The Story of a Burglary. There is a lonely, remote illage in Derbyshire, remote from railways, which I used to know very well. There is a fine painted-gl^ns window in the venerable church, which baa underneath it the worns, "Oat of th~j mouths of babes and suckUngs." This window with the m- ".criptiou i« connected with a daring bur- glary I know well the hoase where it happened â€" an old man., rial house, for the old rector was a Sqa^iraon, living in the ancestral hall, and leaving the rectory to others. The old rector had married a yonng wife â€"an arrangiment, by the way, which in this caje worked exoeeaiagly well, at)d by and by came tha inevitable baby- The old recror, at his time of life, could not stand the noise of the babji and' took himself t flf to a separate rcoai of hia own. One n'ght, in the very depth of the night, the infant made a moat howling, precocious nciso which awoke the young mother. She attended to her child, ^nd then went to the wiadow and drtw up the blind, to " take a look at the night," aa people say. To her horror there was aa atrocious locking man stand- ing on the window-sill. She caught her babe in heramuand, with a shriek, rushed off to her hna- band's room. Presently there was a crash of glass, and the burglar, followed by two other men, had dashed iuto her de- serted bed room. If I rememter aright, she had locked the bed-room door on the other aide; but this, too, was broken through by the invaders. She awoke her hnsbsaid, who, on hearing the state of things, lighted a candle by the bedaide and produced a pistol. The three men men appeared at the bed room door. The old rector preaented hia pistol, and aaid if they should advanced another atep he ahould fire. One of the men advanced the rector fired hia piatol and the mw fell The whole house waa now alarmed, aod the men made off, taking their wounded commde with them.

There was A United Sa^e» senator from New York state- a mtm'er of the French senate, who held an important pnsitioa at the court of Nap'^lron III., bat had now thrown in hisfurton^ with the Republic, a celebrated English novelist, a famona comedian from the Theater Fran?aiB«' and a member of th» Acadeaiy of Sji« nses, who3e wo'ks on osyohobgy are known all over £ ircpa Ic will thus be seen how p'easant th-i ga^herin^ must hi»ve been, and h w, un^er t^e gnitl influtr.ce f f ou? boat's choice Burgundy, the conver- saticn eprcad over a wide lield of li^er- atuce, art and ecien?e.

Ins tance.3 were cited as having been recorded by witnesses in which, after serpents and eels had baen cut into small portions and the vital parts seemingly destroyed, the various portions seemed still to be endowed wi^h life and vitality and a case was m~nlimed, well known in medical jurisprudence, in which a man, an inordinate gambler, who waa about to be beheaded for a heinous crime, begged as a last rcqiest to be allowed to play a game of piquet with one of the soldiers who was guarding him. The officer in command humored him, and the game began. Both were expert players, but just as the d omed man was about to lay down a card whicl would have settled the contest, the officer made a sign to the executioner. That functionary lifted his sword, and, with one stroke, severed the wretc'i's head from his b^dy, and as the ghas'ly object fell to the ground the lips were see to move, and from them were heard to coma, in clear, dis'inot tones, the words, " I have won the game." Up to this time the member of the Ao.=idemy of Soiinces. whom I will c*ll M. X., hadb'en an attentive listener, but he now interposed andeaid, "G^-n lemen, I can tell you something even more won- derful than thi^, and something whic^i, on a;:coant of the sourcj from which the story caine to me, incredible as it may appear to you, I can not but believe. My i,'randfather was a physician in thia city during the terrible Eceues of the revolu- tion iu 1789. Ha was an ardent student and a 8U0C6*eful experimentidist. One of his most Intimate friends was a young Englishman, who was als studying medi- cine. They had tastes in coouuon, and were alj:.ost inseparable. Imbued with monarchical idea?, this young man could not see in the revolutioa that men wtre fighting 1 1 overthrow tjrsnny, and, after the manner of bis countrymen, he openly and boldly denounced th«m. Reports of his utterances were carried to the com- mittee on safety. Be was arrested, taken baf ere the dread:d R ba(pi(=vre, and sen- tenced to the guillotine. On the night before thaextcation my grandfather, who had considerable politi al influence, was granted permission to visit him in his cell in tho prison ot La Coaeiari^e. The your}g manâ€" 'S ' we will call him^was brave and noncha'aut, and after a long metaphysioal argument, my grandfather said to him: *I have long wanted to prove if unconsciousness and the inability to act rem tin any time after death. Let me make thu proposition I will be present and near you at your execution to morrow my profeasioa and my re- lation to the committee of safety give me nnuBUsd privileges. The moment your bead falls into the baeket I will lift it up, and if you know me and still have the power of action, you will close your left eye three times ' The doomed man laugh- ingly agreed, the compact was sealed, and th3 two frlenda bade each other an affec tionate f«rewell. Morning dawned on the prison, and as each victim'a name waa read out he took hia place in the tumbril and was carried to tha scene of hia execu- tion. The young Englishman was there, so was my grandfather. Head after head fell then name the, knife, which flashed downward, uidths head dropped into the badset. My grandfather coo'd hardly r^Bsa a shudder but, true to his prom- ise and his thirst for knowledge, he picked it up and held the face to him.

We chip- ped two ergtnes on the Adriatic on last ^turday, and will ship two m.re on the Britannic to morrow. 'I tlink it is c^ear tha*; the adoption of this measure by the British Government is cf great moment. The j »umey from C tiro to Berber by way of the Nile is about 1 200 mdes. The slowness and hardfbips of that route are familiar to every reader of the despatches. From Suab-m to Berber, in a direct life asrtss tho desert, the distmciisabcut £60 miles. The lack f f water on the route mskes tbis stretch of desert very difficult f or* a largfl force. Even the bai'dingand ma'n- tenance cf a railroad woujd be extremely d]ffi.;ult fcr the same reason. Water in l*rge quantities would bj needed for the confitiuctioi^ hands, the soldiers to gu'atd them and the completed route, and for the engines. "lb is proposed to change all this by laying two line of four Inch pipe bet ween Suakim and Berber. At intervals of twenty-five or thirty miles, or evan less, umping stations according to the plan will be established. There will be two engii es at every station,oapable of pump- ing water at a pressure of 2,000 pounds t J the square inch. There will also be a b'g tank at every station. Water will be delivered at the end cf the route at the rate of about 150 gallons per min- ute. *, With plenty of water at hand the con- struction and maintenance of a doable- traok railway between Snaklm and Ber- ber will be an easy matter, and the trans- portaiion of troops and stores to Berber, whijh Lord Wolseley seems to bedesirous of making a new base of operations, will became as much a matter of course as the conveyance cf the Seventh R giment by rail from New York to Washington. "It has been settled that tha pipe is to be laid in z^z zag lines, to allow for ex- pansion and contraction under the sand. The laying of the pipe if a scffinent force of men is put to work, ought to proceed at the rate of about twenty miles a day. An American gentleman, conversant with all the details of the oil pipe-line system, now in London, is in consultation with the British Government, and there seems to be a diipositioa to expedite the work. "It will, cf c u se, be ne^eBsary to have a guard at every puipping station on the route. These stations will also be stopping places for the railroad trains. If the Mahdi's forces cu*! the pipes the di- minish^ d pressure at the nearest pump- ing station will speedily demoni)trate the fact, and a for:e can be sent out to repair the break." ,M i m mm m i A Slodern Craze.

We ha^e, therefore taken the p^ins to pro- cure an exoellt^nb engraving of the very be^t map obtainable, so that our readers may be able the more easily to traoa out the rou.es being pursued by the different divisions of the contending armies. Nearly every published map attempts to give too many details in regard to the country, and is therefore confusing. It will be well to preserve this map care- fully, as it will be cf value probab y for a Ion time to coma. •The Soudan," writes Sir S W. Baker, himself a noted ex;.lcre'r in Africa, "now embraces the whole of tbat vast region whica compr'ises the Desart of Nabia, Litya, the ancient Meroo, Don^ la, Kordofan, Darf ar, Senaar, and the entire Nile basin, bordered on the east by Abys- sinia, and elsewhere by doubtful fronhiera. The Red Sea upon the east alone conhutcs the Egyptian liniic to an urquestionabla line. Wherever the raitifKli is rc^galar the country ia immensely fertile. The S judan may be d vided into two portions â€" the great deserts which are beyond the rainy zone, and consequently arid, and the southern provinces wiohin that zone, which are capable of great agricultural devrjlopmeat. Khartoum, the scene of Gen. G irdon's heroic eflorts dating the past year, it will be seen, lies at the junction of the White Nile and the BIu?) Ni'.e, 13 degrees north of the Fq-iator How to reach this point as easily and speedily as posaible with au army of reli-sf has been the ^reat question fur some time past. There aretivopro- pos Is, one to go to " uakim, a port on the Rad Sea,'and then across the desert, a distance of 145 miles to B rber, and about 200 miles from that to Khartoum. This route was th-mght to be not as fvasi- ble as that up the Nile, in o in3 q'lence of the dangers, ht^at, and other dffijulties of the desert march, bnt tiiia route will no doubt be adopted for the moat of the future of tha campaign. It is proposed to build as speedily as possible, a narrow gnase rad way from Soakim to Barber, which will prve of vast military import- ance and piprmanent commercial value. Let the fertile secrion of the Soudan bo- come onc3 well opf^ned to the sea board and under a atable government, and a vaat cotton-prodacmg industry will soon become developed.
