1t is IN outrage for n man or woman to

The failure OF Ell MAnDI to advance forth

sure the lately panc-strcken defenders OF
that city, or even the Carene officials, al
though the later. we are informed. infer
from the delay that the forces of
tho False Prophet are disorganzcd.
The present outburst Of the fannti
cal and aggressive energies always
latent in Islam is revealing the normal char
actcristics of such connections, and is not
unlikely to follow the same course rs those
tremendous revivals of Moslcm zeal in north
west Africa which, under the Almoravidcs
and Almohadcs, built up vast empires and
postponed for centuries the downfall of the
Moors in Spain.
All the conqucsts made by the Moscms
under the stimulus of intense religious OK
ctcmcnt have proceeded by fits and starts
have been effected very slowly, II meas
ured by the principles OF modern strategy.
That is because the movements which give
rise 20 them are religious paroXysms rather
than military operations, migrations OF
converted nations rather than marches of
organized and disciplined armies. The fol-
lowers in whom certain Mohammcdan
prophets and rcformers in medieval and
modern times have managed To excite some
thing of the Irresistible ardor turned to such
marvellous account by the first Caliphs, are
d1vot"cs. not soldiers; they are less con-
ccrncd about the business of earth than the
rapturrs promised to them in Paradise. and
the provisions and precautions belong

the time the column of emigrants or zealots

the original inhabitants of the depleted land

and thus the rolling mass is continually

ALAltIC or ATTILA reached the plains OF Italy
the force at his disposal was composed of

before his amorphous materials are ready

repeated triumphs will lead to a general
uprising Of the Milo Bcdouns against the
Khcdive. Proof of this we have already
seen in the rcverses encountered by the
Egyptian troops at Suakim.
