French, of the Royal Marines, and
abont thirty Egyptian policemen, each
with a bine ribbon tied abont the left
arm as a sign of loyalty to the KLe-
dive. Behind these policemen were
three Egyptians hand-cuffed and be
ing led along by ropes tied aronnd
their necks. They wore nothing bat
long bine gowns—the gcMbich. Be
hind the three Egyptians was a car
riage containing a physician—Dr.
Londinski—and three attendants,
told the driver of my carriage to fol
low the procession in order to see an
Egyptian execution, and also to see
how the Arab population of Alexan
dria would behave when they saw one
of their bretbren shot by Egyptian
soldiers st the dictation of an English
subaltern.
The procession passed tbrongh all
the streets of Alexandia, through the
Eastern Gate, and arrived at Pom-
pey’s Pillar, where a short halt was
made. We then marched through
the Arab village of Carmoos, and ar
riving at a follow among the Roman
catacombs, we found a newly made
grave. The principal malefactor was
then blindfolded and forced to stand
at the end of the grave that had
been dag for him. At the Eng
lish subaltern’s direction five Egyp
tian gendarmes advanced to within
ten paces of the man condemned to
death. The other two criminals, who
had been convicted of stealing, were
made to stand facing the grave so
that they could best appreciate the
example that was about to be offered
them. The fi*a Egyptian gendarmes
leveled their Remington rifles at the
man sentenced to death. Bat at the
command “Fire 1" from their Sergeant
the hammers of theiij rifles simply
clicked upon the cartridges, which
turned oat to be damp and useless.—
After a delay of five minutes—which
must have seemed like five hours to
tbe malefiict»r—now cartridges wero
obtained and tbe five gendarmes
again leveled tbeir rifles, but with tbe
same result. Tbe cartridges turned
out to be spoiled. New cartridges
were then distributed. Tbe command
“Fire!” was a third time given, and
there was only a click in the pan, and
the wretched malefactor still stood at
the head of bis grave trembling with
suspense. New cartridges were then
obtained from the magazine abont a
mile distant, and for tbe fourth time
the five Egyptian gendarmes ad
vanced, aimed tbeir rifles at tbe un
fortunate man, and at the command
“Fire I” a rattling report was * heard
and the convict fell into his grave.—
The doctor stepped forward and foand
that he had only been bit by two bul-
lets—one tearing through bis cheek
and the other making a hole in his
leg. The man was now polled ont of
his grave and propped np so that he
coaid be ngaiu shot at. In the mean
time be begged and implored for
somebody to come and run a bayonet
through bis heart Tbe five Egyptian
gendarmes, however, again advanced,
this time to within about eight paces
of their target, and for the fifth time
the command was given to fire. Tbe
resalt of this fasilade was that he was
riddled with ballets, not one of which,
however, bad struck him in a vital
spot, and the man wad still writhing
in tbe dost, covered with streams of
blood. The sergeant of the gendarmes
then came forward, pat the mnzzle of
bis rifle to the poor wretch’s ear, pull
ed the trigger, and the cartridge hap
pening to be a good one, the man’s
head was blown to pieces. Just as
NUMBER 8.
the remains of tbe ootivict were being
bnried, a man qnite near me shonteil
in Arabic, “Now is the time to kill
more Christians!” Looking around
me, I found that besides three Eng
lish officers, a few newspaper corre
spondents and some dozen English
spectators, the whole assembly, of
perhaps a thousand persons, were all
Arabs. There was no Engligh post
within the distance of half a mile,
young employe of tbe Eastern Tele
graph Company promptly collared the
Arab who had uttered the dangerous
cry, and the gendarmes took him in
charge, and, together with the two
thieves who had been brought oat to
witness the exeention, he wis hand
cuffed and marohed to the police sta
tion in Alexandria.
A Vessel Deafened make to Twenty,
llvo Knots an Hour,
The steamer Meteor had been
process of construction for a num
ber of months past at Nyaok-on-the-
Hndson, and is now nearly completed.
Although built on the soil of the Em
pire State, the Meteor is essentially a
Boston notion, and the money need
ed to construct her was raised almost
wholly in that city. She is nothing
more than an experimental ship, for
she is only 100 or 200 tons harden,
bnt it is held that if she ean fulfill the
expectations of her designers a vessel
of 5,000 or 6,000 tons bnilt upon the
same lines wonld be pre-eminently
successful as a translantio passenger
boat. What it is proposed that the
Meteor shall do is to steam at thJ rate
of twenty-five knots an honr in a
heavy seaway, this speed to bp main
tained without regard to whether a
fair or a head wind is blowing. It is
evident that a vessel that ean
day traverse six hundred miles of
ocean surface, without regard to the
condition of wind or water, will have
a good deal to say in her favor, and
the performance wonld be all the
more astonishing if accomplished by
a relatively small steamer. It need
hardly be said 'after this that th6
model of the Meteor is so constructed
that it will be a matter of indiffer
ence to those on board of her wheth
er tbe waves make a clean sweep over
her or not. Above water she is to
have a turtle back covering the .entire
deck, thus giving her something the
appearance of a “cigar-ship,” while
below water her hall will resemble,
in a cross section ont amidships, • the
letter V, this form giving her, it is
claimed, great stability. If her ad
venturous builders ean demonstrate
by the Meteor that their method is a
sonnd one, they are then to raise the
money needed to bnild a number of
large steamships npon the same
model and enter definitely into the
ttansatlontic passenger trade, making,
as they hope, ships from Boston to
Queenstown in five days.
The Lee Memorial Association, af
ter many years’ work, have at lost
made final arrangements for the com
pletion of the mausoleum of General
Robert E. Lee, at Lexington, Va., and
the statue of Lee will be unveiled on
Thursday, Jane 23, 1883. Soon af
terwards, on a day yet to be appoint
ed, the centenary of Washington and
Lee University, of which Gen. Lee
was President when be died, will be
celebrated.
A stone weighing eighty-five pounds
recently fell at Salina, Kansas, and
another, cigar-shaped, fonr inches in
diameter and over twelve inches long.
Seventy-five thousand emigrants
settled in Arkansas last year, and it
is thought the number of settlers this
year will be even greater.
RIDDLED with mullets.
Two ; Elorlds murderers Treated to a
Shower of Hot Lead.
Jacksonville, Fla., Angnst 25.—As
a train containing the two oolored
prise ners, Savage and James, reached
Madison this morning, it was met by
abont one hundred people, twelve or
fifteen of whom rnshed into tbe train
and riddled the prisoners with ballets.
The agent of the railroad did not sus
pect any violence until a short time
before the arrival of the train, when
he attempted to telegraph it back,
bat foand the wires out. He then
ran np the track and signalled the
eondnotor not to stop, bnt some one
had boarded the train and uncoupled
the two rear ears.
The prisoner had been convicted of
the murder of Frank Patterson, which
occurred on the 8th of February;
1881, at Madison, in a room where
testimony was bqing taken in the con
tested eleotion case of Bisbee vs. Fin
ley. A new trial had been granted
by the Supreme Court, and they were
being conveyed from Tallahassee to
Jasper to undergo that trial when
they were mordered as detailed
above. There is great excitement in
Madison over the afiair.
A Remarkable Connty.
Rot, B. F. Keer, in Central Presbyterian.
Sitting in the hall of a hotel in
Milledgeville, your correspondent fell
into conversation with, the Presiding
Justice of Putnam connty Go. He is
a Baptist, a lawyer, and a gentleman
apparently much interested in pnb-
lio morals. He told me some things
aboathis county which the pnblio
ought to know. It is a temperance
connty. No sort of strong drink is
sold, except for medioal purposes.
The abolition of bar-rooms was the
spontaneous act of the people. Be
fore this was done they had the nsnal
amount of crime which is foand in
onr ooanty towns and country. Bnt
since the prohibition of liqnora great
ohange has appeared. Daring tbe
last three months the jnstioe said be
bad only issued two warrants for tbe
arredt of evil doers. > This was a de
crease of fonr hundred per cent, in
arrest for crime. The population of
the oonnty is fourteen thousand.
The town of Eatonton, which is the
county seat, has a population of 1,-
400. By actual count there are only
66 persons that have attained years
of discretion who are not members of
some chnrch. There is not a doctor
or lawyer who is not a professing
Christian.
At the Bame time there is a general
advance in pnblio energy and thrift.
The people are free, and in tbe enjoy
ment of their liberty are improving
their condition in many respects.
The day before thisoonventton was
had, one of the physicians of the
Georgia Insane Asylum told me that
of his nine hundred patients, folly
four-fifths were insane from the effeot
of liquor 'drank by themselves or
tbeir parents.
There are some theoretical objec
tions to prohibition, bat oommon
sens6 says that anything which, like
ardent spirits, does mankind snch
fearful damage, should be prohibited
jnst as we would quarantine against
small-pox or yellow fever- And if
the abolition of nun is attended with
such happy results as ib Putnam
county, it is bat common sense again,
to do what is prodnetive of snch re
markable benefit to tbe people.

Somefblng Intense In Light ani Heat.
'According to the Washington Post,
tbe Patent Offioe has jnBt extended
its Offioial wing'Over one of the most
remarkable discoveries of tho prer—*
century, it is sue to say, which i
will
not only eflqq^ a revolution in the
present' methods of producing and
applying heat, bat seriously under
mine the very straotare upon which
at;,the present genally received scien
tific notion of heat rests, j Tbe model
apparatus, patented by Mr. Culver,
the inventor, consists of a number of
small looking-glasses, arranged in
rows upon a frame so fixed that they
can be converged upon any oue point.
A working model, of which bo bus a
number, was exhibited to a Post re
porter in the yard in tne rear of his
residence, forty innocent, guileless
looking fifteen-oenfs gilt-framed mir
rors, eaoh 3| iqohes by 4j inches,
were arranged npon a frame propped
up like an artist’s easel, and bearing
a striking resemblance thereto. Fac
ing the easel was the fragment of
what was once a barn . door, also
propped np and partly covered with
a. worn and shaded sheet of zinc,
that unmistakable evidence of having
been horned through in several
places. It was bat tbe work of a
minute to converge 40 mirrors npon
a Space 8j inches by 5} inches npon
the barn d6or, and then the revela
tions began. As each mirror cast its
quota of sunlight npon tbe common
store the parallelogram of light grew
whiter and mere dazzling, until at last
it looked like a patch of electric light.
Bnt little patience was required to
await results. In less 30* sec
onds a thin catling pufi of smoke
gave evidence of the progress of the
experiment. In a minute the board
was. bursting pat ia flames. The
focus was then shifted npon the zinc.
In a few moments it began to torn
color; then shrink as if anxious to
getaway wheip it was cooler, end
then in less than three inmptys the
entire surface^ covered by tbe. focus
was literally melting, drop by drop.
To melt zinc requires n. temperature
of over TOG degrees < Fahrenheit.
The most wonderful feature about
tbe whole thing is tbu brilliancy of
tbe light. Eaohmirror add* not only
beat bat light. Tbe' forty mirrors
produced a light more brilliant than
an ordinary eleotrio light A band
held so as to intercept the; focus be
comes as white as driven snow. A
white handkerchief defies ordinary
sight and conveys bat an impression
of beautiful, impossible whiteness.
It is as bard to look at as’ the son
itself. The possibilities of Mr. Cal
vert invention are boundlesB. With
a combined square surface of 20 feet
of mirrors, lead melts qnioker than
thought, wood burst in flame and is
gone into ashes, and iron melts in
lees than 20 miontes. Each mjror
adds so mnoh to the beet and light,
and Mr. Galver has foand byactual
experiment that a comparatively small
collection of mirrors, qpoh one foot
square, fill melt all kpftfn metals in
a very few momenta.:-riHe has pro
duced over 4,000 degrees of beat with
bis mirrors. By calculation it is
known that 1,000 mirrors, each a foot
square, will melt iron sUd Steel with
the rapidity almost of : thought.
Missouri has a boy of twelve, nam
ed Guy Smith, ander sentence of
death. He lived at Kirkwood in that
State, deliberately shot and killed bis
father in retaliation for a whipping
received, and a trial for murder re
sulted in conviction and sentence.
He is represented as having almost a
demoniacal disposition and nobody
seems to want him set at liberty, but
the State will hardly hang so young
a child.
