I was going to ask Jennie to stop running, for I was getting out of breath, when suddenly some obhtacle in the path struck our feet from under us.

She' made a great effort to control herself and to get upon her feet. I took hold of her to try and help her. But no sooner did she at tempt to raise herself than she fell back with a little cry of pain, and then began to laugh agaiu in the same distressful manner. "I can't," she said. "It is my foot, Phoebe. The cow trod upon it, and I cannot stir. What shall I do ?" By this time I had caught her excite ment, aud was near to giggling as in sanely as she. "What shall we do?" I echoed. But now there was approaching steps upon the walk that we both heard. Jen nie knew them in a minute, and that minute restored her to herself. Thtebe," she said, firmly, "I will tell you what we must do. You must run home and tell father to come with the wagon. I will creep up here off the road side, and keep perfectly still, and nobody will know I am here till you come back. " "But I cannot leave you alone so badly hurt. I cannot, Jennie !" "Please, Phoebe ! please hurry, dear ! Somebody is coming !" "I am glad of it," said I. "Somebody ought to come and help us." "But, Phcebe, Phoebe do not let them find us it is John !" "I don't care if it is, I'm glad of it, and just remember, if he was going over to East Side with Jessie Sears he'd not be here now. You ve been too quick, Jennie; there's some mistake." Poor Jenuie could only give a little moan. of pain for answer. Her ankle waa beginning to hurt her badly. Little as her moan was, John was near enough to catch it, for that instant we heard his anxious voice calling : 'Girls ! l'hoebe. Jennie, are you there ?" There was silence for a moment, and then I spoke out : "Yes, John, we are here, and we want you." "You want me I What is the matter ? What made you run away from me ? I got out as fast as 1 could o catch, up with vou. Dear! how troubled and how kind, and how full of comfort, too, his fa miliar old voice sounded. "I'm so glad yon have come !" I cried. "Jennie is hurt." "Jennie hurt !" Ah ! you should have heard the tone of his voice when he said that. I almost felt as if I ought not to be there to hear it. Why, there couldn't have been more feeling in his voice if she had been his sister and mother and wife and child all in one !

He spoke right 0Tit Tike a man to the silent cry ot the heart. "My darling," he said, "my darling, what is the mat ter?" That was more than she could bear jast then; she wavered as she sat, and fell back in a dead faint.

The Mahdi, or Prophet, had begun to make progress in the Soudan before Englifcu authority became prac'i.caliy supreme in Egypt by the battled Tel el Kebir. The Egyptian, Grvernment could not make up its miad to abandon this vast region to him or tf chance, while at the same time it hadreither the moral energy nor the materia force in men and money adequate to' eMst him, and re conquer the territorial which were yield ing to hun, oratleaafctscaping from their control. They dyfatched some troop thither and pJJj tbom nnder English office uameaHitkB The re sentatiyes and ftt Cai were fa struct by the English Ministry not to inter. ere with the action of the Egyptian Government in the matter. Advice was sometimes given; more frequently it was not given, but whenever the subject was mentioned an emphatie declaration was made that England had nothing to do with the Soudan, and that the Khe dive and his ministers must act on their own responsibility. Neither Mr. Glad stone's Cabinet, nor Sir E. Baring, seem to have doubted for a moment that the proper conrse was to abandon the Soudan altogether, and withdraw the Egyptian frontier to a place called Wady Haifa, or even to Assnan. That they refused to force this opinion on the Khe dive was owing to their resolve to make their occupation of Egpyt purely tempo rary, and let the Khedive's Government stand alone as soon as it was possible for them to do so. In November the catastrophe came. Hicks's army in the Sondan was anni hilated. It was plain that Egypt could not, of herself, reconquer the country. The question arose whether England should intervene by sending English or Indian troops either to re establish Egyptian authority and hold Khartoum, or atleast to insure the safe withdrawal of such garrisons as remained in the country. Fearing that to send troops would involve the permanent oc cupation of part of the Sondan, and the creation of an English empire in Equa torial Africa, Mr. Gladstone's Cabinet refused to do so, but went so far as to to advise the Egyptian Ministry to with draw its garrisons and abandon the Soudan. When, after much delay, it appeared that the Egyptian Ministry would not follow this advice, England went a step further, quitted her attitude of irresponsibility, and, early in January, told the Khedive that if his ministers would not comply with her wishes he must dismiss them. He did so, and the present Ministry of Nubar Pasha came in to obey her directions. But mean while time had been lost. The position of Khartoum had become much more perilous. Although the Europeaus there have no claim upon England, since they went out either in the service of the Egyptian government or as traders or their own account, public sympathy was roused on their behalf, and the feeling grew stronger and stronger that the British government ought to take some steps to rescue them. The newspapers cried out for this, and that large cinss who had all along desired that England should strengthen her hold on Egypt, and proclaim a formal pro tectorate over it, swelled the cry for in tervention in the Soudan, because they saw that the more she committed her self there the less could she forsake Egypt. There was soon a cry for the dispatch oi General Gordon, the one Englishman whose knowledge of the country as well as his military gifts and personal daring, pointed him out as tho man for the crisis. The English Government pro posed to the Egyptian Ministry to em ploy him, but the objections raised by the latter took some time to overcome, so that it was not till the end of January that he started. Meanwhile a new source of anxiety started up on the coasts of the Red Sea. Baker Pasha commanded a body of Egyptian troops there. He was attacked by a band of natives, Mohammedan Soudanese, half black, half Arab in blood, who had come down from the Mahdi's main forces, and so crushingly defeated him that he had to escape to the port of Suakim, of Untish vessels give sorae protection. The news 6lTlrin'lfS feat reached England on the very even- lnor when Parliament met. and ciouded the spirits of the Government. It was quite unexpected, for his force was sup posed to be more than a match for any antagonist; but it seemed to seal the late of the Red Sea garrisons, who were now left without prospect ot rebel. Impa tience and irritation rose higher in Eug land. The defeat and the impending destruction of the garrison were attrib uted to the sluggishness or timidity of the Government, which ought, it is said, to have long ago dispatched troops from India to the Red Sea coast and prepared to relieve Khartoum by a forced march across the desert. This was the state of feeling which en couraged Sir Stafford Northcote to move his vote ot censure, xne tensioD was little relieved by the mteuigence oi wen. Red Sea coast, and the slaughter of garrison. ... . The effoct of all this nas been to pro- a,ice among the Liberals a feeling made ,in lioth of mortified pride and impa- tience, which has grown keener and keener as week after week has passed without decisive action on the part .of the Government. xney are vexeu u a responsionny wuicu me iro.ciu. linn evemnaiiy aBeuimsi uumu , u,c been assnmed sooner, when the nusfor- tuue8 which nave Deianen migui. uvC averted.

Ike S.r.r.t jl the Jtmmneue A Rrmxe OIBc-r wha Did Ilia Waale Daly. Among the dead of the Jeannette, brought home to find a restiae place, was Dr. James M. AmUer. Melville, when asked by the court whom of the expedition he would specially commend for his lhavior, promptly replied : "Dr. Ambler," and he was unstinted in his praise of him. Daring the famous re treat over the ice Ambler was one of th.i leading spirits. He harnessed two half, starved Esquimaux dogs to a aled of his own contriving, on which were Lushed the I m-'Heal instruments, medical sxores and them to follow in the rear with the sic. tor took his place in advance day after day, as chief of the rcadniakurs. He wielded a heavy sledge hammer like a Hercules, breaking down ice hummocks to level a road for the boats. It was re lated of him that he invariably, when the day's work began, tool!fP" the heaviest of the sledges, thus setting an encour aging example to the men. We see him laying this down for a moment to per form an iridectomy, one of the most delicate operations in eye surgery. After Da Long's beats had reached the Lena Delta, and failing to find succor for three weeks or longer, the commander decided to send two of the strongest of his party in advance to 6eek aid. The main body traveled very slowly, most of them being scarcely able to walk at all, aud having to transport the sick. D? Long was able to walk only for five maintes at a time. Ambler was the stroi t" t of the party, and the commanding otiioer selected him and Nindeman to go on ahead for succor and to save their own lives, if Kissible, both of them lieing able for a long march. When this was communicated to the doctor he told his commander that he thought he ought not to leave his sick, as he preferred to share their fortunes 10 the end, and his going away would look like abandoning them. This doubtless touched the gallant De Long, whose first thought seems ever to have been his high duty to those under his command. .Noros was then sent in Ambler s steau and his life was saved. Ambler remaiued with his sick comrades to the last and died with them. It is doubtful if the medical profeasion affords anywhere a finer example of heroism than this. Im prisoned on board an iee-lound ship for twenty-two months, a painful retreat over weary miles of rough ice, with half frozen hands and feet, then wandering about on unknown shore for three weeks, reduced to a mere struggle for existence, yet not for a moment was blunted his keen sense of professional duty. Mel ville, who found the bodies, is of the opinion that Ambler was the last one to die. His frozen body was found in a sitting attitude, clothed in many suits of extra clothing, seizing in his right hand De Long's pistol, taken from his dead commander's pocket; in solemn and faithful guard over his dead comrades. None will ever know the dreadful extent of his sufferings dnring those last hours, or possibly days, of his life, alone with his dead, starving, exhausted and hope less. Faithful messengers seut by his grateful country have brought home the mortal remains of this noble son to an aged mother, to lie afc-rt-t in his own vil lage churchyard in Fancier county. Va. Peace to him and her, uvl honor to the memory of this noble surgeon whose life was given to his country and his duty ! A REMARKABLE WOMAN. The Story of Katie MrDonnell Shot by Her I.over. From the New York World. It has become the habit in these days to rank men and women as heroes and heroines 9n small provocation. The title has been accorded to many persons less worthy of it than Katie McDonnell, the young nursemaid who was shot by her drunken suitor Sunday night. Katie evidently has remarkable will power as well as a loving nature. This is shown by the fact that while she had given her affections to Dennis Hennelly, the brute who attempted to t.ke her life, she listened to the advice of her brothers and refused to marry him until he had reformed his bad habits. It was for this refusal that he shot her at the door of the house in which she was in service. Dangerously if not fatally wounded, Katie did not shriek and fall as an ordinary woman would have done. She knew that the ruflSin would have completed his work had he supposed her to be wounded, so she told him she was not hit, and besought him to run away to avoid ar rest. Then she entered the house, fell at the top of the stairs, quickly recovered Ktpf.Ax-m her8er. s- a chair. Bnc.r. T? I, .

THE FHEMDETI I. HEN HOI E. The laa Waa Khwi W arre la Flad Slalra Nrai. Ike From r.-k't Sun. There is no answer that was ever re ceived to a question, that contains more sarcasm, than that received by a man who asked what business a well-dressed gentleman of leisure wss in. "What business is he in," says the party que, tioued. "Oh, I believe his wife is dressmaker." The question is ofter asked by visitors to Fremont, Ohio What business is ex-President Haye in at ptt?Lu-Z- and tDe answer in van ablyia: "Iliswife kWps hens." TA'pl who are offended to aee the husliand V' a dressmaker, or lady engaged iu otht respectable business, loanng the uapp a hours away, should not confound Mr. Haves with anv such person. The fact of Mrs. Hayes going into the hen trade, is no reflection npon her husband, and be is a great help to her, as he was when she was President Those who have visited Fremont say they do not know what the laly would do without Mr. Hayes. He knows all of the hens by name, and can tell at a glance w hich are the best providers of eggs. There is perhaps, no man in this eonntry who is a more successful hunter of hen's eggs than Mr. Hayes. A hen cannot deceive him. He seems to know instinctively when a hen has put up a job to go oil somewhere, to a retired spot and "steal her nest, as the say ingis, and he watches the hen. He does not follow the hen directly, as some lest, brainy man would do, and thus arouse th suspicions of the deceptive fowl, but seems to go off the other way, though his eye is upon that hen. It is said to be an interesting sight to see a hen wandering off down amoug the gooseberry bushes, clucking and dig ging for worms, as though she had no thought of deceiving her benefactor, aud Mr. liaves walking the other way, whis tling, "We'll never miss the water till the well runs dry, and not appearing to notice the hen. Suddenly the hen dis appears and goes under a bush and lays au egg. It is then that Mr. Hayes gives play to the massive braiu that he has constantly concealed about his persnn. He makes no memorandum but keeps in his head the location of every such nest Some men would go right to the hen, catch her in the act and accuse her to her face of duplicity and double dealing but Mr. Hayes is not that kind of a man. When the hen comes back to the lieu house ho does not show any signs of chagrin to the hen. Does not look at her as much as to say: "I am onto your scheme, old lady," but treats her just the same as any other hen, thus disarm ing her of all suspicion that her little plot is discovered. But the next day, after the miserable hen has laid her second egg and gone away, the ex-President goes to the nest and takes one of the eggs, and so on each day, the hen. who is not good at mathematics, think ing she is laying np treasures where neither moth, nor rust, nor ex-Presidents doth corrupt After a hen has laid a dozen or so eggs thus, and begins to think of setting, she looks at the result of her labors, and decides that it is the work of an incendiary aod gives up the job. The ex-President is said to be one of the most expert hen detectives in this country, and Mrs. Hayes would not be without him for the world. He is as valuable, also, in feeding the hens. It is alleged that he can make a bushel of corn go further in a flock of hens than any man in Ohio, and woe be to any hen that attempts to play any hog game on Rutherford B. He singles ont such a hen, and while he says very little to her, the stern look on his face is enough to cause any hen to even wish she were dead. His political experience has been valuable to him in his present occupa tion. Not Jong ago there was an old rooster in the floak that claimed he was the boss, and tried to take the position of leader, but Mr. Hayes organized an eight to seven commission, composed of fifteen roosters, eight of which had been edu cated by Mr. Hayes, and the objection able rooster was bounced so quick it made his head swim. There is no sight that is pleasauter at Fremont than to see Mr. Hayes come to town with his little basket of eggs, and trade them off for a drawing of tea and a few other simple needs of the household. It is always a comfort to a nation to see one of its rulers, who is retired to private life, make himself generally useful, and this great and good man will need no monument, as his name will go down to history as the greatest hen man the world has ever seen. How Plate-Glass I Made. To cast, roll, polish and burnish plate glass requires machinery, of special con struction and a "plant" that is costly by reason of its complex nature. The pour ing of liquid glass from the furnace upon the cast-iron plate, and the subsequent rolling are processes comparatively sim ple. Any house-keeper who has used a rolling-pin on a batch of pie- crust dongh performs an operation very similar to this stage of plate-glass making. It is the succeeding processes of grind ing and polishing and burnishing that require the time and costly mechanism. After leaving the eolls and bed plate the glass is rippled a id rough, and only fit for grating and skylights. Each plate must be transferred to machines that re semble tho turn-tables of a railway. On that revolving platform the glass is ce mented in a bed of plaster of Paris and the machine started. Bearing heavily on the surface of the glass are blocks of metal, and while in motion the surfaces are supplied with sharp sand and a con stant stream of water. The next stage of the glass-grinding process is the same as to machinery, but instead of sand coarse emery is used. The finer emery is used on another re volving table, and so on for half a dozen times. The final polishing is done by heavy reciprocating devices fd with rouge, and maintaining a constant back ward and forward motion, and also lateral movement over the surface of the crystal. All this requires the assistance of a large force of men. many of them skilled laborers. The Bright Light. A European journal relates that a few months since workmen employed upon some constructions on the bank of the river Dnieper, in Cena-al Russia, em ployed the electric light to enable them to prosecute their labors at night The brilliant rays or light attracted so many millions of nocturnal moths, beetles and other insects, that from time to time it was necessary to stop work and set all hands to destroying the clonds of winged victims that frequently completely ob scured the light This suggested the idea of employing the electric light to destroy nocturnal insects prejudicial to agriculture, and experiments in that direction are to be tried next spring. Not only to insects, but to fish, the light proved fatally attractive. Its rays, directed to the surface of the water, draw together vast quantities of all the fishes found in the Dnieper, and when within the charmed field of illumination they lay crowded together in masses, seem ingly blinded and stupefied. The work men improving the opportunity, made a notable haul of fish. ThouirhU From IWcber'i Srrmon. "Be not overcome of evil, but over come evil with good," waa Mr. Beechrra text Sunday morning. Sme t4 th more striking passage iu the craon are given below. "In autue respects th New Testament is the blossom of the Old, but in some rwpecU it is as unlike the Old as the fruit of the trw is nu'ike the roof." "In the Old Testament wlf-defence ; in the New Testament suffering rather than self-defence." "I he acting force in the New Testa ment is no longer basilar, but coronal." "The distinctive doctrine of the New Testament the doctrine which repre sents the acting force or genius of Christianity is that kindness is the trne way of acting against evil." "Can we sejierate the two so as to hate evil and not hate the evil doer? If I am waked up by the cry of my child in the hands of a rohlier or murderer I .-Jiall work by the law of hatred just long eueVKh to kill the assailant, but I ruut not c?firih hatred a moment longer." "There"5. mean, sneaking, venomous hatred that xS ont of some men all the time. I donVthiuk there is auy toad or any homed snake so repuhuve. And yet Clirist says, 'Lovl him; do him good That settles the ounfNywsj-" "Never let evil lose its coIor8;ypr garnish it; never get used dally with it." "No man should suffer himself to he iu this pitiful world whatever he can bring up from his youth from the untainted, fresh regions of the conn- try." "That man is aroif whose conscience is to let aud runs equally well under all circumstances." "Mud on whiteness is a great deal more apparent tliHU mud on grayuess or blackness. Nowhere else iu the world is evil more conspicuous than in religious circles." "There never has been in this world, in jHilitics or in business, greater viola tions of the spirit of the New Testament than in organized forms of religon." "Oh! how good must somelody or other be in the churches that God should tolerate themat all." "Some men hate from a sense of duty." "We are in danger of losing the sense of the evil of wickedness by being lolished." "A hound's nose is better than a man's conscience half the time. The dog smells evil. Yon might at least attain to the grace of a hound's nose in the dis cernment of what is right or wrong." "Christians are frequently like folks that have brushes and a pallette, but not much paint, and when they undertake to establish good and overcome evil, tho qualities the pigments are wautiug. The languid," low toued color ot good ness will never overcome anything. It must be positive, full blooded, radiaut as an angel."' "God employed asses of old, and he evidently employs them still." "Men may hate error without loving truth. A man hates error with the bot tom of his braiu; he loves truth with the top of his braiu." "No man ever yet made one single thing grow by the storms of winter, and nothing on earth can prevent things growing under the sweet influence of the summer sun." Mullagatawny Soup; A lesson in soups was given hi Miss Parloa's cooking school, New York, aud white stock, mnllagatawny, lmnillon and consomme were prepared before the class. White soup was first made. To four pounds of veal, which had lieen sim mered in a gallon of water for four hours, was added half an onion, a pars nip, a turnip and a stick of cinnamon. The soup was then cooked one hour longer, and strained through a sieve when it was ready to be served. In the preparation of mnllagatawny, a fowl weighing three pounds, throe pounds of can veal, two large onions, two large slices of carrots, four stalks of celery, three tablespoonfuls of butter, one tablespoonful of curry-powder, four tablespoonfuls of Hour, salt and pepper, and five quarts of water were used. A piece of chicken fat, equal t two table spoonfuls, was taken from the chicken and melted in the soup-pot. The vege tables, which were cut fine, were put in the soup-pot and cooked twenty minutes with frequent stirring, men the veal was added, and the whole was cooked fifteen minutes longer; then the chicken and water were added. 1 he soup was skimmed and set tack where it wonld simmer slowly four hours. When the chicken was tender it was removed and pet one side, vhile the sonp cooked. After the soup was boiled the butter was melted in a fiing-pan, and the dry flour stirred in til! the whole was a rich brown, -f VUciirry-powder was added and it was removed Iron the stove. This mix ture was stirred into Via soup and it was then cooked half an hour longer. Then it was strained and returned to the soups kettle and the chicken was cut in small bits. Seasoning of salt and pepper wag added and the soup simmered thirty minutes longer. He Didn't Believe It. A private banker in a town in Wiscon sin received a call a few days ago from a stranger, who deposited 810, and then turned around and asked the banker for a loan of $T0. "Why, sir, I can't lend you any money," replied the banker. "I think yon can. Please take time for reflection." "I don't want to reflect upon the sub ject, sir." "Would a ran on this bank damage yon $50 worth ?" "There will he no rnn here." "Suppose there was?" "It is too absurd to suppose. Good day, sir !" The stranger walked ont doors, and the bank closed for the day. He entered a grocery and stated that he was a de positor, and asked if the bank was sound. He entered a dry goods store and asked if the hard times might not pinch the bank. He entered a drag store and offered his certificate of de posit for $5. He met a lawyer and in quired if a receiver had been appointed to look out for the interests of deposit ors. Next morning he was at the door of the bank gesticulating and lamenting, and behind him were seventy-five or eighty citizens. Before noon the bank was cleaned out and its doors closed, and an ex-private banker was skipping out to avoid being lynched. Wall St. Xcwg. Pattf Kissed hy a Governor. Patti has been telling tales out of school, and Governor Crittenden, of Missouri, is the hero of her story. She says : "I had just finished singing 'Home. Sweet Home,' Thnrsday evening, when a nice-looking old gentleman, who in troduced himself as Governor Critten den, began congratulating me, and all ot a sudden he leaned down, put his arms around me, drew me np to him and kissed me. He said: 'Mme. Patti, I may never see yon again, and I cannot help it,' and before I knew it he was kissing me. It wonld not do to have everybody washing my face, you know; but when an old gentleman, and a nice old gentleman, too, and a governor of a great State, kisses me so quickly that one has not time to see and no time at all to object, what ean one do?"

They y men enlisted by force, kidimM-d, in a word, and shijijx-d oil' to America like convicts or swine six men to a lerth in a ship's hold. Ouce kiduaed, the oor fellows had little chance of escajie, for the ietty Priuces knew their trade as slave drivers very well. In Wurtetn burg, if a recruit eacacd or a soldi, r deserted, the whole parish was required to go iu pursuit, and in order to make their pursuit earnest and effective they were required to furnish tine of their own uniuii. r in the place of the deserter if he could rot lie caught. The clergy were required to read this order from the pulpit once a mouth, in order to im press ujKin their congregations a sense of their duty and resKiiisibihty. There were fines and imprisonment at hard labor for every one who dared lulp a fugitive, and death was the eiial(y for inducing desertion. Many of the Heasian prisoner taken by the Americans were permitted to go into the country and hire themselves out as farm laborers, and when we con sider the nature of the despotism under inch they lived at home, the ease with ' - i . : 1 t 1 . 1 . which they mg"iavou. punt.m, anu w.e abundant c.yV'",'"1', sparsely settled country "iiaefwir" improve their fortuues, it seems some what strange that so small a proportion of either the prisoners or the soldiers on duty deserted. Congress held out in ducements to them to do so, and set ac tive agencies at work to persuade them to change their allegiance. They were aesnred of exemption from military duty, and were promised lands if they wonld abandon a service to which they were s-iipposed to owe nothing but hatred. And yet, according to the lt estimate that Mr. Lowell's investiga tions have enabled him to form, only abont 5,000 of the German troojwt de serted during the entire seven years. German writers assert that there were fewer desertions from the ranks of Die mercenaries than from thosi of the British regiments, and Mr. Lowell ex plains the fact by saying that desertion was at once leas easy and leas attractive to the German than to the English soldier. A Rol.bem' t. A very sung and strong roblssrs' roost was recently discovered by a eonple of Denver citizens in a gulch near Webster, Col. They hail been visiting in the neighborhood, and on returning Lome had lost their way, and in traveling abont came across a cabin. In it waa a rude table, some chairs, a large stove, a good supply of fuel, six loaded revol vers, cartridge-belt, and several spurs. They took possession of it for the night, and fastened the heavy door with a huge bolt that fitted into slots in the logs. About midnight they were awakened by Bounds outside.
