JERSEYS AND ALDERNEYs-J Jersey and
Attorney are only different names for the
same breed. In the English Channel, near
the coast of France, is a group of Islands
known as the Channel Islands, the princi-
pal Of which are named Jersey, Alderney
and Guernsey. Into Attorney and Jersey
were early taken, probably from the CONT
nent, cattle that have been well bread and
cared for. The Jerseyman's COW is his trea-
sure and pet. His horse he may treat up
kindly, and his sheep be neglected. but for
his COW nothing ofcare or attention will be
wanting To preserve the purity of the
breed, law was pissed in l7S9. prohibit
ing, under heavy penalty and forfeiture of
boat and tackle, the importation of any coz,
heifer, bull or calf. From such care in treat
ment and prevention of all crosses, has come
the breed known alike as Jerseys or Alder
neys. The Guernseys, although bred on ain
adjacent island, have not ben kept SO pure
and while they are in some respects similar
to the Jerseys, they are, as rule. larger
boned, coarser, and stouter than the Alder
neys or Jerseys.

\ slight skirnish occurred yesterday evening
near Ramch. Arab is intrenching on the sandy
ridge beyond Ralnlch nine miles from Alcxan
drla, where the engagement of Saturday took
place, aud the number of tents indicates that Inc
has 4 strong force there. He claims to have de-
fcatcd the British in that fight He has sou,t
troops Ismalil. the central point of the Sue7
Canal, from whence the governor has fled to Port
Said. General Wolselcy arrived at Gibraltar yes
terday on his way to take command in Egypt
The khcdive will to-day issue proclamation de-
claring Arab rebel, and responsible for the mas
sacrcs and the bombardlnont of Alexandria. II
is understood that the Sublime Porte will also
proclaim Arab to be in rebellion De Lessons
tclegraphs that the country is rising Ell masse to
support Arab and oppose the invaders. Turkey
is to mobilize 10000 troops. but its interference
in Egypt is conditional upon All understanding
with England.
The situation is considered to have grown more
warlikc during the past twenty four hours, and
the danger OF an open rupture with Turkey is in
crcaSing. In the British House of Commons
Saturday afternoon Sir Charles Dixie stated that
no engagement with the other powers for the
regulation of the political condition of Egypt and
the Suez canal has been either discussed or pro-
posed.
When the conference resembles Tomorrow
arrangements may be made for military conveu-
ton between Turkey and England and for inter-
national supervision of the Suez Canal.
Mr.. Gladstone says that arrangements have been
to Arab Pacha from England. Mr. Childers also
said that the newspaper correspondent who sent
from Egypt the exaggerated statement in regard

displeased at the immense appropriations
for pensions that they, assisted by the demo-
Gratis who feared to do otherwise lest their
loyalty be further questioned, have made,

in the Senate Messrs. Platt, Hawley and
Logan opposed further appropriations for

further trading upon spurious patriotism

Successful Strikers.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 9.-The dissatisfac-
ton among the laboring classes has extend
ed to some of the workers along the river
front, and the longshoremen employed in
loading grain vessels have been successful
in securing the higherrate of wages demand
ed. The strike was inaugurated several
days ago, when the men employed in load
ing cargo at grain elevator put in per-
emptory plea for an advance from 50 to 81
per day. Under compulsion to finish the
cargo loading within Il specified time, the
boss stevedore had no alternative but to
comply with their demand. This concession
was followed by general call for the same
rates upon all vessels loading grain, and
thus far the demands of the workmen have
been conceded.

present collector of taxes for that Hun
| dred, is TO be the sole Democratic can
didate for Sheriff at the next State cleo
| tion-that even Col. Tom Ford has been
, induced not to be a candidate against
him. This may be but the carrying
out OF scheme de vised and put i'll ope-
ration immediately after the late cleo
ton, which resulted in the defeat Of
Lynch, and this may account for tie
reasons why he was appointed by the
Levy Court collector of st. Georges
Hundred. At any rate Col. Lynch
seems to have made easy sailing for
himself or any other Democratic Gandi-
date in that Hundred by Wholesale |
disfranchisemen of Republican votes.
If Mr. Lynch had been collector OF the
whole of New Castle county there
would have been no doubt of his cleo
ton uext fall, provided he would get
the nomination.
five are not mistaken, however, Mr..
Lynch will be apt 10 discover that he is
no more popular with the people this
year than he was last, and if not more
than one-third of the Republicans are
disfranchised he will be as easily de-
feated this year as he was in 1880.

and yet whose names appear on the re-
turned delinquent list, should unite in

against having their names stricken
