Railroad Enterprise i'm Africa.

While the khedive is actively pushing
his explorations into the interior of the
Nile basin, the railway to the Soudan Is
being constructed under the direction of
the English engineer Fowler, the object
of which is to communicate directly with
the whole of that vast country which the
rapids in the Nile above the second cata-
ract had hitherto kept sealed up. The
length of the railway will be three hun
dred miles, and when completed, much
of the produce now coming by way of
Zanzibar will be diverted to Egypt.
The reports from the American otli-
GERS, who are on different line from
that taken by Stanley, are very satisfac-
tory. Col. Purdy, an American, in the
khedivo's service, of Darfour, now an
Egyptian province, reports the country
as healthy as well as fertile, and the eli
mate dry and cool. Grass and pastur-
age very abundant. He also reports
that cattlo are very abundant and thrive
well.
When the khedivo has completed his
railway to the upper Nile its produce
will tell wonderfully ON tho prosperity of
Egypt. Colston with Prout is now at
Obeld, the capital of Kordofau, and the
route leading thence to Debbe has bccn
found easy, with sufficient water. Prof.
Mitchell is still pursuing his investiga.
tions into the ancient Egyptian mines
back Of Kemmert, and has found several
with shafts, and implements to grind
gold out, used by tho old Egyptians
the richest lie has found yields e3 to the
ton.
The rails on the road to Soudan have
already been laid twenty-five kilometres
i'll length, and the difficulties are less
than anticipated.
At home the railway to Rosetta along
the coast line, is being rapidly pushed
In fact the llhedNe seems to have taken
the American motto of ego ahead as
his own.

Sergeant Bates,s Latest Project.

The irrepressible Bates, sometimes
known as Sergeant Bates, the flag carrier,
was in town yesterday making arrange
ments for new enterprise in his particu-
lar line, which he is soon to inaugurate
for double purpose. The great central
object, Of course, is to save the Union,
but aside from that it is to raiso funds
enough on the march to provide enter
tainment for the disabled soldiers who
may desire to visit Philadelphia during
the Centennial. In this enterprise tho
sergeant intends to enlist thirteen other
bodied ex-soldiers, one from each of
the thirteen original States. Each of
tho thirteen is to have some political
preferences, no matter what, and each
will provide himself with the flag of the
State he represents and repair to Boston
on or about the fourteenth of next Sep
tember. There the procession will form
on the blood-stained sod of Bunker Hill,
and the thirteen, wrapped i'll the banners
of their several States and mounted on
horseback, following the lead of /" his
nibs," who will be bedecked with tho
streaked emblem of liberty, will take up
their perilous line of march for Chicago.
On.the way hither they will pass through
as many cities and large towns as posi-
Bile, each of which will be laid under
tribute to the enterprise. Photographs
of the party and its individual members
will be sold, and speeches will be made
to such as may wish to listen at the rate
of twenty cents, OF some such sum, per
head.
After reaching Chicago the party will
repair to Vicksburg, Miss, whence they
will march through the principal cities
and towns of tho Southern States be-
tween that city and the national capital,
which they expect to reach in about four
months from the time of starting.
Should they reach that place alive,
which it is feared they will, history of
their wanderings will be written and Of
fered to long suffering public as an
other means of raising the desired fund.
T he sergeant claims that funds for de-
fraying the necessary expenses of the ex
pedition have already been guaranteed
by wealthy men i'll New York, and that
the whole thing is being indorsed by
some of the best men in the county,

in his dying condition out upon the scaf-
fold and hung. The bodies of the hus-
band and wife were removed to their
home and buried together. Subse-
quently, this tragic romance of real life
was made the basis of q novel which was
largely bought up, it is said, by Sharp's
friends. Later, about eighteen years ago,
drama was written by John Savage, the
Irish poet, founded ON the Beauchamp
history, and was on the point of being
produced Mt Louisville.
"I was at the Louisville theater that
night, remember" n lady in Kentucky
told me " it was in September, 1858.
The theater was very full. L forget the
name of the play, but it was understood
that its incidents were taken from the
Beauchamp tragedy, and Avonia Jones
was to have the principal part. The cur
tain was about to rise everybody was
in expectation, when it was announced
that a change of the programme had
been determined upon, and 'Thc Bride
of Lammermoor,' 1 believo-something,
at least, from one of Walter SCOTS
novels-was played instead. Gov. More
head, it was understood, had come down
on the evening train from Frankfort,
just in time to prevent the play, Offering
large sum of money on behalf of the
Sharp family to have it withdrawn and
not produced in Kentucky. There was
great excitement many insisted on leav-
ing the theatcr and having their admis-
sion money refunded, 1 remember.

Symptoms of HydrOphObia,

Bouley, French veterinary surgeon,
of great repute, gives these precautions:
Beware of dog which begins to be
sick. All sick dogs, us principle, must
be suspected.
Beware especially of ono which is sad,
morose, and seeks to solitude which
docs not know where to rest which
goes and comes, rambles about, snaps
and barks without reason whose looks
arc dull and gloomy, and whose bright
expression is lost.
Beware of the dog which looks about
and attacks imaginary phantoms.
Beware of one which is suddenly too
alloctionato, asking for your carcsscs by
his pitifrl repeated cravings.
Aud thus you will protect yourselves
from dangers to which you may be ex-
posed i'll your homes by dogs kept as
family pets.
The bark of the mad dog is thoroughly
characteristic so much so, indeed, that
any one familiar with it can decide with
certainty the presence Of a rabid dog
when this barking is heard. 1t is not
necessary either that the car be long ex,
ercisod to familiarity with the sound,
to obtain this certainty of diagnosis.
Also instead of the normal and success
sive bark, it is hoarse, lower in tone
prolonged, and not SO strong. After
the first bark made at full strength, a
series of five, six, seven or eight Others
Immediately succeed, lowered i'll strength
and thrown out from the throat.

Would Not Pay 1t.

Although Grace Greenwood was in
London on the Fourth of July, she didnot
attend the grand American banquet i'll
honor of the national anniversary. In
fact, the ungallant managers did not in
vite her. She did, however, have the
privilege of paying guinea for ticket
only single guinea-with the under
standing that for that modest sum she
might enjoy the inestimable privilege of
seeing "all tho swell Americans in Lon
don ;" and this is the way she tells
about it: In the early part Of the war,
when the contrabands were first coming
through the lines, squad of them
arrived in Philadelphia and were hos
pitably received by the colored people,
who soon announced a meeting at one of
their churches to welcome the fugitivcs,
to hear the story of their bondage, and
rejoice with them in their release. Our
cook, a member of the congregation, an
Ethiop of the darkest dye, Jealous for
freedom, went early, but returned soon,
with her nose in the air. questioned
her as to the cause of this speedy return.
"Was the meeting postponed ?" "No,
missus, but you see dey wouldn't let
nobody in at de door without ten cents.
Now, wasn't gwino to pay no ten cents
to see a lot of niggers L can see
enough of dem, and more'n L care to
SEQ, any day, for nothing"
