ALEXANDRIA IN Barer, Dore. pB Evrore, Noy. 5, 1869, T believe there are very few who do not admit that the boats of the Messngeries Impériales are very volerable boats. Any man on tand behind his marine glasses would even allow that they are fine; but it 1s traly wonderful bow much less woe ad- mire & big roiling ship when we are on it wan from sk distance, Now, the Said, on which your Fashions correspondent satied for Alexandria, with about twenty of the Viceroy’s guests, was full of other passengers from every nation, and all admired the Said, but no sooner did she begin to toss—a thing ste applied herself to as early as possibie—than every oue gilowed their feelings vo be tarned against her— turned to the very bitterness of gall. Before these internal sensations were roused, however, and ere the vessel heaved. I observed, the companions in whose society I was to be inspired with a series of “Orientals” for the Haxano. I wondered, too, on looking round, whether Chateaubriand, Lamartine, Byron and Victor Hugo had, when they wrote on the Fast, fallen amid such a varied crowd, and if 80, what @ prodigious fount of poetry they must have kept, camel-lixe, inside; never drawing it out by the pagefull until reaiicy had been effaced from their memorios, I soon caine across well known faces, firstly tho humorist and famed horn player, Vivier; then Abbé Bauer, Whose name I so often recorded when he preached Lent atthe Tuileries; then the Prefect of Venice and Habib Bey, of the staff of the King of Sweden; Dr. Brash, the friend of Count Bismarck and editor of the Northern Allegemeine Zeitung; M.’Renon, of the famoys bronze manufactory, con- ducted by M, Deniere; M. Montone, the French artist, who executes all the oficial engravings in the Ji’ustration, and has been many years in Egypt: M. Dounwt, of the International Association for the Deveiopment of Commerce, and archologists and scholars whose names alone were famillar to me, besides a large number of gentiemen wearing the Order of the Legion of Honor, among whom was Captain Lynch, well known by resident Americans ib Paris, and most deservingiy 80. The ladies are also -entiticd to s particular men- on, ‘There was pretty Mme. Lorvis, sister to the wife of Charles de Lesseps. She was in Diack sili and high Tyrolean hat, with a very long black gauze vell, a black and white serge burnous, and a complexion all her own. . There was Mme, Sclaeiler, in olive green cloth and high felt hat, with a bush of feathers on one si1e; a bride, too, all in violet velveteen, eyes and all, Itis needless to say she was going to Egypt for her honeymoon, There were fascinating crevles, too, with eyes and teeth Buch as have never yet come into my fashion letiers, and bankers’ wives, who live on boats be- tween Marseilles and Alexandria, and whose voca- tion seoms to be that of golng to France for the fashions and of roturning to Egypt where they show them off. They all wore heavy jewelry and emerald rings outside of their gloves, Not one ugly foot or leg on board—a thing I was reminded of by the ex. troordinary care taken to display them. Perhaps this was enforced by the necessity of going up and down ladders and statrways. There were twelve Arabs tn white bornouses on mats, and among them a veiled fomale, Ishould class among the ladics a German tenor, who paced up and down, humming schubert’s melodies, His mustache had beea very much enrled ‘up, his collar mach turned down. He prided him- self eviaently on Is boots, and intended to be the lion of the passage. After having noted these items TI descended to the lower regions, and found the salon magniti- cent, Lower still, [proceeded to the cabin. Five, six and seven fellows were siready in each, and, In fact, already felt sixes and sevens. My berth was in acabin containing hospitality only for four, but it was considerately perched above my fellow gufterera and only accessible by means of @ ladder. This pe- culiar situation nearly caused me to break my ribs each time I straggied up for a comforting wink from the god of siumber. 1 aiso once twisted my neck on endeavoring to look at my watch dangling froma hook in the ceijing. These are simply secondary considerations. I wags gotng to see the Parls fashions in Egypt, and had anticipated hard knocks beforehand. As soon a3 the commanding edifice ‘Was out oF sight called Notre Dame de la Garde, a chapel commanding a view of the Mediterranean for leagues around, an insufferable fragrance per- vaded the ungentle Southern breezes. Ladies began to show anxiety about their curis and chignons, while sallowness came over the features of tne strong set. It had to pe battied with, and each bravely kept up, trying with his nearess companion in attempts to keep nameless troubles on tneir breasts in peace, It was nobie in its way, bat it ended in a strange Impulse to walk to the night while tho Mesh waywardly staggered to to the left, then totterad, then approached the sides of the Said with a sway, where the struggle wag given up and Neptune beca ne the confldant of man's woo—the someting, at least, to be explicit, went overboard, Then commenced the rush to the cabins, a kind of fantasia down tho narrow stairway; then wore groaning and moans audible, I was only woll enough to observe that the utferances of ladies when HL at sea.are not more harmonious than those of the strong set, The wallings of te German tenor would, if pnt to music, have been aa chromatic as Wagner's best. In his distress he forgot his mustache entirely. ‘This Uvely state of thins continued uatil we reached the coasts of Corsica and Sardinia, Caprera camo to view and Garibaidi’s famous house, bat he must have been outor had changed ls red shirt. We grere now aware that the moals on board Were Mos? sumptions, and that the datty vn fit for princes. Tae usnal fare had been lmproyed in honor of the Khdive’s guests, consoynontly the other passengers looked on us with ine‘fabie afta. bully, and drank to our happy journey in the best Wine to bo had of all brands, The ladies came on deck when we touched Messina, having to stop there four hours. It was midnight. Stili coral mer- chants were allowed to come up in small boats and exhtbited their wares, Lovely sets of ornaments Were purchased by tho passengers, ad weil as figurines, tn Neapolitan pasteboard, showing the costume of the peasantry round about. Every one on board had now become acquatated, and the strange faces of the Messina mer- chants, seen vy torchlight, added to their merriment, con French, German, Ilatan and Dnglish were heard; there was larghter, too, over bargaining for Java earrings and coral combs, Meanwhile clouds dispersed, the stars shono brightly, the calm sea was strangely phosphorescent and this short rest was @ reward for past tgtals, From that the to our arrival here nothing occurred worth mention, with the exceptifn of Abbe Bauer's stoves, Vivier's ton mots, Mme, Sorols’ sweet slaging, the German tenor's tremolo and ipat amusing lessons given to the wriliug In Arabic, When at length Alexandria did come to view we all set up a shout, “Land! land! Hurrah for the Vive. roy? it was @ glorious morning. Vessels bearing ail colors fie in the majestic, bright bay. There in the Eastern sun stretcued tha palace of the Viceroy, with its bulb formed domes; herp rose countless minarets and Pompey’s Pillar, a sure guile from afat-to the harbor, and rowmg up to wards US chine myriads of wuitt-colored -Arabians in small boats co carry the luggage and passengers to shore. In very litue time the cords and rigging of the Said were literally nung with these bronze-faced men, It was thon visiblo that some were Jews, Greeks, Armenians, all with out- stretched hands imploring to be hired, while the word vakshish was alond compretiensible, This inplios begaing, and from the time the traveller tonewea’ Kgyptian sol until be loaves tt the word 4 pursues him, When the signal was given for them Ww leap on deck, they did ieap, and no mistake; they turned abous the heavy trunks and large baggage aa if they were playing at marbies with 1t, or like 60 many pirates, On-thoy came, in swarms: but we had all been prepared for the attack and requested to break our sticks and umbrellas over their backs if they touched our effects, which stood before cach of ua, A steamer from tho Viceroy was to convey us to shore, and we were not to pass through the ordeal of the Alexandrian Custom House, The jabbera- tion which ensued 1s indescribable for these mon are addicted to “lifting” besides portering, and if they can get a bag or valise by knocking you down they do not hesitate to do so, unless they find you prepared to strike them. It lasted a full hour before the wares on board were cleared and we could seo our own on the steamer that lod us to shore, whera carriages awaited us, Totlols can be fancied. The variety of hats was striking, all punched in. Ladies were awfully cram- pled; it was the triumph of cloth travelling costumes over black silk. Nothing buy the expression, ‘the unknown,” can describe what we camo toes we were being driven to the hotel prepared for us. Our coachmen were in long white night gowns with a red fezon their heads, They eat gravely on their seats, preceded by runners, who, bare-legged, clearod the way with poles in their hands, shouting as they distributed whacks right and left on the donkeys or populace that stopped up the narrow way. It was a scene, everything viewed was in itselfa . pieture. Thero are no sidewalks and not a squaro of pavoment in these streets; the ground ts earth or deep dust in which animals and men sink as they wade through; on elther side are rows of stores or cupboards from which hang articles of apparel and food never yet seen, and in front of which sit thelr owners on boaris crosa-leggod, smoking their pipes and sipping coffee, But thia has often been dis- erlbed, every one knows what ‘ts the aspect of a Turkish and Arabian city, only the misery, dirt and local color of these facts must be viewed to be tho- roughly conveyed to the mind. ‘The women ail wore the biue blouse tn {ts antique loose grace, leaving no outline of figure discern. ble, with the exception of their naked feet and now and then a smail portion of full yeliow trousers round the ankle if the wearer 13 a little above tne lowest caste, The black vell is kept on the lower part of thelr faces by a boxwood or copper snap that comes , down over the forehead aud between the eyebrows, Testing on the nose. The population can be called ‘“swarming;’ chil- dren, camels, donkeys—and tho latter are the pim- blest littie trotters -dogs and dromedartes are hud- dled together. Flies settle in clouds on the goods displayed and on the faces of the inhabitants, who leave them there regardless of sting. Some of the children are hideous, with their eyes surrounded hy rings of flies in the scorching sun; blindness is most common among them. Small babes in arms a» often met with files on their checks that would tr ritato any other new born considerably, but they quietly sleep, thus acquiring early forbearance with a very unnecessary evil. ‘We were informed on arriving at the Notel that the Khédive had placed guides and carriages at our free disposal for.the time of our stay at Alexandria and that seats had been taken for us at the Italian opera. Aftera most welcome bath our party die vided, and we each weat out way to visit the sights, As we leave to-morrow for Cairo no time was to bo lost, The first spot to hal¢ at was Pompey’s Pillar, a splendid and world famed column of Thebaic stone; Cleopatra’s Needle the next; then the Catacombs and the palaces of tie Viceroy slong the canal of Matmoudieh, which joins the Nile to Alexandria, Many guests were promenading in the lovely gar- dens round the palaces, under thick cttron and orange groves, myrtle thickets, double jasmin hedges and trees as bigh as elms covered with the large, full mallow. A high tree that bears yellow blossoms and strongly smells cf vanilla appears to be the commonest along the roads, Lirds of large growth, such os the ibis and heron, are seen near the water, but no small ones. ‘The pelican stands on one loz, with hts beak Ina front ram that outdoes Eitzabethans, and his gravity while he thus coyitates is to be compared to that of the men on their donkeys, A banquet was given in the hotel, modestiy called o dinner, after which the piece played at the opera was the “Africalug.”? All the ladies im the boxes were dressed & ta Parisienne, with the same material and cot as aro now styled the “last thing out.” All were in full evening dress, but none are prettyor graceful. It 1s flash without the substance—an imitation of Paris style. The performance was good and nothing in- - dicated that but a few so-called streets separated tho audience from the desert. Cairo 1s decorated in honor of the Enypress’ last passage there and fa expectation of her return be fore her departure sgain, with our own, for Is- matila. EARTHQUAKES.
