J. B. WRIGHT. novTJ.ly 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. <*'»'» The town of Payson,IlL, by a vote, put tbe matter of licensing ram-sel lers into the bands of a Women’s Temperance Union. Of coarse, no licenses are now granted. 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.
