The Alexandria correspondent of the Lon
don Times, writing under date of April 80,
describes the effect of the declaration of war
upon Egypt. He says that no one there
knows how Egypt will ultimately be effected
by it. The natives are confident that Tur-
key will beat Russia if the other powers do
net interfere, They also believe that Eng
land will stand by her old ally. They them
selves shrink from taking any active part in
it, having been so reduced by debt and hay
ing been too often conquered to have much
patriotism. As 10 the contingent he says !:
'.An Egyptian contingent is already in Tur-
key, and it is hoped no further demands for
aid will be made. But really nobody knows
what will happen. we must hold aloof,'
says one, under cover of our dilapda:ed
finances 'We must go in and fight says
another, 'lor the sake of our religion sAll
depends on England says third, and per-
haps he is not far from right" The Khediye
has been very tardy in complying with the
demand from Consiantinople to send large
auxiliary force, we'll found as to arms and
commissariat, to the Turkish army; also pro-
viding funds for the pay of this military con-
tingent. TIE alleged excuse for delay is
that he has, or Immediately will have, war
with Abyssinia on hand, and has to look after
his own defences. One statement is made on
the somewhat untrustRorthy authority in a
French journal Of letter from Cairo, that
the Khedive, who has several regiments of
camels incorporated with the Egyptian army,
has intimated to his feudal lord, the Sultan,
that two or three of these quadfupedal bat
talions are entirely at his service, if his Sub.
Unity will be so gracious as 10 accept them
1t is we'll known that not or ordinary roads,
which are hard, even when good, but on
sandy deserts, are cames able to travel. It
is estimated that Russia possesses $4,000
camels in her Central Asiatic Provinces; that
China and Mongolia have 100000; Persia and
Asiatic Turkey together 100000, and Egypt
and Arabia 100000 also. In the French col
pny of Algiers there are 100000, and in the
Punjaub 10000. But the Khedive alone
has utilized these patient and hard-worked
animals by using them as species of cavalry

How it Strikes the Whilom Independent,

The death Of Cornelia Ch solm so deeply in
tensifies the public horror at the bloody affair
in Mississippi that the Kemper County tragedy
threatens to become political catastrophe.
The spectre of this heroic young girl, with her
Sweet intelligent face, brown hair and large
resolute blae eyes," shot to death while trying
to save her father from the murderous mob,
shielding him with her shattered hand, struck
in the face and pierced with bullets, dy-
ing at last martyr of fiial devotion,
puts argument to flight and defies cool
judgment 1t may be true that the feud
which has reached this shocking termination
was not entirely political quarrel Yet the
Northern people will be sure to decide that
Chlsolm, his son and daughter, McLelland
and Gilmer were all massacred because they
were Republicans. The indignation of the
Northern press is not likely to affect the people

THE Cincinnati Gazette sustains the policy
OF the President. Yet, answering question
as to what a correspondent said, it remarks ::
''He might have truthfully said that there is
much dissatisfaction in Ohio with the policy
of the Administration and that this would
tell unfavorably, negatively, in an election if
held at this time; but Republicans would see
things differently before October, and that
the partys uld be stronger in the fall of
1877 than it was in 1876" 1t is to be hoped
this latter view is correct. Ohio of all States
ought not to be in doubt. The recent ac-
ceptance of its dubious position. as if it were
almost matter of course, has presented
curious and unpleasant sign.

LAST year Mr.. Henderson, an inspector of
factories in Great Britain, visited this coun-
try to inquire into the condition of the man
ufacturing classes and to compare the prac-
tical workings in the two nations. His con-
clusions are now published. He thinks the
operatives are about as well off in one coun-
try as in the other. In period of low wages
they are better off in England; with high
wages they have more advantages here.
They dress and live better here, and this re-
duces their savings. In one respect the COM
parison is greatly in our favor and that is in
temperance. He thinks the intemperate
habits of the English operatives a serious
drawback in the competition. And he is
glad to find that the relative number OF
women and children at work in the factories
here is less than in England.
The Portland daily press., 1877-05-19

The trades.union feeling against women
doctors is making a hard fight in the Univer-
sity OF London. Not many weeks ago the
senate of that university decided by major
ity of two to one to avail itself of the act of
Parliament passed last year enabling the
universities at their discretion to grant medi-
cal degrees to women as they do to men. It
is not supposed that there is the least reason
to fear that the decision will be reversed.
Still, ve-y great effort is being made by
the offended doctors to get it reversed. A
petition, signed by more than 23O medical
graduates of the university, has been pre-
sented to the senate, entreating it to recon-
slider and rescind its resolve. The Spectator
says: "1f young medical men are likely to
have their prospects of work and success in
jured by the entrance into the field of these
female competitors, it is clear enough that
there must be real desire for the advice of
these female competitors and real sphere.
1t is hardly in the present day that a number
of highly instructed men will listen to the ad-
vocates Of a new monopoly, and exclude
women from the exercise of beneficent pro-
fession because their earnings are likely to
diminish the wages of men. Literary men
might just as well apply for an act to prevent
women from writing novels, or criticisms, or
leading articles yet if they did, what con-
tempt the more educated physicians would
feel for such strange vagary of selfish fear
on their part. The argument from medical
students self-iuterest is indeed as crazy as it
can be. Either they have nothing to fear,
and then it should not be urged; or they have
something to fear, and then the interests of
the public are opposed to theirs, and their
selfish claims must give way"

A Charming Snake Story.

Mr.. Sam Gentry, living over the line
in the adjacent county of Stewart, has
in his possession purse made of the
tanned skin of rattlesnake, which he
caught and killed under the following
circumstances In going along a path
in wheat-field he came across the snake
lying at full length before him, mani
testing no disposition to retreat or at
tack, and apparently waiting for some
thing to turn up. Mr.. Gentry, who is n
practical mesmerist, concluded to try
his powers upon the dangerous reptile
before him, reasoning that if snake
can magnetic bird, why can not man,
endowed with greater mesmeric power,
put snake under the power of his will?
Taking his position at the side of the
dangerous but quiet subject, he made
quick undulatory passes with both hands
from the head to the tail, and in few
moments had the satisfaction of seeing
the quake completely within his power
charmed, magnetized, mesmerized,
whichever it may be properly called.
Placing one of his hands in front of his
subject, it Immediately crawled on his
right arm, then over his neck to the
left, Gentry in the meantime continuing
the mesmeric passes. He then carried
the rattlesnake home on his arm, when,
under his direction, one of his sons
opened its mouth and unfolded its fangs,
the snake quietly submitting to the novel
operation. After fully satisfying HIM
self and number of his neighbors, who
were present and witnessed the affair, of
the truth of his theory, he cast the snake
to the ground, killed it, stripped off the
skin, tanned it, and made himself a
purse, which he has ever since carried
about his person-Trigg County (Ky)
