BIiTLEU, PA., WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 9. 1882. I»OI:TRV. A NAILOK'K YARS. This is tli<* tale that w is told to me, Bv a battered anil shattered «>u of the sea To me and my messmate, Silas Green, When I was a guileless young marine. 'Twas the good ship Gyascutus, All in the China seas. With the wind i lee and the capstan free To catch the evening breeze. 'Twas Captain Porgie on the deck, To his mate in the mizzen hatch. While the Iwatswaiu bold, in the forward hold, Was winding his larboard watch. "Oh, how does our good ship head to-night ? llow heads our gallant craft ?" "Oh, she heads to the E. S. W. by N., And the binnacle lies i.baft," "Oh, what does the quadrant indicate, And how does the sextant stand ? ' "Oh, the sextant's dowu to the freezing point, And the quadraut's lost a hand !" "Oh, and if the quadrant has lost a hand, And the ioitant fulls so low, It's our bodies and bones to Davy Jones This night are bound to go !" "Oh, fly aloft to the garboard strake ! And reef the spanker boom; Bend a studding sail on the martingale To give her weather room. "Oh, boatswain, down in the for'ard hold, What water do vou find ?" "Four foot and a half by the royal gaff And rather more behind "O, sailors, collar your marline spikes And each belaying pin; Come stir your stumps and spike the pumps Or more will be comiug in !" They stirred their .stumps, they spiked the pumps, They spliced the mizzen brace; Aloft and alow they worked, but oh ! The water gained a apauU. They bored a hole above the keel To let the water out; But. strange to say, to their dismay, The water in did spout. Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship, And he was a lubl>er brave; "I have several wives in various ports, And my life I'd orter save." Then up spoke the Captain of Marines, Who dearly loved his grog: "It's awful to die, and it's worse to be dry, And I move we pipes to grog.'' Oh. then 'twas the noble second mate [ What filled them all with awe ; The second mate, as bad men hate, And cruel skippers jaw. He took the anchor on his back And leaped to the main; Through toain and spray he clove his way, And sunk and rose again ! Through foam and spray, a league away The anchor stout he bore; Till, safe at last, he made it fast And warped the ship ashore ! 'Tain't much of a job to talk about, But a ticklish thing to see. suth'jn to do, ifl say it, too. For the second mate was me ! Such was the tale that was told to me By that modest and truthful son of the sea, And I envy the life of a second mate Though captains curse hira and sailors hate, For he ain't like some of the swaps I've seen. As would go and lie to a poor marine. Detrait free Frew. ~SELECTT THE EGYPTIAN QUESTION. Tlie Sultan Asserts his Man hood. A dispatch from Constantinople says Lord Pufferin, British ambassa dor, again sent Mr. Sandison, secretary of the legation, to ask the Sultan to issue the proclamation denouncing Arabi Pacha as a rebel. Mr. Saudi son at the same time gave the Sultan concilitory explanations, stating that England did not aim at a protectorate over Egypt. He also asked for par ticulars concerning the composition of the Turkish expedition to Egypt. The Sultan gave no satisfactory ans wer. It is stated, however, that he is irritated at England's action, and that he has sent verbal messages, through Mr. Sandison, that he would do noth ing for England, but would only yield to the wishes of Europe. Herr von Hirsehfeld, the German vepreseutative at the confeieniie, was instructed on Friday from Berlin to recommend the Sultan to issue the proclamation, declaring Arabi Pasha a rebel, demanded by England. The Russian Charge d'Affaires had been ordered by his Government not to any mote ference until he has received detailed instructions. Yesterday a special steamer arrived at Constantinople with the expected instructions: The various Governments have asked their representatives at Constan tinople for explanations in regard to tbe bbseuce of hi. unou, tho Kussian delegate, from Thursday's sitting of the conference, but the representatives profess that they are unable to ex plain the cause. They state that an ht'iauKeuibiit ttrotild hayc hecn reap Led on Thursday between the Porte and j the conference but for the absence of M. Onou. The adjourament of tbe meeting is regarded as seriously en dangering the sucpess of the confer ence. Lord Dutferin, tbe Marquis do Noailles and Count Corti had re peiyed important instructions from their respective Governments which they were unable to communicate to the conference. TURKEY TO WAIT UNTIL ENGLAND IS HEADY. The deficiency of provisions and water is urged by tho British Govern ment against the landing of Turks until after a forward movement of the British, which will be preoeeded by the occupation of Aboukir, Dami etta and Port Said. Admiral Sey mour and General Allison are equally of opinion that the position of Arabi is an easy one to turn, but not to at tack in front without heavy losses. The Jotirr.ai de« Debuts, of Paris, says; "England, who, at her own cost and risk, re-established order in Egypt, will not do so gratuitously. She will be right." THE SUEZ CANAL. The condition of affairs at Port ia very pritipal The French men-of-war nave been ordered to sta tion themselves at Port Said and cease traversing tbe Suez canal. The Madrid Impartial, says: "Germany has proposed that Spain co-operates in tkfi protection of the Suez canal, and we believe the Government will accept this invitation." THE TURKISH CONTINGENT. A Constantinople dispatch says Mouktar Pasha has made arrarge meitts which will enable the Porte to dispatch 20,900 men to Egypt in .suc cessive detachments. Dervish Pasha i.s designated as the probable commander of the force iu , Egypt. It ,'s expected that the de ' parture of the force will be delayed. THE PORTE WANTS To KNOW. The Porte has directed Lord Puf ferin to explain what it describes as the extraordinary severity of the British at Alexandria. THE REBEL GOVERNMENT DEFENDED. An official telegram received in Constantinople from the rebel gov ernment sajs : The Khedive having issued a decree dismissing Arabi Pacha from the Ministry lor neglec - ing to defend Alexandria, and having published a proclamation declaring that England is the friend of Egypt, Arabi Pacha lias called on the couutrv of which he is a submissive servant, to pronounce its will in the matter. At a great meeting, called for Satur day, comprising Ulemas, Cadis, the Coptic Patriarch, heads of the Arme nian, Greek aud Maronitecommunities, various high functionaries, ruudirs, notables and leading merchants, in all 3(>4 persons, moving speeches were de livered, especially by Ali Bey, under Secretary to the Soudan, who recount ed outrages of English sailors upon Alexandria women. The meeting, with only three dis sensionists, decided to maintain Arabi, so that he might defend the country until the conclusion of satis factory peace or the total extermina tion of his forces. All decrees to the I contrary were declared annulled, as the Khedive was beyond the Mussul man law. It was resolved that the decisions of the meeting be submitted to the Parte. Cousins of the Khedive, who were present ai, the meeting, de clared that Tewfik would be Khedive if he sided with the countrv and the army; but that, under the present circumstances, he is either a puppet or a prisoner of the British, and his authority might be repudiated. Im mense numbers of people paraded the streets last evening, shouting: "Vic tory to friends of Egypt against op pressors." DE LESS EPS GOING TO FIOHT THE ENG LISH SINGLE-HANDED. A dispatch from Port Said says: M. De Lesecps having heard Her Majesty's troop ship Orion had stop ped at Ismailia, and intended landing iyen, started on Thursday for the place. He is said to have declared that the English should land only after pass ing over his dead body and that of his son Victor. His course is condemned by all the Europeans here. It is said that he talks of enlisting the servipes of a tribe of Bedouins, which, he says, is de voted to him, for the purpose of op posing by arms any European inter vention in this part of Egypt. Admiral Conrad has telegraphed to the French Government complaining of the behaviour of De Lesseps, and stating that he is encouraging the Datives and increasing the general excitement, rendering the situation more critical. Cherif Pasha ridiculed the idea of ' Admiral Conrad being guided by M. I>e Lesseps, anil remark ed that this kind of thing encouraged the Arabs. Egypilau War. The "European Coneert" iq Egypt begins to resemble) a cqnceyt of cat*. Jt is obvious that the stockjobbers in London are much more active in propagating rumors about the plans and feelings of Arabi Bey than the British oQicers in Egypt are in press ing home their campaign against him. Meanwhile it is announced that the cotton crop in Egypt will probably be lost and the greater part of the wheat srop aiso, ana At. de Lesseps loudly charges England with designs upon the Suez canal. When we consider that England went into this business ostensibly as an philanthropic power bent on keeping the peace and protecting th« interests of the Egyptian people, it iui}st be admitted that she has uot so far made a brilliaut success of it - To lay Alexandria in ashes, upset the irrigation of Egypt and drive her French allies into something not un like open hostility, are queer steps towards restoring public order and making the peopla oi Egypt nappy. What would be thought of a police captain, who on learning that a house had keen entered by burglars, should blow open the front door with dynam ite, set the house on fire, and i#ost of tne family and servants and allow the burglars to escape through the back windows ? A Horse at tlie Pump. Our Dumb Animals, of Boston, the organ of the Society for the prevention of Cruelty to Animals, is responsible for the following slory; One day last I month a lady whose home is at Ports mouth, N. 11., was enjoying a ride through a yillage near that city, when her attention was drawn to a horso at the roadside near a respectable looking house, trying to pump water into a trough to drink by seizing the handle of the pump with his teeth. Owing to lack of skill or some defect in the pump the horse was unable to get the water. The lady gave the reins to her sister alighted, and drew a bountiful supply to quench his thirst. The horse evinced his sense of obligation to his benefactor as intelligibly and poiitely as a gentleman could evprpsj his thanks for a like courtesy, and the lady returned to her carriago and re sumed her drive.

An old man pot into a street car with his umbrella as wet as it is possible for an umbrella to bj. The 8 a s were a!l full, and he closed his umbrella and put the point down on the fi «.r, -s he supposed, but in fact s he put it into the low shoe of one of those sweet, 111 »de.->t girls, right on to hr stock lug, and the dirty water . more than poured dowu iuto the sb< e At first she looked as though she would mow hop foot, ut'd call his at tention to what Le was doing, but she I seemed to relent, aud with a resigned expression though she hopt*d be was not going to ride maor blocks, or perhaps somebody would yet out and j give him a scat, looked out of tue win- j dow.

A fur a few miuu'es sbe began j to shiver, which was conclusive evi dence to some that the water was j , coming up arouud her insteps, and j j Wfts gradually overflowing th. banks. I , Finally the became nervous and wbeti i a girl becomes nervous something has ' got to lie done. She blushed and ; touched him ou the hand that held the j umbrella handle with her little flutter ing finger and said: ".May I ask you, air, with >ot seem ing to ba impolite, to do me a favor ?" "Why, certainly, miss," said the aid man as he looked down at her, "What is it ?"

The other girl was not that kind of a retiring child of nature, and she look t>u up at the old blunderbuss with fire in her eye and every red hair on her head meaning business and said : "Can't you keep off of people's feet? you bad better ride in a sprinkling eart when you gonny where. Why don't you look where you are walking? I don't see why the city bought a stone-cutter for, when you walk on a stone quarry and furnish cobble-stones for pavement.

It beats all what difference there is in girls. How I, there were one buudred and twenty-four men living in the limited area between the Appenines and the Po of one hundred and up ward, three of whom were one hundred and forty, and four oyer one hundred and thirty-live. Cicero's wife lived to the age of one hundred and three, and the Roman actress Luceja played in public as late as her one hundred anJ twelfth vear. Coming down to more recent times, the most noted authentic instance of great age is that of Henry Jenkins, of Yorkshire, England, who died in IK7O one hundred and sixty-nine years old. He was a fisherman, and at the age of one hundred easily swam across rapid rivers. Another historic case is that of Thomas Purr, of Shropshire, a day laborer, who lived to the age of one hundred and fifty two years. When more than one hundred and twenty he married his second wife, and till one hundred and thirty he could swing the scythe and wield the flail with the best of his fellow-laborers. In his one Jiuadred and fifty-second year Parr went up to London to exibit himself to the King. It proved an unlucky visit, for violating the abstemious habit of a century and a half, the old man feast ed so freely on the royal victuals that he soon died, merely of plethora. On examination his internal organs proved to be in excellent condition, and there was no reason why he should not have lived much longer, save for this un fortunate taste of royal hospitality. Professor llufeland's roll of centen arians includes many more remarkable eases, among them that of Mitlestedt, a llucsian soldier, who served sixty seven years under both Fredericks, fighting many battles and enduring much hard campaigning, and who, after all this, married successively three wives, the last when he was one hundred aud ten, two years before his death. The Overseers oflhe Poor of Rye, New York, subpasned John -Martin, aged S3 years, before a judge, to show i-ause why he shou'd n >t support a drunken son, of thirty. The old man told a feeling tale of his sacrifices for the wayward boy, and said his income was barely sufficient to support a blind son and an invalid d ughter. The judge dismissed the case with tha re mark that he could not order a man of fS - 2 to provide for a son, who, w re it not for rum. could aud should bo earn ing for his father. 'The towu,' con tinued the judge,'has licensed the es tablishments where this old man's son buva his rum, so the town take | care of the drunkard.'
