The false prophet who appeared
in Soudan has been killed and his
followers dispersed.
During the past year several
prophets of Islam have arisen in
Africa, all styling themselves Ell
Medhi, or "The Messiah and all
attempting a semi-religious, semi.
military crusade against tho consti.
tuded rulers OF. the land. The pro-
plet of SOudan has had a success
due chiefly to the fact that his war
like preparations were first begun in
Dartur, the most remote of the Egyp-
tian provinces, which was annexed
in 1875, and where discomfort with
foreign rule has ever since prevailed.
Previous to it's conquest the country
had been for four centuries ruled by
the line ofnatiye sovereigns. From
Darfun the disaffectiOn spread to
the neighboring province of KOrdo
fan, once the seat of the slave trade
with the interior. Some important
places in Sanaar are reported to
have fallen and Khartoum, the cap
ltal OF Sondan, was menaced by the
followers of Eel Medhi at the time of
his death. The latter is well-built
town at the junction of the Blue and
White Nile, with great natural adj
vantages, and a population of about
10000, including a strong garrison.
Had the Medhi succeeded in the cap
ture of such an important place as
Khartoum he wonld have become
master of SOudan.

THE EXPLOITS OF A PET HEN.

One of our Marion County lady
friends had pet hen which felt quite
at home anywhere in the house.
Quarterly meeting was close at hand
and the preacher was cOmming; eggs
were scarce, and only few dozen
could be had. The lady was flying
around in great hurry getting ready
to cook up the cake and other nice
things, while the hen was poking
around in the house hunting for a suit
able place to make hcrselfa nest; she
decided that the wash-bowl, sitting on
the watershed, was the very place,
but before she could be suitably nestled
the bowl fell to the floor and broke into
a thousand pieces. This veXed our
lady friend a little, but she kept her
temper like Christian, and went OH
about her work. 1t wasn't long before
the hen had tumbled from the table to
the floor whole set of plates. rms
would have been sore trial to patient
old Job, but the lady went on with her
work, humming "Sweet By-and-by,'
to keep up her spirits. Now the new
spring hat sat on the center-table in one
of the rooms where some of the lady
neighbors who had dropped i'll to see it
had left it, and it was on the bandboX
the lady had in a hurry set pan with
five dozen eggs (all that she had to
make cakes for the preachersl and
hnrried into the store. room. The pet
hen came pirouteing around the room,
and right into the the pan of eggs she
nestled, and, of course, the bandbox,
pan and eggs all tumbled TO the floor
There was general miXture-that is,
the eggs and the hat became one and
the same. When the lady, attracted
hy the noise, got to the door and saw
the condition of things, she was mad,
good mad, very mad. She could
afford for the wash-bowl and new plates
to be broken, but for all the eggs she
had to 90 into the cake to be broken,
and the hat everlastingly ruined, was
to much for her Christian resignation,
and, in the language of "Uncle" Steve
Pearson, when the hog turned over his
sirup, she wanted to turn over the
house. The lady weighs considerably
over hundred, and the day was warm,
but she ran that hen down, and men
tally vowed that the preachers should
eat her. For safe-keeping the hen was
put in strong coop. In an hour the
hen was found in the wood-boX, setting
in the corner of the room, and there
were f0uId, two eggs,

SrocKs-The market was strong to-day
and during the last hour the highest prices
generally were made. The feature OF the
day was the appearance of a considerable
volume of orders on stocks from outsiders,
which, together with the demand for bonds,
looks like the beginning of reinyestment.
July incomes of Southwestern and Granger
shares were the particular features, the
former being favorably influenced
by the large harvests and pur-
cbases by capitalists prominently iaen-
tilted with roads. Stated time loans to
considerable emount have been negotiated
on some OF these shares which indicates
bull campaign in them. Lake Shere de.
clined on the Offering of number OF
thousands Of shares. The Pacific Mail
Steamship Company has ordered its
agents to increase the rate for freight
from % to SO per cent, in consequence OF
the proposed closing of the Snez canal.
The order was sent to all agents in the
East. Specialties were generally higher.
The continued upward move in Rochester
and Pittsburgh is stimulated by the report
that the road had attracted the attention OF
several trunk line managers, and that there
would likely he some competition Tor the
control of the property. Prices in some
instances are the highest yet made on the
current upward movement in values.

PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

Louisville merchants aspire to the trade of
West Tennessee, now almost at their doors by
recent railway construction.
The City Council of Louisville has re-
lscted the petition Of the Chesapeake, Ohio
and Southwestern railway for right Of way
through one of its streets. They have an
eye 20 a union depot.
The Louisville Courier Journal states: "On
the 18th Of this month the gauge Of the line
from here to Memphis is to be changed to
correspond with the Chesapeake and Ohio,
4 feet s inches. This change will be made
in one day, and preparations for it are now
going forward. The rolling stock will be in
readiness for it."
The first thirty-fve miles of railway grad
ing out from New Laredo, Mex, on the In
ternationai road were completed Friday. 1t
is understood further grading will be sus-
pended until the Mexican government will
accept the survey and location. 1t is be-
lieved the government IL delaying work pur-
posely to retard the completion Of railroads
faster than the government is prepared or
willing to pay the bonus of 81 600. The
delay will cause great loss upon American
contractors, who have large and costly outfits
in Mexico.
Ral~ay Re lister: "The growth of the mar
row-gauge railroad systems has been rapid
and, on the whole, fairly satisfactory. Be-

mountainous regions, as the Utah and North
. n and Denver and Rio Grande sufficiently
prove. The Toledo, Cincinnati and st. Louis
and the Texas and st. Louis systems will
soon show what can be done by the narrow
gauge 10 a level country in competition with
the old lines of standard construction. The
Toledo, Cincinnati and ST. Louis is nearly
completed, and the Texas and St. Louis will
soon be opened from Birds Point, on the
Mississippi, to the Rio Grande. 1t has re-
Gently made a very advantageous contract
with the Illinois Central and the Cairo Short
Line for an interchange of traffic. This
agreement provides for the formation of a
through line of road from Chicago and St.
Louis into Texas, and is to continue in force
for so years. Each company puts in
a sufficient number of cars with trans
ferable trucks, so that through trains can
be run between all parts Of the East
and Texas. The new arrangement begins
June 1st, and each company will furnish
800 cars. This gives the Texas and St. Louis
an excellent outlet to the North, in addition
10 its connection with st. Louis over the st.
Lsuis and Cairo n~arrow-gauge, and one
which will enable il TO successfully compete
with existing lines. 1t is proposed to run
though cars between Chicago and Texas, and
there are reasons why such a plan should
give the new route several advantages over
other competitors. The managers of the
Texas and st. Louis should receive due
credit for their perseverance and acumen,
which has enabled them to overcome obsta-
Giles which would have daunted less san
guine and capable men.
