The crisis in Egypt has been postponed by
the surrender of the Ministry to the khedive,
but it is evident that it must ultimately come.
The members of the Cabinet have assumed an
attitude Of extreme humility, have kissed the

don. This has been granted rather ungra-
ciously, and the Khedive declares that he Will
sink personal differences for the good OF the

Talked Too Much.

A detective declares that men will talk
and give themselves away. II they
could only hold their tongues they
would be safe. An American vessel was
set on fire at sea and
abandoned; but the fire was smothered,
and it was afterwards found that her
cargo, which had been insured for large
sums, was fraudulent all the way
through, the wine casks being filled
with water, etc. The sailors swore that
the matches had been closed, and there
being no other way of getting into the
hold the cause of the fire bafled every
body, But the captain and mate, who
were both arrested, soon began to talk.
The mate was given to understand that
the captain had made a confession, so
he was in hurry to tell all he knew to
get out of the scrape himself; and with
the mates confession to show the captain
there was no difficulty in bringing him
out. The thing was SO well contrived,
if these men had not given it away it
could never have been found out. In
the cooks galley, under each of the four
feet of the stove, they put block of
wood, as if to raise the stove. Under
one of these blocks was hole opening
directly into the hold Under the hold
was lot of infiammable stuff, well soak
ed with turpentine. One day, while the
cook was out of his galley, the captain
and mate raised the stove, took away the
block, dropped o lighted match through
the hole, and the fire was started. These
two men not only talked themselves
into prison, but put their employers
in pretty scrape.

passes through a section as level as a

quite as much per acre and for years

Some of the reasons for such ap.

first place, the immigrant may be a

If this be the case he is making a sad
mistake. How is. the poor man going

occasional employment away from

poor and as bad off as himself, the

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 8. 1882.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5. 1882.
Dear Tribune:
A stranger in strange land l thought
few jottings might not be uninterest-
ing to you regarding sights and scenes.
The first. thing that struck me forci.
bly, was the small fenced fields saw in
Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania.
When got into one of their ''beauti-
full Valleys and suffered martyrdom
almost, with praises of scenery, etc.,
] inquired how the people made a liv-
ing. They pointed to some garden
patches which they called farms. l
told them l would suffocate if could
not get on top of one of the mountains
to breathe. They actually looked and
felt like tunnels filed with compressed
air.
Philadelphia is quite large place,
covering as much ground as London,
but after dozen or so years on the
prairie | thought l had got into the
wrong shop, The streets looked like
alleys and the houses old. The old
folks looked older; and the young folks,
well, if there was foot or two cut off
them | would know some ofthem.
This city has some magnificent
buildings; for instance the public
buildings which may be finished in the
next generation by spending one and a
half million dollars every year on them,
the Union depot, Young Mems Chris.
tan Association, &c.. &c. The city
is full Of churches, and the churches
are full Of people on Sunday. They
are all church goers and raise their
hands in holy horror when I tell them
that we have but one decent congre.
cation with four churches. The park
with its seven thousand acres is grand
place. have seen what is left of the
Centennial, viz: Memorial and Horti-
cultural halls. visited the latter and
found it to be grand place, filled with
tropical plants of every conceivable de-
scription and variety. The cost of
keeping the park in order this year is
$40, 464.50.
I must say word about politics:
From my observations I have con-
cluded that the Cameronian power is
not broken. You might as well try
to stem the tide with a hay fork as to
break the ring. st..
l owe you an apology for my lengthy
letter. If l write again l will give
you some account of Cape May, Ocean
Grove, Long Branch, etc., for am
bound to get out of this city of Mag
nifcent distances if I can. I have
travelled through it a week now and
have not seen wheat field yet.
