PRINCE HAssAN AND HIS GLovEs.-we
have from q correspondent a curious bit Of
information about the young COMMANDMENT
Chief OF the Egyptian contingent o N the
danube. Though but twenty-four years old.
Prince Hassan, son OF the Kh6div6, Is ian ex.
perienced soldier, and has already had his
share of haps and mishaps. The young
Prince received his military education at
Woolwioh and Berlin, aftcr which he occu.
pied the office Of Minister of War to his
father. During the late war with Abyssinia
be was seriouslywounded and made prisoner.
Although treated with great consideration.
King John, TO punish him, " as he expressed
Il, 'for fighting against Christians" ordered
that q large cross should be tatoocd 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 10
Cairo. Arrived at home, Prince Hassan con-
suited the best European as well AS native
physicians Lnd chemists, and Copt soo,h-
layers, promising II !Hrge sum to any one who
should rid him of these Inemcntncs of tho
Abyssinian King. Advice was freely offered
and experiments tried the Princeunderwent
much suffering. but all in vain Christian
crosses were indellible. In despair he finally
resorted to q Dervish for advice. and the HOLY
man communicated n remedy which, Mt least,
mad the merit of being uudeninbly sficacious.
