THE PRESENT KING OF EGYPT | A Pharoah Whose Heart Has Not Been Hardened. HE CUT DOWN HIS OWN SALARY Reforms Inavgurated by the Noble Khedive and the Worry They Have Cost Him—Uongs for Rest and Peace. A Model Monarch. [Copyrighted 1859 by Frank g, Carpenter.) Catno, Bgrypt, June 19 —[Special to Tre Bee.]--1 have just roturned from a long audience with the khedivo of Egypt. iKhedive is Persian-Arabie word meaning king, and Mohamed Tewflk occupies much the same position now as the Phuroahs did in the days of Moses aud Joseph. 1t is true that ho is in & measure the vassal of tho sultan, to whowm he pays o tributo of about threo and three- quarters of a million dollars & year, and that he has also several Iuropean advisers who keep sharp watch ovor tho revenues of his kingdom, to see that a great part of them go to pay tho interost on the debts which his predecessor and his governmont hive con- tracted and which are held by the baukers of Kurope. But he is, nevertneloss, the king of Egypt, aud as kings go to-day, e has moro power than most of the monavchs of Europe. His residenco in Uairo is a grand palaco with hundreds of rooms filled with magnificent furniture, He drives about the city with soldiers swords, riding prancing ho Tis carriage and with a score of cavalry fol- Jowing behind. His personal expenses are limited to £500,000 A YRAT, and he has several palaces outside of the one which ho occupies in Cairo. One of these is the Raseltin palace, which Me Hamet Al built on tho sea shore near Alexandria, an- other is at Helouun, in upper Egypt, and a thirg is at Koubeh, the khedive's country neat just outside of Cairo, near the site of the oid city of the sun, where Plato taught philosophy and Herodotus studied nistory. The khedive’s present residence 18 the Ab- den palace m the heart of Cairo. And it was here that I met his highness this morn- ing. 'The interview had been arranged by the American consul general, Colonel Card- well, und the cousul general and myself left the consulate at a little after 10 in the con- sular carriage. The dragoman of tho legation, u brighteyed Syrian, the most gorgeous of ‘Turkish s of brown covered with gold em- dery and with a great sword shuped like acymeter clanking at bis. side, oponed the carriage door for us and took his seat by the coachman. The Arabian Jehu erhis acked whip and away he went through the narrow strects of Cairo. We drove by the modern Juropeau mansions of the rich Greeks, vast aces of Egyptian princes from which vect smell of the orango flowers came and over which whispered broad spreading palms, We then went through a business street of Caivo, amid droves of donkeys, through a caravan of camels by veiled women clad in black und looking like baloons upon donkeys, in front of the palace in which Ismail Pasha had his harem when he was khedive and in which 1 doubt not the present. khedive played as a boy when his father was on the throne and on to a great square of many acres, on the right of which were vast barracks filled with Arab -troops in blue uniforms ‘and fez caps, and in the midst of which a regiment of Egyptian troops were going through a gymnastio drill and performing the motions as well to-day as they did at the time when our American Genoral Stono was their commander, and when General Grant reviewed them and snid that they scemed to be good soldiers for everything excent fighting. At the end of this great square, in the form of o horse shoe, is the Abden palace, 1t is o vast building of two stories, of brown stucco, with many windows and a grand en- trance way in the center. At the left there is u door Which leads to the harem, and as our carriage drove up we were passed by a closed conch drawn by two magnificent Arabian horses, on the box of which, besido the liveried coachmap, sat o sober-faced eunuch, whose black skin and darlk clothes were all the more somber under the bright red skull cap which he wore. In the front of the carriage ran two fleet scyces with ‘wands or staffs held up in the air in front of them, warning plebeians to get out of the way, and I was told the carringe was vhat of @ princess who was about to make o call upon the kediveh or queen. These scyces are a part of every nobleman’s turnout when he drives throughout Egypt, and tho runners are among the most picturesquo sights of this land of the Pharoahs. At the door of the palace stood two pom- pous soldiers with great swords in thewr ands. They were clad in a Turkish cos- tume with embroidered jackets of blue and old, with full zouave trousers ox blue roadcloth, Upon their heads were tur- bans, and the faces that shone out under thesc were such that they made me think of the troovs that conquered this oriental world in the days of the prophet Mohammed. Passing up tho massive steps, the door was opened by an Arab clad in European clothes and wearlug the red fes cap, which thg Egyptian nover takes off, in house or out, ‘We cntered a grand entrance hall, floored with marble mosaic, the walls of which ‘were PINISHED IN CHEAM AND GOLD. In front of us @ staircaso so wide that two wagon londs of hay could be drawn up it ‘without touching, lead by easy flights to the second floor, ana at the right and the left were the reception rooms for visitors and halls leading to the apartments reserved for the chamberlains, masters of ceremonies sud other officials' of the king's household. We chatted u moment with one or two of the khedive's cabinet ministers, who were just passing out ‘aftor a council with his ighness, and then moved on up the stairs. In ono of the drawing'rooms on the second floor we were met by auother Egyptian official in black clotbes and red fez cap and by him were conducted to a reception room, the door of which stood open, and were mo- tioned to enter. In the center of this room, which was not Targer thun a gocd-sized American parlor, all alone stood » man of. about thirty-s1x yoars of age. He was dressed in a black broad- _cloth coat which buttoned ciose up at the neck like that of a preacher. Lavender pan- taloons showed out below this, fitting well down over a pair of gaiter.liko pumps, and an .the top of this rather handsome head was a foz cap of durk red with a black silk tass 3 extending from the center of the crown and falling down behind. The costume of this man, barring the fez, might have been that of an_American, aud his Circassian oream- colored complexlon was such that he would Eave passed unnoticed in & crowd in New York, This man was the khedive of Egypt. He is. lj\ul%. ubout five feet six inches in Leight, and he does not weigh more than one hundred and fifty gpounas. Ho is rather fleshy than thin, ‘his frame being well rounded, his head large, and his fea- tures clean cut. He has a nose slightly inclined to the Roman, His forehead is high and the dark brown eyes whieh shine out from undor it change from the grave to the smiling during his conversation, He is plain and simple in both his habits and dress, He shook Colonel Cardwell’s hand cordially as he entered and upon the consul general present- ing we as an American citizen, he extended his hand to me and told me he was glad to 800 1o, and was GLAD TO HAVE AMERIOANS is loft as he sat down, pllll!nf one of his 1egs up under him and hanging the other foot on the floor, There was an absence of pom or suobbishness, and though dignified, he b not half the airs of the average back woods bers of our house 0f representatives at ‘ashington. As he seated himself, his black coat opened and 1 noted the contrast between his costume and that of the @orgeous rajahs whom I met in India. His only jewelry consisted of a set of gold studs the size of the smallest of peas, uud & witch chain of thin links of zold. He wore a black necktie bow in_his white turn-over collar, such as you buyon lower Broadway for 25 conts, and his cuffs, though scrupulously olean, had not the polish of the American Chinose laundry. The khedive of Egypt I8 agood French scholar, aud hie has learned to spenk Knglish within the past few vears. Our talk was carried on in English, and his highness chav ted freely, now and then breaking out in a chuckling laugh as something amusing en- tered into the talk, and again growing sober and impressivo as_he discussed the more sober problems of his reign. In speaking of his lifo as khedive, he said: I am told that many people envy me my position. Thoy say that [ am a young man, and that my lot must bea pioasant one. "hey do_not undorstand the troubles that surround me, Many atimo 1 wounld nave been glad to have laid down all of the lonors I havo FOLL REST AND IEAC “‘My ten years of reign have been equai o forty years of work and of worry. If life were a matter of pleasure 1 would be a fool 10 remain on the threne. I believe, however, that God put man on the world for & purpose other than this, chief end of man, I do the best 1 can for my country and my poople, and I feel tho havpiest when I do tho most work and when my work is the hardest.” As the khedive said these words I thought of tho thorns which have filled the downy pillow of his reign. I thought of how, upon his entering manhood, his father Ismail was deposod and he was put upon the throne. I thought of his troubles under the foreign dictation of the past, of the plots and nearly successful reboilion of Arabi Pasha, of the revolution of the Mahdi, and of the vulture- like creditors who to-day are grinding Egypt betiveen their upper and nether millstones, of the plottings and tae intrigues, of the danger of assassination, and of the other dangers which are ever present about the throne of un_oriental monarch, and 1 could appreciate why his mouth hardened and his eyesgrew serious when ho uttered the above remark. "flio talk then turned upon the condition of Egypt and its future, but as to this the king was reticent. Fe spoke proudly of the roforms which he had inaugurated in gov- ernment and of the fact that now, though the taxes were heavy, avery pensant knew Just what his taxes wero to be and that they were honestly collected. He spoke of the improvements of the courts and smd that the pusha and the fellahin now stood on the same footing beforo the law. “When I came to the throme,” said he, ‘‘the people were surprised thut 1 vut the prince on the same footiniz as other people before the courts, Now, thank God, there is no difference in justice. The prince and the fellah are the same in our courts and the former may be punished like the latter.” Coffee and cigarettes were at this pont brought in by the servauts of the palace. The coffee ala Turque. Tt was served in little china ers of gold filli- gree, shaped like an U held wbout three tablespoonsful of black coffec as thick as chocolate and sweet as wolasses. Th nor spoons, and I tr follow the khedive. 1 took the holder in my fist and gulped down half the contents of the cup at n swaliow. It was as hot as liquid fire. 1 could feel the top of my mouth raising in a blister, the tears came into my eyes and my stomuch felt as though it had taken AN INTERNAL TURKIST RATH. Tt was lucky that at this moment the khe- pive had just addressed a remark to Consul General Cardwell, who sat on the other sida of him, and he did not notice my uvmotion. He took the boiling mixture sithout wi ivg and went on talking as though throat was used to liquid five. was sur- prised to see him refuscthe cigarette, and 1 asked him if he did not smoke. He replied; *'No, I peither smoke nor drink. 1 do not drink on two grounds. I beliecve man is better off without it, and what is of more mo ment to me it is against the laws of life as laid down in the Koran, We do not be- lieve it right to drink anything intoxicating and good Mussulmen drink neither wine nor liquor. I believe that every man should be faithful to the reiigion which he professes. My faith is that of Islam and I try to follow was weilas Lcan. I am not liberal in it, however, and I tolerate all religions und all sects in my kingdom. We have Copts, Jews and Christians, and_your missionaries are at work in the land. They make very few con- versions, if any, among the people of my faith, but they have schools in upper Egypt which are doing much in the way of educa- tion. You ask me as to my attendance upon the Mosque. Yes, I go regularly, and it was a surprise to the people of the court when I attended the Mosque immediately after my accession.” Colounel Cardwell here spoke of the khe- dive's knowledge of the Koran and cited the fact that his mujesty. KNOWS '(IlE WHOLE BOOK BY HEART, and that he can commoence at any point and recite it from one ond to the other. Thers is no doubt that the khedive has as much faith in lus religion as we have in ours, and he ex- pre: himself here, intimating that every man should abide by the faith of nis fathers. He referred to Mohamuwedan conversions in Africa and to the fact that there are moro than one hundred millions of people in the world who believe the same as he does. Ho spoke of the band of one hundred American Catholics who are stopping in Egypt oy their 'way to the holy land, and was interested in Colonel Caldwell’s dBflcril:tion of the pil- grimage which they are taking, in following tho footsteps of Jesus and Mary. He spoke of the immense amounts brought into Egypt by tourists, and sad that it bettered the business of Egypt. He expressed great sor- row at the prospect tbat Colonel Caldwell would, with the change of adwinistra- tion, probably be recalled and another consul general appointed, and he told me that he had written a per- sonal letter to the president of the Unitea States without the kzowledge of Mr. Cardwell, asking him to retain him as his consul general to Egypt. Throughout the whole couversation the talk was of the most cordial and unceremonious character, and I left the palace with the impression that, the khedive of I3gypt is a man of great com- mon sense, and of more than ordinary abil- wy. The khedive stands well with his people, and leading men of Cairo tell me he would do much for Egypt if he were not hampered Dby foreign intervention. He gave up a num- ber of his palaces a year or 80 ago and he is, for a lung, most economical. He has, as far a8 1 oan learn, no extravagant habits and no vices, and he lives within the half million dollars, which is known as his civil list. Had other khedives of the past becn equaily caroful, Egypt would bé a rich country to- day instead of a mortgaged one. He is a man of strong domestic tastes, and though & Mohammedan and an oriental king, he is THE HUSBAND OF BUT ONE WIFE, and he is as true to _her us the most chaste American. A friend of his gave me to-night talk he recently had with him upou this subject, in which the khedive expressed himself strongly in favor of monogamy: "I saw,” said he, “in my father's harem, the disadvantages of a plurality of wives and of huving children by different wives, and I de- cided before I came to manhood that I would marry but one woman and would be true to her. I have done so and I bave had no reason to regret it.” These words of the khedive are verified by his wife. From what I can learn his family life is a happy one, He is much in love with his wife and the khedivich is said 0 be one of the brightest women of Egypt. Alady friend of hers, who visits often at tho royal harem, tells me that this queen of Egypt is both beautiful and accomplished, She gives receptions to ladics at her palace every Saturday. She speaks Freuch very well and she uses this language in her inter- course with foreigners. She is as scusible in her ways as her husband and a few days ago at one of her lttle receptions at her country seat near Cairo one of the visitors expressed a desive to see the ostrich furm, which is near there. The queen then pro- rulml that tho whole party go over aud visit t and this they did, WALKING THEOUGH THE FIELDS and along the road the whole distance. I cite thi erely as an instance of the un- ostentation which she usually shows. It must not be nu[)palud. bowever, that she does not live like a queen. She has her harem or women servants by scores, She is accompanied whonever she goes out to ride or drive by some of hev@mumerous eunuchs and she keeps up a big establishment separate fvom that of the king. When she sits down to dinuer or breakfast it is nop with the king, but with ber own ladies, The king eats with his officers, according to Mohammedan etiquette, and his apart. ments or the salumlik are separate from hers. Hoth she and her band have done much to break down the rigidity of Mohan medan social customs. The love for eac! other, and the example of the khedive iu Duty, not_pleasure, is the | having but one wife, Consnl General Oard- well tolls me, is catching, and many of the other noble Arab gentlemen are following it. The khedive takes his wife with him wherever he goes. She does not usually travel on the same train, nor if so, in the same car. She has stuck to the khedive hrough the stormiest times of the reign and durlng tho last war she refused to go on the English gunboats when invited to do 8o for safety, ~ She is close in the councils of her husband, 1 am told, and it is said that he has great confidence i her judgment. Hoth tie khedive and the khedivieh aro wrapped up in theie children and Iam told that they intend to allow one of their sons to 1ake a trip to America at no very distant date. Thoy have two boys and two girls. The boys are Abbas, who will be fiftecn years old in July, and Mehemet Ali, who is two yoars younger. These bovs are now at school in Herlin, They speak French, En- ghsh, German and Arabic, and they are, I am told, very bright. The girls are rather pretty; croam complexioned young maidens of cight and ten, who are as much like American girls as ' they can be considering their sucroundings. They wear European clothes and may be scen along the sea- shoro at Alexandria, walking wgethor and swinging their hats in their hands like our little girls at Long Branch or Asbury park. fThey have [uropean governesses and talk French quite well. These children are by no means badly oft 88 regards money matters, The khedive's incomo is big enough to enable him to pay all of his expenses and his wife has an inde- pendent fortune, which ['am told brings her in about tifty vhow Abbas, the oldest son, is the heir apparent, and he gots an allowance of seventy-five thousand a year, and all have enough and to spare. Still, in comparison with the fortunes squandered by the families of the khedives of the past, this 18 nothing, and the pres- ont khedivo docs what any other mon- arch of the world would not think of doing. The last yoar was a poor ono in Lgypt, and the people were hardly able to pay their taxes, In order to relieve them somewhat, the Ikhedive ordered that the salaries of all the officers should be cut down for that year 10 per cent, and he set the example, I am told, by cutting that much off thie alle: for his family, and dropped off £50,000 from his personal allowance for the sako of his peoplo. This does not_scem the act of a Pharonh. It1s more than that of o man and a christian. It shows that this Mohammedan ruler isa king in heart and soul as well as position, and may well lead us to wonder whother this land under him if freed from dobt and unshackled by shylocks would not rise to a higher and better civili- zation than it has ever bad in the 6,000 years of its past. ¥ G.

Out along Farnatn street at 4 o’clock in the morning, when the new day is only breaking and the city still slecps; out past the end of the car tracks, with footateps clattering over the pavement in the early morning stillness; out past the Belt line and Holy Sepulchre ceme- tery—God’s acre, more quiet than the rest, through Dundee place and up the hill again. It rained last night and the mist rises from the valleys in clonds and hangs lazily over the grvass. The lungs expel the fetid atmosphere of the city and in- hale great draughts of the fresh country air. That indescribable fragrance of the prairie is clearly discernible. Away to the left ripening grain can be seen upon the hillside, and the green corn waves eyerywhere. *“What so rare as a day in June,” the poet sang, but July will do as well when the morning sun is obscured by misty clouds and everything is so full of life, Buck of us rises the smoke of the city; hidden behind the hill and over there to the left is South Omaha. The plover pipes his monotonous tune as he entices us away from the place where the mother bird has made her nest, and from a fence-post a great yellow-breasted meadow lark sings its own sweet lay. “The jocund farmer drives his team afield,” ‘and others pass, even at this early hour, with wagons loaded with corn and hogs. The milk wagons from the dairies farther on have already gone by. A merry company of graders go by and then a boy—a “Barefoot boy with feet of tan, With his turned-up pantaloon And his merry whystling tune,” comes along with a dinner pail upon his arm, evidently also a member of the graders! party. Down in the valley near the creek their tents can be seen. The valley is passed, another hill climbed and then we go down into the valloy again. . The mud from last night’s rain ig up toour ankles and plod- ding through the sticky elay has made us both tired and thirsty. A wayside tavern, with a hospitable porch in front and a summex pAvillion in the garden, invites us to stp and rest.

There is an afe off % restful quiet about the place, which has an extraor- dinary charm for these town-bred folk, who are this morning tramping over the hills and the valleys. On and on we go. The mud has dis- appeaved; it only sprinkled here, and the walking is all that can be desired. The lavks still sing from the fence posts, and the plover sull soars above us. Farmers sit in their doorway, smoking their pipes, and gaze with stolid satisfaction upon the magnificent crops, while their children gaze with mouths agape at these two dudish look- ing tramps passing by. The land out here is rolling—very much so. As we reach the summit of one hill, another rises before us, but it is a relief from the monotonous streets of the city. ¥ By and by the sweet odor of the elder- berry reaches us, and farther along a line of willows marks thie course of the Little Papillion. - We cross the tracks of the Fremont road, and are soon standing upon the bridge that spans the stream. My companion, carried away with the beauty of the place,draws a long breath, and, raising bis hands aloft, exclaims: “This is the spot I long have sought And sighed because I found 1t not.” It is, indeed, a charming bit of scen- ery. The little stream is nothing more than a creek, but it gurgles presump- tuously along, seemingly proud of the title of river which it bears upon the maps. The vegetation is profuse. Above and below the bridge the wateris ob- scured by a mass of willows, vines and the fragrant elderberry. The trees are alive with birds. The quail sends forth its clear ‘‘Bob White,” the brown thrushes twitter and tho rest join the chorus, We linger herean half hour in silence. Speech would be a disturbing element. Finally,we get away, and, following the course of the stream, soon come to an- other public house. We enter. A comely woman is wiping glasses behind the bar. ““Can you give us some beer,this morn- lng. good mother?” we ask. ‘Ich haben nicht beer,” says she. “Ich haben wein und whiskey. Vos vills du?” Wo try the wine and find it fairly good. “*How is trade with you, mother?” we ask to induce cenversation. “Oh, somedimes it vos goot, und somedimes it 'vos “bad. Somedimes I makes tree, fouf uhd fife dollars a day, und some days I makes fifteen cents.

We are agaimoll and chmbing o long hill of very oasy Bscent. As we near the top a buzzitig’sound, nccompanied by the clangor 81 & cow-bell reaches us. My more experjgtibed companion tells me that bees drgswarming somewhat near, and this we find true 3 A 'neat white farm house snuggles among a grove of elm trees,and 1n front of these is an apple orchard, It is here that the bees are swarming. An honest Dutch farmer stands on the outskirts of the swarm, clanging a cow-bell, and, as he gazes meditatively upon the buzzing bees, strokes the sparse whiskers that grow from his chij ‘We become interested, and draw near to the man with the bell, ‘Bees swarming, eh?” we venture as an introductory. . *Yah,” with his back still towards us. “Will they go back to the hive?” we try again, *Yah,” with a more vociferous clang of the bell, Conversation is a fallure and we ac- cept it as such and make no further el “account by fort, but stand watching the bees awhile and then go on. Soon after leaving the farmer and his bees we take a short turn to the left, and then the rond winds slowly down into the Big Papillion. We stop for a rest at a country school house. No pu- pils are there now. The place is filled with bird’s nests and the yard is rank with weods. The birds own the place for the nonce. They nest everywhere. In the wall, b hind the blinds, in the school house— overywhere. We make our last start, and, aftor walking a half mile we arrive at Uncle Jim MoArdle’s, where we are treated to a most bountiful dinner, to which we do ample justice. JACK | i, EDUCATIONAL.
