AN EGYPTIAN ROMANCE.

When our late Minister
to Egypt was travelling
across the desert, he re-
lates that he rode a camel
which was possessed Of
the most wonderful agil-
ity. This remarkable ami
NAL, he states, would at
times raise his hind hoof
to his head and scratch
his ear, without n issing
a single step. One day,
however, the animal met,
or pretended to meet,
with a mishap. The hoof
raised to the ear failed to
connect with the ground
again, in consequence he
fell over, casting me un-
tremendously to the
earth. Upon examina-
ton, it appeared that the
camel had dislocated his
hip. Willie pOnGering
