Nie eT Trt ~- seen ACT DOWELAING im i sas In a rambling, dusty dilapidated house in the dustiest and most erratic suburbs of Cairo, dwells the ex-“slave King,” who is justly regarded as being, next to the shifty Nubar, the cleverest manin Egypt. In Darfur and Babr Ge Zebehr’s palaces boasted a splen dor and a luxury worthy of a Persian strap « f ld;in the dingy apartments of the barn-like dwellings on the _ Is- mailiveh Canal, the demask curtains hang in halt-rent folds of faded tawdry vellow, and the plaster flakes off, show ing the raw red bricks. All day long the warm, languid breeze rustles fitfully mong the sugar canes, out of whose} green expanse (a maison Zebehr emerges | erimly white; all day long, and all the| night, the thick, slimy puddle, oozing) up from the canal, stems and bubbles | thirty feet below the sharp corner | round which you drive to Zebehr's | lomicile, and at which, if your pace is | fast, you stand inimminent peril of a precipitious breakneck fall. Except for the hubbub of voices of negro slaves— of whom there are scores, apparently, and who, we regret to say, are not clothed after the fashion of their coun- try, but after the inappropriate style of Moses & Son—and the constant ingress and egress of visitors, Zebehr’s mansion might be pronounced a fitting peniten- tiary of Marirnna of the Moated Grange. And except, should be added, for the strident voice of Zebehr himself, which and anon from the inner penetralia, indicating that the ex-slave king is hotly laying down the law— almost to a certainty on the Soudan question—to a circle of silent and ad- miring listeners. It is impossible aot to entertain a real liking for Zebebr. He is the politest and most genial of hosts. There is a freshness and a frankness about him, which contrast with the manner of the used up gen- eration of Cairo Pashas. He is a ready, eloquent and forcible speaker. He is never tedious,except when he starts off, with the bit between his teeth, on the subject of his pedigree. Then he be- gins with bis great progenitor, Abbas, the nephew of the Prophet; and with a complacent smile on bis large lips and a rhythmic sway of his body, he will repeat, in a sing-song chant and in the genealogieal style ofa chapter of the Old Testament, the names of all his sub- Sequent apcestors in exact order from father to son, with all their guttural patronymics, to the eleventh century, when the Abbasides migrated from Arabia into the Soudan. With some tact his hearers may escape Zebehr’s enumeration forthe next 600 years. The decendant of Abbas is proud of his connection with the Prophet. He is pure Arab,which the “nigger” Messiah in Kordofan cannot pretend to be. In truth, Zebehr would not be altogether displeased if you should suggest to him issues CVer that he might do worse than run against Mahomet Achmet for the Mahdiship. But Zebehr has lately be- come the object of new suspicions, and some people are keeping their eyes up- on him. sal n> o———— Absent-Minded Women. CHUCKLING THEIR CHICAGO BETTER STORIES TOLD BY HUSBANDS ABOUT HALVES. ‘Speaking of absent-minded people,” said a west-sider, *‘women beat the nation atthat. There ismy wife, one of the most careful and most level-headed women inthe world. But one night last winter we wentto a large pary and we both, for special reasons, were more than anxious to appear well. My wife was greatly concerned about me, as [am the absent-minded member of the family, and looked me over critical- ly and carefully after[ left the coat room and before we went down stairs. She was berself all right, of course, and was superbly dressed. We went down in high teather, and had passed through the parlors and had spent a most de- lightful half hour on parade duty, as it were, when my wife suddenly turned pale in what I thought was a fainting fit. I hurried her from the room, and was about to turn the house upside down in search of restoratives, when she clutched my sleeveand pointed to her feet. She had before leaving home diawn over her shoes a pair of my socks, and had forgotten to remove them. The thought that she had been parading before 300 people with those socks on was too much for her.” A south-sider, who had listened to this, said, after indulging ina content- ed little chuckle, ‘‘my wife tells as good a story as that on herself. She is, as everybody knows who knows her at all, very particular about ber dress, and she grieves over a spot on my coat or a lack of polishon my shoes with a grief that will not be comforted. She went down street shopping on one oc- casion this spring, and in trying on bonnets became a little disturbed over the fact that noneof the new shapes susted her face. She therefore picked TEH DAILY said 2 superintendent a3 one of the de- partments at Field’s “Not long ago, & fashionably dressed iady came in early, and in the course of bargaining, put her parasol on the couuter near a large feather duster, which ove of the clerks had been using. After making some purchases, the lady caught up the dust- er instead of her parsol and went out. As soon 2s I discovered the mistake, I sent a boy after her with the parasol, but he did set overtake her until she had made quite a journey. In fact, she flourished that feather duster along the street, fourished it about as she went into another store, and put it down on the counter, s‘ill under the impression }that it wasa parasol, and seeing the feather duster, asked for the parasol. The clerk explained that she had not brought any parasol in, but had come carrying intbat duster. She was in- dignant at such an intimation, and was delivering the clerk a sharp lecture on the subject, when in came our boy with her parasoland an explanation. She was so overcome that she had to be sent home in a carriage.” ae Household Hints. oe POR DESTROYING INSECTS. Hot alum water is a recent sugges- tion. It will destroy red and black ants, cockroaches, spiders, chintz bugs, and all the crawling pests which infest our houses. Take two pounds of alum, and dis- solve it in three or four quarts of boiling water. Let it stand on the fire till the alum disappears, then apply it with a brush, while nearly boiling hot, to every joint and crevice in your closets, bed- steads, pantry shelves, and the like. Crevices in floors, skirting, wasb- boards, bases, &e., washed or mopped in, will destroy everything in the shape of insects. In white-washing ceilings, alum add- ed to the lime, will keep insects at a distance. Coekroaches will flee the paint that has been washed in cool alum water, Powdered alum and borax, will keep the chintz bugs at a respectable dis- tance, and travellers should always carry a package in their hand-bags, to scatter over and under their pillows, in places where they have reason to sus- pect the presence of such bed-fellows. Sugar barrels and boxes can be freed from ants by drawing a chalk mark just around the edge of the top of them. The mark must be unbroken, ee Young Men :—Read This.

Be sure to mark your ballot for the Liberal Conservative Candidate ‘* The elector, on receiving the ballot- paper, shall forthwith proceed into one of the compartmente of the polling station, and there mark his ballot paper, mahing a cross with a pencil on any part of the ballot- paper within the division containing the name of the candidate for whom he intends to vote, and shall then fold up such ballot- paper, so that the initials on the back can be seen without opening it, and hand it to the Deputy Returning Officer, who shall, without unfolding it, ascertain, by examin- ing the initials, and the number upon the counterfoil, that it is the same he furnished to the elector, aud shall first detach and destroy the counterfoil, and shall then im- mediately, and in the presence of the elec- tor, place the ballot-paper in the ballot- box.—Ballot Act, Sec 45. No voters should make any mark on the ballot-paper save one cross on any part of the ballot paper within the division con- taining the candidate’s name for whom he intends to vote. If the yoter writes his name or initials, or any remarks, he makes his ballot useless. A simple cross upon the ballot for your candidate will assist in electing him. Any other mark or writing will contribute to their defeat. 1. Poll opens at nine o’clock a. m., and closes at five o’clock p. m. 2. Vote early. 3. See that your Liberal Conservative neighbor votes early also. 4. If you have a vehicle, place it at the service of your Committee to bring tardy voters tothe polls. Give the information to the Secretary of Committee. 5. Do not ‘‘pair’ on polling day with your Grit neighbor. Poll your own vote and let him look out for his. 6. Poll every possible vote ; the loss or gain of asingle vote in each sub-division may make all the difference between victory and defeat. 7. If your returning officers and deputy returning officers are Grits watch them. 8 Each Liberal-Conservative should vote as though the result of the election de- pended upon his individual exertions. 9. Remember that any bribery, corrupt treating, hiring of vehicles, paying of voters’ expenses, or any undue influence, will not only void the eleetion, but is pun- ishable by law. 10. Electors can only vote at one polling sub-division in the same electoral division, no matier in how many sub-divisions they may have votes. 11. Any elector’s vote may be challenged who has received anything on account of his vote, or has been promised anything directly or indirectly, either to induce him to vote at the election or for loss of time, travelling expenses, hire of teams, or any other service connected therewith ; or even if the said elecetor has dirctly or indirectly paid or promised anything to any person, either to induce him to vote or to refrain from voting at the election. 13. An elector having more votes than one in the same electoral district should vote in that electoral sub-division in which he resides. Attention to this rule will facilitate the polling, and possibly contri- bute to the individual elector’s comfort. ———_——— PICNICS!
