TracklayinR In Nine Month,.
[Railway Age.]
It appears I bat In 30 of the States
and Territories 3,782 mile, of new
railway were udded during Ihe first
nine rnonthH of the year, repre-
xentlng apparently 212 linen. Ah n
few of the linen lie in more than
one State, the number of really rep
arate lines thus constructed 1h not
quite dh mauy*as 212, although in
general the extensions referred to
lie in only one Stale each. In re
spect lo new mileage, Georgia is In
the lead, having already added 323
miles upon 12 lines, while rooky
Montana, it seems, follows next
with 312jmllesou eight lines, and
North Carolina comes next with
220 miles on eleven lines. Wash
ington shows 207 miles on iifteen
lines, but this does not fairly indi
cate the great activity which is go
ing on In tills new Slate mid which
will result in a very much greater
addition of mileage before llie end
of Hie year... Tile fact Dial Waili-
ington shows a larger number of
lines on which track is ulreiicly
laid this year Ilian any other State,
is of itself very significant. Ala
bama, which has added 201 miles
on thirteen lines, is Ihe only oilier
Stale which bus (inis far reached
200 miles, although Texas lias come
close with 195 miles and will have
a good deal more to show before
the year ends. The only States
and Territories from whiclt no new
track Is tints far reported are New
Hampshire, 'Vermont, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Delaware
New Mexico, North Dakota, Neva
da and IT tali..
Considered,!^ groups ot States, it
appears that the nine States which
may be classed as Southern show
by far the greatest activity, having
completed 1,443 miles on sixty-five
lines, while the six Northwestern
States and the seven in the South
west aggregate 1,282 miles oimifty
nine lines, or considerably less thau
the nine Southern States. The
New England and .Eastern States
the central group and the Pacific
group all have done very much less
construction than those in the
South and Southwest.
Compared with the same period
last year, the work of the nine
months just passed indicates an in
crease, according to our records, of
470 miles. For the entire year 1889
the new mileage, as our books
showed It, was 5,200—although
Poore’s Manual subsequently
placed it at{5,751, which we believe
to he Incorrept; no evidence having
been presented by the Manual in
support ot Its figures. Assuming
that as large? percentage of iaet
year’s work is still unreported, e*
was the case in 1880, we canassitiu~
that the new mileage of 1890 « ill
aggregate over 6,000 miles, and, ou
reviewing the work still under way,
we Incline to'the opinion that the
total will be nearer 0,500 miles,
snd, possibly more, coming nearly
up to the record of 1888, but still
filling far below the wonderful
year of 1887, when nearly 13,000
miles ot road were built.

[Special Correspondence.;
Cairo, Egypt. Nqv. 10.—The next
best thing to knowing tho khedive, ac
cording to tho tourist estimate, is to get
an invitation to an Egyptian wedding,
j Some of tho hotel guests nro so anxious
for this honor that they do not wait for
an invitation, but take the liberty of
sending their cards to any house where
they hear a wedding is in progress and
asking for admission. Oriental courtesy
is so generous that this rudeness is not
only forgiven, but often tho owners of
the cards are cordially welcomed.
it was the good fortnno of the present
writer to receive an invitation some
time ago to be present at tho wedding of
the two sons of Mohammed Pasha. This
invitation gave me especial pleasure,
both because it was to give me an oppor-
tunity to see a high caste marriage cere
mony, and being a doable wedding
expected that it woald be n very brill
iant affair. My expectations wei% not
realized, however.
As to the marriage ceremony proper
there was none so far as I could see, and
one of the lrridegrooms apologized for
tho simplicity of the wedding arrange
ments, saying that this was rendered
necessary by his father’s absence in
Ceylon.
What seemed odd enough, though oi
course not unexpected, was the totalmb-
sencecf women. In tho great central
court and the various rooms on the lower
floor of tho palace no one could be seen
but inen. Bat ail grades and condition. 1
of men were there.
Hero were some of the rich young men
of Cairo in most elaborate toilets, ami
close to their elbows a bare kneed or
bare artne-J neighbor, who seemed to lit
mode just as welcome as they. Some ol
tho most exclusive of tho guests smoked
their lonely cigars in the drawing room.
This was a largo and comfortable apart
ment, furnished in Europeun style,
though lacking—as even the khedive's
parlors lack—most of tho beautiful and
luxurious things which make these
rooms what they are to us. Most of the
company, however, preferred, ns we did,
to minglo with the common people in
the central court. This spacious yard
was roofed for the occasion with im
tnense Turkish rugs, and hung with
large chandeliers sparkling with gltise
ornaments. Hero tho two happy bride-
grooms were kept busy receiving tlieir
friends aud scatiug thein upon the mat
covered benches, and keeping tlieir
slaves busy supplying them with food
ind drink.
it is a part of the customary marriage
ceremony lliat all tho Koran shall he
chanted in the house of the bridegroom
during the day and night of the wed
ding. This joyful task is generally per
formed by blind men. On this )iarticn-
lar occasion tho chanter was also a de
scendant of tlio prophet, as was shown
by his conspicuous green turban.
There was so much of shouting and
trilling and dwelling upon the vowels in
this recitation that it would have been
impossible for nn Arabic scholar who
was not a Mohammedan nor accustomed
to tho devotional elocution employed to
understand the words which he was re
peating with such fervor. We ought
not to lay this up against tbo Molscm
preachers, however, for on one occasion,
in ono of tho London cathedrals, I heard
n notice read, and the only \yord which
I understood was of Latin extraction.
Turning to tho man standing by my
side I whispered, “Do they always an
nounce the notices hero in Latin?" To
my great surprise he replied: "Ho was
speaking English. Do you not under
stand English?"
Certainly to tho men who Bummndcd
this blind reader his words were music,
for again and again, after what seemed
to bo an impressivo rendering of a favor
ite passage, they would shout in delight,
"Allah! Allah!”
Our ladies finally descended from those
mysterious upper chambers where the
brides were hidden, of whoso existence
wo were only made acquainted by the
burets of laughter which occasionally
floated down to ns.

youths who were being married had
really never even taken a sly peep at
their brides. Our ladies were willing to
answer this and many other questions,
for they had been ublo to get quite a
confidential chat, not with tho brides, in
deed—for they wore forced by Egyptian
etiquette to sit silently with their hands
clasped and their eyes modestly east
down—but with tho bridegroom's sister,
whom they found to bo a most intelli
gent and charming young lady.
Sho frankly acknowledged the advan
tage which tbo young bides possessed
in having seen their future husbands
while they themselves were unseen, bnt
seemod to think that her mother and
herself were quite competent to pick
ont wives for the youths. “I hopo your
brother will approdato your selection, '
one of oar ladies remarked; to which
tho sister returned the naive answer:
“I hopo so, too. Wo will know in the
morning!" What a scene must always
be expected by tho matchmaking mam,
ms, who has eeiectod-n homely wifo for
her son, especially if ho had paid down

had done!

ter of all admiring eyes, tbo younger be

and tbo elder magnificently attired in a

gown, wearing upon her head a golden
