THE EGYPTIANS LEARNING AGRICULTURE.- It seems that the Egyptians are to be considerably civilised by means of the Paris Exhibition. It is stated that his Majesty Ismail has decided that all his chief functionaries are to visit it to improve their minds. He has also given orders that forty Arab chiefs shall come to Paris on the same errand he will place a steam corvette at their disposal for the journey from Egypt to France; and while they remain in Paris he will not only supply them with lodgings, but with a sum of from forty to sixty francs each per day according to their rank. Their attention is to be particularly directed to the agricultural machines and other matters relating to the cultivation of the earth, so abundantly exhibited in the Champ de Mars, which perhaps may result in an improved system of agricul- ture in their own country.
