almost instantly. He then drove to his own

CONSUL GENERAL TO EGYPT.

We learn from Washington dis
patch to the Wheeling Register that
the President has decided to APP
point Hon. g. Boyd Faulkner, OF
this place, Consul General to Egypt.
We know that Mr.. r. has been an
aspirant for the Belgium Mission or
some position in the diplomatic SER
vice. The Register says "Why he
did not get the desired mission TO
Belgium is not known, but the one
it has been decided to give him is
considered almost as desirable. This
is q very important, if not one Of the
most important, consulates. The
compensation is $5 600 and fees. G..
z. Pomeroy, Of New Jersey, is the
present incumbent. Cairo is the
modern capital of Egypt. Her pop
ulation is about 100000 inhabitants,
consisting Of natives, Nubianss
Franks, Jews and several other ma
tionalitics, including about 10000
Europeans. The city, rs every one
knows, is on the banks of the Nile
and about the center Of the State.
1t is noted for its mosques and pic
turesque architecture and varied and
wonderful scenery. Among the ma
ny curiosities are the tombs of the
Caliphs. The climate is mild and
the fruits of the tropics grow in
abundance. Its commerce is extern
sive and growing. From a health
standpoint it is rated lower than any
European city, owing chiefly to the
concentration of filth among the in
Vulnerable abodes of the pauper
classes which are legion. Histori-
cally this city has few equals for the
literateur and seeker of book lore.p
