Prince Hahn, of Egypt, who has been
mentioned so frequently during the pres
ent crisis as the possible successor of the
Khedive, appears to be a warm friend,
not only of Arab Bey, but also of the
Frerch. The Paris correspondent of the
Pail Mall Gazette says of him:
HE is a man of ability, was brought
up in Paris, and avOws that if he were
Khedive he would be less afraid of
French than of English influence on the
Nile. He was sent here to be educated
in 1841, and remained until 1849. Al.
though at that time boy, he was much
noticed by Louis Philippe, his family,
and Ministers. The head of a
Catholic mission in the East had
some weeks ago a conversation with
Hahn, who expressed the deepest ad-
miration for the spirit which animated
the missionaries-whoa are all French
for their zeal In works of charity, and
regretted that Tewfik was best disposed
towards Protestant evangelists. The
Egyptian Prince said that Catholic re-
ligeux and religeuses taught their pupils
to be sociable, and many charming and
useful arts, which lifted them above the
barbarian state; but that the Anglicans
only scattered Bibles and Paternoster row
leaflets He used his power equitably
when he presided over the Ministerial
Council of Ismail. The ex-Khedive,
who did not understand humane feel
ings, suspected that Hahn was trying
with an ambitious object to render him
self popular as friend of the fellaheen.
On Egyptian topics he is very reserved !;
hut he is convinced that he will yet be
Khedive. If NJ Gambetta had remain
ed in Office it is probable that he would
have made an attempt to restore the old
order of succession for the advantage of
Hahn, who is the only surviving SON
of Mehemet ALI. and therefore his eld-
est male descendant. The German Ann
bassador has high opinion of his abili-
ties. and once said that if Europe really
wished Egypt to be governed for the
benefit of the Egyptians the powers
would send Hahn there.

A few days since there appeared in the
Mirror and Adsertiser a poem In honor Of
Mr.. Stephens, copy OF which, together
with a warm letter, was forwarded to the
great commoner, by the author, NJ. g. B.
The following is the reply:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, WASHING.
TON, June 10.-MY DEAR SIR: Your very
kind letter OF the Sth inst, with enclosure,
received this evening. You will accept nay
thanks for both. You need hardly be as
sured that the sentiments expressed towards
me In the letter as well as the starzas are
highly appreciated.
The question OF the Governorship, SO far
as am concerned, Is With the people.
have no personal aspirations for the Office,
but II the people shall see fs TO select me,
viii serve them to the best of nv ability,
an 4 With the fidelity and devotion to the In
terests, rights, honor and glory OF Georgia,
which have ever controlled my actions dur
ing now a long and not uneventful life. Il
is true, It is said by many aud perhaps SIN
cerelY thought by them, that am too old
for the office. THIS may be true, but yet
am not as old as Mr.. Clay was when he was
81 strongly urged the last time for the PresI-
dency, nor as old as he was when he eff scted
the last great compromise which was
the crowning glory OF his life; nor
sm / as old BY nearly a decade as
Eugland, But this is matter not for me
70 discuss or judge of. The people must
decide for themselves. The test OF Office,
in my Judgment, as to unfitness on account
of age, is not the number of years to which
a man may attain, but his capacity for the
business entrusted to his charge. No one,
Of course, should be the judge Of hls own
capacity-but certainly should not assume
the discharge OF any duty that did not
feel capable of dscharging. You will, Of
course, excuse these remarks, in regard to
my age. They are only intended as an an
swer to this objection raised against
me by showing several instances
land thousands of others might
be added to those given) when men much
older than | am hsvs performed and are
performing duties OF much higher and
more responsible character than those OF
the Office Of Governor of Georgia. High
and responsible as these are-and no one
could estimate their responsible character
IN higher degree than l dC-yet they can
hardly be considered in responsibility as
equal in degree to those attending the Pre-
mership of Great Britain, over whose
millions of population, commerce and do
minion the sun never sets. But enough Of
this.
My dear sir, you have my kindest regards
and best wishes. Yours truly,
ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS.

BALDWIN,

Derives its Chief Importance from the junction
of the Tropical Railroad with the Transit at
this point, and also as the trading point OF a
lake region to the south, connected by a canal,
recently dredged and put in operation. The
Tropical Railroad passes southwark to Ocala,
in the rich farming county of Marion, crossing
in its route the Palatka and Gainesville narrow
gauge which intersects it at Ctra. Waldo is
therefore the gateway or entrance to the
great central and southern lake region of the
peninsula, the home Of the orange, the lemon,
the banana, the pineapple, the guaya, the
cOnOanut aud other tropical fruits, and a re-
giOE now attracting thousands from all parts
of thG Onion. But Unjust reserve further COM
