no time in taking our advice.
Let We imagine such meeting in pro-

William Rex, at Berlin.
In the Athenaum Cairo, our distin-

King William, Bismarck, Moltke, the two
Princes Manteufel Room, and others, are
In earnest consultation. A telegram is
laid upon the table. Bismarck, whose
features are gloomy, seizes and reads it.
A smile spreads over hi. eoun,enance, and
