Sinister rumors reach concerning the dsap-
pearancc certain ladies who once belonged to the
harem of Ismail Saddick. the celebrated Mouffetich
1t will be remembered that when Ismail pacha
caused his condant and foster brother to be sczed
poisoned and thrown into the Nile the women who
belonged to his harem were transferred 10 Kasr-el-
Ali. The luxuries enjoyed in tho hsrem of the
Mouifetch had excited great jealousy among the
who lived on the Khedive's bounty, and when
finally the rival harcm abolished and it's patron
murdered some of the women shared 1t is said, the
same fate. In any case, they disappeared In most
mysterious manner. The fsvoritcs OF tho Moufetich
have never been heard since. Ismail
pacha may have imagined that they knew of
the secrets which he sought to obtcratc forever

Under such circumstances IL is natural that the
men who composed the harem of the Moutfetich
and who have survived his downfall should have
still preserved feelings of resentment; and 1t
that the other day they had the imprudencc to give
expression to these sentiments when they heard
that the khedive Ismail, the author of oil their
misfortunes, and OF the death of their companions
had at last been banished from the country I'm

tect them; they entirely ut the mercy of the
