The Military Telegraph.

Military telegraph has become fact,
and Is being rapidly constructed from
Fort Sill across the frontier of Texas
to the Rio Grande, and down that
stream to Brownsville, completing the
electric circle of the world. All Of the
wire has been received and forwarded
from this point to the west the poles
have been contracted for, and are being
placed along the line by General
Knox, while Captain j. g. Vanduzer,
one of General Meyers signal staff and
one of the most experienced telegraph
men in the United States, has gone out
to put parties at work.
The line will be put up by the sol
diers, and will be operated by enlisted
men of the signal service. II will run
from Fort Sill to Fort Griffin, and by
way of Camp Colorado to Fort Concho
and McKavett; thence to Fredericks-
burg and San Antonio and from here
to Fort Clark; thence to Fort Duncan
on the Rio Grande, and down that
stream to Mcintosh and Brownsville.
The wires will also be ut the service Of
the public at rates one-third the rates
now charged by the Western Union
Telegraph company.-[San Antonio

world that marriage settlement does
facilitate the marriage Of such one.
The plums of beauty are only for the
favored men; in other words, all men
cannot marry pretty women. Nor can
all girls marry an Antinous. Few prob
ably marry their beau-ideal in either
sex. Many longing women wait in vain
for Almavia with his guitar and moon
song; many bachelors make bootless
search for her .'who was created for
them" Hence the need of philosophy.
The man must take his nest with what
he has in hand. The age is unpoetic
and unheroic; he must count the cost
of the matrimonial venture if he be an
honest, orderly man, desiring to pay
his way, and if he cannot get the ideal
Juliet he must content himself with the
more proSaic Mary.

A Beautiful Burglar.

The following letter from Strouds-
burg, Penn, Nov. 90, appears in the
New York Sun: Two weeks ago
Frances Stanard appeared in Jackson
Township. She was evidently French.
and was well dressed and beautiful, and
she went from house to house selling
notions. On Saturday, the goth, she
went away, it was supposed to a village
on the Delaware and Lackawanna Rail
way. Early last Monday morning,
James Stern, farmer of the above
township, was awakened by noise in
his room. He jumped from bed, and
hearing some one running from the
room, pursued and caught the intruder
and found that it was woman. She
turned and fired pistol at him. The
shot did not take effect, and Stern over
powered and secured her. His prisoner
was the French woman, of whom he
had purchased notions, exhibiting at
the time considerable money. She had
secured his pantaloons, i'll the pocket OF
which was his wallet.
The prisoner was brought to this
place on Monday, and the Jail not being
in condition to receive prisoners, she
was put in the grand jury room in the
courthouse. She declared that she
should not he brought to trial; she
would fire the courthouse and perish
in the flames first. She subsequently
quieted, however, and seemed resigned.
Early on Friday morning Mrs. Tut
hill, janitress of the courthouse, was
awakened by smoke in the building.
The fair prisoner had set the building
on fire, and had escaped by jumping
from the window.

Matrimonial Ventures,

In most countries on the other side it
is the general rule for the family to put
by something every year, perhaps half
the income, for the future establish
ment of the children, and particularly
of the girls, who as such are less capa-
bic Of making their way than their
brothers. Here we know, as a rule, the
parents improvidently live up to their
income, bring up their children to lux
urious habits, and thus unfit them for
that life of trial to which they are des-
tined. They are, in word, softened
instead of hardened. A common reply
of the head of the family to the sugges-
ton that the future of the children
should be looked after is that they will
begin life under the same circumstances
as he did-that is, with nothing-for-
getting that the conditions of life are
changed, and that it is now impossible
for them to live as he once did. If a
helping hand is given, singular to say,
it is Oftener to tie man than to the wo-
man. either in being admitted to the

If she is plain, tie chances are that she

A Touching Story.

During the late war Mr.. Enoch Ar
den, of Thirty-second Street, entered
the Fifty-second Illinois Infantry. 1t
was reported that he had been killed on
the battlefield of Murfreesboro, and his
| wife, Annie, mOurned him As dead. She
tried to keep Il boarding-house and
Berlin-wOol store. but failed in these en-
deavOrs to drive the wolf from the door
and finally consented to marry, and did
marry, Philip Ray. Last week Mr.. Ar
den returned home after a heightened
period of foreign travel in Texas, and,
making his way to the house that he
had formerly occupied, was surprised
to find it deserted. He asked of neigh
Dor if Miss Arden didn't live there, and
they said that the widaer Arden had
married man named Ray and lived up
on IIoyne Street. The gray and beard
ed Arden thereupOn went to the house,
and stealing up to the window, softly
gazed in. There he beheld Mr.. Ray
holding one of the twins in peculiarly
awkward manner; the other was reclin-
ing on the knee Of Annie Ray, once Ar
den, while her daughter, younger and
fairer Annie Ray, was dangling q spare
pOwder-puff to amuse it. Mr.. Arden
did not grOan and creep away into the
darkness like wounded thing, and
spend the remainder of his days in 4
Dutch boarding-ho and die and be
given a bang-up funeral by Mr. Ray,
but he went and rang the front door
bell, and when his former wife answered
it his heart stood still, and he could not
speak for Il moment. She did not ap-
parently recognize him, but said:
''Now, then, young man, we've got
nothing for besgars here, so just start
Your boots or Ill set the dog on you."
Then he found voice to remark: can

dead. The list of killed, wounded and

Now, just you git, or I'll call my L,s-
band" "Your husband? ?'' replied Mr..
Arden. " miserable woman! I'm him.
80, You are, are you?' cried Mr.. Ray,
who had come out to see what'n thun-
der his wife was keeping the door open
so long for, and he fell upon Mr.. Arden.
Yesterday MIR. Arden was brought up at
the West Side Police Court, and sent D
the Bridewell for three months for as
sault and battery, the Justice telling
that he might esteem it most fortunate
that he was not held to answer on a
charge of forcible entrance and attempt
ed burglary. The worthy magistrate
warned the prisoner that this business
of war records was played out. The
dispositions in the case will be sent To

Scenes in Alexandria, Egypt.

! The bazars are curious cOngrega
ton of little shops, the passages be-
tween them being rooted over with
palm-tree mattings to keep out the fierce
noonday sun. The merchants, either
frantic to sell or decidedly apathetic,
sit cross-legged upon the counters, and
with a stretch of their arm may reach
you any thing from their stock. We buy
some clay pipes made from the Nile
mud and much noted for their sweet
ness, and some genuine ''kOuranee, ,"and
then push On past the boys andthe DON
keys, the beggars, the peddler>, the
dogs, the half-naked men, and the vail
ed and barefOoted women.
The dress of the women is single
long gown, not over scrupulous!y repair
ed nor too closely confined. But there
hangs, also, back from the head 4 loose
sort of wrap, which is bound at the fore
head by kind of brass spring to long
strip called vail, little of the face be-
ing seen save the dark, sunken eyes of
the early maturing African maiden; yet
their modesty is matter of the face
alone, for the heat is too intense for
much clothing-so much so, that the
very young or very old women
dispense with this frequently even
suffocating vail. Such is, however,
the dress only of the lower and larger
classes. The higher "fashionables"
affect the Turkish modes from Constan-
tinople. They usually ride, and seldom
go out unattended; and, whether be-
straddling a donkey, their little red,
pointed slippers peeping coquettishly
out from their baggy trowsers, or re-
clining in sedan chair or basket
wagon, the bright-colored robes and
the dark expressive eyes of the Oriental
ladies peeping through their gauzy
walls, form most attractive feature Of
the Egyptian promenade, as you crowd
through the cosmopolitan bazar.
There, in the streets or passages, sits
the money-changer, clinking his cop
pers; he will give you hatful for u
napoleon. There, are venders of corn
cake and pumpkin cake. fresh fig and
date cake, and all sorts of greasy and
dyspeptic edibles; and there are end
less arrays of odd things in the shops
themselves-fromc curious idols, scara-
bees, and crocOdiles' teeth, to the anti
quated crooked stick plow; from the
delicate embroidery in silk, to the blue
overall stuff of the commOnest quality.
A characteristic feature of the pic
turesque panorama is the long troop of
camels, that come swaying, careening
through the mart, in file. But we may
not tarry too long in the streets of

Death in the Bail-ROom.

Miss Wilhelmina Townsend, q young
lady, died suddenly while dancing at an
evening party in Boston. A party of
young ladies and gentlemen, numbering
about forty couple, held a sociable in
Pythiaa Hall, and were having q merry
time. None were enjoying themselves
more than Miss Townsend. She had
during theevening danced several times,
and while waltzing, after having passed
around the hall few times, she sud-
denly fell from the arms of her partner
upon settee a corpse. At first it was
supposed that she had only tainted.
Medical aid was summoned, but too
late. Her father, who was present,
conveyed the body to his home. She
was little more than is years old.
The physicians pronounced it i case of
heart disease. The event SO worked
upon the nerves Of another one of the
dancers, named Sarah Pollard, that she
swooned, and was taken to the police
station and placed upon q cot, where
she lay in death-like stupor for nearly
two hours, at the end of which time it
was deemed best to convey her to her
home, she then showing but slight

present. Tilton's redirect examination
was continued, but developed nothing
of special interest. He said in relation
to the Winstead scandal that his wife
had suggested that the little school girl
should be taken there by him. She was
member of his family and protege
of his wife, and was sixteen of seven
teen years of age. Witness denied that
he ever indulged in riotous living. In
reference to Woodruff, he said all his
visits to her were in the presence of
her husband. In regard to Catharine

Beecher go into Mrs. Tilton's chamber,
and also to seeing Mrs. Tilton on
Beecher's knee in the parior, witness
said he remembered she was former
servant of Mrs. Tilton.
