THE BENNINGTON BANNEE, FEIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1891 - CAIItO ON A "TEAIl." Caiko, Egypt, Oct. 4th. Cairo has becn a regular "tear" for a weok. You see, tno noiy carpet lias arrivou irora Mccca, and tho Arabs aro simply crazy. This carpct is a mostinttrosting thing to contoiupiiue, ana tno servico ovcry year has pjrown to such cnormousproportions that it commands tliu attontion of tho wholo civilizud world. This carpct is uot an old carpet, as is gencrally sup poscd. but a nuw ouu is raado ovory your for this service, of which I will tell you. Expensivo ? Woll, rather! It takes a wholo year to mako it, and whon it is iinished it stands out a marvel of lino silver and gold thread worked intn beau tiful desigas, and tho" wholo cotiUiining many beantiful pcarls, riibies and other precious stoueB. To bo sure, theso stonos aro prcservcd from ytar to yoar, and placcd on evory now carpet, but tho body of tho carpot is now overy year. This now carpet is takeu to Slecca, whero is tho toinb of Mahomet, tho Pro jihet, and spruad over his gravo, wliero it rciuains lor two lnonths, and is then brought to Cairo again, whero all this hubbub is kicked up. I wish you miglit havo seeii thcso Arabs tho day this carpct arrived. Tlioy woko mo at i o'clock in tho morniiig, parailing tho streets infront of my hotol, and thoy kopt that parade up all day long, and havo hardly stopped since. Ono brass band after another, followed by ono of tho priests (who accoinpenicd tho carpot to Meccn) and a howling mul titudo liavo kopt the city in au upioar. Howovcr, tho carpet was linally takun to tho oitadel of Cairo, whero it has siuco been dividcd among tho priests and a few favored Arabs. I was favored with a seat atnong tho foroign Cousuli', closo by tho sido of tho great priest who re coivcd tlio carpet on its rotuni, and theie foro had a lino viow of tho wholo pro roedings. H'lien I arrived at tho citadel tho car pet had not arrived, but I was not long kopt waiting. I'romptly at !) o'elock tho Uoveruor ol Cairo and escort arrived at tho building. and a saluto of ten guns was lired. Then eamo tho foreign Con suls, Anioricau, Fieneh, Uiitiah, ete., and tho troublo began. Tliero were 101)1) Arab soldiurs drawu up tn line, aud a iine, manly-lookiiig sot thoy wero in their whito unifonns and red turbans. Then thoro wero 100 lancers on horso back, with their gnrgeotts colored llags, tho artillery and about 300,000 Arabs. Greatscottl What a peilormauee thoy did havo! Tho carpet camo in on a camel and was put up in tho sliapo of a pyramid, only ono nide loft open. Then camo tho priests who aecompauicd it to Mecea, and all of their retainers. each on a camel. Thoy wero beating drums or blowiug somo hidcous winil instruuieuts, and to h.ay tliat caniels and inen were in gorgeous costumes, scarcely approaehcs the magniliccnt truth. As soon as tho carpet camo a royal saluto of tweaty-ono guns was lired, tho laueors disinountcd, tho soldiors "fell in," and a din com menced such as I had nover hcard. Can nons lliing, bands playing, and :J00,000 Arabs crazy as could be, niado something of a row. All tliis in honor of tho prophet. Tho Arabs rushud liko niad to got to tmch tho saered pieco of silvor and gold aud precious stones, tirmly beliovinir if they could but toueh it they wero uot only .sure of heaveu, but had rceeived a soveioigii cnro for every ill and troublo. Xot uuly this, but thoy beliovo if thoy can only touch tho priest's robe it is a suro curo for all ills. It is really pitiful to seo tho-o Araln whon once they got to toueli tho carpet. They at onee'covor their f.icus with their liaiuls, striko tho chest an I kiss i i mo aud again the haud that touclied tho carpet. Tney can be seen all .il.ing tho btroots along which tho carpet passen goiug tluoitgli this perform iuce. If ono is so fortunato as to reeeivo buta smill tliroad lioatoucu inclosos it iu a smill loiUhur bag, ties it arouud his neck, and from that timo ou heis not only satislled that ho will havo all ho m ty desire, but as sure of evor liisting lifo iu tho world to come.

Ingersoll dctcrmincu to em ploy tho lato Johu McSwcouoy of Woos tor, Ohio, who was tho foremost crimi nal lawyer of tho United Statcs. Inger soll had nover met McSweenoy. but ho telegraphcd him to como to Washington. McSweenoy, although a full-bloodcd Irishman, had spcnt scvcral ycars at a Gormau university, and looked liko a German. Dorsoy's confidential man Georgo Eak ors, was a Gormau and was cxpected tho day beforo McSweenoy would arrivo. As Eakcrs liad somo important knowledgo, Col. Ingersoll was auxious to seo him. Ho went up to tho Arlington, whero all tlio Dorsey party -wero quartorcd, and awaited his man's arrival. Soon tliero entcred a tall, stout man with his trous ors tuckcd into a pair of No. 9 boots and his clothing bespattorcd with mud. His hair fell in riuglots to his shouldors, and his wholo appearauco was that of a journeyman Toxas cowboy. Tho stran ger had scarcely had timo to look around beforo his hand was in tlio grasp of tho famous orator, who said: "I am Ingersoll." "Yes," returncd tho other, "I was looking for you." 'Ali! I thought so," chuckled tho Colonel. "Como right up to tho room;" and witliout giviug tho gucst timo to regislcr he cseortcd him to tho room. "Ono of tlio lirst things I want to say to you, Mr. Eakcrs, was in this mattor of my feo. It won'f, bo worth whilo to mcn tion tho amuuncl rceeived to McSweenoy when he comep,ashe will naturally do his utmost. I proposo to cmiiloy him as cheap as I can. Of courso I must havo him, and if itcomes to a pinch I would pay him $25,000 to assist me, but I think 1 can got him for $."i,000, perhaps, and I am satislied ho won't refuso $10,000 in such a casc as this, if ho thinks that is all ho can get.

"Well, I'll seo you again in a fow min utes," said Ingorsoll, as holeft tho room.

It might be a quietor world, and a calmcr world, and a world with smaller bills for dry goods, but it would still bo a bleak, cold, forbidding world, which would continuo to got worso tho lougcr it lastcd. Wo shoudder to think of tho world at tho oud of a i undred womaulcss ycars. But dolightful as woman is aud must over remain, how much dcep sor row sho ofter brings to good men. Wo hopo wo undcrstand tho danger of ovcn hinting that womeu has a sphero in a contracted, pcnt-up Utica scnsc. Tho bouudloss univorso is woman's sphere. Somo pcoplo havo stopped donying this. But how much troublo sho makcs for man when sho stcps out of what was supposcd to bo her sphero in tho daik ages which provailed uji to twcnty, thir ty or forty yenrs ago. Tliero is no placo wo supposo on tho faco of tho earth wo iuliabit whero woman is so ulifottorcd as iu tho Stato of Kansas. Hero sho follows out her manifcst destiny and votca and holds oftieo. Xaturo will always triumph in tho oud. For a long timo woman was unnaturally kopt out of office, but it could not go on forover. Woman has como into her own in Kan sas, butalas for man in Kansas. A fcw days aco tliero arrived in Iliawatha,Kan sas, sovoral uupropossessing looking men wearing stiff clothes which stood out arouud them liko a high board fcnco around a baso ball grouud. After look ing about town a little, they lit their pipes, producod groat pails of pastc, and procecded to cover overy bill-board in tho city with posters of a gorgeous and startling naturo. They wero advauco biil-stickors for a certaiu IJondon Gaiety Conipany, which, itappears.is composed largely of young womeu. Tho pictures representcd tlicso young pcoplo as clothed in a way which it would seem should havo delichted the dress rcforra women of Hiawatha, sineo thoy showed a protty thorough omancipation from skirts, but it seems that it did not. Tho women of Hiawatha were scandalized. Thoy aroso in a body and proceedod to tho council chamber and domandcd that tho obnoxious pictures bo prohibitod. Unfui tunatoly, tho womeu of Hiawatha neglected, at tho last clcction, to seo that Aldermcn woro chosen from their own sox. Of course, tlio mcu rofuscd to in terfcro with tho pictures, and each 'fclt in his pockot, to mako suro Uiat ho had not lost his complimontary ticket to tho porformance. Tlio women wero indig nant, and lcft tho chamber. Then, ao cording to tho dcspatch, thoy "armed themsolvos with pitchforks and rakea aud scraped the bills from tho boaids." They then declarod tho membors of tho Council social outcasts and went home. Nothing, wo suppose, can bo dono about this. Of courso it is an outrage on tho mcn of Hiawatha thus to doprivo them of a chanco for artistio study, but whatredress havo they? None whatover. In Kansas nothiug is so superlluous as man. Onco he was powerful and his voice was hcard on public qnestioni; now he is seen but little, and in placo of tho sound of his voico tliero is tho harsh scratch of tho gardun-rako and tho four tiued pitchfork. as his wifo and daugh tcrs cultivato the hill-boards and tear away pictures iu which ho formerly de lightcd. Tho qucstion of the deporta tion of tho Kansas man will yet llnd its way into National politics. His inost saered rights havo becn trampled on.
