ToM ree she mentioned the name of a countess—none other than the Countess Dad- ley. Tneed not tell you that Lady Dudley has never even seen the imposter, but of course the use of her name has given her no littie an- noyance. Lord Dudley is furious about it, and with reason, for his wife's name has been made the means of obtaining money by fraud- ulent pretences from numbers of women. Once more, however, the hardened old sinner Rachel is in the hands of the law, and this time it will fare il! with her. She is quite undeserving of any sympathy, for I believe that enameling was on. y part of her trade, and the Jeast objectionable part. One of her daughters is a vocalist, now on the stage, and in that way probably the mother contrived to make acquaintance with Mrs. Pierce.

A more formal, unterpsichorean dance cannot well be imagined. TheirGerman and Belgian majesties, together with the hewly-married couples, being seated on the dais in front of the throne, the-other royal personages ranged themselves on both sides, the ladies on the right and the gentlemen on the left. . his preliminary duly settled, the Prussian cabinet ministers, headed by Prince Salm, the grand marshal of the court, approached the emperor. Carrying immense lighted wax tap- ers in their hands they bowed before his maj- esty and turned to the right. On this the newly-married couples rose and made the cireuit of the hall, the ministers going before them and the band playing a polonai ise com- sed for the occasion. ‘The first circuit over, he emperor got up and went round with the brides; next it was the empress’ turn to conduct the bridegrooms over the same ground. Then the other royalties, one by one, came in for thejr share’ of the pageant, till at last every royal lady present had danced, as it is euphemis tical called, with the twe bridegrooms, any every Prince with the two brides. To com. plete this cycle no Jess than twenty-two cir- cuits were required. The brides or bride- grooms figured only altervately; but the cabi- net ministers, undergoing au éven worse in- ntti lighted the path at every successive uu round. Prince Bismarck did_not take part in this laborious ceremony. The papers have once and again discussed the question whether it would not be practicable to deviate from the ancient usage and entrust the hymenial torch to chamberlains.

It was a sad sight,and Sami Bey told us what a calamity this bad Nile meant to Egypt. E When the Nile rises in its season and floods the fields, only departing when it leaves the richness that it brought all the ay, irom Cen- tal Africa, then Egypt is rich. The ground teems with fatness, and I could well believe Sami Bey when he told us how he had ridden from the river bank to the town through fields of corn and sugar cane, through fields of way- ing, living, joyous green. To-day the fields a rehed and brown and cracked. The irigating ditches are dry. You see the stalk ‘stumps of the last season‘s crop. But with the exception of a few clusters of the castor bean, and some weary droop lag date palns, the earth gives forth no fruit. . A gust of sand blows over the plain and adds to the somberness of the scene. Here are hun- dreds of thousands of acres which, ina good year, would give generous crops. Now they give nothing, and the people who till them must be fed. A bad Nile, therefore, means bad times for the people and bad times for the overnment., For when there are no crops here are no taxes, and even an Egyptian tas! master could not force barren flelds to pa: revenue to the Khedive’s treasury. It is safe to say thata bad Nile costs Egypt millions and millions of dollars. e The people must live on last year’s grain and instead of helping the government must be helped by the government.
