An Advance Oh Cairo Runhored.

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt, Aug. 22.-The oper-
atoms at Shaloof and its vicinity, Sunday
evening" are believed to point to a projected
advance upon Cairo by column moving
from Suez, in which movement the troops
now arriving from India would be employed.
The distance from Cairo to Sucz is but little
more than seventy miles, and is traversed by
an old caravan route and also by an abandon
cd railway grade, but the country Is wild,
mountainous and desert, entirely devoid of
water and easily defended by mounted
force. Natives report that Arab has provid-
ed for the contingency of II movement from
this direction by detaching u strong body of
Bedouins to patrol the country between Cairo
and Suez, and harass and delay any move
ment of the British in that quarter until he
can concentrate infantry and artillery at
some position, probably Bar-el-Geida, about
midway between those points, to resist the
British advance.

CINCINNATI, December 6.-Observers al

measurable disappointment because the
clouds obscure the sun and prevent any satis-
factory observation in the transit OF Venus
clear sky al midnight gave high hopes of
clear weather to-day, butthe sun rose partly
obscured and sooa became wholly Invisible.
Shortly Def re 10 O'Clock the clouds rev 30
thin that the SUI was distinctly visible. Pri-
vste observers, with ordinary field glasses
dimmed by smoked glass, were able 20 see
distinctly the planet on the lower portion OF
the sun. The utmost was done at The obser-
vatory at this time. but the result was far
from Satisfactory.
At the Cincinnati Observatory, Prof. Will
SOP, with four assistants, had prepared 10
make observation OF the time of contact. AT
the fret contact clouds hid the view, but
while the planet was part of the way on the
suns die they got fair view OF it. Unfor-
tunately, the clouds wholly obscured the
second contact. About l o'clock there was a
good opportunity for seeing Venus, but the
observations were of no particular value,
and when the planet passed off the sun,
clouds again wholly obscured the view.

in his charge to-the grand july, said the
newspapers were constantly containing libels
on public men and on private character
That was a species Of offense that created
more unhappins SIS and misery in society, and
did more injustice, than any other form OF
crime. He rather suspected that the writers
for periodicals had among them more than
the usual proportion Of liars. They were
paid for lying. The mere sensational the
lie waa, and the more calculated il was to
blast the peace of fsmili ?, and the spicier it
was, the more the piper would sell, and the
newspaper men would laugh in derision al
anybody who undertook TO talk to them Sc
riously about the III isIice OF thing Of that
kind. He knew thvie were men of integrity
and honesty connected with newsp .psrs who
entertained and cherished honorable and
Christian sentiments, and he thought, on the
whole, there was an Improvement going on
IN that respect. II the public would cease
TO patronize euch pipers as he alluded 10,

PORK PACKING.
A Large Decrease from Last Year The
Outlook.

CINCINNATI, December 6.-The Cincin-

ing will publish the returns from all
points which packed ninety-three per
cent. of last winters hog-packing, show
ing thst The aggregate of packing at all
points to date since November let is abont
100000 hogr, against 100000 at the same
date last year, showing 8 decrease Of twenty
four per cent. The reports regarding the
probable winter supply Of hogs for the Sc ason
to March 1st ere interpreted as indicating a
shortage not exceeding ten per cent, and prob
ably less than this, or in other words that the
winter packing will somewhat exceed
10000 hogs, against 5,747 900 last year
The Price Current expects the movement
for the next three months 10 fully equal the
corresponding time last year, and also that
the average weight of the winter packing
will fully equal or exceed lsst year. We
also expect considerable increase in the
spring and summer supply of hogs COM
pared with the past year.
