THE FIGHT IN THE sOUDAN.

At last the disciplined forces of the
British army have met and defeated a
part of the half armed and fanatical fol-
lowers of the Mahdi, $4,000 strong. The
battle was fought under the command OF
Gen. Graham, 8, 900 strong, on nearly the
same spot where the worthless army of
Baker Pasha was slaughtered short time
since. The rebels, as they are called, I'M
der the command of Osman Dignia, at
tackled the British with great ferocity,
armed with Remington rifles and spears.
The British formed in hollow square
and moved down their assailants with the
Gatllng guns at distance Of only five
paces-the Arabs meanwhile spearing e
soldiers. The troops having crushed the
attacking force, then charged the rebel
defenses, when a frightful melee of bayo-
nets and spears took place. The rebels
preferred death to retreat. The British
finally carried everything before them, af-
ter hours hard fighting. capturing 4
Krupp guns, 2 howitzers and one machine
gun, and killing over 1000 Of the enemy,
losing themselves "a killed and 142
wounded. Baker Pasha was dangerous
ly wounded by a shell. The desperate
character of the fighting may be judged
from the fact that most of the wounds re-
ceived by the British soldiers were made
by spears and simiters in face of with
ering fire of machine guns and Martini

THE MEXICAN VETERANS,

Ever since the veterans of the Union
army have been so generously provided
for out of the national treasury, it has
been expected that, in some way or other,
the southerners would get even in meas
ure. No sooner does Democratic Con-
gress come into power than bill is push
ed through to pension all the survivors of
the Mexican war, the larger portion of
whom were from the south, 227 yeas, IL
nays, which argues its probable passage
through the Senate. The lowest number
of survivors known to BELIEVING is 1924,
and at an average pension Of So per month
makes an annual addition of nearly 81,
100000, to our pension appropriation.
The Court of Claims, on March Sd, in a
test case brought by Gen. Emery, decid.
ed that every survivor Of the Mexican war
is entitled to three months extra pay.
The average age of the Mexican veterans
is 60 years.

Legislature, composed mainly of lawyers
and politicians, will not be satisfied
without spending in some way about SO
much of the dear peoples money, and if
we demand something for worthy
cause, they may be restrained from
spending unworthily. Now is this scheme
other than legitimate continuation of
the enlightened policy of this and other
States, Of promoting agricultural as well
as other knowledge at public expense.
But the benefits at present are local and
limited, while under this scheme, it
ought to be universal. Something of
this kind has been adopted in at least
one of the older States, and I have cause
to think with satisfactory results. How
ever, my knowledge is limited to news
paper reports of a few meetings only.
If thought there was any way of &C
complaining the same result without
State aid, 1 would not ask it, but I am
satisfied there is not. The expense need
not be more, or as much, as the expense
of running the University, and the re-
suits ought to be ten-fold greater. There
fore, move the adoption of the resolu-
ton.

BULWER LYTTON'S BRIDGE.
Where it Touches the Shores and
the Great Columns in Midstream.

''What beautiful bridge between old age
and childhood is religion. How intuitivey
the child begins with prayer and worship
on entering life, and how intuitively, on quit
ting life, the old man turns back to prayer
and worship, putting himself again side by
side with the infant, remarks Sir. E. Bulwer
Lytton in his "Strange Story"
Yes, but between its distant abutment the
bridge of life has many high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dash and roar
in wrath and deSOlatiOn. Prayer and worship
alone do not sustain these. Natures solid
rock must lie mistaken beneath, and human
art and skill must rear and SOlidify the strlct-
ure overhead. Gods will is best exemplified
in the laws He has made for the creatures He
has placed under their control. Neither the
childs trustful ''Our Father" nor the old
mans Forget me not in the midst of mine
infirmities," will alter this by the weight Of a
single grain.
Science and art f1rst-then faith and prayer
is the order of Heaven itself. Divinity
heals through its agents, and those agents
are the discoveries of man not the vague an
nouncement of prophets or seers. Is life a
| burden to you? Does time drag? Is your
power to cope with life's problem aud duties
weakened? You are not well. Your blood is
sluggish and tainted, perhaps; or some i'm
pOrtant orgau is torpid or overwOrked. This
fact may have taken he form of dyspepsia,
rheumatism, govt, malaria, pains in the
other ills. PARKER'S TONIC will invigorate
you, as fresh air invigOrates those who have
have been shut up in damp, fetid cells. 1t is
powerful, pure, delicious, scientific, safe-the
keystone of the central arch of the bridge of
life.
