Ten* liVSSS 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.

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.

It is pleasant to take, cures Mala ria, indigestion, Biliousness and Lirdr Complaints, makes the blood rich aod pure. 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.
