AS THE bid of the Newport's News
shipbuilding and dry dock company for
the construction of three naval gun
boats at a cost of not more than $780,
600 each, is the lowest, that company
will, it is supposed, be awarded the
contract. Should such be the case,
many of the Virginia mechanics now
seeking work can find it without going
out OF their own State.

THE RUSSIANS IN PARIs.-As stated
in The GAZETTE the Russian naval Off
GERS reached Paris yesterday and were
received with a burst of popular en-
thusiasm that has seldom been equaled
in the gay capital. The scene on the
streets last evening exceeded anything
that has occurred since the empire.
Before the guests had proceeded very
far on their drive their open carriages
were almost filled with the many bou-
quets that were thrown and handed to
them. A large squadron of cavalry ac-
companied the Russians.
A noteworthy feature ofthe reception
was the anxiety of the women to sub.
nit themselves to the embraces of the
Russians, who, it must be said, were
fully equal to the occasion. Handsome
girls and women would, by means
known only to themselves, get through
the lines of guards, and, with no fear of
the display that might be made, spring
upon the steps of the carriages, the
hubs of the wheels, or any other place
that would afford foothold, and hold
their faces up to be kissed. The visitors
were entertained at dinner by President
Carnot.

Some very interesting particulars
respecting the home Industries Of
Egypt are given in recent report
which the Austrian consul at Cairo
made to his government. says the
jewelers. Chronicle. The greater
part of the goods manufactured find
. sale principally among tourists and
foreigners . visiting the country.
Speaking generally, the Egyptian
industries Of to-day may be divided
into three groups: The minor or
"house" industry. agriculture. and
the factory industry. or the first
group. one of the oldest is the
ceramic industry, which is carried ON
in pottery works on the river sides in
Cairo. Alexandria and Rosetta. The
chief articles Of this class produced
are the porous bOttled-shaped vessels
and bullying refrigerators known by
the name of Alkaraza. Us well as
filters known as Sir. the latter chiefly
made at Keneh. The finer classes of
goods, such as ornamental vases.
lamp and ornamental articles
generally. come from Assiout and
Upper Egypt.
Cairo is the chief center of the
metal industry. Articles of gold and
silver are manufactured in small
quantities indeed and chiefly for the
peasant population and tourists. They
mostly consist OF massive silver rings
for decorating the arms and ankles.
twisted bands, chains and filigree
work of fine gold and silver. There
are several lapida.ies in Cairo and
Alexandria chiefly engaged in cutting
turguoises.
The wood industry. besides employ
ing large number of joiners engaged
in producing ordinary European fur
niture. includes also some establish
ments in Cairo and Alexandria. where
art furniture in the Arabian style is
turned out. This mainly consists in
wall screens. presses. chairs. fauteuils,
small tables. so-called Koran stands.
mirror and picture frames, pier tables.
etc. generally iniaid with mcther-of
pearl, bone or metal. The principal
purchasers OF these articles, too. are
foreigners, either settled in or jour
neying through the country. Assiout

Has the Earth . conet.ry rails

1t is well known that the tails Of
comets stream away from the sun
and are of very low density. Various
hypothesis have been propounded to
explain their movement away from
the sun, but the most promising is
that of Russian physicist, who as
cribes it to the repulsion of the solar
radiation acting on q mass of extreme
tenuity. while, on the other hand, the
attraction of gravitation operates be-
tween. the solar mass and the solid
nucleus of the comet. The same
physicist accounts for the mysterious
terrestrial phenomenon of the 20
diacal light in the same way. He
believes that the earth has also q
tail of cosmic dust, not luminous of
itself, but by rejecting the sunlight.

INDIANS oUrWITTED.

strategy.

strategy.
In the early part OF the revolution
airy war a sergeant and twelve armed
men were crossing New Hampshire
through the wilderness. Their route
led them away from any settlement.
and they camped at night in the
woods. On the second afternoon of
their journey they were met by q
party of Indians, who made friendly
overtures. and feigned to be much
pleased at meeting the sergeant and
his men. whom they obsequiously
declared to be their protectors. But,
as often happens when persons are
practicing deception, the Indians
. overdid the matter, and suspicious of
their sincerity were aroused in the
sergeant's mind.
After leaving the Indians and pro-
ceeding a mile or more the sergeant
stopped his comrades and said:
Those redskins mean mischief.
haven't lived among Indians twenty
years for nothing. know them and
their fiendish tricks. And unless we
are prepared for them tonight there
wont be man Of us alive to tell the
story when morning comes"
The soldiers were surprised. Not
one of them had distrusted the In
dians. Feeling confidence in the SER
geant. however. they agreed to follow
instructions. and the following plan
was adopted and executed:
The spot chosen for the nights en-
campment was near a stream of water
which served as a protection in the
rear. A large oak tree was felled,
and each man cut a log from this
about the size of himself. The logs
of wood were wrapped in blankets.
mems hats were put on the extremi-
ties and they were laid before the
campfire so artfully arranged that
anyone would have taken them for
outstretched sleeping soldiers.
The sergeant and his men concealed
themselves behind pile of brush to
await any movement on the part of
their enemies. The fire, which had
been kept bright during the evening,
was suffered to die down. and an air
of quietness reigned about the camp.
Two hours passed and the men be-
gan to grow impatient, and hints
were thrown out that the sergeant
had been more scared than hurt.
At length tall Indian was discov-
cred. by the glimmer of the freight,
cautiously moving toward them. Very
stealthily he drew near enough to see
the figures Of the supposed men.
Then he withdrew and another Indian
appeared, who seemed carefully to
count the sleeping figures.
Soon the whole party of redskins.
sixteen in number, was discovered
cautiously advancing. The witnesses
of the preparation for a massacre
were now SO excited that they could
hardly be restrained. The sergeant's
plan was for his men to remain quiet
until the muskets of the ssvages were
discharged.
They had not long to wait. The
Indians advanced within Z few feet,
then took aim, dischac ged their
pieces, gave their characteristic war
whOop and rushed forward to COM
plete their dastardly work by scalp
ing their helpless victims.
Now was the sergeant's time, and
at given signal a deadly fire was
poured upon the treacherous savsges.
Not one of them escaped.
