undoubtedly conveyed weighty and con-

old fort which the COnfederates had
built, and garrisoned in go or 81. 1t
was surrounded by deep ditch. 1t is
all overgrown with tangled weeds and
creepers, in dense masses, among which
there lay two huge siege guns of i'm

broken off, the vents spiked, and the
threats filled with mud and sand. One
had been dragged to the outside of the
escarpment as if in an attempt to be
carried away, but was hastily left when

very few would want the stencil of sui

they could make, TO come between the

still. Some four or five miles below
Beaufort, ON the west shore of Beaufort
river, are the remains Of two or three
very ancient forts. They are all gone
to ruin, and have been eaten up by
time, and the waves of the sea, till but
a few vestiges of them remain. There
is a curious and mysterious history, or

tionary celebrity. Farther on in the
same street stands fine monument to
one of South Cardinals great celebri-
ties-a great civil engineer-the name
forget. Then still farther on is the
beautiful monument to the celebrated
Polish noble, C0ant Pulaski, who fell,
mortaIly wounded, at the battle of Sa-
vannah, Dec. 20, 177S. A full length
figure, life size, adorns the monument
on one side, representing the hero on
his horse as he received the fatal bull
let in his breast, while leading on the
charge, his bare head dropped one side
on his breast, and his paralyzed arm and
hand clutching his now useless sword,
falling by his side; underneath which
is the inscription. 1t is a noble work,
and one of which the city is justly
proud.
At the termination of this beautiful
street is one of the loveliest parks in

laid out in the most admirable manner.
Everything the South has of magnifi

shadowing deeply the lovely walks;
flowers that charm the senses with fra

that shoot up beautiful jets of cooling
waters, adorned also with nymphs and
tritons, marble statues of tabled deities

afternoons, thousands resort to enjoy
the scene and the passing hours. Far
ther on still is the new addition, in
which stands out naked in the sun a
huge monument to the Confederate
dead, of which l can give no other de-
scription than to say it was intended to
be great work of art, to commemorate
those who fell in the Rebellion.
But am putting too much in this
letter, and so must stop, so good-by for
the present.

The mother of ex-Khediye Ismaii
Pasha, who died within the last month at
Cairo, was one of the most wicked old
women imaginable. She was noted for
her depravity, and the men who once
entered her palace at the Abbassieh, just
outside Cairo, never emerged therefrom
again. On several occasions her carriage
was pelted with stones and she herself
mobbed by crowds of women, some of
whom demanded their sons, others their
husbands and brothers. Latterly she
had become exceedingly devout.

-Boulanger, the French Minister of
War, is forty-eight years old. He has had
a most brilliant military career and has
been wounded repeatedly. He was the
chief OF the French military commission
which came to the United States for the
celebration of the Yorktown centennial
anniversary. As relative and intimate
friend of Clemenceau, the Radical leader,
he receives the sympathetic support of
the politicians under that leader, and is
at the same time, as we have seen, strong
with the head of the Cabinet and the
President.
