SUGAR ROLLING BEGUN.-Ihe grlHA-
ing season has opened and a number of
sugar-houses have commenced opera
tions. The first III this parish to get UNI
der way, we believe, WAS that of Messrs.
Mccall Bros, on their splendid Evan
Hall plantation, one Of the finest III the
State. Here steam was raised and the
manufacture of sugar begun on Monday.
Mr.. James Tellers mill was started the
same dag that of Mrs. NJ. Israel & Co.,
on their saulsburg place in St. James,
onTnes,lay; that of Mr.. Ben. Tureand on
Wednesday, and that of Mr.. Soaring Tay
lor's st. Emma place on Thursday. The
mills on Messrs Lemann g. Llmi's P,lo
Alto place and Mr.. Fl. S. Buckner's
Crescent place are also running, but we
have not learned what day they started.
On the Ascension, Clark, Conway and
Orange Grave places of Mr.. Oliver Bierne
commonly known as the Burnside
charlottesville sugar-hoHse will be
started next Tuesday, and on the Don
aldson place, belonging to the same gen
tleman, the work will begin week later.
No sugar will be made OH the Riverton
place this season, as the greater portion
OF the cane crop was destroyed by the
overflow and seed will have to be Dor
rowed from the other places Of the Burn
side group to finish out the planting for
next years crop.
The prospect for good sugar yield is
very encouraging. We shall be under
obligations to planters, Or any readers of

stlmulants for tho Sick.

It is q well-established principle that
all stimulants are debilitants in the end,
that they simply arouse the system to .
point of unnatural activity, which must
waste vital force, on the same principle
that undue haste in any labor produces
wasting fatigue and exhaustion. When
ever this abnormal action is secured by
alcoholic stimulants, the natural result
is diminished power to resist the en-
croachments of disease.
We have right to infer that the use
Of such stimulants is absurd even in
cases of sinking and debility. In the ex-
pertinent tried in the Bellevue Hospital

UMited i'm Death

The funeral of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln took
place at Springfield ILL.,, on the 18th INST. The
remains were placed in the vault of the Lincoln
monument, GIl which rest those of the martyred
president. The remains, incased IN plain
coffin, occupied place in the north double par
lors of the reSidenceeof N. W. Edwards, where
the marriage ceremony occurred forty years
ago next November. The sombre black of the
coffin was relieved by flowers. Around the
bier were gathered the old friends. In the room
beyond were Secretary Lincoln, Mr.. Edwards
family, and other relatives. Mrs. Lincoln lay
as if taking a peaceful sleep, and there was no
trace of the suffering the patient woman had
endured during the long years since the terrible
night in Washington. Upon the coffin was
plaaed plain white cross containing white
lily. touching effect was produced by the
design representing the "gates aiar." 1t was
composed of an arch supported by uprights
three feet in height, and beneath the arch were
two floral gates swinging ajar, and beyond a
bust of the martyred president was Just visible
among the flowers that surrounded it. An
open book beautifully formed of carnations,
with ''Mary Lincoln" in delicate fsrget-me-
nots upon the open pages and all immense pill
| low bearing the inscription "From the citizens
| of Springfeld,' which, with design already
mentioned, formed the principal decorations.
| There were beside innumerable tributes from
| personal friends. The services did not last
| longer than an hour. Beside the reading OF
| the Scriptures by Mr.. Post, the sermon by Rev
DR.. Reed and a closing prayer by Mr.. Parker
| the choir rendered some appropriate music, IN
Guiding the singing of NEARER My God tx
| Thee"

The Ras-eI-Tin Palace.

This palace, brought so prominent into
notice by the bombardment of Alexan-
dria, is situated upon the northern bend
of the western harbor and it's frontage
dips right down into the side. The
stories which have been told of the bow
string and mysterious caiques in the
homes of Turkish voluptuaries on the
Bosphorus are plentiful of this same pal
ace on the water in Alexandria. Ancient
residents looking across from the sandy
shores on the opposite side, have seen
yelled boats pushed off into the stream,
q heavy sack thrown overheard and the
slaves returning in their craft to the
white palace, leaving behind them, en-
veloped in the silent, rolling and mex
orable waters, some tale of stated
pasha's disgust or the miserable mortal
remains of a poor human amour. 1t is
built, or was, upon the southern shore
of the island of Pharos, and was sur
rounded by a series of forts, which were
supposed to render it impregnable to
attack from the mainland. Adjoining it
were gigantic stables filed with horses of
all breeds, from the docile and diminu-
tive Arab to the larger and less tractable
English charger. In the building itself
there were a series of magnificent rooms,
representative of the principal European
countries. furnishings of the Paris,
the Roman and the London rooms were
especially remarkable for costliness and
characteristic design

The Egyptian MIDDLE.

Arab Pasha still issues orders and makes ap-
pointments In the name Of the khedive. His
forces on the canal are estimated at 10000.
He prevents provisions from entering Alexan-
dria, ana threatens to cut off the winter sup
ply. Five hundred marines are divided be-
tween seven central points in the city. At
tempts have been made to fire Cairo, and it is
feared that the European quarter will be
burned by the people. Dervisch Pasha has
been summoned to Constantinople to give his
views of the situation. Arab Pasha is greatly
encouraged by British inaction, and talks of
recapturing Alexandra. Arab proposes to kill
all Turks IN Egypt. The consul who was killed
at Zogazig was the Italian consul. It is said
the line of retreat of the Egyptian troops is
covered with carriages and dead horses Be-
douins are reported to have harrassed the
soldiery and killed 200. The European resi-
dents of Cairo. with few exceptions, are desert
ing the city. England and France are sending
in precautionary measures for protecting the
SueZ canal.
Turkey in consideration of the Difference
shown by the powers to the sovereignty of the
sultan in Egypt, has consented to participate
in the international conference. France and
England have requested that some of the pow
ers be designated to protect the Suez canal.
De Lesseps informed Admiral Seymour that
the passage of men-of-war through the canal
would be breach of neutrality. Spain has
sent four iron-clads to Alexandria, and has
given notice that she will station three gun
boats at each end of the Suez canal to escort
