gers, is quartered at the Mehger. l, is ru-
mored that Captain Oglesby will be candi-
date for the democratic nomination for sheriff
Of Maverick county. Mr.. Vaden the present
sheriff, positively declines nomination, he
having accepted more lqcraiiye employmentIn
the sheep business, and, with Characteristic
courtesy, has offered to resign in Captain Og-
lesby's favor, in order that certain legal re-
quirements answering his eligibility to Office
may be complied with. In this connection
the Eagle Pass Times said in recent issue:
'In the lower frontier counties, where Capt.
Osleshy is best known, his popularity is un-
bounded, and his reputation as the most eff
cient and energetic officer our gallant rangers
eyer had on this frontier, is inquest 'nable. 1t
is no detractlon from the merits OF any pos
sible competitor, t. say, that if Capt. Tom Og-
lesby consents TO be nominated, his election is
certain, and Maverick county will have the

The Dramatic Season.

y. y. THncS-DclnOcrat
The theatrical season of New York begins
this week; our own will follow in eight or ten
days. There is nothing very novel, very start.
ling or very exciting to announce. This year
the old system of companies will be stronger
and more universal than ever. The 2oo-odd
theatres OF this country have discharged all
their stock companies, and will depend entire
ly on travelling shows. The New York and
Boston theatres alone are employing actors by
the year, and even their companies will make
southern and western tours.
A canvass in the New York dramatic agen-
cies shows that $50 companies will be on the
road by the lst OF November. Judging by the
experience of past years, more than one-third
Of these will be shipwrecked in various por-
tons Of the 'untry and have to tramp back
to the metropolis, for the travelling company
system can scarcely be considered profitable
to the companies, however safe it may be to
the owners Of theaters who have only to draw
their as or 50 per cent. share of the "gate
money free from all ,i,k.
Of the new travelling companies I36 are de-
voted to the legitimate drama. Fl to comedy,
40 to opera, "a minstrelsy, II to spectacular
and II to legerdemain, etc. 1t will be seen
that opera companies will be stronger
than ever, and that the whole coun-
try will be flooded with Patience" "Billee
Taylor" and "Mascotte" troupes, ad nauseam,
many of them, probably. without good voice
in them. Comedy Companies, or rather
,roupes devoted to farce and burlesque, on
the other hand, are fewer in number than
usual, and the spectacular evidently going out
of date.
A study of the plays, operas, etc, that will
be presented by these various companies this
season, shows very little change or improve
ment over last year. Of the dramatic COM
panes, three-fourths are old ones, presenting
old plays, and not more than twenty new
productions will appear in the entire
country, while such a thing as new
opera is undreamed Of There seems to
be wild desire everywhere this year for New
York successes. There are no less than four
"Hazel Kirk" companies already in The field,
while "Esmeralda," which succeeded it, and
is very similar, will also be presented by as
many Companies.
Altogether, the dramatic world of America
has not much to congratulate itself over. /,
has certainly not improved or progressed dur
ing the past few years, either in new plays or
in dramatic talent: l. has got in a rut-traVel-
ing Companies where it seems likely to re-
main for many years to come. 1t is demosal-
izing to American talent, both to the play
wright and actor, and TO the American public
as we'll, whose taste is being vtiated by this
careless. system OF GaCideing plays.

The Poltische Correspondent thus DIES
cribes the component parts OF the Egyptian
army: at consists, first, of tellahs who have
nroperty: secondly, Of fellahs who have no
property, and, thirdly, OF negroes The TEL
labs who have property are ruled by the
thought of speedy return home. Arab and
hi, Colleagues promised to dismiss them as
long ago as the Ist Of February, 1880, and
ever since desertions have increased surpris-
inely. The deserters are brought back by
force and in chains, but as the authorizes dare
not punish them they soon desert again. lheY
assert that Arab and his companions would
never have become what they are without
their (the fe!lahs) help, and are allowed TO en-
terrain this belief as a means OF keeping them
faithful. For mo!e than a year they nave
been very irregular in exercising, and many
oersons wonder that they are allowed still to
keep guard. The felahs without property, on
the contrary, never desert. They have be-
come accustomed to garrison life. Those
who can read and write, and who are no;
above 20 or 90 years OF age, become gendarms
or policemen; the rest remain in the army,
and when it is absolutely necessary to reform
them they are sent to the coast forts or into
the capitals of the provinces. This class may
be considered the most solid portion OF
the Egyptian army. But it is doubt
full whether they will remain faithful to Arab
Pasha unless he can make them believe that
he is acting under the Khedive's orders. 1t
is certain that many would be inclined to leave
If they did not fear losing their living. These
however, are the minority. Lastly, the ne
procs are slaves from the Soudan, gathered
from various points, and were mostly taken
from slave holders and put into the army when
Ismail Pasha made the treaty with England
TO abolish slavery. 70 these negroes the
Khedve is an impersonal being, and they, at
tach themselves to their officers, from whom
they would not he easily seduced. They are
savages who do not fear death, although
they are somewhat ef'eminated by the
life in Cairo When the officers
desire that the negroes should accomplish
some movement they provide thiH
lavishly with buza, kind of beer, and thus
intoxicated the savages would equally kill the
khedive while invoking his name, or allow
themselves to he hewn to pieces for his sake,
according to the orders they received. They
are all married, and their wives, who have
ere,t influence over them. follow them to tbs
ii I'D. They know no discipline, and would.
should their wives he in danger, dlsobey all
orders. The most of the Egyptian army,
however, consists of the :e!ahs. There are
very few rurkS and TscherkeSSes among the
higher grades of ofhcers. All the others are
Egyptian parvcnuas, Who have worked up
their way from the pike.
