Forced Labor in Egypt.
Tlio conditions ef forced labor do not
com to differ much in the different purls
if the country, Nowhere do tho labor
rs receive any pay, or food,, or shelter,
while theiv treatment by the r task-mas-
ti ls would seem to be simply brutal.
Mr. Stuart describes the system iih he
saw it in operation in the province ol
K.neh, in Upper Egypt, where a new
•anal was being excavated. A cut of
il.out eighteen foot in depth had been
made through a conglomerate of sand
mil gravel; this was llauked right and
left hv high embankments constructed of
the material removed from tho trench,
and along tho bottom and on tho slopes,
men swarmed thickly, like bees on a
honey-comb, for a distance of about ii
mile ill length.” The entire strength of
the impressuble labor in tho province,
amounting to about 40,(100 won, was
concentrated on this work. Tho men
toiled from inn rise to sunset, with the
thermometer nt 82 degrees in the shade,
having only a brief interval at midday
for a meal of bread soaked in imiilter. it
Nile water. Tbis, with a similar men!

carrying tlio excavated soil, and their
own' tools, when they used any, but most
employed tliodr fingers. Overseers walk. .1
about among them nrme.l with sticks,
with which they struck the men whil.
they were carrying loads upon tlicii
heads, often without any apparent rou
son. At night they slept upon tli
ground almost without clothing nn.l
quite without shelter, though tho nil

The Pope’s Circular.
The full text of tho Pope’s anti-Parnell
circular ns sent from Rome te Ireland is
given. His Holiness directly condemns
the Parnell testimonial fund now being
raised in Ireland and the United States,
and snvs it cannot be tolerated that any
ecclesiastic should promote it. His Holi
ness also gives a reminder of hia man
date absolutely condemning every
collection raised tc inflame popular pns-
ion or to aid rebellion, and warns the
clergv of thoir duty to curb the excited
feelings of the multitude. The news
'rom Ireland leads to the belief that this
circular of the Pope has had tho desired
effect, and that the Irish clergy have
wholly withdrawn from the political
! work in which many of them have been
1 engaged.

The liandHomo fellow bout his fne

Treviilion a man must first prove him
self a knight of “ye olden time;” und
the olianees of attaining such fame wore
few enough in the nineteenth century.
Nevertheless, so ran the edict; nnd al
though Terrill had, by his gentlemanly
bearing and successful plendlng eif oer

that any hint of his affection for Nellie

And so, tho fishing being good, they hud
