The Undertone. I lay npon the water's edge, The lapping waves crept to and fro With murmuring soft 'gainst rocky ledge, With moaning where the rushes grow; And e'er beneath the tide and moan Sounded an undertone. , Neath the tangled branches of a wood I stood, and he'ard the giant limbs, With thousand tongues of leaves, enflood The place with solemn, dirge-like hymns, And there through sound familiar grown Sounded an undertone. I watched a bird upon the wing: His song of gladness, like a thread, Wove in and out the air of spring A web of sweet song 'broidered; 1 Uma /YilU U1V111 Willi UlIUl auu lUiiU Sounded the undertone. A wandering band of minstrels strolled, Vi'ith thrilling harp and wild, sad song; I listened as the notes out-rolled And beat against a careless throng; And there heard I?was't I alone ? The sounding undertone. And e'er, beneath the child's sharp cry, The maiden's laughter pure and sweet, Man's oath, man's prayer, comes drifting by, Life's undertone the soul doth greet. Is't echo lost to common ears That idling poet vaguely hears ? ?Marie Le Baron. The Romance of a Hammer. Yes, I am, I believe, quite a disinterested person, and fairly well-known for both my courage and modesty. I was boarding in a retired neighborhood in Xew York, and next door to me lived, in a private house, an old lady, with her granddaughter. Need I say that that young person was unusually attractive? I regret to state, however, that any advances on my part in that direction were met at first with much indifference. Of course, an acquaintance with the old lady had to be made, i Him ;i very queer um iau? >\ar> nm.-. With a great many eccentricities, she had one in particular which overshadowed the rest. Once her house had been robbed, forty years before, and she had never forgotten it. Though she was deaf as a post, she assured me that the least noise disturbed her of nights, ? as the dread of robbers was always on her mind. Whether the young lady shared her grandmother's fears or not, I did not ki^w. I rather hoped she did. It, as I thought to myself, I could only take advantage of this old woman's fancies, that might give me an introduction to the house. The old lady was garrulous, and I very soon scraped up an acquaintance with her. I had not been talking with her more than five minutes, shouting my words into her ears, before I broached the subject of robberies. From my pocket I drew a newspaper and read therefrom in loud tones a long account of a .housebreaking adventure. 1 must confess that in order to add some point to the story I introduced some quite new facts into the description. For instance the street in which the robbery took place was in an entirely different part of the town from ours, and for it I substituted our own immediate neighborhood. In the original version, however, it was an old woman who had actually been at the mercy of the bandits. I howled it all out, and had the satisfaction of seeinglhat it had an instantaneous effect on the old lady. " Deary me!" said the old lady. "Terrible! and we are so entirely unprotected?two lone women!" "Awful!" I replied; "andwhen robbers get in a neighborhood they never let up until they clean out everything. I don't like to tell you, but I have seen OVIUC > C1J> DUdU^U UliU. ilMOVCHVUO" looking fellows?tramps apparently? lounging around here lately." " Bless us! and I am so deaf, and so nervous. I am sure I shan't be able to sleep for weeks. "What can I do V" "I have an idea," said I. "In what story of your house do you sleep V" " Second story." Then the old lady described the position of her bedchamber?second story back. Her granddaughter slept in the same room. I had known that before from a care/i 1 reconnoissance I had made. My t>w modest chamber in the boardingis*" house was on the* same floor, and our rooms were contiguous, only separated bythe thin party wall. " Now, my dear madame," said I, " I am going to propose a plan of action ~ for you, quite simple of its kind, which - - ought to relieve you of all anxieties. I might recommend a burglar-proof apparatus with telegraph attachments, but those are very expensive things to set up. I can manage it all with a V hammer." " A hammer!" exclaimed the old lady, opening wide her mouth and *)*<* " Yes; a simple hammer." . " But I should be so terrified that if a robber were to break in I never could use it. I couldn't knock him J -? i.i. ii. >> n'i._ ~i.l 1...1 ?... uowu wiui 11. x ne um iciuj ? a.-? iviribly fluttered. " I didn't mean a hummer to be used t as a weapon. Oh, dear, no; quite different from that. Your room in your gi.- house and mine in my house are adP jacent, and the liead of your bed is just r.^ near mine. Now, I will buy you a + small hammer, and all you have to do is to take it to bed with you. At the ^ least noise take your hammer and give \ . it three raps oh the wall. I will at once understand that by that is meant a j" precautionary signal. It's quite as good as any telegraphic apparatus. 1 hear the three raps good. I wake up at once, and, springing out of bed put on my clothes. I am prepared for action, v' as it were. Then, should your fears f continue, you keep on rapping. I understand at once that the danger is imminent. Then 1 seize my revolver, cock it, runs downstairs, bound over the fence, and my presence at once * disconcerts the robbers. They endeavor to escape; I shoot two or- three I of them, and you and your charming ' * granddaughter are saved." "Its very dr^dful, but quite kind and thoughtful of vou. and so in . r? - ? genious. I do believe that if I knew that some one was watching for niv safety half niV fear* would be dissipated." The old woman really looked quite grateful. "So you think you could hear me?" she asked " Of course I could. I sleep on one ; . ear," I replied. " It is true the idea is perfectly my own. but as introduced by me it is quite practicable, for it has been put on trial; in fact, by means of the hammer system we might dispense with the police entirely. Once, when I lived in quite a deserted neighborhood ?a long row of houses in :i suburban portion of the city?I organized a hammer alarm. I had to do it for selfprotection. There had been robbery after robbery in the row, and the police were afraid to interfere. Everybody in that row went regularly to bed with a hammer. It was very hard on the thieves, for, as bad luck would have it for those rascals, they tried to break into one house just at the end of the row. In six seconds every inmate in the row had been informed that a burglarious attempt was being made. You might have heard the three taps working along from house to house in the. stillness of the niffht. Evervbodv turned out under my lead. We made a cordon, swept the street, and captured six or seven of the robbers. I don't remember the number of them exactly, only that they were the most bloodthirsty rascals known in the annals of crime." The old lady, whose hair fairly stood up by this time?or would have stood up if she had had any?was profuse in her thanks. Just what I wanted took place. I was invited next evening to take tea, and the old lady in person showed me her garden, so that I might understand the lay of the land. * Now, I had reconnoitered the premises before, not that I thought anything ever would happen, but really out of consideration for the young woman. The fence was not a very * high one, though adorned with spikes, 't To facilitate my climbing, I rolled a big barrel near it. I could step on ?- that and then with a slight effort could scale the fence. I showed my plans of succor and the old lady approved of them. I bought a tack-hammer, pre* sented it to her, and explained to her, in detail, the method of signaling. L' The tea was a very pleasant one, | > . and the young lady agrseabje. I went to bed that night- quite happy and quite . > like mail. Suppose these were real, true for true robbers next door ! What coidd a single, poor, inoffensive, unarmed young man like me do against a whole gang of bloodthirsty housebreakers? I know that they would murder me for interfering with their legitimate business. I thought once 1 would open the window and yell : "Murder ! theives !" but my window looked on the yard, and the wind was howling so that hud there been a whole squad of police below not one of them would have heard me. It was dreadful to be waked up that way, to walk to sudden death, and so unprepared as I knew I was. I cursed my officiousness ! I was dressed somehow at hist and went slowly, shivering down the stairs, making all the noise I could, but it was just one of those scllish boarding-houses where the inmates never take notice of anything. I opened the back door which led to the garden. I was wet to the skin before I found the barrel and what was mysterous about it was that the barrel had been moved away from the fence. In a minute it Hashed across my mind that did 1 once venture in the adjacent garden my retreat would be cut off, and that as the victim of some villainous trap, next morning I would be found | dead?dead?my skull beaten in with a jimmy. At last, However, ;u ine expense 01 | several severe excoriations, I was over < the fence. I gazed at the back of the house. All was still?still as death? ! there was a lull in the storm. I waited j to hear the agonized scream of the victims, but there was nothing save an appalling stillness. Then something rustled, and I covered my face with my hands. I was awaiting some crashing blow on my head, when a stray eat bounded past me. No lights were visible. I waited ten minutes, exposed to the drenching of the pitiless storm, for it rained now harder tiian ever; then, feeling that if the worst had come it was all over now, and I could do nothing. JL retreated, quietly, deliberately reclimbed the fence, and at last regained my bed. I was miserable, chilled to the marrow, and so nervous and excited that I never went to sleep any more during the whole of that wretched night. Next morning, having recovered somewhat from the effects of that night of terror, I awaited with much anxiety the appearance of that old lady at her door, for she always took in the milk herself. Should she . not respond to the milkman's call tiien | the mystery would be solved. Jiut she did turn up. I at once went to the door, and I expected that she would have a story of some dreadful charae tor to imparl 10 me, ami i was reauyio i tell her how I had saved her and her I granddaughter from death,when, much J to my disgust, after having exchanged j an ordinary good-morning with me, she was .about re-entering with her milk. " You had a most narrow escape last night," I said. "Oh, yes," she replied, smilingly; j "it's half water, and mighty hlue and j thin. Evidently she referred to the milk." " If it had not been for me." I said, "you would have all been murdered in your beds. I was up and out. In , three seconds after the lirst stroke of I the hammer I was in your garden. 11 hope your charming granddaughter' has suffered no inconvenience. 1 am quite positive that they?the robbers? were around last night, and my timely presence scattered them." "God bless my soul," said the old lady, as she dropped the milk, "and I di^ not know it." "Hut you hammered away like a first-class blacksmith." "Indeed. I did not," said she; "and my milk, that's all gone. I slept uncommon well; better than usual. I always sleep soundly when it rains." "Would it lie believed that the old woman denied the hammer incident in toto? Had I been dreaming? "Was it force of imagination, the teaming of a I delirious brain? A shocking bad cold j in my head assured me that it had ! been a reality. I was quite out of heart all that! next day, and went to bod at night in ! a most unhappy state of mind. Was my rest to be broken in upon again? I had hardly fallen oil' into a feverish slumber when I heard the accursed Liammer again. I covered mv head J with the bedclothes, liat-tat-tat it j went. It could not be a hammering of j my imagination, for I put my ear to | tli? \i-ull nnil tin* vilir:itii?n<8 ! through the llinisy partition. Oh, the unutterable selfishness of that old woman! And what if she were robbed of a silver teapot or so or a dozen teaspoons! I was desperate now. I rushed downstairs. Fortunately it was not raining. I found liiv barrel at onee, and that was reassuring. I excoriated myself again. I sealed the wall and landed with a crash on the other side on a pile of llower-pots some one had carelessly placed there. I waited a moment lor the noise to subside. I knew that if any robbers were there the row I had made must startle them. I rubbed a very badly skinned ankle and waited and nothing came. Night after night went on that accursed hammering. Was I to be j doomed to the terrible task of discovering thieves in that old lady's garden; and, what was worse, my chivalous con duct, my dallying with death, receive no recognition? Evidently there was some mystery. I was the victim whose sad end was being plotted. I never went to sleep after that without stuffing cotton in my ears and always in a most wretched frame of mi ml. I was a martyr of my disinterestedness. I was being robbed of my sweet sleep. Life became a burden to me. The old lady was either laboring under some hallucination or I was crazy. There was only one tiling which made me i suffer all these torments, and that was the belief that I was a hero in the eyes j of the granddaughter. I cannot say i that she ever directly expressed herself ( in that way, but looking at her at times ! when I met her in the street, as I ad- j dressed a few words to her, 1 thought j I recognized an expression on her face j which told me of her sympathy. These nocturnal visits at hist preyed on my spirits. I went to bed now with j my clothes on. I had bought a secondhand revolver. I had become reckless. I am quite sure that had I met a small boy of about the size of Oliver Twist at night in the old lady's garden I should have shot at him. The rapping would cease for a night or two and then commence again. I felt that this business must come to a stop. My employers, leading grocers,} had noticed my sleepiness during business hours, and had complained about it. j One night this spring wearily I ; climbed the garden fence, pistol in hand j ?for it had become a mechanical pro-1 cess now?and I dropped into a wash-; tub of water, placed with devilish in-1 genuity on a three-legged stool. As I | fell over my pistol went off. The I neighborhood was aroused at bust, but I ! distinctly heard in the bath-room that! overlooked the old lady's garden peals of j laughter, and a young woman appeared j at the window who was apparently en-1 joying the scene. If this brutal conduct on the part of that girl were not sufficient, think of the impertinence of a young man who ii> fwlniifc - forgot all about the signals. In fact, a week or so elapsed and nothing occurred to break the quiet of that really peaceful neighborhood. I aia sound sleeper generally, but on a certain night not long afterward there was such a terrible storm of wind and rain, with rattling of windows, that my usual rest would not come. At hist I went off into a half dreamy dose, when suddenly close to mv ear I was awakened with a start? I heard the three ominous taps on the wall! I never listened to anything so dreadful in my life. Was i awake! I waited a while. It was the precautionary signal, hut not the positive alarm. Rat-tat-tat?went the devil's tatoo on the wall, then I knew that danger was imminent. 1 looked out of the window, and it was raining cats and dogs I shuddered! Still the cursed rapping of the hammer reverberated through the room. J huddled on my clothes. I never had a revolver in my life, and, had I owned one, would not have known how to shoot it off. 1 I nnt li,.,l l.iit T !i1u!lv< whs romantic. The rapping continued called next day on nm at our place of business. As I have said, I am a clerk in the wholesale grocery line, and druggists' clerks are always stuck-up creatures. That young sprig twirled a stick in one hand and in the other he had a card. I am to suppose Ids name was written on it. " See here," said he, making his stick whiz through the air within a few inches of my nose. " See here, oleomargarine, codfish, prunes, pickles and glucose, you have been fooling around grandmother's place long enough, and you are a precious ass, and Mary Jane?that's my cousin, a lady I am going to marry?has had quite enough of your nonsense.

The Dent ist. The modern dentist is not like the dentist of long ago. The old-time dentist did not repair teeth: lie simply nprooted those that were decayed. It is only of late years thai the dentist has occupied a recognized position in the departments of minor surgery. Some dexterity and considerable muscular ' strength were the chief qualifications of the dentists of our childhood. When a patient called on one of them the dentist would put his linger in the patient's mouth, and after feeling around among : the stumps, and shaking them one after another until a howl from the patient demonstrated that he had hold of the right, one, he would say, laconically: " It's got to come out." Then he would go for his instruments. These me- : chanical appliances were of a very pnnuuve cnaraeier. i uey consisieu 01 several jniirs of tilings like bullet molds; 11 lost' of the largest size lie used on adults and the small ones on children. While he was engaged filing 1 the rust oil' his instruments < the sufferer had time to note > the contents of the room. On a shelf ; was a rope, with which nervous patients were lieu 111 tiie operating cnair; on another chair a basin, and a pitcher with a broken handle, containing water, presumably for the purpose of washing away such gorv evidences of butchery as the operation might leave; on a bro- i ken-legged desk, propped up with a brick, was a skull with a cracked jawbone, which was too sugg'^tive to be pleasant or soothing; in the window- < sill the dentist's library, consisting of a copy of Wedl's Pathology of the Teeth, 1 and a portion of a volume of Moore's ' melodies; in front of the operating i chair, hanging on the wall, was a steel < engraving representing Napoleon on < the Island of St. Helena. The picture was evidently put there with a view of 1 distracting the patient's attention from < thoughts of the agony in store for him. ' While he was wondering if Napoleon ' ever had toothache, and if he ever : burned the inside of his mouthVith ere- i osote and oil of cloves in his efforts to < deaden the pain; and while he was 1 wishing that he could change places s witii Napoleon for a day or two, the i dentist grasped him by the hair, threw i his head ba-k, inserted the can opener < in his mouth, and began groping around > for the bad tooth. When he found it, 1 his usual plan was to crush it into i pieces and dig <?ut the fragments one at < a time. During the operation the suf- { fcrcr groaned and moaned and yearned t for death. When the dentist got his I grappling irons around the root of a < double tooth, ;ind braced himself up i with his foot against the wall for a i long pull, a strong pull and a pull all 1 together, the patient thought that the 1 end of all things was at hand, that an < explosion thad occurred in the cellar, t and that the heavens were rolling them- ) selves up as a scroll, while the top of t his head was being broken oft', and his 1 vertebra was being jammed down into t his l"gs. When he was calmed with a < glass of water he found that the alarm- 1 ing sensations he had experienced were 1 caused, as the dentist put it, by" the : extraction of the molar from the alveo- > lar cavity." j The modern dentist is a different kind i of u.u aggravated outrage, lie has a * college diploma that he keeps hanging i on the wall in a tin case. He usually j has a nicely-furnished operating-room, i where he has an elaborate chair, working on pivots and hinges, that he places the patient in when lie is pulling his tooth, and another to be used when the ] tooth is to be tilled. lie has hundreds* y of instruments?diminutive augers and A gouges and scrapers, and one vile thing j that seems to make about seven bun- j dred revolutions a minute, and with j which he bores into the nerve of your ^ tooth until you feel as if your immortal ( soul was being tampered with. But the , modern dentist seldom pulls a tooth, i lie prefers to lill it with some gutta ; perclia sort of composition, or with , gold. Von set* the Idling will, r in the course of time, come , out, and then he gets another , job putting it in again, whereas, when j" lie pulls out a tooth it ends it; the ] owner of tin; tooth seldom cares to have , it decorated or to squander hullion on , it after it is out. lie usually carries it , in his vest pocket for two or three days, ^ and then throws it into some vacant lot. . When a man has an aching tooth that . tries to push itself into prominence, | that seems to swell up and get in the , way of everything he eats, and to take . more of his thought and attention than j lie can spare, lie can go to the modern j dentist, who will lill him up with gas j until he imagines that lie is a ha 1 loon, ^ soaring up almost as high as thedeu- . tist's charge for the operation, and ' when lie comes to earth again the tooth , will he gone and there will be a vacant . place in his jaw that will seem to him to j lie about the size of a town lot. The : painless dentistry of to-day is less ex- ( citing than the painful dentistry of the past : but it is otherwise an improve- ^ ment on the old style.?Tvxus tiij'tiuys.

These three habits may lie described as the habit of taking irregular and insullicient food, the habit ;>1' tight lacing and the habit of eating ?andy. I know half a dozen bright American girls who have really excellent prospects as singers, whose voices ire already beginning to betray the fact that their owners live on "lunches"and "candy" rather than three square meals l day. Jt is very certain that there lever will be any tone to a voice that omes from an insufficiently and irregu- ' larly nourished body.

Jury's Verdict in the Star llonte Cases. After deliberating from Saturday nntil Monday afternoon the jury in the star routo cases at Washington came into court for the eighth time and said that they stood then as at the beginning?decided as to four of the defendants and not able to agree as to the others. Judge Wylie then said that ho had come to tho conclusion to accept the jury's verdict, which was then rendered by tho foreman, as follows: ' I am instructed by the jury upon this indictment to make the following return: As to John M. Peck and William H. Turner, not guilty. As to John It. Miner and Montford C. Rerdell, guilty. As to J. W. Dorsey, as to S. \V. Dorsey, as to Harvey M. Waitc, and as to Thomas J. Brady, tho jury are unable to agree." The foreman explained that they thought it necessary to vote upon Peck, as he appeared in the indictment, though they were awaro of his subsequent death. Mr. Merrick objected that as Peck had not been arraigned ho could not be indicted. The court concurred in this objection and directed the jury to render their verdict, which was done. John M. Peck's name being omitted there!Voin. Motions for a new trial were at Ir. rm lu'lmlf of Miner and Rerdell, who were then taken to jail. A Washington dispatch thus summarizes tho result of the jury's deliberations: "Tho twelve men chosen to decide the question of the guilt or innoconco of these parties arrived at the conclusion which furnished this unparalleled result after three days of deliberation and twelve ballots. The lirst was upon the question of the conviction of all the defendants except Turner. It resulted eight yeas to four nays. On the next ballot the jury took the position which they afterward held throughout the three days'deliberation. It was as follows: W. H. Turner, not guilty: John It. Miner and Mont fort C. Rcrdell, guilty; J. W. Dorsey, ten for conviction, two for acquittal: Thomas J. Brady, ten for conviction, two for acquittal; S. \V. Dorsey,nine for conviction and three for acquittal, ami 11. M.

They were Dickson, the foreman, and Brown and HoiMend, the two colored men upon the jury. Holmead alone saved Vaile, the wealthy Missouri banker, from sharing with Miner ami Uerdell the carriage which bore thom to the jail. Brown, Holmead and Dickson refused toconci'.r in the desire of tha other nine members to send ex-United States Senator Dorsey to the care of Warden Crocker.

An artillery duel betweon the British and Egyptians was fought at Kassasin. The British had the enemy's range very accurately, and their shells burst over Arabi's ranks. SholLs froin tho Egyptian side fell steadily, into the British camp. Arabi's men were repulsed. General Wolsoley telograplied to tho British war office that he had captured four guns and many prisoners, and that liis loss was trifling. It is reported that the British lost in killed and wounded about eighty men. Twenty of Arabi's men were killed in ono spot. Following nre details of the fight, telegraphed to the London News: " After G o'clock this morning Bengal Lancers and scouts came in with news that tho enemy was approaching in great force on the north side of the railway. Our army was at once put in motion, and by 7 o'clock an nrlillery duel began. Arabi's troops of all arms are spread over the entire ridge and a mile and a half up the lino a train heavily armed has appeared. Close to tho spot where I stand our fortypounder and Krupp guns are placed, shelling the enemy's right. There is also a .wentyfive pounder a few hundred yards off playing on the samo position. We have tho enemy's range exactly. One of our shells burst right over the enemy's ranks. The Egyptian arjtillery have got our distance very well and their shells are dropping su-iiunj imu mn camp." Anothor account, published 011 the day after the fight, says: "In the engagement yesterday, besides the Egyptians who advanced from'X'el-el-Kcbir, a force of 1,^00 men crossed tho desert from Salihiyeh and operated on the right flank of the British. These troops continued the engagement after the Tel-el-Kebir force had retired. They had a Krupp battery, which they handled well. The British heavy cavalry pushed them hard, and finally captured one Krupp gun, with the team and equipment, and a green standard, which was taken from tho hands of a dead standard bearer belonging to one of Arabi Pashr.o crack regiments. The Salihiyeh contingent were routed, but the others reached Tel-elKebir in fnirly good order. Tho British los3 was comaratively small, perhaps oighty in all killed and wounded. Arabi's plan was well devised, but required better troops to carry it out, although tho Egyptians fought better than they have heretofore." Four of Arabi Pusha's officers surrendered to the British picket at Ramleh. They said that fully 300 of Arabi's men would do likewise did they not fear that tho British would fn o on them. They said that there wero only C,000 troops at liafr-el-Dwar, that most of thorn wero worn out and many were desirous of surrendering, but were forcibly prevented from so doing. A Kassasin dispatch says that tho Rtorml^g.of Tel-el-Kebir by tho British was tho decisive battle of the war. Tho first shot was fired about 4:45 a. ij., and in twenty minutes the position was taken. Arabi Pasha's army was scattered, and, with its leader, fled toward Zagazig, followed by tho the British troops, leaving 2,000 dead on the field and about 3,000 prisoners in the hnnda of the British. About forty guns wero captured. The British loss was about 200 killed, innlti/linrr mtintr British hands late in tho afternoon. An eyewitness of the'battle says: "The artillery opened fire beforo tho enemy were aware of onr presence. The infantry immediately after pressed forward, deploying and opening fire from a sheltered position. The enemy discovered onr men when about a mile from their works, and opened a heavy rifle fire. Our men paused for n moment on tho lino of tho sand hills, then with a gallant rush thoy were among the enemy. Acting on General Wolseley's orders they reserved their fire and went in with the bayonet. Tho slaughter for tho time was very great. The Egyptians could not stand it and broke and fled, pursued hotly. I followed the Royal Irish regiment into tho trenches before ono of the forts. They were filled with Arabi's followers, dead and dying. The final rush was made over a distance of liOO yards, tho men skirmishing and seeking cover until they reached this point. The first fire of the Egyptians was very wild. It came from both infantry and artillery and passed over our heads, fhey being disconcerted by the sudden attack. With daylight the enemy's fire improved and became like a hail storm. Many men fell, but not for a second did our advance stop. Our covering parties, lying down, fired, while those in front pressed on. General Graham's brigade worked with gallantry. Nothing could surpass their cheer, which resembled a wild yell and could be heard above the din of musketry as thoy charged up tne steep slopes or tne trencnes. xne .Ligypuans were terror-stricken. Many of them-hid in the corncrs of the works, while others fled at their utmost speed, throwing everything from them. Our work, however, was not yet ended. A large inner redoubt on Arabi's left, well maimed and armed, atill remained intact, but the British troops were not to be denied. With another brilliant rash they were among the enemy, bayoneting the gunners at their guns and capturing the heavy artillery. Thus we captured the key of the position. In fifteen minutes from the first rush we were its masters. The rattle of the enemy's musketry died away, while our men forsook the bayonet and picked off any Egyptians w],0 still showed fight in their retreat. On the south, the enemy stood a few minutes longer, perhaps a quarter of an hour; but the appearance of our cavalry on their right flank soon hastened their movements. In a few minutes one rushing stream of fugitives was making for Zagazicr, flying out of all their intrenchmenfs. A little later General Mcl'herson's Indian brigade burst upon the flying foo from the south, and tho rout war. completo. The artillery coming up at a gallop unlimbered, and sent their shot and shell after tho enemy, adding to their confusion. The cavalry had got right round tho enemy's flanks before the fight began. All tho work was done by our troops in tho first line of attack. Tho principal fortifications had been carried beforo the Guards and tho Fourth brigade came up." Another account says that tho Highland brigade boro the brant of the action. They dashed in 011 the left, completely surprising tho enemy, who, however, soon rallied and pluck ily replied with volleys of musketry, inliicting loss on their assailants. Major Colville and Lieutenant Somorville. of the Seventy-fourth Highlander.*, were killed. Tile British officers wounded were: Colonel Hurchinson, of the Fortysixth regiment, and Captain Keppel, Captain Cumberland, Lieutenant Midwood and Lientenant Gordon Cary, of the Seventy-fourth Highlanders. Lieutenant Gordon killed three Egyptian officers with his claymore. As the Forty-sixth regiment dashed over the intrenchments, their leader, Colonel Hutchinson, was wounded in the mouth ani^arried off the field. The black Soudan troops, on the Egyptian side, fought plnckily, and Arabi's artillery was well served, but the pure Egyptian regiments behaved very cowardly. The British cavalry, pushing forward on the right toward Zagazig. cut oil the retreat of the Egyptian* from l?afr-el-Dwar. The enemy retreated at full speed toward the.dcsert and Cairo. Arabi Pasha barely escaped, galloping off on a thoroughbred Arab steed. The British victory at Tel-el-Kabir left tho road open to Cairo, and they entered that city amid great enthusiasm. All Egyptians of rank occupied in tho war made submission. The events following the bottle of Telol-Kcbir and the occupation of Cairo were described in dispatches from Zagaziz as follows : An Egyptian officer, under a flag of truce, arrived at Rainleh bearing an offer' from Arabi Pasha's commanding officer at Kafr-el-Dwar to surrender the Egyptian troops there. This offer was addressed to Oiiorif Pasha, and contained the further information that all the military chiefs wished' to give themselves up to the khedive. They stated that tho rebel army had stopped all hostilities. _ Uutros woy, iceout rasna ana ah i'asnn* Roobi arrived at Alexandria and proceeded to the palace, where they presented to tho khedive, on tlie purt of the inhabitants of Cairo, an address pledging loyalty and submission. They were delegated to present this address at a meeting, at which there were present several liiu'h functionaries, .notables and ulemas, including the Sheik ElEdwi, hitherto a stanch partisan of Arabi Pasha. The sheik, however, took no part in the proceedings of the meeting. The delegates came from Cairo by the railway, which is intact. Butros Bey told the khedivo that the rebel force at Tel-el-Kcbir, at the time of the British attack, consisted of :50,(X>0 regulars, 7,000 Bedouins and .1,000 volunteers. Tho first news of W'ednerday's battle that reached Cairo reported a great Egyptian victory, and when subsequently it was announced that Arabi Pasha was on his way to Cairo it was rumored that ho bore with him Admiral Seymour's head. The people of Cairo had never heard of General Wolseley. and imagined that Admiral Seymour commanded the British forces. When Arabi Pasha arrived alone the populace stoned him. The khedive'gavo a grand banquet at Alexandria in honor of General Wood and Admiral Dowell. Sir Edward Mulct, the British consul-general, and all tho members of the stall" of the British . consulate were present. A brigade of the Highlanders went to Zasrazig and took possession of the railway to Cairo. All of Arabi's papers were seized at Tel-el-Kebir. Hundreds of fugitives, inrlinlm.r Tiimtv ntlici.M. *iirronilt>ri?d. The British casualties in Wednesday'* battle were: Killed, nine ofliceM and foWy-iivo men; wounded, twenty-twoofficers and men.

General Wolselcy, in reply to a deputation of chiefs from Tel-el-Kcbir. who a.-ked that tlie country he spared the humiliation of a further advance of the l!riti-'h, said he would occupy Cairo: that in a few hours he would dispatch the first train there with troopM. This was done. The sultan telegraphed to General Wolselcy olferinir congratulations on the splendid victory achieved liy him. and rei|iiestinj; him. now that the neck of the rebellion had been broken, to stop the march of the army into the interior. General Wolseley sent a telegram in reply in which he referred thesuil'iu to hondon for a response to his recpiest.
