THE KHEDIVE.
The Khedive of Egypt himself cannot certainly be charged with extravagance. The surrender of his private estate to the Egyptian bondholders, throe years ago, left him a poor man, and the budget still keeps him poor by tire amount assigned as his civil list. One hundred thousand pounds seems a very small income for an Oriental potentate, the son of the prince who in 1869 alone spent £1,200,000 on the entertainment of the visitors who came to the opening of the Suez Canal. His Highness’ relations, however, are numerous, and prove a somewhat burdensome appendage. Twenty-four different families in all (including the cx Khedive), they absorb £225,000.
