"With our de partnre from Athens it seemed to me as if tee had left civilization behind. The experi ence was a sorry one; to exchange the bright end gay capital of Greece and the friends we had found there for the overcrowded tteamer which conveyed us to Alexandria. There is but one line of steamers between Greece and Ejypt. It is known as the Egyptian Packet Steamship Company's line. There being no choice in the matter, Alexandria having to be reached, we took the steamer Chatkieh from Piraus, which is the harbor of Athens and a place of consid erably over 20,000 inhabitants. The ship was so crowded with passengers thatonr party was compelled to divide up, some members of it beiug obliged to travel, as far as sleeping accommodations were concerned, as second class passengers. An Egyptian Pasha aboard had five of his wives along, and for their exclusive comfort and conveni ence had hired the entire ladies' saloon and dressing room, putting others to distressing inconvenience. Arabs crowded the decks. Among them was a sheik very noticeable anywhere; he had a keen eye and a commanding look. Ashore he is at the head of a force of 15,000 men; at sea he is surely the hSast devout of Mussulmans. He was nearly always en gaged in prayer, or in the ablutions prelim inary and proper to this pioas exercise. Dr. Talmare was greatly impressed with the unabashed absorption of the followers of Mahomet in their practice of the dnties prescribed for them in the Koran. He ex pressed himseh as of the opinion that not 1 in 100,000 Christians would venture in pub lic places with scores of spectators and un der so undue pressure from exceptional cir cumstances to thus openly demonstrate his religious faith. We survived the voyage to Alexandria, and will ever retain a strong impression of what it Is to live two days in close contact with Arabs, pent up in nar row quarters, trying vainly to rest on miser able beds, and beiug obliged to consume food and drink far from, our.likinjr. A PLEASANT CHANGE. "We stopped at Alexandria two hours pur suing our way to Cairo with only this in considerable break in the jonrney. How ever, we did manage while at Alexandria to eat a substantial breakfast, to see Pompey's Pillar, and to drive over to the palace "of the Khedive. His Highness was at Cairo, and we did not see him. We were taken through the beautitnl palace gardens, which were in inll blossom; and ate frnit from the trees, while an attendant made bouquets of roses for the ladies of the party. As a mat ter of course, we did not fail to note street scenes in this great city of 200,000 inhabi tants. The houses, most of them, are such as Arabs erect everywhere. Bazor-backed donkeys, attended by half-clad jabbering urchins, awaited fare. People were oddly dressed, the men in the wide baggy trousers everywhere a feature of the Orient. "Women's apparel consisted of loose blue jean gowns, black head capes and veils either black or white, held in position, oddly enough by bamboo sticks. Very ancient looking were the buffalo carts and the water wheels served by men or their faithful servants, the buffalo and the donkey. Dust was everywhere too abun dant. Our most delirhtful reminiscence of Alexandria is of its gardens. "We arrived at Cairo on the evening of November 26,;all Dretty well fagged out.and more than ready for tbe really superb ac commodations awaiting us. "We found our hotel surrounded by a garden which flour ished in tropical luxuriance. What was more to tbe purpose an excellent dinner awaited our attention, and comfortable beds the occupancy of people who never needed them more. The hotel was a sur prisingly good one. I think I should not exaggerate in describing it as equal to the best in Kew York, bnt the management was not equal to the task of excluding from it flies and mosquitoes. Fleas are an Egyptian pest of which no more need be said. TALMAGE TAKES NOTES. In the morning we all met at the breakfast table greatly relreshed. Alter breakfast we visited the Boulak Museum, where are the mummies of many ancient kings of Egypt, including the one (Menephtha) who had a disastrous series ot interviews with Hoses. Dr. Talmage stood before "this imperish able type of evanescence" at least 20 min utes inspecting it and inakinc notes in his Bible.. This, by the way, is his com panion on every expedition. From the museum we went to the place whither Mary and Joseph are said to have fled with tbe child Jesus to escape the wrath of Herod. The identity of the spot seems to be well authenticated and is ac cepted by many ot the most learned students of the age. Here for the first time we set foot on holy ground. Dr. Talmage re moved his hat and with head uncovered flood a le'w moments in silent meditation. "My visit here shall formhe subiect of the first chapter of my lireof Christ,"" said he. "Why others have passed this scene over entirely or touched lightly upon it I cannot say; but to me it is one of the most sacred spots on tarth." After examining it thor oughly we left it to return to the hotel; but about 15 minutes later Dr. Talmage insisted on going back to it at once saying "I must see it again and must see it now." So back we went and a new inspection was begun, in the course of which Drl Talmace drew over his shoes a pair of rough, heavy sandals, and stepping down into the water that cov ered the ground, he carefully took the dimensions of the place, the girth of the pillars and their distance from each other. He then drew a diagram so true, as it ap peared to me, that it would have done credit to an architect Having finished this he said: "I have see u all I care to see to day; I shall not leave the house again until to-morrow." But rest he was not able to take. A GOOD 'WOMAN'S FU2TEEAL. On his return to the hotel he found there the notice of a funeral to take place at 3 p. V., from the American Mission Church at Cairo, the wife of Prof. G. Lansing, an American scholar of note, eminent Egypt ologist and clergyman, having died the day beiore after active service fn this mission field of over 32 years. Prof. Lansing being an old friend ot Dr. Talmage, tbe Brooklyn orator attended the funeral with Mr.Eugene Dcnuyier, me .American ittnsui at Uairo, Wilson Bey and Dr. Grant, of Scotland. The body, clad in white, lay in front of the pulpit; a congregation had assembled, about 700 in number. People were divided into three sections; on the one side sat the women with veiled faces, bitterly weeping; on the other side sat the men in tbeir national garb of flowing robes, girdled at the waist and wearing the turban, while the center aisie was occupied oy foreign, ers. Every seat was taken and? the entire audience was deeply affected. The services were in both Arabic and Englich. At the request of the family Dr. Talmage took part in them. In the course of his re narks he expressed the sympathy of the entire American church. The name of Lansing, he said, had for years been synonymous with scholarship and Christian consecration. Tens of thousands of hearts in America would bleed at the news of this good woman's departure. For 32 years bad she, far from her native land, been toiling for the elevation of a race so different from her own in feature, in color, in customs, in habits, that nothing bat an entirely unset sh lore could have inspired her. As Dr. i Talmage alluded to her gentle Bad Ion; continued ministrations, loud weeping fre quently interrupted him, The scene was most impressive. PEOPHECIE3 TDLHLLED. Early the next day wo started for the Pyramids, which we reached after a three hours' trip. Dr. Talmage insisted on climbing to the top of the great pyramid of Cheops, called Ghizeh. In this tbe whole Sarty joined him, and with the aid ot 12 ragomen and tiro boys who carried drink ing water, we ascended the pyramid, climb ing or being pushed up as occasion required. We made the ascent in 20 minutes. Upon our descent we partook oi a substantial lunch we had carried with us from Cairo, and proceeded to interview the Sphinx, which has stared stonily at the desert for uncounted years. The next morning we sailed up the Nile on a dainty little steam launch. Dr. Tal mage, Bible in hand, read the prophecies concerning Egypt and pointed out what ap peared to his mind evidences of their fulfill ment. About noon we reached Memphis. with its ancient ruins, includingthe palaces of the Pharaohs. Here- we mounted don keys for the first time, and amid considera ble merriment, surrounded by a hundred or more natives, these clad more or less, par ticularly less. After a while the doctor grew very tired of his donkey, and decided" to substitute a camel tor him. No one who has not seen a camel walk can understand the ludicrous figure the illustrious preacher cut on that awkward creature's back. Tirst he was jogged forward, then he fell back ward, and found the just position only to have his nose tossed violently against the curious saddle that forms part of a camel's outfit. He looked so inexpressibly comical mat we wnissen ont our iloaacs in a J illy, and before he could straighten out the broad grin with which he tried to cover hit em barrassment, it was immortalized. To make my story short, the necessity being immi nent to save my illustrious friend from sea sickness for isn't the camel the ship of the desert? the owner of tbe brute tickled it on the knee of one of its forelezs. Down it went on them. He then scratched its hind legs with the same effect, thns bringing the animal's body on a level with the sand, which enabled tbe doctor to alight in time to avoid a catastrophe much better not described.

Spencer & Llddell Will Doable Their CnpncItT and Blake Other Changes. Another brewery in Pittsburg is to be en larged and greatly improved. Spencer & Liddell's brewery, between Twenty-tourth and Twenty-fifth Streets, on Smallman street, are going to make considerable alter ations. The firm can only brew abont 66,000 bar rels of beer a year. Their orders, however, are largely over that figure, hut they can not supply the orders. It hap for some time past been under the consideration of the firm to increase their capacity, so that they can brew enongh beer to fill their orders. There is a negotiation going on between Mr. Liddell and the owners of some property lying in the rear on the west side of their brcwerv. If the firm obtain this property they will make a large annex. It is in tended to double the brewery capacity, and increase their storage facilities. They will build a new malt house and en gine house. A new direct freezing engine will be put in at a cost of $30,000. There are now some four miles of pipes in the brewery, but when the storage room has been increased it will take at least another two miles to Keep the place cool. Where there is a weakness of the throat or lungs, a cold neglected may be all that is required to establish a lingering and gener ally fatal disease. Even where there is no special tendency to bronchial or pulmonary trouble, a severe cold, left to take care of itself, often plants the seeds of a serious complaint, sure to he developed by subse quent indiscretions. Take especial care of your health, therefore, from the very earliest symptoms of a cough or cold, by prudently resorting to Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, which will soothe and strengthen the bronchial tubes, allay inflammation and cleanse them and tbe lungs of all irritating substances. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. Attention, Landlords!

THE SINGING VOICE, its at tributes and its training, is the subject of an artiole written for to morrow's DISPATCH by Simeoa BteselL YEARNING FOR LOTE. The Gift Without the Giver Little Value. is of WHAT IS EFFECTUAL PRAYER? It Must la United and Definite, or Ho Suc cess is Promised. JiOTES OP INTEBEST IN CHDECH WOKE True charity not alone consists in bestow ing our money upon those who are in need. It reaches far out and beyond this limited idea. The past year has demonstrated that the people of the "United States are ready and willing to help when dire distress visits a community, and with no stinted hand. To this display of sympathy for the distressed we truly can say, "Well done." Yet, after all this, there is a still more necessary kind oi sympathy that it would be well for ns to cultivate during the New Year. The Prtsbyterian Banner wisely says that affection in the heart is the explanation ot the brightness and hearty cheer of one class of households, while the absence of any indi cation of its presence is the potent causa ot tbe coldness and indifference in another class. Of tener than is generally supposed families are miserable and wrecked because the demand of the heart for some exDression of love u not answered. We take up a morning newspaper and notice a report of the suicide of a young girl. The reporter wonders, saying: "Her mother had slaved to give her every advantage, and after her return from school would not let her work; wonld bear all the burdens herself to let the daughter havo (enjoy) ber reading, music, etc. What cause for her death could there bave beenT" Ah, the poor mother sadly mistook, "Tbe gift without the giver is bare, Not what we give, but what we share" has the blessing in it. Tbe daughter needed sympathy, companionship, love, and was put off to be satisfied with ease. Or perhans It is the daughter of a man of wealth, surrounded seemingly by everything that one could wish, who leaves ber luxurious home' to go off with her father's coachman! Or perhaps a wife forsakes her home ancj husband. Is it not still tbe craving for affection, for some one to love berT Not merely tbe practical love that provides for her wants, bat tho sweet tenderness and sympathy in ber Interests and desires, and the privilege of sharing the thoughts and plans of father or husband. More Interest shown on the part of the wife, softer words, a smile once in a while would have kept the husband from being led astray in seeking this which he did not receive from his, own. It is worthy of consideration whether the ab sence of any exhibition of personal Interest and sympathy is not tbe cause of failure in other lines. Much work for the masses fails b ecause people do not want to be taken as a mass. Each one yearns for recognition, no matter how rough or repeliant their manners. The politician recognizes this, and greets those whose votes he wants individually, and calls him "brother." Many Christian people wonder that the re ligion of Christ does not permeate all society. Is it not because they do not by practice carry out its'dirine precepts in this respect? . Retrace the months what hast thou done The youth around thee to improve? W hat, through the year whose course has ran. To win them to a bavior's lovel Has kind instruction been distilled From morning's dawn till evening's shade? r ere hours of relaxation ailed W 1th usefulness that ne'er betrayed? . Has discipline held fast the rein With nrudent, firm, yet gentle hand, Those infant Tlces to restrain That sought thy counsel to withstand? Look back, my sonl, impartial trace. The scenes of the departed year Implore forgiveness, seek for grace. And Heaven In mercy heed thy prayer. The Week of Prayer. The Evangelical Alliance has branches in Great Britain, tbe United States, Canada, New Brunswick, France, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Spain, Turkey, Greece, Syria, Egypt, Africa, Japan and China. The address issued by tho officers of theso branches says: "We invite you again to make this beginning f the year "holy unto the Lord' by united p: raise, prayer, supplication and thanksgiving, that so a sanctifying power may pass over the whole year. We would invite you to avoid all uncer tain sound, and to be very definite in four things that underlie our united prayers: "First In recognizing and confessing the great needs which are increasingly apparent in single believers, tho whole living church and the world. Let failure in the past be acknowl edged, not to be condoned, but to be done with. "Second In discerning and applying the sure provision in God's word, adapted to supply those needs to the full. There remaineth very much of this inheritance to be possessed. "Third In apprehending and takme hold of the covenant oi God, and the conditions and terms under which its blessings are granted. "Fourth In expecting and watching for the exact answers of grace, that such continuous thanksgiving may arise from our hearts as shall honor God and make the humble rejoice."

The act was approved Aprjl 3, 1837, and authorized the "Birmingham Bridge and Road Company" to build a turnpike from the north end of Senman (now South Twelfth street) to intersect the Monongahela and Coal Hill road. It further authorized the company to build a bridge over the Monon gahela river, but did not specify a point at which the bridge should be built. In con nection with the bridge, laws were made by tbe act for its constrnction and maintenance, and Section 10 provided that as soon after the expiration of 40 years from date as the cost of construction had been realized from tolls, and the stockholders had been reimbursed from the earnings of the company, and the stock ol the company paid 12 per centon the nvestment in any one year, then the bridge should be made free and no tolls should he collected, except such slight amounts as might be necessary to keep the bridge in repair, i It PATS BIO INTEKEST. Mr. Nisbet stated that be had information from good authority that tbe bridge in ques tion had been paying over 12 per cent on its stock, and be saw no Teason why the city should not proceed at once to declare tbe bridge free. The clerk was instructed to read th? act, which covered many pages, for the benefit of the committee, but he had not proceeded far until Mr. Monro thought he saw where the act did not apply to the present Tenth street bridge at all, as the act related to JJenman street (now xwelltb), and it was unlikely that the company would build a bridge on Tenth street aud their turnpike on Twelttb. The City Attorney's library of State laws was then referred to for light on the subject and while Mr. Monro and Mr. Kisbet were busily engaged in looking the 'matter up,' the committee adjourned until they were were ready to report, first appointing Mr. Monro a-member of the sub-committee on information to secure his services in the matter. HUNTING UP HI3IOET. When the balance of the committee with drew Messrs. Nisbet and Monro continued their search for information, with the result that in half an hoar's time they found their free bridge, in so far as it related to the South Tenth street structure, was beyond the range of vision. Mr. Kisbet was very much depressed by the result of the search, for he had fully convinced himself that he had lound a solution to the question of one free bridge at least He says he will now devote his research to some other bridge history. The history of the Tenth street bridge, as gleaned by the gentlemen, was as follows: The original act passed in 1837 authorized the company to build a turnpike road, to build a bridge whenever they purchased the ground ' necessary .for abutments. From 1837 to 1863 nothing was done, but on February 22 of that year in order to prevent "the loss of their franchise by reason of inactivity, they got a supplementary act passed reviving the company. Two months afterward another supplement was passed repealing the sec tion relating to the building of a turnpike and changing the name of the company to the Pittsburg and Birmingham Bridge Com pany. A NTJMBEB OP ACTS PASSED. On April 21, 1854, a' supplement was passed authorizing the company to borrow money to proceed with the construction of a bridge. In 1856 an act was passed binding the bridge to the provisions of the original act with the exception of the tnrnpike clause, and binding them to the other pro visions that had been repealed incidentally with tbe passage ot the other supplements. On April 21, 1857, an act was passed locating the south abutment of the bridge at the foot of McEee (now South Tenth street) and repealing that part of tbe original act which related to making the bridge free. A little later the north abutment of the bridge was located at the foot of Cross street, the street which leads to the bridge from Second avenue. The act of '56, together with several other acts and supplements relating to this bridge, wiped out all the provisions of tbe original act calculated for tbe public benefit, or as ,Mr. Monro said, the Legislature repealed 'everything in the original act that was in any way inimical to the bridge company's interests, nnd but for the legislative inter ference Pittsburg might soon be enjoying the privilege of free passage over the South Tenth street bridge.
