AnecdOte of Said Pasha.

Many curious stories are told of Said,
the predecessor of Ismael Pasha, who
has Just been kicked out of the Khedive's
chair at Cairo. The ruin of Egypt con-
summated by Ismael dates from the
reign of Said. One could fill volume
with the accounts of the eccentricities
of this monarch. One day, not know
ing how to reward little service which
one of his subjects had rendered him,
ton the monopoly of furnishing butter
to the entire Egyptian army for one
year. On quitting the palace. the newly
made purveyor sold his privilege for
1,5OO, 900 francs. On another occasion
he desired a garden which one of his
officials possessed near the gates of
Cairo. "How much did you pay for
itP' asked he. ga million. your High
ness.' was the prompt reply, an exag-
geration by two-thirds of the real cost.
"very we'll, I will buy it of you" And
the garden was paid for. This official
had son, charming boy of years.
Bring me your son, said the Khedive
to him one day. The boy was brought
Will you kiss me, little oneP" asked
the ruler graciously. Not" said the
child, "No, for detest you" "You
detest me! and whyP" "Because you
have taken my mammals garden, and
now she does nothing but weep" Said
smiled, stroked his china favorite ges-
ture of his; then suddenly replied: "f
I return it, your garden, then will you
kiss meP" "Ohl yes, your Highness!''
"Very well, it is yours; embrace mel"
By this means the fanctionary got his
property back again, and realized
profit of 1000, 900 francs.-Paris Letter.
MEAT HAsH.-Chop fine any kind
of cold meat (before chopping dredge
with salt and pepper. This is always
the best manner of seasoning hash, as
by this means all parts will be seasoned
alike). If you have cold potatoes, chop
fine and mix with the meat; if they are
hot, mash. ALLOW meat to 3 potato.
Put this mixture in the frying pan, with
little water to moisten it, and stir in a
spoon of butter, or, if you have nice
beef drippings, use that instead of but
ter. Heat slowly, stirring often, and,
when warmed through, cover and let
stand on moderately hot part of the
stove or range 20 minutes. When ready
to dish, fold as you would an omelet,
and dish. Save all the trimmings and
pieces that are left of all kinds of meat,
and have q hash once or twice a week.
1t does not hurt hash to have different
kinds Of meat in it. Avoid having q
| hash greasy.

TIE New York Graphic of a recent
date says: "We have received from a
correspondent in the City Of Mexico q
letter giving an inside view of the pres
emit condition of affairs in that country.
Our correspondent has exceptionally
good means for knowing what is going
on. He holds position which brings
under his eyes information at once the
most sextansive and = thss7 most
accurate. He informs us that the
condition Of the country, from a
political point Of view, is most deplora-
BILE. He gives many reasons for theIba
lief that President Diaz contemplates
coup d'stat and the proclamation of him
self as Dictator. He adds that Diaz-
who, our correspondent insists, is resi-
patriot and IN honest man--is being led
towards the act which he contemplates
by the advice of those in his confidence
Our correspondent also believes 4hat the

The sprasue-Uonkling scandal.

The sprague-COnkling scandal.
The art,cle containing the account Of
the Sprague-Conkling scandal In the
GAZETTE Yesterday, was copied from the
Worlds correspondent at Narragansett
Pier, dated August 10. It corrected
previous reference to the affair which
had stated that German music teacher
was the cause of the trouble. Senator
Conkling was, IL stated, the party whom
ex- Governor Sprague ordered from his
house. 1t appears that it resulted In
Mrs. Sprague leaving her home. The
conclusion OF the article is as follows:
"Gov. Sprague's movements during
Friday morning were noticed by good
many people as being very strange, put
no one thought that be contemplated
personal injury towards any Individual.
After the encounter Mrs. Sprague went
to a Mr.. Perry's near BY and subteq ueotly
to the Tower House, where It is under
stood she remained over night. Y~ster-
day she gave orders to have her trunks
packed at the ex-Goveruor's house and
put on the train for Providence. She
sent her children and maid to The depot
nearest the Tower Hill House and said
she wouli take the cars at the y NarraRaD-
sett Pier Depot, which she subsequently,
did, aud met her family higher up The
line. Before her departure fpr Provi-
dence, however, Mrs. Sprague went to
the Lake Side House near Silver Lake.
She drove there and called out Professor
Llnck, who Is the German teacher

to feel such pronounced anhpathy. She
exchanged few words with hlu,, which
may have given rise 10 the introduction u
Of his name into the story. Soon after

Gen. VIM. Malone to which the
latter excepted. A correspondence
ensued between them on the subject,
and the matter of difference, it is
definitely stated, has been adjusted
without resort to the code.
PETERSBURG, Oct. 15.-A few
days since a petition, numerously
signed by colored people of this
city, was forwarded through U. s..
Internal Revenue Collector Brady
and }. II. W. Rankin to Fred.
Douglass, asking him to visit Pc
tersburg and address them on their
duty in the present State debt
canvass. Mr.. Douglass responded
in long letter, regretting his ina
blllty to accept the invitation, in
consequence of his being booked
for the campaign in New York. He
says in.his letter that he is against
reputation in every form, and most
earnestly advises his people not to
give support, countenance or en-
couragement to readjusters or repu.
diators.

tic meeting of Funders was held in

the settlement of the State debt or
the Mccullough bill basis. The
meeting did not adjourn until late
