The Field of Tel-el* KeMrâ€" A Blile of Dead â€" AraM Fired «tâ€" Tbe Highlanders ia Actionâ€" Another Conference. Re£;arding the Egyptian loss in Wedneii- day's engagement no computation approach- ing accuracy has yet been made, but includ- ing what has been accounted for by the caval- ry, it cannot be short of 2,500 to 3,000. In several places the bodies of the Egyptians were lying in heaps ot 30 to 50, and they lay in dense rows where the 42nd, getting in flank, enfiladed Arabi's lines while they were holding the position against the attack in front. The dead extended for over a mile behind the position as our pur- suing troops fired after the mass of fugitives. Altogether the field at Tel-el-Kebir presents a terribly ghastly sight In many instances ths wounded Arabs fired upon the English after they had passed. There were lament- able casualties on the enemy's side even OLD MEN ASD CHILDREN WERE KILLED. This was unavoidable, owing to the fact that the Egyptians kept up a straggling fire from the mud huts. Sufficient tinned provisions for 2,000 men for one month were captured. Fifty guns have fallen into the hands of the British. The chief of the commissariat, a prisoner, states tkat rations wore issued on the day before the battle for 15,000 regular troops and 7,000 irregulars. The Herald's correspondent writes â€" A ride over the field after the battle shows that the enemy's loss was extremely heavy indeed it is difficult to understand how so great a number of men have been killed in the battle, which lasted but a brief hour. The enemy's position consisted of lines of s^lid entrenchments bound 'together by wattles. It was four miles long from flank to flank. At intervals bastions mounted by guns protected the front, and there were suoces-jive SERIVS OF DEEP TRENCHES. At right angles to the extreme left of their position a deep trench extends two miles to the r ;ar, behiud which is another entrench- ment, forming a defence of the front line from attack on the flank towards the canal. On the right were very strong works. The iiatural irregularities of the ground consti- tuted a very formidable position, which â- would have coat great expenditure of life iiad it been attacked in front. This part of the line, however, was avoided and our at- tacks were directed towards the flanks. All who accompanied the Highland brigade were enthusiastic at the brilliant character of their advance. Their orders were to inarch up to the first trench and carrj- it by the bay*iiet WITHOUT FIRINC A SHOT. This Older w s literally executed. After their conduct on preceding occasions, it was expecteA that the Egyptians would not stop to oppose the determined rush, but hundreds remained at their posts, and were bavonetted where they stood. As Eoon as the trench was won, the Highlanders were assailed from the strong river line command- ing the trench which had been carried, but cheering loudly they pressed iorward,- carrying one redoubt after another, shoo'.ug and bayonetting the foe as bhey ran. At one point only was the advance checked for a moment, but the first line was rem- forced from behind, and with another cheer they swept on again, AND CLEARED THE ESEMV from before them. At some of the basticn?, the resistance, although unavaihng, was desperate, the Egyptians being caught as m a trap by the rapidity of the advance, de- fending themselves to the last. At these points the Egyptians lie dead in hundreds, while only here and there a Highlander lies stretched among them, lying face down- wards, as if shot in the act of charging. Had the Egvptians fired any way accurate- ly the losses must have been tremendous as it is they arc marvelously slight when the nature of the works carried and the number of the defenders is considered. Roubi Pasha says Arabi when the attaek on Tel-el-Kebir commenced, was panic- stricken at its suddenness. Obeyd Fasha was killed in battle. c ^, According to the correspondent of the Dailu Chronicle, Arabi was seen riding by the village of Belbeis from the disaster at I'el-el-Kebir attended by only twenty horse- men. The fugitive rebel leader as he dash- ed past wav d HIS SWORD RED W ITH BLO^tD, appealing to the natives with the cry, •'Egypt is ruined.' His cause is every- where considered as hopeless. Twelve hundred prisoners and twenty- seven Egyptian officers have been r.arched back to Ismailia from Tel-el-Kebir. After the arrival of the Khedive at Cairo a regu- larly constituted court will be established for the public trial of the rebel chiefs, who will be allowed to engage conned. Arabi Pasha was taken before the Khe- dive. He presented a loathsome PICTURE OF GROVELLING SERVILITY. He swore that he was not aware he was fighting against the Khedive. The Khe- dive remained standing while Arabi was in his presence, and wheii Arabi had conclud- ed the Khedive ordered his removal. Egyptian doctors state that when Arabi was making off to Zagazig he was fired at by one of his own officers. Mahmound Baroudi and Suleiman Sami, who commancTed a battalion which took a leading part in the burning of Alexandria, have fled to Upper Egypt. The engineers report Kafr-el-Dwar aban- doned. They saw many skeletons there. Abookir forts.

Telegrams from the Governor of ^cn-qt* el-Assel to the Governor of Zagazis order- ing the latter to cut the canal and B6od the country have been intercepted. • The Egyptian guns at Kafr-el-Dwar were dieverly concealed. Four were as Uurge; if not larger, than the British guns. The gar- rison consisted of Arabi's best troops, the Tel-e!-Kebir lot being recruits of NOT MOBK THAN TWJSNTY IaYS* SMlVIck. The Egyptian negro troops crossed bay- onets with the Highlanders and Irish regi- ments yesterday. The accuracy with^hich the Highland brigade came into line, after a seven miles march, on a moonless night, in the desert sand, guided only by stars, and stormed the entrenchments and redoubts yesterday, has never been surpassed history. m AMONG OUK EXCBANGZS. The man who " broke the noose gently ' got a divorce in Indiana. After a man has been hugged nearly to death by sin he turns around and embraces religion." "Keep off the giass" is a corporation way of interdicting a certain class of duelling it forbids the public to cross swards It is a singular freak which ladies have that of making their new bonnets match everything but their husband's pocket- books. Tourists are sometimes suggestive. 'Why, a donkey couldn't climb that hill," said one of them and then he added, "and I'm not going to try it." So much spiing water is toted about at Saratoga that a fellow may be seen there with a bottle under his arm and not lose his character. " You are accused of being a chronic thief. What excuse have you got " " None, boss, 'ceptin' chronic poverty," replied the Austin colored vagrant. " Look out for ten-dollar bills on the Bank," says an exchange. Of course we will been looking out for ten-dollar bills for a long time, but they do not come along. " Wealth," .says Henry Ward Beecher, " is sure to take wings and fly away." Yes, Henry, that is so. One day we have thirty- five cents and the next day we are dead broke. But, such is life. Just think of it. Arabi Bey took to him- self a third wife only a day or two ago. We have no sympathy with a man who flies in the face of Providence so recklessly. He must be an awful fighter to want a third wife. Says the Philadelphia ATeiffs "Mary An- derson has been out sailing in her new yacht. She is very handsome, decidedly fast, has all the modern improvements, and plenty of room on deck." We presume the Newn re- fers to the yacht. Where ignorance is bliss A number of Baltimoreans caught in an unlicensed beer saloon swore that they did not know what they were drinking. A good many Boston beer consumers could truthfully subscribe to the same declaration. Just exactly what a woman wants a watch for is not quite certain. The chain is the only part of the arrangement she over wears. The watch itself is "run down," mainspring broke, and tucked away iu the dressing-case most of the time. A woman and a Watch are incompatible. It is quite the idea this season for a young lady to artistically decorate a little fan and present it to her best gentleman friend. This doesn't signify " There is a coolness be- tween us," as might be supposed. It is a hint for the young man to fan the flame with more ardor. "What is a yacht " we inquired of a long, gaunt codder, who was lounging about the wharf. " What is a yot?" said the fisher- man " well, you gets any sort of a craft you please, and fill her up with liquor and seeygars, and get yer frens on board and have a high old time and that's a yot." "I see," said old Mrs. Anchovy, "that they are making car wheels out of paper. What do you suppose that's tor, Mrs. Birds- eye " "That oh, I've no doubt they are getting scared about so many people being run ov^r and cut in two endwise and are trying to get some kind of stuff that ain't so dangerous." Arithmetical progression County Court Judge (to defendant) â€" "The case seems clear to me, and having had the goods you must pay the amount claimed. Now, how much can you pay t Can you manage four shillings a month " Defendant (a poor man, certain- ly) â€" "Me, sir Four shilling a month No, certainly not but I don't mind paying two shillings a week!" Love at the seashore: "Oh, Harold," said she, as she clung close to his arm, "how very quiet and restful the sea seems to be this evening." "Just as I would like awife to be, " was the response. "And would you, as a husband, be the quiet, restful comple- ment of such a wife?" He thought he could, and the launch into the sea of matr'monial difficulties was thus quietly made. There's sure to be a gale however. The Newest Rain Theory. A correspondent of an agricultural paper starts a curious theory in regard to wet summers. He has noted that after a great battle rain has fallen in heax-y showers with- in twenty-four hours, and he suspects that we artificially and unintentionally mcrease our rainfall. He goes on to say â€" " If a bird's-eye view of England could be taken any Saturday afternoon or evening during our summer months, the whole coast line at intervals would appear to be dotted with puffs of smoke, the breath of the big guns our artillery volunteers practice with. Now, if taken in the aggregate, the number and weight of these guns would, I. think, far exceed in these respects anything that re- cent battles have brought together, and though the effect is of course diminished by the guns being wide scattered, yet for the same reason the area affected is increas- ed in an inverse ratio."

John Maclnl 'y, the engineer of the steam shovel machine at work on the Canada At- lantic Railway near Ottawa, was injured by a boiler explosion a day or two ago and died on Wednesday. The Quebec Garrison Artillery mustered at the armoury and afterwards proceeded to Levis, where they went into camp. Several rural battalions also arrived and joined the camp. James, Thomas and Jo' n F. Keefe and John Kent appeared 1efore Squire Stanley at Lucan to answer the charge of shooting M. Toohey in the late Biddulph unpleasantness. The quartette were sent for trial. It seems that a large portion of the town of Levis is built upon the Jesuit's estate pro- pferty, for the restoration of which through- out the Province a regular claim is confident- ly expected to be set up shortly. The Montreal Harbour Commissioners show an increased revenue for the month of August over the same month of last year of $3,000, and of tonnage by 8,299 tons. For the season the decrease is about 3 per cent. A shocking tatal accident occurred at Quebec. A young man named Coi^telow, son of a Government contractor of that name, fell to the street below from the dome of a two-storey house, on which he was working, and was instantly killed. On Thursday, at Chatham, a man named Green fell from a scaffold on R. 0. Smith's new building. His leg was broken in two places several ribs were broken and he was injured internally. He is still alive, but no hopes of h's recovery are entertained. Considerable opposition was manifested at Montreal to the Canada Pacific Railway be- ing allowed to take up St. Louis, Champ de Mars, and other streets with their proposed railway depot. It is believed that they will carry the scheme to completion notwith- standing the opposition made.

The fire was the work of an incendiary. The American canal boat Eirl Skinner, from Hoboken, with coal to Messrs. Bennett Co., has been seized by the custom au- thorities at Quebec for some infraction of the customs regulations. It seems some of the vessel's cargo was 'sold on the passage down, and no report of the transaction was made at the custom house. At Teeswater, on Thursday, as a little girl aged 7, daughter of John E. Kennedy, was crossing the river on a plank, she was blown off by a sudden gust ol wind, falling a distance of about twenty feet and striking on the stone work below. Her face and head were badly cut and one arm shockingly mangled. She will likely recover. A digraceful affair happened at Jones Falls, near Kingston, at the woke of a man. Some got to betting en the weight of the corpse. To prove which was right they took the corpse out of the coffin an 1 carried it a quarter of a mile to a hotel where it could be weighed. Thence they went to a spring, gave the corpse a drink of water, and tried to pour whiskey down the throat, Frances A. Smith, the daughter of the late Major Hiram B. Mills, has come out in public with a statement over her own signa- ture, in which she recapitulated the iitory originally published. She insists that she has a claim upon her father's estate, and has documents with hf r to prove it. These she has handed over to Messrs. Abbott, Tait k Abbott, Montreal, who have her case in hand. An item for the household says, " If the water in which new cabbage is boiled is chuiged once or twice it will be lesi likely to be indigestible." Perhaps it will, and per- sons who are in the habit of drinking water in which new cabbage is boiled should heed the suggestion but as long as water is so cheap we shall continue to take ours raw.â€" Norrigtown Herald.

They believed that the ships were sailing down an inclined slope, and that to return would be impossible, since it b'ew always from home. There was little to do in the way of trimming sail^, for they sailed almost on a parallel of latitude from the Canaries to the Bahamas. Their severest labor was in pumping out the leaky ships. The young adventurers re- mained listlessly on deck, or played the then fashionable game of jy^^^^"*^^^) ^^^ beard incredulously the daily reports told by Co'umbus ot the rat6 of sailing. They TTOuld have been still more incredulous had Ihey know the truth. "They sighed and wept," Herrera savs, " and every hour eeemed like a year." The same Spanish annalist compares Columbus to St. Christopher iu the legend bearing the infant Christ across tiie st eam on his shoulders and the explorer has ften being painted in that character in those days. But the weight that Columbus had to bear up was a wearisome and unworthy load. Sometimes they plotted to throw him overboard by a manoeuvre {con dis- imulacion, Herrera says), intending to say that he fell in while star-gazing. But he according to Peter Martyr, dealt with them now by winning words, now by encourag- ing their hopes (blandin modo mrbis, am- plot, spe modo). IJ they thought they saw land, he encouraged them to sing an an- them when it proved to be but a cloud, he held out the hope of land to-morrow. They had sailed August 3, 1492, and when they had beenout two months (October 3), he refused to beat about in search of land, though he thought they were- near it, but he would press straight through to the Indies. Sometimes there came a contrary wind, and Co'umbus was cheered by it, for would convince his men that the wind did not always blow one way, and that by patiefnt waiting they could yet re- turn to Spain. As the days went on the signs of land increased, but very slowly. When wo think of the intense impatience of the pass- engers on an ocean steamer after they have been ten long days on the water, even taough they know precisely where they are, and where they are going, and that they are drivea by mechanical forces stronger than winds and waves, we can im- agine something of the feelings of Colum- bus and his crew as the third month wore on. Still there was no sign ot hope but a pelican to-day and a crab to-morrow or 3 drizzling rain without wind â€" a combination which was supposed to indicate nearness to the land. There has scarcely been a moment in the history of the race more full of solemn consequences than that evening hour when, after finding a carved stick and a hawthorn branch, Columbus watched from the deck in the momentary expectation of some glimpse of land. The first shore light is a signal of success and triumph to sailors who cross the A tlantic every three weeks. What then was it to the patient commander who was looking for the first gleam from an unknown world ?â€" T. W. Higginson, in Har2)er's Magazine for October. Health Item. About a year ago the smallpox pr3vailed to some extent in Austin, and there were great apprehensions at the time of the dread disease becoming epidemic. It was during this excitement that a sad-eyed colored man entered a pawnbroker arena on Austin Avenue with a blanket under his arm, which he offered as collateral security for a temporary loan of a dollar. The con- tracting parties disagreed on financial issues, the pawnbroker asserting with con- siderable positivcness, that he was inviting financial ruin to take possession of him if he advanced more than a slick quarter on the blanket, while the negro stated if the times were not so panicky, five dollars would be no inducement for him to part with the* blanket. " Why, you are out of your mini,' laid the pawnbroker, running his arm through a ho e m the bhmket. "It was not worth three dollars when it was new. " "I know dat, boss, but i hates to part wid dat blanket on account ob de tender recoU- ecshuns connected with it."

Another romantic tradition has been re- futed, another thrillinsr illusion dispelled, by Dr. Otto Kuntz's discovery that the lethal capacities of Pakaraman, the renowned Ja vanese Death Valley, are as utterly fabulous as the Norwegian Kraaken or Richard of Glouc-ester hump. It is no longpr permitted to us to believe that the effects of the sub- tle poison given off by the " Deadly Upas Tree" have bestrewn that difmal vale witl; countless carcasses of savage beasts, serpents, and birds, or that a certain death awaits any foolhardy traveller attempting to cross it; for the eminent German explorer has paid Pakamaran an exhaustive visit, and re- ports it to be as healthy as any other part of che island. In the way ot corpses he did not see so much as a dead fly within its pre- cincts. He describes it as a small circular depression in a gorge of the Dieng moun- tains, about seven square meters in size.and forlorn of vegetation. It is approached by two footpaths, winding downwards from the hills by which it is surrounded. By one of these paths Dr. Kuntze entered the death valley, despite the entreaties of his guides and servants, one ot whom repeated- ly strove to hold him back by force, and, having traversed Pakamaran in every direc- tion, quitted it by the other path. The na- tives had assured him that he would find the valley choked up by skeletons, as even the swiftest birds flying above it V^ould drop down sfccoie-dead, slain by its poisonous ex- halations.
