An exchange says that "Mr. D. H.
Craig. late General Agent of the New York
Associated Press, is said to have perfected
his new system Of telegraph. to the develop
ment of which he has been devoting his
time and means for three years past, with
results that hardly can fail to effect an en-
tire revolution in telegraphy, by reducing
its cost to rate very little above the pres,
ent rates of postage. It is claimed that by
this new automatic system it is perfectly
practicable to transmit with absolute accura-
cy, over single wire, more than sixty
thousand words in an hour, speed more
than sixty times greater than by any of the
systems now in use kilograms WHICH I'm.

ExTRAvAaANcE OF THE KHED1yE OF
EaYpT.-An American officer just returned
from Egypt thus speaks of the Khedive's
extravaganza: Ho keeps magnificent estab-
lishments. He has forty palaces, four
wives, and about two thousand female
slaves. His palaces are wonders of the
world. The more decorations cost millions
and the value Of the furniture, carpets, &C.. /,
is incalculable. The Khedive imports all
these things from Paris and London at an
almost fabulous expense, and whenever he
gives banquet it costs hundreds of thou
sands. To give you some idea of his lavish
expenditure, some time before I left Cairo
the Khedive gave grand ball outside the
city. The road, four miles long. was light
ed on either side by four rows Of wax can
dies, about foot apart. The light from
these, and the glare of rockets necessarily
ascending, formed one Of the grandest scenes
I ever witnessed. The Khedive supports
an Italian opera with four prima donnas, a
French opera bouffe, melo-drama theatre,
and circus. [ have seen squadron Of
cavalry ride down the stage of the Italian
opera house in Cairo

Mr.. j. r. Tucker has addressed to E. NJ
Tidball, Of Winchester. a lengthy and ably
written letter, giving his opinion upon the
subject, After a thorough review of the
whole question he, in conclusion says:
