CASTING A BRIDE IN THE NILE

Usually Egypt makes regular
Fourth OF July of the ceremony known
as the Cutting Of the Khalig-the
canal that Is to Cairo what the Nile Is
to Egypt or the Gran Barranca to
Funchal, which, indeed, II strikingly
resembles in that portion which runs
beneath medieval gables and quaint
old bridges, on its setting out for what
was once Heliopolis When the Milo
meter justihes the heirs OF all the ages
in believing that the Nile will bear
bleeding the dam Ia cut, and the SYM
bolical bride (made of mu y thrown In.
She used TO be real flesh and blood till
the followers OF the prophet took over
the country, hut they ere said to have
stopped the custom as being a willfui
waste OF scarce women. This year
Cairo Is tn be robbed OF its bank holt
day. Time was when the caliph him
self got up early to see 1t, and
spent a matter OF 10000 or f5o,000
ON the festivities, while the Nile blnzed
with light like the Crystal Palace.
Twelve hundred years ago the Copts
told Amru, the first Moslem ruler,
that, on the 18th day Of their month
Baouneh they were accustomed TO
search for a young and handsome maid
en-, tear her from her home by force,
and, dressing her rs o bride, throw
her into the Nile at Rhoda. Amru
ordered q rudo statue to be substi-
tuted, and even Napoleon kept up the
practiced. But because OF the cholera
the wedding won't come of this time
with any splendor. The feet Of lantern
lit boats, and the music parties, and oil
that, will be arrested IL they try 1t in
defiance of the sanitary autocrnts
The khedive will just send deputy
assistant help to wave his hand to the
man who cuts the dam and that is all.
The stern-wheelcrs are passing up In
penn'orths to the end OF tho lower
Egypt line, aud will be put together
BY Arab artihcers, who only get quad
ripple pay for doing 1t.
The middle OF the month, probably,
will witness the formal Inauguration
OF the electric trimways-hideous as

New YORK, Sept 2S.--Thc democratic

aud heated meeting Mt the Hoffman
house last night. A sensation was Gre
ated BY the appearance Of Senator Hill,
who arrived from Albany late, bearing
q proxy. In the preliminary work
contested cases were heard and the
Hill men were seated on n vote OF Is
to 10. 1t was very nearly IL o'clock
when the fight over John boyd
Thacher, the nominee for governor.
was precipitated by the reading OF his
letter, addressed to Chairman DAN
forth, and defining his position. John
d. Sheehan, OF Tammany, introduced
q resolution calling upon Mr.. Thatcher
to resign his nomination. In an in
slant there was tumult. He declared
that Mr.. Thatcher should have given
his views upon the financial question
before the convention, hal he intended
to be honest. Senator Hill then took
the floor, attacking the Chicago
platform. "a man must not
lie condemned for disagree 'ng
with the national PLATFORM" said
he. st has things in 1t that
are in direct opposition to all the dem
ocratic tenets / have no objection to
saying that there are things in the
platform that no democrat can support.
To say that you can support the ticket
Is enough. There Is altogether too
much populism in the platform. Every
leader and every man with common
sense in the party knows this. Do you
want to whip them out in the manner
you would whip Thacher out? 1t Is
political cowardice. Don't do it II
we 60 down, let us go down with our
colors flying and our Old leaders at our
