Affairs in Egypt.

ALEXANDRIA, July 2.-It is reported Arab
Bey is now commencing operations against the
Suez canal. Barges Iloaded with stones were
sent down to be sunk where necessary, and ex-
plosves are also being hurried down.
England is most dilatory in not sending gun
boats to guard the canal. Arab is now at Da-
miella looking after the coast defenses. Ma
taves are thrown out of employ by the exodus
OF Europeans are being pressed into service.
General Stone it is greatly feared is throwing
in his lot with Arab and is endeavering to do
his utmost to hamper English action. His con
duct is generally inscrutible and is universally
blamed. Americans, long resident, argue that
Americas interests and England's ought to
work together.
ALEXANDRIA, July 2.-Bedouins are cross
ing from the Syrian side into Egypt and are
very serious source of anxiety.
The impressment of recruits continues, in
consequence of alarming rumors from Cairo,
and orders have been issued to the military to
make special exertions to maintain order.

their possession copies of plan for blocking

A TRAGEDY OF TODAY.

The long, sinuous, half-liying, half
breathing monster, with its freight of
human bodies and human souls, sped
on its way from ocean to ocean. The
weary mortals that it bore felt every
joint and sinew within their tired
frames throb and ache with the unac-
customedness of the rapid transit, and
turned in vain from scanning the mo-
notony Of the prairie scenery to the still
more monotonOus and unchanging faces
and conversation Of their fellow-travel-
ers.
One only among them all held some
claim to interest even after the tedious
ness Of hours Of comranionship. One
only seemed as one set apart as an
outsider, whose way might lie with
theirs for the present, but whose life
or purpose they might never know.
When she had entered no one could
tell, whittier she was bound none among
them could ascertain, though, in the
first glow Of interest at the welcome
sight of strange face, many had gath
cred about, and, under one pretense
or another, had asked the question,
only to be met with so chilling and yet
SO timid response, that out of mere
kindness to her as well as respect for
themselves they could advance no
further.
So she had been left to herself and
her own thoughts-this young, girlish
woman, with her English skin and
English voice-and her thoughts were
not dear companions just then, to Judge
from her set mouth and frightened
eyes-eyes that grew shade by shade
less fearful as mile after mile was left
behind.
The train official when questioned

might have told, had not a keen sense

woman with frightened eyes, coming

A RICH G1R1,s BRIDAL CHAMREr

A RICH GIRLS BRIDAL CHAMBER.
"A gorgeous bridal chamber has just
been completed for the reception of a
bride who has never known the want
of money and by whom one hundred
dollars is spent with as little thought
as many people would tender ten-cent
piece. The walls are covered with
heavy white satin, tufted with gold
buttons, and mirrors are interjected
here and there. The ceiling is painted
in the most artistic manner and the
curtains are of white silk, embroidered
in gold and rich colorings in floral
designs. The curtains are mounted on
gilt poles, and, when drawn back, dis
close lace drop curtains that cost six
hundred dollars window. The por-
there's are of white silk plush, with dado
embroidery matching the curtains.
The furniture is treated with the same
material as the curtains, and what
little of the framework is seen is found
to be heavily gilded. Brooklyn Eagle.

Mr.. PULLMAN, who is the author
of a work called the Pullman Palace
Car, bound in black walnut, and rented
to the travelling public at 50 snore, is
worth ten million dollars. He has
built some little houses out at the
factory near Chicago, and now he is
going to compel his employees to live
there at high rent by cutting off their
car fare. Mr.. Pullman has good deal
of money, but we wouldn't trade places
with him. We would rather bring in
our own coal, and possess meal ticket
and few friends of whom we could
borrow quarter now and then, than
to be black-balled in perdition for can
ned meanness. We never met Mr..
Pullman, but some day we would like
to examine his soul under a powerful
microscope.-BM Nye.
