standing; he had at one time been Kroncii
eoiiHtil to Alexandria, and-his father had
represented France in Egypt ho fore him.
By 18fi2 lie had convinced himself ot
the practicability of making a canal
across Kuez, and had submitted his plans
to the I’orle, lint the Porte decided that
it did not, concern Turkey, mid he went
hack to Ids cattle and his farm to wait
for a more favorable time. His oppor
tunity came in 1851. One day llmt year,
when he was busy on a seatlolding, look
ing after the building of a new house on
his farm, word was brought him of the
succession of Mohammed Haid to the
vice-royalty of Egypt.
Haid Pasha was an old friend of his.
When M. de la-sseps was a consul in
Egypt, Haiti was a great fat boy, and his
lather, Mehemot Ali, annoyed at seeing
this fulness increase, had him put on
restricted diet, and used to send him (or
two hours a day t« walk round tlie city,
to skip with a rope, to row, and to climb
the masts of ships. 'The Iwy made friends
with M. de Leaseps, and got secret meals
of mueearoni from his servants. This was
the Is'ginnSngof a friendship wliieh led
to such memorable results; and it is a
curious instance of how great things and
niiiall are interwoven in the web of life,
that if Naid Puslm had not been a fat hoy

with as little attention as it was by the
