T3. 36zun, Editor and Proprietor. 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 ground, baking bread in a small oven, an. other rolls dough, a line of workmen oar. ry atones on their beads. There are two big wooden boats in another room. But the moat wonderful find is the jewels of the Princesses Hatbor-Sat and Sent Sen. 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 Pharaoh, Iaroail Pasha, has just been brought from Constantinople to be boded lodor a gorgeous bronze mausoleum: in the Rifaiyeh Moagne. There woo talk of quarantine, but the matter was finally arranged. From ear. ly dawn the quay and shores at Alexan• dria were lined with an excited orowd. The native are even more wild than USW, owing to .the feet that it le the feet of the Ramadan, when, for a month, .they Can neither eat .oar dripk except at night, It was a strange mgdleyy of Arabs and foreigners, untrammeled Bedouine from thedesert riding on oamsle Dame aide by Ode with the QQnventlonel Englielnnem 'moiled on a email donkey and 504171111 the everlaebiog rod Illurray. If possible there was even mere than the usual amount of shrieking, and bho inhebitaute wbaoked each other over the bead in a manner to goers the unueed bcuriet hall to death. As the Tnrltieh vessel, the Towilk Ruh. bani, came in sight, the orowd buret forth into ejaculations and prayers. Senbeneve from the Levan were heard on every side, 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, firing minute guns, glided on past the tall lighthouse on the side of olassioal Pharos and past the long white wall of the royal palace !Ras et Tin, where the dead man Dune kept his harem when he riegned in Oriental splendor and squandered money. with the reckless prodigality that wrought' 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, and behind him Dame Mohammedan boys, some swinging incense, earns bear. ing copies of the holy books under purple velvet embroidered in gold. Tho Khedive name along and on foot, with -nothing but the gold sun on his breast to mark his rank. He looped pale and end, I thought. The throne of Egypt 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 11.1035 aloft and beat upon the breast as they nbte.red wierd Dries. Above the sil- ver pail was laid the dead man's uniform and his scarlet tarbush—sign that Ismail, "the wanderer," the exile, bad come home et last. 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. ty. The Egyptian journal now publishes 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• tain. The lower classes, as far as I could learn, are greatly divided on the question. They look upon all foreigners at insane from the way in which they give money, and I fanny would be loylt to offend such. a source of income as is brought to them by the presence of the English. of Ismail bas,of coarse The death s, put an end to thecoortentertainments, wbioh have been unusually gay this winter. v t The Khedive,Khedive,now receives after he Eur- opean ur-opean fashion, and has afternoon tea served for the ladies who are presented to l• <t a and ae her. Site is a most attractive t sible woman and as popular as is possible for an Eastern woman whose moiety is, of course, limited, and who can only emerge from her seclusion closely veiled. 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 Harem, who has been thrust upon her as a daughter•in•law, is a beautiful creature but is older than the Khedive, who is not yet of age, while' the woman is 21, which is old for Egyptian ideas. It had been hoped he would slake a European mar- riage and raise his country to a higher rank, and one of the daugh•ers of the Sultan of Turkey had been spoken of. He is rather a handsome boy, in a sleepy, oriental fashion, but excessively 1 doll and stubborn. After all, he is a sort of anachronism, now that' Egypt is so largely Engiish. Westward the course of empire takes its way, but the Orient lies fur 10 its walto, and while with us it is lots in the nineteenth century, lie and his people have, in many respeots, hardly t merged hem the patriarchal period and the manners of the days of Abrahatn still, to a large extent, prevail. Nominally ruler, he is kept under constant, stria. control, and if he goes too far in his at - temple at independence he is brought up at a round turn by the Englieh arnbaeea• dor, I'red, Croner, who is the real power in Egypt. It is a bard position, and his boyish bursts of rebellion are hardly to be wondered at. A happier subject df contemplation is bbs minded of Father Ahrwalter and the German nuns, who formerly suffered such horrible tortures at the bands of the Mabdi. The hereto beings were warned again to quit Kbar- tonm, but while every one else was flee. ing they stayed on to try and protect the converts at their large and eucteesful mission. Atter months and months of grewsoms atrocities, those who, were alive succeeded in making their escape and re.

Proal the ICemptVilleAaveue, ,lY am now almost at the foot of the hill of life, having attained the 76th year of my age, and never during that time have I made a statement more wiillugiy and conscientiously than uolv. My body bben ur'ed paid r upwarde thasirty eyearstorb, Qausebyd by rheufomatism, and there are thousands enduring a like afliictiom that need not if they would but heed my experience and avail themselves of the proper means of relief, The dfaeaee first affected my hip and spread to my legs and arms, Like many sufferers I spared neither trouble or expense iu seeking something to alleviate the pain. The disease had matte me so helpless that I was -unable to put on my goat and my hands and fingers were be. ing twisted out of shape. There seemed not a shadow of a hope of relief and very naturally I became discouraged and die. heartened, and time after time have I given uh in despair. While in Arizona three years ago I heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I sent for six boxes in order to give then a fair trial. I followed the direotions' closely and by thetime the fourth boxwas finished the pain had greatly lessened and 1 was much improv. ed. My friends having witnessed the I woo unable to put on my coat. wonderfnl effect upon my body mold not help admiring the Pink Pills, and being about toleasefor the east, I gave the re- maining two t ores to them. Unfortun- ately I neglected getting another supply for nearly a year after returning to this part and I felt that tome Pink Pulls were one of the necessaries of life. Last Spring I procured a few boxes and have been taking them since with 0 very aatis• factory effect am glad to say. Now I feel like n new man entirely free from pain or stiffness of joint. I have a slight numb. nese of fiat and half way to the knee, but am confident that these pills will relieve this feeling. Although. well advanced in years, I um able and do walk many miles a day. For rheumatism Dr. Williams' Pink Pillsstand preeminently above all other medioines according to my ex. perienne and I urge a trial on all suffer- ing from this painful malady," The above ie an unvarnished statement of facts as told the Advance recently by Mr. George Selieok, an esteemed resident of Miller's Corners, and no One hearing the earnest manner of its recital could fail ,to be convinced of Mr. Selleck's sin• cereity. But if this were not enough hundreds of witnesses could be summoned, if need be, to prove the troth of every word stated. Mr. Angus Bunohanan, the well known druggist and popular reeve of Kemptville, speaks of Dr, Wil- liams' Pink Pills es one of the most popular remedies known, having great sale among his customers and giving general satisfaction. Rheumatism, solstice., neuralgia, par- tial paralysis, locomoter ataxia, nervous headache, nervous prostration and die. eases depending on humors in the blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas, oto„ all disappear before a fair treatment with Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They give a healthy glow to pale and sallow complex- ions and build up and renew the entire system.
