DEATH OF MAHoMEr ALI.-Mahomet Ali,
Pasha of Egypt, died at Alexandra on the ID
ult,, aged about so years. This remarkable
man, by one of those strange chances of which
the close of the eighteenth, and the beginning
of the nineteenth century, has been so fruit
full, raised himself from the position OF an oh
scure tobacconist in his native town of Cavalla,
in Roumelia, TO that of powerful prince, who.
at one time, threatened to overthrow the Turk
ish Empire, and build up his own power onits
ruins. He had, in 1888, defeated the troops
of the Sultan, his master, in several pitched
battles, and his forces, under the command of
his son, Abrahim Pasha, threatened 10 march
on Constantinople, when an end was put TO
the war by the intervention of the European
powers. In 1910 and Al, considerable ex-
element was created by the Egyptian ques-
ton when after the capture of Acre. the
Egyptian troops were driven out of Syria, and
Mahomet Ali confined to his own Pashalc of
Egyp., which he holds in nominal subsection
10 Turkey
Mahomet Ali accomplished task which
| no other man has been able successfully to
! perform that is, the introduction of European
discipline into Mahomeian army, and The
adoption of European Improvements and Gus
toms in his territories. Several Christians
held offices OF high consideration and profit
under him, and were treated in all respects
as though they had been followers OF the
prophet For year before his death, the
Pasha had been in feeble health, and his mind
was totally Frustrated.

livering lectures on American Oratory in Dub

for their friends or for the State sinking fund,

PEACE CONGRESS IN PARIS "A SET OF bab-
bling fools, calling themselves Peace Con-
gress, met in Paris on the 23a ult., the cele-
brated novelist Victor Hugo in the char. We
regret 10 notice that several Americans were
in attendance, and formed part of the motley
crowd. These people assembled in hall. in
one of the aristocratic streets of Paris, to pirate
about peace, and love. and all such things,
while the Russian and Austrian wolves were
tearing the heart and sucking the life blood of
gallant but unfortunate Hungary. People
who could meet deliberately 10 hear themselves
preach peace under such circumstances, should
be sent to the orphan asylums OF Paris TO iul-
fiji the important duty of dry nurses, for winch
they are eminently qualified. In the emphatic
words Of scripture, they cry "peace' peace
when there is no peace" nor. indeed, can BE-
until the monarchial wolves OF Europe have
their teeth drawn. The only avenue 10 a
permanent peace is through war--war upon
all that interferes with national independence
or individual right While these are in dan
ger, the man who advocates peace and submls
sion is traitor to his race and an enemy Ie
freedom.
