Eastern Hospitality.

As soon as the sultan of Zanzibar was
informed that several Christian and Mo.
hammedtn fugitives, who had escaped
with their families from Egypt, had
landed at Zanzibar, he gave Immediate
orders to his men to treat them with
Arab hospitality, making no distinction
of creed or race. They were according
" provided with dwellings, good cloth,
ing, and ali other necessities. The
sultan constantly visited them, to see
for himself whether his directions were
being attended to. The poor fugitives
we're extremely grateful for what had
been done for them, and constantly
invoked heavens blessing upon their
benefactor. The sultan's kindness did
not st,p here, for when the fugitives
wished to return to their homes he gave
orders to his treasurer to provide them
with money and other necessities. The
sultan repudiates having given any help
to the Egyptian national party, aud
affirms that his reasons for assisting the
iugltives were purely philanthropic.
