THE CITY OF ALEXANDRIA.

APPEARANCE PROM THE Seattle OLD AND NEW
CITY-THE DWELLINGS AND STORES.
While Alexander the Great was sailing along the
coast of Egypt, intent upon visiting the temple OF
Jupiter Ammon, he came suddenly upon fine har-
Dor. Within, the shore, there was delightful
island. 1t was the first good harbor he had found,
and his eye quickly saw within its recesses good
site for a city, He founded the city subsequently,
and named it Alexandria, This was III the year
332 b. C. The modern City of Alexandria is near
the site of the ancient one and is thus described:
at stands partly on what was the Island of
Pbaros now a peninsula, but mostly on the sthmus
bv which il is connected with the main land. This
was originally an artificial dyke, connecting the
island with the land opposite; but through the
constant accumulation of soil and ruins, 1t has at
tanned its present dimensions. The principal pub
lie and Government buildings are on the peninsula.
The ancient city was situated on the mainland adj
iacent to the modern town, and the extent OF the
ruins that still exist sufficiently attests its great
ness The general appearance of Alexandria is by
no means striking, and from its situation its en-
virons are sandy, fiat and sterile. 1t was formerly
surrounded by strong turreted walls, with extern
sive outworks but in various parts the walls have
been destroyed to make way for improvements In
the Turkish quarter the streets are narrow,
irregular and filthy, and the houses and i'll
built. The Frank quarter, on the other hand, pre-
sents the appearance of European town, having
handsome streets and squares and excellent shops.
In the suburbs are numerous handsome villas, with
pleasant gardens Among the principal PuDhc
buildings are the palace of the kbedlve, the Naval
Arsenal, the Custom House, ETC.
Alexandria has two ports, an eastern and western.
The latter called the Old Port is by far the larger
and better of the two 1t extends from the town
westward TO Marabout, nearly six miles, and Is
about mile and half in width. The western en-
trance to the harbor has its western boundary about
three-eghths of a mile from Marabout Island, is
about half mile wide, and has from 20 to 27 feet
of water when shallOwest. Within the harbor
ships NAV anchor close to the town in from % to
40 feet of water. The population in 1871 amounted
to 219,6O2 in number, of whom 53,S29 were

In this way of reasoning, they very

him. A very sensible conclusion.

The Democratic- Greenbsok
Nominee.

From the Kittanning Free Press.l
The result of the Democratic and
Greenback Congressional Conference
is best expressed by an interview we
had with a prominent Democrat and
Greenbacker respectively. Calling on
our Democratic friend we said:
Well, you have had your Congress.

"Think of ii" said he, "think of it,
think very little of it. I'll not mix
such stuff with my pure Democracy.

Continuing, he said:

what record that is to present to the

Why the conference did not make any

IF WE, KNEW.

. IF we knew the cares and crosses
Crowding round our Eeighbor's way,
,lf We knew the little losses.
Sorely grievous day by day,
Would we then so often chide him
For his lack Of thrift and gain.
Leaving on his heart a shadow,
Leaving on our heart stain?
If we knew tle clouds above US,
Held by gentle blessings there,
Would we turn away all trembling,
In our blind and weak despair?
Would we shrink from little shadows,
Lying on the dewy grass.
While tits only birds of Eden,
Just in mercy flying past:
If we knew the silent story.
Quivering through the heart of pain,
Would our womanhood dare doom them
Back to haunts Of guilt again?
Life hath many tangled crossing,
Joy hath many break of woe;
And the cheeks tear washed, are whitest
This the blessed angels know.
Let US reach into our bosoms
For the key to other lives,
And with love toward erring nature,
Cherish good that still survives;
So that when our disrobed spirits
Soar to realms of light again,
We may say, dear Father, judge US
As we judge our fellow men.
