JIF?T a ARABI PASHA . TALKED WITH. 1'be P!1u:e Be Lhes In a n ol the Wn:r lie smz: frame imparted a ce1 foi.i~. ~ignity to his appearance at first sight· w .ucn wa.s m~rred on a closer inspection by the ner~elesshmpncs~ of a.ll his movements, The alight sternness given to his eyen by hlle large, overhanging eyebrows was utterl,v belied by the .hell.VY placidity of the lowo· face! broa.demng_ toward the jaw, and fr,.med ma short, thick, iron gray beard. To all outward appearance he might have been an Rn,,;lish trader, a German savant, a rich half-caste-anything, n short, except what he r eally wa.s. Neither n his face, bearing, nor voice was there ac y t.hing to remind us tha.t we were standing in the presence of a man who ha.d once been the her" of a. war, a.t whom bidding had been lavished thousands of lives and millions of treasure, and who 3 e hand had clutche:l at and well-nigh seized the sceptre of the Pharaohs. MO.n.lll TUAN A KING, But his face clouded over again as th e doctor with almost incredible want of tact, coolly asked him whether he would n:it like to go back to Egypt, and then (happily, without waiting for an answer) "enton to sa.y, "You should come out and have a loo1t a.t Australia, Pasha. It is a country wort'i looking at, I cm tell you ; and you don't see a town like Melbourne every day. " " I shou:d like i well," said the captive, looking gloomier than ever, " but-" and here he stopped as if the words choked him, "I oannot go." "Pooh-pooh!" cried t he unabashed doctor, in just as jolly a tone as before, "you can't go now, but you'll be able t o go some clay or other, never fear. N obod.v knows what ma.y turn up, you know." "'Yell, docter, 11 said I, seeing it was high t ime to cut short this extra.ordinary conversation, " when the PMha does come t o Melbourne I'm sure you'll give him a. r eal Australian welcome, But in the meantime (9.nd I ii.rose from my chair a~ I spoke) I think we had better lea.ve him to rest a little, for he has received a. great many visitors to -da.y." Tbe gushing doctor tcok t he hint more r eadily than I expected, a.nd we all rose to take our leave. But our departure was delayed by TIJE Sl'DDEN APPE<l.RANCE of a native servant bearing a. small ~ilver tny,on which stood four tall tumblers filled to the brim with lemon sherbet sweetened wi·h Egyptain sugar . The ladies contented themselves with sipping the mixture, which rlid not seem much to their taste, but the doctor and I drained our t umblers to tb<' last drop, greatly to t he satisfaction . Arabi himself, who appeared pleased when l reminded birn that t he sugar of Egypt has the name of beiug the sweetest in t ho world. Then we took our lea.vs of the Pasha and deputed in opposite directions, the doctor and his wife ret urning to their steamer, while we set cff to pa.your r espects to Fehmi Pasha (Ara.bi's right-hand man during the war) and his charming daughters. E nt the history of that disastrous expedition and ef all the oxlraordinary adventure2 to which it gave riae must be r e1erved for another let· ter. (!f;auadhtu ·Jtatesnutn.
