A Floir in Himsklf — " Tho poor Khedive '" Well 'he is fortunately the rich Xhodixe. For assuredly no monarch in Europe docs as tho Egyptian Pasha docs. Tljore is almost every week in the " season for the Nile " a quiet little note, that the Prince of Vaurien, or Ilarzgo, of Ilohpnmuth, or Hcicne Highness of Saxe Steimngcn, or the Earl of (Jurbonate, lias arrived in Alexandria, and hns been received by tho Viceroy. We little think what that means. Nor do we know when wo arc mode awaro that our friend the eminent engineer, or mechanic, or litrrateur, whom every one is acquainted with, has been "received" by the Yioeroj. The guest of tho Viceroy is treated very much as JWph was when ho was in favour with Pharaoh — with all tho dill'erenee in his faiour of the civilization which has placed such immense barriers between tho enjoyment* and the means of tho rich and poor. On arriving at Alexandria a Ooa eminent official conies otl* and takes j-ossOfsion of the guest, who, from that time till he leaves, is no louder his own property, except us far m he wishes to u^e himself for hia own pleasures. Hit baggage ia cleared to a hotel ; he is taken oil* in a Government boat to a private wharf, whore a carriage is in waiting to take him to his quarter*, and whore lie is received by a host of officials, who usher him to hi« rooms and commit hii wishes every hour. lie pax s nothing when he leaver. A spocinl train tnkes him from Aloxnndna to C'a ro. Then more carriages to convey him and Ihh to hi* palaces, where there it a suito of Europtan sen ants to wait on him, and of Turkish pipeboari'M to nttend to his smoking, carriages and runners, c\en comfort ami continual feasting, for which the Viceroy pnyn £5 a head per day. " Have you any friends >" " Pray a--k them to dine." "You arc 'in Egjpt."
