Arab Pasha has thanked the Khedive for

Europeans, which will ruin the country.

The PdU Mall Gazette in the following
statement goes to the root of the Eggp-
tian question, and at the same time re-
cognizes a contingency that is very likely
to occur: 1T seems little short of fatu-
Gus to imagine that Ourabi, who began
his career as the bitter enemy of Turkish
influence in Egypt. will content to throw
up the game in obedience to a summons
from Constantinople. But in some way
or other Ourabi must be reduced to ODE
dience. In all the uncertainties and
perplexities of the Egyptian crisis there
is one thing upon which there is univer-
ga agreement. The Western powers
must stand by the Khedive. He has
placed himself in our hands. He has
risked his life in reliance on our word
To desert him would be an act of
treachery of which England is incapable.
Yet it must be admitted that it is by no
means easy to see where the force is to
come from to strike down the sword of
the dictator, if the Sultan were to refuse
to send his troops. or if France were to
place veto upon their dispatch to
Egypt"

"DiscOverT OF the COmstOck.
Chicago Morning Ne,0s.

Ben Holiday is feature and fixture
of Washington. He lives in a beautiful
residence on K street. where he enter
tains coterie of friends in right royal
fashion. His fortune is estimated at from
81, 600, 900 to $4,000, 600, so that it m "
be fairly presumed that if he should
prove successful In the prosecution of
his claim for $3.50, 900 he will not be in
immediate want for the necessaries of
life. He has retired from business, but
amuses his leisure hours with seeing the
Congressman about his claim. Though
advanced in age he shows no signs Of
failing in strength and health. His hair
is just turning gray, but his frame is as
powerful and vigorous as it was in early
youth, when he established and operated
his famous overland stage line, known
as the pony express. He likes to tell of
bis experience as pioneer of advancing
civilization on the Pacific coast, among
the Argonauts of 49,
His story of how the famous Comstock
lode was discovered is interesting. AS
he tells it, one of his stage drivers had a
prospector's passion for broken rocks,
outcroppings, float and other indications
of mineral treasures. On certain day
he came to Mr.. Holiday full of dis
covery he had made, and showed a sam
pie having a wonderfully large proper
tion of silver in its composition. He
made proposition to sell one-half of his
mine to Mr.. Holladay for 81, 900 for
money with which to operate it. The
offer was refused, and the driver resign
ed and disappeared. In month or so
company was formed and operations
were begun. The mine yielded the rich
est ore ever taken out of any mine up to
that time. Comstock, for that was the
stage drivers name. became suddenly one
of the wealthlest men in the country.
The stock rose rapidly from hundreds 10
thousands of dollars, and finally $780,
600 was paid for a claim twenty feet
across the face of the lode. Next to the
Bonanza it was probably the richest mine
ever discovered on the earth Mr.. Com
stock followed the rule, and from being
one of the richest men soon became one
of the poorest, and finally died penni-
less. Holiday tells many similar stories
to the friends who drop into his cosy
rooms every evening to enjoy a fragrant
Havana, a glass of wine or a game of
bluff. His confidence in his claim being
eventually paid by Congress is unshaken,
and he says he win persevere till success 8
crowns his efforts.
