The Land of the Nile. The Cities and Population of Egypt Its People, Its Progress, Its Religion and Its Prospects. “ Egypt as it is. ” As long as the snn shines in the heavens by day and the moon and the stars by night, Egypt with all the grandeur of its antiquity, with tra ditions and legends, and history even, and monuments hoary with age, thousands of years before the birth of Pythagonas or Confucius, with all the mysticism of its by-gone learning and strange, weird religions, must teem with interest to all who have heart and brain enough to feel due veneration and regard for that land which had a great civilization of its own when all Europe, even Greece and Borne themselves, were shrouded in the gloom of barbarism. And recent events have made the Egypt of to-day, from many but far different points of view, as interesting as th6 Egypt of the Sphinx and the Pyramids. The growth and development of its resources since the days of Mehemet Ali, and particularly during the Viceroyalty of his grand son, El Ismael, the ruling Khedive, the con struction of the railway system, the efforts to abolish slavery, the extension of its frontiers towards the equator by expeditions under Sir Samuel Baker and Gordon Pasha, the construc tion of the Suez Canal, and the rapid improve ment in the education of its people, present features far more instructive and almost as fas cinating as the romantic tales of its life under the Califlfs, and this interest has been heighten ed by the war in the East of Europe, which must most materially affect the destinies of Egypt, and probably result, according to our author, in snapping asunder the frail tie which now keeps the ruler of the Land of the Nile in feu dal subjection to the Sultan at Constantinople. It is this Egypt of to-day—‘As It Is’—which Mr. McCoan describes in a large and handsome vol ume, in which nearly every detail is almost ab solutely exhausted. The work is accompanied by an excellent map, and forms a worthy com panion to the recent works by Wallace on Rus sia, and James Baker on Turkey. Owing to the recent conquests to which we have alluded, the limits of the territory now Bubject to the Khedive can not be stated with accuracy, but Egypt proper is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean from Cape Hazaif to El Arish on the frontier of Palestine, west ward by the Libyan Desert, east by a line from El Arish to Akabar, and thence inclosing the Peninsula of Sinai, down the western shore of the Bed Sea to Cape Benas; and on the south by the First Cataract, between Assouan and Philse. A glance at the map will enable the reader to localize these metes and boundaries, and to the land lying within them, to its cities and people, its government and public works, its commerce, agriculture and industries, its religion, its schools, its domestic slavery, its mighty river, and a hundred other details per tinent to the subject, the attention of the reader iB almost entirely confined, after the first chap ter, in which the geography of Egypt is elabo rately discussed. The climate of this long stretch of land in THE VALLEY OF THE NILE, which, under a system of thoroughly good gov ernment, might be so rich and prosperous, is hot and dry; but its salubrity, especially in pul monary, rheumatic, renal and brain disorders, is recognized by every physician of note in Eu rope, and as many invalids now seek for health at Ramleh, or the beautiful suburbs of Cairo and Alexandria, as once flocked to Madeira or to Nice; and, for some cause or other, ophthal mia which is the scourge of the native popula tion, rarely, if ever, attacks a European. In Alexandria and Cairo visitors sometimes light a fire in December and January, but properly speaking there is no winter at all, and spring, summer and autumn are the only seasons known in the whole land of Egypt. The spring and autumn are very pleasant, but scarcely has the hot breath of the Khamsin— called more familiar ly by its Arab name, the simoon—begun to sweep northward toward Constantinople than the heat in Upper Egypt becomes very trying, even to the natives. At Cairo the mean sum mer temperature is about 92 degrees Fahren heit, sometimes ranging 10 degrees or even 12 degrees higher. The summer lasts till the end of September, and the long five months of gen ial autumn, including the period of our winter, begins. This is the period of gavety and social enjoyment in the cafes, upon and under the bal conies and verandas of the hotels, and in the Opera House, where the Khedive at his own risk frequently assembles the best artists in Europe. The people who live in this country and are subject to the laws of such a climate, are composed of almost every nationality upon the earth. Among the five million and a half of the population there are Arabs, Copts, Turks, Nubians, Jews, Armenians, Negroes from Dar- four, Gallas, a mixed hybrid of Negro and Abyssinian parentage, pure Abyssinians, beau tiful Circassian slaves, wives and concubines, Levantines of almost every shade of mixed Eu ropean and Eastern blood, a sprinkling of Mai- ; tese at the sea ports, and pure Europeans num- ! bering about 90,000 in all, among whom are 40, 000 Greeks 16,000 Italians, 15,000 French, 7, 000 British, an equal number of Austro-Hun garians, 1,500 Germans, and 4,000 or more of various other nationalities. Of the native races the settled Arabs form nearly four-fifths of the whole, and, although to aljman Moslem, are very diverse in race. About two-thirds are descen dants of the cod quest in 640. The actual army of Amrou was small, but of the purest Arab blood from the neighborhood of Medina, but but were afterwards joined by other Arabs from the Hedjazand Mauretania, who assimilated the ex-Coptic race and now form the GBEAT LABOEING CLASS. of the fellaheen, about whom so many contra dictory reports have been written. According to Mr. McCoan: ‘These fellaheen are a fine, muscular race, the average height of the men being from five feet eight inches to five feet nine inches, and the women in propotion. Under nine or ten years, most of the children have very spare limbs and distended abdomens, but as they grow up^their forms rapidly improve, and in full age, the majority, as a rule, become remark ably well propotioned, with fine, oval faces, bright, deep-set black eyes, straight, thick nos es, large but well formed mouths, full lips, beautiful teeth, broad shoulders and well-shap ed limbs. From twelve, the usual age of mar riage, to eighteen or nineteen, nearly all the women are splendidly formed and many of real beauty; but once past their teens they rap idly wither, and as a rule, are little better than wrinkled hags before thirty. In Cairo their complexion is a clear olive, and their skin very delicate; in the less sheltered villages it dark ens towards the frontier to the tint of a Barba- dienne bronze.’ Every thing almost in Egypt is painted cou- leur de rose, and the scant clothing, the thin single garment, through which the forms of the Fellaheen women are only too plainly visible, their insufficient food and primitive mud huts, oannot induce the author to express any doubts 'of the happy condition of these peasantry, de scribed in tones so mournful by most travelers. Optimism, however, is a far better trait in the mind of a traveler than pessimism, and the se peasantry are, by general consent, said to b6 more light-hearted than most hard-working til lers of the soil. It is, however, probable that the influence of the climate, rather than that of the government of the Khedive, that makes them so, but unfortunately this very influence has no effect when the tax-gatherer comes round with the stick, which is an important assist ance in collecting the dues of the government. The unfortunate debtor to Ismael Pasha would rather bear half a dozen blows than pay a pias tre which he can avoid, and if he yields after a dozen, when enduring fifty would have per suaded the collector, he is looked upon as a poltroon by his wife, and despised even after unless by greater courage he redeems his rep utation the next year. The Bedoween or No mad Arabs, the Turkish colonies and free Nu bians are the chief remaining Mahommedan races of Egypt, and then come the Christian Copts, numbering in all about 500,000, and not only the most ancient, but, strictly speak ing, the only native Egyptian race. They are descendants of the Egyptians of the days of the Pharaohs, with their blood intermixed with the Persians left by Cambyses and the Greeks who followed Alexander. Though thus crossed, they still preserve the characteristics of the Old World race that built Thebes and worshipped Amoun-za, and closely resemble the sculptur ed presentments that abound everywhere in tomb and temple from Beni-Hassan to Philaa. They are also generally undersized, like the Egyptian mummies in the British Museum, in religion they reject alike the Latin, the Greek and the Protestant churches, and are monoph- ysites of the Jacobite sects. Their clergy, who are terribly ignorant, consist of a patriarch, twelve bishops, an indefinite number of arch bishops, priests, deacons and monks. The pa triarch appoints the aboona of Abyssinia, whose Christianity is also Coptic. The patri arch and the twelve bishops are not allowed to marry, but for the priests and deacons mar riage is, as in the Russian church, a condition of ordination. They assert that St. Mark IS THE PATRON OF THEIR CHURCH, although one of its rites is circumscision prac ticed upon both sexes alike, and they are polyg amous. Auricular confessions, frequent and rigid, fasts, and a few other outward observ ances are the only connecting links with the Eastern and Western churches. They sup port themselves chie fly by retail trade and skil led labor, and in Upper Egypt cultivate their farms and the date trees, like the Arab Fella heen. Many of their coreligionist, the Abys sinians, who have migrated or been brought into Egypt, have at once adopted the faith of El Islam, and very many of them belong to the class of the higher domestic slaves, and are eunuchs. The Greeks, the Armenians and the Jews preserve most of the characteristics which distinguish them out of Egypt, and our author admits that, out of 20,000 Israelites in Egypt, very many of them are poor and in want, there is scarcely one without an education. This could not be said of any other race in Asia or in Af rica. Of the Europeans, except a few thousand of the better class, and those chiefly English, employed upon the public works, or otherwise in government pay, the less said perhaps the better. The foreign Levantines are among the worst of their class, and that is simply to say that they are among the most detestible of mor tals. The majority of the native races live, of course, in the country, but there are no less than eight towns officially classed as cities, the principal of which (as everybody is aware) are Alexandria and Cairo. Alexandria is too well known to need any description here, but it is wonderful to read in the pages ot our author of the marvel ous progress which has be,en made in the city during the last twenty years. New and spacious docks have been built. Nearly two-thirds of the town has been rebuilt with broad streets and spacious squares. There are schools and colleges and hotels, and churches of half a doz en denominations, from the grand Greek or Latin buildings to the humbler Presbyterian chapel. Although far from possessing the splendor of the architecture, the palaces and the temples, tne baths the museums, the thea tres, libraries and obelisks of the wild days of Cleopatra, its best quarters have ali the lively surroundings of a handsome Italian or French town, with something Oriental everywhere to charm the unaccustomed traveler. In siz6 and commercial activity it is the sec ond port on the Mediterranean, and although the Suez Canal has diverted so much of its old transit trade with India, it is still rapidly grow ing, its harbor furnishing tbe only safe anchor age for 5C0 leagues of coast, from Tunis to Alex andria. From Alexandria, a run of 131 miles by railway in four hours and a half, brings the traveler to Cairo, and here he catches his first glimpse of pure Orientalism. Even here, however, the im provements are astonishing. If Rip Van Winkle went to sleep not very long ago on the old Es- bekieh, with its huge Sycamores, its stagnant canal and its fringe of tumble-down native houses, he would wake up now and see a new Esbekieh (or modern quarter), so transformed that he would see files of stately stone buildings, broad macadamized streets, and, in fact, a new Esbekieh. The old city, however, remains near ly what it was when Noureddin, Abou Shamma, Bedreddin Hassan, Ali Cogia and the other he roes of the Thousand and One Nights were the dramatis personae of those wondrous tales. Mr. McCoan says that Warburton’s description in ‘The Crescent and the Cross’ is still true of this district, and it is so graphic that we will quote it here: ‘Ladies wrapped closely in white veils, wo men of the lower classes carrying water on their heads, and covered only with a long blue gar ment that reveals too plainly the exquisite sym metry of the young and the hideous deformity of the elders; here are CAMELS PERCHED UPON BY BLACK SLAVES, magpied with white napkins round their heads and loins; there are portly merchants, with tur bans and long pipes, smoking on their knowing looking donkeys; here an Arab dashes through the crowd not quite at full gallop, or a Europe an still more haughtily shoves aside the pom pous-looking bearded throng; now a bridal or circumcising procession squeezes along, with music that might madden a drummer; now the running footman of some Bey or Pasha endeav oring to jostle you to the wall unless they recog nize you as an Englishman—one of that race whom they think the devil himself can’t fright en or teach manners to.’ Despite all these relics of the Old World of by gone times Cairo is a great and flourishing city, it contains about 350,000 inhabitants, no fewer than 523 mosques, 30 Christian churches, 10 Jewish synagogues, 1,300 khans, 1,200 cafes and 70 public baths. The Hassaneyer, built in 1352, at a cost of $3,500,000 of our money, is the most beautiful mosque in the city, and one of the most perfect specimens of Arab architecture in the whole East. Within the citadel, built by Saladin in 1166, is the mosque which contains his own tomb, the famous Joseph’s Well, the mint, a cannon foundry, workshops, magazines, and all the other adjuncts of a great military es tablishment. From the ramparts the view, through the pellucid atmosphere,is magnificent; northward the eye ranges beyond the solitary obelisk that marks the site of Heliopolis, while west and south glides the sacred and mysterious Nile, dotted with sails gleaming in the sun; the time-defying pyramids standing oat, phantom like, against the gray background of the Libyan Desert, and the palm groves that wave over bur ied Memphis and its sole relic, the prone statue of Rameses. The sights within Cairo are many and various; there are the eunuch-escorted ladies of the Khedive’s harem driven through the streets in the smartest of London-built car riages, the cafes, the theatres and the bazaars; but the most interesting spots of all about Cairo are a little more than eight miles beyond Cairo. It is in our anthor’B language: ‘The fine plain on which Sultan Selim, in 1517, fought the battle which won him Fgypt, and where, in 1800, again the French, under Kleber, beat the Turks and regained Cairo; the famous JESSAMINE AND ORANGE GARDENS of Mataraech,ib”which stands the ‘Virgin’s Tree,’ the grand old sycamore that (tradition says) sheltered Joseph and Mary after their flight into Egypt. Less than a mile further on through an acanthus grove, and you reach the old granite obelisk—the oldest in the world—that marks the site of the ‘City of the Sun,’ in the family of whose high priest Joseph found his bride, where Moses learned the wisdom of the Egyptians, Jeremiah penned his Lamentations, and Plato thought out his sublime doctrine of the immor tality of the soul. For nearly 4,000 years this solitary pillar has pointed with its tapering apex to the sky, and yet the hieroglyphs on its sides are nearly as sharp and as distinct as if graven a year ago. ’ The Pyramids, and the ‘sad, earnest eyes and the same tranquil mien everlasting' of the Sphinx, as Kinglake writes in Eothen, have been described a hundred times, from Pliny to Miss Edwards, and upon/the topic of towns, we have only space to add that the remainder of the eight cities, as the Egyptians call them, are Ros- etts, Damietta, Port Said, El Arish, Ismailia and Suez. The details given of each of them and of a number of other towns and villages in the book before us are very minute and complete. Most men think that the institution of slavery is a great blot upon the administration of Egypt, and the opinion is correct and Mr. McCoan certainly deals with it too tenderly, al though it must be acknowledged that as it there exists it is managed upon far milder principles than elsewhere. Legally it is abolished, but still it is carried on privately, and although Christians can not buy a slave a Mussulman may. Slavery in the East, however, is by no manner of means a Mahommedan institution; it existed there long before the birth of Abraham and was simply accepted by the Prophet of Mecca, as he saw it universally and kindly prac ticed after the almost paternal method every where about him. In Egypt the treatment of the slave is very mild and humane. Mr. Mc Coan says that ‘he is simply an unwaged indoor servant, whom both law and religion protect from ill-treatment, and who, as a rule, is only as kindly used as ordinary domestics in Europe.’ Egypt, moreover, was long ruled by a race of slaves—the Mamelukes—and hence there is no idea of personal degradation in the condition. For all that it is bad, and should be remedied, that is practically as well as legally abolished. At the pr sent, time the slaves in Egypt may be broadly divided into white and black, with many shades of color be tween the two. To the one class belong the fair-skined Circassian and the dusky but often beautiful Abyssinan, and to the other the darker but still straight-haired Galla and the negro from Nubia, Kordofan or Dafour. The slaughter of the Mamelukes, and the admission of both Arabs and Copts to the public service, have nearly put a stop to the importation of white male slaves, who are now rarely met with as adults. Some few boys, it is admitted, are still purchased as playfellows for the sons of the wealthier Beys or Pashas, but in almost every instance, as soon as they reach full age, they are liberated and married off, frequently to their masters’ dauglil^^^^jtd in some way established in life. The Circassian girls, as in Turkey, find not merely purchasers but husbands in their j owners or their soauy-iut- regular TRAFFIC IN THESE WHITE BEAUTIES has greatly fallen off' since the cessation of the regular trade between Constantinople and the coast of Abasia has reduced the supply. We pre fer to allow our author to speak for himself. He says: ‘At any rate, it is only in the wealthiest harems that these exotics are to be found. They are generally bought at from ten to twelve years of age, and after being well nurtured for three or four years, and taught the usual Eastern ac complishments, are. as rule, either married by the master of the house or given as wives to his sons. In strict iuw marriage does not confer freedom, but the girl is nea(jj& always first liber ated, and the offspring are, in any case, born free. One special reason why these white girls are thus almost always married is, that they wear much longer than Egyptian ladies or Abys sinians, retaining their fine physique to thirty- five, or even forty years of age, while the latter are generally withered and passees before five- and-twenty. This is an important considera tion, in view of the now prevailing custom among the upper classes of having only one wife. * * * Some of these nouris are indeed very models of beauty, combining with a pro fusion of long wavy hair, lustrous eyes, regular an<j delicately cut features, perfectly carved busts, and admirably moulded limbs generally, a grace and even dignity of carriage that no arti ficial training conld heighten,’ Upon this subject we need only add for the information of the curious, the scale of prices of slaves of all sorts. They are from $50 to $60 for a black boy or girl ten or twelve years old; from $350 to $500 for an Abyssinian girl of from twelve to seventeen or eighteen, and from $2- 500 to $5,000 for a high class Circassian. Adult women slaves who have already been in service are cheaper. Males range from $100 to $1,000. Stage Notes. A Father Kills his Wife, Three Chil dren and Sister-in-law, and then Dashes out His Own Brains. Special Dispatch to The Constitution. Americus, Ga., June 4—Yesterday afternoon at three o’clock, fourteen miles west of here, the negro laborers of John W. Caldwell, a well-to-do farmer forty-five years old, saw him standing on his honse-top, waving his hands. Tney started to the house and met his little girl Emma, five years old, who said, ‘pa has killed ma.’ As they arri ved at the house, the laborers say, Caldwell jumped to the ground. The blow stunned him and they took him up and carried him indoors, where they found Mrs. Caldwell, her sister Miss Mitchell, and three of the children, lying side by side, all bruised by blows from a heavy iron, and gallons of blood puddled about on the floor. The laborers laid Caldwell down and ran. He got up and following begged them to kill him. He then went to the well and jumped in, got out and jumped in again, got out and went to the gin Douse, where he met his oldest son, six teen years old, and told him he had killed all the people at the house and was going to kill himsalf. The son dissuaded him, but he climb ed to the roof and threw himself to the ground, producing death instantly. When your report er reached the scene at 9 o’clock this morning, a horrible spectacle met his view. Caldwell and wife lay on one bed, the three children and Miss Mitchell on another, all with the most ghastly wounds upon their heads and faces* A heavy bar of iron, a hoe and a smoothing iron were the weapons, and were marked with blood and hair. The victims had been killed at various places about the house and then dragged together in the dining-room by the fiend. The neighbors, gathering, had placed them on the beds. The floor and yard were marked all over with Cald well's foot-prints in blood. Preserving Corpses.

One bottle of Egyptian Bairn does more towards preserving a corpse than any amount of Ice yon may be able to procure; keeps it life-like and natural, to which hundreds of onr own citizens can tes tify.

Many neighbors stated to your reporter that they thought Caldwell per- tectly sane when he committed the deed. His oldest son stated that his father was on the plantation in the forenoon, and at dinner was morose and ate little, stating that he would remain at home in the afternoon. Caldwell had eight children. Three were at school. Those killed were Nancy Alice, aged ten; Robert Ho mer, aged six; and Leila, aged two. Mrs. Cald well was forty, and Miss Mitchell thirty. The latter was killed in the yanfwhile trying to es cape being brained with a hoe. All tbe wounds were on the heads. Neighbors running to the scene saw Caldwell jump from the gin-house. He stated to some negroes to run for Represen tative Davison, his near neighbor, as he had ‘played hell,’ but was in his senses. Your re porter learned that he had been aberrated for some time, but neighbors deny this. He was usually a mild, quiet man and a good citizen, in good circumstances. Most o\ those prese nt thought that domestic trouble concerning M iss Mitchell was the cause of the tragedy. She has lived with Caldwell twenty years. The family physician thinks differently from the neighbors concerning Miss Mitchell. There are five chil dren left, two of whom are nearly grown. Cald well was a good farmer, highly respected and a church member. It is thought, from statements of little Emma, that Mrs. Caldwell was the first victim. The coroner's jury found a verdict in accordance with the above facts. _ B.
