high theatre Of action which he apprO-
priated. He is IN no danger of being
deemed a Nero. The best thing fos his

life at the hands of his country's foe ;
and the worst thing the English could
do for themselves would be to slay him.
They have the might to do it; but it
would he a cowardly thing in them.
Arab acted in accordance with the SEN
timcnt of his people. There can hardly
be a question that they do not like the
English possession of the soil. He was
in rebellion against the ruler of Egypt,
but that ruler was u puppet in the hands
of the English, and Arabi's rebellion
was much more in name than in essence.
lie was not in rebellion against his
country, but was acting the part of a
patriot. That he was unable to fill the
bill was his fault, and one for VIII ch he
should justly die, but at the hands of
his injured countrymen, whom he un-
dertOok and failed miserably to save
from English dominion, and not at the
hands of the English whom he weakly
opposed.
