The Shea Canal Its Coot and Easi
ness.
Washington, D. C, June 10.
It is stated in an official com
munication to the Department of
State that the Suez canal up to the
close of last year cost the Egyptian
government, in addition to the amonnt
of shares sold to the English govern
ment over $71,000,000, about half of
this sum being interest. This in
cludes the cost of the fresh water
canal from Cairo to Ismalia. and
thence to Suez for the use of the
Suez canal and the stations on its
ine, including the cities of Port
Said Suez and Ismalia. The enter
prise so U9efnl to many nations, and
especially to England, was one of
the first causes of the present finan
cial embarrassment of Egypt. .Not
withstanding this great sacrifice
in the interest of commerce, Egypt to
this time has received no benefit from
this canal, but on the contrary has
absolutely sustained in addition to
the money invested constant loss. By
the passage of all classes of vessels
with their passengers and cargoes di
rectly through the canal considerable
commerce is lost to Egypt, and also a
arge business in freights and passen
gers that would otherwise be trans
ported from Alexandria to Suez on
the Egyptiau railways. It appears
from a statement showing the navi
gation through the Suez canal from
December 1, 1869, to December 31,
1875, that the entire number of ves
sels was 6,275: the largest number
being 4,347 English, 292 Italian, 168
Dutch, 140 Ottoman, 345 Austrian,
118 German, 48 Russian, 82 Spanish
and 10 Amerioan. Of the entire
number of vessels, 4,406 were com
mercial steamers and 1,107 postal
steamers. The total number of pas
sengers was 359,036.
Tho sit nation In Mexico.
A recent letter from the City of
Mexico contains some very interest
ing information. The hold of Diaz
on the people is greatly weakened.
Mender, the daring mountain chief,
has fallen ont with Diaz and retired
to his stronghold. The city is f nil of
discontented army officers who will
not recognize Diaz. Diaz is without
means to prosecute the campaign,
and the adherents of Lerdo are taking
a formidable stand in the States of
Guenero, Morelas, Hidalgo, Mexico
and Vera Crnz. Romero, late Mexi
can Minister to Washington, has been
appointed by Diaz as his Secretary of
the Treasnry. Diaz has dispatched
as his Minister to Washington Jose
Maria Matta to supersede Mariscal, if
the United States will receive him.
which is doubtful. The general opin
ion in the City of Mexico was that
Diaz could not control the situation
much longer. A special messenger
brought the dispatches from our Min
ister at Mexico received by the Secre
tary of State on Friday last. The
dispatches are voluminous, giving a
full account of the situation, and are
to the same purport as the informa
tion given above.

we have reason to believe Marshal
Douglas to have been derelict in the man
agement of the affairs of this District, we
are not prepared to credit the statement of
a man like Franks, whose forged witness
tickets are now in the hands of the District
Attorney. The charges brought by Detec

nature, and no doubt will lead to tbe inves

Raleigh News: The executive
committee of the Independent Order of
Good Templars has named Hickory as the
place for holding the next meeting of the
Grand Lodge, and the second Tuesday in
August next as the time. The Ra
leigh Infantry held their regular meeting
last night at Metropolitan Hall, and it was
resolved by the quorum present that the
said company be disbanded on next Fri
day night, unless a more proper interest be
taken in it by the commissioned officers of
said company. Postmaster Holden
and Senator Merrimon wrote to the Post
master General a short time ago, asking if
means could not be devised for completing
the lower floor of the government building,
which is in process of construction here, to
the end that it may be used for the purposes
of a postofHce. The letter was referred to
Secretary Sherman, who replies that orders
will be at once given to press that part of
the building indicated with all possible dis
patch. Raleigh Observer: The Grand
Lodge of the Knights of Pythias will as
semble at the hall of Centre Lodge of thi3
city this evening. A German will be
given this evening by the young gentlemen
of the city at the National Hotel, compli
mentary to Miss Mary Allan Meares, ot
Wilmington. Every arrangement has been
perfected to render the evening one of rare
enjoyment to tbe old as well as the young
people, and a large turnout will doubtless
grace the occasion. The rain of Sat
urday and Sunday, from all we can learn,
has been general throughout the State. It
was much needed for tobacco planting and
for the resuscitation of the oat and grass
crops. A moderate warm rain would have
been somewhat beneficial to cotton, but as
it was an incessant cold rain of two days,
the injury to the cotton prospect is serious
ly damaging. It was, however, just in
time for the tobacco farmers, whose grounds
were in order, plants ready and plentiful,
and a season, a good season, all that was
desired.
Charlotte Observer: It is con
sidered a very remarkable fact that Char

freshing Bhowers yesterday and a cool and
pleasant atmosphere last night. A
physician remarked last night that the
health of the city has not been as good at
this season of the yearas it is now, in ten
years. Five military companies have
been organized in this county during the
last eighteen months, one of which is a
colored company. Only two have arms.
Coroner Alexander came into the city
yesterday and reported that he had held
three inquests in the county during three
days of the week just passed. The first
was held over the dead body of Amzi Gil
mer on the 5th inst The verdict of the
jury was "death by accidental drowning."
The next was Nelson Ross, killed acci
dentally by his father. The verdict in this
case was "accidentally killed by a stick of
wood thrown from the hands of his father."
On the 8th mst, Dallas Davis was drowned
near W. N. Heart's in this county. A ver
dict of death by accidental drowning was
returned in this case.
Concord Register: Mr. Daniel
Cline, known as crazy Dan Cline, living
near Cold Spring, in number 9 Township,
committed suicide yesterday by shooting
himself in the head with a pistol. He has
been in a deranged condition for some
time. A buzzard, belled, passed over
the bouse of Mr. Columbus Blackwelder,
last Sunday, The tinkle, tinkle of the lit
tle bell was what called attention to the
buzzard bell-ringer. On Wednesday,
at Mount Pleasant, a few passionate words
passed between Duke Vanderburg and 1.
N. McCall, when McCall furiously seized
Vanderburg around the waist with his left
arm, and with a knife in his right hand,
commenced a furious stabbing. The first
stab was just below the left shoulder, in his
back, a wound two inches deep; he then
plunged the knife in his (Vanderburg's)
left thigh, the length of the blade, inflicting
a wound two inches long; he then cut across
the abdomen a gash six inches long, touch
ing the bone; he then made a raking cut
across his bowels, but the knife had grown
dull by its fearful usage, and did not go
through to his intestines, but made a fear
ful gash; he then inflicted several slight
cuts. It all happened in less than a minute.
It is thought Vanderburg may recover.

magistrates' Court,
Edward Hill, Joseph Ellerson and Elijah
Davis, all colored, were arraigned before
Justice Gardner, yesterday, charged with
committing assault and battery on the per
son of Antone Swain, on Sunday last, in
the woods near this city. It appears from
the evidence that Swain, who is a white
boy, was set upon by a number of colored
boys, some of them nearly grown, and
beaten with switches, &c, without any ap
parent provocation on his part Hill and
Ellerson were discharged on the payment
of costs, with the understanding that their
parents should chastise them for the offence,
while Davis, who appears to have been the
instigator of the assault, was ordered to
pay a fine of $10 and the costs.

of age. The only witnesses examined were
Drs. King and West and the mother ef tbe

a further hearing this afternoon. Mr. J. D.
Bellamy, Jr., appears for the defence. The
case bids fair to prove quite a serious one.

Tbe Excursion of the Young Catho
lic Friends Society yesterday.
Notwithstanding the threatening aspect
of the weather yesterday morning, which
gave prospect of a rather disagreeable day,
tbe steamer Gov. Worth, chartered by the
Young Catholic Friends' Society, left her
wharf shortly after tbe hour appointed for
the proposed excursion to Smithville and
Fort Caswell. The number of excursion
ists, though not as large as would have
been the case under more favorable cir
cumstances, was nevertheless quite re
spectable (fully two hundred.).
Steaming up the river as far as Point
Peter, the various shipping tipped their
flags in honor of the excursionists, which,
being somewhat unusual, was highly ap
preciated by them. There was a good
band of music on board, and dancing
to its cheerful accompaniment Was
soon commenced, and continued Until
the boat landed at Smithville. Re
maining here about a half an hour,
and such of the excursionists as
preferred to remain having gotten off, the
boat steamed over to Fort Caswell, where
tbe party landed. There was a stoppage
at this poitn of about two honrs and a half
many of the excursionists in the meantime
enjoying themselves in strolling about the
beach, picking up shells, &c, and others
indulging in a pleasant ride on the river in
sail boats. At the expiration of the time
appointed for remaining here the whistle
sounded for all hands to embark and the
bow of tbe boat was turned Smithville
ward. The roll was then called and 1 the
disagreeable fact was discovered that some
four or five of tbe company had deserted
or straggled off. Fortunately, however,
the delinquents were captured by Sergeant
McDermott, without much resistance
on their part, and forwarded immedi
ately, in sail boats, to "these headquarters"
at Smithville, where they were turned over
to the officer in command, Capt. Worth.
Remaining at Smithville about an hour,
the whistle again sounded "all aboard,"
and the boat started on her way homeward,
tbe merry dance being kept up without in
termission until she reached her wharf, at
about a quarter past 7 o'clock.
Taken altogether, the excursion was a
grand success, the cloudy weather being
esteemed by many as an advantage rather
than a drawback to the pleasure and en
joyment of the occasion. The committee
carried out their arrangements with strict
fidelity and singular success, excellent de
corum being preserved throughout. The
boat was commodious and in good trim,
and Capt. Worth exerted every faculty of
his generous nature to make the excursion
ists comfortable and satisfied, and that he
fully succeeded may be judged from the
fact that there was an almost universal ex
pression in favor of a repetition of the ex
cursion at an early day.
Tbe Pilot Fund.
The following correspondence explains
itself. The Committee, Messrs. Galloway,
Crapon and Craig, deserve much credit for
the energy and seal they have displayed in
the matter of securing aid for the families
of the lost pilots, and they (in common
with tbe donors) will no doubt be gratefully
remembered by the recipients of this timely
and worthily bestowed assistance :

Georgiana Gause, charged with being

this paper as having been discovered by
the Sheriff at his place on Middle Sound,
retained and as little disturbed as may be
for a week oi ten days, when he will come
down for the purpose of witnessing the
process of exhumation. Dr. DeRosset is
expected to be present at the examination,
and we learn that Dr. Winants has also
expressed his intention to be on hand.
Scbool Exhibition.
A correspondent at Rocky Point, Pen
der county, informs us that the exhibition
of Plum Grove Academy, at that place,
came off June 5th, and that the parents
were highly pleased at the progress their
children had attained under the manage
ment of their worthy teacher. There were
several premiums offered, Charlie Tate re
ceiving the first. After the exhibition was
over a collation was served for the benefit
of those present, the community being well
represented on the occasion.
A Knotty problem .
Business was not over and above lively
on the wharf yesterday afternoon, as an
evidence of which fact we found four men,
each seated on a bag of peanuts, figuring
away for dear life at the following problem i.
"Two men, having $100 each, buy a
tractjof landcontainicg 200 acres; one pays
75 cents per acre and the other $1 35; what
number of acres did each one get ?"
They had not arrived at a solution at
last accounts, but were taking up a collec
tion to buy a fresh lot of lead pencils and a
ream of paper.
St. Ppeul's Festival.
The ladies are making vigorous prepara
tions for Thursday evening. The refresh
ments are being prepared by experienced
hands. The entire suite- of rooms in the
Lumsden building will be used on the oc
casion. The musicians alone will ; occupy
the centre room, while the two rooms on
either side and the long verandah will
afford ample accommodation for a large
number of visitors. We hope the attend -ance
will exceed the anticipations of the
ladies interested in getting np this excel
lent entertainment. 1
: IPor the Staif
Hon George Da via' Address.
Mb. Editor: Do not allow your readers
to forget that, on Wednesday evening, the
Hon. George Davis will read the eloquent
and instructive address which he delivered
at the University in 1855. There are seve
ral reasons why a large audience should be
expected. Leaving out tbe reputation of
the speaker as an orator, which is second to
none in our State, tbe address, which is
most interesting, is now out of print, and
none of the younger generation have ever
bad an opportunity to read it It is a vin
dication of the claims of the men of the
Lower Cape Fear, before 'and during tbe
Revolution, to the veneration of posterity,
which every North Carolinian, and espe
cially every citizen of this portion of the
State, should be familiar with and proud .
of. And the object oi thid reading of it
appeals to the friends of the young men of
this community who are striving to g pro-
mote the cause of learning in our city. It
is rare that we have an opportunity to j
spend an hour more pleasantly and profit
ably than will be offered on Wednesday
evening, and the Opera House ought to be
packed. Cape Fear.

THE DUTY OF WOMAN. To be attractive is
a duty which every lady owes to herself, to her do
mestic circle, aad to society. Not only should she
endeavor to please in address and in apparel, but.
whenever possible, in complexion and in feature as
welL Facial embellishment is to a lady as proper,
and oftentimes as necessary, as are the adornments
of her raiment,'' the artificial graces of her conver
sation, of her demeanor, or ether meretricious at
tractions upon which depend so much of her do
minion and influence over man. The woman who
Eermits herself to become unlovely, who resigns
erself hopelessly to the ravages of time, and the
spoliation of her charms, visits upon her friends and
admirers a sorrowful regret, that it becomes her to
avert to the latest day. Of this social duty it may
truthfully be said that she can best acquit herself
by the use of Gouraud's Olympian Cream. No oth'
er preparation approaches this In excellence, in
harmlessness and purity, or compares with it in the
number of spontaneous testimonials that its virtues
have elicited. Hts advertisement has hitherto been
its merit, its recommendation by all that have used
it, and not by sounding and pretentious advertising
in the journals of the day. Trial, bottles 25 cents.
