AN EGYPTIAN MIAD-HOUSE. @ Veritable Chamber of Horrors and Hotbed ef Cholera. A frightful description of a visit toan Egyptian fmad-house is given by the Cairo correspondent Of the Exyptian Gazette: “It was quite by chance,” he says, “that I visited this veritable pandemonium on earth last Sunday morning. I had a little time to spare on my hands before lunch, and so I ex- pressed a desire to fathom the mystery of those four blank red walls, which stand away in the desert, tv the right of the Abbasseeyeh road, in the direction of the last slopes of the Mokat- tam Hill. Grave suspicions were entestained by many that the government lunatic asylum at Abbassevyeh was a hotbed of cholera. and t the existence of the disease within its walls was being concealed. We are ushered through a deep, dismal arenway into the recreation ground ‘of the asylum, where the mad people were wan- dering about in a solitary, purposeless way. Turning to the left beneath an arcaite we en- tered a dark doorway, Just as tie last of a herd Of idiots had been driven in before us. We took ten or iifteen strides along a somber passage, and on reaching the wall made a quarter turn to the right and stood facing a long iofty curridor | lighted only bya few small windows aear the | Ceiling, secured by iron bars. ug this corrklor, at the base of the wall t hand, the lunatics sat squatted on anches in a long and almost intermi To all appearance they were a quiet, ive, miserable-looking lot of creatures. iothed in sackeloth.

The bedsteads were similar to those In nse in | the native hospitals and barracks—iron frames | and planks. The bedding and bedclothes were | filthy in the extreme and swarming with vermin. Each room was crowded with beds placed about an arm's length from each other. The stench Was Intolerable, doth in the apartments and the | corridors. No regard was paid even to the most elementary notions of cleanliness. th we reached what I can only describe | asthe chamber of horrors; the apartment in In whicii refractory patients were mastered and treated. It was a lofty, spacious room with plenty of light. Here a most horrible sight greeted us. All reund the walls, at regular dis- tances of about six feet, we: commencing at the ground and extending to a height of about two feet six inches. The ex- tremities of a curved iron bar were firmly fixed in the masonry on either side of each cavity. The purpose of this arranzement was as tollows: When a man became violent he was placed with his legs bound and with his back against the fron bar. ina sitting posture, his arms being firmly inshed to it. The eavity in the wall was supposed to prevent btm injuring his head by wi it backwards and forwards or by dash- ing it from side to side against the masonry. ‘As we entered this veritable torture-chamber the first thing that met our gaze was a recum- bent ticure surrounded by three or four attend- ants. Upon @ machine bearing a close resemblance to a ng machine on the bascule princi On chine was seated a patient with the back hea: against the padding and his legs ex- tended toward us. The three orfour attendants by whom he was surrounded were engaged in binding his arms to rings fixed behind the back part of the machine. The left side of this Wretched being’s head, at the height of theeyes, ‘Was covered with biood and his left eye was al- Most closed. all the part surrounding it being much swollen and inflamed. Whuile the attend- | ants were engaged in tying him up, he was Sobbing, the tears streaming down his cheeks, and he rocked his head gently from side to side, as if in pain, occasionaily glancing toward us While we stoud gazing at the horrible sight he | did not attempt to offer the least resistance. Of | » the injury which he had sustained self-inflicted, but it is equally likely, | think. he had been knocked down by one of the keepers. The appearance of this prison was filthy in the extreme. The stench was insufferable. The kitchen, which was close at hand,was a gloomy, Girty sort of place. The women's quarters were even worse than those of the men. They were very crowded, and their generally filthy condi- tion is beyond description. Many of the women ‘Were hysterical. and two of them were naked. | In the last room but one, a dark, disinallook- fog chamber, with only the doorway to admit light and ventilation, in a dungeon, for it was Bothing else, without a single article of farni- ture ef any kind, two wretched women were lying on planks on the bare stones. The hands of one of them were quite cold, and she had the appearance of being attacked with cholera ina most virulent form. The other Woman was lying at the extreme endof the apartment, but my military friend being unable to stand the stench any longer we did not ex- amine her. The persons who accompanied us {nour visit did all they could to prevent us entering this particular room. The Abbassee- Yeh madhouse contains, | was assured by the Gentle:nan who was kind enough to show us over the infamous establishment, nearly 300 Tunatics, about eighty ef whom are women and one or two children, and there is no classfica- tion In it whatever except in the case of males and females. Those "who ure violently mad and those only”partially so are herded indiscrim- {nately together. It seems that the only remedy that is found efficacious in cases of Violeat madness is the shower bath. & THE GROTTO OF LORETO. ‘he Legends of the House of Nazareth, Which Was Discovered by Empress Helena From the New York Post. It was the Empress Helena, mother of Con- Stantine the Great, who discovered the Santa Casa, as well as the true cross, in her famous pilgrim: to the sacred places of Palestine. She identified the house at Nazareth partly by its narrowness and meager appointments, but ehlefly by a certain holy dread that it inspired. She caused a basilica to be built over it, and in- scribed upon the facade: “He est arain qua primo jactum est hue salutus fundamen- tun.” The basilica was visited aud revered by uneounted thousands. until its destruction in thetinal conquest of Palestine by the Saracens. The sacred house, however, was not allowed to Perish with its enclosing stirine. In the ‘night of the 10th of May, 1291, it was borne by angels | to aspot In Dalmatia’ between Tersatto and Fiume, where its divine origin was imme- diately recognized (1) by a statue of the Virgin and child and a painted crucifix, both done by St. Luke; (2 an altar at which St. Peter had said mass; (3) various relics of the Holy Family and of more recent plety; (4) by the e nameless dread that had convinced the impress Helena; and (5) by the fact that, un- supported by any foundation, it still stood firm @nd levei on uneven ground. The identity of the house was finally established by a commis- sion. which went to Palestine, and found by carefui measurements that the original tounda- tions tallied exactly with the dimensions of the structure In Dalmatia. Itis said that Tersatto attracted large number of pilgrims, and that the value of their Pious offerings was great; yet after about three Years it was concluded, we are not told by whom, that the housé might be even better ) wr On the night of the 10th of December, 29, the angels again took up their sacred burden and deposited it in a wood not far from the present Loreto. The wonders and verifi- cations of Tersatto were repeated. but the site ‘was even worse chosen than before. The riches of the pilgrims attracted robbers, who murdered and jllazed with impunity under the protecting ughs of the wood. A third miraculous trans- lation to the top ofa neighboring niil resulted in a deadly feud between two brothers, joint owners of the land. and was followed by a fourth translation, which, till now, has proved final. The angels must have been sadly pted to make a fifth removal when the Frenth svldiery, in 1797, stripped the sacred heuse of the plates Of cold with which it had been lined, and de- Spolled the treasury of inestimable riches. Bunt the wisdom of their reserve has been well Proved. as the generosity of the faithful in this Century lias already made up in great measure for the losses of the past, : —— e's.

A Man’s Desperate Attempt to Take His Daughter from Her Foster Mother. From the New York Herald. An attempt to abduct a child and a desperate fight to retain it caused intense excitement in a fashionable quarter of Bergen, Jersey City, Sunday afternoon. Budderrow place consists of nine handsome brown stone front dwellings on Sumuilt avenue, near Montgomery street. One of the houses is occupied by John Dona- hue, a partner ina wealthy firm in Cleveland, Ohiv. Herepreseats the interests which the concern has in this city and neighborhood. He has a wife and a foster child, a bright and girl, about two and a haif years old. The the daughter of Mrs. Donahue's sister, | Mrs. Henry Quartley. Two years ago, when Mrs. Quartley was ill and not expected to live, she gave her infant to her sister, with her husband’s consent, as he had two other children and could not or would not proxide for them. Mrs. Quart- ley recovered, and has several times said that she was delighted that her child had found a coinfortable home with kind relatives. The lit- tle one’s foster parents are devotedly attached to her. The first intimation that Mrs. Donahue | had that the parents of the child intended re- gaining possession of her adopted daughter was on Saturday, when her sister, Mrs. Quartiey,was + Seen several thnes during the afternoon in the neighborhood of the house, but she did not cail upon Mrs. Donahue. No effort was made by her to take the child away, but her actions awakened suspicion. THE ABDUCTION. Opposite Rudderrow place Is a large dwelling stands in the center of a handsomely decorated plot of ground. Mrs. Donahue, with her adopted daughter, was looking at the lawn and shrubbery in this place yesterday aiternoon. Their backs were turned to their own home. Mr. James Crandell was standing on the stoop of his residence, which adjoins that of Mr. Donahue, when he saw a man stealing on Mr. Crandell watched him as he was moving directly toward y Donahue and the Child. The tellow, unob- served by them, stole up until he was directly behind Mrs. Donahue. Then he quickly stooped and looked in the child’s face, evidently to make certain that it was the child he was seeking. In a second the litttle girl was in his arms and he darted toward Montgomery street. Mr. Crandell was after him before Mrs. Donahue could give any alarm. As the man turned into Montgomery street Mr. Crandell was close at his heels. The fugitive turned and threatened to kill his pursuer and made a motion asif to draw apistol. . Mr. Crandell hesitated for a moment, but quickly resumed the pursuit, and was rapidly overtaking the fellow, when he again stopped and turned and, repeating his threat, showed his revolver. A STRUGGLE FOR THE CHILD. Mr. Crandell closed with the fellow, who drew his pistol and would have used it but for the timely arrival of Bridget Murphy, one of Mra. Donahue’s servants. Sheis a powertul young woman, and before the child stealer was aware of her approach she had jumped on his back, and, clasping her arms tightly about him, held him until Mr. Crandell went to her aid. They threw the man on his back, but he fought des- perately, and with his left arm held the child while he tried to use his revolver. Mr. Cran- dell had hold of the barrel of the weapon. A boy came up with a baseball bat, and snatching this, the plucky servant girl threatened to brain the abductor if he he did not give up the child and the pistol. He, however, though prostrate, clung to both untila large crowd had assembled. Then the fellow, thoroughly exnausted, was overpowered, the little girl was secured and he was disarmed. The man was Henry Qnartley, the child father. His eyes flashed with rage as he shouted at his sister-in-law, who had the child clas] in her arins, “I'll have that child yet.” No at- is now closely guarded to prevent it from again failing into the hands of its tather. ——_+eo_— THE WINTER PALACE. Ma gnificence of the Home of the Czar of All the Russias. A letter to the San Francisco Chronicle from | St. Petersburg says: Scarce as money is and poor as are the mass of the people, there is enough to keep up a certain style, especially in the royal palaces and public buildings. Thanks | to the courtesy of G. M. Hutton, the United States vice consul general, who was in charge of the consulate, we obtained permission to go over the winter palace, a favor not always granted tostrangers. It isahuge building of brown stone and covers a large area,each of the sides (it is nearly square) measuring some 450 feet; but it is not more than 90 feet high, and the heavy cornice that forms an almost un- broken line round the top still further detracts from the height. PI on this cornice is a large number of statues, which it requires no great stretch of imaginationto conceive to be | ges endeavoring to escape from destruction ¥ way of the root, so jumbied up are they with the chimneys. The general effect of the build- ng, which only dates from 1839, would be poor were it not for itasize, which, to some extent, makes up for want of architectural ndeur. ‘The interior Is also devold of any special archi- tectural features, and there is no grand stair- case. Itis simply ahuge square box, divided up into rooms, but some of these are truly mag- nificent, and when filled with the flower of Rus- sian society, as they are at state receptions during the winter season, must look grand in- deed. Peter’s throne-room, with silver chande- liers, red tinted walls, and highly decorated dome; Union hall with gilded columns; the throne-room, with its massive iron pillars and gold chandeliers and trophies of gold and silver plate against the walls and stands eloping up to | the very ceilings are all imperial apartments in every sense. Th and corridors is also moet imposing, although the paintings of battle scenes, where carnage and rapine are depicted in all their horrors with ® monotony that becomes almost nauseating, seem to be hardly adapted for the exclusive adornment of rooms, intended for gay assem- blages, and they must forma ghastly contrast | to bright tollets and glittering jewels, and fair womanly forms. ‘The visitor ts escorted through hall after hall decorated with almost barbaric magnificence, and at each one is taken under the charge of a fresh attendant, attired in gorgeous imperial livery. The palace, which at present is quite unoccupied—as the emperor resides at another Posen some distance up the Newski prospect— irly swarms with servants, who are well dressed and courteous and extremely idle, hay- ing By gectrerl nothing on earth to do except to stand or walk about in the empty apartments, which are seldom n by any other feet. Here and there is to be seen a superior officer, in fall uniform,evidently in charge of some part of the bullding, and at one point we suddenly came upon two Cossack sentinels, armed to the teeth and standing motionless on each side of a door-way, This was the entrance to the room containing the crown jewels. Our attendant Inserted a key, two heavy iron doors swung ee eee in. The room was ost bare, with the exception of some glass- topped cases, such asare used at museums for manuscripts and objects of int which stood Rear the wi and two stands, but when the cloths which covered them were re- moved the sight was dazzling. In the side cases was a collection of tiaras and aigrettes and — in brilliants and rubies and ‘he central stands bore the crown regalia. The emper’s crown, a huge mass of diamonds of the purest water, surmounted by an extraordinary ‘uncut Faby; the empress’ crown, somewhat smaller, if possible, more brilliant, and the scepter. bearing on its top the celebrated Laz- ardoff diamond, of which the story is told that it was stolen from an Indian temple, and car- ried off concealed in a cut in the leg of its pur- Joiner. Compared with these Muscovite gems all others that I have ever looked on are dull andamall. One thing in the llery of the palace was remarkable, anit that is the ab- whose por- sence of iarly Russian w traits covered the walls. There were faces of strictly English type, Swedish faces in small number, and German faces in any quantity, but Ruseian faces none, and no one could guess that he was surrounded by the likenesses of the men by whom the great northern power had been built up.

Meigs Advocates the Use of Above Ground Pipes for Salt Water. ‘To the Editor of the Tribune: Si: While a complete and separate set of water-mains for the use of the New York fire department is almost impossible, because of the expense and diMculty of laying them down’ under the pavements through the dry goods districts, it would be quite practicable and would not be very expensive to carry pipes suf- ficient for fire purposes over the roofs or at- tached to the rear walle of the great ware- houses of this district. Water mains for general supply need to be fed by large mains laid through the middle or around the exterior of a district, because they are called upon to supply water at the same moment to every house inthe district. In extinguishing fires, however, the want Is as a rule at one point only, embracing the one, two or three buildings in which the fire has appeared. Fires are now put out by water forced through hose of small diameter, es many hose being used as there are engines at work, and some- times more than one line of hose being fed by one engine. It is suggested that lines of six- | Inch pipes from the North and East rivers, cross- ing the city by the transverse streets, branching into the streets parallel to the river; and at- tached to the walls or on roofs of the buildings, could be supplied with salt water by steam pumps placed upon steamboats always kept with fires banked, steam up, ready to start. Half a dozen such vessels as are now kept for use against fire in shipping or on the docks would form a complete fire department for all the most dangerous parts of New York. Their hose could be coupled at the docks to the ends of the pipes leading across the city, and thus would supply all the water needed against fires in any part of the dry goods district without calling upon the Croton supply. The pipes should be protected by some non- conducting covering in common use on steam pipes from the transmission of cold, so that in very cold weather the salt water forced into them would not be cougealed befure it reached the locality of the fire. M. C. MEIGs. 1883. Very respectfully, Washington, D.C., Sept. 20, How Was Man Distributed on the Earth? From the Popular Science Monthly. This period, long as it appeats, is very short as compared with the myriads of ages of geo- logical development that preceded it, and repre- sents only the last and shortest ot the geological periods. The question. arises, How has the human race been able to spread itself over the whole surface of the globe? Is it the product of different and independent origins in the sev- eral continents, or have all men sprang from a common cradie,a “mother-region?” On this point students are divided, Agassiz holding that men were created, and Carl Vogt that they were developed, at different centers, and Quatrefages and the theologians maintaining the unity of their origin. The fact is left that man, the same in all the essential characteristics of the species, has advanced into all the habita- ble parts of the globe, and that not re- cently, and when provided with all the re- sources that experience and inventive genius could put at his disposal, but when still young and ignorant. It was then, weak and almost naked, having only just got that fire and a few rude arms with which todefend Itself and procure food, the human race conquered the world and spread Itself from within the Arctic circle to | Terra del Fuego, from the Samoyed country to Van Diemen’s Land, from the North Cape to the Cape of Good Hope. Itisthis primitive exodus, as certain as it is inconceivable, accepted by | science as well as by dogma, that we have to explain, or at least to make probable; and that. in an age when it is only after the most won- derful discoveries, by the aid of the most pow- erful machinery for navigation, through the boldest and most adventurous enterprises, that civilized man has been able to flatter himself that he has at last gone as far as infant man went in an age that is so far removed from us as to bafile all calculations. We must insist on this point, for it brings Into light an obstacle which those who have tried to trace out the connection between widely sepa- rated races and to determine the course that had been followed by tribes now separated by oceans and vast expanses have hitherto tound insurmountable; for if man is one—to which we are ready to agree—we must assign a single point of departure for hts migrations. ;in these migrations man has gone wherever he could, aad at every spot he has occupied and settled has acquired characteristics peculiar to the place, and which differentiated from the men settling in other places. Hence the varieties in human races. Some of these spots seem to have been peculiarly favorable to his advancement and became centers of civilization. The number ofsuch centers is, however, very limited, and their distribution is significant. ———__~-o-______ Wednesday Whatnots. There are two things in the world which a tramp will not sit down on.

DR. CHEEVER’S ELECTRIC BELT, or Regenerator, is made expressly for the cure of derangements of the |‘ procreative organs. Whenever any debility of the gen- ‘erative organs occurs, from whatever cause, the con- tinuous stream of ELECTRICITY permeating through the parts must restore them to healthy action. There is no mistake about this instrument, Years of use have tested it, and thousands of cnres are testified to, Weak- ness from Indiscretion, Incapacity, Lack of Vigor, Bterility—in fact, any trouble of these organs is cured. Do not confound this with electric belts advertised to cure all ills from head to toe. This is for the ONE spe- cified purpose. For circulars giving full information address— Tuomesows Sumr FE.
