It is a great thing for a man to be of to somebody, and we congratulate Gen. Dex Bet ER on being of use to his distinguished nephew, the Consul-Gencral of the United States in Egypt. It has always beon known that this energetic individual intended t» make money by his position as Consul-Gen eral, and people have understood that Egypt was a first-rate country for an official of an aspiring tarn of mind; but the present ef fort of the Consul-General grander than we should have expected even from him. It is worthy of the land of th: sphinx and of the pyramids. ‘There are in the world two brothers named fs something Kixprxeco, They are Bulgarians, and wer originally Austrian subjects, Eight or ten years ago they made a contract with the Pasha of Eyypt to furvish a quantity of lun ber from Macedonia; but there was some trouble about the execution of the contract and the result was that the Kixpisnco came out of it with a claim against the Egyptian Government to the amount of abc a lundred thousand dollars.
