 The Egyptian Revolution.
 From the Hour.l
 Events march rapidly in Egypt. Two months ago all was calm. Every sign was present of peaceful and prosperous summer. Through the rich soil of the Thebaid the peasant drove his plough; in the villages, unopposed, the hsadman gathered his taxes, the small Greek merchant his rents, the agent of the great foreign banks his interest. The bazaars were filled with native women, bargaining for bracelets, necklaces and anu lets. At Cailo the crowd of foreigners sat beneath the sycamores in the Esbek1eh gar dens, slipping Turkish coffee and Ii h,tening to Fahrbach's latest gslop. There had been ministerial crisis, trial of Circassian officers, a commutation of their sentence by the khe dive; but these matters were left for the conversation of the consular cavarses, who strutted about in their blue uniforms and of the fat Pachas, who trotted round on their sleek little donkeys. Who could expect the foreign colonist to take interest in Egyptian politics
 Yet the times were ripe for revolt. After a slow process of gestation, Egypt had given birth to national leader. When history writes the life of Arabi Bey, it may question his sincerity; it will not doubt his strength. Like many other revolutionists, like Wat
 Tyler, Tell or Massafiello, he had personal grievance. After rapid promotion under Said Pacha, he had been accused of fraud, court -martialled and degraded. A fellah by birth, fairly well educated, master of rude style of eloquence, he waited his chance to come forward as 8 patriot. Who shall tell what lessons he drew from the story of Niche met Ali Who shall interpret his dream of 8 vast Arab empire, stretching form Morocco to the Red Sea ? Every native newspaper in Egypt was feeding his fancies and encourag- ing his hopes. Day by day they reminded him of the past glories of the Arabs, who had been selected to dwell in the holy lands, and to endure in places of such consequence as Bagdad, the eye of Persia Damascus, the eye of Syria; Constantinople, the eye of the Turkish empire; Neesapore, the eye of Khoraz- the eye of the world. They told hin of the lament of Khalid, son of Walled, who, lying on his deathbed, moaned: II have fought in many and many a battle there is not span of my body but bears scar of sword and spear and must die thus like beast of burden ?' "Oh, son of Arabs" cried Ell Hedjaz, twill you not battle for your honor? Why struggle you not for life; why court you death What dream you of that you care not for your Koran, nor yet for your worldly goods Why consent you to see your fire extinguished ?'
  Arabis ambition. Hating autocracy, which had degraded him, he hated the European powers, from winch autocracy drew it's strength. He hated every custom, every fash ion, every institution which owed it's origin to Europe or the Europeans. He admitted ! that the Khedive was a just man, scholar, ! much interested in schools and religion but ! he could not submit to 8 ruler who was edu- cated like a European, dressed like Euro pean, had one wife, and resembled the Prince sI-s ~k1x member of Ismails family.

 sian cragoon. Prince Hussein got his train ! ing at a French lyeee; he wore French
 clothes, hummed French songs, and wor- shiped Mme. Ju die. Prince 1brahlm went I to Woolwich and learned to play cricket the two younger sons were with their father in ] Italy Of the elders there was only Prince
 Halim, who lived at Constantinople; and as | Prince Halim delighted in French cookery, 1 read Horace and had no objection to billiards
 he was hardly the man for the nationalists oi | Egypt.
 Arabi Boy was thus forced to the painful | conclusion that there was only one man who
 could deliver Egypt. He persuaded himself
 without calling in wizard or consulting the
 Koran, that the savior of society would be
 named Arabi Bey. He, therefore, proceeded
 to review his forces. He had his twenty
 thousand regulars, white uniformed, smar
 to behold, purged of disaffection by the tria
 of the Circassian officers, well drilled, fairly
 well armed the infantry provided with Re ! mingtons the cavalry mounted on Araf ! steeds. He could at any time adopt the tao | tics of Mehemet Ali, make raid on the VII ! lages, put guns into the hands of the felia
 heen, and equip such an army as that whlci
 at Nezib defeated the Turkish troops among | whom Helimuth von Mo1tke made his frs
 campaign. He had hopes of enlisting, b. | promise of high pay and unlimited plumber ) the nomad Bedaween, the warriors of tn | desert He could count on the moral sup l port of the Ulema, the learned doctors of tn | law, distracted by the feuds of sects, cage , l to rally round any good Mussulman wh l should reunite and restore them to thei l place in the hierarchy of Islem. And her his possible alliances ended. He was oppose by the rich merchants, who trembled fo , | their property he could not stir the apath , | of the populace, in whom centuries of OF 3 pression had killed the spirit of resistance. , Were he obliged to meet Europe, or an l great European power, Arabi knew that hi f chances would be hopeless But in additio to Arabi the elect of Allah, to Arabi tn 1 hater of Autocrats, to Arabi the champfo ! of the Fellah there is Arabi the diplomatis
 l In his diplomatic character, Arabi was cor ! vinced that the European deadlock was con
 plste and that none of the powers dared
 move against hlm. To foreign spectator
 ' , ! games of our time Turkey, the ancier $ suzerain of Egypt, had parted with her su, n l erainty. Ismail Pacha, by cunning fatter r l of Abdul Aziz by lavish presents, by fair | fetes given on the Bosphorus, had persuade D the Sultan to grant virtual independencs s Abdul Hamid, coming to the throne with - new policy, with dreams of united Islam r with the knowledge that he might some da J. have to seek refuge at Cairo, was never wi y ling to ratify this grant When the confe, ,l1,. l. ss nIaSyN kn. l. macy in Egypt, he refused to take seat 8 @ the council board.
