An Egyptian Experience.

Just now, shall give you an account of part of
my experience in the Soudan. think an ac-
count of my day at Dongola win be of some in
terest to your many readers.
Tarrived there early IN the riorning of the
18th of March, should say about 8 O'Clock.
We had camped the night before about 10 miles
above and the breeze that brought us down in
two hsurs was fresh and invigorating. Gradu-
ally it grew warmer and by 10 o'clock one would
think the south wind was drought from some
m6nstrous furnace.
The hot south wind is accompanied by fine
sand and very minute black flies. One is soon
in perspiration and the sand and flies filling
ones eyes, ears and nose, and adhering to every
uncovered spot on face. neck and hands, almost
dive a man distracted. was pretty familiar
with such weather, however, so instead Of hunt
ing up some shady and sheltered spot, Iwalked
uptown in company Of several Of my comrades.
Up town, did sayf Into barn-yard, rather.
In DongoIa none but the aristocraoy live alone
in their hovels- The middle and lower classes
share their dwellings, with camels, donkeys,
COWS, pigs, goats and fowls. never thought
such squasid wretchedness existed anywhere on
earth. Men, women and children, .oamels, goats
and pigs, geese, hens and pigeons all huddled up
together in huts sometimes not more than 70
feet square. The houses are one story mud af.
fairs, without doors OF windows, and roofs made
OF sugar cane. There is no attempt at cleanli
ness, no furniture whatever One ron Of bed
ding unrolisd at night and copsisting Of dried
dhonra stalks serve the whole family, animals
and AL. The people wear no clothes, with the
exception of a light piece Of cotton hung around
the loins and hanging to the knees. The women
re very tasty about their hair. They braid i

eral Grant threw away his cigar, lifted
his hat to them and passed indoors.
The poor captain of the guard, when he

rage and chagrin, He went so far as
to punish one of the sentries, and for
this was reprlmanded in general orders.

french Eels.

The eels of the ponds in the woods
of Vineennes, France, leave them every
spring in large numbers, making their
way to the Seine OF the Marne. several
kilometers distant. They take adyan-
tage OF rainy weather, when the herb
age is vet and their instinct guides
them directly to their destination.
New species have been repeatedly in
troduced into the lakes, but in vain; all
seem to have this disposition to leave.
Some have thought that the water of
these ponds, having been collected by
hydaulic engines, have under gone some
change which drives the eels away.
But the phenomenon of such mgrations
by eels and some other fishes is not
uncommon. THUS in the marshes Of
Pieardy eels are often found on the
grass, going from one pond to an
