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

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

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

business. As I have said, I am a clerk
in the wholesale grocery line, and druggists'

That young sprig twirled a stick
in one hand and in the other he had a

written on it. " See here," said he,
making his stick whiz through the air
within a few inches of my nose. " See

pickles and glucose, you have been fooling
around grandmother's place long

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.
Wealth of the United States.
The wealth of the United States has j
multiplied twelvefold during the past 1
forty years, and if it were equally distributed
among the inhabitants each j
would have nine hundred and ninety ^
dollars. I:i the same time the wealth
of the United Kingdom has only !
doubled, and from being live times
greater than that of this country, it is
now smaller by ,-i\ millions of dollars.
While the influx of emigrants has (
increased the aggregate, the rapid J
rise of population has kept down the
ratio of wealth for each inhabitant. J
There is $r>,2(jr>,00(>,U0l) invested in

interests of the country were ;

and his share of the cattle would he '

Manufacturers have increased livefold
in value since 1850, anil the most ^
remarkable increase during the past ten (
years has been the prod net ion of iron
and cotton, the former having risen ,
from 1,5SO,000 to 4,100,000 tons, and j
the consumption of raw liber used in
cotton having increased from MO,000 ,
to D11,01)0,000 pounds. [

and while there were seventeen tons- ]
for each inhabitant in 1800, there are '
now only nine tons. There has, nevertheless,
been a steady increase of trade, j

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. Vaile. eleven for conviction,
one for acquittal. Three jurors
alone opposed the judgment upon the question
of the guilt of the last four. 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

England's War wltft Egypt.
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. The enemy'* loss is estimated at 1.5U0
killed ami wounded. At Kassasin there were
fifteen wounded officers and wounded
private?!.
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. All of the enemy's magazines
were blown up a.id all the unavailable stores
destroyed.

Perusing a recent copy of the Chicago

from Gen'l Leib, of the Chicago Democrat:
"St. Jacobs Oil is the remedy for rheumatism

ou<.'ht to be made acquainted with that
fact. Whenever I had occasion to use the
