The Mohammedan Messiah

Cable intelligence is to the effect that the
fa'se prophet of the Soudan, who proclaims
himself Ell Mehdi, or the Messiah, has won
great victories over the Egyptians, and is
marching North with the intent to seize
upon the Khalifat and effect reformation
in the Mohammedan world. This leader.
about whom little is known, seems to have
taken advantage of the old Moslem belief of
a Messiah that is to come to the people
of the prophet in the time of their
greatest need. The expectancy of the
coming of the Mehdi, or Mowhadi, or
Messiah, has been much quickened of
late by the defeat or Arab ia Egypt and
the growing belief in the impotency of the
house Of Gilman. Mussulmans of all sects,
whether orthodox OF heretical, believe that
in the dark hour of Islam God will send
down Mehdi, or Teacher, whom Moham-
med himself foresaw, and who he plophesied
should be an Arab of the clan Koreish, and
a descendent of his own house. He will re-
store Islam, reunite the Faithful, and either
become Khalif or for time sapercede him,
as ruler of the Mohammedans throughout
the world. Usually, the belief is of no more
Importance than the belief of some Chris
tians in the coming of the millennium, but
OF late it has taken stronger hold of the
general Mussulman mind, has become a
dogma instead of recognized ideal, crops up
in many places at once, and most seriously
disturbs the old established Mohammedan
governments, whose rulers are well aware
that the moral basis of their authority would
be wholly destroyed by the appearance of
such a pretender. The old domain of the
Fatimites is in particular dissatisfied with
its rulers and ripe for revolt. 1t is altogeth-
er likely thai the Soudan chief, who claims
kinship with the Koreish, will become the
leader of widespread revolution. Sultans,
and Khedyes, and Beys certainly can do lit
tie against him. The only formidable bar
rier to his progress is 10 be found in the un
belever-in the armies and fleets of Eu-
roma

Charley and the Marbles.

Charles was little boy who loved his Moth
er dearly, and whenever she told him anything
he was very careful to Obey.
One day in the Spring when the birds were
singing and the buds on the apple trees were
almost ready to burst into beautiful white BIOS
soms Charles asked his mother for Ten Cents
to buy Marbles, for the ground was getting dry
and the other boys were beginning to enjoy
their favorite Sport "You can have the mon
ey, my son, ;" said his mother, "but you must
promise me not to play for Keeps, and every
night that you can come home and tell me
trnthfully that you have not disobeyed your
mamma, will give you Large Red Apple"
And then she kissed him fondly, and he went
gayly away to School.
But before Charles had gone very far he met
Thomas Tough who was a Bad Boy. Charles
told Thomas about the Ten Cents that his
Mother had given him to buy Marbles with,
and also told him that he could not play for
Keeps, unless he was willing to go without the
Red Apple
When Thomas heard this he said "Givs me
the Marbles that you are geing to buy, and
will play witt them for Keeps and after School
IS out we will divide what have won, for l
am Superior PLAYER Then YOU can truthful
playing for Keeps, and will receive tie Red
Apple"
So Charles gave his Marbles to Thomas, and
after School was out asked him how many
Marbles he had won.
~ did not win" replied Thomas. ~ struck
hard crowd, and lost"
Then Charles was sad, for he was q pretty
Tight-Fisted little boy, and began to cry. But
presently he said to Thomas "You are a
naughty boy, and hate you Very Much "
And then Thomas hit Charles in the Nose,
and threw him down in the Dirt, making his
panties look very bad indeed.
So when Charles reached home he told his
Papa all about his troubles. When he had fin :
ished his Papa said to him. "You don't know
as much as Thompson's Colt, and l am going
to Take Crack at you myself"
Then he gave Charles good Licking, and
sent him to bed without any Supper. And
when Charles had lain on his Stomach for q
while, because he felt more Comfortable that
way: he said to himself: mo more Blind
Pools for me-"
Do you not think he had great Head, chill
dren? do.

Moral Tales from the Chicago TrT
une.
Ice Cream and Dogs.

Little Lucy's big brother Charles promised
to buy her some ice cream every Saturday If
she would keep her hair nicely brushed during
the week.
One day Lucy aud her brother we re going to
the place where the ice cream was kept Lucy
wss trotting along, holding Charles's har d..
She heard strange noise in the street near
them. Looking, she saw two boys with little
eeru dog. One boy had tied string to the
poor little dogs tail, and on the other end of
the string was deserted oyster can.
"Oh, BROTHER" said Lucy, 'see what the
wicked boys are doing"
And then tears filed her eyes because she
felt sorry for the dog.
Then Charles asked the boys to let the dog
go They would not do this, but said they
would sell him the dog for 25 cents.
"If we buy the dog, Lucy, you can have no
ice cream for have only % cents ia my pock-
ct" said Charles.
Then Lucy was very sad, for she loved ice
cream dearly, but still she knew it was her dn-
ty to prevent the dog from suffering.
So for moment she was silent, and then
looking up to her brother, she said in her pref
ty way: "You kick in the ribs of the boys,
dear brother, and will hustle the pup up the
alley"
And SO Lucy had her ice cream after all.

AN important piece of news is just at
hand in regard to the recent gain by the
Liberals of thirty seats in the Prussian Diet
1t seems that this gain of the Liberals was
not the loss of the Conservatives. According
to the latest dispatches both the Conserva-
tive and Centre parties held their own, and
these thirty seats were gained by the Liber-
ais from the ranks of the Nationalist and
the new Conservatives. This is so evident
ly a circumstance of extreme Importance
that the average American reader will no
doubt feel sense of deep regret at his ina
bility to fully appreciate its meaning, but
the political factions of the Fatherand are
so numerous and SO closely related that one
may be excused for failure to appreciate
their idiosyncrasies. What is the particular
propensity of the Nationalist, for instance,
and wherein do the new Conservatives differ
from the old originals? These are mysteries
which others than natives cannot be expect
ed to fathom
