Cleopatra's Needle.
HOW THE "GREAT -MOXOUTH WILL UK
TRANSPORTED AC BOSS SEAS.
There is now a reasonable probabilitj
that before many weeks elapse Cleopa
tra's Needle will be en route for England.
The monolith has been handed over to
Mr. Dixon's agent, whose men hare
commenced the necessary work for its
removal. -1 informed you on the 20th
of April that Mr. Carter, Mr. Dixon's
agent, had arrived . here, and had ob
tained from Mr. Demetrio, the owner of
the ground on which the obelisk lies
buried in the sand, a promise of per
mission' to remove it, provided the
Egyptian Government and the British
Consul General authorized Mr. Carter
to take possession. A document to this
effect having been obtained at Cairo,
Mr. Demetrio, although he considers
he has a pecuniary claim against the
Egyptian Government in respect to the
obelisk, has handed over absolute pos
session to Mr. Carter on behalf of Mr
Dixon and the British nation.
It is only fair to Mr. Demetrio, who
is himself an. eminent antiquarian, to
explain why there has been some little
delay and diplomacy on his part. Many
years ago the land on which the Needle
lies was sold by the Egpytian Govern
ment to an Italian, who afterwards ro
sold it to Mr. Demetrio. In the Bale no
conditions were mado as to the obelisk,
but when Mr. Demetrio wished to.build
on the land in question, the Egyptian
Government stepped in and said: ' No;
you must not remove the obelisk, which
we have given to the British Govern
ment." As the British Gouernment did
not remove it, the land has for years
been rendered valueless to Mr. Demet
rio. Morally, therefore, Mr. Demetrio
seems to bo entitled to compensation
from some one; but as he is unable to
establish a legal claim against the Egyp
tian Government (for he has tried and
failed), and does not pretend to any
against the British Government, the
monument has been graciously giveu up.
Tie Needle is (39 feet long and 8 feet
souare not uniformly, but the base.
It weighs about 220 tons, and lies in the I
sand about 15 feet above high-water line.
To get this mass safely into the sea and
across tie sea, it is intended to build up
around it on shore a cylinderical iron
case or ship, and then to roll the entire
mass, nearly 300 tons, into the Mediter
ranean, and when the necessary ballast
ing and additions have been made to
the ship in drv dock, to have her towed
to England. The iron vessel is now be
ing made at the Thames Iron Works,
and when ready will be sent out here in
pieces, to be built aiound the obelisk,
under the superintendence of Mr. Wy
man, brother to Mr. John Dixon, the
enterprising designer and contractor.
The vessel mast be considerably longer
than the obelisk, because of the shape
of the Btone. It will be ninety-two feet
long and fifteen feet in diameter, with
plates Yt inch thick. It will be divided
into nine water-tight compartments by
eight bulkheads; total weight of iron,
75 tons.
To lift the end of the obelisk jacks of
immense power will havo to be sent
from England, and after the cylinder is
built tremendous tackle will be required
to roll it into the sea. It will float in
nine feet of water, and to reach this
depth it must be rolled 400 feet. Once
afloat and in dock it will be fitted with
bilge keels, rudder and steering gear.
It will be cutter rigged, with one mast
and two sails, and will have a deck
houso for Mr. Carter, who will have
charge of it on the vovage; for, al
though it will be in tow of a steamer, it
will be in every respect a shij, and able
to take care of itself for a time in case
of accident or breaking away from the
tow lines, which are to be of" steel v ire.
There will.be four or five men on board
to make sail, pump bilge water, trim
lights and make signals in case of need.
In the oj)inion of eminent engineers
the plan proposed is admirably adapted
for the work to be done, and Mr. Dix
on's confidence is shown in the fact that
should he fail to complete his work, he
will receive nothing for his outlay and
trouble. If, however, the undertaking
is a success, the entire expense will be
borne by Mr. Erasmus Wilson, the em
inent surgeon.
Immense care and nicety will have to
be exerted in obtaining the necessary
strength and rigidity; the obelisk must
bo so packed, forming with the iron cyl
inder one solid mass, so as to avoid any
strain from the rolling into the water,
or from the heavy working of the ship
afterwards. - I presume the most anx
ious part of the work will be to get the
vessel and hor precious cargo into the
sea. Once afloat other difficulties will
be mastered. Three thousand five hun
dred years ago this obelisk formed one
of the pillars in front of the great Tem
ple of Turn (the settinsr sunl at TTpII-
polis (near Cairo) , and was brought toJ
-.lexanaria uunng tlie reign of Cleopa
tra. No account exists as to the appli
ances used; but if this and larger mon
uments could be safely moved about
some 1,600 B. C, it is not possible to
doubt our ability to do likewise in the

Queen Victoria's Wealth. What
Queen Victoria leaves behind her will
never be known, because the wills of
sovereigns are not proved, but those
who have carefully considered the sub
ject are of opinion that she must, since
the Prince Consort's death, have saved
at the very least 100,000 a year. Not
only has sho lived so quietly that a large
proportion of her 385,000 a year in
come must be saved, but it is to be re
membered that Mr. Nield left her 500,
000 which, at four per cent., would give
20,000 a year, and she receives 43,
000 a year from her Duchy of Lancas
ter. The crown lands given up to the
country in lieu of a parliamentary an
nual grant, have of late years been so
ably and economically managed that
their revenue covers the royal allow

. much the property of the sovereign as
the lands of the Dnke of Devonshire.
or any other landholder, are his. If
the country choose to make the most of
these lands by cutting up, say, the New
Forrest, and selling it in lots, and adopt
ing a similar plan with other outlying
possessions of the crown, it would make
money out of the royal family. The
revenue of the Duchy of Cornwall has
risen from 22,000 in 1324 to 75,000,
and increases annually about 3,000,
so that the next Prince of Wales will
probably be independent of a parlia

The sovereign remedy for all ailments

constant demand; at almost every corner
one is met. feeling his way by the aid
of a long staff, and blowing the whistle
that designates his avocation. The
women have graceful, modest bearing;
in public never forward. In marriage
they shave the eyebrows and stain the
teeth as a tribute to the husband's hon

Crime is speedily and severely rebuk
ed. The capital punishments are haru
kiri, beheading, and for parricide nd
the gravest offenses, crucifixion. The
haru-kiri has been much modified of
late; it is reserved for state offenders, to
whom some consideration is due, but
death demanded. Ordinarily the execu
tion takes place in a temple or"at the pal
aoe of some Dainiio, who is ordered to
superintend the ceremony. A friend or
second is selected, who stands by the
offender with a drawn sword, thekatana

in which lies the knife for disembowel
ing, and as he seizes it the second cleaves

patron, or to oppose a sea of troubles.
Beheading malefactors is done by a state
agent, who has distinguished himself in
military life. The victim is bound in a
kneeling posture, and tho executioner,
standing behind, delivers a blow with
the sword that severs the head. This is
then exposed on a crossbeam by the
roadside. In crucifixion, the culprit is
bound to a cross with thongs, and, after
a prescribed time of agonized exposure,
life is tapped with spears. TheTokaido,
the great thoroughfare of Japan, is thus
ornamented with trophies of justice to
terrify the ill-disposed and to assure tho

The Tortures of the Bastinado.
"T. II. " writes to the London Times:
' I am boiling over with indignation
while reading the account of the fearful
bastinading of the unfortunate Ali Nas
mi, narrated in your Pera correspond
ence. A few days ago I was reading an
account of this punishment inflicted
many years since on an unfortunate
Englishman. As many of our readers
may not be fully aware of the horrible
nature of this torture. I give the account
in the victims own words. I am led to
ask how it is possible that in our day
such barbarous cruelty can be perpetrat
ed ior so small an offense as the poor
student was guilty of, and which he so
magnanimously owned? Tho writer says:
'The victim was thrown flat on his face
and his legs bent up, so that the soles of
his feet were horizontal; the feet were
held in this position by a long staff and
chain. At first the blows were moder
ately dealt, then they we're laid on more
roughly, and every stroke felt like the
application of a red-hot poker. At first
the pain was excruciating, but the feel
ings in time became numb and it was like
beating a bag of wool. It was six weeks
before lie could walk, even with crutches,
and for more than three years his feet
and ankles were very much s woolen,
and, though about twenty years had
elasped when he published this account
he still suffered. He mentions instances
of the bastinado having been ajiplied
for three days successive', and, if the
person survived, the feet were rendered
useless for life; but, in general, he ob
serves, when between 500and GOO strokes
were inflicted death was the conse

is a British nobleman who, if he were
not a British nobleman, would be ex
tremely apt to be adjudged a lunatic.
His eccentricities are as incomputable
as his income, and London society never
has the least idea what he will do next.
Some years ago he amused himself by
sending out invitations to a ball at his
mansion, in three colors, pink, white
and crimson. As the guests arrived
they were shown into different parts of
the building, and the result was that
before the evening was far advanced his
lordship was discovered to have sent
white cards to all the women of the
world about whom scandal had never
whispered a word, pink cards to all
those about whom scandal had succeed
ed in raising doubts, and crimson cards
to all those about whom scandal had left
nobody room to entertain any doubts at
all. It may be imagined how popular
the earl was made by this ingenious
proceeding. His latest freak was per
formed the other day. He determined
to give a ball and issued invitations
upon vast gilt cards. A few days be
fore the festivity a lady who had been
honored with one of these cards re
ceived a letter from him informing her
that he had seen her somewhere in dark
apparel, and that she must either lay
aside her mourning or deny herself the
pleasure of attending his ball. The
lady in question enthusiastically ac-
cepted tne laiter alternative, un tlie
morning of the ball another lady, who
had been the recipient of one of the gilt
cards, received a letter to the same ef
fect, written, not by the earl himself,
but by his private secretary. A'. Y.

Beatine a "Bobtail.", ,
A tall man, with cowhide boots up to
his knees, a red beard down to his waist
and a white slouched hat on the back of
his head, stepped into a Bleecker street
car yesterday afternoon. The car was
one of those poke-your-money-through-a-hole-in-the-door-and-drop-your-fare-in-the-box
arrangements which so de
light the way-faring man, though a fool.
The tall stranger glanced nervously
around, and seeing the sign, "Pay
Here," chucked a ten cent piece down
the hole, to show that he knew all about
the matter. Then to his horror he dis
covered thafc-the fare was only five cents.
He saw the hole in the door and the
cheering description "Change" upon
the trap.
"High, cap!" said he to the driver,
thrusting an immense paw through the
hole, "rustle out that change."
Tho driver gazed abstractedly at the
new Court House on Chambers street,
took several turns at the brake, glanced
at his wat?h to see if he was on time,
took a fresh chew of tobacco, and then
turned round to make the change. He
saw ouly an ornpty palm.
"What are you givin'us?" said he.
"Nuthin'," paid the red-headed man,
sententiously. "I want you to give me
five cents change."
"Where's yer fare?" asked the driver,
leering affectionately at the ten cent
piece in the box.
"Why, thar's ten cents in that con
traption thar, an' I want you to just
hump out'my change."
"Can't do it; aprainst orders. Should
'a got change, first," said the driver,
with a fiendish grin, turning his atten
tion to th navigation of Lombard
fetreet.
"By jimmani,!' shouted the red
headed man; "cau't I get my five cents ?
111 take it out o' that fellow's hide, an'
then I'll see the President of the com
pany an' make him refund the money."
"Don't do that," said a man with a
white tie; "I know abetter way don't
ray next time!"
"But Je rusalem! sir, I'm going to
the Black Hills, an' I hope I may die if
I ever come back. to New York."
"I'll settle it for you," said a gentle
man who had. just stepped in; "here's
my five cents; you take it, and I won't
pay anything."
' That's the ticket," said the red
headed man. "I don't care a damn for
the five cents, but it does grovel me like
thunder to be gouged. Come gents,"
said he to the passengers, "let's all get
off and take a drink."
The driver glowering through the
window, saw the transaction, and knew
that Nemisis had overtaken him. How
ever, he raog the bell hich announces
a defaulter on the car, but the passen

Xew York World.
A Well-Man aged Swindle. Yester
day a man clad in the garb and having
the general style of the fronteersman,
called at Mr. Eppstein's pawnbroker's
office, on the corner of Woodward and
Jefferson avenues, and said he would
like to make a dicker.
"Well, sir, what can I do for you ?"
inquired the urbane attendant.
"I've got some gold here," said the
stranger. "I'm hard up, and want to
raise some money on this 'ere pile."
He took from an inner breast pocket a
small pasteboard box, carefully lifted
the cover off, and disclosed to the pawn
broker a handful of gold nuggets.
"Where did yon get that?" inquired
the pawnbroker.
"Dug 'e'r myself," was the reply.
"How much do you want for it?"
"Ob." leturned'the miner,-"I don't
want to sell it; only want to make a
temporary raise. I guess lo0 will see
me through for a few days, and when I
git home I'll send for it."
The pawnbroker tested one of tho
nuggests. found it twenty-one carat
gold, and after weighing it and finding
the pile worth 174, he offered to ad
vance 6100 on it.
"Twou't do, mister," said the visitor;
"I must have 150 or nothing."
"One hundred dollars is all I can
lend you on it," replied the pawnbrok
er, handing back the box and its pre
cious content..
The owner replaced tho cover and his
treasure back into his pocket and start
ed toward "the door. At .the threshold
he halted, ajpeared to be debating with
himself for a moment, aud at length
turned again to the pownbroker.
"Well," said he, with a careless air,
"take it and give me tho 100. I'll
make that do." With that he handed
out the box once more, received a tick
et and $100 in cash and disappeared.
An hour later Mr. Eppstein thought
he would have a look at the gold, and
took it out of the safe. To make assur
ance doubly sure, he again tested it.
The first nugget proved to be silver,
very neatly gilded. Another and ano
ther were examined in like manner un
til the whole had" been gone through,
and every nugget was found to be of
the same character, the whole being
worth a fraction over four dollars.
Tho trick was now transparent. The
pretended miner was in reality a very
clever swindler, who had two boxes, one
containing the pure gold and tho other
the gilded silver, which he exchanged
at the time he pretended to decline the
offer of 100. "He made his escape, and

Protection. All orchards and fruit
gardens, whether of young or old trees,
should be carefully protected against
the depredations of cattle or other ani
mals. Good fences to secure them are
indispensible, as it is utter folly to ex
pend time and money in planting and
rearing a fine orchard, and then allow
animals to disfigure, maim and destroy
the trees. Cattle, horses, or sheep
should never be allowed to run in or
chards; nor should swine be admitted
except at intervals of very short peri
ods, in order that they way have time
only to eat up the fallen fruit, and not
bark the trees or root up the ground.

AN EXQUISITE CHEF D tEDVRE.
jo Au si:i; it.
In passing down Post street yesterday,
our attention was attracted by a rare and exqui
site work of art, in the display window of Messrs.
Koehler i"t Ititter, the well known manufacturing
jewelers of this citv. We went in, aud were
permitted to give tin's elegant ctef d'leurre a
careful inspection. It was a magnificent gold
cljalice, wortto $1,500. tlcsigned and made by this
firm, for Iltv. Father Grey of St. Patrick's
Church, and prcac ntcd to him by his people on
his recent return from the Holy Land. '1 ho de
sign is most exquisite, and all the details have
bee'n wrought out with the greatest delicacy and
harmouv. It is Gothic in' style, and fulfills ev
ery condition of art in this line. Tho true artis
tic spirit is evinced in the plan, form, decoration
aud linisli of this marvellous inventive design,
and it is most lit aud happy in aesthetic ef
fect. The base of the chalice is a study of itself.
Tho principles of (symmetry and harmony are
strikingly manifest here. It'has its Gothic points
and curves, and is built up in true architectural
exactitude with its base, snrbase, plinth, torus
and fillet, which together form the pedestal of
the vase. Tho work upon this must hae b-en
laborious, and skillful hands have achieved the
rare results. On this base rests the shaft, which
is beautifully decorated as is also the basis
with foliations, the space between tho cusps of
feathering being in trefoil, quatrefoil and quin
quefoil, ail exquisitely wrought. Near the top
of this beautiful shaft, is superposed a series of
niches, eight in number, each a pointed Gothic
arch, containing an image of the Apostles Mat
thew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, also John the
Baptist, Paul and the Saviour. These are su
perbly designed, each with a characteristic insig
nia of office, and are in (ttto-relieco. They will
l,e-ar the most critical inspection, and are beau
tifully significant in decorative art. Underneath
these, on the base of the chalice, is a suggestive
representation of the crucifixion, in baa relief.
The cup itself is ct burnished gold, faultless in
shape, and ornamented on the loner part with
foliations corresponding to thoso on the base.
Altogether, this is one of the mobt signal tri
umphs in jewelry art that has ever been manu
factured in this city, and of its kind it has not
boon surpassed iu this country. Messrs. Koehler
fc Hitter deserve great credit'for the genius and
skill evinced in its design and manufacture. We
learn it will be on exhibition at No. 20 Post
street for a few days longer, and all art loving
connoisseurs should be sure toexamit.e it. Sun
