She . first trip through the Suez Canal
ENTRIIINO THE CANA7, i 4:44".NSATION, '
We are under way in the , `Peluso at fi ; at
10 we' enter the canal—the ninth ship in the
To-day's sole celebration is to be the
passaee of the ships—so many as can pass—
fioni 'ortsaid to Isrilailiti. There were tope
/ 0 ; be-who knows how many.?
• likelareto.yrinthat the entering into the
canal is a sensation for a life-time. In itself
it is a simple matter—what could be simpler
than the ; mere passing of iv line of ships through
a canal ! .Yes,..but this is the canal. This is
the realization of the dreams - of thirtySi.x 'cen
turies. We arecrossingthe track of innumer
able armies. We - are accomplishing a problem
long believed insoluble. We have witnessed
only yesterday aide which contradicts every
tradition of the East. We are on the eve - of
an event which is to revolutionize the com
merce of the world. Well, how do we meet
such a moment ? For the first moments in a
dazed, wondering, half incredulous silence.
Great events break slowly on the mind. No
voyager, entering with adventurous keel on un
known seas, has a more thrilling sensation of
ttovelty, - of the. ;unforeseen, than we. • Experi
mental ships have gone before us; ourr going
is, a triumphal progress, as we hope, a proof to
the world that the Suez Canal is no longer a
problem.
, At the entrance rise two red obelisks; by no
means of Pompey or Cleopatra—nothing so
old, so venerable as they. Commerce, in its .
practical way, builds over two obelisks of pine
boards and canvas, paints them red, and sets
them at the mouth of the Canal, solely for the
guidance of ships that mean to enter therein.
-,SAIXTING 'fru: mum' AKE AND IH
We: alute the obelisks' ; not for what they
are, but for what they mean. 1 don't know
what cheers went ringing out from the deck of
the Aigle. I hope they were resonant and sin,
sere. From the deck of the Muse I can an
swer
they. Were. We swung our hats into the
air; the feW Anglo-Saxons among us cheered
as 'Angle-Saxons know how to cheer; the
FrenehMen did what they could in that way.
Amer* the least religious there, sprung up sud,
denlY a kind of religions sentiment, or what
might pass for such. Pent-up enthusiasm broke
loose. We had waited hours, we had been
listenin g toall sorts of rumors,' we had almost
doubted, and now there was room for no doubt.
The keel of our ship had entered the desert.
This century has known great enterprises, but
the Suez Canal is unique, and the Most thought
less becoines thoughtful as he sees with his own
eyes the long pathway of water dividing the
desert, and finds the problem that has baffled
thirty-six centuries solved at last in the nine
teenth after Christ.
If the splendors of Port Said yesterday were
theatrical and imported, the spectacle of to-day
is genuine and Oriental. To the right spreads
Lake Henzaleh, reaching all the way to the
horizon, a desolate waste of water. To the
left a more desolate waste of sand ending in
the ocean that we leave behind us;
soon it be
comes water on both sides, with strips of sand
rising out of it here and there. As far .as one
can see the canal goes straight as an arrow
through the lakeso straight that the masts of
the eight shipsbefore us are as the masts of one.
We steam slowly, not more than six miles an
hour, for one of the anticipated difficulties of
the canal is the erosion of .the banks by the
waves and wash of the ships, and we go feeling
our way as cautiously as if the canal were
some delicate fabric that would not bear rough
handling. But there is no wave. The ships
ahead leave no trace of their passage, the
waters' closing after them and the banks
marked by scarcely a ripple. Between every
two .ships the interval is one kilometre—five
eighths of a mile—at starting, but before long
becomes reduced, and we come at times in
pretty close order.
Each successive ship had taken so much
• time in getting out of its narrow berth and un
der way that the Aigle and her consort . were
far ahead when we entered, already involved
in the,desert far South of Port Said. All the
more the sense of solitude impressed itself on
ms, the feeling that our passage into this silent
space was an intrusion, which the genius of
the place—and the genius of the desert is a
powerful fellow—might at any moment resent.
But we steamed on.
THE LATE CANAL—FLA MING OES.
As the lake Meioses us on both sides, alnost
singular feature of the canal strikes us. Not
only the channel but the banks are carried
through the lake. There are the low ridges of
sand on either side of us, just as if they were
the edges of the land, but there is no land. I had
supposed that in the lake . a channel had been
merely deepened and was marked with buoys.
Elsewhere this has been done, but here it was
found impossible. The mud at the bottom was
so liquid that the excavation filled as fast as it
could be made, and for a time , the engineers
despaire(L At last they hit' on the idea of
-heaping up the banks under water, instead of
carrying off the mud as it was scooped up.
When these banks rose above the surface they
dried by evaporation, and hardened in the situ ;
a crust was formed that resisted winds and
water, and so the canal through Lake Men
zaleh, which stretches forty kilometers south,
became possible. The effect on the canal thus
passing through is singular in the extremeas
if the . engineers had sought to convince the
eye by those long lines of sand.
Front the deck of the Peluse we sought for
movelties,andlad_ not__ longto wait., . if& _a
mile to-the right-of us rose a myriad of flamin
goes, incomparably brilliant with their scarlet
plumage showing in their flight; then settling
into the water and hiding the scarlet behind
white and dull gray. l'ho day was perfect ;
apparently the weather at this season is al ways
perfect, and it was not long before the miracle
of the desert, the mirage, spread its imaginary
waters along :the borrizon.
The first station, 15 kilometers, was reached
in an hour and three-quarters. At this rate, if
all goes well, we ought to reach Ismailia be
fore dark. Whether we do or not does not
much matter, for the fête and the ball are put
°fain to-morrow, but we want to get. on if
only to prove that we run get on. In the ex
hilaration and excitement of this morning we
are all partisans, and since we have been in the
canal we have banished all doubts about its
complete success. They were destined to be
revived—not doubts tif success, but doubts of
complete success at this moment. For near
Eantara we passed an Egyptian corvette, the
Latif, anchored close against the bank. She
was not one of the ships of our procession, as
weat 'first thought. The Latif had been sent
into the canal previously, to settle the question
whether the heavy ships in Fort Said har
bor could or Could not enter to-day. She had
settled it by sticking fast in the mud, and
bad been got out of mid-channel and, hauled
alongside the bank, with no littler difficulty.
_l_don't_know what her (fraught is, but it can
not be much more than ours. The
Peluse is.drawing 11l feet :1 inches, and is, I
believe, the deepest ship of the whole squadron.
The order of ships is, Ist; the Aigle, with the
• French Empress on board ; 2d; the Von Grafi;
with the Austrian Emperor ; :1(1, the Prince of
Prussia, with her namesake ; 4th, the Dutch
frigate carrying the Prince and Princess of
Holland ; sth, an Austrian ship with aui
Austrian archduke and sundry grand per
sonages. ; tsth, the Psyche carrying the English
Embassador at Constantinople, Mr. Ellict,
withibis suite and some English guests of dis
tinction; '7th, not known to me; Sth, a Rus
sian ship with Gen. Ignatieff, Russian Embas-.
trador at Constantinople, suite; and guests ; oth,
the Peluse,of the Messageries Imperiales, with
the administration of the Canal Company, and
the guests this morning sent on board from
the Guierine ; 10th, an Englishman of some
sort ; 11th, a ship or the Austrian Lloyds;
12th, a French corvette, and
.so on, There
are , a dozen moria that ~started after us, but
nonetiof them, I think, interesting to anybody
except thoseen board.

ENTHUSIASM CON TINUED.
Kantarai'4s kilometers south of Port Said,
was reached at half-past two, four hours and a
half, a little more than six miles an hour.
Pilo4captahr, officers; and all 'of-us . cannot
help feelingA ,of !surprise t oo t have
dove-go Well ;=2 ..T.B6;.strOngesK_bellever
canal Confessed One's faculties iti
a state of continual amazement, a wonder
that has grown into admiration. There are
old travelers • among us, used to all sorts of
sensations, familiar, with all that is strangest.
Well, it.is the oldest travelers whose .delight
and surprise' are freShest to-day. Vast of our'
passengers are Frenchnot half a dozen Eng
lish and Americans together on board the
Peluse. The flow of talk on the 'hurricane*,
deck Is itself something wonderful, and the
French' talent for gestienlation never
veloped itself more fully: The exclamations
and picturesque inteirctious with which that
tongue abounds are' exhausted before the day
is half over, and our :nimble-tongued Gauls
are occasionally reduced , to the condition; of
the Celebrated swearer who' 'on one occasion
took refuge hi silence because be despaired of
finding an oath expressive enough. I for
part despair of conveyipg to' you the iMPres
sion which : this voyage through the desert
made upon me, and upon all of us.
Beyond Kantara the scene. changes. We
leave the lake, and the canal pierces straight
through the earth—straight, with . here and
there an unaccountable bend, which the com
pany's draughtsman haS not thought it worth
while to record on theirpublished chart. Mere
and there the :scientific turn of the French
mind has got the better of the practical.
They seem to have thought it enough to keep
within the limits of what was mathematically
possible, careless of the inconvenience and
risk which a sailor would have avoided at all
hazards; of curves around which long ships
must be taken. We it out to .our cost
before the day ends; For the iirst time after
Passing -Kantara there are traces of vegetation;
the low sand-hillg lift against the sky, and at
last one grows blue like a distant mountain.
There is another high enough to take the
color of the sly; it is the dark hue of the sell.
But it is a hill, broken and blue. : ,
THE DIIEDOES.
And there are the Dredges, the huge ma
chines which have hollowed out the canal,
curiously grotesque at a distance, often re
sembling suspension railway bridges so closely
that a mile or two away you are convinced
you will pass beneath them, and hear. the
rumble of the train overhead. But you do
not. The machines are so gigantic and of
such ingenuity and strength in construction
that they deserve a letter to themselves—but
not to-day. The workmen are mounted on
the tops of them, fifty feet aboVe our heads as
We stand on the upper deck of our ship. The
cheers they gave us, and which we returned,
hat in band, were not the least pleasant feature
of the day. There was nothing, or next to
nothing, arranged in these places for show—a
few flags sometimes, often Only the towering
engines and the men, all begrimed and halt
naked, clustering about them. Our cheers
were the due homage to labor, to the patient
toilers who, with actual strain of muscle and
steady work, have moved the hundreds of mil
lions of cubic, yards of earth which lay fast in
the place whereat this moment a fleet of ships
sail on through the water of the sea that
flows through.. There were all nations and
colors,
and their joy was as sincere as ours.
They knew better than most of us by what
sacrifice the triumph had been won. Of the
machines, there are in all more than a hundred
of different kinds., To a man of engineering
mind, they are worth a journey to the isthmus
to see.
Passing through higher laud, we are passing
through some of the uncertain spots, or what
were uncertain before this morning. Occasion
ally the POuse seems to struggle on, her keel
shrinking from so near a contact with the
bottom. She is used to deep water and the
free Mediterranean. The mud gurgles up
sometimes to the surface. I SuppOse we really
have not more than a foot to spare between the
keel of the ship And thel.lottonn of the canal.
From time to time there are , stops—some of
them long enotigb to make us anxious. We
get no news from the ships in front. We judge
only by what we 'cat see. The stops have
detained us so long that it is plain we shall
arrive at Ismailia in the dark; and it is even
dark before we reach El Guisr, the , highest
land through which the canal passes north Of
Ismailia, and where there is scenery said to be
fine. But we have a superb full moon to light
it for us, and the moon of Egypt is worth the
sun of England—almost.
Our only disaster was to happen at 'the very
entrance of the lake on which Ismailia itself
lies. There are sharp turns just, above, and
the Pause there for the first time touched the
bottom. Her keel scraped and rubbed heavily
as the screw still drove her on. So far as we
could judge, there was water enough in the
channel proper, but the great length of the
ship—she is 315 feet long—Made it impossible
in rounding sharp curves to keep her always in
the true Cnnel. 'And at last, atthe wry en
vance to the lake, within the lake, Ismailia in
full sight, the fleet of eight ships that were our
convoy anchored oil' the town, the unlucky
Peluse stuck fast. Some blunder had carried
us out of the channel, plainly marked as it was
by lighted buoys. .
1811AILIA AND ITS SPLENDOILS
It was the only real mistbrtune of the day,
and it was greater to the ships astern than to
us. Except the yachts and one or two
steamers of light draught, nothing could pass
us. We blocked the way. The Peluse lay
thus °lithe ground about four hours, and we
had little to regret after all. Ismailia never
could have offered so dazzling a spectacle if we
had Veen nearer to it. The lake stretched
wide about, us. The town was on its further
bank, they said, but what we see is not a town.
Laud and houses there are none. There are
lines of light on the surface of the water, and,
rising above the water, palaces built of shining
lamps, and ships whose masts and rigging are
all of the. It is an enchanted world, and a
fairy palace floating on the sea, rising out . of it
as-Venice rises. The tire grew into flames of
green and erintson,and palace and town flamed
up as if the conflagration were to destroy them,
and die out, and leave only ashes and the dark,.
ness; but when the dames subsided the deli
cate lines of light were still there. At last we
were in the land of the Arabian Nights, and
the splendor that was all about us and that we
saw with our eves was greater than the splen
dors the most daring fiction had created.
The Pause got off about midnight and
steamed on to her berth hi the harbor. The
day Was over, the success of it ; the marvel of
it, the delight of it, the Proof it had given of
the grand success of the canal, scarcely im
paited by our mishap. 1 must still say, as I
have said before, that the canal is incomplete,
and may be !Ong in finishing to the promised
depth, but nothing can take from the meaning
of the fact that between morning and night of
the 17th of November a dozen grdat ships
have passed from the Mediterranean into the
heart of the isthunts and more than half way
to the Red Sea. G. W. S.

Important Papal 8011.
LoNnoN, Dec. 14.—An important Papal bull
bas been. issued; under seal of strict secrecy,
establishig)regulations for the (Ecumenical
Council. Ills Holiness exhorts the bishops to
livein the practice of charity, humility anti so
briety during the session of the Council,. lie
declares that . although the - right of ' making
propositions for the Council belongs only to
himself and the 'Holy See, tad nos et ad
sanctamsedem,) he desires and exhorts every
father to think it his duty to make propositions,,
under these conditions—first, the 'proposition
to be made in writing, and submitted privately
to the'Council of bishops named by the Pope.
Serond—The proposition to have for its ob
ject the general interests of the Church and not
of a' particular diocese.
Third,--It must be accompanied by , a state
ment of the motives width have led to its pre
sent action.
Foorth—That it is.eotnforirrable to the spirit
and institutions of the Catholic. Church.
IliS holiness imposes secrecy on every person
concerned in the couciliary labors. Tile order
of precedence is as. follows : - •
Cardinal Bishops, Cardinal Priests. Cardinal
Deacons. Patriarchs, Primates, Archbishops,
Bishops, Abbots, Generals of 3lonastic Orders.
The fathers are authorized to designate ten of
their munber to be charged with the judicial
settlement of contestations arising among the
fathers themselves. .. ,
The bull appoints the officers of the Council,
naming as the Legati et Pro: mitle,l over gene
ral .congregations Cardinals De Relsach, Dc
Lucca, Bazarri, Bilio,• and Capaiti. Fathers
who desire to harangue the assembly must
first obtain authorization from the Legati;
those who intend to propose canons must first
submit them to one of four commissioners on
faith, discipline and Oriental affairs. These
commissioners will be chosen' by the fathers,
but each will be presided over by a Cardinal
named by the Pope. The bull prohibits the
fathers absenting themselves before the con
clusion of the Council, and authorizes them to
reside outside of their dioceses during the en
tire period of its session. The majority of the
Bishops are dissatisfied with many of these
provisions.
Postmaster-General Creswell has addressed

OFFICE DKPAIITMENT, IVAS 111 NG TON,
Dec. : Referrinrr b
to so touch of my
•
annual report as relates to the question of
abolishing the franking privilege, I have the
honor to state, as a matter of interesting infor
mation, that 1 have been officially advised by
the Director-General of Posts at Berlip that
the entire system of franking for the .North
German Postal jurisdiction has been regu
lated by a recent law, which goes into
effect on the Ist of January next, by the
provisions of which official correspondence,
in matters of interior State service hi
the Nerth German Union. and proceeding
from the State authorities is made subject to
postage, and to enable the officers of the Gov
ermnent to prepay official letters, the North
German Post Department has prepared a new
kind of stamp for their use, specimens of which
have been furnished to this department. The
fact that the North German Confederation,
with its comparatively limited grants of the
franking privilege, has found it necessary to
abolish official franks, furnishes an additional
argnment, if any be required, for the passage
by Congress of a similar law, removing from
our postal system this incongruous and
anomalous practiee,--which has -grown- -into an
evil of far greater magnitude in this conntry
than in Germany. 1 am, very respectfully
your obedient servant,

GENTLEMEN: On Wednesday night, the ..1,1 inst., our
large Shoe Alanufactory, No. 118 North Third street,
was barged out. We lost our large stock of goods, but
were the fortunate owners of one of your Patented Cham
pion Fire-Proof Safes, which was exposed for many
hours to an intense heat, and did its duty most man
fully ; in fact, the books, papers and money that it con
tained came out as good as when they were put in.. The
contents of the safe were all we sated.
Please send us another,of larger size, to our am
place as early as possible.
Yours Very Respectfullr,
