LETTER OF COL. LOCKETT TO THE
MONTGOMERY ADVKRTIMKK.
EGYPT AS IT IS.
After passing through the beauii
fui straits of Messina we “stnnik a
bee line” for the mouth of the Nile.
Tbo second day we coasted along by
the southern shore of Crete or Oaudia
for ten hours. Then we had two
days without land, and eame|in sight
of the Pharos (light house) of Alex
andria, at 4 o’clock in the mornlug
of the 13th of August, just one
month, less three days, after we took
our departure from New York. Ev
erybody was well, and we had a most
delightful journey, without one sin
gle drawback, except a very small
amount of sea sickness, comparative
ly speaking. We landed at Alexan
dria at 9 o'clock and put OP at tbe
Grand Hotel d’Europe. Here we
got our first impressions of Egypt
and they are ineffaceable. The Hotel
stands near a long narrow piazza,
through which there was one contin
uous streatn of Turks, Arabs, .Tews,
Etheopians, Copts, Greeks, Syrians.
Italians, Frenchmen, Englishmen
and Yankees, passing all the time,
each dressed in his own costume.
Some afoot, some in magnificent
carriages, some ou donkeys, some on
splendid Arab steeds and some on
the backs of the awkward looking,
patient camel. Every known style
of dress and all the colors of the rain
bow in that of the Eastern jieople
(rave great picturesqueness and beau
ty to the scene.
We stayed in Alexandria one day
and Dight. I called on Gens. Luring
and Reynolds, and found them in a
handsome house surrounded by a line
garden of date trees and other tropi- ]
cal fruits and flowers. They have a
very unostentatious establishment. !
I expected to find orderlies, servants ]
and attaches in abundance surround
ing the entrance and thronging the
halls, kno whig that Gen. .boring was
a Pasha in Egypt. Brft on the con
trary a single black “bowah” sent me
and carried me directly to the Gen
eral’s sitting room, where he received
ine in plain, old-fashioned, cordial
Yuokoc stylo
The story published in some of our
American papers, about the time I
left home, concerning the manner in
which Gen. Luring was living, is sim
ply a gross fabrication. He com
mands the troops in the Alexandria
district, and lives in just about the
same style that any department com
mander does in the U. H. Army.
In Alexandria we saw Pompey s
Pillar, Cleopatra’s Needle, the Public
Gardens, and drove through a num
ber of the principal streets.
The next morning we took the cars
for Cairo, which we reached in six
hours. The railway runs up the Val
ley of the Nile, and passes through
a country very similar to that be
tween New Orleans and Baton Rouge,
with the exception that there is no
trees —atleast none of any magnitude.
Cotton, corn, riee, <n<i vegetables of
our Southern States were growing on
either side of us. The Nile was up
and water was running into all the
furrows, and was standing in broad
lakes over the uncultivated portions
to prepare them for a future crop.
The natives were at work with their
short handled hoes, shaped like a
carpenter’s Toot-adze, or ploughing
with their rude wooden plows. Oxen
are generally the beast of draft, but
sometimes a donkey and an ox would
be working together, and in one ease
we saw a cow and a camel pulling
along side by side.
The cattle of this country are very
different from ours. It is a species
of domestic buffalo, a specimen of
wnich John Robinson had in his
menagerie once, I think. They give
good milk, and butter ts by no means
so scarce or dear as we ex pected to fl nd
it here. The greater part of the milk
however, comes from the goat, and
large flocks of them are seen as you
pass through the country, grazing on
the uncultivated lands, attended by
a child and a dog, that keep them
from wandering into the patches of
oorn and grain. There are no fences
in Egypt, and one thing is bound to
strike a stranger as peculiar, and
that is tbeperfect manageability of
the whole brute creation. Donkey,
camels, cows, calves, goats and sheep,
ail seem to be wandering around
loose, and yet I have never seen any
trespassing oft the growing crops.
Between Alexandria and Cairo we
had a fine opportunity of seeing the
agricultural phase of Egyptian life.
The means of cultivating the soil
look very primitive, but the results
obtained are very satisfactory. The
perfect Irrigation, the absolute free
dom from weeds and grass, the per
fection of stand, give the fields a bet
ter appearance than auy you see in
America. The fellahs who do the labor
live in wretched little mud huts hud
dled together into small irregular
villages. Compared to these the old
style Southern negro cabins are hand
some dwellings, and a well arranged
plantation quarter, a magnificent
city.
At Tautah, a considerable city
about half way between Alexahdria
and Cairo, a grand agricultural fair
was in -progress when we passed.
Such a motley concourse, such a
huge conjuble of heterogeneous ele
ments, I never saw before. Bedou
ins from the desert with their cam
els,horses and flocks Of goats,around,
amidst and within their tents; Arabs
from the fields with their cattle and
produce; Jews, Copts, Greeks and
Italians with their merchandise from
the bazars of the cities; buyers and
THE DAILY TIMES.
sellers, loafers and lookers-on; gran
dees in gorgeous turn-outs and beg
gars |u rags and wretchedness, were
all mixed fnhether in what seemed
to us to be tne most unaccouniable
confusion. The multitude was so
dense along the railway it looked
like an impossibility to effect a pas
sage with the train, but some how or
rather We got through without acci
dent.
We reached Cairo at 3r. m. Here
was another striking scene. The cab
men, donkey* no vs, porters and bag
gage grabbers of Cairo are the cham
pions of the world, T Imagine, for
noisiness, persistency and obstinaay.
They talk a harsh, guttural language,
all of whose vowels, nearly, are the
broadest sound Of the letter ‘‘A” and
with? stentorian lungs, to. fobeo out
their jargon, vou can oonceive of the
din made by some hundreds of unfor
tunates with no police regulations to
restrain them. A dragoman address
ed me in English, and I at once put
myself in his charge, and told him to
take me to the "Grand new Hotel,”
and I left the whole responsibility of
doing so safely entirely to him. He
was a capital fellow, named Selim,
and he brought .us through in fine
style, without the loss of uny of trie
children or any or our baggage.
The Grand new Hotel of Cairo is a
magnificent uffai r,t hat won Id do cred
iit to any city In the world. It stands
I in part of the Garden oi Esbekieh,
; which is as lovely a little park as you
| can find, with a lake, fountains, beau
tlfdl flowers and shrubbery. The ho
tel and garden are both the property
of the Khedive, and have been made
within 111* last five-years.
All of Cairo immediately sunsouiid
ing the new hotel is handsomely
built with broad streets, open airy
squares, tall well finished houses,
trees and sidewalks on either side of
the drives, and all the improvements
of the best modern cities. But once
out of this region yon get into a most
labarynthine maze of narrow, crook
ed alleys betweeu overhanging
I houses of every imaginable style of
construction. Bnt I know I would
fail to give you any just conception
of tiie Arab quarter of Cairo, with its
palaces and hovels, mosques and
bazars, markets and stables and
everything else that u big city has Iti
it huddled together without one
particle'or method or system. After
one month’s residence here I still
llud this city one continual wonder
ment to me. I t contains over <*o,ooo
inhabitants; three-fburths of whom
are (lacked together like sardines In
a box. There is quite a large popula
tion of foreigners, mostly Italians
and Greeks. The next in number to
these are the French, then the Ger
mans, then the English and Ameri
cans. What is about the number of
foreigners lam unable to say, anil 1
doubt if uny one knows. It varies
greatly in ’different seasons of the
year, being much larger in winter
thon summer.
I do not mean to include in the for
eign population the mere transient
travelers and tourists that throng the
hotels and public houses iu the wiu
ter. • Their name is legion.
Four days after I got hero I suc
ceeded in renting one story or "flat,”
of quite a good house in the Europe 1
an quarter. We nave three bedrooms,
a salon, dining room and kitchen,
which cost four hundred ffoTFars per
annum. This suite of upiutraeilts
we had fo furnish, and that was
about the toughest job I ever under
took. Everything had to be pur
chased from people whoso language
I did not understand, who mistrusted
me, and whom I mistrusted. Well,
wo got together tilings enough to
make our quarters habitable, after
two days’ hard work. I will give you
some prices, to let you see the rela
tive cost of living here and in Ameri
ca. Plain iron double bedsteads,
from twelve to fifteen dollars; mar
ble-topped bureau, with glass, eigh
teen dollars; waslistaud with a mar
ble top. ten dollars; plain chairs,
palm-leaf bottoms, thirteen dollars
per dozen ; spring mattress, six dol
lars; cotton mattress, weighing say
thirty pounds, live dollaie, etc. Pro
visions arc here, on an average, about
on a par with those of America. Beef
is fifteen to eighteen cents a pound,
mutton the same, but vegetables ami
fruit are very cheap. Five cents will
get you all the tomatoes you want for
a day; two and a half cents a large
mess of cucumbers; ten cents a day’s
supply of potatoes; twenty cents will
buy two and three-quarter pounds of
magnificent grapes, and fifteen cents
t he same amount of splendid tigs and
dates. Sugar is about what it is in
America, anti the finest Mocha coffee
is thirty-five cents a pound. Meal is
about twice as dear as with us, and
flour the same. The wages of do
mestic servants are higher than with
us. We pay our man-eoolc, who also
waits in the house generally, sweeps,
goesto market and on errands, fie
per month. But washing here, my
wife says is “the very mischief.” You
have got to hire somebody to wash,
then somebody to iron, and maybe
somebody else to starch. And all
these parties, to use the negroes’ ex
pression, are “monstrous onsartin,”
as to time and the attention they will
give their work. The wash Dili
amounts to about $1 per and >zen in
money, ami an uiiajrconritable
amount of annoyance.
So much for the domestm economy
of Egypt. I brought quite a number
of applications for service in the
Khedive’s army with me when I came.
To all of these I have had to reply
that the Egyptian Government has
np desire to employ foreigners biut ply
because theyare such. A few Atqerf
cans were wanted to fill certain
special positions, where previous in
struction and experience would make
them useful. These positions are
connected with thestaff Departments
of the Army, vml theyare now nearly
all filled. There ire no foreign officers
in the line of the Egyptian Army—
and they are not wanted. They cyuld
not command the soldiers, because
they do not know tbe language of’he
country. Besides, the native officers
are now a well Instructed, competent
set of men. No man can be a non
commissioned officer unless he can
read and write, and the commission
ed officers all pass a rigid examina
tion before appointment. Gen.
Stone, chief of staff, lias brought this
about within the last six years. -
There are now twenty American offi
cers in the Egyptian Army. They
are partly engaged in the Bureaus at
Head Quarters in Cairo, and partly in
explorations in the far Interior.
All of Equitorial Africa is a field
forthe future operations of the Egyp
tian Government, and room for its
expansion, like the great West was
to the United States. Of course it
would be improper for me to go into
any details in regard to these opera
tions, being an officer of the Govern
ment. I don’t know anything that I
might not tell, but the general rule
is for an officer of an army to write
nothing about army matters.
COLUMBUS. GA., SATURDAY, DKOEMBETt 4. 1875.
The railway service of Egypt is un
der the superintendence of an
English engineer, Mr. John Fowler.
Some few ot Ids subordinates are
Englishmen, but most of them are
natives. The natives run the engines,
and are the station managers, ma
chinists, overseers, &0> There are
no places for Americans in this ser
vice as far as I can loam.
And now tv few words about the
climate and I will close. Wo got
here August lfith. Well wo havn't
had tin uncomfortable day since our
arrival. For tbe first, two or three
weeks it was pretty hot in the sun,
but it has never been disagreeably
warm in the house since wo came.
There is always a fine breeze playing
that makes the halls, balconies mid
chambers of the houses perfectly de
lightful, even In the hottest part of
the summer. I have taken not one
bit more pains hero thau I would
have done in Montgomery, to keep
out of the sun, and I hnvo experienced
no inconvenience. Just now the
weather is really unsurpassable. The
temperature is just such that you
don t notice it, at all. You can’t say
that it is too warm or too cool, or too
anything. At night a little covering
is very comfortable. I think the cli
mate of Cairo is better thau that or
our Southern States in the summer,
and it is the best in the world in the
winter.
I am well pleased with my position,
my duties and my surroutuliugs gen
erally, I am contented and happy.
My wife and the little ones are till
well. With God’s blessing we will
fight It out on til is line, with stout
hearts, willing and faithful hands fur
at least live years, and may be ten,
and then we will come back to Amer
ica,, to pass Ihe rest of our days.
May a kind Providence bless our
native land, and make it, once more
the best land the world ever saw, is
our most earnest prayer.
Yours most truly.
