EGYPT.
The Khedive's Governmeni. i.

The great miracle in Egypt, writes a
correspondent of the London Times, is
how government which is obliged to
the common prey OF adventurers, pecu-
lators and spectators, foreign and do.
mestic, exposed to plunder, spoliation
and extortion, contrives to keep afloat
There is not an article sold to the Khe.
dive or his people, from a pin to steam
engine, which does not yield tribute. We
read a good deal of the word back
sheesh," in all books and writings about
Egypt, but we do not know often it is the
echo of the utteraDce from Europe. In
no other country in the world does
traveller of rank expect to be lodged,
boarded and carried about gratis by the
ruler. Here it is the rule. If the gov
ernor of an Indian Province, with which
Egypt has got no more to do than with
Kamschatka, arrives at Suez, on bis way
to Cairo or Alexandria, he has a special
train put at his disposal when asked for;
II he wishes to stay in Cairo, he has a
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
Vieeroy's steamers to tow his diabeah.
Many people come here who expect their
consuls to ask such favors as of right,
never rejecting on the wholesome exam
pie set in other countries, and more
especially in our own, where even great
ness allied to loyalty is occasionally
obliged to take care Of itself in private
apartments, and pay for its own brough-
ANS.
The extent to which such system can
be pushed must be witnessed to be cred
tied Fortunately some Consuls Gener-
al resist unreasonable demands and draw
proper distinctions, otherwise there
would be but little exaggeration in the
sketch ON the stage of Viceroy's guest
who refers his washerwoman for the pay
ment of her bill to the Minister of FL
nance, and pays for box of pills by an
order on the Minister of the Interior.

A MlIIiner Princess,

The Pail Mall Gazstte, of June II,
SAYS: "Vice Chancellor Malins had be-
fore him yesterday the case of Turner
vs.. Bonaparte, in which a motion was
made for an injunction to restrain
Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte and
Princess Justina Eleanor Nina, his wife,
from removing certain pictures which
had been deposited with firm in Bond
street as a security for debt due from
the Princess to the plaintiff, Mrs. Turner.
1t was alleged by the plaintiff bill that
in December, 1872, the Princess agreed
to purchase from the plaintiff millinery
business in Bond street by paying e300
for the good will, and e236 for the stock
in trade, that the plaintiff had received
no part of the purchase money, although
the Princess had entered into possession
and carried on the business, and that
recently the plaintiff found that the
Princess had contracted TO sell the stock
in trade at large profit The defend
ants counsel said the Princess had not
been served with notice; the allegations
of the bill we're denied, and the Princess
required to answer them. The Vice
Chancellor granted an interim order, as
against the Princess upon service of
notice of motion, and as against the
Prince upon ex parte application, re-
straining the removal Of the pictures for
q fortnight.

1 REVIEW OF THE SiTI ALTON.

The recent catastrophe with which
we have been afflicted appears TO have
seriously affected the activity and in
telli-ence Of our usually en.erprising
citizens. From the occurrence Of the
devastating flood Of Friday last until
the afternoon of yesterday. when the
wailin- totes of the funeral march an
nounced the conveyance of the last
victim of the disaster TO the bourn
whence no traveller returns. our entire
community has been suffering under 4
hvdrocephalic stupor. Every indt-
vidual has had water on the brain.
Let Us look our disaster i'll the face.
We have buried our dead; let us re
pair our losses. and guard against
other losses in the future. Eureka is
situated at the confluence of four great
canyons Railroad, Eureka. New York
and Goodwin canyons, which drain Il

SUBMITS of the mountains rising from
one 10 three thousand feet above our
level. From the point where these
channels deboueh into our valley

nearly equal-ahout five miles.
