NNE PILL THAT WILL, • A Child's Grenero city At this time, when the English na- tion is reloicing over the long and pros- perous reign of Queen Victoria, a sim- ple little incident of her childhood, told by Mr Alfred Story in the Quiver, is not inappropriate, showing as it does that the qualities which have made her beloved as a queen were already manifest in the little princess. When she was seven or eight years old this little lady was particularly fond of dolls, of which she was allowed to buy a goodly number, always f pro- vided that she took good cane of them, washing and dressing them herself, and supplying therm with 1 he neatest and most becoming clothing. The clothing she bought with money earn- ed by steady appli7.ation to study., On one occasion she took a great ancy to a dell displayed in a shop near her home. Unfortunately she had spent her allowance for the month, and no mote would be due for a fort- night; but the princess was not dis- couraged.."'Having explained the mat- . ter at home, she was permitted to ask thee,' neper to put the doll aside for;; Th storekeeper, who knew her•/;, lingl'yy Consented, and the little lady`felt t at•the d'o'1 was safe.

Before she could step outside, however, her eye fell on a miserable -looking tramp, who open- ed his Zips as if to speak to her, and then shut them again irresolutely. He • stood aside to let her pass, a tnute ap- peal in his sunken cheeks and quiver - ening lips, "Did you wish to speak to me?" ask- ed the princess. "1 am very hungry," said the man in a trembling voice. "If I were not ready to sink I would not ask for help." "I am so sorry," replied the child. "I have no mouey, or else-" His lips trembled forth a humble "Thank you, lady," and he was shtlf- •fling off when the childish voice cried "hoop!" She stepped hack into the "Oh, world you mind taking the • doll hack and keeping it for ore a little hinger?" she asked. "Certainly I will take it brck,and re - tern you the money," was the reply.

'ABJECT COWARDICE., T8 GLARING DISPLAY BY EGYPTIAN TROOPS AT EL TEB. A Starr Olnoer'e Account of Baker Pafha's Crushing Defeat In the Sudan—How His Soldiers Allowed Themselves to Be Slaughtered Without Resistance. Probably in no battle of modern times was an army ever less prepared to face an enemy than were the Egyptian troops which Valentine Baker Pasha led to the relief of the beleaguered garrison of Tokar at the beginning of February, 1884. The force consisted of 1,400 infantry under General Sartorius, 800 Egyptian cavalry, 160 Turkish cavalry and 2,000 Sudanese. The Egyptians were an un- trained, cowardly lot, many of them there against their will, some having been brought to the front in chains, while their arms were only old and wornout muskets. No one know better than Baker and the members of his staff, of which I was one, how liable we were to get beaten if we wore attacked by the forces of Osman Digna. Only the night before the battle Baker Raid that if the enemy attacked us on our march to Tokar in -any force he had no doubts as to the disastrous results. "You see," he said, "all we have to rely upon is the Turkish cavalry and a few of the drilled Sudanese. But if a panto en- sues on an attack they have not stamina to hold the others and will fly with them. Oh, for just one troop of the old Tenth hussars and a regiment of the British line, and we would relieve Tokar tomorrow!" On Sunday evening we encamped about two miles from Trinkitat with the expec- tation of making an early morning start. Baker invited all the European officers ter dine, and though we were all more or less cheerful, still we bad a presentiment of coating disaster, though we scarcely thought how terribly it would be realized the next day. At about 6 o'clock the next day, the 4th of February, we had breakfast, and by 7 o'clock our disastrous march was started. Three hundred baggage camels preceded our column; then caine the infantry, while our cavalry skirmished on each flank, pro- tecting us from sudden attack. We had not proceeded half a mile before we noticed small bodies of the enemy, who retreated on our approach. At 8 o'clock we sighted quite a large body, and, halting, got one of our Krupp guns unlimbered and fired a few rounds at the enemy, causing them to retreat. We had not continued our march ten minutes when there appeared on our right flank about a dozen Arab horsemen, who at about 300 yards' distance proceeded to ride down our lines with the evident in- tention of estimating our force. The Turkish cavalry were sent in chase, but the Arabs rodo off without one getting hit by the fire from our infantry or the cav- alry being able to overtake them. Imme- diately after a similar thing happened on our left flank, and while our attention was distracted thus a large force of the enemy suddenly appeared in front. Or- ders were at once given to form a square; but, though for days our troops had been mainly drilled in that one formation, when the critical time arrived they failed la- mentably. Three sides were formed after a fashion, but the enemy poured in on the fourth, their long hair streaming, and to the distorted eyes of our troops they Looked like an immense body of invincible devils. Our men, if they can be dignified by the name, implored for mercy, many of them on their knees, but none was shown. Hacking and killing was the enemy's pro- gramme, and it was carried out to the let- ter, while our left flank continued firing aimlessly, killing many of our own cavalry. • At • the time of the attack I was with Baker Paella and Abdul Russac, an Egyp- tian staff officer, with the Turkish cavalry, away from the main body, The flrst•thing we saw was the Egyptian cavalry engaged, and we at once made for the main body, from which we were cut off by the enemy, who, .however, were not nearly as danger- ous as our own men, who fired right at us as we endeavored to force our way into our own ranks. We had a hand to hand tussle with the enemy, in which poor Ab- dul Russac was killed, but at last did suc- ceed in getting through. By this time our men had completely given way, and then commenced a rout. that beggars descrip- tion, General Sartorius did his best to hold his "ren and was ably seconded, not only by the European officers, but also by the Egyptian, but all to no purpose. Mo - rice Bey, Dr. Leslie and Captain Walker were killed, as well as several Egyptian officers, in endeavoring to stand against the enemy, who were probably 1,000 or 1,800 strong. I never saw such abject displays of cow- ardice in my life. Men just stood or knelt like sheep and let the enemy kill them, and yet they had arms in their hands with which they could have protected them- selves had they chosen and had not the long haired Arabs, shouting and gesticu- lating as they charged down upon them, taken the last vestige of nerve out of them. One regiment of English infantry could have held the enemy at bay;• and with a troop of good cavalry have wiped them off the face of the earth. Officers struck at men with the thlt of their swords, even prodded thorn with the points, but to get them to rally was hopeless. An attempt was made by the cavalry at one point to cover the retreat, but only matte matters worse, for they turned and charged right over our own mon in their efforts to esen pe. During the retreat I scarcely ventured to say a word to Baker Pasha, who was riding along gloomily and preoccupied, occasionally giving an order to head off a crowd and to try and rally thein, hat to stop that "rob Wes like trying to stay the titles of the ocean Nothing could induce them to rally, k'or five miles the carnage and butchery were kept up, right into Trinkltat, where the -survivors might have been killed with the greatest of ease, as they stood huddled up on the seashore, but the enemy withdrew, not knowing that an English gunboat which had been there the day before had loft for Suakin. \Vc estimated that fully 2,000 men had been killed. including five European and 20 native officers, and as soon as possible afterward the troops were transported to Sivrkin, Baker being lent for dirty with the British troops The (icfent at the Wells of Teb had ono good rooulte-ft forced the Egyptliin government to arm all its troops properly, The blame for the defeat was laid by mane at Baker Pestle's (ioor, but those who did so could not have really known the nature of the mien he commanded, to say nothing of how abominably they were awned, Not that on that occasion it mat- tered what sort of arms they had, for they' wou Id have thrown the best weapons down end have fallen into the bands of the one- iny.

AN IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. — At Osgoode Hall, Toronto, on May 28th, on application of G. T. Fulford & Co., proprietors of the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., a perpetual injunction was granted by Chancellor Boyd restraining Theodore Sweet deuggist, St. Catharines, for selling a pfhk colored pill in imitation of Dr.Williams' Pink Pills few Pale People. It seems necessary to again impress upon the public the fact that Dr. Williams' kink Pille can only be obtained in packages, the wrapper around which bears the full, law -protected trade mark, "Dr. William$' Pink Pills for Pale People." Pill° offered in any other form, and not- withstanding anything the dealer may cray,,are fraudulent imitations and should always be refused. The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. will be glad to obtain (in con- fidence) the name of any dealer offering for sale any imitation of their pills, as the com- pany is -determined to protect the publio a;ainet this species of fraud.

One of the most interesting homes in historic Georgetown is tho Tudor place. The sago palm of Revolutionary fame fitandy in the Tudor conservatory in win- ter and on the beautiful lawn in summer, It belongs to Martha Washington's gnaud- daughter, who is the oldest living descene. ant of the family. Mrs. Brittania W. Kennon is the daughter of ColonelThornas Peter, who married Martha Cutis, and is the widow of Cumniodoro Beverly Ken- non, who lost his life by the explosion of a gun upon the Princeton in 1844. The main body of the old house was built by Colonel Peter in 1816. In this house ars. Kennon was born and has always lived. In 1776, when the historic cargo of tea was dumped into Boston harbor, there were on board three small palms. The largest was carefully sent to Mount Ver- non, another to the home of Governor Morris of Mor•risania, while the third was taken to the Pratt gardens, near Philadel- phia. Ten years later the conservatory at Mount Vernon was burned and tho palm lost. Thirty-six years later, in 1815, Mrs. Kennon's mother.drove in her carriage, a journey of four days, to Philadelphia, vis- ited the Pratt gardens, bought several lit- tle plants and carried there in a basket to her own greenhouse- One of them was an offshoot of the original sago palm, and to- day is a veritable Colonial Dame or Daugh- ter of the Revolution. It is now almost a century old and has never known another home. Its fruit is not abundant, like the cocoanut or date palm. tt bears a small apricot shaped fruit only once in several years. Its ter- minal budding at 'the end of the stem is like a crown. Some years it unfolds long slender spikes or palm branches, but sev- eral times during Mrs. Kennon's life there has been a wonderful gtaowth of fern shaped, delicate leaves, soft and spongy in texture and color. When left on the tree until the sap is pretty well down in the trunk, they retain their shape and color many years. Botanists have examined them with keen interest. It appears like a cabbage and slowly unfolds its yellowish brown fern loaves after tho fashion of our house ferns. If left on the tree, they die. —New York Sun• (ASSESSMENT SYSTEM).
