murderer, attempted to lecture
in Washington City on the evening

took occasion to abuse the press of

Tales OF q Traveller.

UnQuestionably the sharpest pair or eyes that
ever left the United states On a sightseeing
tour are those OF sc. C.,"-the correspondent OF
prominent Baltimore paper,-now writing let
Iers Of travel for that Journal In late letter to
IL. giving an account OF his ascent OF the great
pyramid near Cairo and what he saw from the
top OF that structure, lie soberly says:
AFTER getting little breath, looked around
at the amazing panorama. ON all hands was
StupendouS deSOlation, or else oriental magnifi-
cence Cairo, with its glitterlng forest of spires
and the melancholy Nile, with a fringe OF pic.
turresque villages, were near at hand. Farther
on caught faint glimpSeS Of the ruins of Theoes
and Memphis. Mlnieh. Beni-Hassan. Stout,
Denderah Luxor, and other relics OF antiquity:
at my feet was the Sphinx: on the horizon the
great Ltbyan Desert
ranges them, theiP distances from the pyramid.
IN the direct Line or vision, are as follows: Men,
phiS, . miles; ThebeS. 80 miles: Minieh 80
miles; Benz Hassan, $50 miles; Stout, 200 miles:
Denderah 275 miles; Luxor, $40 miles. The air
OF Egypt must be wonderfully dry and pure II
all persons who have been there are to be be-
lieTed; but when this great advantage IS Offset
by the fact that the point OF view on top or the
pyramid IS only about 450 feet high; that all the
points named lie in the low valley OF the Nile.
and that high ranges OF hills intervene,-Thebes.
for example, lying behind a mountain spur
something over 9. 900 feet In helght,-one Cannot
resist the conclusion that the CORRESPONDENT :
glimpse OF most OF them must have been de-
cidedly faint The story reads much Ike one
an EDglishman might write home or seeing

ing. Pittsburg, and Cleveland from the dome OF

Black Eye for the River and Har.
Dor Bill.

The river and harbor bill, which ought really
TO be entitled "a bill to assist the reelection of
certain members OF Congress-" got very de
cided black eye In the House yesterday. Csu-
ally the amount appropriated 10 the bill has
been distributed among members enough 10
pass It, under suspension OF the rules, WITH
out loss OF time In debate. and attempts at op-
position have been summarily put down. Mr.
Cox, or New YORK, contributed very materially
towards the rejection OF the bill by showing
that the members OF the commerce committee
had, By an apparent mutual arrangement, set
apart the lions share OF the appropriation for
their own districts. The total amount appro-
pr1ated oy the Dill was 81 / 900 900, OF which &C
coraing TO the figures presented by Mr.. Cox, the
fifteen members OF the committee proposed
to distribute s. 900. 600 where IL would do the
most good for the fifteen. Some OF the OBJ
iects appropriated for In the Dill are
important public works, but a majority
OF the appropriations probably are for small
streams which could not be made navigable un-
less they were converted into canals 1t is quite
likely that at the next effort votes sufficient to
pass the bill will be rallied. but the opposition
10 this annual expenditure of money for distri-
button among the constituents OF members
seeking reelection is growing, and will, per-
haps, In the next Congress be strong enough to
XII Ii. or all the measures urged upon the
commerce committee not one had more to
recommend it than the appropriation asked for
the improvement OF the Potomac fats. 1t Is
probable that it possessed more real merit than
any provision Of the bill, for the reason that In
addition to a needed improvement OF the river.
Ii Is demanded as a sanitary measure. But the
District OF Columbia has no votes by which
congressman can be kept In public life, and the
money required for the most pressing OF pur-
poses was denied on the most fiimsy pretexts

The subject of appointment, under the new

ton, nor can any real advantage 60 one party

Justice is done. 1t IS a simple question re-
curing only determination of the ratio OF
representation, and then the allotment to each
state OF the number OF mem 5ers It's population

apporuonment Dill by the present Congress
would avoid the necessity OF extra sessions OF

thereby saving TO those states millions OF dol
lars, has been made manifest Ii figures by Mr..
Cox, Chairman OF the House census committee,
This Is an important item 10 the states having
legislatures now in session, and, apparently
maJorltieS In both parties In Congress are de-
slrous OF passing the law now: but the differ.
ence or opinion as TO the number or members
the House should contain threatens TO throw
the matter over until the next Congress shall
meet The next House will be almost equally
divided between the two political parties, and
should the question OF politics be forced into
the apportionment que5tion-tn the event that
body is called upon to pass the law-there
would be danger or It's failure for two years to
come. This IS a probability that should be
duly considered at present by those who would
avoid In the next Congress what may Drove an
1nterminaole political wrangle.
