English Brutality in Egypt.

\ private iu the 10Th English Hussars,
who is writing series of letters in the
Nineteenth Century upon the late campaign
in upper Egypt, says that Gen. Earle was
killed after the enemy's position had been
taken, because he insisted, in spite Of warn
ings, on ''poking his head into mud hutn
in which some "rebels" were secreted. The
writer adds "1he man who shot him was
brought out of the house by Mai. Slade, aud
was instantly cut into n hundred pieces.
There was another house found, with
horse and camel, and inside Were twenty
six men and their store of ammunition, and
the whole lot were burnt alive in the house
and blown TO atoms by the continuous cX-
ploding Of ammunition the horse and
camel were also burned to cinder.n If
this is the kind of campaign that was
wagcd against the Arabs by the English

JUDGE BOND, in the circuit court at
Baltimore, yesterday rendered a decision
which is of much interest in this locality.
lie afllrms the finding Of the district
court awarding damages to a colored
woman to the extent of 800 for be-
ing excluded from tlrst-class sleeping ac-
commodations on the steamer Sue. This
will settle that question so far as relates to
travel on Chesapeake bay, unless an appeal
should be taken to the United States Su-
preme Court, which is not likely to hap
pen. The company was clearly in the
wrong, in that it took lirst-class fare and
refused to give frst-class accommodations
1t was violation of contract, and would
have been unlawful il the woman had been

There are hut few important events In the
affairs Of men brought about by their own
choice.
Although frequently urged by friends to
write my memoirs, | had determined never
TO do so. nor to write anything for publica-
tlon. AhthC age Of nearly 62 | received an
injury from a fall, which confined me closely
to the house, while 1t did not apparently af-
feet my general health. This made study n
pleasant pastimc. Shortly after, the rascal
ity of business partner developed itself by
the announcement OF failure. This was
followed soon after by universal depression
Of all securities, which seemed to threaten
the extiRtion Of good part of the income
still reGMned, and for which l am indebted
to the .ltiudly act Of friends. At this june
turc the editor Of the CcntiTy Ndgds zine
asked me to write few articles for him. l
consented for the money it gave me; for at
that moment / was living upon borrowed
money. The work found Congenial, and
/ determined to continue IT, The event is
an important one for me, for good or evil;
hope for the former.
In preparing these volumes for the pub
lie, i have entered upon the task with the
sincere desire to avoid doing injustice to
any one, whether on the national or con-
fcderate side, other than the unavoidable
injustice Of not making mention often
where special mention Is due. There must
be many errors of omission In this work,
because the subject is too large to be treated
of in two volumes in such way as to do
Justice TO all the officers and men engaged.
There were thousands Of instances during
the rebellion OF individual, company, regi-
mental, and brigade deeds of heroism which
deserve special mention, and are not here
alluded TO. The troops engaged In them
| will have to look to the detailed reports of
their individual commanders for the full
history Of those deeds.

The West Point Military Academy board of

IT is not for lack of kindly feeling to-
ward the United States, but from misun-
derstanding Of the question, that John
Bright desires this country to adopt free
trade. There is no parallel at all between
the corn laws against which Golden and
Bright waged their great battle and the
American protective system. If the vene-
rable Quaker statesman, than whom no
Englishman is dearer to the American heart,
were citizen Of this republic, he would be
a protectionist, and would have been made
such by the same causes that have made
him free trader in England.

II deciding that contractors, who by the
employment Of convict labor are enabled to
underbid competitors who employ honest
mechanics, must be awarded contracts on
public works, the administration has made
great mistake inpolicy, even though the
strict letter of the law may have been re-
spected. There is deep feeling on this
question, and this decision will be heard of
good many times before the end of 1888.
Honest labor demands protection alike
against convict labor north and defrauded
labor south.
