War in Egypt

War in Egypt.
Cairo, Sept. l7.-Araba Pasha saws he
was compelled to fight against his will. He
maintains a calm, resolute demeanor.
Arab informed General Lowe he trusted
himself to English honor, as soldier whose
army had been defeated. Gen. Lowe re-
piled he could not discuss the question of
war, his only mission being to arrest him.
Arab considers DeLesseps shamefully be-
trayed the national Egyptian party who de-
pended upon his assurances that he would
prevent any landing of troops or war ma

taking their Remington rifles. Throughout

tack Telel Kebir at midnight and they re-

a PRACTICAL VIEW OF THE MATTER.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In TIE months of April and May, 1865, was
with my regiment in Alabama The armies of
Lee and Johnson were breaking up, and the
defenders of the stars and bars were returning
to their homes as best they could. Often |
heard these poor men say, with tears in their
eyes, when we were giving them of our rations,
" | don't know how | should ever get home
were it not for you Yanks. We are driven
from the houses, and not even allowed shelter
at night on the floors of their p;aZzas. You
know how well we have fought you, and suf-
fered for these people who have stayed at home,
and now to be treated so is hard" l did not
1hen think a like spirit could be found at the
North among those men who stayed at home
and became rich by reason of the war. The
Union soldier returned home with broken con-
stitution from hardships and exposure that
none but those who served in the field can
know, and now we are told by these stay-at-
home men that we received our pay for our
services, and should not be pensioned. If these
men think by the building of churches and
seminaries Il might well say with the blood,
flesh, and bones OF the Union soldier they are
to gain heaven, they will find themselves mis-
taken. The Almighty is not blind. They may
obtain commendation and praise from some of
their fellow-men, but there are others who can
see their hypocrisy. If it has come to this let
the Union soldiers unite in demanding their
rights. Let us make a political issue. Our
Government is rich, and can well afford to give
us pensions. Let the internal-revenue tax on
patent medicines alcoholic liquors, and tobacco,
which does more harm than good, be continued,
and give it to the broken and prcmaturely old
men who gave their services to their country
when in peril. l feel that the work of your
spaper in the interest of the ex-soldier of the
Union army should receive hearty support
from every officer and private. l enclose one
dollar fer one years subscription.

THE AURORA BoREALIs DISPLAY.

The aurora display on Sunday night last was
the most brilliant and beautiful that has taken
place for many years. il began about 10
o'clock with q thin line rf liglit in the northern
heavens, parallel with the horizon. Streaks Of
gauzy white clouds Of a pyramidal shape shot
upward from this base, gradually increasing in
number and brilliancy until at 1880 D. m
fully one-half of the sky was afame with the
shooting lights of varied tints, and the waves
Of electricity rolled over the city like the hcav-
ing bosom Of troubled sea. In the northwest
the northern lights. rs they are popularity
styled, were especially beautiful. A heavy
mass Of cloud light raised itself above the tops
of the houses and slowly assumed ruddy hue
contrasting strongly with the fantastic spires
darling ont apparently from its shelter. At
one time the waves Of light were continuous
and the atmosphere below the line of the aurora
was very peculiar in appearance, and to those
unfamiliar with the harmless character of the
phenomenon somewhat awe inspiring The
colors represented, though exceedingly delicate,
were prisnatic and easily pointed out The
lights gradually assumed the shape OF cone,
with its base in the north, northwest and north
east. and its apex extending far beyond the
zenith, containing within itself innumerable
minor cones very bright and beautiful. After
midnight the display died away, leaving the
ek% lighted up for several hours. Tho effect of
the auroI. borealis upon the line. of telegraph
wires was somewhat disastrous. 1t played such
tricks upon the wires that at one time il was
impossible for the New York Office Of the
Western Union to secure communication with
Chicago, and messages between intermediate
points were sent with great difficulty
