War ia Egypt.
As was anticipated and announced
the bombardment of Alexandria
commenced at 7 o'clock a. m. of the
11th of July. The ships Alexandria,
Sultan and Superb opened lire upon
the fortifications. The batteries at
once replied and the action became
general. All the fleet joined. After i
twenty minutes cannonade two of the
forts ceased firing. Fort Pharos ap
pears to be much damaged. The
shipB have not suffered materially.
The people have deserted the city.
The Sultan and Superb y-on-clads
led off. The Egyptian batteries were
ready and replied instantly. The
connonading from the fleet after it
had" get fairly under way was simply
one of the most perfect specimens of
naval warfare witnessed in modern
times. So effective had been the
British fire for the past ten minutes
that two of the Alexandria forts are

business. His government is in dan

party ; should that come into power
the debts would be decidedly 'read
justed,' and the British and French
would be 'out'. So we are here to
keep the Khedive in."

CoxsTAXTixorLE, July 11. The
reply of the sultan to Duil'erin is
considered significant and belief is
entertained that England may after
all have committed a political blun
der in allowing Seymour to begin
the war. The sultan likewise told
D offer in that when he 6aid that Sey
mour was determined to bombard
Alexandria because of the refusal of
the governor of Alexandria to sur
render to foreign admirals, cities and
forts in time of peace he, (the sultan)
immediately telegraphed the Turkish
minister of England, instructing him
at once to request Earl Granville to
have England abstain its hostility,
wmen would constitute a grave in
fraction of the porte's rights and in
terests in Egypt From these utter
ances the sultan is supposed to be
advised in the interest of some strong
anti-English European power.
Paris, July 11. LeBseps, agent of
the Suez canal company, formally
protested against closing the canal
and has given notice he will hold
England responsible for all losses to
the company and also for violation
of the neutrality guaranteed the
canal. Admiral Seymour yesterday
issued an order closing the canal dur
ing the bombardment. His authority
for issuing the order is unknown, but
the result will lead to complications.
New York, July 11. The effect of
the war on American trade is ex
pected to be beneficial, rather than
otherwise. The tea market here is
overstocked and the closing of the
Suez canal would give an opportunity
to work off the superfluous stock.
American cotton will bo relieved
from Egyptian competition. English
export trade will suffer from the
closing of tho canal, giving an ad
vantage to our exports, sending by
Pacific railway and Pacific mail
steamers. The demand for American
breadstuffs will also increase if the
war is of long duration.
A Crista la Ireland.
There is no doubt that a very ser
ious state of things exists in Ireland.
Never since 1792 have the people, the
small farmers and the shopkeepers,
the tenants, and all of that varied
class that go to make up the people,
been so ready to enter the secret mil
itary and revolutionary organizations
and societies. The large majority of
the poorer class are members of the
Catholic church, and that denomina
tion makes a specialty of disount
enancing secret societies of every cast
and character. This influence has
been powerful in restraining this
disposition heretofore, but lately the
evictions have been so numerous that
secret drilling is taking place all over
Ireland, and a system of signals and
popular telegraphy has been organized
that is executed in the midst of the
red coats and defies their utmost de
tective skill. There is also, day by
day a large increase in effective
weapons among the peasantry. These
are lauded by night all along the
coast, and even shipped from England
in empty butter casks, chicken coops
and other kindred vessels of the
inter-traffic between the islands. It
may be that the same old story of
blood and judicial slaughter will be
written when this trouble is over,and
it may be that the plan of secret
assassination will be adopted instead
of open war. Omaha Republican.

Ed. Journal :-To continue my
account of April 25th, priulcd in the
Journal of May 17.
We lelt the Rio Pecos and moved
five miles east to Comnianchc Spring?.
The water was about the same as in
the Pecos. Sandy soil with scarcely
qnv erass and no timber. Plenty of
antelope, but no deer. Snow fell to
the depth of 3 inches on the night of
the 12th of April. Moved from the
Commanche into the sand hills, had
to haul water, as there is none for 35
miles east of Commanche Spring.
Scarcely a sign of grass or vegetation
of any kind ; in fact this plaiu is noth
ing but a desert with an occasional
Oasis on which the horses managed
to exist. Moved back to Commanche
on account of water. Sent out a
searching party to find it if possible ;
they were gone four days and found
water 35 miles east, called Mescalero
Spring. This spring is situated in a
pretty little valley at the base of a
table land which rises from the plaiu
almost perpendicularly 200 lect, and
extends as far as we could sen, at
least 50 miles. This table is covered
with buffalo gras9, and is dotted over
with Juniper trees, quite a paradise
in comparison to our last camp.
Doves and mocking biiifrf arc very
numerous, the latter keeping us
awake nights, with their shrill whistle.
The dill" barred our passage to the
east, it being impossible to get farther
with onr wagon. We stumbled on to
one of "Billy the Kid's" retreats,
where he was in the habit of running
stofeu stock. His corrall and abode
were in ruins. We returned to Ros
well ou May 4th, where part of our
party went north. Our outfit moved
on to Spring river, just west of Koa
well, where we rested 5 days. This
stream supplies lioswell with water
for all purposes. It tasted like nectar
after the alkali stuff we had been
compelled to drink for the previous
three weeks. Wo returned on our
old trail as far as the Bouito. there we
turned south and went into the Guad
alupe mountains. Our work lay
mostly in the foothills, which were
a decided improvement over the
plains. Soil a sandy loam, with
plenty of bulliilo grass and timber.
We camped in a little glade or pocket
of the mountains, where a spring
bubbled out of the rocks and blue
joint grass grew in abundance. This
was a good camp ground and
strengthened our horses amazingly.
There is an extinct volcano near this
spring with an old fort on top, sup
posed to have been built by the sol
diers as a retreat from the Indians.
The mountains are covered with pine,
spruce and scrub oak trees, with mes
quit bushes underneath. Grizzly bear
had visited the water tho night be
fore wo arrived, but we saw nothing
of him afterwards. Wild turkey,
antelope and deer are plenty in these
mountains. We were within three
miles of the Mescalero Apache reser
vation, and were not sorry to get a
little farther away. Our next move
was to the Rio Felixabout fitty miles
north-east of Lincoln, in Dona Anna
county. This is a narrow but deep
and rapid stream with a very solt
bottom as some of our horses learned
to their sorrow. It is lined on both
sides with scrub walnut, willow and
cottonwood trees. The water is
quite pure, and is cool the year round
on account of tho delightful cool
nights in both winter and summer
Fritz & Dolan have a stock ranche on
the Felix with several thousand head
of cattle.
We worked down this River to
where it disappears, to come up again
about 20 miles east. Dolan puts iu a
few acres of vegetables, and with the
aid of irrigation manages to raise
quite a crop. We attended a round
up and helped to brand the calves.
It was a respite and a curiosity to
most of us. We became a trifle ap
prehensive of the Apache who were
nearly out of provisions, and returned
to the Bonito. Passed through Lin
coln to Ft. Stauton, where quite a
large garrison of U. S. troops are lo
cated. The Bonito valley is settled
up some with Mexicans, and occasion
ally a white man. Drove to White
Oak, a mining town between two
range of mountains. Gold and silver
arc found here in paying quantities
There is a large coal vein just south
of town. Tho town is dead as far as
business is concerucd.as they are play
ing that mining game called "Ireeze
out." The town is supplied with
water from a spring, about two miles
to the east, at 40 cents per barrel.
Large pine, spruce and white oak
trees grow oyer these mountains in
abundance. There is an old lava bed
west of town from three to thirty
miles wide and ono hundred miles
long.
Started for Santa Fe on tho 23d of
June, striking our old trail at Penos
Wells and reached our destination on
the 29th. I lelt the outfit here, and,
in company with several other of our
boys, bid good bye to Southern New
Mexico forever.
We boarded one of the Atchison,To
peka & Santa Fe trains, booked for
Denver.
Las Vegas is a live town, doing a
much better business than Santa Fe.
Albuquerque, Lainy, Las Vegas,
Trinidad, La Junta and Pueblo are
the principal towns along this line.
The country from Lainy Junction
began 1o improve and in the Canadian
and Arkansas Valleys are some of
the finest Ranges in the west; it is
well watered and capable of raising
tair crops.
We arrived in Denver on the morn
ing of the 4th of July and thanked
our lucky hair that it was still on our
heads if it did stand stright up look
ing more like an untamed hedge than
a white man's hair.
W. H. Lawrence.
An affecting incident is reported in
connection with the finding of Mr.
Lain's body lost from the Sciota. A
coach-dog, which was a pet of his in
life, was found with bis body, so ex
hausted that it could no longer bark.
It was with him on the boat, but how
it found the body is'a mystery.

Editor Journal: Missouri is
leading all the statos this year in the
yield of wheat, and the flattering
prospects for fruit. The harvest U
about over, and bv rough estimate it
is thought the yield will average 20
bushels per acre. The tobacco crop
through central Missouri was never
equaled in the history of the country.
A district of eight counties will give
at least $3,000,000 worth of the weed
this season. The counties include
Lafayette, Jackson, Clay, Carroll, Sa
line, Howard, Cooper and the king
dom of Callaway.
I never in all my existence and
travels saw such fruit prospects. The
farmers are shaking off about one
third of the green fruit in order to
protect the trees. The first peaches
of the season and they aro delicious
ones are selling on the streets here
for 50 cents per bushel, and will fall

is a chance for some one of your many

The city of Lexington contains a
population of near 5,000, aud is a
member of the "Fossil" ago. No
progress or enterprise, notwithstand
ing her three colleges aud millions of
wealth, railroads aud the river. It is
beautifully situated; but the dilapi

weather-stained, moss-covered houses
remind one of Volney's meditatious

Here the youthful, as well as older

I interviewed Payne, the Okaloona

business relative to his entering the

Ex-Governor Butler, who knows
something" about corn, cattle and
hogs, and is utilizing that knowledge
to his own advantage, was busy de
livering curb-stone lectures to cattle
men and farmers of his acquaintance,
during a considerable portion of the
twenty-four hours he stopped in Lin
coln. "Corn," 6ays the governor,
''will be cheaper in Nebraska this
coming year than in any other state
in the union, owing to the extraor
dinary abundance of the crop, as it
now promises, aud the scarcity else
where. But beef and pork will be
worth about as much here as any
where. Here is the place to feed
stock. Do not sell a bushel of corn
even if it goes up to seventy-live
cents. Feed it, and sell cattle and
hogs every time." The governor ex
pects to raise about 10,000 bushels of
corn on his own farm, and he will
follow his own advice, whatever his
fellow Nebraskans may do. It is ad
vice that it will do no hurt to our
farmers if they will carefully turu it
over in their miuds. Lincoln Jour
nal. The Loudon Economist says "Con
sidering the commercial position of
Liverpool, the extent of its trade, and
the enterprise of its people, it is sim
ply astonishing that tho practice of
payment of checks which prevails in
other industrial centers is not yet iu
general operation there. As business
is at present conducted large sums
have to be passed from hand to hand,
with all the risk, trouble, and expense
incidental to so antiquated a mode."

United States Senator Van Wyck
is making himself felt and heard iu
and about Washington. He has been
a member of the senate but a short
time, and yet his name appears about
as frequently as any of the senators
in the newspapers. The postmaster
general has evidently come to the
conclusion that "Farmer" Van Wyck
is a trood deal of a man. North Ne

Hurbell, Chester and Hastings

Twenty thousand people partici
