A STATUE of Chief-J ustice Marshall, to cost
$4,000, is at last to be erected in Washing
ton. As far back as 1885 the bar of Penn
sylvaIia resolved to honor Marshall's men,
ory with statue, and with this end in view
proceeded TO raise fund.- The fund reache d
the sum of $4,000 and stopped for some rea-
SON. The treasurer was thrifty man, and
his care for that $4,000 WAS go good that it
is now found to have grown to $4,000. A
few days ago Judge Rawles, Wayne Mac
Vesgh and another Philadelphia lawyer,
visited Washington and had conference
with the Library Committees OF both Houses,
when it was agreed to add the Philadelphia
fund to like sum to be appropriated by
Congress and erect suitable monument
without delay. It was further agreed that

that he is an eminent artist aud sculptor, and
second, that he is the son OF Msrshsll's bosom

THE New Orleans City Rem tries to be funny
and severe by turns at the expense of Mem
phis because our health authorities have put
an embargo on the Introduction OF certain
goods and merchandise from Southern ports
after the 18Th instant. Instead of pursuing
80 silly course the Item should insist upon the
reorganization Of the Louisiana State Board of
Health upon a reliable basis. 1t is because
We have no faith in its state ments or repre-
sentaion', and because the inspection service
&C the National Board of Health has been
discontinued, that we have taken the step,
which will no doubt tell against the trade of
New Orleans But we must protect ourselves
at any cost. AS to what the lem says about
Wolf river it is all bosh, the sheerest nom
sense. Wolf river is not sluggish stream,
and the deGfsEs--,yiriel- it washes upon its
r. or discharges at its mouth is in no
sense ,ere deleterious to health that that Of
she Mifissippi itself. All the yellow-fever
Mem phIs1as ever been cursed with has been
imported eom New Orlears, into which city
j. was peinitsed 10 enter by the indifference
of the authorities.

FRENCH CAPITAL.
New YORK, July 15.-A Paris special TO
the Telegram says: reformation has been
received here, though Trustworthy source, TO
the effect that Arabi's plan of action, as de-
veloped at Alexandris, is the result of a con-
ference with his leaiing officers and advisers,
apd was determined upon before the arrival
OF the British neet st AtS4zsaiIfa. ms plan,
it is said, involved the evacuation and de-
sructiou of Alexandria within twenty-four
hours after the commencement OF the bonn
bardment. Arab was then TO proceed with
the remnant of his force TO Cairo, 10S miles
distant, destroying the railroad as he pro-
ceeded. Arriving at Cairo, he is to find that
city surrounded by a network of forti6ca-
tions, which have been erected under his
directions during the past three weeks, and
behind which he could successfully resist
any force that might be brought to bear upon
him for long time, and until an army of
1000 men would be at his command. The
most remarkable statement in connec-
ton with the matter is that Arab is in per-
feet accord with Ell Medhi, the so-called
False Prophet who is fast moving north
ward from the Soudau with an immense army
OF soldiers aud religious enthusiasts who re-
gard him as ihe Messiah. According to the
programme El Medhi is to march in the direc-
tion OF Cairo, where he will join the forces of
Arab, and the combined armies, inspired by
a religious fanalicisrn and blind devotion
to their chiefs, will be enabled to protrsct
the struggle for an indefinite period, and
possibly enlist the sympathy and support of
some friendly powers. 1t is reported here
that Germany has expressed her complete
approval of the understanding between
England and Turkey. 1t is highly probable
that Turkey after the discontinue of Arab
will be allowed 10 send few battalious to
Egypt TO assist Engl in the Reorganization
of the country. France now seems likely 10
have nothing to do with the settlement OF the
Egyptian question. Deep disappointment
and annoy ance are felt"

THE AMERICAN OFFICERS
WHO ORGANIZED THE EGYPTIAN ARMY SC
FAR AS IT HAS ANY EFFICIENCY.

The Egyptian army wss organized by
American officers, and as far as it has any
efficiency it is their creation. 1t was through
General Thsddeus P. Mott, and son of DR..
Valentine Mott, who had made his way TO
Constantinople and there married Greek
lady, that these gentlemen were induced to
enter the service OF the khedive.
General Mott served in Italy, and after
ward rose 10 the rank of brigadier-general in
the Federal army during the late civil war.
The best known OF these Americaos was
General Chsrles P. Stone, who almost imme-
diaiely became chief of staff, and soon after
firmly established himself in n post similar
In power and authority to that OF General
Won Moltke toward the German armies.
Other officers soon followed.
Among them the following ex-Confeder-
ates: General Loring, Colonel Phett, Gen
erai Field, Colonel Graves, General CoIson,
Colonel G. c. Long, Colonel Campbell, Col
oEel Frank Rsynor Colonel Wood. Colouel
Jenffsr. General Sibley, General Rey nolds,
Major Hunt, Colonel Sparrow Purdy aud
Majors Mason, Prout and Dye.
The career of General Charles P. Stone is
we'll known 10 all army officers, and had he
remained in his original position in the army
dist there is scarcely an officer OF the active
Sservice that would now rank hin. He was,
however, at the instsnce of the late Senator
Summer. sent 10 Fort Lafayette on charges of
reasonable conduct Al the battle of Balls
Bluff, and was subsequently, dismissed. This
event nearly upset his reason; but he rail-
lied, became mining engineer, snd
