THE llrH DAY OF NOVEM MRER, 1882,
at : o'clock, p. M, the following described
real estate, viz:
, 1882-08-09

The general situation, from all the
best accounts, may be taken to be this
-Ad niral Seymour is in possession
of burning Alexandria and the Khe-
dive is nominally reigning, a most
important p1int. Arab Pasha, with
about 10000 soldiers as we should
judge-but the Khedive says only
4,000-;s posted about seventeen
miles out Of town, and talks of fight
ing a great battle. By Monday, at
latest, the Admiral will have the con-
troll of3,500 soldiers, whowill have ar
rived from Malta, with 81 General to
command them but the latter will
still have to await supplies and field
artillery, unless the Khedive's procla-
nation disbanding his army-expec-
ted to issue on Friday evening
should terminate resistance. At Con-
stantinople the Conference, though
approving the bombardment, awaits
tile decision of the Sultan on the
question whether he will land a
corps d'arm6e in Egypt. The sul-
tan hesitates, COnsults the Great

The evidence appears to be sati :
factory as to the scientific working of
the great scientific machines which
have been tried for the first time be-
fore Alexandria. The Inhexib!e'
AMI the 'TGm6rair9,' at least, have
been worked with as much skill and
exactitude as it they had been engines
of peace, instead of engines of war.
The Iuh5xible' carried 80-tons guns,
nearly twenty-seyen feet in length 40.
as long as a rather long room, and
weighing as much as a heavy railway
train. Her turrets are SO arranged
that the whole of her armament may
be fired either in the line Of the keel
or abeam as best suits the need.
Mr.. Rendel's hydraulic apparatus is
used both TO rotate her turrets and
to fire her guns, and this machinery
seems to have been used with the
most perfect accuracy. Apparently
il was only the Inaoxible' and the
'TGm6taIre' which were found up to
the work of destroying Fort Ada and
Fort Pharos, which the,less heavily ar
incurred ships had not succeeded in ST.
lencing. The 'Temeraire', though infe-
rior in force to the 'Inflexible,' was
equally we'll commanded and served;
ildee |, these two ships seem to have in
fl cted the most serious injury on the
forts against which they fred, with
out receiving any themselves. Science
of course, could have done little,
without pluck but pluck, in such a
case as this, could have done nothing
at all, without science.

Divan, and will probably refuse,
seeing no gain to himself in doing
England's work. The powers ex-
press as yet no sentiments officially,
but a deep jealousy OF Great Britain
begins to manifest itself in Paris and
Rome, and is opposed to the feeling
in Berlin and Vienna, where the
Courts express respect and surprise
at England's energy.

force for landing, placed 700 Ma
rincs round the Khedive in lis
palace, and by the latest telegram
was endeavouring, with parties of
sailors and Gatling guns, to clear the
city of plunderers. All respectable
inhabitants had quilted it, but the
destruction must have been APP
palling, and the loss Of properly
must have amounted to millions.
There can be no doubt hat The conha-
grafton was intended as an act of final
Vengeance, and to prevent Europeans
ever ~reigning in the city, which has
possibly persisted for ever. 1t was
already suffrring from the %competi-
ton Of Port Said, at the entrance to
the Canal, and it is thither that the
commercial business will he transfer
red. When Mehemet Ali began to
reign, Alexandria, once the Queen
City Of the Mediterranean, was only
a wretched village of 5000 people,
and its new prosperity arose from
his works and the European trade.
During the whole progress of the
bombardment, the greatest fear was
entertained for the safety of the
Khedive, whose death would have
created serious complications He
was safe, but the fears were justified.
1t appears from the report of the
Telegraph correspondent, who went
on shore at the hazard of his life and
questioned Martina Bey, the Khe-
dives Italian Secretary, that Tewfik
retired when the firing began 10 the
palace at Ramleh, four miles beyond
Alexandria, where he was threatened,
on Thursday, by some soldiers des-
patched by Arab Boy, with orders to
kill him. They, however, heard
just in time that the English were
landing, and refusing to kill the Kho-
dive, rushed away to secure their
own safety. The Khedive WIS then
escorted by his servants to the shore,
whence he went on board a British
steamer, and was finally reinstated
in the Ras el-Tin Palace, which is
only partially burnt, with a guard of
700 Marines. Tewhk appears through
out to have displayed admirable,
though passive, courage, and an UNI
ineligible want OF energy. 1t is
nearly inexpIicable that he should
have been so devoid offollowers in his
own country, andhave lost socompIete-
ly all hold upon the so'diery. 10
the last momen', Ragheb Pasha, the
Premier, though Arabi's tool, exer-
ted himself furiousIy to protect the
Khedive's life; and we suspect hat
at any moment after Tuesday even
ing, the Khedive could have reasser-
ted his authority.

The bombardment of Alexandria
is absolutely without a parallel, in
one respect. All Europe seemed to
hear the discharges from the Fleet.
The correspondent of the Standard
stationed in the 'InvincibIe,' 500
yards from shore, t~elegraphed inces-
sanity to his journal, and a record of
the actual firing was published and
read in London within three hours.
Each event, as it occurred, was mad
known in London and in Malta, a
thousand miles off, men actually
heard the firing of the cannon A
telephone had been fitted to tho.
cable, the other end of which was on
board the 'Chiltern' and though
words were inaudible, the roar of the
cannon could be distinctly heard.
1t is to be regretted that the STANDARD
did not keep a c1rrespon lent on
shore with the Khedive. We should
have known all that passed within the
city, even if he had not, by some in
genuity in signalling, warned the
Admiral of the catastrophe impending.
Jules Verne hardly exaggerates the
fl IeIity Of soM9 of these correspon-
dents in their work, which seems to
arouse in them a passionate sense Of
duty. Three, at least, took their
lives in their hands, and went on
shore to collect early "news."

All Thursday and Thursday night
the fires continued to rage and spread
until on Friday two miles of fire"
were visible, and it was known that
the whole European quarter and the
whole centre of the city, a city of
100000 souls, had persisted, while
the suburbs were still burning fierce
ly. Nothing effectual could be done
to extinguish the flames, for the
water supply had been cut off; hut

From the Spectator

Alexandria has ceased to exist.
The British Admiral, suspicious ofthe
official assurances, instituted inquiries
for himself, and became satisfied that
ornaments were still proceeding.
He accordingly, on Sunday, inti'nated
that the forts must be surrendered,
under penalty of a bombardment
on Tuesday morning. The terms
we've refused, and on Tuesday morn
ing, at six o'clock, English time, the
Fleet opened fire on all the forts at
once The Egyptians replied with
the greatest resolution ; but though
their guns were excellent, and one
penetrated the armour of the Superb,
their gunners rarely hit the vessels,
which with the exception Of the In
vincible, Steamed slowly up and down
while firing. Still, it was nearly
seven before the fort Marsa-el- Kanat
blew up, noon before the Pharos fort
was silenced, and night before Meks
fort was completely deserted. By
the morning of Wednesday, however
all firing had ceased, and, as is now
known, Arabi Pasha had resolved
upon retreat. No details can he
quite trusted till a landing has
been made but the evidence indi-
Gates hat the fire crushed the works
and destroyed many of the guns,
while upwards of 900 OF those who
worked them-one account says
2OOO-were killed on the spot.
Only six men had been killed in the
BSjtish Fleet, and no ship seriously
injured.
The Admiral, Of course, expected
that the enemy, with his forts des-
troyed, would offer terms /; and ac-
cordingly, seeing a flag of truce on
board the 'Mahroussa,' the Khediye's
yacht, sent an officer, to repeat that
if the forts were surrendered, the
firing should cease. The terms
were rejected, but another flag of
truce was displayed, on the Fort near
Ras-el-Tin Palace and as no shots
were fired, and the weather had also
become bad, Admiral Seymour await
ed communications from the shore.
They never came. The flags of truce
were intended only to gain time,
which Arab PaSha used to draw off
his army to a poirt on the railway
seventeen miles from Cairo, and to
release the ~cOnvicts, whom Lieutenant
Lambton saw moving away in
crowds. They were either ordered
or permitted to slaughter the Europe
ans, plumber and burn the town, and
carried out their Instructions to the
letter. All Wednesday night and
Thursday they attacked and murdered
Europeans and wealthy Arabs indis-
criminately, only one hundred of the
former cutting their way 10 the boats,
and fred every plundered building.
It is believed hat the massacre in.

THE BLACK LIST.

Twenty seven so called democrats voted
in favor of the tariff commission bill.
These men were none of them from Hi
nois, only one of them, Rice of Missouri,
from the west. They have no business
representing the democratic pyrty either in
Congress or county board of supervisors
Their proper place is at home. The demo
cratic party wants no such men in its
ranks, but it is glad to hail as member
and a representative a man like Hewett of
Pennsylvania, the largest iron manufacture
er IN this country, the man most largely
and directly benefited by protection. who
had the manliness the honesty, and the
craftsmanship to not only vote against but
protest against this bill. He was broad
enough and honest enough to placehis pri-
vate interests second to his duty to the
American people, and projected manufac-
turer as he is, and benefited personally by
protection, to protest in the most sweeping
terms agoinst protection because he deemed
it hostile to the interests of the mass of the
people. Of such men are statesmen made

House of years ago !. Il was in the fall of
the year, and navigation on the river was
about at close. Tow boats, for plotting
RATS down the river, were not insuse in
those days, sand the rough and uncouth RATS
man was the terror of all river towns be-
tween ST. Louis and the pineries. One
cold and wintry morning three strangers
called for breakfast, and after finishing the
morning meal, stepped up to the clerk ana
asked the privilege of using the office for
the purpose of paying off some men they
had in their employ, stating that it would
REQUIRE but few moments. The clerk
readily assented, and the men departed
saving they would return in g short time.
They did return, and Two of them as
sumed positions behind the counter, while
the third remained on the outside. The
leader of the party called the clerk, and
handed two revolvers to him, placing two
more in the hands of his companion, stat
ing that there might be use for them be-
fore they were through. The man on the
outside was equally well provided with
these implements of death. AT signal
from the leader, the outside guard admit
ted to the office, one by one, the toughest
looking set of men. rhe now thoroughly
scared CLERK, ever gazed upon, who march
ed up to the paymaster and received their
pay amidst grumblings and verbal objec-
lions, which were Immediately silenced at
a glimpse at the array of shooting irons.
About fifty men were disposed of in this
way, and when the job was concluded the
clerk asked for an explanation.
This was given and when it was tod the
affrighted clerk felt somewhat relieved that
the affair was at an end The three men
were engaged in the Injuries of floating
RATS down the river, and engaged crew
up in the pineries to help them manage
three or four large RATS to st. Louis. They
missed the weather somewhat, and when
they reached Davenport the floating ice
compelled them to seek a safe spot. and tie
their RATS up for the winter. The men
were engaged to go to st. Louis, and the
bosses refused to pay them for further than
Davenport. Anticipating trouble, they
provided themselves with revolvers, and
managed it so tina. no more than one OF
the men would be allowed to be present
and receive his pay at the same time, and
thus avoid trouble. The men had heard
of the resolution of their employers, and
vowed they would have pay for the full
trip or raise genuine raftsmens row.
Concluding his tale, the ex-hofel clerk
said, sfYou bet, I was happy when the
affair was over, for in those days raftsmen
were hard customers, and bad men to have
trouble with"

saif they may be, and fun of seldshness,
they art also stimulated hy the high spirit
of emulation which animates the town of
-sedalia In short, Moscow wants to be
the capital Of Russia. She held that proud
position long ago. but she labored under
the disadvantage of being an isolated inland
city, with broad expanse of Russian ter
ritory lying between her and the outer
world. 1t was very safe, retired loca-
ton, but dull place for royalty, and the
court following that was always eager for
the gossip of the world at large. so the
capital was removed to st. Petersburg,
which was more convenient to the mails
and had easier communication with foreign
lands. The age of railroads has made
changes in Russia just as it has elsewhere,
and the capital movers OF Moscow demand
o hearing. They point to the fact that the
ear was assassinated in st. Petersburg,
and use the circumstance to show their
rival up as disloyal city. They are lay
ing their plans to show that Moscow is the
temple of orthodoxy and the fortress
of autocracy" They are theoretically
striving to give the impression that no
matter how much conspiracy and treason
may assail the Gear in st. Petersburg, in
Moscow he is safe. Yet over all the black
dread of the Nihilist bomb casts gloom
which the gayety of the approaching fes
tivities cannot dispel.

MOSCOW.

As the coronation of the Russian czar
approaches, attention is naturally drawn TO
Moscow, where, notwithstanding all the
intrigues of the Nihilists, the most extern
sive preparations are in progress for the
event. All Russian coronations take place
at Moscow. The festivities last for a
month. and cost the government about
SIS. 600, 600. nearly all of which is expend-
ed among the tradesmen, caterers and ar
tificers of the city, hence il is but natural
from commercial point of view that the
Moscovites should greet the occasion with
JOY and general disposition 90 brush up
and decorate Indeed the good people of
that ancient city would probably be easily
consoled for frequent changes of dynasty,
each of which should bring them such q
windfall- But the Moscovites have another
and deeper motive for placing their city in
order, and making grand display. Sor-

A TAuNr.e

Somehow Rock Island failed to get an
for government building.
Perhaps it was because millions have been
and will hereafter be expended in improve
ments on the Island of Rock Island. Per
haps it was because her Congressman was
looking after his fences in the new appor-
tionment scheme, and failed to take the
tide at its flood a1es6urg Register.
Why viii you harrow up our feelings
in this base and cruel was, Register Of
course we did not get the building, and
hence o.r grief. We meant well; we
thought we saw in the erection of that
building, new era of prosperity for the
county land Rock Island. We saw
massive pillars and commanding towers
looking down into the rejecting waters of
the mighty and muddy Mississippi; and we
thought they would stand for ages as tes-
timonials of what grateful country would
do for a deserving city in the way of APP
preparations and lobby work. The build.
ing would have been our idol. and upon
its marble plated walls we would have
placed our hands and sworn undyingfealty
TO our government-an more apprppria
tions. We can see yet how our liberties
would have been more secure and some
of our citizens might have had more mon
ey in their pockets if only the blessed boon
had been granted; and our eager eyes have
been allowed to gaze supon the mass of
bricks''and mortar.
But somehow or other we forgot to GET
there. Our prospects looked bright, none
bri ghter. A ring was TO be formed fol
the purpose of voting money for like pur
poses in different cities, and we had every
confidence that our noble and capable con.
gresham would get inside of it: in order
to make things doubly sure, we sent two
public spirited and sinfluential. citizens te
see that he got there. Our plans seemed
secure, and there could be no doubt O.
the result; but the congressman forgot te
get inside of the ring, and Rock Island ha,
no public building. Is seems hard, i
seems cruel. but there Is little use of com
planning now, and we must be resigned tt
our fate. We have but one solace anl
that comes to us in form of bill
to make the bridge acros.
the river . toll bridge this much has beer
granted us, and although we should moi
look a gift horse in the mouth, yet we are
