Indianapolis Journal, Cairo (Arabic, Kahira), the capital city of Kgypt, is the largest oity in Africa, and the second clty in popula tlon in the Turkish Empire. The khedive ltves there, though he has palaces in other places, Its popula- tion is about 400,000 Oid Cairo, founded by the Babylonians when Cambyses, tho Persian, conquered Egypt, is now mostly ruins and lies alongside of modern Cairo. The lat. ter was built by the Fatimito Khalifs. The planet Mars (in Arabic, Kahir) orossed the meridian at the time of founding—hence, Kahira, anglicised into Cairo, Its history 18 a wonderful and event- fal one, a record of battles, sieges, massacres, revolutions and revolts. In July, 1708, Napoleon, atter the Bat tlo of the Pyramids, ocoupied the olty. Since 1811, when Mohammed All massacred the Mameluke Beys, the history of the city has been rather a peaceful one, The city is on the right bank (as you descend) of the Nile, nino miles above the dividing of the Nile into its two great branches which form the delta— the Damietta and the Rosetta branches. The Rosetta branch enters the .Mediterranean sea just east of Alexandria; the Damietta just west of Port Said, which is the north end of the Suez canal. The Nile is about 3,000 miles long; at Cairo about 3,300 feet wide, before it divides, and the distance between the mouths of its principal branches, in a straight line, about 120 miles. Thus Cairo is about 100 miles from the sea, and at the south angle of the triangular delta, and the pyramids of Ghizeh and Sakhara and the Sphynx being near help to make the city inter- esting. But without these it 18 one of the most interesting of cities, owing to its population of such various races, with their customs, costumes and dwellings; besides, it is the rendez- vous of all the Europeans attracted by curiosity to the Nile and the wonder- ful ruins of ancient Fgypt. Cairo 18 Mohammedan, and its ar- chitecture is characterized by minarets and domes. All other religions are simply disdainfully tolerated. 1Its population is composed principally of various shades of Moslems, Not so well shaded as Indianapolis, the city presents a green and beautiful appearance in contrast with the bare white desert that approaches its en- virons on both sides. Small palm above the roofs of the houses; lebbek trees lino many of the drives and ar- cade them; banyan trees are seen in the brick-walled gardens through the grated gates, and the sunt trees (aca cia nilotica) and many others decorate the gardens. Inthe heart of modern Cairo there is a garden—the Ezbek- finest of shoes, with fine overshoes which can be removed at the moeque door, Whenever a Mohammedan apreads a oloth to pray tho ground ia holy, and he removes his shoes or overshoes, or if barefooted washos his feot hence the fountains for the poor at the doors of all larze mosques, In outward observances the Mohamme. dans are very faithful, praging at the eall of the Mueddin regulatly, despite any businees or strangers, and without tespeot to loeality 1t 18, to a Earo: poan, slightly proveking aiter o long trade to conclude that you are about to finish a good bar ain when sudd n ly the soller gravely turns his faca to- ward Mocoa and begins his prayers, and lots you stand and wait or depart, but there is no help for it The tombs of the Khalifs and those of the Mamelukes, each boing mosque of some peculiar construction, and no two among the hundreds aliko, the ruins of old Oairc, with its Coptic church, the Boulak museum, where now lio many of the former kings and queens of Egypt 4,000 years dead, the mysterious Nilo itsolf, tho Pyramids and the Sphinx, with the sito of the ancient olty called Heliopolis, and the vast tombs and palaces of this ancient BROWN'S IRON BITTERS will etre dyspepsiaheartburn, mala via, kidney discase, liver complaint, and other wasting discases BROWN'S IRON BITTERS entiches the blood and purifies the system; cures weakness, lack of energy, etc, Try a bottle, people, the Fayum Oasis, where was the ancient Lnfiyrlnth-nll lying near Qairo—add each an additional attrac tion to a visit to that interasting city.

The real tight would be for the possession of the hills, The Nile would make a good defense, but is too long a line. It will take a large or brave army to defend the city from an Earopean at- tack. Kafried Danar, where Arabi Pasha (Pasha is General; Bey, Colonel; Sheikh, Mayor; Kadi, Judge) is, is the first solid ground south of Alexandria whero a good-sized army could cawmp, and, being at the junction cf the canal and railway from Alexandria and Qairo, is where he will make a stand, probably, unless he rotrats to Cairo. The Egyptian army can go no further than Cairo, for there the cultivable Nalleo of the Nile narrows to six or eight miles in breadth, where it would be difficult to support vr maneuver an army of any sizo, and to retreat be yond (south of) Cairo, where the rail- way from Suez (on the Red Sea) would have to be abandoned, would be to give up all of Egypt an invader would wish to hold.

Tt says: lyah —twenty acres in extent, open to strangers for a trifling fee, which, un. der the circumstances, impresses the summer tourist at night as a suburb of Paradise. Walks, lakelets, bridges, boats, music, ices, etc., under the various kinds of trees, amid grottoes, flowers, and with an Egyptian sky above, illuminated, as it is on great occasions, with 2,600 gas-jets, with seats and cafes, theatres and cafe chantantes, make a scene to be re- membered. There are many other gardens aboat Cairo; but the bazaars in the native part of the city present a scene tolally unlike those of Constantinopole, and more picturesque and Oriental. One has a feeling of regret when he takes his last look at the scene, and thereafter must buy in a business-like European store. Iknow no more piquant day than one spent astride a three-feet- high donkey, crowding one's way throwgh the men, camels, children, goats, women, cattle, porters loaded, horses, carringes, otc., elbowing »nd crowded by turband Turks, nearly naked Egyptians, veiled women and unveiled (the feilahecen women rarely wear veils), baskets of figs on donkeys, and fruits on camels, asses, and horses; soldiers, mueddins, shop keepers, etc. The noise and contusion is always that of a riot, and the ner- ves of a stranger require a half hour to feel that they are notin the heart of a tremendous row. The hour preceding dark is like the sacking a city, for the heat of the day subdues it greatly. The carriage driv- ers go right through the jostling crowd, yelling and cracking their whips, and force u passage, like chargo of war chariots, only not so fast, while buying and selling go on in the bazaars, at the doors and all over the streets, buy a pipe at a bazaar window, and as you wat to sclect one a half naked fellah with a black goat’s hairy skin full of water (with the skin of the legs distended and sticking out) crowds you to take the next bazaar as he passes; and a camel has his ugly face to yours when you look up— j ist when & landau driver yells to you to look out or you will be run over, and the saucy black-eyed fellah-girls oenjoy your look of distarbed dignity with out restraint, laushing in your face. The chief thoroughfare is the Muski, which extends from the Tombs of the Khalifs to the Esbekiyah gar- den. It woulit repay one for the trip to go blindfolded and return, opening one's eyes only for a ride through it, for the first time. Bedouins are buy- ing guns, Turks smoking and sipping coffee, Kuropeans eight-seeing and souvenir-buying, native Kuyptians (fellab) leading and driving donkeye, asses, and camels, soldiors marching or buyiog, Abyssinians aud Nubians running, jostling, yelling, trading, goats heing milked, melous peddled, grapes in baskets, Jews rattling money as changers, bundles of all kinds con- ceivable on men’s heads and shoulders crowding through, huge goods boxes carried on a pole between two men by ropes, etc, all struggling to get divers ways through the crowd, ‘The street is not over twenty feet wide, but full of zigzags and narrow streets of shops lead out ot it. The smaller streets are of a kind, but each devoted to the sale of some one kind of goods —one for shoes, another for wool, the next attar of roses, and still an other fruits, and so on, You can step into a narrow passage to get out of the jam, and you enter a school-room; another, and you arein a mosque where bearded moslems, barefooted or besliyperd, are prayiug, The moslems do their own praying and worshipping.

Noxt day the Chinese again visited Smith's cabin and wanted him to “Come quick; look see, dog eatee chickee!” Smith went with them and found a large pan- ther in the brush devouring a chicken. He caught it by the tail, stooped and picked up a rock, with which he suc- coeded in breaking the animal's back.
