When M< linnet All was khedlve of

was Issued announcing that any oue

government would be lninged on the
spot, it so li.'ip|H-mal that the British
consul had asked for an audience of the
viceroy on the day following the Issue
of the decree. According to the cus

fixed for a very early hour In the morn­

so short a time. Mehemet All’s explana­

word Inst night to the bead of the po­

Chauncey M. Depew and Samuel L.

evening after dinner it » uh suggested

characteristic address, such a* might
have been expected from one whose
writings are ho well known under tbe
nom de plume of Mark Twain.
"It was uiiderstiaid." said Senator
Depew when called upon to speak,
"Halt Mr. Clemens and I should write
out our speeches for this occasiou in

scripts. We have done so, imt I regret
to say that I have forgotten Mr. Clem

Tlie senator then took his seat,
auditors roared in appreciation of

Clemens on deck.

A great litany people feel they have

is a light lunch, und it usually Is this,
it may be a blessing in disguise. In
fact, an observing foreigner lays much
of the acuteness anil business energy
of Americans to the fact that for the
