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

GENERAL PICKET INTERVIEWED.
A Sttn reporter called upon General
George E. Pickett" last evening, and
found the gallant soldier quite elated

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.

deserve. I am informed that
General Stone, who accompanies you
is the hero of many a hard fought
battl? on the Federal side. Do j-ou
not think strunge that you should
now be' brothers-in-nrms after having
been bo long opposed to each other in
a cruel, heartless, unnatural strife?

oxpress it, the entente cmdiale among
thosu who fought against euch other
in the late war, is perfect. It is ? nly
those iu both the North and South
who were not in the field who still entertain!
those ungenerous feelings of
bitterness and animosity. In General
Stone I have the greatest confidence
He is a gentleman, a scholar and a
thorough soldier. I wish to serve
with none better. I say this not only
ity a Roldier myself, but a9 a South
crner.
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

in front of Jenifer, who commanded
a brigade at Lecsbnrg, or, as they

an affectionate farewell, after
wishing thorn a bon xoynge and that

they had so eminently won in America.

The New York Tribune has epooial

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*.
The Tribune'* letter says thflt early
on the morning of tho 1st of March,
Lopez, with 1000 men, Vos surprised
by a Brazilian force of the Aquidaran
stream, twenty miles to ttfe south
of A pa, and like the latter a tributary
of - tho Paraguay. The Aqpidafan
River is the same aa the Alquidavanigee

The letter says: At Rio Janeiro ,
the news was received with great en- t
thusi'asm. Some persons lead aloud t
extrets from the liiver Pliitto journals ?
to constant interruptions by tho j
cheers of those around. As tho Em f
peror was returning from tho city [
palaco to San Christovas, and was t
passing through Rua Dy Salta, the t
people who filled the spaco in front of e
tho exchange surrounded the impcri- t
al coach and shouted enthusiastic "vi- f
vas" to his majesty, the Emperor, to f
Count Do En and Genorol Camara. s
ILis majesty expressed his gratitude a
for these demonstrations, and added. ^
"You may bo certain that tho war t
is now ended.'* j;
Crowds of p ^ople, headed by musi- u
cal bands and t?eari? g tho 'colors of |,
tho throe allied nations, paraded H
ill rough llio streets, Bbouting viVas y
and discharging rockets. All the pub- a
lie buildings were at once decorated ?

imperial princes at his side; wont on

Tho wealth of the coun'y has been c

sufficient to sustain tho few that survive.
Tho prediction of Lopez has n

HOW TO TREAT NEW GLOVES. . 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

JiUely to fit as well for it. Ail of the #
expansions should bp m^de by the
bands ; if the kids.are so stnall as to
require -the aid of a stretcher, they tshould
not bo purchased* as they will v
prove too. small for durability, com- j
fort or beauty. When selecting *
gloves, .'choose those With fingers to t

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

which it is put together, and tho qualty
of its fastenings. Its flre-proof
qualities depand upon tho above

is sawdust. Too often mero rubbish

hat tho water in the alum would, on
