a CURIOUS STORY.

We have from correspondent curious bit
of information about the young commander-in
Chief of the Egyptian contingent on the Danube.
Though but twenty-four years old, Prince Has,
san, son OF the Khedive, is an experienced SOL
der, and has already had his share of haps and
mishaps. The young Prince received his mill.
tary education mt Woolwich and Berlin, after
which he occupied the office of Minister of War
to his father. During the late war with Abys-
sinia he was seriously wounded and made pris
oner. Although treated with consideration,
King John, ''to punish him." as he expressed it,
''for fighting against Christians" ordered that
q large cross should be tattooed on the back OF
each of the Princes hands. This was done, and
when his wounds were healed the young officer
was released and returned to Cairo. Arrived at
home, Prince Hassan consulted the best Euro
peaA and native physicians and chemists, and
Copt soothsayers promising q large sum to any
one who should rid him OF these mementoes OF
the Abyssinian King, Advice was freely offered
and experiments tried and the Prince under
went much suffering. but all in vain-the Chris
tian crosses were indelible. In despair he
finally reported to Dervis for advice. and the
holy mau communicated remedy which, at
least, had the merit of being undeniably eff.
cacious. "Chop off both thy hands," he said to
the Prince, "better live without hands than
wear forever these signs of the intidel giaours'
But Hassan relished it but little, and 30 re-
mains to this day tattooed with the hateful
symbols. This is why no one sees him without
gloyes.-[New York World.
