From Far -Off Cairo.
Cairo is simply thronged with tourists.
They say there has never been snob a
season known here. The people are
sleeping ou dahabiehe moored bn the
river, and some are Damping out in .the
gardens. The rush is largely owing to
the new winter exonrsion steamers, and
partioularly to the arrival of La Tour.
wine. I heard a resident say this morn-
ing, despairingly, to a shopman, "Yost
won't do anything for ue now that the
Ameri5aus have come. What are you
all going to do when the Amerioane go
away again and leave you?"
"If Allah wills it I shall smoke and
sleep" auswered the man, leaning weari•
ly back against a pile of rags.
The shops around Pbepheard's are full
of the loveliest things imaginable. East•
ern goods of every kind, and the East
Indians do a great trade in silver. The
finest is the cashmere with the patterns
of elephants and paten trees ; .then there
is, the Bombay work, foliage and flowers,
the prettiest, I think. The Madras is
covered with queer figures of Vishnu,
with his supefabnndant supply of arms
and iegs.
•Jugglers and street peddlers are also
coining money, and, as for the cabmen, I
see no reason why each should not diea
millionaire. The snake charmer is a
queer being who goes about the street in
scanty clothing, and carrying a monkey
and a canvas bag of cohas. For an iu-
finitesimal sum he will run bis hand
down into the bag and draw out a great
knot of wriggling serpents, wbioh he
drops to the ground, whereupon they
erect themselves straight and stiff upon
the very ends of their tails, and dance
around while he pipes to them upon a
small red flute. It is a fascinating enter.
tainment, but not popular with all. The
monkey never seems to grow used to it,
but always rune up the man's back, and
sits on his shoulder, chattering with fear.
The oft -described indescribable life of
the Tozares never loses its charm for
me. The narrow banes, the soft rich
color, the glimpses of the cloudless sky
through the quaint carved arabesques,
end, most of all, the queer orientale,
with their mixture of cunning and child-
ish simplicity.
1 am always amused by the bargain-
ing, the old, familiar comedy of attempt.
ed extortion, mockery of the offered
sum, then the transition, "For you I
crake it less, but I 'nee," the eager "How
much you give?" the following accept.
anoe, the beaming smile, and the pro.
foundly friendly parting. , The treasures
lately unearthed at Ibe pyramid of Dahs-
bur of Monsieur de Morgan are simply
astounding. Excavations were commen-
ced in the spring of 1894, and they are
still finding things there. There are
some very interesting statuettes in terra
ootta, colored and extremely well munld•
ed, showing the ancient iuhubitants at
their work. A man erouohee on the

bete. One hears often of great discover•
les which, when one comes to see them,
are only beautiful to the learned, but
these arereally p
superb. Necklaces,
clasps, bracelets, anklets, pine of bho
most equisite design and color, and in
shah preservation that, after nearly 4,•
000 years, many of the artioles look as
fresh as if just from the counters of Tif-
fany. The enamel is marvellous, and the
man who designed them was a master for
any age. The handsomest, in my opin-
iou, is the gold breast ornament contain•
ing in the center the hieroglyphic of
Usertesene IT.., and on either side an
enameled hawk wearing the double crown.
Then there are necklaces of golden shells,
each the size of a hen's egg, pendants
inlaid with colored gems, carved
in lotus blossoms, beads, scarabs, set
in amethyst gold, enamel and lapie
lazuli, silver mirrors inlaid with
gold, two rrnuching goal lions, eaoh ae
big ae a first, and a wealth of riches.
Reproductions are sold in Cairo. I stop-
ped en the way to call np,m the old
Pharaohs and to have a parting g'impse
at Ramesis the Great. The grim old
conqueror must have h;dd ills own to the
lest to meet the greater conqueror with
that undaunted front. I must uoufese to
a certain amount of sympathy for him iu
his stand a.•au.et the servi'e insurrection.
"And the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart
so that he would not let the people go."
Why should they go to worship in bho
wilderness ? Why not is the services of
Isis and Oeirte ? He must have had a
determined spirit to stand firm in the
midst of the portents that soared the
superstitions court. "He woeid not let
the people go." Well, he loolte it. Noth-
ing but the death of the firstborn could
bow that stiff neck. Another dead

and the eternal "Allah; 11 Allah," was
rattled over and over again until it was
almost iufeotioue, The packet, preceded
by the Noor of Bahrie and the Izeediu,

his downfall. As the body of the ex.
Khedive came' nearer the noise gradually
died down and down to a low, subdued
murmur, and the body was borne ashore
in a total sileues. The 1nneral at Cairo
on the 12th drew a great many people to
the oity. At dawn a gun was Aced, and
at a very early hour the Egyptian police
cleared the streets and took their stand
along the route. The squadrons of oat.
airy made a splendid' showing on their
milk white horses. I have never seen
snob horses nor such riding. One began
to put faith in the Arab steed once more.
The strangest sight was the religious
deputations. The foremost bore on their
basks large wioker water jugs, themouths
of which were filled with green boughs,
but I could not learn the symbolism.
Then came band after band of the follow-
ers of the prophet, bearing banners and
chanting prayers for the dead. Eaoh
separate band struck in on a different
minor, some with the Allah, 11 Allah, re-
peated over and over again ; and others,
with lines from the poem of "The Last
Judgment." A number of them worn the
green turban, showing that they had
made the pilgrimage to Meow.. After
these marched the Dervishes, with their
queer tall hats ; then the students from
the Mohammedan College. The distin-
guiahed native residents and the judges
and oivil functionaries, with their dazzl-
ing display of gold lace, caused the Eur.
opeens who marched behind to make but
a poor show. A most impressive figure
was the handsome old Coptic Pateiaroh,

is nota very secure seat, and perhaps he
was thinking that he, too, might some
day be deposed, to die fan away.
A strange, wild wail burst upon our
ears as the bier oame, snrrounded by the
ulemas, or hired mourners—women in
long black veils, wlio tossed their brown

they nbte.red wierd Dries. Above the sil-
ver pail was laid the dead man's uniform
and his scarlet tarbush—sign that Ismail,

I was struck with the aspect of the
crowd. It is a rare thing to see Arabs
quiet, but there was nn air of solemnity
and seriousness among them during the
whole time of the pnseing.
The Egyptian party organ most op-
posed to British interests has lately hit
upon an ingenious idea. The English
plea has been that Egypt is in euoh a
dangerous condition of oxime and turbul-
ence that the presence of an army of oa
cupation is necessary for the public safe.

every day records of crime quoted from
the Tinges, Standard and other London
papers, and shows that there is GO times
the amount of violence iu England than
there is in Egypt, and that, therefore,
there is GO times the need for an army of
occupation to take charge of Great Bri•

for an Eastern woman whose moiety is,
of course, limited, and who can only

She is not well at present, and the rutnor
is that she will go to Carlsbad for the
waters. Poor women, she has recently
been sorely tried by the marriage of her
son. The Cireassisn slave girl, label
