1t will be remembered that one of the at
taches of the late High Commission gave out
in Washington society that he wished the
photographs of six beautiful girls to be
selected by him, to be shown in England as
types of American beauty. In return the
young ladies were to be allowed to draw
straWs for diamond cross in his possession.
A malicious report having been circulated
that, whereas the young man had received
the pictures, the young ladies had not had
chance at the cross, Washington newspaper
spitefully called this "another of those
swindling gift enterprise affairs.' The re-
port, however, is false, and Washington
belle is now the happy owner Of the jewel.
The manufacture Of gun cotton has been so
much improved that it is more and more
used for quarrying, mining, and military pur-
poses. The cotton is now made in com.
pressed form, which can be handled and
transported with safety, and can be exploded
by detonation only. If set on fire without
defamation, 1t burns away harmlessly, This
fact is generally in favor Of increasing its
use, About one hundred tons of the Gotten
are now sold yearly for blasting in quarries
and mines-a quantity equal at least to five
hundred tons OF gunpowder. In the. slate
Qunrrles ia Wales it is largely employed ];
and there and in mines, the workmen find the
advantage OF having no smoke after blast.
LIEUTENANT McKEE.-This officer, who
met his death in the assault by the naval for
ces of the Asiatic squadron, under Admiral
Rodgers, upon the 18th inst. was for some
time attached to the United States steamer
Michigan, on the lakes. The Erie Dispatch
observes that few officers who have served
upon the Michigan are remembered with
more kindly regard than Lieut.. Mckee. He
was genial, generous, companionable, a uni
versal favorite in society and in the naval
service His selection by Admiral Rodgers
to lead the storming party in this instance,
and his conspicuous gallantry, are sufficient
| to his duty" At the time of his death, Lieut..
Mckee was serving upon the Colorado, the
flagship of the squadron. He entered the
service from Kentucky in 1861, as cadet
at the Naval Academy, and had been of duty
but seven months during his whole term OIL
service. He was ordered from the Michigan
to the Colorado in December, 1863.

army, with a small force, for the pur-
pose, which we think occurred about $50
years B. O., but there is nothing in the
appearance of the present city to indicate
such age Pompey's Pillar is ancient
also Cleopatra's Needle, but less than g.
600 years old. The former is situated on
8 sand hill in the rear of the city, one Of
the pedestal stones of which is solid
block of red granite, fifteen feet square
and the same in height, and the column
about ninety feet high, and seven or
eight feet in diameter, in one solid stone.
Cleopatra's Needle is single shaft about
eight feet square and seventy feet high,
standing on the sea shore. At the base
of Pompey's Pillar we found an importu-
nate crowd of little beggars, who became
so annoying that we were glad to escape
Srom their presence. The ruins of Cleo
patra's palace and also those of the palace
of the Ptolomies are near the sea shore, a
little east of the city, but little of interest
is to be seen, except the location--the
Imagination must fill the vacancy. We
spent but one day here,-the heat, which
had before been described as excessive,
was no greater than we experience often
at home, and less oppressive, being tenn.
pered by fine sea breeze. The greatest
heat of the day was $40.
Cairo, the city of the pyramids, was
$50 miles distant, and ride of six hours
brought us to it. Fare seventeen francs
Many novel scenes are passed on the
route, but not a single wheeled vehicle
Camels and donkeys are the beasts of
burden, except few oxen and cows
Stone, dirt, lumber, grain and everything
else are transported on these animals
The Arab villages are mere collection
of huts built of adobes and mud, and Just

The grain is harvested, and they are now
threshing it, which is done on the ground
by oxen drawing over it kind of rude
sledge, cutting the straw to chaff-it is
then cleaned by winnowing it in the
wind. The professions Of camels, goat.
skins of water, raising water for irriga-
ton. &C., are most faithfully represented
by the pictures in the old fashioned Sun
day school books, and the descriptions
there given are quite as good as we can
give.

WOMAN WoRLD.-THE MAIDS OF BER-
ing way to ring out an old fashion and
ring in new was that adopted by some
young ladies of Berlin with reference to
the chignon. The national spirit now at
white heat in Germany, is, if anything,
more ardent among the women than the
men, as in ded it always has been and
will be the world over. So the fair
patriots resolve to reflect more OF the
German nationality in their dress, and
abandon the really odious chignons. Ac-
cordingly the sixty young ladies, daugh-
tiers of the wealthiest citizens, who were
selected to welcome the returning army
at Brandenburg gate, had meeting in
which the question of their attire was
settled. It was that of Margaret, in
Kaulbach's sketch of her first meeting
with Faust, which has been thoroughly
identified with the German maiden in all
art, and especially familiarized of late by
the "Margueritas" of the stage. Two
plaits of their own hair hanging down
the back was to be indispensable, and
they were pledged mutually and to the
municipal authorities on no account to
use false hair. These sixty wealthy
young ladies ought certainly to he more
than match for one Empress, and she
not so much of an Empress as she was
and they will receive the congratulations
of the entire world if they carry the day
against false hair.

The season at Saratoga, so far, is an
noUnced as being remarkably dull. Hotel
proprietors give the Young Mems Chris
tian Association credit for this state of
affairs, because it was publicly announced
that this body of men had succeeded in
influencing the corporation government
to such an extent that no liquors, not
even Wines would be sold in the place
during the season. The authorities who
had never aided the hotel proprietors in
their efforts to make Saratoga attractive
to strangers, placed the license this year
at very exorbitaat rate, that almost
amounted to prohibition. The report
that the Maine law was to be enforced in
Saratoga went out early, and did its
work. la D..

DAMAGE SUIT BY THE CIVIL SHERIFF

District Court, claiming damages of the
proprietors of the "Bank" drinking saloon

ground that they refused to furnish him
with refreshments because he is colored
person, aud ordered him for tie same
reason to leave their establishment
Petitioner AYERS that under the consti-
tuition and laws of the State he had the
right with others, irrespective of class or
color, of access to said establishment and
to be supplied with such refreshments as
he might call for. He alleges that he has
always enjoyed the esteem and friend
ship of his citizens; that has sever
al times been chosen to fill offices of great
trust, profit and honor, and that at the
last general election he was chosen to fill
the office of Civil Sheriff, which he now

FINANCIAL RESULT OF REPUBLI
CAN RULE.

The indianapolis journal, in speaking
of the financial condition of the States of
Illinois and Indiana, remarks that 'the
administration of the State of illinois, un-
der ten years of Republican rule, has
produced the usual satisfactory results.
The State debt has been reduced to 81,
SO0,937, and there is in the treasury So,
OS2, 1O4 for the discharge of outstanding
obligations, leaving less than two millions
OF dollars to be provided for. This is well
for our sister prairie State, but the Repub-
hcans of Indiana have done better. Our
fereign debt is paid, so far as it has been
presented for payment, and there is en-
onSh money in the Treasury to pay all
our creditors" M 81 ~ 2 rs
In years past, when these two noble
States were under Democratic control
they were both on the very verge of bank
