In BO other States of any promi­ nence in corn growing there is some increase. In the Gulf States the advance has been heavy, hi obedience to the inatinct of self-preservation. The usual result of the bigh price of the crop, the immediate extension of its breadth of cultivation, was prevented in the Ohio Valley only by excessive rains ami a tempera­ ture that made early planting impossible. The condition of corn is marked low from la to planting, cold weather, and replanting after the floods, but it has been improving du> ing June, and is generally in fair vigor and active growth, promising a far better oonditiou in August, should the season continue as favorable as at this date.

J UPON the discovery that work upon ! the fortifications at Alexandria was in active | progress in open defiance of his previous de- j mand,, Admiral Seymour, on Sunday, July 9, promptly sent on shore a peremptory summons 1 for the surrender of the forts, with an awom- ! panying notice that in the eveut of a refusal he j should, within twenty-four hours after receiv- j ing such refusal, proceed to bombard the city. !

The bombardment of Alexandria was begun at 7:46 o'clock on tho morning of Tuesday, Jnly 11, by the iron-dads Saltan, Superb and Alexandra, of the British fleet The batteries replied at once, their shot at first falling short of the ships. The Inflexible, Temeraire, Pene­ lope, Invincible and Monarch soon Joined in the battle. Two of the forts ceased firing after twenty minutes. The gunboats Bittern, Con­ dor, Beacon, Decoy and Cygnet attacked and quickly silenced the Marabout batteries at the entranoeto the harbor. The Invincible then landed a party of marines at Fort Mex, who blow up the heavy guns with dynamite. At the moment qfl opening tho siege dense crowds of people could be seen nuking their way toward the palace, and the streets were soon deserted. The Geneva red cross was visible over tho hospital, and the Dutch and Greek flags could bo seen waving above their consulates. At 8 o'clock the magazine at Fort Ada, close to -the palace, was exploded. At noon four forts had been blown up, when the firing practically ceased. The English fleet had five men killed and twenty-seven wounded. Several of tho enrthworks behind which guns were mounted proved to be mere sand-heaps. The Turkish Ambassador at London was tele­ graphed by the Porte to lose not a moment in urging Lord Granville to order a cessation of firing. In the British House of Lords, Gran­ ville said the bombardment was directed against a military despotism, and was not an act of war against the allied powers. The New York Tribune's special cablegram says of the bombardment: '• The bombard­ ment marks an epoch in the history of warfare^ for never haa such a storm of shot and shell been hurled against any defenses, either on land or sea. The Alexandra was tiie first ship to opeu fire, and, the shots being returned, in a quarter of an hour tho action became general, lhe broadside iron-clads alone remained at anchor. The remainder of the fleet steamed to and fro in the roadstead. The Arabs stood to the guns of the other forts with a sturdy de- ! termination nntil near midday ; but their fire was very ill-directed. Most of the shots fell short or went over the ships, and the few that •truck did little damage. "The result of the engagement has not by any means fulfilled the expectations of artille­ rists, and there is much surprise that the shells fired from the eighty-ton guns of the Inflexible had so little effect on the earth-works. In con­ sidering that, it ought to be borne in mind that this ship directed her fire from a point two miles distant from the batteries. The heaviest guns of the other vessels are four of twenty-five tons on the Monarch, two of twenty-five tons on the Alexandra, and the rest are armed with eighteen and twelve tons. The heaviest guns mounted on the Egyptian forts are eighteen and twelve tons, of tho old Woolwich pattern, but still very serviceable weapons of tho larger kind, throwing 400- pound shells, calculated to pierce twelve-inch armor. The day's operations extended over a line of four miles in length." The bombardment was resumed early on the morning of the 12th. Tho Inflexible and Tem­ eraire opened fire on Moncrieffe fort, which, during the night, had been repaired. The batteries were evidently much damaged by the first three shots, as they made no re­ sponse. A steamer was soon seen approaching the fleet with a flag of truce, and a similar em­ blem was hoisted at the arsenal, when the bom­ bardment was suspended. When the gunboat Bittern proceeded to the harbor to learn the object of the flag of truce, (Toulba Pasha sent word that he wished to com­ municate with Admiral Seymour, and was informed that as a preliminary condition the forts mnst be surren­ dered. Several large fires broke out in the City. The Turkish Ambassador at Lon-* don was informed by Earl Granville that En­ gland acted in the name of Europe. The Lon­ don Daily Telegraph V>rrespoi«dent telenraplis regarding the second day's bombardment: "I took an open boat and went close along­ side land. I found all the batteries facing the sea destroyed and the guus dismounted. An Arab informed me that many hundred persons had been killed between Adjemi and Alexan­ dria. Au explosion occurred in the middle of the. fort, lulling everybody inside. Arabs informed me the noise of burst­ ing shells was like thuuder, and they declared hundreds of people were killed in distant stieets. They stated that the obstinacy of the defense was owing to the fact that tho batteries were manned by negro Mohammed­ ans. They estimate the loss of life among sol- j diers and townsfolk at 2,000.

Germany and Austria telegraphed Gladstone their approval of the action of the British fleet Admiral Seymour landed about 1,000 murine at Alexandria on the 14th inst, the bulk of whom were sent to guard the Khedive in his palace. They represented all the war ships in the harbor, the American complement being sixty men. Arabs were pillaging the town, and 200 marines were given orders to march about the city and shoot all rioters and looters. Explo­ sions were continually occurring. A party of blue jackets spiked nineteen guns in Fort Gabarri. The number of Christians massacred by the mob is estimated at 2,000. It is stated that Arabi Pasha was a fugitive, and that his troops were dispersing. The Turkish Prime Minister maintains he must be treated as a rebel. Arabi gave orders to murder the Khedive, and burn and pillage the city before quitting it The fire continued with unabated fury, and women were seen throwing petroleum upon buildings.

From 1517 to 1811 the country was under the absolute control of Turkey. After the French and English com­ plications of the First Napoleon's time, Me- hemet Alt was appointed Governor. The Beys rebelled against him, but after a series of wars he became virtual master of the country. After a long conflict with Turkey he seeurod the rec­ ognition of his dynasty from the Sultan, the five great powers of Europe guaranteeing the succession and the fulfillment of conditions on the part of Turkey. ' Iu this way Egypt came into European poli­ tics as the ward" of the nations, the powers all having an interest iu the conduct of her affairs, i In 1866 the Sultan gave the ruler of Egypt the ' title of King or Kh'-dive, and in 1878 granted to the Ktieflive (Ismail L) the right to conclude treaties with foreigu powers and to maintain armies. This made tho Khedive virtually independent, and he proceeded to inaugurate a grand sys­ tem of public improvements. His not well- diroctod enthusiasm ended in the distress of his peop'o and the bankruptcy of the country, rnd in 1879, alter there had been years of reckless expenditure and loose management, England and France interfered under a clause of the guarantee of 1841, compellod Ismail L to abdicate, put Mohammed Tewfik, the present Khedive, on the throne, and placed the admin­ istration of affairs under the supervision of two Controllers General, representing the two European Governments. In 1880 the Khedive appointed an International Commission of Liquidation to examine the financial situation of Egypt and frame a law regulating the rela­ tions between Egypt and her creditors. Both of these stops were taken with the con­ sent of' all the guaranteeing powers, and for a time it seemed that tho Controllers General would carry out without difficulty many needed reforms. A great deal was accomplished, but the European methods, while they admittedly made (he condition of the people better, ex­ cited the prejudice of the Arabs, or Moham­ medans, and this dissatisfaction was encour­ aged by Turkish emissaries. Among the younger men of the Mohamme­ dan party was Arabi Bey, who, after an adven­ turous career in the army, became Minister of War. He was from the first dissatisfied with European management in Egypt, and through his influence there was established the Cham­ ber of Notables, This is composed of seventy- five chiefs*or leaders chosen from among the wealthier natives, and its establishment" was proclaimed as the first step toward constitu­ tional government the claimants ignoring the fact that the Board of Control bad given the country the first semblance of constitutional government it had experienced. The Chamber of Notables, selected by the army, or under the influence of the army, be­ came the creature of the War Minister, aud soon came in conflict with the Khedivo and the Controllers General. This conflict ripened into open rebellion On the part of Arabi's followers, and the Khedive was held for a time virtually a prisoner. England and Franoe primarily, and Germmy, Austria and Russia in an incidental way, were under obligations to stand by the Khedive and the Controllers General, and very early in the agitation England made the demand tliat Arabi Bey be retired and the statu quo re-established. Thei Khedive was powerless, and could not comply with the demand. Turkey put forward her claim to intervene in such cases undersold treaties, and negotiations were opened making the matter of settlement a European question. In the meantime Arabi Bey was encouraged in bis attitude of hostility by agents representing the jealousies of the several nations and the bear interest in bonds, and for weeks the question was given au artificial color through the manip­ ulation of speculators. England, having made the demand that the Khedive and the Controllers General should be re-established in full authority, prepared quietly to stand by it, and, after a conference at Gonstantino(]jtt^^s representatives of the powers decideSmHt, under certain con­ tingencies, England should take the in­ itiative in armed intervention. Arabi Bey was ordered to suspend work on the Alexandria fortifications, this work, with the fleets of Eu­ rope in the harbor, being an act of hostility. He did not comply, and at the expiration of twenty-four hours' notice the fleet opened fire on the forts with the results noted in the dis­ patches. In this action England represents Europe, and there is no chance for misunderstanding on this point But on the question of how far she may proceed after bombardment there is chance for misunderstanding at every step, and there ie a possibility of half of Europe becoming in­ volved m the trouble. GCITEAU'S BONES. [Washiugtou Telegram.] It seems difficult to banish the word Ouiteau from the dispatches. His bones are daily bleaching in the sun, but the doctors' quarrels have not ended, and the jail guards, laughing in their sleeves at human incredulity, point out the spot beneath the Warden's room, where it is supposed that the assassin lies buried. It was not until yesterday that the jail physician discovered that he had been made the victim of a prim practical joke by the jail guards, because he had poured large quantities of carbolic acid over the spot where he thought Guiteau lay buried, to overcome the noisome odor of what he now knows was a rat long dead, placed there by tho jesting guard. Guiteau's bones are being bleached, prelim­ inary to being "articulated/' as the dec tors call it, in a skeleton. This is the way in which the local papers say it is being done : For sev­ eral days the huge boiler in the baeii bu lding of the Museum has been seething and bubbling. In it was Guiteau's body. On Saturday morn­ ing about 9:30 the process of boiling and ma­ ceration was completed, and the bones of the assassin were removed with tongs from the pot and scraped carefully, to divest them of every j particle of flesh. They were then steeped in | ether, to remove any fat that might have clung to them, and placed in a stout cauvas bag, in which they were taken to the roof. The large j bones were then spread out upon the roof. < The little ones were placed in small boxes, to insure against the possibility of their bekig lost, and the process of •bleacning commenced. At night the bones were gathered up and taken inside the building by the colored man who has charge of them, wnere they were placed in a bleaching fluid. : Yesterday morning they were taken out and again placed upon the roof, and this process will be continued for a couple of weeks, when the skeleton will be articulated and "placed in a I case which has been prepared for it j • AN ARKANSAS HORROR. | A RuiMlntr struck by Lightning | Fatl» (Jpon a Saloon, Killing Twen- j ty-Iivc o* Thirty men. j During the progress of a heavy thunder j storm at Texarkaua, ATk., lightning struck a j new three-story brick dwelling, Shattering the walls, which, toppling over upon an adjoining j saloon, crushed it to atoms, burying in the ruins i between fifty and sixty people, many of whom 1 had taken temporary refuge therein from the storm.

The lights in the crushed structure set tire to the debris, and the peril of a widespread conflagration and consequent cremation of scores of dying and suffering unfortunates was added to the horrors of the scene. By the herculean efforts of citizens the flames were extinguished, not, how- eve.-, until two or three buildings had been de­ stroyed. The work of searching for the bjdies of the killed and wounded was commenced as quickly as possible. A great crowd gathered around tho crushed buildings, the town being in mourning and business almost entirely sus­ pended. About thirty dead bodies were taken irom the ruins. I The dead, when found, presented a sickening eight. The bodies were generally mangled, charred* and crushed. The friends of the slam, as they recognized the dead, made the air ring with cries of agony, and the scene was i affecting and heartrending in the extreme. j THE most important part of every business is to know what ought to be done.--Columella.

A man may be seen on our streets daily drawing logs who has only one arm, and upon that only the forefinger aud thumb of the hand. In some way he manages to swing up under & wagon heavy, hard-wood logs, fastening the | chains and doing work that ordinary men find difficult to do alone. This man is a good joiner, and makes better butter tubs and cooper's ware than anybody in his vicinity. His injury was received many years ago by the premature dis­ charge of a cannon on a Fourth of July. --Barton ( Vt) Monitor. RAILROAD PROGRESS 1ST 1881. An Increase ef 11.142 ntlea, making (lie TotaJ In tbe United SUUMSttlM End of 1SS1,104,813. From the forthcoming volume of "Poor's Railroad Manual of tbe United States," which has conic to be acknowledged as an authority on such statistics, the following synopsis of its prefatory statement of the general fads of raihoad progrees in the United States during the year 1881 is made: The year 1881 has been one of extraordinary actl\ ity in railroad affairs. Within the yea? 9,358 miles of railroad have been built, the greatest number for any one year. The great- tst mileage for any previous year was 7,379 miles, in 1871. Tho total miles in operation at the end of 1881 was 104,813, temg au increase of 11.142 miles over the previous year. The coat, at $25,000 per mile, of the lines constituted during th" year was $233,750,000. In addition, at least $75,000,000 were expended on lines in progress, and 8100,000,000, which is at the rate of only $1,000 jx r mile, on old roads, in improving th< ir tracks, in building new stations, and in adding to their equipments. The total amount expended in construction during the past year was, in round numbers, $41/0,000,000. It now seems probable that tiie mileage to be opened in 1882 will equal that for 1881. Up to the 1st of June, 1882, 3.677 miles oi line were opened, against 1,734 for the same period in 1881. The same rate of increase will not be maintained for tbe remainder of the year, but the aggrgate for it of new mileage is not hkely to be much short of 10,000 miles. The earnings of all the roads m operation in tbe country the past year equaled $725,325,119, being an increase over the previous year of $110,000,000, the rate of increase being nearly 16 per cent The earnings equaled $13.60 per bead of our population. Their net earnings were $276,654,119, an increase of $24,500,000 over those for 1880. Their current expenses $449,565,071. The amount of interest paid during the year on their funded debt* was $128^- 887,002; the amount paid in dividends was $93,342,200, against $77,115,411 for 1880. The cost of operating our railroads for the year was $449,565,071, or 62 per cent of their gross earnings. The total amount expended in their construction of new lines and in oper­ ating and improving the old ones was over $750,000,000--the greater part of this vast sum being paid in wages. Tbe number of persons employed in operating them the past year aver­ aged fully twelve to the mile of operated line, or 1,200.000 «n alL The number employed in the construction of our railroads equaled 400,- 000, increasing the total number of employes to 1,600,000, or about one-thirty-necond part of our population, estimated at 53.200,000. Tbe tonnage transported on all the railroads in the country in 1881 cannot have been less than 3,500 tons to the mile, or 350,000,000 tons. At an assumed value of $60 per ton, the value of the tonnage moved on all the railroads of. the United States the past year, less one-third for duplication, was, say, $12,000,000,000, or more than $200 per head of the whole popula­ tion. The gross earnings for the New England States were $52,88n.809, against $48,755,609 for 1880, $41,329,825 for lb79, and $41,26 ),203 for 1878.

The Infant's Dreams. In her book on Heinrich Heine, the Princess Delia Boeca relates the follow­ ing anecdote of the poet: One hot summer afternoon Heine (no mention is made of his age) had been working in his room very assiduously. It was a sultry day and he laid down his pen. Lost in thought he approached the window and looked out. Suddenly the idea struck him to climb on the ledge and to stretch himself lengthwise on the narrow stone. Overcome by the heat he fell asleep. Passers by, horrified, ran to inform his mother. Mattresses and pillows were hastily placed in the street below the window, momentarily the ohild was expected to fall. To wake him seemed hazardous. The inmates of the house feared to enter the room lest the noise of the cracking door should cause him to movp. Below the horror-struck spectators watched him, the Koman Catholics in the crowd crossing them­ selves. Now he is seen to move his head-- the mother, scarcely able to control her­ self, takes off her shoes, creeps up the stairs, cautiously opens the door, steals to the window--the crowd below hold­ ing its breath--ani successfully draws the boy inside the wjndcrw. Below the people shout, "Hurrah for Madame Heine!"--but the boy tells her that he had dreams of angels, and birds that sung pretty melodies to him in his sleep, to which he intended to write the words. - A REMNANT of the once powerful Pe- quot race still maintains 9 tribal organ­ ization in Connecticut. Schaghticoke, tho ancient stat of this people, is situat­ ed in the town of Kent, under the Schaghticoke mountain, in the middle of the valley of Housatonic. Schaghti­ coke now consists of six little, brown, clapboarded, one-story houses, tenanted by some seventeen persons, and the whole tribe numbers about fifty. The reservation of 300 acres comprises Schaghticoke mouutain, valuable only for timber. Vinnie, the aged Queen of the tribe, is nearly white, earns lier liv - , ing by basket-making, and is a member of the nearest Congregational church. THE subject of kleptomariia is again reoeiving.considerable discussion. Not many years ago a gentleman farmer of New Jersey entered a store and said to the proprietor, "I wish that my wife should do all her shopping for dry goods ih one place. She will steal everything that sne fancies. If you will please watch her, charge the goods and let me have the bill once a week I will pay it, and, instead of disgracing us by arrest, vou will win the thanks of a heart­ broken man. Half the time she doesn't know where she got the goods, and otherwise she is sane and lovely." v . ^ * v ^ ** Diet a& inMsaA To my EngW^^M, accustomed as I j am to plenty oHffidi meat, a Dutch dial seems sadly insufficient on which to con­ duct the business of life; in fact, bread and butter and sweets, and tea or coffee four times a day, meat apd wine but : once. As to the popular belief that th* Dutch are a Jhard-drjMj^big, schnapps-- taking nation, it is unKjJnoed. You see very little drunkenness'among the poor; they are, in truth, too poor for it, and 1 never met any one who even knew the taste of schnapps. Certainly the men. of the upper classes do not supplement their poor diet by strong drinks. A « glass or two of claret or Rhine wine at dinner is all they take, and sometimes at " night a little brandy or Geneva. There ' may be some Mynheer von Dunks, and on festive occasions, as at kermes or fairs, there may be revelry, but as a rule the people are temperate. I may, | in conclusion, mention that ou fete days i they make what is called avokaat, and | is, in fact, a thin custard, strongly fla­ vored with brandy. It is mode in a II large bowl and ladled out iuto the | liqueur-glasses, in which it is served te , all who attend the afternoon reception 1 of the person whose fete day it is. The * future felicitation of the holder of th& reception is wished before drinking. A ' fete day may be a birthday, betrothal, christening; copper, silver or golden wedding; or to celebrate the fact that a. gentleman has been a certain number of years in one appointment--say profess­ ors, clergymen or. indeed uny other- prominent offioial position. -- Leisure Hour. Ballooning. The first balloon was gent np on the 6th of June, 1783, by the brothers Montgolfier. Their balloon was inflated with heated air, but in the following August M. Charles employed hydrogen for the same purpose. In September the Montgolfiers attached a card to a fire balloon and placed in it the first serial, travelers--a sheep, a cock and a duck. The cook's leg was broken by a kick from the sheep, but otherwise the strangely-assorted trio sustained no in­ jury. In October the first human aero­ naut, M. Francois Pilatre de Rozier,who was afterward killed in an attempt to cross from France to England, made his first ascent in a " captive " fire balloon, tethered to the ground by ropes. In the following months, accompanied by the Marquis d'Arlandes, De Bozier ascended in a free fire balloon ; and ten days after MM. Charles and Robert ascended in a free balloon inflated with hydrogen gas. The first balloon was sent up from En­ gland about the same time, and in Feb­ ruary, 1784, the first which crossed the channel, while in August of the same year the first human ascent from British ground was made by Mr. Tyler. Thirty- seven years elapsed before there was any definite advance on the achieve­ ments of the first two years of aeronaut­ ics ; but in 1821 Mr. Green showed that hydrogen might be replaced by coal gas, and that a balloon might be inflated and dispatched wherever there was a gas manufactory capable of supplying tiie necessary quantity.--London Times. THE keeper of a matrimonial bureau in New York makes some astonishing remarks born of his experience in Hia delightful business. The men, most of them, want money and lots of it; the women are not so particular about that, except widows. Widows are always after money. Generally all the women care for is to get married. They are not even very squeamish about the good looks or the contrary of the man. Brunettes are more in demand than 4 blondes. Blonde girls have a fe^fcfir-W tion of being insipid. Ladies do not like a big mustache. They prefer just a little one. They think it neater.

He had presented her with a service of plate one morning so enthusiastically that most of them were smashed ; which led the neighbors to think that he was breaking np house­ keeping. ' THREE acres of land on which was a grove of trees, at Bellaire, Ohio, slipped into a valley. The trees retained their perpendicular position, and the grove seems to be thriving in its new situa­ tion. 1 THE MARKETS. MEW YORK.
