According to advices from Alexandria, the new Egyptian Government is likely to have some trouble with the Abyssinians. King John claims back the whole strip of coast ter- ritory ceded to Egypt by the treary of peace signed two years ago, besides several specitied towns, with the territory in which they are situated. If these demands are rejected a re- newal of the Egypto-Abyssinian war is to be apprehended, ‘The effective forces of Abys- sinia at the present moment are estimated at fully 60,000 men, tolerably well. armed, and commanded by two native generals. ‘To these it appears must be added some 406,000 or 50,000 who would be furnished by vassal states. Egypt can hardly find ,more than 20,000 men, and it is stated that some anxiety is felt on the subject at Cairo. Gordon Pasha, who is negetiating with King John, is believed to be empowered to offer him the ports of Aith, Duroro and Tschilloky, on the Red Sea, providing he renounces all other claims and concludes a lasting treuty of peace with Egypt. The treaty of 1877 was only provisional, and was to last twenty years. If King John re. fuses these terms tae Egyptian troops under Gordon Pasha will, it is thought, at once as- sume the offensive.

The phosphate trade in South Carolina is said to be suffering severely, 2,000 laborers having recently been thrown out of employ- ment through the suspension of some of the principal phosphate companies. The caure is attributed to stagnant trade in England, the bad outlook for agriculturits has stopped the demand for manures. It is stated that English manufacturers of phosphates are left with large stocks of the finished product unsold, and consequently the demand for the crude rock has fallen off.
DEFENCES oF THE COLONIES.—It is an- nounced inthe ‘‘London Gazette,” that a commission, consisting of the Earl of Car- narvon, Mr. Childers, M. P., Sir H. Hol- land, Sir A Milne, Sir J. Linthon Simmons, Sir H. Barkly, Mr. T. Brassey, M. P., and Mr. R. G. Crookshank Hamilton, has been issued by Her Majesty to inquire into the condition and sufficiency of the meaus, both naval and military, provided for the defence of the more important seaports within British colonial possessions and their de- pendencies, and to report as to the stations which may be required in the British col- onies for refitting or repairlng the ships of our navy and protecting our commerce,

Minerals in Queen’s County, N. S
The Liverpool Advance says :—Reports coming in from various directions all seem to confirma the proposition that the County is unusually rich of mineral deposits. The impetus given by the first finds, to further
investigation and search, has resulted in | the discovery of auriferous quartz in differ- .
eit directions, the last find being the vicin- ity of Crane Lake, where large masses of broken quartz rock abounding in excellent specimens, entirely cover considerable tracks. On the Cliff Lot, so called, several miles above Mill Village on the Port Med- way River, some extremely rich pieces of copper ore have been recently found and further search is being made in that vicinity. At the Galena Mine, near Charleston, a pit some twenty feet deep and ten feet or twelve feet wide has been sunk, the vein of ore struck and the course ascertained. The vein was found to be something under an inch thick runs through comparatively loose material, that is easily mined. The indications lead to the conclusion that the vien will be found considerably thick when struck by the new shaft

Important Discovery of Asbestos.
The Journal of Three-Rivers, says another Quebec journal, says that about two months since Mr W. R. Jeffrey, a trader of Danville, discovered a mountain of Asbestos about four miles from the terminus of the Danville Railroad,
Asbestos is a fillamentous substance of such pliability that it resembles cotton or silk. It can also be converted into tissues as fine as those of silk, over which it has the advantage of being indestructible by an ordinary heat which restores it to its natural whiiteness. it has been found in such greatabundance that it is supposed that capé italists will seon establish manufactories to convert it into fabrics of all kinds. Mr. Jeffrey has lately sent some to the United States and England, where he has sold it at high prices. The cost of its present exportation is not at all expensive as it is found near the surface of the ground, and at the base of a mountain which seems to be full of it.
The work of excavation is carried on by aspecies of trench, 100 feet in length and 30 feet in breadth, and in this excavation the asbestos is found in great quantity.

Herat, the Afghan city which has come into prominence recently asthe scene of a formidable revolt, is an important military and commercial strategie point. It eccu- pies a commanding position on a rocky plateau, 2,500 feet above the sea level, and has, on more than occasion, stood out against fosas who had overrun the rest of the country. Its natural strength is ang- mented by massive fortifications. It stood a lengthy siege by the Persians in 1837, the besieging forces being repulsed with heavy losses. In 1856 it was captured by the Persians, but its restoration was compelled by the British in the treaty of Teheran, signed the following year. Herat stands at the junction of several important com- mercial highways, within a few days’ jour- ney of Mery, 360 miles west of Cabul, and 190 south-east of Meshid. Its situation renders it a noted emporium for the pro- ducts of the leading Oriental nations.

A Lovurs1ana lady writes :—‘‘When 1 find standard books ruthlessly torn by ignorant persons, words fail me to express
‘|my indignation against such an act of bar-
barism. Generally, when children leave school, they pack their books in a remote corner as relics of the past, very few hav- ing the moral courage to continue their studies ; yet to many of them leading an aimless life it might prove balm when least
.expected. For my part I prefer an evening
passed at home with a pleasant book. to attending balls, parties and theatres.”’
