An Egyptian PrIncess, Court.

Hon. John NJ. Francis writes
from Egypt to his paper, the Troy
Times, an entertaining account of
his visit to the Princess Manzoor,
the eldest daughtero of the Khedive,
and the only wife of Pasha Man
zoor. She occupies one Of the
many fine palaces belonging to the
Khediye, AS the Princess speaks

Visitors are met at the gate inside

Ane-looking young Circassian girls
beautifully attired in gay colored
silk dresses with long trains,
iaunty silk turbans, satin shoes OF
gay colors, and rich jewelry. There
the visitors are received by two Nu-

Miss Princess, who is extremely
beautiful, and wears a diamond
studded girdle that would ransoma
king. He promises Morris count
less treasures from his diamond beds
and gold fields, and the help of his
whole tribe in collecting specimens;
but his pride is pitched in a royal
key, and before marriage can take
place he insists that the son of
science shall take the Indian beauty
to his American home as a sister and
obtain the consent of his parents
to the match. The father runs a
10xl2 lamp-store here, and though
he cautioned Ernest not to get
mixed up with any of those girls
down there, he shows a disposition
to favor this diamond future for
his son.

TO the Good Peoples of Calif0r-
nta-What we can see, you can see.
What's bad. What's right, What's
wrong. Your great government
all over the States says to all we
make treaty with, come and be
good and give you protection all
the same, and for bad punish all
the same. The Chinee no like to
make treaty at first, like to keep all
her peoples at home. The english
and the americans say we shall, for
we have no right to keep ourselves.
They fight and make us open our
ports for their peoples to trade.
Then they write in treaty we come
to 90 to their countries all the same
as german, irish, french and other
peoples. We come to California
and 90 to Australia. In Australia
they no like our habits and customs,
but they treat us all the same as
Others. In California the ameri-
cans treat us all the same. The
politicals say we are all bad and
dirty that come from China! You
can see? We no drink in the
saloons, nor fight with other peo-
pies. We keep our monies and work
cheap. There are bad irish and
germans all same as chinaman.
There are a great many more china
men than both'in California. You
go to the city Hall court and see if
there are more bad cinnamon. The
great traveller captain say the euro
pean no take us in Hong Kong,
Canton and Shanghai without
bonds. You can write and see, all
china servants there. What for the
americans have us in their houses il
we are not clean and steal? You
can see? CHoNG .Wo.

a large, richly furnished wait
ing-roOm, where they are received
by the princess lady of honor and
offered richly-jeweled chibouks and
coffee a la Turk, in cup-holders of
gold, studded with diamonds. Then
a half-dozen more pretty slaves,
gayly dressed and richly jeweled,
conduct the visitors through sew
eral beautiful apartments, followed
by the train Of girls, and at last
reach the door or the grand salon,
where the princess, surrounded by
q beyy of still more beautiful and
elegantly-dressed slaves, meets them
and leads the way to a large and
luxurious diyan. Immediately the
inevitable chibouks are again
brought, while the princess enjoys
hers amazingly. The tobacco was
so highly perfumed that its natural
odor was entirely disguised, and
one realized only a most delightful
fragrance. Again coffee was served,
after which the princess had re-
course to a jeweled cigarette box,
from which she took out a richly
ieweled cigarette-holder, and ap-
peared quite as familiar with ciga-
rettes as with the chibouk. One of
the many beautiful gilt ornaments
upon little table near the divan
was in the shape of a tree, from
which issued dainty little cigarettes.
This salon was magnificent in its
furniture and mirrors, its floral
and ornamental decorations. After
an hour of pleasant chat, the prin-
cess, taking her visitors by the
hand, led them into her little bou-
doir, which was a gem of beauty,
with its many mirrors and gilded
furniture of antique forms, COW
cred with richly-embroidered Per-
sian cashmere, mixed with crimson
velvet, and baskets, mounds and
festoons of beautiful flowers of
French manufacture. All of the
decorations in the place are artifi-
cial work manufactured in Paris.
The princess study-room is another
bijou of an apartment. In one
corner of the room was a large sal
yer Of gold and silver, upon which
was a bowl of same metals-the
princess wash-basin, as she told
us near at hand was the towel of
white silk embroidered with gold
and silver thread, and the Bohe-
mian glass vase Of perfumed water,
which she considered an essential
accompaniment. In this room were
some beautiful ornamentsi in alabas-
ter and in gold and silver, There
were twenty-five slaye-girls in at
tendance during the visit, all Of
whom were richly attired and jew
eled. The princess has fifty slave
girls at her command.
