Z LIVELY BUTTER There is an old goat
owned ia Detroit which has received a
great deal of trailing from the boys.
Last Fourth ofJuly they discovered that
il they stuck fre,cracker in the end Of q
cane and held it at William, be would low

bracticcd the trick SO much that the goat
will tackle any human being who points a
stick at him. A few days ago he was
loadug near Tue corner OIL, rbird and Lewis
streets, when a corpulent citizen came up
and stopped to talk with a friend. They
happened to speak Of sidewalks, when the
corpulcnt citizen pointed his cane just to
the left of the goat, and said
That's the worst piece Of sidewalk in
this town"
The goat had been cyeiog the cane, and
the moment IT. came up ls lOwesed bis
head, made six or eight jumps, and his
head struck the corpqlent citizen just on
"thc belt" The man went over into a
mass ofo!d tin, dilapidated butter kegs
aud abandoned hoop skirts, aud the goat
turned somersault the other way, while
slim citizen threw stones at boy seated
90 doorstep, who was laughing tears as
big as clestnuts, and crying OUT
"Ob, its 'nuf to kill . fellor."

THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL
LARS A DAY.

The late Consul. General of the United
States at Cairo, George Butler, while in
Washington recently, gave correspond
ent some fresh and very interesting in
formation in relation to the wealth and
magnificence of the Pasha of Egypt.
Said Pasha is described as q person
of culture, speaking French with ease,
and English little; fully educated at
the Polytechnic school in Paris, and
wearing the dress of Christian people.
He is shrewd and rich merchant,
and not soldier by propensity; and
his income and the luxury of his court
exceed the tales of Haroun al Raschid's
splendor. He has an income of $11O,-
600 900 per annum, or more than half
as much as the whole annual expenses
of the United States Government, in
elusive OF the cost of the public debt
To keep our $4,000 or 10000 Office
holders, our army, our navy, do the
public printing, ETC.. requires SIT ,OOO,-
600 month. The Pasha who has no
more subjects than there are citizens of
New York State, by Mr.. Buffers care
full estimation has between nine and ten
millions month or more than three
hundred thousand day. He has TWEEN
ty-seven palaces, all the corporate prop
erty-or that which with us would be
controlled by corporations-in the coun-
try, and no law whatever but what he
can think of or will from day to day.
he has four wives and vast harem,
yet ne is temperate and prudent, and
still he is not happy. He wants to be
King; but the denomination of Tur-
key sits upon his dreams, like the COB
bier upon the full boy after Christmas
dinner.
AS an indication of said Pasha's
wealth, it is related that the Empress of
France said to him, in Paris:
Viceroy, I should like very much to
visit your Pyramids, but 1 cannot ride
on camel, and l suppose I can not 90
there by any road"
&C Your Majesty can 60 there by either
railway or highway, as you like" said
the Viceroy.
When she went there at the OPENING
OF the Suez Canal, the Empress found
a road twelve miles long, across the
desert, lighted with gas, shaded all the
way with transplanted trees; and half
way on was a palace for her repose.
with second palace to entertain her at
the Pyramids-all especially made for
this one journey.
