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! before beginning anil after leaving off, constituted tho day’s dietary. The la bor, is provided their own baskets for 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 was often very cold. Air.

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leads to the belief that this circular of the Pope has had tho desired effect, and that the Irish clergy have wholly withdrawn from the political !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.
