bert went in 1876 to his aid that was the pre-
dominant feeling in his mind. Hence he
consented without difficulty to place
several Of the most important branches
of his administration i'll English
hands. In some cases he gave to
this arrangement the sanction Of q decree
securing to Enslishmen certain important
offices; III others it rested merely OH the good
will of the Viceroy. The decree of 1876 has
been confirmed and in part reEnaeted by the
so-called ''Law Of Liquidation of 1850,
which was accepted by all the Powers, and

The Egyptian Customs, the Egyptian Post

PARIS, Iuly a9.--Jacqucs Olfenbach has
had lis apotheosis this evening. It was all
apotfleosls after his own heart. 4 number
of his old friends and fellow-workers
assembled at Saint Germain, in the
pavilion Of Henry ". to do honor to his
memory and to attend the Inauguration Of
the 1ifelike bust which has been erected in
the garden of that historic restaurant
Tho inauguration ceremony, if anything
so Simple can be called 4 ceremony, was pre-
ceded by 4 dinner OH the terrace. Only
thirty sat down to table, but almosteyery ot1e
OF the guests was celebrity. Among those
present were Albert Wolf, Vlctorien Sar,lou,
Francisque Sarcey, WHO for once had forgotten
his hatred Of 0peretta, Henri AIeilhac and
Ludovic lIalevy,, Detti1le the painter, Francis
Maynard Of the Figaro, Geroine, Jnles
C1aretle, Maitoe Lachatld,+ the great lawyer,
fresh from tho loss Of d notorious lawsuit;
Gueraud and Massenet, tile composers; and
the sculptor Franceschi, the author Of;
OIenbach's bust.
THE DINNER
was enlivened by the echoes Of the dead
composers operas, played with spirit by the
band Of a regiment OF Chasseurs stationed
in the grounds. Late i'll the evening
move was made to the place occupied
by the bust It stands under a "leafy apple

coplous and Of healthy character. 1t is im-
possible to say detinitiy whether tile dis
charge comes nOYfrom the end Of the wound

live inches below and to the right Of the
navel, and just over the groin. Its believed
that the black and blue spot which was yls-
ibIe on:thc: right side Of the abdomen for
several days after the President received his
Injury marked the bullets location, and this
is confirmed by such results as have been
obtained with the induction balance. The
ball has given no trouble as yet, and may
become encysted, and cease altogether to be
source Of anxiety. In any event, however,
the surgeons express perfect confidence that
the Presidents recovery will be complete,
and will not befoIlowed BY any disabilityor
permanent weakness. The surgeons report
during the day, and a very perceptible inl-
proyc.nent in the general condition. DR..
Agnew arrived this afternoon, and said the
President appeared to him much better than
when he last saw him. At this hour the
PATIENTS pulse is below 100, his temperature
and respiration are about normal, and lie is

Two more people at the White House have
