FATTENING SMALL PIGs.-Corn at
seventy cents bushel is still the
oheepest fattening food for pigs but
when corn is so dear il is best to study
the most economical manner of feeding;
corn in the ear bolt with small pota-
toes, will be worthtwice as much dry as
corn and raw potatoes. Indeed raw pota-
toes will scarcely do more than support
life, and may often he injurious, being
indigestible and erastic in their effects
upon the bowels. Corn, meal boiled TO
a thick mush and mixed with skim
milk and fed when nearly cold, will
make the cheapest pork. A bushel of
corn fed in this way has made twenty
four pounds of pork. Corn-meal steep
ed in water is about as good as boiled
whole corn, and the latter is the cheap
er of the two, Pigs do not thrive
well upon warm feed, and they do bet
ter with four light meals day than
with two heavy ones

APEaEmPTORY MANDAMUs
Asked by the New York Merchants 70
Compel the Railroads 10 Do
Their Duty.

New YORK, July 18.-Argument began
to-day in the Supreme Court upon the appli-
cation for q peremptory mandamus against
the New York Central and Erie railroad
companies 10 compel them 10 receive and
transmit freight promptly.
simon Stein, counsel for the merchants
said that incalculable damage had been and
ia still being done because of the illegal and
pertinacious neglect of the companies in the
PREMISES. stating that the estim ated losses 10
the merchants had been 100000 daily.
He also said that afidavits showed that the
only reason given by the companies for this
neglect was that they had refused to employ
men competent 10 perform the work of the
removal and handling of freight.
Ex-Judge Shipman, for the railway COM
psnies said that when a mans freight was
detained at the railroad depot he had the
right. by action at law, for damages sus-
tanned. but not for mandamus No such
authority had been vested in the attorney
general by the statute as that which he here
assumed.
Counsel Questioned the right of the at
torney-general 10 assume the supervision OF
common carriers in regard TO the shipment
OF freight. II may be said that the tenn
porary inability of the roads to carry its
freights diverted trade from the State, but
tnl5 Qlu not give thc OOurt tHc power 10
grant the mandamus applied for.
After recess Colonel James Regan began
his, srgument for the merchants. He re-
viewed the history of the strike in connection
with The blockade of freight, and contended
that corporation holds it's powers as trust
to be used for the public good. They were
private institutions as far as income was con-
cerped, but we're public servants when acting
as common carriers. Railroad charters were
granted for the extension of commerce, and
when the inaction OF company endangered
attorney generals duty TO interfere. The
application had nothing TO do with the strike,
as the companies, if they performed their
work, might epploy whom they pleased.

Senator Conkling will argue the question

GENERAL sEAuREeARp.
HOW HE LOST THE APPOINTMENT TO I'll
COMMAND OF THE KHEDIyE's ARMY.

HOW HE LOST THE APPOINTMENT TO THE
COMMAND OF THE KHEDIvE's ARMY.
A story is published in the Baltimore Day
that George FL. Butler, the nephew OF Gen.
eral Butler, while consul-general to Egypt
in 1870, prevented the appointment of Gem
eral Beauregard to the position OF COM
mander-in-chief of the Egyptian army, and
is confirmed by Mr.. Butler. The Baltimore
story puts it that Mr.. Butler represented TO
the khediye that Beauregard was an unpar-
doned rebel who, having betrayed his own
country, might not hesitate upon occasion to
betray the khedive. General Beauregard's
designation of General Butler as an outlaw
for mis- waT acts was supposed 90 be the
anim@ that moved Mr.. Butler, who says,
regarding the affair: II was ON friendly
terms with his highness, Ismail Pasha, then
the khedive, and he took my advice in the
matter. My action went no further than
friendly counsel, and did not, Of course, take
the form of Official action. / would have
aided the appointment of such a man as
Joe Johnston or General Gordon. But,
frankly. there wasn't room in Egypt for
Beauregard and myself at the same time.
Besides, the khedive already had one really
good American field general in his service,
who saved his army in its disastrous Abys-
sinian campaign, General Loring. Rahib
Pasha commanded the army, but Loring
saved it when King John had almost crushed
it. Loring was a distinguished Confederate
soldier and formerly the colonel of our reg
ular mounted rifles, now the Third Cavalry,
before the war. The insinuatiou that my
action insquelching Beuregard was prompted
oy sectionalism is entirely an assumption. i
kept General Beauregard out OF Egyptian
gold lace and piastres purely because l con-
sidered him an eminent mistake"

gets fed, clothed and housed and has very
little 10 do. This means great deal to an
Egyptian. He is cure of the necessities of
life and has time to work for and enjoy
the luxuries. The soldiers naturally
resented the attempts to deprive them
OF these valuable privileges and Arab
Bey was wise enough TO see that he could Sc
cure the support OF the entire army by re-
sisting the attempts to reduce it. Although
in the past the khedive and Arab have been
acting together in the national cause, do
not believe there are any relations existing
between them now, the khedive having
abandoned Arab and his projects when he
found the latter was leading him into war
with England. The khedive, think, is en-
tirely nonplussed. Things have taken a turn
which he did not anticipate, and he does not
know which way to turn"

THE LAST STAND
BY ARAB PAsHA TO BE MADE AT A FOB
TwENTY-sIx MILES NORTH OF CAIRO.

BY ARABI PASHA TO BE MADE AT A FORT
TwENTY-sIx MILES NORTH OF CAIRO.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-Colonel A. s.
Boerstein, who spent several years in Egypt,
ending in 1877, and who wrote book called
The Land Of Egypt, said to-day with regard
to Arabi's opportunities for defense outside
OF Alex andria: "Cairo has no forts except
the citadel, which is armed with antique
worthless guns that could be shelled out in a
short time. There is a very strong Fort, how
ever, on the Nile, twenty.six miles from
Cairo, toward Alex andria, on which the gov
ernment has spent vast amounts oi money
and time. 1t is really very strategic point,
being, in my opinion, the key to Cairo. If
the English can take that fort they can walk
right straight into Cairo, after bombarding
the citadel for short WHILE"
"Will Arab Bey make a stand at that
point. do You think?"
"Undoubtedly, because he knows he can
not make a successful stand at Cairo, nor
will he 60 into the desert. | do not think
Arab will fight until he arrives'at that fort.
He will make a determined stand there, and
if defeated will fall back on Cairo, in which
event a general massacre of Europeans will
follow. The populace will be so worked up
by their fanaticsl Mahometan teachers that
women and children will participate in the
reign of terror and immense numbers OF
Europeans will be killed. Should battle
ensue in Cairo the carnage would be dread
full on account of The narrow streets. 1t Is
to be hoped peace will be declared before
that city is reached. The Egyptians are un-
merciful, especially II worked up on their
religion, and L appreheud. serious conse-
ouences when Cairo is reached"

THE FRENCH DEPUTIES.
DEBATE ON THE EGYPTIAN QUEsTIoN-T
POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.

DEBATE ON THE EGYPTIAN QUEsTIoN-THE
POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
PARIS, July 1S.-In the Chamber of Depu-
ties to-day debate was begun on the Egyptian
question.
Mr.. Defreycinet said he recognized the ex-
istence in Egypt OF aspirations which must
be taken IN account of the nascent nation
ality for which Europe must show solicitude.
1t was necessary to restore order, but at the
same time TO see whether the institutions of
the country ought not to be modi-
fed. Mr.. Defreycinet said he considered
that armed Intervention, which a few weeks
ago was not justified, had become impera-
tive since the occurrences in Alexandria in
which French subjects have been molested
and massacred. This state of things, he
declared, constituted for France the right to
intervene. In view OF the present state
of affairs, however, the president of
the government must endeayor to act
With Europe The English allisnce,
he said, had never been broken, but
France wished simulta neously to appeal 10
European concert. England had taken
the initiative in having recourse to Euro
pean concert. France at once acceded De-
freycinet continued that Turkish troops will
intervene under authority of the khedive
without entering into the internal affairs of
Egypt. Ii Turkey refuses we shall prob
ably receive a mandate from Europe to in
terfere, but shall only accept on condition
of its being well defined. The Suez
canal ceases to be free, even ii France
must be one OF the powers who will have 10
protect it; but, even in regard to the canal,
France desires to submit the question TO the
conference, while reserving liberty of action.
An understanding in this sense was concluded
yesterday with England. The English al
lance and European concert have been
points kept in view throughout by France.
Gambella spoke in approval OF Defrey
cinet's course in adhering to the alliance
with England, but said he considered the
credits demanded insufficient. He censured
the cabinet for scceptipg Turkish interven-
tion. and asked il it was possible 10 guaran-
tee that the Turks would not enter into coll
lusion with the Egyptians. He concluded
by declaring that he and his friends would
vote for the grant IN order to rescue Egypt
from Mussulman fanaticism.
Debate then adjourned until tomorrow.

ALEXANDRIA, July 1S.-Last night was
quiet. The lines are now very strongly
guarded. The fires are nearly all extinguished.
The police arrangements are thoroughly
effective.
A correspondent has opened commuuica-
tion with the camp OF Arab Pasha, which,
his informant SAYS, consists of little over
5000 men, who are intensely discontented and
surrounded by starving women and children.
Recruits of the lower class are still being en-
ticed by Arab with promises of unlimited
plunder, and the force is held together by the
assertion that the English will kill all re-
turning to the city.
Arabi and Toulba Pacha as have utterly lost
prestige by their gross cowardice during the
bombsrdment. The artillerymen were kept
at their guns on the 11th instant by Infantry
posted under cover.
The khedive states that 200 Europeans
have been killed at Kair Eldwa.
The numerous executions at Alexandra
excite some comment among the Liberal
party In the press and Parliament.
The idea of occupying Ramleh has been
abandoned. Five hundred marines will
occupy the seven different centers which is
expected to place the whole town under
efficient surveillance. Native police are
being organized to act under the military
police, and detective force has been insti-
tuted to search fol. suspicious persons.
There was an attempt last evening to set
fire to st. Marks buildings, the headquarters
of Americans in Alexandria.
