| the Khedlve or, more correctly, tho Kedervi
| el-Masr-KinR OF Egypt. II appears that th'
efforts made by Sir Henry Layard ut Constan
| tinople 10 bring about this result we're 80 6 rea
| az TO ruin his health.
| How far the rule OF the Khedives son anC
successor ls likely 10 be an improvement on tn,
| fathers Is by no means clear. That tho latter
| hns boon n hummer cannot be questioned; thai
| he Is self-indulgent and fond OF pleasure IL
| equally well known. But his Suzerain the
| Sultan. would have been just as much &c
II he could have afforded II. His position
as the heir OF Mohammed and the
head OF tho Moslem Church is tho restraint
that has prevented him from going on ne grand
sprees in Paris and In London as his vassal
At home both have been equally bad. and. ma
far ae money matters go. Ismall Pasha has been
better debtor than any Of the Sultans. for lie
has at least paid tho interest on his dcbts-a
thing which none Of the sultans ever did.
After all, the Khedive's position lie by no
means nm unepvlable one. He grts pension
OF 100000 a year. with the liberty OF living
wherever no plcascs and however he plcases.
Tho most likely thing is that he will select Par is
IA his place Of residence. since he has been
ordered to leave Cairo. and is not allowed to 90
to Constantinople.
To judge from the tone OF the Cane OF Good
Hope newspapers. Sir Garnet wolsoey Is not
very popular In tho country over whose desti-
MEG he Ia TO preside. The Natal Colonisi said
OF him n few days before his new appointment
was gazettcd

enemies whom Sir Garnet will have to contend
with.
Tho win OF tho late Baron Lionel dc Ro,hs-
child has been admitted to probate in England.
aud. as he had never made any distribution OF
his immense personal property during his life
time, his heirs will contribute largely to the
revenues OF the Chancellor OF the Exchequcr
The probate duty payable in England is G19. 800
on the first million. and els. 900 on every nddl-
tional million. The arrangements OF the prop
erty Of the house are modelled on the old patrl-
archal system. and although each Of the sons
occupied houses and estates which were nom
inally his own. yet he was unable to make any
alteration or improvement without the express
sanction OF the patey Jdnliiids. II Is possible
however. that some OF the Baron's personally
may be out OF British jurisdiction and in that
case the financial ability OF the family will. no
doubt. avoid all unnecessary expense.
The great stagnatioD Of business in England
has softencd the hearts Of some Of the large
landed proprietors. and the Duke OF Bedford
has rcini;ted one-hnlf the years rent Of his
firms. This. OF course. is very generous and
very pleasant. II a man is rich enough to afford
such Injuries butte other-less wealthy-land-

drinking their landlords health. they should

Bedford.
The production Of Charles Rende's adaptation

on its way through the provinces making nu-
mcrous converts everywhere One OF the Lon
