The cars from Cairo to Alexandria are open at the sides; and the Arabs, instead of walking in at the ends, leap through the paneless windows. One stalwart, barelegged fel low sprang thus upon this gentlemanly cane, shivered its lower limb, and made an end of its perfection. It passed as a bonne main into the hand of a dusky youth at our hotel, Whose vanity, unless he has outgrown it, probably it serves to-day not the first instance, in that region, of sudden and severe change of fortune.
