Eye-witness of the riot in Lancas ter, arrived in Chester this evening and reported the following full par ticulars of the event : Several huu dred negroes gathered- iu Lancaster yesterday, according to advertise ment to a sIitical meeting at which speeches were to lie made by T. Hendrix McLane, the Greenback candidate for Govornor, aud Col. E, b..C. Cash, iude)ciideiit candi date for Congress. McLane failing to arrive, the meeting was organized iu a grove about, a quarter of a mile from town. F. A. Clinton, colored presiding. Cash was intniduced at 12 o'clock, and sjHke hImhiI an hour and a half making, it is said, a con servative address. At the conclu" sion of Cash's speech, the chairman iuvited a reply by Mr. D. J. Carten editor of the Lancaster "Ledger." He accepted, and iu the course of his remarks was insolently inter rupted by several colored men who denounced him as a liar. The re marks were reasserted, when au in furiated mob of drunken negroes nished upon the stand, tearing it down and draggiug the speaker off, together with Messrs. V. C. Moore J. Quay Dnuovant and John Vanghan, the only white Democrats present. Clinton and several colored meu interfered, and protected the whites, aud finally rescued them af ter they had been beaten with clubs and shot at. j i - Clinton received a slight pistol wound in the nose from the mob wlin fiivd the only shots. Quiet be ing, restored, it was reported th;.t a row was in progress up town, whereupon the crowd repaired thither, under great exciinent. Tne negroes were mounted and reached main street, where au effort was being made to arrest llanip Mabley, who was druuk and disorderly dur ing the melee. Mr. J. Quay Dnuovant had come up and was standing in the street opposite Twitty & Conner's store, where the excited negro horsemen rode up, headed by bill Crockett, pointing out Dunnovant and curs ing him as the d d scoundrel who started the row at the stand. He tired his pistol at him, the ball st rik ing a memorandum liook and gianc ing off without harm. Crockett was immediately shot dead from his saddle aud firing began iudiscrimi nately on lioth sides. Two other negroes, Tom Cunningham and Nathan Cureton, were killed out right and twenty or thirtv wound ed, at which discomfiture the mob fled precipitately, leaving behind their three dead comrades,! wo -dead mules and two mortally wounded We learn that four of the -wounded I have since died, making seven kill i ed. Order lteiug restored; Coroner beldon held an inquest over the bodies, and it was found that they ' came to their deaths at the hands of ! parties unknown to the iury. Alter the negroes leit town it was repor ted that they had gathered a crowd of several hundred ,near town and were threatening to attack and burn the town that night. ; The In tendent telegraphed here for assis tance and the Sheriff sent over a deputy, but the fifty armed men who were, ready to go dispersed at the receipt of a telegram stating that the neeroes had disbanded without further demonstrations. The deputy was ordered to halt by a crowd of negroes this side of tow nr but he passed without ! halting, Crockett, the leader of the negroes, was employed by Twifty and run ners, and was a dangerous and fur bulenr character, the other negiws were from the country ; it : is said, the crowd came into town drunk throughout the day, with pistols buckled outside thier coats. No whites were hurt in the riot, but buildings in the vicinity are riddled with bullets and buckshots.

Perhaps, says the Loudon Daily Air, the most utrfciBg idea of the effect of t he Nil water is obtained from standing on . the summit of the Great Pyramid of Geezeh. The pyramid stands on the desert, but, close; to th cultivated noil the cultivated soil in this' case mean the land which has been covered by the inundation of the great river. To the height which its waters have reached the color is green from vegetation; where it has not touched its desert. So distinct is the line of green with he bijff colored sand that looking down from the pyramid it seems as if you could pnt one foot on the cultivated and another on, (j the, nnirrigated ground. The sharp, defined edge of a well kept lawn and a gravel path will picture the state of the case to the mind of any one. Gaz ing on this IronV the pyramidand it can be seen as far as the eye can reach to north aud south-the import ance of the Nile water is realized. ' As high as the inunda tion rises there is growth .and cul tivation; food, for man and beast is produced; where the wafer has not moved ou the surface there is the desert, sterile ami bare, with 'a hot, monotonous " sun gtartng every where. The1; essential cause of Egypt's greatness, Ih. the, past ,is realized as weH,a!tfci (continued political ixnppito&ed ef the country to our owa tiihesi .'

A ceremony T hi A yet per formed ' whlchT Is' snppesed to have desinded from these rites. It is now known under the," Arab title of "Haroost 'e NeaL" or 'The Bride of the Nile." cient height for the. irriiration of EgJ'l't 'n tbe time of Moris, and this forms one the grounds on which it has leeu urged ' tlntt the elevation of the lan1 haschangel the conditions of the yearl.t inunda tion. At the present day a rise of eighteen feet -at Cairo i$ looked upon as approaching a famine year. Up to twenty-seven feet isgood,aud no bad effects result; but alnive that height it becomes a fltMl ami does damage by carrying iway t ie dykes and other works connected with irrigation. Iu addition to the ruin of crops a high inundation has a tendency to produce disease, not only among the inhabitants, but among their flocks as well. The rise of the river was ?carefullv watched, and the guardians of the Nileometers announced the height daily. There were Nileometers at various places. The one best known to those who visit Egypt at the present day is at Rhoda, near Cairo. The daily proclamation of the rise was to prepare the people for the proper time to Ojen the canals. : f When, this had been done and all the country was under water, as all occupations were sijsiKMided and none of the works of husbandry could be jierformed, the I ancient Egyptians betook themselves to amusements. They had games and gymnastic exercises, wrestling matches and bull-fights, to which were added a plentiful supply of eating and drinking. In this way thev pass their time till tin! waters subsided. -. Tbe Matrimonial Market. PROTECT THE GIRLS. A CAMDEN NEGRO TRAIjES HIS WIFE FOR A "YELLOW AN) WHITE SETTER." . f The you tiff devoted bride .Of the fierce Nile, when decked k)M the pride Jf nuptial p imp, she sinks into the tide Lalia Kookh. A pillar of mud now repre sents the bride; it is made at the oMMiing of one of the canals at Old Cairo, and it is swept away by the waters at the opening of the (lam. The Mohammedan tradition is that one of their rulers substituted the mud pillar for, a virgin which the Christians sacrificed every year. Sir Gardner Wilkinson doubts and lelieves that in A. D. 038 the Arabs continued the custom from the Christians; who received it from the Egyptians. He oes not think it likely that the Christians would sacrifice . -i. human being, and it is quite jwissible that the bride of the Nile was onlv a mud figure even iu the older Egyptian period. This ceremony is now goue through about the 10th of August, when the inudatiou is .supposed to lie approaching its highest. The first indications of the rise appear in Lower, Egypt about the middle of June and continue till Septem- ,ler, when the full overflow is reached. ! In November or Decem ber again the waters have disap peared and the Nile is generally reduced to its ordinary level. The incient Egyptians were iu the habit ofclosiug up the dams after the full riscj so as to retain the water on the fields, and thus secure a fuller lejMisit of mud, as Well as a longer continuance of the fertilizing ele ment. The White Nile seudsdown thi largest amount of water for the inundation, but it is the blue Nile which supplies the most important material for the. alluvial deposit, and which is of such value to the crops. It is this deposit which has lieen slowly raising the level of, the surface of Egypt a rise which has lieen very exactly determined in late yeariji. It was first observed in the case of the Memuou statues and in the olielisk which still stands at Heliojiolis the base of these monuments, remaining as fixed points, "Yes, sab !

"0,000 dam ages for injuries that his daughter received while in his society. The young people- had been keeping company for some years, and the carriage of t fie young man was of ten sien in front of the Michigan avenue residence of the lady. Last DeceiuWr he ceased visiting her, aiid simt that time she has been an invalid, and has Wen treated for a spinal difficulty, and the father will go into the courts, it is said against his daughter's' wish, to have the matter of responsibility settled, it seems that the young man is bow-!egged, -so much so that it has always lieen considered dangerous for anyone to tit in his lap, for fear thev would fall throuch to the fliRr aiid break some bones. It is said that the young man knows his failing, ami that he usually holds any person who may le in his lap with his arms, so that there is no danger of falliug through, - but that iu this case he forgot the dauger, and let the girl slip. The father claims that the young man know ing how fearfully and , wonderfully he is made, should have adopted precautions, and' in his complaint he wUI swear that on several occa sions he has: warned the young man he should put. a lniar.l across his lap,- or some day his parenthesis legs would let somebody through. In his answer to the complaint the young man will say that- his legs are just as nature made them, ami that -anybody who sits iu his lap takes his chances. He adds that if the girl h;idused all the precaution that; one in so dangerous a position should nse,1.and thrown her arms around his!-neck as" others have done, there need have -been no dan ger;- and while he sympathizes deeply with her and her family, owing.to the alleged injury, he can not. consider hiin responsible. Of course there are too sides to rtvery question, and lwth sides will have sympathizers. While we do not wish to take sides on the quest kiii, there- are S'line facts connected with it that it seems a duty of the pious press to agitate. The country is full of Imiw legged .young men, going , about) seeking whom' .'they .m i.v hold ini their laps, and I hi wonder is that more such accidents do not occur.
