Y@Logan has become hero since his
refusal to fight Lowe. All this is quite
legitimate, but it looks rather strange to
SEQ the Republican papers attempting
to drag tho South into this fraternal
squabble. Lowe is a greenbacker of Re-
publican tendencies. A few weeks ago
the Republican press welcomed him to
their fold as one of the first mcu to break
the solid phalax of the South. To-day
they are endeavoring to make this un-
fortunate section of the country respon-
sible for him, because he happened to
serve in the Confederate army, when the
| fact is he represents the south no more
civilly than he does politically. 1t is
| said, by the by, thai the Grand Jury OF
! the District of Columbia have taken the
matter up and will indict Lowe for send
ing q challenge, which the laws of the
District prohibit under a heavy penalty.

had discharged him before his time was

their business by being too familiar with

"To address q person by his Christian

wise, is uncallcd- for familiarity, and,
therefore insulting to the party so al-

ployee toward the employer. Whilo it
may be customary for u poison to ad

nothing, but the want of it had cost the
plaintiff the loss of his situation. The
complaint was dismissed with costs.

THE EGYPTIAN FAMINE.

A correspondent writing from Egypt
years to see various forms of misery and
oppression among tho down-trodden
Fallahecn, 1 have never witnessed such
scenes of hopeless wretchedness as I be-
held this year. Scarcely ever-did and
my companions approach a village but
the thrilling "keen" of the women bcto-
kened q recent death, and these deaths
were always ascribed to starvation. In
one town, How, near ono OF tho largest
Khedivial sngarwor orlls, saw two men
actually dying of starvation in the oTen
street, the one an old man, the other in
the prime Of life. Both were SO utterly
enaclated as to Wear the appearance of
skeletons covered with brown skin. I
shall never forget the frightful, woltish
aspect of IL fellow creature in the same
neighborhood. He was n young man,
once good looking, whose wasted face
seemed all eyes, so much had the lower
part fallen away, who sat a nero bag of
bones, in the midst of q field from which
the sugar crop had been carried away,
ravenously gnawiug bits Of desiccated
cane brash. So weak was he that when
called to receive q small sum of money,
he could scarcely drag his emaciated body
up to the path, although it was but u
foot or two raised above the field. He re-
ceived the money without a sign Of pleas
ure upon his shrunken face-he was too
far gone for that. But when bethouGht
me of q dry cake of Arab bread, and gave
it to him. he devourel it rapidly, and
tottering after us he at length found
strength to express his thanks. Through
out the Saeed, the emaciation of the wo
men and children was something awful
to witness; literally, multitudes appear
ed to be absolutely fleshlcss.
