We are quite sure that we ?c press the opinion of the large audience, j " ?ho ivere present, when we say that the a: .hok' entertainment was thoroughly en- i j11 )yolf, and that the young ladies and gen-1tc einen who took part in both perform-in nces acquitted themselves in a creditable lanner. The music and songs were so- {Cl scted fr'>m some of the most prominent | e| nisical authors, th'?y were well rendered nd evinced much musical talent by the [ iholars, and showed the great pnins and | . ire that had been taken by the Professor i11 i instructing therii in the art of music. P' otliing we are confident has a inrtre re-l"1 ning and elevat'ng effect than the culti- j j* iitioii of the tasto for music and nothing j J.1' Ids more to the charms of the fair sex 11 ian proficiency in this line. A merry mg and an innocent waltz increase the C1 lnremonts of home, and make it much ^ lore chocrful and attractive.

W. K. BLAKE. [e Announces Some of 11io Principles by which lie will be Governed, ?. if Fleeted?Patriotic Seutiments or a (iood Mam Editors Press and Banner: My duties are such as to make it int- 1 racticable to attend the series of politid meetings appointed by the Abbeville emoorutin Committee, at v liich it is exected all the candidates will be present, t Is duo therefore, to those of my friends y ho have brought forward my name for le Legislature, as well as to myself, to ?k a limited space in your columns to nnounco brietlv my Views in reference > such policy as will tend most to prolate the public good. The best government is tint which se-! ires to the people full protection in the jjj tijoyment of their rights and privileges, t)| ith the the lowest possible rate of taxa- <>i on. It is a cardinal doctrine of the ei emocratic party, that 110 tax should bo 11 posed except for the legitimate expuses of the government. High taxes w :e not only a burden on the people, but 01 >e large appropriations, which these navy taxes are levied to pay, are a fruitU.source of corruption. 1 lt( Economy in the administration of gov-1 a< rnuieut is as hecesviry for the public im lorals. as it is in the case of individuals. \ ^ am therefore opposed to the levy of any b; ix which the legitimate expenses of govrnmont do not require. The straitenl circumstances to which our people avo been reduced should awaken the at lost earnest inquiry into the causes;6' hich have operated to produce such re-; Jits. I think much of our trouble will jx a fminrl r>n i>lnln soriltirt v_ tf> Arise from i Ci le fact that wo practically ignore the: U nomaly of our situation?that of two 1' ?parn?o and distinct races of people, early equal in numbers, with habits L| lstoins, tastes and social relations as riif- m refit as their colors, and who will rolain as separate as distinct as any two J* itferent objects of creation, yet all inter- p. tingled and occupying the same territo- n and subjected to the same general u slicy as if we were one people?one in * ' ir social, moral and intellectual relacms and requirements. It is not strange lerefore that we should find much collision arising from a misapprehension of hi ie requirements of the situation. Our in ,\Vs do not reach far enough. Such latvs lould he enacted as the public exigen-1 es require. It is stated on the authority) f one of our Circuit Judges that crime is w i the increase. This is easily accounted j >y >r from the fact that the country is tilled ith idlers. This habit of idleness in- U( nces destitution And want, and these ,tter leAd to the perpetration of all manor of crime. Another evil effect of it is, > destroy all hope of ever having any ling like a system of labor, without Pj hich the great agricultural interests of j * ie country uuisi vuuuuuv iu v.. 8l he remedy is apparent?make idleness a qi :ini6?enact a most stringent vagrant I > ; iw and enforce it to the letter. This will ll ive u.s, in its results, the only solution " tbe labor question which can be devis- j {, 1. It will require men to seek employ- Ti lent Which will supply their wants, hi id thus remove the temptation to com- st lit crime. I am opposed to the present ostein of punishment by imprisonment, ai jcause, in tbe great majority of cases it di no punishment at all, but always a H >urce of heavy expense to be borne by 1,1 ie tax-payer*. The above is a brief statement of my iews on some of the topics which I re- st ?rd of grave interest to our peop?t\ w paco will not allow me to say more, ti he time which has elapsed since the *)< impaign of 1880 has only served to in-1 tnsify my convictions as to the import- a nee of the views I held then and re-as- tl T f iKn I'ntorc nf AllllOl'illfl V mnty endorse them and entrust mej^' itn the duty of carrying tlieni out, I will. 0 ive my most earnest attention, but if % Lherwise I will nave no regrets to exress. My only anxiety is that the views have indicated be put into execution, nd that those who may be elected shall J1' ave a proper appreciation of them. ? .? W. K.

The II Egyptian officers set a capital example to V heir men, often jumping upon the parapets th ,o see the etl'ecl of their lire. ar THE KHEDIVE^ PALACE BURNED At half-past ten the Khedive's palnee. called [ a? lie Kas el Tin" or the Hurein I'alace, lying be- j m una uieions.tooK nre.aneai ma lime J write i hstill burning. The light w.is nearly over ull i b;l ijong the lineby twelve o'clock, although the 1 ,ji, lilies ull continued to tire In order to corn-1 q,, jleie the dismantlement of theforts. Severcl tinull magazines in the course of the after- j ^ loon were blown up by our snell, a large one , n fort Ana beiKg destroyed by a lucky shot Tom the inflexible. At one o'clock voluneerfi were culled tor on board the Invincible go ashore to spike the guns of Fort Meks, which the llreol the ships had failed to dismount. The work was dangerous, for troops ?j, inight have been lying behind the fort, liowjver there were plenty ot volunteers, and twelve men were chosen for the ndventuro. Lieutenant Bradford being in command and Major Tulloch being Lieutenunt. Lieutenant Lambton accompanied him. This duly was kilfully nnd rapidly perlorined. To eflect a anding the men had to swim through the surf, but no opposition was meX as they landed. The gun* were burst with charges of gun _ jotton, and the party ret urned on board ship ^ without a single casualty. ^ FDTUIIK OPERATIONS. To-morrow we go Ln to engage the forts within the harbor. OiStside of us are merchant shins and foreign war vessels, most of whom w ill re enter the harbor alter we have destroyed the last of the threatening forts* Over Alexandria lies the cloud of battle, partly C( i-aused, no doubt, by the smoke of the guns, n which the wind has not yel Wown clear oflw the town, and partly from that arising from i cc the burning palace. \\ ARABI'S DETERMINATION The events of to-day show that the determination expressed by Arabl and his party to appose the fleet to the death ha? not. so far, been a vain boast. I think they fought their *?ns to tho last, but the fire of the fleet wasso brushing and the weight of our metal so superior as to Vnake.their resistance Inell'ectlve o They appeared to possess no shells, which > was well for us, for had they used these In- kstead of round shot thecasualties would have been much larger. As it is our success, although not bloodless, has deen achieved at a much smaller cost "than could have been ex- ,, peered, seeing the formidable nature of the works we had to attack.

New Gab E>*gin2.?A new gas en* e ha3 been invented In Germany, Its construction there is an upright inder, open at tho top, in whicii ys vertically a piston caving a : cheted rod, so arranged as in tho ; vn stroke to engage a cog-whecl at- . bed to the axle of the Uy-wlieel of machine; tie piston, fcluring a < ill portion of its upward course, : es in the rightly-proportioned mix- . e of gas and air, w hicli is exploded ail poinf.of the piston's course where mixture is bhut off. Explosion ot mixture curries the piston up- , rd until tho pressure of the extoratmosphere stops it. The enploi, depending on expansion of gases . ViHJif nt thft instant of combination. mmediately followed by condens.v i, and a partial vacuum in the cyl* ; er. The pressure of the atmos-1.; :re upon the piston forcos it down- / rd, and the ratcheted rod,, engaging cog-wheel, imparts this force to fly-wheel. The consumption of gaa about thirty-nine cubic feet per ^ #e powor per hour. lN Ingenious DIjvice.?An ingenious inch device for removing water idueed by the condensation of am in pipes, is among the recent in itions, and consists of an entrance ie, an exit pipe for the water, and ; loat balanced by a oouaier weight . 1 resting on the surfaco of water ich accumulates in the lower part ;he vessel. The action of the me' ^ mism is entirely automatic. As the ' it is raised by the addition of water, . inion on the shaft, on which its rod ns, engaging in a rack, elevates a le valve, and so opens the escape flee. The water then flows out unthe float fall3 low enough to shut . i Valve onoe ntor.Q. It Is. .auggeated it a device of this kibd, attached to . ) steam-heating apparatus of a . ilding, would doubtless prevent that agreeable clacking and. hammer- ; , f due to the water forming in the > >es, and the consequent injury the latter arising from repeated ains. ' ' .' Indebgbound Telegraph Li^es.? improved method of laying under)Und telegraph lines (s due to the ;enuityof Holtzman of Amsterdam, Hand. His plan consists, substaully, in providing a cast-iron trough, ich is filled with a peculiar bitum-. ius insulating compound, which is >ved to be very effectual. The gut- ' rests in the bottom of a ditch in . 5 earth. Tho compound is put .ia lie warm and sorni liquid. The tele* ' iph wires, insulated with gutta per* i, are then submerged," separately,the compound in the trough, and th? ? ter is then closed by a cover and s ditch filled with earth. The com? ' " "rt - __ i und soon cools ana soiiames, ana Ids tho wires in perfect insulation, affected by moisture, temperature,. * decay. A telegraph line of some ty miles in length, near Amsterdam; the above plan, has proved an en5 success, and although laid in bad, ampy soil, no breaks have oo? rred. 3bick-Makiko Appabatus. ?

Mr. Slndall, who lives in Ealtimoro, i-ompanied by his son, a lad eleve? "two! re years of age,' recently was at e Custom House and in maritime vies seeking for evidence that would nlirrn a strange story told by th? y. Mr. SiiuUill said that his aon. ,d been lost since May 8,1873. Tha y, whose story was not very clearly id, said lie was on the coal wharves, cbably Locus Point, as <i brig was. iout to sail. The captain asked th? y to cotue on board, and go down aa [ as Ho'.iy Grove, where he would landed. The boy consented, and p brig started down the bay. After iling for a lopg time the boy state* was put on board cf a large ship, lere he remaned in the capacity oi bin boy. He says gthc ship went to ina, and he gave some description the people ho [saw there, but says was not allowed to land, and had t been on shore for two years and ialf. The ship came back to BaltiVM-'hiiig here on Monday of t weok. The boy says ho stole oil >i:i the vessel and made his way me. lie gave the name o* the ves* . as the J'ltsruiTt, commanded by a ptain Wan', but tlievo is no suca mod v??asf;l m this port, nor has !>re ever bee;*, so far as marine rerdsgfthe past disclose. The stateMit of the f.sth u' that his soli has on lost for tlie time, named is doubtis correct, but the story of the boynot yet authenticated. ? JSaltiniori n.
