THE WAR IN EGYPT.
Hostilities Begun.

BoF} LONDON, July 11-9 q. m.
Admiral Seymour .telegraphs as follows:
"Ihe ships opened fire at seven O'clock this
morning. The return fire from the forts was
weak. and ineffective. An explosion in Fort
Marsa-el-Kan had occurred by eight clock.
The ships engaged are the Infiexible, Teme-
raire, Penelope, Superb, Sultan, Invincible,
Alexandria and Monarch."E g

The attack ON the forts has now been kept
up two hours. Smoke hangs over the. town
along the line of the shore batteries and
among the ships, and it is difficult to see what
damage has been done. 1t is certain, however,
that the enemy has suffered very heavily.
Fort Marsa-el-Kanat has been blown up
by fire from ether batteries The forts
are slackenng their fire. The top of the
tower of Fort Pharos has been carried
away and many guns have been dismounted
on that and other forts. The flag of the Gene
vared cross is flying over the hospital in the
city. Dutch and Greek flags are hoisted over
their respective consulates. At the begin

Unpleasant Exneriences.


The two hundred Young Cinnamon
lately called home peremptorily from
American schools and colleges have
hadlan unpleasant experience since ar
irving in their own country. They have
been put into positions not at all in keep
ing with their requirements, and are
strongly advised to forget all they have
learned. The Rev. Arthur H. Smith, a
missionary in Tientsin, writes to the
Independent: sMany of them have
been absent from China for ten years
at the most impressible time of life.
They are filed with Western literature,
Western civilization, and the nine
teenth century. Some of the students
are reported to have learned to kiss in
America; but they have returned to a
country where kissing is unknown
laid down in. the Book of Rites 'Iwas
afraid to meet my MOTHER said one of
them. i did not know what to do. ;
Having lived for decade in an atmos-
phere of ozone, these lads are suddenly
plunged into dilute carbonic acid. Is it
to be wondered at that the result ap-
pears in ill-concealed expressions Of
contempt for China and everything
ChineseT' The young men, however.
at last accounts, had received permits
sion to return to the United States and
complete their studies. IN. 7. San.

M0nstrous Fungi.

Visitors to ancient wine-yaults or
damp coal-pits are sometimes aston.
ished by the curious fungi which drape
the walls with gruesome tapestry; but
every instance of this kind is thrown
into the shade by the extraordinary
growths which have recently been dis
covered in some of the deserted Next
can silver mines of Nevada. The dank,
warm timber galleries and drifts of
these old workings abandoned to them
selves for years, have silently given
birth to monstrous brood of morbid
vegetation, which, apparently, has no
parallel in the regions of the sunlight
and the upper air. In general they are
all of q snowy wilderness, and some OF
the hooded masses rise up several feet
from the ground like sheeted ghosts.
Others, in the distance, take the form
of bearded goats or sleeping owls. Here
great punches of long, white hair hang
down from the roof; and their huge,
pulpy masses cucumber the floor like
brainstone coral The latter appear to
have sprung miraculously from some
thing spilled upon the rocks in past
days, while the former seem to have
crystanized like hoar-frost from the at
mosphere itself. Some of the rounded
masses have actually lifted up from the
floor blocks of stone weighing ten, fifty,
and even 100 pounds to a height of
three feet. In the higher levels of the
mines, where the air is drier. the fungi
are far less bulky than below, and
much firmer in texture. The shapes
here are, however, more elaborate and
beautiful. One kind grows in twisted
spiral ike rams horn, to length of
five feet, and hangs from the rafters
like a trophy of the chase, or rather,
like a serpent suspended by the tail.
Another sort sends out stem the thick
ness of pencil to height of one or
two feet, where it blossoms into bul-
bous knob something like flower
Nothing like the toadstool or the COM
mon mushroom is to be found, and the
wondrous growths have all the aspect
of being called into special being by
the pecliliarities of their environment.

The Egyptian Army.

s.E,.4- ,r~E ALEXANDRIA, July III.
The Egyptian army, as at present organized,
consists of nine regiments of infantry, two
regiments of artillery, three regiments of
coastguard, three regiments OF cavalry, and
four regiments of gendarmerie. Every
Egyptian between the ages Of nineteen and
forty, and regardless Of religion or race, is
liable to military service. The term Of service
in the active army is three years for the in
fantry and four years for the cavalry and ar
tillery. After leaving the active army the
soldiers retire TO their villages, and for
period of six years are inscribed in the first re-
serve: after the expiration of the six years
they are inscribed in the second reserve, which
Can only be called out in case of invasion.
This organization WAS introduced in 1872. 80
that the troops of the second reserve are just
beginning to be Inscribed
The infantry regiments are composed of
three battahons of eight companies each. In
time of peace only two and sometimes four of
these eight companies are present with the
colors. The cavalry regiments have six
sGuadrons each. The artillery regiments are
each composed of six batteries of four guns
each in time of peace and eight guns in time
of war. Two of the six batteries are mount
ed and four are foot batteries. The infantry
are armed with Remington rifles, of which
there are about 10000 in Egypt The cavalry
are armed with sabers, reyolvers and Reming-
ton carbines The field artillery are supplied
with rited breech-loading Krupp guns, of
which there are about 100 in the magazines
The garrison and sea-coast artillery are pro-
Vided with heavy Krupp and with Wahren-
drotf guns of eight-inch and ten-inch caliber
The powder-mills and cartridge factory at
Tourah, near Cairo, render Egypt practically
independent of a foreign supply Of ammuni-
ton The Quarternasters Department and
Commissariat are in sad state of chaos, and
are the weak points in the organization. A
frman of the Sultan limits the number of
troops to 1900. At the present moment there
are, perhaps l2,000 or 1900 men with the COL
ors, but the regimental cadres of commits
stoned and non-commissoned officers are SO
r2Girtairied that IN five weeks the effective
strength OF the army could be increased to
5000 men by calling in the first reserve. In
case of invasion the Bedaween contineents,
who furnish their own arms and horses, and
the second reserve would enable Egypt to
place in the field 10000 fighting men. .

A Washington Story.

From what you have heard of our
esthetic society know you will be will
ing to believe almost anything of it. Yet
an incident OF the week is so extraordi-
nary that it is doubtful whether the out
side, and OF course vulgar world can
comprehend or appreciate. One of our
society women lost q member of her
family by death, the other day, pug
toa. An extensive preparation lOr d
funeral occurred, and the obsequies fol-
lowed in due course after the fashion
laid down by custom for civilized hui
mainly. | do not know whether the
services Of preacher were called into
requlsition or not, but as all the other
funeral conditions were fulfilled it is
very probable. The coffin in which the
remains of Mr.. or Miss las the case
may beg Pug were exposed for the last
gaze of the grief-stricken members of
the family was Of the regulation pat
tern with silver handles. The hearse
was white, emblematic of the purity
of character of the deceased,
and was managed by first-class under
taker. who wore he proper emblems of
respect usually considered necessary in
ceremonies of this kind. There was
respectable train of carriages to make
up the funeral cortege, which proceed
ed to the cemetery in solemn order. and
there the body Of Mr.. or Miss Gas the
case may bej Pug was inferred in the
family lot with appropriate ceremonies.
Thus far everything went smoothly
enough, and had not some sensitive
people who had relatives and friends
buried in this cemetery raised row
about it, the outside and vulgar world
would have been none the wiser As it
was, the sexton was called to swift ac-
count for having granted burial cer-
titicate. - Washington Cor. philadelphia

A British naval officer has furnished me with

Fort Pharos and the lighthouse batteries,
which are at the entrance to the new
port and we're intended to dominate the
approach to the new harbor. The Tag

Temeraire, attacked with destructive effect

lighthouse and shore batteries. The Infexi-
