TUB Egyptian war is not so far off after all. A British army officer is in this country baying and shipping mules for use in Egypt. There is one advantage an American citizen has over a mule —he doesn't have to go to Egypt.

OCR total wheat crop of this year it is thought will bo l»etween 550,000,000 and •600,000,000 bushels. This would amount to over 100 bushels for each man, woman and child in the nation, and of course gives a vast surplus for exportation to foreign lands.

AFTER holding out for three months, the iron and steel workers have stubbornly determined to continue the strike. They ought to be successful, but whether they will be is far from ceitain. The owners of the mills areas .stubborn as the men.

Otrn readers, wo know, will gladly •welcome tho return of Mrs. Harper as a regular contributor to the columns of The Mail. Under the beading of "A Woman's Opinions" she has this week a timely article on school books, which will havoacordial endorsement in many a household.

THE tremendous increase in the value or real estate in rapidly growing cities is well illustrated by certain figures given from the reoords of Chicago. Fifty years ago, land in the vicinity of Union Park sold for |1,25 and acre. Ten years later tho price had risen to $2,500 an acre. In 1870 the same land wtfH worth $50,000 an acre, whilo it rates now at the enormous price of $72,000 per acre.

HKV. MYHON REKD, of Indianapolis, emphatically denies the report published some time ago In a Wisconsin paper, that ho was disposed to ontor politics. He says he has met a good many politicians this Summer from whom he received tho impression that they got very little happiness or comfort out of politics. Mr. Hood is contonted with his prosent work, and will remain In it.

TUB

putting forward of Judge Folger

for the governor»hip of New York, is considered by politicians as the first open movement of the President looking in tho direction of his ronomination. If Judge Folger receives tho gnberna tional nomination, Jhe will resign the Secretaryship of the Treasury in which ovent there is thought to be somechance of Hon. John ('. Now, being promoted to the vacancy.

THK Palrymple fartn in Dakota has a world wido fame for its vast wheat fields, but it is not generally known perhaps, that Indiana has one of the largest corn growers in the country. Moses Fowler, of Lafayette, has on his farm In Bonton county, ovor ten thousand acres of corn, ono field alono containing four thousand acres. He also had this year two thouaandacros in timothy, aud the name amount In oats and wheat.

THH way to accumulate money is to -save it. There la hardly a working man in the country who doos not absolutely waste, that is, spend for that which does him no good, money enough to produce him a competency if ho would practice the required seW-doniul and lay it by in a savings bank intact for the necessary term of years. It is not the earning of large sums but tho saving of smaller one* that lays the foundation of a fortuue. _________

DKLKSSKIVS, tho Frenchman, who has Just returned from Kgvpt, expresses the the opinion that the present war will bo a long one, and that its result cannot yet be predicted. He says AraM has the whole nation at his back and though his force at present is only from 25,000 to 30,000 men, he has arms for 200,000 and c^n get men when he needs them. The climate is very hard on the English soldiers and will preve a destructive agency if they remain long In it.

The Utah commissioners have completed their work of appointing officers to revise the registration list and the law, to the extent it goes, will be enforced.

,,,« A NEW EDEN.. "There was considerable exdteinent last spring," says the Chicago Inter Ocean, "among people who are looking for homes in the new Northwest over the announcement that Secretary Teller had decided to open for settlement, under the pre-emption and homestead acts, a tract of 9,000,000 acres in Northern Dakota, known as the Turtle Mountain country, which has long been famous in the traditions of explorers for the richness of its soil, the beauty of its scenery snd its general attractiveness as well as producing qualities."

The land has long been regarded with jealous eyes by people on the borders of Minnesota and Dakota, who were only kept from settling on it by the belief that it belonged to the Turtle Mountain band of .Indians by virtue of a treaty with them in 1863. The question of Indian ownership has been decided adversely to the Red men (as such questions usually are) and it is now under stood that the region will be formally opened for sale and settlement at an early day.

In an interesting letter a correspondent of the Inter-Ocean gives some valuable information concerning this prospective new garden of Eden, which Uncle Sam is about to open to his enter prising children. The land is of the rolling prairie type, so familiar in the West, with deep rich soil,Interposed with lakes and ice-cold springs. We cannot do better than to give a portion of the pic ture in the writer's own words. He says "The mountain, or mountains, for there Is a cluster of them, cover an area many miles rfqunre, and are covered with a dense growth or timber, the largest area and the most valuable quality that has ever been discovered between the Minnesota pineries and the Kocky Mountains. It! consists of oak, ash, elm, cherry, birch, and other varieties, and the trees are large and of great value for manufacturing purposes. The woods are full of wild game—bear, deer, elk, etc.—and It has never been hunted to any extent, the antelope upon the plains being so plentiful that the Indians have not gone into the forests for either sport or food. The south side of the mountainsdecendAn gentle rolls, covered with excelent grass, and the timber line skirts along at distances of from a few rods to half a mile from tho base. Frequent ravines, with gentle sloping, woody sides cut tho mountain at intervals, and rushing streams dash through the plain at every mile. These streams are always full, showing the presence of spring-fed lakes somewhere In the mountains. Some of them spread out into marshes or broaden into lakes on the prairie, while others, after flowseveral ralles, suddenly disappear into subterranean passages."

Land in the immediate vicinity under cultivation produces from 25 to 40 bush els of whoat to the acre. In addition to its fine agricultural resources, there are believed to be vast deposits of coal of tho anthracite variety underlying a large Iortion of the valley.

As might well be supposed the land will be taken up rapidly as soon as it is opened to settlers. Already along the lineof the stage road and tho surveyed route of tho railroad lor ten or twelve miles beyond Larimore the country is is well settled, and sod houses, log cabins, and "claim shanties" are within view almost the entire distanco. This is the advance guard of civilization waiting for the timo when they can enter into the new land and possess it.

THOSB young ladies of Milwaukee who have Jgone to Dakota to take possession of lands which they had located there, are not doing so novel a thing as was supposed, according to the Inter Ocean, which explains that there are several thousand farms in the West successfully cultivated by women. Along the line of the Northern Pacific and the Manitoba railroads, in Minnesota and Dakota, it has boen the fashion for several years for the daughters of farmers, and in some cases for the young ladies of the towns and villages to locate Government lands under the pre-emption and timber-culture laws, while others who had money have purchased farms and cultivated them. One of these farmer women derives an income of several thousand dollars a year from her farm and spends her winters In the East. Four Philadelphia youug ladies have located a section of land in Dakota, having 160 acres each, and are well satisfied with their outlook. The Inter Ocean gives several othor Instances of enterprising young women who have gone West and realised handsomely by investing in farms, and while expressing the conviction that the proper place far woman is in the home, it says there are not homes for all at choice, and that for thoee adapted to it farming on the prairies is profitable and need not offend the delicacy or destroy the refinement of a woman.

THR great Northwest is "booming" and no doubt of it. Persons who have visited Miti neap-. lia and St. Paul this summer all concur iu glowing praise of the bustling activity which they present. Everything Is "on the jump" there. The Joint increase in population of the two dties within a year Is reported to have been 80,000. The people there count on a second Chicago, and if the present rate of development continues those cities, unquestionably, htve a great future before ts.em. There are some drawbacks, of course, as there are in every rapidly g-owlng country. Living is very high. The summers are short, and this makes all kinds of vegetables late and expensive. They £have no coal nearer than Pennsylvania and Iowa and this makes fuel high, while the winters are very long aud cold. Houses are scarce also and rent* high. On the whole, it costs fully twenty-five per cent, more to live there than in Indiana perhaps even this is too low an estimate. They have no day for brick aod no stone, so that the sidewalks have to be made of boards. In short there area good many things there which are very different from what they are In an old and longsettled country. But the air to pare and

worst commentary which has

been -made upon the 'character of the Russian Hebrew refugees is the fact that more than a hundred of them have been sent back to Russia from Philadelphia for the reason that they would not earn their own living after having been kept in this country for several months. Commenting on the fact the New York Tribune says "By some means or other all the Jews in Russia became possessed of a notion that America was a land literally of milk and honey, where work, as well as persecution, was unknown Many of them landed here iu the firm belief that theyt would receive money and support as well as a welcome. When this delusion was dispelled tne great majority of them accepted the situation with more or less resignation and began to work for a living. Others refused to work at all, and these have been sent back, as they deserved to be."

EDISON has at last got his electric light into practical operation on a large scale in New York. The district first lighted is that bounded by Nassau, Wall, Spruce and Ferry streets, and the East river and contains some of the largest banking and other institutions. There are about 1500 gas company subscribers in the district of whom 1100 have become subscribers to the |electric light. The new light is reported as giving great satisfaction, being soft and steady, and producing much less heat than gas The electric light is now seen working side by side with gas throughout the country, and is only a question of which is best and cheapest that will dedde the victory for one or the other in the end. Or perhaps both illuminators will continue in use for along time, as kerosene and gas have gone hand in hand now for many years, from duplex reasons of convenience and economy. That the electric light has been demonstrated to be a permanent and practical method of illumination cannot, however, be longer questioned. There is no better test of practicality than use, and the electric is in use.

Correspondence of The Mail. New York Sept. 4th. THE RAT CATCHER.

As I said, I had turned from following the rapid passage of an ambulance when there entered a man of most respectable and benevolent appearance, said one "You can not guess that man's trade." I should have said he was a collector or agent, but he was a professional rat catcher, who receives a hundred a year from this one establishment. I said to him, I suppose you know all about rats, and rats know you. "They do, and h'l can tell whenhever a rat or mouse comes this 'ouse. I 'ave my marks and signs. "H'ave you a 'otel man—I'll tell you where I work" and ho named every prominent New York hotel. "You sell rats for the dog-pits "Yes, buy them to sell again, but never catch them really, for I only scare them out of a'ouse. I used to do business in London and lUibliii. I've caught rats for the Queen, but when I coinetothis country, I felt above my trade/ and I went into the sporting business and lost money. Mr. Stetson asked me to clear his 'ouse, and I went back into my old profession—I make $2,700 a year, etc."

THE THKATRHS, ETC.

With the almost fabulous prioe of real estate on the principal thoroughfares, one is surprised by the spadous entrances, vestibules and lobies of the hotels and places of amusement. Passing through the fine aroade of Niblo's, I saw on its boards the long continued "Youth." As is too often the esse, a much advertised play proves to be scraps of old dramatic banquets hashed for a new dish. Here it is brought out with a fair company and abeut one hundred military supers, makinsa very striking of the departure of a regiment for

the price. Without entering into details of a group which seems to spring from the canvas in the bold relief of an alto-relievo, it could be! said thousands would pay to see this picture—one half of them because the.other half would say they 'oughtn't to.' It is perfection in drawing and coloring. One of the new departures in the amusement line is

THE ALCAZAR,

a very free and cosy, though perfectly respectable place, attended by seemingl a good class, and very quiet. It is a hall that will seat a thousand or more on the ground floor. An aisle surrounding the main body of seats is filled with tables. The first gallery is divided into boxes with tables and chairs. The second gallery, three stories up, opens upon a broad verandah, twenty-feet wide, which encircles the entire building and is open to a street on every side.

Upon a fine stage with artistic scenery is given the pretty little opera of the Snake Charmer, with Selina Dolaro in the leading part, and an excellent support.

In the boxes numerous parties are indulging in expensive repasts, and busy waiters fly from one to the other with their trays and an extensive variety of bottles. *On the verandahs overlookinj the dty, promenaders enjoy the coo evening air, and the billiard tables in the basement are all in use, and the Alcazar seems to be a gold Jmine to its owners.

Another was London bridge, with its line of lamps, and the river flowing beneath under its arches were some of the homeless vagabonds of the city. In a brawl, a man was thrown from the bridge the water flew up in sparkling shower and he victim disappears. Another plunged in. disappeared also, to rise again at a distance, bearing up number one. [Great applause.]

Going to ana from such places, or where businessmen most do congregate, one admires the bountiful provisions for eating and drinking, ana the astonishing amouut of it done. It is not strange a society was established here to encourage moderate drinking—any tiling further was absolutely hopeless.

TO RETURN TO THE EATING. I am hauuted with the odor of tomato sauce. The charge must be true that we have hundred dishes apd but one sauce. You can go to the Vienna Bakery, on Broadway near Tenth, and take a seat at a table iu the open air. Plants and flowers only separate you from the rushing crowd on Broadway as you eat a substantial dinner or an ice, or you might step into this merchants' rendezvous, where you can order an "Oesterreichisches, Kunnelfleisch and potatoe croquets," for sixty cents, (which certainly looks cheap) or a "Filet-debeef a la Chateaubriand" for fl.50, (which is a little high), or "pork and bean," according to your habitat. One of your neighbors will be scooping out half a canteloupe with a teaspoon, and another, finishing all with a thimble full of chartreuse, worth its weight in gold. The enormous expenses of living in New York might make one believe that s6me one has got to pay for all this. I saw something like a map of New York banging from a wall yesterday. It was somewhat like a not work of railways and rivers radiating from a Grand Central Depot. I* really was a nice large spider's web, with about twenty flies stuck in 4t, and a big fat spider was walking up and down leisurely eating them.

On the ground floor intersecting near a very laige marble tiled foyer, giving room for a thousand people to stand if necessary, broad and easy flights of stairs lead to equally spacious galleries. The auditorium is painted and decorated with oriental profuseness. The drop curtain is at once unique and a triumph of artistic skill. From the summit of the arch above the stage fall heavy lambrequins in rich folds of crimson plush, and then streaming to the floor are broad folds of white satin that seem to shut in a qaeen's pavillion. In front at the top of a flight of steps, stands a beautiful little page guarding the sheeny curtains. The plush and satin are only paint, but glow with the bright lights and soft shadows of the silken fabrics. Applause usually follows the rising the rising of the green curtain on this beautiful drop.

OLD TIMES.

LETTER FROM ONE OF THE OLDEST INHABITANTS.

TERRE HAUTK FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The letter below, although not intended for publication, will be read with uo little interest:

MT. VERNON,111., Aug. 31,1SS2.

MESSRS. BUNTIN A ARMSTRONG, Gentlemen I was pleased to receive your illustrated catalogue of surgical instruments, etc., indicating so credita bly your very large business. Allow me to congratulate you upon your prosperity, which, I trust, may continue and in crease. How different yours is from the little drugstores of olden times

I was gratified also that I was able, by your kind courtesy, to read the programme of the ''Tri-State-Medical Sodety" which will meet at Terre Haute in September prox.

These things awaken to me many old memories. I recall Terre Haute as It was jifiy-tveo year3 ago, when I came there to make my home in the West. Then the locality where your store stands was almost in the country—at any rate It was all open prairie there except where Mr. Gilbert'8 dwelling was, and his feuce was the principal inclosure near. The square of which you occupy S. W. corner, was entirely unoccupied. Col. Blake owned the square between Sixth and Fifth, and Main and Ohio, and it was also entirely unoccupied Jand unfeuced. I could, if I had time, tell you of some interesting things of early times before the Terre Haute House was thought of, or the prairie east of it was fenced. I could Interest you in stories of deer, of prairie chickens, of wolves, of foxes, of geese and brants we hunted and killed within the grounds now occupied by tho fine dty of the Wabash. Some fish stories, too, might bo recalled and repeated. If I should come over to myoluhome in September—which begins to-morrow—I might give links of the long past, when I was offered the square, then vacant, becweenyour store, corner Sixth, and the Terre Haute House (originally called Prairie House) for $500.

I do not know any of tho medical gentlemen of T. H. except Dr. Kuester, (who was Assistant Surgeon with me in 1864) and Dr. Ponce. All the old ones are gone to the better world. would write to Dr. Link if I was acquainted with him. I hope to see him sometime. I would like to know moreof tho "Ind., III. and Kv. Medical Society."

I scribble this note to

although

(so to write) I am "under the weather." Something has atllicted me, malaria or some other mat. el alt as lawyers would say, and I am not as strong as usual. The fact is, I am afraid 1 am growing old, being already in inv seventy-fifth year. I have npt felt it before

But, Gents, forgive this trespass and believe I am truly yours, J. w. HITCHCOCK, M. D.

P. S. I forgot tho Armstrongs whon I wr»te that I did not know any of tho physicians of T. H. except Kuster and Pence. Perhaps one of tbe Armstrongs is yet there? And there to Is Dr. Young?

Perhaps your Buntin is of the good Buntin House family? By tho way, I had my garden once where the Buntin House was built. I aold the lot to whom I do not recollect. I got It of tbe county for services to tho poor, porhaps for the amputation of the leg of a man by the name of Armstrong who lived below where Pralrioton is before there was any Pralreton.
