A PROGRESS THROUGH EGYPT. HOMAGE TO
GREAT BENEFACTOR.-The DIARY of a
Physician" by DR.. Warren, thrilling and
interesting as it has been considered, is not
more marvellous than the actual experience
of the celebrated Professor Holloway in the
various countries he has visited. While in
spirit of general philanthropy he has de-
voted himself to the conversation of the
public health, without distinction of nation
or class, he has been the intimate friend of
princes and an honored guest at the table of
kings. His courtly manners, varied infor-
nation, and the fascinating style in which
he gives his impressions of the countries
and peoples with whom his travels have
made him familiar, render him the most de-
lightful OF companions. When in Egypt
(whither he went several years ago for the
purpose of investigating the antiquities of
that cradle of learning and scence), he re-
ceived a special invitation from Ibrahim
Pasha to become his guest at Alexandria,
and that remarkable man is said to have Of
fered him an enormous income as an induce
menttO become his physician-in-chief Fail
ing in that, he ordered a guard of honor to
attend Professor Holloway to Thebes, and
presented him with a special firman,
addressed to all civil and military
6 81 9 IN Egypt . commanding CO them
every facility in the prosecution of his re-
searches. Thus he jOurneyed, the guest of
the nation, through the realm of the Pha-
raohs Nor was his progress sim ply devOt-
ed to antiquarian objects. Travelling as
usual with an ample supply of his invaIua-
BILE remedies, he was enabled to do an infini-
~ Of good in that unhealthy region watered
by the Nile. Wherever his tents were
pitched, the sick were conveyed there. NJ
bian and Abyssinian princes brought their
sick wives and children on filters, seeming
to believe that he could heal them with
touch, and Moors Copts and Turks-in
fact representatives, of all the races that
make up the population of Egypt, wed with
each other in doing him honor. He had
little occasion to use the Pasha's firman, for
the cures he wrought were passport to all
hearts-a sufficient incentive to exertion in
his service. Even the dancing girls who
came at evening to perform before his tent,
at various places on the route, refused the
customary dOuceur. They merely asked a
small supply of the medicines which had
proved so efficaciOus in the diseases of the
country, and felt assured, on receiving
them, that they possessed a talisman capa-
Bile of controlling every species of sickness.
BeneVolence, courage and perseverance,
combined with skill of the highest order,
and all exercised in an unselfsh spirit for
the good of mankind, are the main traits of
this great mans character. They have
stamped his name upon the hearts of the
present generation and given it just claim
to Immortality. Bohn's "A6yssinia"

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Maryland
Legislature, in their interview with the
President this morning, admitted both the
right and the power of the Government to
bring the troops through Baltimore or the
State, and to take any measures for the
public safety, which, in the discretion of
the President, might be demanded either by
actual and reasonable apprehensive exigen-
cies. They expressed their belief that no
immediate effort at secession or resistance
of the federal authorities would be attempt
ed by the Legislative or State authorities,
and asked in this view that they should as
long as possible be spared the evils of mil
itary occupation, or a mere revengeful chas-
tisement for former transgressions.
The President replied that their suggestions
and representations should be considered,
but that he should now say no more than
that the public interest, and not spirit of
should actuste his measures.
WASHINGTON, May 4.-The New York
seth regiment will forthwith be located in
the neighborhood of Georgetown.
The Government has been officially adj
vised that at the latest dates no Commits
sioners from the Confederate States had pre-

The State department has instructed the |
new Minister 10 Paris, Mr. Dayton, to explic- !
lily make known TO the French government
that there is not now, nor has there been, !
nor will there be, any, or the least idea ex-
sting in this Government of suffering a
dissolution of the Union to take place in
any way whatever.
