In letter dated April 22d, Gordon
writes that he has offered freedom and
pay to slaves who deserted Ell Mahdi.
This policy he hopes will sound the
doom of slavery in the Soudan. He
declares that il Shendy ia captured by
the rebels, it will be due to the G .vern-
ment's failure to send Seebsher Pasha

LONDON, OCT. N.-Recent official cor.

fairs has been made public. The letter
Of instructions from the Government
to General Wolsely stated that tbs
object Of the expedition was to bring
Gordon and Stewart from Khartoum.
No further offensive operations than
should prove necessary to secure this
enc would be permitted. Neither the
Engiish nor the Egyptian government
was prepared TO assume the response
bility Of the government of the Nile
Valley beyond Wady Halfs, though
they would be glad to see an independ-
ent government established at khar-
toum which would keep peace with
Egypt, would encourage commerce and
prevent the slave trade. When il was
known that General Gordon had sent
Stewart to burn Berber, the Govern
ment directed Kitchmer to send a
counter order to General Stewart.

THE HAPPY ISLES AND OTHER POEMS. B,

THE HAPPY ISLES AND OTHER POEMS. BY
s. H. NJ. BYERs. Boston: Capples, Upham & Co
This little volume will be read with pleas.
uro by lovers of gentle fancy and pleasant
rythm. The poems arc all elevated in tone,
and bear evidence of the true poetic instinct
of tho author, Capt. Byers, who has found
time while attending to his duties as consul
at Zurich, Switzerland, to give them to the
public. "Sherman's March to the Soa,"
which is included in the collec-
tion, is widely known, and there
are other poems of patriotic nature equally
as stirring and effective. But the authors
excellence is best shown in other efforts
where his delicate fancy is given full play as
in "The Happy Isles" "The Marriage of the
Flowers" "The Kiss of Jupiter" and others
that might be mentioned.
