This tlte Is on a plain near the marshy ground on the south of Lake Mensaleh. It ia certainly an ancient place, for it is said: "Now Hebron was built seven yean before Zoan, to Egypt" Number, 0). To th north of Zoan he ifinda a place called maps it Is Gosein. This, he thinks, is the old name of Goshen, and that the field or plain of Zoan waa the land of Goshen.

The other names connected with the Exodus are also, found by Erugbch Bey In the northeastern portion of the Delta, MJgdol being one wknownpn maps, which is the same as Maedala. Theodore's fortress InAbysrinin, the word meaning tower or fort. This place is twelre mues northeast of Kantera, on the Boea canal. Pihahiroth be places on the shore of the Mediterranean, ana it is in the Serbonian Lake, a long strip of water to the east of the ancient Brugsch Bey supposes the disaster occurred to the hosts of Pharoeh. It will no doubt rather startle most readers to find that the Red Bea Is thus entirely left out, but the advocates of this theory contend that the distinctive term which characterizes the Red See does not occur In the narrative.

In the Uebrew it was called the Jam Buph.or "Sea of Weeds." Now, the story of Pharaoh's destruction the word (reeds) Is left out, and the word for sea alone is used. It is only in the cxwK 01 loses was is caiiea tne Snob" (Exodus 4). and its applioa here Brugsch Bey and his followers hare to assume is an accident. Returning again to the more generally accepted Land of Goshen, we find at its western end a recognized site which is mentioned In Scripture. In EJtbkiel 17, rt Is stated that the young men of Aven and of Pl-besetb shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall go Into If this should chance to be an unfulfilled prophecy, it is not likely to remain so very long.

Pi-beseta will. In all probability, be one of the first objective points of our troops acting on the eastern side of Egypt. Pi-beseth was Pa Bast, which the Greeks rendered Bubastus, name being derived from a goddess who was worshiped at that place, called Fasht, and whose statues with the head of a lioness or cat are plentiful In the British Museum. the mounds left by the city there is now an important railway station called Zagazix. Host travelers through Egypt will remember this station from its large refreshment room.

It la here that the lines from Alexandria, Cairo and Sues meet, and from this it may be looked upon as the key of the railway system of the delta. More Important still, the supply of fresh water to the Sues Canal can be restored at this point, so that its possession will be of the highest importance: "A Yen" is Heliopolia, and the name was given In contempt by the Prophet Esekiel, as it means It has no strategical Importance like Zagazig, but as it is close to Cairo it may come within the field of operations. All that remains of this celebrated city and its magnificent temple are mounds of earth and the one solitary obelisk erected by Osirtesen. Between Heliopolis and Zagaafg there is an Interesting spot connected with the later Jew- ish history. It is called Tel-el-Yehoodee, or "The Mound of the Jew." In Josephus, b.

8, will be found an account of it. Onias, son of the high priest of the Temple of Jerusalem, got permission from Ptolemy and Cleopatra to build a temple In Egypt which should be like the. one in Jerusalem. Josephus says it Vas much inferior. Still, such a temple was constructed, with' priests and a service the same as the Jews were accustomed to.

The place waa known previously as Leontopolis, and a temple bad stood there, and a palace of Ramesea ILL existed at it, all of which was ruins when Onias constructed the temple, which ajso Is now gone, and nothing bat nounds are left to mark the spot. Onias; in is letter to Ptolemy, quoted in' favor of his jroposals the prophecy in Isaiah 19: 'In that day shall they be an altar In the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the Lord." These words an acknowledged by Ptolemy and Zleopatra a being the inducement which caused them to make the grant. The temple attracted Jews, and there were other cities in the district where they predominated, -but ittle Is known regarding them. cmimjc a Slelea CfcfUBeeeveree' la New Terk Cema- terfelter Cap! area DoaUe Matter la the laeUa Territory.

Her abductor was arrested. The woman is young and rather good-looking, liernameis Maggie Ksppel and she is twenty-two years of age, single, and resides at No. 123 Park avenue, Brooklyn. She works in an envelope factory in this city. She said she did not steal the child, but found her in Greenwich street.

New York, and as she did not read the papers she knew nothing of the whereabouts of her parents. Her arrest was brought about through information given Dectective Shaughnessy by C. McLaughlin, a young man who knew her, and waa with bar Monday night when she had the child. She did not reach home with little girl until 1 o'clock this morning. The detective, at 7 o'clock, found her In bed, with the child by her side.

When told she was under arrest she wept. She was taken to the station and Selden sent for. When he saw his child be nearly fainted. His eyes filled with tears, and as he clasped bis child to his bosom and sobbed, "My little darling, I have found you at last." the little one cried "Papa," and kissed him over and over axain." The scene was very affecting. The mother of the abductress visited her daughter at police headquarters, and, strange to say, answers the description of the woman who was at first reported to have stolen the child.

The girl, Maggie Kappel, has been arrested before for larceny Her picture was taken. and shortly afterward she was brought before the Court, pleaded not guilty and was remanaea.

i The first business in order was the report of the Committee on Resolutions. The Chairman stated that there was a majority and minorityxreport, the first of which was submitted as follows: WanxAS, It is the right and duty of the delegates of. the people lto express their views on questions Affecting tbe publio welfare; la the freeeaoe of suchright and la the performance of hat duty, we, the delegates of the Democrats of Kansas la eoavenUoa assembled, do declare that whilst the Democrats of this State are In favor of true temperance and of Just and rigorous laws. Impartially and sternly executed, to suppress the evil of intemperance; ifceofoed. That we are In favor of the repeal of the act known as the prohibitory law and of the eonsUtuUonal amendment upon which it Is based, and the substitution therefor of a weU-rerolated license law, so framed that it will meet the approval of publio Judgment, and therefore be possible of rigorous enforcement; that we are in favor of the repeal of said law because It Is an infringement of tooee personal rights which are guaranteed to every ciUaea of the country and by the genius of our institutions, the lights of Erlvate Judgment and absolute control i all matters purely personal to himself, unencumbered, by all restrictions save where he.

may trench upon the rights of hie neighbors or of society, because the Introduction of the prohibitive principle la matters wherein It contravenes the publio Judgment of mankind is destructive in its logic and operation of the principle of equality el rights la political affairs; that it is eesantfsl to the perpetuation of popular government, because it makes crimes of those things that are nowhere regarded as crimes by tbe common law or by the public judgment, and prescribes unnsual and excessive fines and penalties for their violation, beeanse the very extremity sjm unresaonabte character of the law, coupled with the division of publie opinion as to its propriety and binding force, la a challenge to its violation, and beeanse as a remedial and reformatory agent It has ever been, and must continue to be, a signal and disastrous failure, inviting law-breaking, perjury, personal antagonism, neighborhood hfrkeriaga, excessive taxation in court fees and the spread of drunkenness. In view of these grounds of complaint against the prohibition law and tbe eonstimtional amendment, and of tba fact tnai the amendment was adopted by a minority of the voters of the State, and that we have reason to believe that very many of those who voted for it in the hope that It would produce the desired reform are disappointed in that hope and now desire its repeal, we demand lta resubmission to the people at the polls, that they may again pass upon ft after a thorough trial and the demonstration of lta inefficiency for tbe correction of the evils for which it waa designed. Second That we deaaand, at the hands of our Legislature, the enactment of such laws which, while being lust to the railroad corporations of the State. wUl secure to the industrial, manufacturing and- agricultural interests of our people full protection from ezoeesive ratesfor the trans-portaUoa of their products and our ciUsene from unjust and excessive rates of fares: and we demand that all railroad companies which have re-reived charters and other privileges under the laws of this State be required to maintain general offices within the limits of the State, and we de mand of the Bepubiican officials of the State the enforcement of the laws on thia subject now on the statute books. Third That it should be the duty of the incoming Legislature to provide by suitable enactments for toe encouragement of emigration, native and foreign, to our State to the end that the vast resources of our Commonwealth pay be speedily and fully developed.

--'Fourth That the strictest eeonomy' should be observed ra the management of our State Institutions, and the managers and officers thereof held to the most rigid and scrutinizing responsibility, and holding that snch Institutions, benevolent, charitable and reformatory, belong to the people kof the State and not to any party, we, aa repre sentatives or tne uemocrauo voters ana tax- pavers of the State of Kansas, demand a reasonable and Just representation in the various boards of State institutions. Fifth That we favor the enactment of such laws for the operations of. mines within' this SUte aa will protect the lives of operatives therein from the peculiar dangers Incident to their employment. Sixth 'l hat we are opposed to any third term In State offices, and believe that rotation in office tends to remind the officer that he la the servant of the people, and not the master. TBI aruroxrrr Tba minority report was then submitted, and after a very animated discussion, which occupied almost the entire forenoon, it was adopted by a vote of 177 to 148.

The report consists of various whereases and nineteen lengthy resolves. It favors a resubmission of the prohibition amendment at the State election In 1884. declares against a protective tariff, thanks the President for vetoing the River and Harbor Bill, favors civil-service reform, wants the Presidents elected for six years and made iniiegible to re-election, wants Representatives elected for four years and sessions of Congress held biennially, expresses sympathy with Ireland, opposes female suffrage, and shows a dis- position to regulate municipal, State, national International affairs in general and particular.

Special to tba Cincinnati Commercial: Tha Uual midsummer talk about prospective Cabinet changes is in full flow'. One rumor abruptly discharges Secretary of State Fre-linghuysen. Secretary of the Treasury Fol-ger, Attorney General' Brewster: and 'Postmaster General kindly permitting Chandler and Lincoln to remain "until they choose to go." There does not appear to be the slightest foundation for the rumor, except in the fact thai if Folger ia nominated for Governor of New York he will resign. As has often been stated. Folder is a candidate for the Governorship.

He thinks he will be selected as a compromise nominee. This is the Stalwart programme. The Stalwart scheme to kill Cornell and put a work ing politician in Folger's place- will thus be carried out. The further report that when Folger retires Assistant Secretary New Is to succeed him is doubted. His successor will probably be a New York Stalwart who knows bow to run the machine.

It is a noteworthy fact that the "Hon. Barney Biglin, of New York city, one of the men who rallied around tbe great boss after his resignation from tbe Senate, together with a striker or two of soma had a long conference with Secretary Folger to-day. Exploits of Two Croat Men, Tha Washington Critio ventilates the exploits of Count LogeL of the French Legation, and Senor Don Jose De Soto, of the Spanish Legation. These are the young bloods who were expelled from a club for their scandalous conduct last winter at a party given bfoneof our prominent citi-sens and their still mors' scandalous treatment of a young lady indiscreet enough to accept their proffer of protection. So gross was their conduct on this occasion that the club to which they belonged put them In Coventry and virtually expelled them from it.

They continued, now ever, to visit the club, but no one would speak to them. About six weeks ago Count LogeL after a protracted debauch, ia which hs landed in the station-house, jumped the town, leaving a number of Inquiring ladies and gentlemen to regret his departure. A famous restaurant wss out $300: his landlady, who had "lodgings for single gentlemen only," was out $la0, and his colored laundress has to grieve over the loss of seven months' washing. In short, this young diplomat's departure took a very large number of persons by surprise, since they had scores in various amounts against hua. It seems, alro, that ha was engaged to no less than two rosy damsels, about whose virtue there was some misgiving.

Indeed, If all the stories that are now told of him are true, ho must hare been a very gay Lothario. xne case of tbe young Spaniard, De Soto, Is as bad, if not worse. He was a noisy, boisterous fellow, and, his taifr( could make himself disagreeable in various ways, and got to be disliked by the people of Washington generally. He' was rarely sober, and would fight any man when not so ber. According to his confession, more than $4,000 of his monev waa lemt in a notorious eamblinar-hoose here.

and at least $3,500 on one of tbe actresses at the Opera Comique in less than two years. De Soto became desperately in love with thia young actress, and it was seldom he had not a brawl on hand with some one of her other admirers. On one of these occasions he not only got his countenance' seriously damaged, but got into both the guard-house and the newspapers. Washington polio? men have long since ceased to respect "diplomatic privileges," especially whan they partake of tbe rowdy order. Having spent bis substance in riotous living, De Soto, bice his slender but less boisterous companion, jumped tbe city a few nights ago, went to New York and sailed for Europe, leavinr a very lanre number of creditors to regret his departure.

I LOSS ABOUT $3,000. The alarm of fire at 2 o'clock this morn tng was caused by a promiscuous blase on Market street, between Jackson and Hancock, by which two livery stables, a-'' saloon and paint shop were para tlally -destroyed. The fire origi natod in.

the rear of Snyder's saloon, and spread rapidly to Scbenck's stable, a frame structure Immediately in the rear. The building was old and the planks burned with remarkable rapidity, communicating with Davis Son's stable; a frame structure on tbe west aide ia the rear of Danbla's paint-shop, and -in a few momenta eil our of the buildings were In flames. Several borses were confined in Davis Son stable and a number of wagons and buggies were in the paint shop. A large crowd gathered in a few minutes and the table doors were broken open. but it was with great difficulty that the horses were gotten out, "but all of them were saved before the roof felt.

When doors of the paint shop were opened the the smoke poured out in volumes, and it was almost Impossible to walk through it, consequently several fine buggies and one or two wagons were destroyed. Scbenck, who owned two of the buildings, lived over the saloon, and the first Intimation the family had of the fire was when some one beat on tbe door and waked them up, Tbey all managed to escape, but most of the household goods were destroyed, The fire In the rearpart was soon brought under control, but in front the fight wss more stubborn. A large quantity of whisky and other liquors were stored in tbe cellar of the saloon and tba flames took firm hold there, resisting all efforts to drive them out. All four of the buildings were destroyed, and he loss Tr1 i UP OT" $3,000, most of which is covered by insurance. The origin of the fire is a mystery, as tbe only light left burning wss In tbe saloon, which had been closed up about an hour before tbe flames were discovered.

It is generally thought, however, that it was the work of an Incendiary, but what the object was la unknown. A 81 BEIT SCRIMMAGE. Aleck Assataa4 Was. He (tee Bsehamge Mx Shots, UHa Little Effect. A very lively shooting scrape occurred at twenty minutes past 1 o'clock this morning on Jefferson street, just below Fourth, during which.

Aleck Ament and a back-driver named Wftliam Hughes exchanged six shots. Neither of the principals In ths affair was hurt, but another hack-driver named John Nichols, better known as "Bolly," who was an accessary to Hughes, received a slight wound of the leg. From all accounts Hughes was the aggressor in the affair and entirely to blame. Aleck Ament Is head har-keeper at the CrOckford saloon, and has many friends here. Hughes Is rather a dissolute fellow, and is also extensively known about town.

A few minutes before the shooting Ament left his place of business for horned and passing up Jefferson street met a friend. They stepped into Specht's saloon for a drink, and when coming away Hughes made use of some yfcfr language concerning Maj. Ed. Hngbes, his uncle. Ament then commenced to expostulate with him, telling him that be ought not to use such disrespectful language In connection with a relative's name.

Hughes was under tbe influence of liquor at the time and replied that he would talk as he pleased. Ament then told hinT that of course he could if he were so disposed, and after some other words tbe former left. He stepped back to the Crock ford to leave a message which he had forgotten, and as he again turned his face homeward, Hughes pulled up before tbe saloon on top of a hack driven by Nichols, the man who was shot. Hughes then commenced abusing Ament, and the latter told him if he was going to do anything to step down and givs htm a show. Hughes then said: "You came from Tennessee, but you of a you can't run" things here," or Words to that effect, at tbe Same time drawinir a rietsl mnA Av4n- Ament then pulled bia pop and returned the fire.

Hughes ordered Nichols to drive off and -rushed np before tbe shooting bad closed, and put both men under arrest. Each had urea inree shots. Is ic hols was taken ton doctor, whara ha ht.hia T. is only a flesh injury. Ament soon afterward gave bond.

A number of hacks ware drawn up near where tbe shooting occurred, and It is a wonder more damage was not done.

Cetalsa CeM Wave. UTew Fork EeraUL The "cold wave" which has appeared in tbe extreme though not altogether welcome to the grain growersand harvesters, is not likely to do material damage to the, crops. In tbe summer of 1SS0. which was a model one for agriculture ana will long be -memorsbls for its golden harvests, a "cold struck the North west -on August 14, and on tbe two succeeding days slowly traversed the. lake region; but its path was due east.

During it psssage frequent frosts were reported from tbe in- terior of New England, New Terk, Michigan and the Canadian provinces, and minimum temperatures of' 44 at Buffalo, 41 at Davenport. Iowa, and Breckinridge, 48 at Cleveland, and 80 at Marquette, were reported by the Signal Service. The present "cold wave" comes two weeks later than did that of August, 1880, and tbe minimum temperatures in its front are about the same, the weather reports yesterday showing 4tj" at Fort Garry, Manitoba? 47 at Moorbead, and 40 at Fort Buford, M. T. The chief meteorological importance of the "oold waves" which now descend southeastwardly over the United States is found in their pow-erfulinfluence on the storms of the tropical Atlantic Whether tbey originate the West Indian hurricanes or not, they give direction' and intensity to these tempests.

While the high pressure wave is gliding over our At-lantio and Qulf coast it serves as a barrier against tbe spproach of hurricanes, and di-' verts them toward the; Bahamas and Bermu. da; but after its pasMte into the tropics the low pressure belt left behind the cold ware is a natural pathway for the West Indian cyclone, along which it easily advances toward Florida, and tbe Carolina, Aathepresent -high pressure ways will in all probability move southeastwardly over the Alleghenies its progress should be tcarefully watched by the shipping interests, and especially by shipmasters about to leave Atlantic porta. la New Msxlee. 4 1' Albuquxxqux, Aug. 81.
