AN Egyptian newspaper announces The COM
ing of Queen Victoria on visit to that country.
In a quaint, old-fashioned style, the writer
says:
30 Egypt, do not be astonished by The news
OF the approaching arrival of Victoria. for you
have been accustomed to the visits Of kings and
queens since the remote ages.
You have been visited by the Persian, Cam
