A dispatch from Alex andria states that the Egyptian army has been surprised, with a large loss.

The civilized world will be there to pass judgment upon each and every one of the family, and a record will be kept for future use and refer ence.” A SEASONABLE HINT. King George’s Grecian kingdon is in such a l often condition that is is said to uiA&iiaand ciothedmawhollyTaultie^ IIow to Avoid Taking Cold. A cold is simply a developer of a dis eased condition, which may have been latent, or requiring only such favoring condition to burst out into the flame of disease. That this is usually the correct view of a cold as a disease-producing agent, under all ordinary circumstances, may be made plain by reflection upon personal experience, even to the most ordinary understanding. When the hu man body is at its prime, with youth, vigor, purity, and a good constitution on its side—no degree of ordinary exposure to cold gives rise to any unpleasant effects. All the ordinary precautions against colds, coughs and rheumatic pains may be disregarded and no ill effects en sue ; but let the blood become impure, let the body become deranged from any acquired disorder, or let the vigor begin to wane, and the infirmities of age be felt by occasional derangements in some vital part, either from inherited or actual abuses, and the action of cold will exeite more or less disorder of some kind, and the form of this disorder, or the disease that will ensue, will be determined by the kind of pre-existing blood impurity, or the pre-existing fault of these organic processes. It follows from these facts and Considerations that the secret of avoiding these unpleasant consequences thought to spring wholly from the action of cold upon the body has very little de pendence upon exposure, but a great deal upon the impure and weak condition of all the vital processes. In other words, with an average or superior con stitution and intelligent observance of all the laws of health, men and women could not take cold if they wanted to. They might be exposed to the action of the cola to a degree equal to the beast of the field, and with like impunity. But in case of persons with feeble constitutions, and who disregard, knowingly or other wise, the conditions of healthy existence, no degree of care will prevent the taking cold, as it is termed. _ They really live in houses regulated with all the precision of a hot-house. They may cover them selves with the most highly protective clothing the market provides, and yet will take cold. I don’t think the con sumptive person lives, or ever will live, even if kept in temperature absolutely be extremely probable he will retire disgust before long. The parliament of that classic kingdom has been at logger- heads with the king for some time, and the cabinet is about to be impeached for its opposition to the chamber during the lost year. Moreover, the treasury is ab solutely empty, and the wherewithal tp replenish it is wanting. No one ' could blame the king for laying aside the cares of state. — - t The executive committee of the Woodruff county agricultural and me- manner, in who”* tb<* well known signs of cue cold iifLci iiiicuicr will not be ap parent. But, on the other hand, there are those who, like Sir Henry Holland, of good ‘constitutions and living in ac cordance with the laws of health, may travel, as he did, from the tropics to the Arctic, again and again, clad only in an ordinary dress coat, and yet scarcely know what it is to have a cold or sickness of any kind. The truth is, to avoid tak ing cold from ordinary, or even extra ordinary exposure, the vital processes must be made strong- enough to rise above the untoward influence of external conditions.—Sanitarian. tailp when be gets his right eve fixed on a heavenly body.” —The woman is yet to be discovered who, when her husband is pouring ex pletives into the bosom of his clean shirt, will not solemnly declare that the gar ment had every button on it when it waAput away —“ My son, said a dying grocer to his probable successor to the business, “never put sand in the sugar.

She’s a maiden yet—age forty-eight.—N. Y. Com. Adv. A maiden once thought, “I can not be bought—I’ll marry a man who is poor; ” but the man he drank beer, died driving a “keer,” and twelve orphans went out from her door. ’Tis better to wait and be aged forty-eight than to marry the average man; for there’s trouble ahead for the maiden whflll wed the very first person she can. —It seems that the practice, of scalp ing is not peculiar to the North American Indian. An inquiry put forth in Nature draws out the following information on the subject: Herodotus mentions that it was one of the most characteristic of the ancient Scythians. It is said that the custom still prevails among the wild tribe of the frontier in the northern dis trict of Bengal. The “ Friend of India” remarks that “the Naga tribes use the scalping-knife with a ferocity that is only equaled by the North American Indians, and the scalps are carefully pre served as evidences of their prowess and vengeance over their enemies. On the death of their chief all the scalps taken by him during his warlike career are burned with the remains.” —“ We know the public is down on us,” remarked the old milkman, as he dipped out the desired quart from one of his big cans; “ but the public is mis taken.
