I have also made arrangements with the

COAL ECONOMIZEE Co. of New York to treat my Coal "with thei Chemical Preparation, which adds greatly to the heating power and cheerfulness <Jf the coal by consuming the gases. It also acts chemically upon the ash, as u^e coal burns, giving off its heat more readily and uniform, which makes it very desirable for household purposes. Baking can be done without the extra kindling often used at such times. I

Stoves with poor draft will do much better work with the prepared coal, and y<ju will not be troubled with poisonous gas.

Fifty cents per ton only is charged for pre­paring coal with the Economizer,

T h e N e w ffland TI u l l c r .

From the Cincinnati Commercial. Maud Muller worked at raking hay, And cleared her forty cents a day.

Her clothes were eoaif e, but her health was fine, And so she worked in the sweet sunshine.

Singing as glad as a bird in May "Barbary Allen" the livelong day.

She often glanced at the far-off town, And wondered if eggs were up or down.

And the sweet song died of a strange disease, Leaving a phantom-taste of cheese.

And an appetite and a nameless ache For soda water and ginger cake.

The Judge rode slowly into v iew-Stopped his horse in the shade and threw

His Anecut out, while the blushing Maud Marveled much a t the kind he "chawed."

"He was 'dry as a fish,' he said with a wink, And kind-o-thought that a good square drink

Would brace him u p . " Bo the cup was filled. With the crystal wine that the old spring spilled.

And she gave it to him with a sun-browned hand,

"Thanks," said the Judge in accents bland;

"A thousand thanks: for a sweeter draught From a fairer hand"—but there he laughed.

And the sweet girl stood in the sun that day And raked the Judge instead of the hay.

Correspondence of the Saratogutn. C A I R O , E g y p t , F e b . 26.— Our passage

from Thebes to t he Lower Cataract was t h r o u g h a p leasant par t of the val ley of the Ni le . T h r o u g h here as elsewhere, the valley contTacta as y o u asceud the river. T h e borders are full of A r a b towns, bu i l t of " the usua l m u d huts tha t are occupied as in o ther par t s , wi thou t furni ture , floors, roofs or windows , or any of the ord inary conveniences of life, and as you go south even c lo th ing d i ­minishes rap id ly , arid its scanty p r o p o r ­t ions leave t h a "human , form d i v i n e . " m u c h exposed t o E g y p t i a n suns , a n d to the gaze of t he t rave l ing p u b l i c ' W e were told in some of these litt le towns tha t there had b^en no rain in the locality for seven years . O n the route we visited many places of interest , and m a n y an­cient r u i n / . o f h igh an t iqu i ty and of m u c h arch i tec tura l and ar t is t ic meri t , but they fell so far below the grea t The-ban w o n d e r s we had j u s t seen, tha t they lacked the interest we there felt, so we will leave them "a lone in their g l o r y " undesenbed . L i k e eve ry th ing else in Etgypt, they have stood the test of t ime and still l o o k o u t upon the modern wor ld from those pr imeval days of which we k n o w not , a n d of which they remain the only m o n u m e n t s .

Assooan, at the foot of the Lower Cat­aract, is & smar t , t r ad ing Arab town of several thousand inhabi tants , bu t l ike the rest, is bu i l t of mud . I t being the carry­ing place of the river, ms.kes it a sor t of port, and the t rade in Ostr ich feathers, N u b i a n , Abyss in ian and Eth iop ian p r o ­duc ts a n d currosities is considerable . T h e A r a b t raders are as smar t jockeys , in the i r l ine , as can be produced in ou r count ry , or any where else. If you don ' t believe it, come and t ry them. After r e ­main ing there over night , unde r the rays of a br ight m o r n i n e sun , we took the usual donkey , dr iven by t he inevi table donkey boy, and rode across a par t of the great desert, six miles, past the Cittar-a ^ to Ihe second level of the Ni le . I t was a splendid r ide, a m o n g the rocks and sands , in t he first sol i tary deser t of the Nub ian count ry . N o house, no people, no vegetat ion, not a green leaf or living t h i n g ; all one dreary waste, unchanged and unchangeable by man or t ime or seasons. Diver l ing from the route a mile or so, we visited the celebrated grani te quarr ies of Syene, from which our Syen­ite takes its name , and from where the great Obelisks, so famous a m o n g the Egypt ian ant iqui t ies were la'ken, and from where m a n y of the great grani te co lumns that now adorn, the capi tals of other countr ies have come. T h e quar ry , if it may so be called, is a s t range forma­t ion; It is more a qua r ry of boulders , than of bedded rock, and the great O b e ­lisk tha t lies there now, par t ly cut , 112 feet long, and 11 feet in diameter , is taken from a boulder . *

T h e Lower Cataract , l ike the Second, and about wh ich there has been so much said and sung, is near ly a m y t h ; it is, in fact, no Catarac t a t all . I t is a rapid of forty feet descent in six miles, tha t vessels, by extra effort go both up and down, at nearly all stages of water . I t is indeed, full of rocks and whir l s * n d tu rns , bu t there is a channel t h a t can be navigated for the whole distance. T h e Romans for a long l ime, were in possession of this count ry , and to read some of the i r old ac­counts of this t r emendous fall, and the thunde r of the waters as tbey p lunged in­to the great dep ths below, one w o u l d suppose our own Niagara a gent le r ipple in comparison. T h e t ru th is, the wr i te rs never saw them, bu t wrote down the tales of the natives that l ived a long the bor­ders, embel l ished wi th all the color ing of oriental imaginat ion . After half a day spent a m o n g the ru ins of the great T e m ­ple of Isis, si tuated on the lovely island o f P h i l a c , at the head of the falls, the first an t iqu i ty of Nub ia , wh ich is reple te wi th the archi tec ture , style, and scu lp ture of the days of Egyp t i an greatness, we again took s teamer, en rou te for the Second Cataract .

Nubia , and the N u b i a n people, differ in many respects from the Egypt ians , and the lower valley of the Nile . T h e c o u n ­try become^ warmer , and the color of the people darker . T h e people, are in fact, to a large ex ten t j e t black, tall, s t ra igh t and wt l l formed, and frequent ly, de­cidedly good locking. T h e chi ldren are general ly handsome, but what we have Baid about c lo th ing below the Cataract , is more than t rue , in N u b i a , chi ldren and those engaged in labor, do not hide them selves behind the rags and cotton caftans that par t ly cover the 'poor of Egypt . T h e young girls general ly wear a short g i rd le of lea ther fr inge. I t being a M o h a m m e ­dan count ry , of course , li t t le is seen of the women , bu t th is is not carr ied to ex­tremes, as in Egyp t .

T h e valley of the Ni le , t h roughou t Nubia , is nar row and comparat ively in­significant. I t is cul t ivated in the very highest degree, and nowhere is water so universal ly d ipped from the river, and dis tr ibuted in perfect floods upon the land as "in the N u b i a n count ry . T h e bot tom lands or fiats, do not , upon an average exceed a half a mile in wid th on each side of the r iver , and I do no t b e ­lieve they will equal two-tl\irds of t h a t ; still, so p roduc t ive are they, and so highly cul t iva ted , tha t they s u p ­por t a large popula t ion. Vil lages, towns a n d hamle t s are seen e v e r y ­where. T h e unva ry ing m u d hovel is the sum total of cons t ruc t ion . L i k e E g y p t the valley is everywhere su r round ed by desert wastes.

T h e passage from the F i r s t to the Second Cataract , inc lud ing the t ime oc-ccupied in a ight-seeing, takes ten days. W e s topped at numerous places to e x a m ­ine old Nub ian ruins . T h e y general ly differ mater ia l ly from E g y p t i a n ant iqui­ties. S t range to say, nearly all the temples and memoria l s t ruc tures are subter ranean, excavated a long the hill sides in the solid rock. W e will only ment ion one which is by far the most interest ing in Nub ia , and scarcely surpassed in many of its features a n v w h e r e . I t is the

GREAT TEMPLE OF ABOOSTNABEL,

on the west bank of the r iver . T h i s w o r k of t he earl iest an t iqu i ty s tands a lone in the moun ta in side, and is excavated more than two h u n d r e d feet deep. T h e front is hewn down in the face of the rock, and moulded wi th a facade of e x ­t raord inary w o r k m a n s h i p . On the sides of the grand por ta l are colossi more famed for skil l of cons t ruc t ion , classic beauty , majesty and d igni ty of p r o p o r ­t ions than perhaps, any other in the world. T h e figures are sixty-six feet in height , in a si t t ing posture, in g r a n d re­lief, from the natural mounta in rock, and w r o u g h t wi th such perfect forms as to seem the very images of man. T h e y are supposed to represent Rameses Second, the greatest of E g y p t i a n Kings . Most of the features remain perfect, t hough they have been subjec t to outs ide exposure , for, be tween three and four thousand years , even the eyes, fingers and toes, still show the finishing mould of the chisel and the beauty of the face seems und imin i shed , the powerful a rm of more than th i r ty feet In height , is still as sound and full as in the age of its comple t ion , T h e g rea t hal l of t he i u -

terior is suppor ted by l ight Osiridc pil­lars, seventeen feet in length , t ha t are not inferior in w o r k m a n s h i p to those of aoy age or count ry . T h e r e are numerous connect ing galleries and rooms that s u r ­round the great cent ra l edifice, filled wi th co lumns , scu lp tu re , pa in t ings a n d w o r k s of art ist ic taste and elegance in every part . T h e s t range fancy tha t caused so m a n y of these sub te r ran ian temples to be bui l t may in a degree be accounted for by the heat of the cl imate and the un i form dry­ness of the a tmosphere . T h e y were cooler, and equal ly as well preserved, as if erected u p o n the surface.

THE SOUTHERN CROSS SUNRISE.

On .etc occasion, we all rose in t he darkness of an Egyp t i an n ight to see t he Sou the rn Cross and a , sunrise in t he desert. T h e darkness was Egyp t i an , and tha t describes itself. After observing the s tar ry cross wi th lantern in hand , each took his way across the plain, and u p the mounta in side. T h e t r a m p was long and tedious, bu t w i n d i n g u p over b roken rocks, and nar row pa thways , we fiu41y reached the s u m m i t so celebrated as the place from which to see an O r i e n ­tal sunrise . Wearied, out of breath , pan t ing , we sat d o w n in g roups a m o n g the rocks, some merry , some sorry, some laughing , some compla in ing , to awai t the event for which we came. W e had arr ived half an hour before the t ime, wh ich was spent In the conversat ion, mer r imen t and jokes tha t na tura l ly arise from such a morn ing effort; and now t h e stil lness is unb roken , each voice is hushed in silence and all s tand still and m o t i o n ­less, as wi th a bound th rough the l ight fleecy clouds tha t veil the eastern hor izon , the sun leaps from the n igh t ; in an In ­s tant each stone and moun ta in peak, that as wi th giant hand , are t h r o w n in wild confusion far a w a y a m o n g the N u b i a n sands are ba thed in go lden l i g h t Even the d is tant desert gives back the spark le o f the morn ing rays. T h e scene is marked and s t r ik ing . W e look to the east

b rough t to the marke t and used in a green state . A n i m a l s are fed wi th it, in th i s way, usual ly for ah/>ut two months , t he rest of the year tbey l ive on straw and the l i t t le p ick ings of beans a n d such other small gra ins as are afforded them. T h e d o n k e y scarcely sees a n y t h i n g bu t s t r aw the year a round .

W e wish to say a few words in c o n ­clusion in relation to the grea t M o h a m -metan Univers i ty here. W e visited it in detajl a few davs since. T h e r e are about twelve thousand s tudents , and not a chair , desk or table In the whole ins t i tu t ion. T h e y all sit on t h e floor i n immense ly large rooms, say 300 by 200 feet, a n d they are packed about -as close together as they can convenient ly sit. T h e y eat, d r i n k and sleep in the same places, and are requ i red to wash and take care of, their o w n clothes. The i r food Is b rough t to them, and they have no beds ; their t e rm of s tudy is from nine to eleven years, and some of the most learned m e n of the world have g radua ted here. T^he s tuden t s u n i v e r ­sally wear the i r t u rbans du r ing the h o u r s of s tudy, and the seja of heads , covered wi th whi te and red, three or four t h o u ­sand in a room, is one of the cur ious s ights of Cairo. Wlhat would ou r college boys t h ink of such a college life, ten years w i t h o u t a table, chair , bed, or knife and fork, and of be ing compel led to s tudy at least twice the hours pe r day required in the comfortable quar te rs of Amer ican ins t i tu t ions .

Korasko , where we s tayed for the n igh t , is one of the principal poin ts from where the grea t ca ravans s tar t for the inter ior African t rade, and here we saw ga thered great quant i t ies of the spicy p roduc t s of the t ropics , ivory, gums , & c , b rough t b y camels from t h e E t h i o p i a n regions of Cent ra l Africa. F r o m this point , s t o p ­p ing as usual , from t ime to t ime, we went to W a d y Half ah at the foot of the Second Cataract , wh ich l ike the float, as a Cataract , is a m y t h ; there Is indeed a rapid , seven miles in length , and a descent of thir ty-five feet, navigable , w i th t h e proper efforts a t all t imes. T h e r e is now a rail­road in process of cons t ruc t ion from the foot of this rap id , in to the uppe r count ry , that , when the money can be raised, will be made, three or four h u n ­dred miles above . W e stayed a t W a d y Half ah for two days , a n d then started upon our re turn voyage. N o t h i n g of marked interest occurred till we r e a d i e d the L o w e r C a t a r a c t W e had made the passage of t he anc ien t r iver

and were full of satisfaction with all we had seen and accompl i shed; perfect c o n ­ten tmen t m a d e our re turn a reminiscence of our immedia te past, full of pleasing memories . A t Piiilse, near the Fi rs t Cataract , we stayed three days. T h i s is the loveliest point on the N i l e ; Ihe scenery is both g rand and beautiful , and the l i t t le N u b i a n vil lage, wi th its numer­ous groves of pa lms , its mosque and slender minare ts , the beautful island, with its temple of Isis, the Cataract , add s u r r o u n d i n g desert , full of rocky hills and cones tha t rise a m o n g the yel low sands , l ike P y r a m i d s of na ture , lend unusua l cha rms t o m a k e the spot p i c ­turesque a n d ' del ightful . D u r i n g ou r slay, we saw the N u b i a n feat of shoot ing the Cata rac t ; it is a sort of amphib ious exploit . T h r e e or four nat ives in na­t ive cos tume j^o in to the r iver at the head of th.e great rapid, m o u n t shor t logs and begin the whi r l ing , d i zzy ­ing flight of dash ing th rough to the lower end. T h e vo lume of water is immense , the bot tom rocky, the descent rapid , and the surgioar of the wate r breaks the s u r ­face into foam, waves and such leaping, bound ing i rregular i t ies tha t it would seem impossible to m a k e the passage as they do and l ive ; still they t ake the r isk for half a franc twen ty t imes a day. I t is surpr is ing to see how they rise at every point of danger and seem to leap wi th the h ighes t surges of t he water among the cloud of spray t h a t cons tan t ly envelopes them. I t was a s ight intensely in te res t ­ing. The i r black forms amid the br ight waters , b o u n d i n g here and there and everywhere , seemed lost a h u n d r e d t imes, bu t on they went, u p and down , burled and in the air till they reached the foot in safety. W e saw them perform the feat several l imes.

W h i l e here we met several N e w York friends go ing u p the r iver in dahabishs .

T h e en te r ta inment l i ke m a n y Ni le recept ions was on the deck bf t he s teamer, protected by canvass. T h e General seemed to be enjoying his t r ip in the highest degree; he said his heal th was never better, and he cer tainly looked hear ty and strong.

One of the most e legant recept ions t end ered to the General and Mrs. Gran t while abroad, was given by J u d g e and Mrs. Batchel ler at their fine residence in Cairo.

" Y o u have turned ou t a good m a n y in­ventions, Mr. E d i s o n ? " *

" Y e s , " he answers , w i t h ^ ^ i c ' r e i plible western twang in his s p e e ^ ^ T ' T v e made some mach ines ; bu t this is my baby , " pa t t ing the speak ing phonograph and tak ing a chair before it, "arid I expect it to grow u p and be a big feller and s u p por t me in m y old age ."

Here is a s tory character is t ic of his m e t h o d s : I n the deve lopmen t of the au tomat ic te legraph, it became necessary to have a so lu t ion tha t would give a chemical ly prepared paper upon which the characters could be recorded at a speed greater than t w o h u n d r e d words a minu te . The re were n u m e r o u s solut ions in F r e n c h books, bu t nolle of them enabled h im to exceed that rate. But he had invented a machine that wou ld ex-f ceed it, a n d mus t have the paper I match the machiine. " I came in on n i g h t , " Johnson , aiu associate of Edison,' says fa) the Qraphiq,"iiw\ there sat Edison with \ pile of Chemistr ies and chemica l booEs l i ia t were fi«e feet high when they stood on the floor laid one upon the o ther .

time of abstracts , made 2,000 exper iments on the formulas and had produced asolu* t ion—the only one in the wor ld—tha t would do Ihe very th ing t h a t he wanted done—record over;200 words a minu te on a wi ie 250 miles long. He has since suc­ceeded in record ing pe rmanen t ly thir ty-one hundred (3,TOO) words a minule* T h i s s ta tement will b« doubted by the incredulous , but I have seen it done "

Those who have worked with him b e ­lieve tha t he can evolve from his ow*i brain any invent ion required.

" D o e s he k n o w wha t is in al! of those 3,000 vials on his shelves ?" inqui red the Graphic. " T h a t he does , " was the reply . ! " H e bough t t hem all himself. W h e n ­ever he hears of a n e w COPJpound be i m ­mediate ly orders it t for he does not know how soon he may need i t . "

Edison has studied as t ronomy, also, and, in conjunct ion wi th Professor Lang ley , of Al leghany Univers i ty , i8| now engaged in devis ing improvemen t s tn the telescope.

" Y o u may say this for m e , " says E d ­ward H. J o h n s o n , an associate of Ed ison , "a f te r a long and in t imate acquain tance , I allege that Edison is one of the fairest and squares t m e n I ever k n e w . He is perfectly honest , and the men w h o are t ry ing to avail themselves of his ingenui ty by s lander ing h im will be exposed a n d bea ten . "

T h o m a s A. Ed i son was born in Milan, Er ie Counly , Ohio, F e b r u a r y 11th, 1847, and therefore Is ; now only thirty-one) years of age.

" H o w m a n y patents have you t aken ou t ?" I asked him t o d a y .

" I don ' t exact ly k n o w , " he said, and went to his book-keeper lo ascertain.

" T h a t one received to d a y , " said that funct ionary, " m a k e s 157 pa ten ts , and 77 more have l>een appl ied for a n d are pend~ ing in Wash ing ton . "

" Y o u unde r s t and , " said Mr. Edison, " tha t not more than ten of these is of any real practical value, T h e rest are obtained for the purpose of protect ion. Not more than ten or fifteen of my pa ten ts are wor th any th ing except to prevent s o m e ­body from s tea l ing the res t . T h i s pho-nograph, for ins tance—I shall have to take out a dozen pa ten t s to defend it. 1 sljall get a pa ten t on every k ind of p h o ­nograph I can th ink of."

W h e n Edison is in the throes of inven­tion he scarcely sleeps at all Somet imes he does not go to his house for four or five days, t hough it is wi th in th i r ty r.ids. They seod him his meats at such t imes, for he has no t yet discovered any method for get t ing a long wi thou t food. " F o r ten years , " Mr. Johnson says, " h e hss averaged eighteen hours a day. I have worked with h im for three consecui ive mon ths , all day and all n ight , except ca tch ing a little sleep between six and nine in the m o r n i n g . "

Mr. Edison Is the or iginator of the e lec t ro-motogrsph, for which he received the e igh th pa ten t issued by the Uni ted States for original d i scovery ; and is the inventor of the Amer ican distr ict tele­g raph (the messenger service), the stock reporter , the au tomat ic system, the Chemical recorder , the R o m a n le t ter pr in t ing te legraph, the celebrated quad-rnplex system, on which the Western Union pays h im a large royal ty, the speak ing te lephone, and the electr ic pen for dup l ica t ing let ters and circulars , of which 18,000 are now in use.

Mr. Spalding said he didn't hear of anybody dying now worth a million of dollars without Bomebody proposing at once to Contest the will, no matter of how clear, and sound, and dispos­ing mind the testator may have been. The lawyers divide with the Surrogate and with each other, and they dissipate the estate by taking from the Surrogate allowances to pay for their services in contesting.

• e Itfryal t o \ o o r L o c a l P a p e r . T h e Rochester Democrat offers some

suggest ions on the subject of sus ta in ing newspapers which Embodies m u c h good sense: . }

W e k n o w of n o impropr ie ty less jus t i ­fiable than the ceaseless finding fault w i th o n i ' s local paper . W e do not p u r ­pose di#cussing the difficulties unde r wh ich a newspaper is prepared , nor do w e in tend to lay d o w n rules b y which one m a y j u d g e w h e t h e r or not a paper is wor thy the pa t ronage of its cons t i tuents One t h i n g is ce r t a in ; t he world wou ld be a dreadful dreary place were the local newspapers sudden ly to die ont . T h e Amer ican people, w e verir^r believe, would actual ly become wild if all n e w s ­papers shou ld cease publ ica t ion for • twe lvemonth . T h e r e are many thousand newspapers in the land, bu t by no mean* as m a n y as there shall be fifty years hence T h e press is a recognised necessity. T h e d a m p , fresh sheet laid da l ly or weekly at your doors gives you the world in minia ture . Y o u read i ts comely co lumns , and feel the pulsat ions of the migli iy mass of humani ty , and become en rapport with all i ts movements . Some people are all too p rone to deprecia te their own local papers and magnify the meri ts of o u t - o f - t o w n newspapers . As a rule t he local newspaper is as good a paper as the c o m m u n i t y in which it is publ ished wil l suppor t . Occasional ly we find citiet-and villages which a te not proper ly taken ca re of by thei r papers , bu t in th i s day of fiero® compet i t ion , there are a lways those s t and ing ready wi th the requis i te brains a n d capi ta l to fill " w a n t s long fe l t ," and if people will subscr ibe ana p a y for a good paper , they can a lways be accommoda ted wi th a pr ime art icle. W e d o no t respect .a person who ei ther h im self speaks or pe rmi t s o thers t o speak s l ight ingly of a local newspaper . C i t i ­zens have a cer ta in obligat ion in th i s mat ter as well as publ ishers . I r tS the i r dutv to be loyal to t he press, and to sustain ii in all t h a t it does which Is not prejudicia l to t h e best interests of the c o m m u n i t y . T h e r e is scarcely a c i ty in N e w YTork state that has not excel lent newspapere , and those communi t i e s wh ich best susta in a local press b y advert is­ing and subscr ip t ions , as a rule . have the most en te rpr i s ing and readable papers . Pe rhaps there is no par t of th« con t inen t bet ter provided wi th newspa pers than Wes te rn N e w York . Besides the dail ies of Rochester , Buffalo, L o c k -port , E lmi ra , B inghamton and A u b u r n — all of them of more than ord inary meri t , and some of them wi thou t super iors a n y ­whe re—wha t bet ter- toned, better-edited, bot ter-patronieed weekl ies can anywhere be found than are publ ished in the state in general and its western w i n g in p a r ­t icular f Our people read much , they have *xcellent d i scr imina t ion ; the i r s tandard of a good newspaper is high and all] t h ings considered, they have n<> Sufficient cause of compla in t tha t theii desires ^ r e not fai thfully responded to bv publ ishers . " T h e surv iva l of t he fittest" obtains; in newspapers as in the deve lop ­ment of species, and every town and city will haire j u s t such papers as It is wil l ing and giken an oppo r tun i t y to pay for. Encounage publ i shers b y y o u r pa t ron age—n#t as a char i ty , dear air, for you alwayejget more than you give—always speak a good word for y o u r papers , a n d you wi | l never have yourselves to b lame if t he lfcal press does not meet y o u r e x ­pectat ions and desires.
