Veteran officers and brave SOLDIERS JOIN THE KHEDIVE'S ARMY. The Nnmes of the Young Recruits. Some weeks ago the New York Sun Announced that a large number of officers formerly in the service of either of the two contending powers in the great rebellion had sworn allcgianeo to the Viceroy of Egypt, and had contractcd to help him fight his battles till victory perched upon his banners and tho troubles which vexed him yielded to the force of Confeder I ato arms and made way for tho reign of glorious peaeo. Thj same journal, in its issiio of Saturday', gives tho following additional particulars, with' the names and records of the principal ofticerawho are engaged in the now cruuade: GENERAL LORINO. Several months ago Goneral Loring, formerly connected with the arm}' of the West, but aforetime an officer of mark in the old United States army, left this city for Alexandria, and was soon followed by tho old veteran General Sibley, the inventor of the standard tent. General Loring lont an arm At MntamoniH wliilf* r-r.rr>rrt?nH_ ing tho First Mounted Iliflcs, and during the rebellion served wall distinction. Jn 1866 ho settled in Now York, where, after a short career as a broker, ho failed in business, giving up to his creditors every dollar of his property. He is an intimate friend of General Jordan, C'ommander-in Chief of tho Patriotic Army of Cuba, who has frequently urged him to take a command in the over-faithful Isle. General Lbring holds the position of Brigadier-General in tho Viceroy's scrvico at a salary of $6000 a year. GENERAL 8IBLER. whoso income from the government before tho war was about $12,000, r? signed his position at the breaking i out of hostilities and linked, his fortunes with those of the Southern Con- J fi'deraCy. In 1866 he ejjmc to New York and . settled in llobokcn . with his family, romaining there until invited to accept a command in. tho army "Among tho other American officers now in thoJSgyptian scrvicokaro Gen eral Stone, the unfortunate hero of Balls's Blutr; General Piclcett, of Virginia ; Colonel Tom Bhott, of South Carolina; Captain E.

Last night Colonel Jenifer, General Pickett, jUolonel ithett and General Stone, were entertained at tho rewidonco of James J Lotto, the Baltimore, banker, No. 20 Enst Thirtj'-seeond street, in this city.

The .arms selected were the Remington breech.loading rifles,. pf which 100,000 were shipped. . v GENERAL PICKET INTERVIEWED. A Sttn reporter called upon General George E. Pickett" last evening, and found the gallant soldier quite elated <?i> mw cariy prospect.01 ft brilliant ronown. GemyaiPickett, though never much of a strategiat, has beon always regarded as a fino officer, having been particularly noted for dash and tho elan with whicb he invariably inspired his troops, as evinced in the fearful charges mndo at Gettysburg, where his divllsion lost every general officer, most of its field officers, and was literally torn to pieces by the falling fire of'muskety and schrapnel urled at them by the Union , forcer. General Picket served with Genoral Lee in every, engagement fought by the army of Virginia, except two. Alter a few casual remarks ehlircly irreldvant to the subject, tho follow jng interesting subject took place i ' HBan Reporter. Genoral, I have bedrt told that yon lfeav? the Country tO-morrow in thoCity of Washington 1 for Liverpool, en route for'.

Reporter. What are tho. antecedents of Colonels Jenifer and llhctt ami Gonornl fitnnn? General Pickett. Colonel Jenifer, of Maryland, Was formerly ot' the famous old sccond cavalry, United States army, but latterly inspector of cavalry of .the Confederate service. Colonel Rhett, of South Carolina, was a ?ra<ftiat8 of Went? Point; and' an officer of distinction in the artillery corps of the Confederate army. General Stone, of Massachusetts, was also agradnato of tho Point, and who yorrnrl urlfK I ? V?4 If ivki vuv U'OklUCUWIl 111 liiu lute %var. I believe he was directly in front of Jenifer, who commanded a brigade at Lecsbnrg, or, as they : call it here, Bali's Bluff. Tho Sun reporter hero bade tho Egyptian rocruits an affectionate farewell, after wishing thorn a bon xoynge and that millitary distinction injEgypt which they had so eminently won in America.

The New York Tribune has epooial correspondence from .Rio Joneiro, March 25. giving full details oft he death of Lopes and the end of the Paraguayan war! The Son of Lopez would not believe the news until reading the particulars in the Tribune office, where he remained several hours. He was considerably atfccted at learning the new*.

J Two pairs may bo taken fVom oho ^ bo*, of exactly tho same cut and j, quality, and by given treatment when ^ first putting the hunds into them, ono t pair will be made to sit much better, ^ and to wear double or nearly that r length of time longer than the other. ^ When purchasing glpves, people are usually in too much of a hurry; tbey carelessly put them on, *rid let them * go in that way then, thinking to do ^ the work moro completely at ?noth> t] er time. Whon this is the case a Q pQi>Qn is euro to meet with dis'a{>pointment, for as thur glove is mado to j, fit tho hand the first time it is worn e so it will fit ever after,and no, amount _ of effort will make a satisfactory 0 chnrigo. -Never allotf ft stretcher to ^ do useu, jor me gioveB win not oe .

When a man goes to tmrohaso a sftfo ho should know enacily what he wants; whether his fcar Is of flro or thieves, or may bo, both, lio should ttlBO understand that thero In ? ? vww| ?i?M indeed, cannot bo, ft safo made either firo or thief-proof, oxeont in a relativo seuHC. 'aivon a fire suqlciontly fleree, ar a thief sufficiently skilful, it is but a nueston of tirao for the very best ?afe to submit. Tho degrco of rosist*nco thot a safo will offer to either bears a vory eloso 1 elation to. tho prieo paid to tho manufuetaror: no man can furnish a good safe for a low prico, and a cheap safo is worso than nono at all. A littfo consideration kvill mako this ovident. A safo is an ron or stoel structure, and its itrongth isdependont on tho quantity >f material used in its construction, l_i 11 ? -1 .? - it* BKiinui disposition, the caro with which it is put together, and tho qualty of its fastenings. Its flre-proof qualities depand upon tho above joints, and also on. the honesty of tho nakor in compounding the '-filling." rhis is, or, rather, ought to be, a nixturoof alum or other deliquescent lalt with an absorbent material, such is sawdust. Too often mero rubbish s substituted. The best filling of all 8 fine mnhoimnv anwHiuf ?i? ...?U JMUIIiful mixture of pounded alum. Uum, as is well known, holds a very ^reat quantity of water, about one lalf its weight, as it were, locked up n its crystal*. A comparative moderate heut will cause tho liberation of his water. Now, tho proportion of tlum to tho 6awdust should be such hat tho water in the alum would, on he application of heat, suffice to completely saturate tho sawdust. Tho The principlo is thatsa'es intended to esist fire are made iii two parts, an >uter and an inner cafe, with a space >etween the two cases. Tins space is lien filled with thn onmnr.?.wi ?w_ WW??I|/VUIIU VI iliwn and sawdust. Should the outer ihell of the aafe bo heated to any cxent, the alum will part with its water >f crystallisation, wot the sawdust, ill the safe with steam, and so preervoits contents from fire. Not only o, but the thicker the outer plates of he safe are tho longer will it take for ho heat to ponetrate .them ; thereore the longer will it bo before t.ho ,lum is called upon. Hence, it fol- 1 ows that u Bate with a thick outer hull, an ample space .botweon the two hells for composition, and no stint of ilum will longcbt stand the assault of ire. Further, a strong extorior is absoutcly nccossary- to withstand the tuckling eifcct of the heat, to keep he Hui'u ateum-tight m far as may be, ' .nd to preserve it in case of its own till, or ine lull of debris upotl it.
