Arab Bey and his COuntrymen.

The most prominent political parsonage in
the Eastern hemisphere just now is Arab
Bey, the Egyptian minister of war and lead
or of the National party. Not very much
Is known of his antecedents, but the little
that is known will be interesting to our read
ers. In spite of his name he is not an Arab.
but an Egyptian of pure blood; though how
this is reconciled with his claim to be O lin
cal descendant of Mohammed through his
daughter Fatima isnot stated He was born
In 1889, received his education at the Ell AZ
har university, and afterwards entered the
military school at Cairo, where he remained
four years and left with the commission of
lieutenant. His first introduction to the gen.
eral public was not pleasant being accused
OF misconduct during the reign of Khedive
Ismail and dismissed from the army. He sue
ceeded, however, in having his case reopen
ed, was acquitted of the charges preferred,
restored, and soon elevated to the rank of
colonel. He served in the Abyssinian cam
paign with some credit, but his popularity
with his soldiers was greater than his mil
ltary skill. This popularity was the main
element in his subsequent rapid rise to pow
er, and constitutes his chief strength to-day,
when he holds in his hands the destinies of
Egypt-perhaps the destinies of Turkey.
he Is said to be well read not only in Arabic
and Turkish, but in English literature; is of
mild and humane disposition, and strongly
inclined to religion. He has but one wife
and his domestic relations are reported har-
monious and happy.
In this connection it may be well to give
the latest statistics of Egyptian population

EDITOR FREE PRnss; Lately saw wag

On enquiry learned that Mr.. Kennedy
near here had over one hundred acres Of il,
that at McDade Jour railroad station,) he
was offered six dollars per hundred. He
would not accept that and held for higher
price.
Now at that price an acre would bring
not less than $50 an acre. That beats
cotton, particularly il we consider how lit
tie labor it take to raise it, and that it will
grow on our poorest, sandiest lnnds.
Again, one of our German citizens near
town, on poor sandy land, made and sold
within the Inst three weeks, wster-melons
to one grocer for eighty dollars; besides
that he sold many dollars worth of cucum-

The crop news from Arkansas is most
cheering. Cotton throughout the State gives
promise of an extraordinary yield, while her
corn crop is unprecedented. The indica-
lions are that the yield will exceed any pre-
vious year by many millions of bushels. The
general estimate is ten per cent. greater than
last years crop, and in most sections it is
safe from drouth and other disasters. Kan
sas and Missouri are also blessed with pros
poets of an abundant yield and bodntiful
supply of foodstutfs next year. Texas will
make surplus to feed 100000 immigrants.
