sui at Caiffa, will illustrate their ideas
quite we'll. The colony at Caiffa were
building wagon road, the second one in
Palestine FRONT Nazareth to Caifa, and
had finished ABOUT half mile Of it.
The Pasha of the town got notice of it
and wrote to the high official at Da-
mascus of the fact, and said that he
thought that it should be stopped as it
was sin to waste so much good land in
making road; and it was stopped!
The Arabs never change. They plow
with the same plows, irrigate in the same
way, dress in the same way. and have
many customs which are the same as those
depicted in the ancient pictures. The
idea Of improvement never occurs to them.
The Arabs in Egypt are much more civil
to strangers than the Syrians, and are
far more tolerant. In fact considerable
portion of the inhabitants are Coptic
christians. I would like very much to
say more about this strange race but can
not at present.
Our trip, generally, has been delightful
one, our large party Of forty working to-
gether very well, and the whole having
been done without anything to mar the
pleasure of the voyage. There
have been two slight acct
dents, resulting in sprained ankles
and two slight cases of sickness; but all
these lasted only few days. There
was more than the usual average of old peo-
pie among US, but there were several of
us young people, who had a glorious
time among ourselves. Of course there
were all sorts Of people in 50 large num-
Der, many Of whom were peculiar charac.
tiers and we all divided up into sets. Mr..
Brewster, especially, who is an American,
was always up to something and kept US
laughing good part Of the time.
When first went aboard, and saw the
assembly Of people, my heart sank within
me, for thought that had never seen a
more solemn gathering in my life; but as
time went by and l found out the agree.
able ones, one by one, my spirits rose
and I soon began to enjoy myself i'm
mense:y.
Nearly all of US were sorry to leave
the boat when we reached Cairo, and I
was one of the many who wished that we
could make the same trip over again.
The management of the trip might have
been improved, as we could never find out
an hour beforehand what was going to be
done: Only once was there any serious
draw back, however. On our arrival at
Luxor on the return trip, we found the
up steamer just come in with twelve pas.
sengers on board. The two parties rubbed
little in their various excursions, and
some ill-feeling was manifested. Our
dragoman had got the start of them
on the question of donkeys, and some of
them had to do without. Hence they
called us the ''forty thieves Several
of them in town came home drunk at two
o'clock in..the morning twice, in succession,
and created quite a disturbance, and so
we called them the ''de'il's dozen.'' We
had delightful weather the whole trip,
and only while we were lying still at AS
sonan and Luxor did we find it uncom-
fortably warm. shall look back upon
this voyage as one Of the pleasantest and
most instructive times of my life.

Ships in the Ice.

The steamer Dominion which arrived
at Feather Point the 7th inst, reports
having been caught in the ice IL days.
She saw and left the Polynesian and Lake
Champlain, and also one of Aliens ships
yesterday morning. The former is far in
the ice, and the latter clear. The Poly
nesian appeared to be all right. Alto
getaer she passed eight vessels in the ice,
which was very heavy.

PETER LoBEcK of Holmes City, Douglas
county, is another victim of accidental
shooting: He was walking beside his
wagon when he reached into the box for
his gun. Taking it by the muzzle and
drawing it toward him the hammer
caught and discharged it, the load pass
ing up bis arm and striking him ander
the ear killed him instantly.
A grand council of all the tribes of In.

to conciliate the warlike Indians, and,
probably, consider the propositions for
uniting under q regular territorial govern
ment.
