EGYPTIAN OFFICIALS.
How that Country II Burdened With
Carpet-Baggers Holding Office
What They Cost the Egyptians.

How that Country is Burdened With
Carpet-Baggers Holding Office
What They Cost the Egyptians.
Liverpool Mercury.
No wonder that the cry of Egypt for
the Egyptians is again raised in the
land of the Pharaohs. 1t is evident from
u paper which has been sent home by
Sir Edward Maiet, that we have left
hardly a place in the Egyptian civil
service which IS worth having TO the
Egyptians themselves and even some of
those which are hardly worth the pos
session, and which might, in all consci-
ence, be left to the khedive's own sub
jects, have been appropriated by the
OccIdentals. There is an army of 800
Europeans at this moment living upon
the slender treasury of Cairo; and of all
natIonalitiCs s, il is tTue-English, French,
German, italian, Austrian, Greek, Swiss,
Poles and American, but it is evident
enough that they elbow out the Egyp
tians themselves. The secretary of the
Khedive's own private office is a
Frenchman, with a salary of 81 200 a
year; the permanent head of the finance
department is an Austrian with e, 900 g
year ct the head Of the land registry arc
an Englishman and Frenchman diVId-
ing g 600 between them. The director
of the lighthouse and his deputy are
Engiishmen, the one with 81 600 year
the other with 81 600 a year. At the
head OF the war department is an Ameri-
can with 81 500 year. The director
of the police at Cairo is an Italian.
Rousseau Bey, Frenchman, gets e, 500
Q year as director general of public
works. An Englishm8n with Ga, 600
. year Is president Of the railway coun-
ell. and his second in command is
Frenchman with $2,500. The commIs-
saries Of the state domain, who gets g,
600 year each, are English and French.
In fact every high post il held by
aliens TO the country, who cannot be
blamed If, however conscientious. they
are more Concerned for their own pros
peEifY tkan for that OF Egypt But
what is remarkable is the number of
.minor posts filed by the foreigners.

Last Saturday evening about half past

~ Commissioner Suddenly Takes
III. naare


On Saturday when the procession OF
Sells Bros. great circus and menagerie
had reached a point near the intersOc-
ton OF Commercial and Fifth streets,
one of the young elephants, whose grace
full figure was on exhibition before
thousands of admiring eyes, became
suddenly displeased with the treatment
lac was receiving from his boss, and
waltzed out of the procession with an
air of injured dignity. He was at once
pursued by the attendants, but had the
advantage of couple of good jumps and
a hop ard skip the start of them. The
way that elephant "nade tracks, was a
matter of amusement as well as surprise
to those who witnessed the chase. He
entered the premises of Hon. T. n.
Sedgwick, county attorney, on the cor
ner OF Fifth and Market, by q rear open
ing TO the lot, when he evidently
felt measurably secure, and proceeded,
at leisure, 10 walk around the house in
order {" present himself at the front
door. Now, SedgwIck was busy writing
just inside of one of the rooms of the
house and did not notice the approach
of the strange caller. But just outside
the door ON the porch sat County Com
missioner Jones, of NeoshO Rapids.
The commissioner was absorbed in the
work of MIR. Sedgwick, but not so much
so but that his eye soon caught a
glimpse of the trunk of the OYcr,familiaF
beast. 1t is unnecessary to staie that
John ''stood not on The order of his GO
ing" but at about two jumps landed in
the street, thus putting the fence be-
tween himself and the elephant. Mr..
Scdgwick had observed the hasly
manner in which Jones 'lit out"
and on going Ca the door dis
covered his new visitor. He al once
