BASING AUD NUBAB PACHA. Khakioum, July 30, 1884. Your telegram of the 5th May, ib84. received. Thanta for kind ezpreseiona, Sue now high, and we hope to open route to Sanaar in a few days. We have had ii- serious losses. Stewart was slightly wouuaed in arm near Palaco he ifl all right now. Be assured that these hostiiiii^B are far from being sought for, but we have no option, for ttitteac is im- possible unless we abandon civil em- ployets and their famUies, which the general feeling of troops is against. 1 have u3 advice to give. If we open Sanaar and clear Blue Nile will be strong enougii to take Berber â€" that is, if Don- gola suil holds out. As for Mahdi, Le will nut send succour here: Hot one pound of the money you gave me got here; it was captured a*. Berber. We want £200,000 s^nt to Kassala. I'he ex- penst^ of these gatrisons must be met. Khartoum costs £500 per ditm. If route gets ' pen to Kasala, I shall send Stew- art ti.cie witli journalâ€" that is, if he will conseiit to go. You may rely on this that if there was any possible way of avoiding the wretched fighting I should adopt it, for the. whole war is hateful to me. Ihe people refuse to let me go out on expeditions, owing to the bother which would arise if anything happened, so I sit on tenter hooks of anxiety. If I could make any one chief here i would do it, but it is impossible, for all the good men were killed with Hicks. To show you that Arabs fire well, two of our steamers received 970 and 860 shots in their hulls respectively. Since our defeat on the 16th of March, 1884, we had only thirty killed, 50 or 60 wounded, which is very little I should think we have fired HALF A JULLION CARTBIDGES. The conduct of the people and troops has been excellent. I was thinking of issu- ing a proclamation 11 aerating the slaves of those in arms, but have deferred doing so for fear of complication.. I have great trust that God wdl bring us out trium- phantly, and with no great loss on either side. V^e have queer stories as to the fall of Berber. Arabs captured there all Stewart's Hussar uniforms, and my me- dals, etc. It may be bad taste to' say it, but if we get out of this give Stewart a K. C. M. G. and spare me at all costs. You will thus save me the disagreeable- ness of having to refuse, but I hate those thing?. If we i^et out it is ia answer to prayer, and not by our might, and it is a true pleasure to have been here, though painful enough at times. Stewart's journal is copious. I only hope it will get down to you when I send it. Land mines are the things for defence in fu- ture we have covered the works with them, and they have deterred all attacks and done much execution. Since the 30th March, 1884, date of your Cairo de- patch, We have had no newa from you. cieyd Mahomet Oaman, of Kassala, ought to be the route for your despatches, and yon ought to give him a present of £500 for he saved Khartoum. We have made a decoration with three degrees, silver gilt, silver, pewter, with inscription "Siege of Khartoum," with a grenade in ceutro. School children and woman have also received one consequently I am very popular with the black ladies of Khartoum. We have issued paper notes to the amount of £26,000, and borrowed £50,000 from merchants, which you will have to meet. I have sent in addition £8,000 paper notes to Senaar. What Kassala is doing for money I do not know. Of course, we only get taxes paid in lead, so you are running a good bill up here. The troops and people are full of heart I cannot say the same for all the Europeans. The Arabs are in poor heart. I should say that about 2,000 determin- ed men alone keep them in the field. I expect it will end in A lEBBIBLE FAMINB throughoui the land. Spy yesterday stated the Queen of England had arrived at Koroska. Perhaps it is a steamer. The only reinforcements the Soudan has received since 27th November, 1883, date when Hicks' defeat was known at Cairo, ia seven persons, including myself, and we have sent down over 600 soldiers and 2,000 people. The people here and Arabs laugh over it. I shall not leave Khartoam until I can pat some one in. If the Europeans like to %o to the Equa- tor 1 will give them steamers, but I will act leave these people after all they have goue through. As for routes, I have told you that the one from Wady Haifa, along right bank of Nile to Berber, is the heat, and this, had not Berber fallen, â-¼ould have been a picnic. The other route ia from Senhit to Elassala, and Abou Hcirason Blue Nile, which would safe up to Kassala, but I fear it is too late. We must fight it out with our ineang. If blessed by God, we shall suc- ceed if not His will, so be it. The "^in thing is to send money to Kassala ^here is Wood Kind regards to him ^^ Generals Stephenson and Graham. ^hy write in cypher It is useless, for â- ^ha have no interpreter.

I also add that even if the road was opened the people would not let me go unless I gave them some gov- ernment or took them with me. which I could not do. No one would leave more willingly than I would if it was possible. â€" C. G. G. QENEBAL OOKDON TO SIB B. BAKINO. Khabtoum, July 31st, 1884. We continue, thank God^ to drive Arabs back up Blue Nile, and hope to open road to Senaar in elc;ht days or less, and to recapture small arms lost by Salsh Bey. We then hope to send^an expedi- tion to surprise and recapture Berber. It is a sind qua non that you send me Z^behr otherwise my stay here is indefinite. And you should send £50,000 to Don- gola to be forwarded to Berber if we take it. River begins to fall In, say, four months. Before that time you must either let the Soudan take back the Sou- dan or send Zebehr with a subsidy year- ly. (D. v.) We will send down to Ber- ber to take it with the Egyptian troops here, so that they will be on their way home, and I shall send Stewart. We hope (D. V.) to recapture the twi steam- ers which were lost at Berber on its fall. The Equator and Bahr Gazelle provinces can be (D. V.) relieved later on, and their troops brought here. As to Dar- fur, it must be afterwards thought of, for we do not know if it still holds out. As for Kordofan, I hope and believe the Mahdi has his hands fall. I could vacate Senaar if it was possible, but I do not think it is, and also the moral etfect of its evacuation would be fatal to our fu- ture interests, while we have no food to feed the refugee people who would come here. You will see if we open road to Senaar from here to cut the Arab move- ment in two by Blue Nile. I repeat I have no wi^h to retain this country. My sole desire is to restore the prestige of the Government in order to get our gar- risons and to put some ephemeral gov- ernment in position in order to get away. â€"(Signed) C. G. Gokdon. A Water Pipe Shock. A singular occurrence, which is stated to have recently taken place at Ithaca, N. Y-, illustrates the dangers attendant upon the universal introduction of elec- tricity. As a lady was turning on the water from the faucet over the sink in her kitchen, using her right hand, her left being in contact with the iron lining of the sink, she was suddenly prostrated by a severe shock. Her impression was that she had been stricken with paralysis or apoplexy, but a physician who was summoned found that the inside of the thumb of the left hand had been blistered in several places. This led him to be- lieve that she had received a strong elec- tric shock from some source. A few minutes subsequently the lady's daugh- ter, in drawing water from the same faucet, was similarly affected, though not so severely. The family then became convinced that the trouble existed in the water pipe and sink. The manager of the Telephone Exchange, after a brief exami- nation of the premises, found the secret of the trouble. The residence was con- nected with the Ithaca Hotel by a "dead" private telegraph wire. This wire had been crossed with the electric light wire. The "dead" wire was connected with the metallic roof on the dwelling house, which in turn was connected by a tin water conductor with ;^the water pipe leading to the sink. When the dynamo machine of the electrifc light company was in operation, the current passed over the "dead" wire to the tin roof, and thence to the water pipe. It needed only the completion of the circuit by some person drawing water. Care and Caution. A man may be too careful, and too cautious but the reverse is much more apt to be the case. When care and cau- tion are the result as well as the cause of mature deliberation, they are to be com- mended by all means. It is the man who looks carefully over the whole ground, who looks at all sides of the question, thus exercising care and caution, and who then acts, if he acts at all, with de- cision and tenacity, who is eminently successful. And otherwise a man cannot act steadily and perseveringly he who rushes to action, hasty and inconsiderate, will be just as erratic and inconstant in his movements. It is a popular opinion that in this country we must act upon the spur of the moment, and that care and caution are factors better discarded. This is most assuredly a mistake. Where the hurly-burly of lie is greatest, there ia the most need of being careful and con- siderate. I- â€" I I A Biblical critic of British extraction corrects what he styles a stupid perrer- sion of sense. For "hewers of wood and drawers of water" he would read "draw- ers of wood and ewers of water." Nobody, he justly says, ever saw a bureau with drawers of water, or a bedroom pitcher made of wood. "Smith, didn't you tell me you some- times wrote for the pper V "Yes, I did." "It's strange I never saw any of your articles in print." "Oh, they never publish them. You see, I don't mind telling you, the editor told me confiden- tially that my articles w?re so sohd he used them for paper weights." WWt to CifaBTkt From «• MtAijOmi.) Dte. ISih.

Many attempts have been made to dis- cover, a cure for this distressing disease biy the use of inhalants and otJier ingenious devices, but none of these treatments can do a particle of good until the parasites are either destroyed or removed from the mucus tissue.

Among the tribes of Africa the care of the fire is entrusted to tbe oldest unmaa- ried daughter of the chief, or, if he has no such daughter, to the maiden nearest related to him. If by i'H accident or mis- fortune, it is extinguished, it must not be relit from another, but must be made anew from the beginning. For this pur- pose two straight sticks of any readily burning wood are taken. A hollow is made in one of the sticks, in which the sharpened end of the other one may be twirled, and some punk or half rotten wood is put in a grove cut to hold itj to serve as tinder. This stick i held to the ground by the knees, while the other one is turned rapidly back and forth between the open hands. When a spark appears, it is directed upon the tinder, which is then readily blown into a flame. The natives dislike this work very much, and when on a journey if they h»ve no other fire apparatus they take an ignited stick with them, the fire of which they skillfully keep glowing for a long time. â€" [Popular Science Monthly.
