From the fifth of August to the end of the war thii little body has been in almost daily contliot with the enemy. In every fight they were the first to begin Jind the last to liiiish. The Indian cavalry next filed past, a splendid and picturesque bodyj the curs- ed swjrds of the Second aad Sixth Bengal caval.'-y flashing in the sun and the pennons of f e Thirteenth Lancers making a gay show. Their array was no whit less steady and disciplined than that cf the bett Kuglish iior-erntn, anrt the ctl'ect of the f-i).ctaele on the K jyptiar.s in the pavilion and upon the crovvd i!j the souare was very m rked.

No need le critise their marching, as, with ranks closely locked, tht-y passed in soli I column to tiie "British Grenadiers March." The leading company cf tha Scots (Uiards attracted special admiration, the men avei ag- ing six feet two inches in heiyht â€" certainly the highest average in the British army â€" anel the whole brigaele is a remarkably fine one. After the (luards the fct^adj' stream of British infantry fio.^eel past in unbroken or- der, the regiments deploying into column as they entered the square, forraiug coluu'n cf route at ihe double as they emorgvHl from the narrow streets with perfect and unvary ing discipline. After the Guards came the Eighteenth lloyal Irish), the Fifth (West Kent), tl'.e Eiglity-fourth (York anel Liii- caster), unel the Eighty-seventh (Irish Fu- siliers). Tlie baitalion of Koyal Marines followed in new red tunics and brilliantly white helmets, the troops quit3 eclipsing in appearance all which had parsed betore, and presenting a splendid spectacle.

When the detaded report^ of the battle of Tel-tl-Kebir, now on their way home, are receivcil I think that it will be allowed that the advane^e of this brigade will be consider- ed as one of the finest instances of military discipline, under the trying circumstances of a night imrch, in our military' histejry. The Black Watch went pass to ihe lane of " Highland Laddie." Since Foutenoy, when this regiment covereel the retreat of the English army, it has taken part iu near- ly every event m HrA h military history. After the Black Watch the Cameionians ?tiode past to the " Pibro.'h ef Ooualel lhu,*' which has been Learel upon the scene of many a British victory. Tue first man who surmounted the entrenchments of Tel- el-Kebir was Private Donald Cameron, of this regiment, who fell dead, shot through the head. The Gordon Highlanders anel the Seventy-fourth, equal m physique and appearance to the leaeiing rei.'i'itnis, c jm- pleted the brigade. Then cam2 the fourth brigade from Alexandria, le»l by General Sir Evelyn Weuxl, upon whose breas; glit- tered three lines of nieda s. The Sixtieth rifles completed tiie march jwst of the Se- conel liivision. The Indian contingent, umler Gen- erals Macpherson and Tanner, finished the display, The Seventy-second (theSeafortb Highlandcro) headed the division, nearlj' every man wearing the Afghan medal and Candahar cross, and they were generally pronou' ced by the specUitors to b^ the fin- est bDeiy cf men on the ground. The wiry, seasoned soleliers looked, indeed, almost a different race of men to the comparative youths cf the otht;r corps. The Twentieth Paunjaubecs, almost entirely Sikhs and Af- ghans, and the Second Belooches well re- presented the Imperial Indian anny. The latter regiment, in its red Zouave trousers and green tunics, with Ion? hair and tall, square built figures, had a particularly war- like mien and attracted the admiration of all onlookers. But little sign cf feeliag w.s manifested by the crowds in the streets, who watched the display in gloomy s lence.

Having been one of a privilegeei parly of fo r, the riiat ever propelleel upon the wa ers ot the river Thames by the motive power of electricity, I tliink someeictails of tliis latest elcpartuic iu t: e applications of electric Science may be of interest. At half past .3 this afternecu I found my- self on loaid the little vessel Electricity, ly- ing at her mooring ott' the wharf of ttie works of the Electrical Kower Storage Company, at Millwall. Save for the absence of steain and steam machinery the little craft would have been appropriately called a steam launch. She is 20 feet in length and about 5 feet in the beam, elrawing about 2 feet ot M'ater, and titteel with a 22-inch propeller screw. On board were stoweel away undt r the floor- ing and seats, fore and alt, forty-five mysteri- ous boxes, each a cube of about 10 inches in dimensions. The e boxes were nothing else than electric liccumulalors of the latest type as elesised by Messrs. Selloii and Volckinar, being a modification of the well-known Plante accumulator. Fully charged M'ith electricity by wires leading from the dynamos or gen- erators in the works, they were calculated to support power for six hours at the rate of four-lioi se power. These storage cells were placeel in electrical connection with two Sie- mcns's dynamos of the size known as D 3, furnished with proper reversing gear and regulators, to serve as engines to drive the screw propeller. Either or both cf these motors coulel be "switchea" into circuit at will In charge of the electric engines was Mr Gu tuve Pliillipart, Jr. M'ho nas been asso- ciated with Mr. Volckmar in the fitting up ot tlie electric lauuch. Mr. Volckmar liim- scli anel an engineer completed, with the wr.ter, the quaVcet who made the trial trip. Alter a lew minutes" run elown ihe river, anel a trial of the powers ot the boac to go for- ward, blavjken, or go a^ttra ht will, her head was turned citywards, anel we sped â€" I can- not say steamed â€" silently along the scmthera shore, running about eight knots an hotFr against the tiue. At 37 minutes past 4 Lon- eloii bridge was reacneel, where tlie hcael of the lauuch was put about, while a long line ot onlookers from the parapets surveyed the strange craft that without steam or visible power â€" -Aithout even a visible steersman â€" made its way against wind and tide. Slip- 1 iug down the ebb, the wharf at Millwall was gained at one minute past 5, thus in tweuiy-four miuutos terminating the trial trip of the Electricisp^. For the benefit ot electricians I may aelel tiiat the total electromotive force of tne ac- cumulators was 9(5 volts, and that eluring tiie whole of the lung run the current througu each machine was steadily maintained at 24 amperes. Calculations show that this cories- l o ads to aik tpcnditure ot electric energy at me rate of 3 1-1 1 horae-power. It is now forty-three years since the Rus- sian Jacobi first propelled a boat upon the water* of the Neva by aid of a large but primitive electro-magnctij engine, worked by galvanic batteries of tbe old type, wherein zinc plates vere dissolved in acid. Two yeai-s ago a little model boat was shown in Paris by M. Trouve, actuated by accumula- tors of the Faure-Plante type. The present is, bowes-er, not only the first electric boat that has been constructed in this country, but tbe very first iu which tbe electric pro- pulsion of a boat has been undertaken on a commercial s ale.â€" S«LV anus P.

The revised census s^ve« the population of Scotland at 3,735,673, an increase of 11 per cent, since 1871, a rate of progress not cx- ceedeei since tbe third deciete of the present century.

For one of these he Mas sentenoed to ten years' iinprisoumeut, for another fourteen years, and for the third the incarnation was to be " during the remainder of his natural life "â€"which would appear to elestroy his interest in the former two punishm:.nt3. A writer on odors and their recognitiou, in the Journal of Science, says " Take an ox, a sheep, or a goat to the cjuntry where tiora is strange, and he will browse upon plants analogous in odor with those which have formed his food in his native land. But whenever he perceives a strange efllu- vium given off, he av«ids the plant as doubtful." A 8uperfluo~3 boar at the Paris Zoo hael a bun with pnissio acic on it crfven him. But ijrui i was not to bo cautiht that way. He pushed it iiito the wa er, and not until the odor was entirel}* gone diel he eat it. The poiion had then lose its force.

In 1853 the chilera caused the death ot 9.210 victims, and in 1865 t'aore was a death roll of 12,000. During each of these epidemics there was great mortality also iu the west of France, and it is not strange, therefore, that the present reports of another approaching epidemic are receiv- ed with much uneasiness.

Greece owes her success to her own Orm atti'^ude. She showed that she was willing, rather than give up what has been awareleel to her, to precipitate a struggle for which the Great Powers were not prepared, anel so, in order to prevent trouble, the/ Powers compelled Turkey to stand and eleliver. Greece's claims are not finally settled, aud she has learned just now to proceed iu ord^r^ to obtain satisfaction. Keep Ovit the dold Air.

Iiord Daff axin's The cable brings word that Lord Dufferin is to be made a Marquis for his dij^lomatic services. The career of Lord Dufferin, still a comparatively yonn^ :nan, hasbeeaamost brilliant one. He is the son of the fourth Baron Dufferin, his mother being one of the beautiful Slieridau sisters. He was educat- ed at Oxford, but left that university with- out taking a degeee. While still a minor he succeeded to his father's title, and under Lord John Russell's first administration he was lord in waiting on the Queen. He tra- velled from Oxford to Ireland, accompanied by a frienel, in 1847, and published an ac- count of his experiences. In 1859 he mace a voyage to Iceland in a yacht, and wrot« an account of the expedition under the title of " Letters from High Latitudes." He was sent to the East in i860 by Loid Palmerston to make inquiries into the massacre of the Christians theie, anel for his services he was raaele a K. C. B. In 1S72 he was appointed Governor-General of Canatla. His adminis- trations of affairs in the Dominion was most successful. Harvard University conferred on him in 1878 the honorary degree of LL.D. Since then he has been sent to St. Paters- burg as ambassador in a time of great diffi- culty, and thence to Constantinople. He has been the recipient, perhaps, of more ti- tles, distinctions, and posts of honor than a' y man of his time. He was createel an Eng- lish baron iu 1850, nominated a Knight of St. Patrick in 1883, appointed Lord Lieuten- ant of County Down in 1864, sworn a Privy Councillor in 1868, and was made an Earl of the United Kingeiom iu 1871. Of the adage, " Nothing succeeds like success," we have a strk ing illustration in the careers of Lord Daffierin and Sir Garnei Wolseley. Gea. Wol.elcy's Secret Assistance. Among other plausible attempts at rob- bing Sir Gcinet of his glory in winning the fight at Tel-el-Kebir, I hear it suggesteel that he was greatly helpeet by dissensions in the enemy's camp. There is no doubt to Orientals of all classes tjack-sheesh is irre- sistible and we know that in the last Rus- so-Turkish war, gates were openeel and stronge positions sold for money. If the secret Listcry of the recent war ever be made public, we may find that AVolseley dil not lisdain a single chance of securing success, anel made friends of his foes when he could. The knowledge that resis'ance would be half-hearted may well have braced him to an enterprise which would otherwise have beeu hazardous, not to say foolhardy, in the ectreme. It has been proveel to de- monstration that the frontal attack of works defended by the breechloader is almost hopeless. We have seen i: in the last wars, anelthatof Egyptought to have been noexcep- tion to the general rule.
