Stiltan of Turkey was lolling in indolent repose in Ids harem, surrounded by! dancing girls and bayaderes, the Khe? dive of Egypt was scheming and plan? ning for the accumulation of soil. He raised a large array; 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 were ready, hit struck the provinces in the heart of Africa, and they surrendered. Darfur is now tinder Egyptian rule, and a port ion Of the territory over which floats the flag of the Khedive. And this economic -ruler does not covet soil merely to count | so many acres. That plan docs not meet his approbation. He follows the soldier | with the merchant, the cannon by the steamboat, the rifle and the sword by the railroad and the locomotive. A rail? road iB now under construction between Cairo and Khartoum. It will he conti? nued to Darfur. It may even be extended to Gondokoro and the Lake Albert Nyanza. It undoubtedly will be, if the Khedive is allowed to carry out his am Jbitious designs. The road will he lo voted in the valley of the Nilo, and its cost not excessive. From Cuiro to Khar- | tonm, the wholo expense is estimated at $1,400,000. A branch line is also in con- j 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 far-sightedness of the present ruler of Egypt. When this road is completed, he can command and monopolize tho whole trade of the long and fertile valley of the Nilo, and pour the 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 almost reach the ears of the ancient f haroahs as they lie unshrouded 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 com ercial and trade aspect of this move en t, it bos another of startling im rt?concealed, it is true, but none Use 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 few years ago, an Egyptian army started in the direction of Abyssinia. It was halted before tho boundary was reached, for fear,Of a difficulty with England. Now no such an obstacle exists, and the Khe? dive iB free to carry out his design, if it still lingers in his memory and intent. Suppose the road constructed to Khar? toum, and also the Spar branch to tho confines of Abyssinia. Then thq Khe? dive can move his troops with case and rapidity, and overcome the Abyssinians before they are prepared to meet the in? vaders in a successful manner. This railroad in the valley of the Nile is a masterly conceived plan, both from a commercial and military point of view, and if completed, tho man in Cairo will be more powerful in a short time than the master at Constantinople. "This," thought a boy while being trounced by his fond papn, "is very like a whale. Administratrix's, Notice. ALL persons indebted to the estate of tho late JAMES N.
