American Officers in the Egyptian
Army.

Under Mohammed Ali and Ibrahim,
the Egyptian army attained compare
lively high degree of efficiency, as is
proved by the campaigns of the Morea
and Syria. The Khedive has done
much toward increasing this efficiency
and has called into his service several
American officers in place of the Euro
peans formerly employed. This was,
no doubt, mainly because of the impro-
liability of our country ever taking part
in European general wars, so that he
could count upon Americans standing
by him in any complication; while Eu-
ropean officers might at any moment
be ordered away by their governments
in the event of war, and, at the same
time, carry with them knowledge valu-
able to his enemies. These officers are
employed chiefly as topograph-
ical engineers on surveys
and explorations, being seldom
on duty with troops. They have been
engaged in extensive explorations, hav-
ing military, scientific and commercial
purposes in view. Most Of them have
done their work well, and the Khedive
told me that he was much pleased with
them, and desired more in his service.
But [ would by no means advise any
one doing well at home to accept a
commission in the Egyptian service
Two large parties under American
officers are now exploring Darfour, a
tedious and difficult task There were
others in the Soudan, with the English
General Gordon, an officer of whom all
spoke in the highest terms as man OF
great ability, energy, courage and hon
esty. Whether the advantages result
ing from the conquest of Darfour and
the Soudan viii be commensurate with
the cost remains to be seen.
In the recent Abyssinian campaign,
most of the American officers were with
the active army, and there is good rea-
son to believe that, had the Egyptian

commander, Ratch Pasha, followed their
counsels, his miserable fiasco would
have been converted into brilliant
success. They did their duty gallantly
and Loyalty, and deserved better COM
mander.
AS an instance of what has been done
| and the Khedive's manner of doing it,
will repeat statement made to me by
the officer concerned.
When this officer had been some
months in Egypt, the Khedive sent for
him one day, and asked wnat was the
worst thing he had observed in regard
to the army. He replied that it was
that the regiments were commanded by
civilians. The Khedive said:
"No, there is colonel for every reg
iment.n
"Yes,' said the American, "but
each colonel, chief of battalion, and
captain, has civilian clerk, who con-
trolls every thing relating to the pay,
rations, and clothing of the men, and
whoever does that really commands"
"You are right" said the Khedive;
"but how would you correct this?"
''By requiring that the colonels should
have sergeants as their clerks; the chiefs
of battalions, corporals; the captains,
private soldiers; and also requiring that
the officers should supervise, and do
much of the real work themselves"
"That means that the army should
learn reading, writing, and arithmetic!"
"That is exactly what I was coming
at, Your Highness." a.t.r..+ 80 8
The Khedive reflected for moment,
and then at once wrote an order to the
Minister of War, requiring that, from
that moment, no person in the army
(either officer or soldier) should be
promoted until he was master of read
ing, writing, andsarithmetic. The con-
sequence was, that the whole army i'm
mediately became school. Besides
the regimental schools, there have been
established military school for the
education of officers, and special schools
for non-commissioned officers of all
arms, for the staff corps, for the engi-
neers and artillery, and for the cavalry
and infantry.-Gen. Mcclellan, in jan
uary Scribaer.

A Romantic History Of Two Continents.

Three years ago, in the little school
| house in the little town Altoona, near
Hamburg, Prussia, of all the ed-cheek.
ed, fair frauleins little Emma
Ruppert's cheeks were the deepest
dyed and her curls were by far the
lightest colored. Though but fourteen
years of age, the little maiden did not
want for admirers; one, however, was
marked in the earnestness of his tlevo-
tion, and to him alone was accorded
the prize. The lad had, however, learn
ed of the wonders of the new world,
and how every one there quickly at
tanned to high and honorable positions.
So he left the little school-house and
the little fraulein-frst promising the
latter to send for her when he became
great and wealthy-and Altoona knew
him no more. But little Emma, too,
had become inspired with the idea that
the little town was no place for her; !;
she would hurry to the new world,
where every one was going, and where
her red cheeks and golden hair would
be admired more than ever before. Lit
tie Emma coaxed and pleaded with her
parents, and finally she gained her
point and was dispatched to America,
consigned to the care of her uncle and
aunt, residing in West Philadelphia.
The little fraulein, now over II years of
age, arrived in this city about five
months ago, and accidentally met her
old playmate. His devotion was re-
kindled, and soon the little fraulein was
his affianced wife. But the little one
loved too well, and he, in his
three years. sojourn in the new
world, had changed. 1t was the
same oft-repeated story of broken
promises and blind confidence. For q
short time the pair lived in a West Phil
adelphia boarding house, kept by one
John II. Smith. The young man one
day disappeared. He left the young
girl without penny in her possession.
She would not go back to her uncle and
aunt, she could not beg and she stole.
She needed clothes and food. From a
closet in the boarding g-house she took
S39, and left the house. The following
day an officer arrested her, and she was
taken to prison, where she remained
for twenty days. Yesterday, before
cuaSO DliSSo, LII 1lO <4uti tSI O0SSIOuS,
she pleaded guilty to the theft, but the
Judge kindly announced that he would
investigate the case. Mr.. Sampson,
Court Interpreter, interested himself in
the matter, and, yesterday afternoon,
produced the girls uncle and aunt in
Court. The uncle said that he was
perfectly willing to take the girl Aome
with him, and the Judge then sentenced
her to twelve days. Imprisonment from
the date of her commitment, emitting
her to her immediate release. The
trembling girl turned to walk away
with her uncle, when she was confront
ed with her aunt. She made a rapid
motion toward her to kiss her, but the
elder woman, less charitable than her
husband, waved her sternly back. The
poor girl sobbed aloud, and still crying
as if her heart would break, she left
the courtroom by her uncle's side, her
aunt walking silently behind.-Phila-
