered
o'er.
Sometimes these words sound liko
a soiiej, sometimes like a sigh or a soli;
but "l.y-and by" has more sweetness
than sorrow. The burden of its theme
anticipation, and llhnth thrice and oft
tho reality dudes the grasp, fresh
h ipeg suei 1, and phantom liko ir.ul
fliitiug, they lure onward. Many times
have these little words beguiled us,
and still the memory of that silvery
"Hy-and-by," like the sunrise of Ossian,
is pleasant but mournful.
