A Plan to Demoralize inc Arabs.


 LONDON, Dec. 31.-Its representative has cabled tonight to the Boston Globe as fol lows:
 We are looking for news of another battle in Egypt, as General Stephenson has tele- graphed that he will push forward and attack the Arabs at whatever place they halt in their retreat from Atab. The victory won by General Stephenson near the latter town would have been decisive one as against any enemy except Arabs. Fighting them is apparently never-ending task. It is reported that the British government has taken measures to divide the allegiance of the tribes that make up the horde of inva- ders. Emissaries are said to be already working among the enemy's ranks with this object in view. It is the well known opin- ion of some of the best authorities on Egyp tian matters that the judicious use of money is the cheapest and most effective way of demoralizing Arab armies, and 1t is the current belief that the Conservative govern ment is trying the experiment. as an adjunct to the efforts of Gen. Supplements troops. The present effective force of the latter is stated at F, 500 men of all arms, but if necessary it can be increased to 30,000 men, and this will probably be done if it is finally determined to penetrate to any considerable distance in- ts the enemy's country. It is, however, hoped that a sufficient number of the tribes can be seduced by the means ab@e deseriE- ed to deprive the rebellion of it's present for mdable character and render such an ad- vance unnecessary.
 It may be remembered as amatter of inter est in connection with to-days news from Egypt that just year ago to-day the official plan of General Lord Wolseley's campaign in the Soudan was published. The present programme for fighting the Arabs is more modest, but is almost certain to be more fruitful in good results than the illconsider- ed plans of year ago.
 The Duty on Passengsrs' Baggage.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Secretary Manning has issued 8 circular letter to collectors of customs stating that under article 1, ,1S6 of the regulat lions of 1884 it is prescribed that collectors shall have discretionary power to remit the assessments of duty in cases where the dutiab1e value of an importation is less than one dollar in amount, and it is now represented that if such remission were ex- tended so as to cover articles contained in passengers baggage in all cases where the amount of duties does not exceed $2, it will result in the more prompt dispatch of the public business and in saving annoyance to passengers and others interested. In view of these representations and being of opinion that the expense incurred in collecting duties on articles of small value found in passen- gers baggage equals if it does not exceed the amount collected thereon, the department annuls the rule above mentioned and directs that articles found in passengers' baggage, when in the case of any one passenger the duties thereon would not exceed $2, may be passed without assessment of duty.

j. N. Curry has the brick on the ground
for the foundation of his new house on his
Dickinson street lot.
John II. Turner's new house on corner
of Main and Dickinson streets is enclosed
and will present a fine appearance when
finished.
A new dwelling has been commenced
on the lot adjoining the public school
grounds, recently purchased by Mrs. Mary
Austin, of John II. Turner.
L. G. Mount has commenced the inn
provements on his property which we
noted a week or two since, and when they
are finished will have much better facili-
ties for his business than formerly.
The foundation is nearly completed for a
new barn for l%iveryman FOX in place OF the
old one that fell down a few weeks ago.
The new structure will he 40 by 26 feet i'll
size, with 14-foot posts, and put mp in a
substantial manner. 1t will be finished
by Fair time.
Joseph G.. Stretch with his force of
workmcn has been for two weeks engaged
on the alterations in Humphreys store and
will take about two weeks longer to finish.
This work is far enough advanced To give
an idea of the appearance of the place
when finished, and it bids fair to be one Of
the finest stores in South Jersey. The
whole of the two old store apartments
will be thrown into one room 42X96 feet in
size. and the arrangement of counters and
slelvings will be entirely changed. The
walls and ceilings have been neatly
papered as far as the carpenters have fin
isup1.

a Jail bird at Large.

Shortly after seven o'clock Wednesday
morning, when the turnkey Of the Salem
Jail entered the lookup to feed the prison
ers, one of b number was missing. Up
on examination it was found that the miss
ing prisoner was VIM. Russell, alias J. Il.
Belden, of Nineland, who was arrested in
Philadelphia upon a requisition for the
theft of a horse of Isaac Newkirk, at Ell
mer, in July last. A dummy, stuffed with
religious papers which had been sent to
Russell by his wife, was found ia the bed
of the prisoner, which he had doubtless
placed there previous to the turkeys
making his last round for the night, when
the cells were all fastened. As there was
no evidence of the prisoner having broken
Jail, it is supposed that he was hiding be-
hind the cells when the turnkey made his
evening round and was released by a former
prisoner, who entered the building by a
cellar window, which was discovered to
have been broken open, and who, securing
the keys, which have always hung just out
side the door Of the lookup, unfastened the
door. Several parties were Immediately
started in pursuit, including Mayor John
w. Acton, County Clerk Coles and VIM.
Carney. but Up to this time the fugitive has
not been captured. Russell is a good look
ing fellow, about > feet . inches high,
weighs about 145 lbs, is about Al years old,
has on gold spectacles and wears heavy
dark mustache and goatee.

On the Way 10 Cresson.

A route, which is celebrated the world
over for the variety, extent, and beauty OF
its scenery, is that covered by the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad. 1t
traverses a territory between the East and
Pittsburg, in which almost every character
of topography is represented, and i'll which
every class of industry is followed. The
handsome suburban district lying beyond
Philadelphia gives place to the great agrI-
cultural region of Chester and Lancaster
counties-a land as famous for its natural
beauty as for the fertility of its soil. From
Harrisburg the line hugs the banks of the
picturesque Susquehanna for many miles,
until it reaches the placid waters for the
Blue Juniata, and follows through the
mountains the trail cut out by this pretty
stream. Some miles west of Ha rrisburg
the blue heights of Kittatinny Mountain
marks the entrance of the road into the
region of grand scenery. From this point
on to Cression the route presents a continu-
GUS panorama of the widest mountain
views in the Eastern States. Never for a
moment is there a lack of the most notable
scenery. Peak and gorge, torrent and
eddy, preeipice and plateau, forest and
boulder, all lend their aid in forming a
grand and vivid picture of untamcd
nature.
In the midst of such surroundings rests
Cresson. The place harmonizes well with
its magnificent environment. n great
hotel situate in the center of spacious
grounds, shaded by a forest of mountain
trees, offers the truest rest and the best
recreation to the work-worn and weary.
1t is a grand mountain resort, possessing
all the resources for the entertainment and
diversion Of the soiourner.
The first of the series of excursions to
this region was run by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company on Thursday, Septem-
Der ID, to be followed by others on the 9th
and 10Th. A special train will leave Broad
Street Station at 1890 a. NJ. Excursion
tickets, limited to $50 for each excursion,
good for ten days and including one days
board at the Mountain House, will he sold
from Philadelphia at So. o Those whd
desire to remain longer than the one day
will receive the benefit of a reduction il
the regular hotel rates.
