Wiibuvjc {Sultan of "Turkey was lolling in indolent 'repose in bis barem, surrounded by danemg girls -and bayaderes, the Khe? dive of Egypt ?was scheming and plan? ning for the accumulation of soil. He raised a large army; he equipped and armed it in the best possible manner; he officered it with able military men from France, Austria, Italy and the United States. When all things wero ready, he struck the provinces in the heart of Africa,, and they surrendered. Darfur is now under Egyptian rule, and a portion j of the territory over which floats the flag ths tof the Khedive. And this economic tied Pruler does not covet soil merely to count so many acres. That plan does not meet bi? approbation. He follows the soldier with the merchant, tho cannon by the steamboat, the rifle and the sword by the railroad and the locomotive. A rail? road is now under construction between Cairo and Khartoum. It will be conti? nued to Darf nr. It may even be extended to Gohdokoro and the Lake Albert Nyauaa. It undoubtedly will be, if the Khedive is allowed to carry out his am iitious designs. The rood will be lo /cated in the valley of the Nile, and its | cost not excessive. From Cairo to Khar? toum, the wholo expense is estimated at I $1,400,000. A branch line is also in con? templation to run from Khartoum, along! the valley, of Bahr el Asrak, to the Abys? sinian frontier. As a trade movement, this furnishes abundant evidence of the I far-sightedness of the present ruler of] Egypt. When this road is completed, ho can command and monopolize the whole trade of the long and fertile vaUey 1 of the Nile, and pour tho profits into his treasury. Forty centuries will gaze with wonder upon the march of modern \ civilization by the stony sphinx, and tho 'shrill scream of the locomotive, will Umost reach tho ears' of the ancient Pharoahs as they lie unshronded in countless folds beneath the mighty and enduring pyramids. But the present is the motive power, and the past can only wonder in silence. Besides the coni ercial and trade aspect of this move ent, it has another of startling im rt?conoeoled, it is true, but note the. ess perceptible to those who have Watched the course of the Khedive for some years. If Abyssinia were annexed to Egypt, he would command the whole Western coast of the Bed Sea, as he now, in reality does, the - Suez Canal. A Tew years ago, an Egyptian army started in the direction of Abyssinia. It was halted before the .boundary was reached, for I fear,df a difficulty with England. Now no such an obstacle exists, and the Khe? dive is free to carry out his design, if iff] still lingers in his memory and intent. Suppose the road constructed to Khar? toum, and ahm the Spar branch to the 'confine* of Abyssinia. / Then thq Khe? dive can move his troops with case and tapMity, and overcome the Abyssinians before they are prepared to meet the in? vaders in a successful manner. This I railroad in the- -valley of the Nile is a masterly conceived plan, both from a I commercial and military point of view, and if completed, the man in Cairo will I be more powerful in a short time than J the master at Constantinople. aye t 'S!.. ?, pouring out and ssimira?on to ' the other side.
