EGYPTIAN AEEoDoTE.-The katshef related

 the following almost incredible anecdoie. Several of his suite, who were present, were, indeed, ready to attest the truth of il, but, whether true ase it is one which might very properly be inserted in the next edition of Munchausen's book of marvels :- "It is not long snce,'' began the katshef, 'that a man from Berbar settled here, and well known to all of us. Che morning he led his horse to the Nile to water, and fastened the rope by which he held it round his arm, and while the animal was quenchng his thirst, he kneeled down to prayer.- Al the moment when he was ing with his face npon the ground, crocodile attacked the unhappy man, swept him into the water with his tail, and swa- lowed him. The terrified horse cxerted all his strength to run away, and as the rope which was ate tached to the arm of his dead master in the stomach of the crocodile did not snaps and he could not dis engage himself from it, the afrighted animal not only pulled the crocodile itself out of the river, but dragged il over the sand to the door of hls own stable, where it soon killed by the family, who hurried to the spot, and afterwards founl the dead body of the victim entire in the belly of the horrd n,onster.-[Prince Puckler Muskau's Egypt.
