The Latest Plague of Egypt.

The great miracle in Egypt, writes a
correspondent of the London Times, is
how a Government which is obliged to
pay so much for its money, and which
is the common prey of adventurers,
peculators and spectators, foreign and
domestic, exposed to plunder, spolia-
tion and eXtortion, contrives to keep
afoat. There is not an article sold to
the Khedive or his people, from pin
to a steam engine, which does not yield
tribute. We read good deal of the
word "backsheesh" in all books and
writings about Egypt, but We do not
know how often it is the echo Of the ut
terance from Europe. In no other
country in the world does a traveller OF
rank expect to be lodged, boarded and
carried about gratis by the ruler. Here
it is the rule. III the Governor OF an
Indian Province, with which Egypt has
got no more to do than with kam-
schatka, arrives at SIez, on his way to
Cairo or Alexandria, he has a special
train put al his disposal when asked
for; il he wishes to stay in Cairo he
has house assigned to him, carriages
and horses, a staff OF servants, and his
table spread with every luxury. Does
he want to go up the Nile, he gets one
of the Viceroy's steamers to tow hls
diabeah. Many people come here who
expect their Consuls to ask such favors
as right, never rejecting on the whole
some example set in other countries,
and more especially i'll our own, where
even greatness allied to Royalty IS oc,
cosionally obliged to take care of itself
in private apartments and pay for Its
own broughams.
The extent to which such a system
can be pushed must be witnessed to be
credited. Fortunately, some Consuls'
I General resist unreasonable demands
aud draw proper distinctions, other
wise there would be but little exagger'
alton in the sketch on the stage of {
yiceroy's guest who refers his washer
woman for the payment OF her bill tc
the Minister of Finance, and pays for
box of pills by an order on the Minis
I ter OF the Interior.

The Old American AristOcracy.

The most marked feature of colonial
society was its aristocratic char
acter. Our ancestors brought with
them the notions of rank and prece-
cedence which prevailed at home, and
even in those colonies which, like the
New England, wore established on a
democratic basis, the aristocratlc feel
ing of the superiors was almost as
strong rs in the feudal South and New
York. Custom gave privileges which
the laws did not recognize, and COM
paratively few families monopolized
official dignities. John Adams. for in
stance, mentions that the Chandler
family "engrossed almost all the pub
lie offices and employment i'll the town
and county" of Worcester, Massachus-
etts. Ii is well-knOwn how the Hutch
inson kin filed the chief places of pub
lie trust in that province. In New
York the Delanceys and LivingstOns
wers said to be ''the two great families
upon whose motions all their politics
turn" The aristOcratic spirit OF the
Nirginian magnates Is proverbial tC
this day. In South Carolina the gen.
try, we are told, were more numerous
than in any other colony III North
America.
1t was common to see several Office;
in the hands of a single person. who
perhaps was colonel of militia, judge OF
probate, justice of the peace. member
of the legislative body, etc. The
colonial families, however, were com.
PEELED to share such distinctions witt
The favorites of courtiers. A dignitary
of New York, writing in 1746 of th'
low rate of judicial salaries, which wer'
not enough to tempt an able lawyer Il
leave his practice, fears that If thel
