GENIAL ED-DIN.

The Afghan Philosopher Who S to Start
an Organ for FL NIahdi in Paris.
The Afghan sheikh and philosopher,
Genial Ed-Din, now residing in Paris, is
said to be the right-hand man Of Ell Nah
di. He is there to found a newspaper
printed in Arabic, TO be distributed gratui-
tously all over the Mussulman world.
Wealthy East Indians and Egyptians fur
nish the money. Its object will be to
preach the "Holy War;" a war without
pillage and without destruction of life, eX-
cept to those taken in arms. A reporter
of the Figaro interviewed GENIAL Ed-Din
and obtained the following particulars in
regard to the Mahdi or 'man inspired by
God to lead the way"
In the "Hadis," or words of the Pro-
phet, Mahommed predicts that after many
years namesake Of his shall be born.
whose parents names shall be the same
as his-Ab dallah and Aminet. The names
are common enough in all Mussulman
countries, but, in addition, he must be
"the savior" The Mahdi will capture
Rome, spread the Mussulman religion all
over the world, put an end to all wars,
crafty the world by his wisdom, and
make ali mankind happy tor two hundred
years.
IL he does not succeed, if he is killed or
taken prisoner, then he is not the real
Mahdi, and the Mussulmans will await
the coming of another.
His resources are immense. Personally
he owns nothing, but all is his by divine
right. When he comes into an Arab viii
lage the chiefs bring their treasures and
lay them at his feet.
Gemal-Ed-Din is a great theologian, an
ascetic, fanatic, student. He lived
seven years in a well, and his life is as
pure as that of Sir Galahad.

Improved Tenement Houses.

The subject of the building of improved
tenement houses for the poor, which has
commanded so much attention in Eng
/ land, is being discussed with renewed in
terest in various places in the United
States. This is not only matter that
/ concerns philanthrOpists, but the sanitary
| interests of the country, and should re-
! ceiye favorable consideration in every city
and town in the land. The prevailing no.
ton about a tenement house is that it
/ should be of the most economical con-
| struction, bdilt so as to be barely habita-
| bic, and with little or no regard to sani-
( tatiOn, comfort or convenience. This, of
! course, applies to that class of buildings
/ intended tor the occupancy Of tenants of
! limited means.
/ Graa+ irnDro,-~--0nLs have been made in

ations, and now the government Will
probably give substantial encouragement
to enterprises having this object in view.
if not take the lead in them. While the
tenements in this country are said to be
much superior to those Of England, they
are, as a general rule, sadly deficient in
many respects.
The subject is being agitated in Phila-
delphia probably to a greater extent than
in any other city Of tie Union. 1t has
been suggested there that the State should
by legislation compel landlords to make
their houses fit to live in, or prohibit the
renting of them, and that measures should
be taken to prevent Overcrowding. While
this would not be advisable in some 10
calities, the health boards Of every city
ought to be empowered and required to
regulate the tenant house system as
the sanitary condition and other circum-
stances of each locality may demand
The subject is a complex one and can
scarcely be regulated by general laws.
Model tenements can be erected in
blocks at cost of $500 to 1900 each, pro
vided with good ventilation, proper drain
age, and other necessary appliances and
conveniences. Enough philosophical
citizens ought to be found IN every city to
inaugurate a model tenement house sys-
TEN, securing to the poor the benefits to
be derived therefrOm at moderate rent.
Twelve per cent. on the cost of such
houses would be a very fair income,
would give a good margin for taxes, in
surance and repairs, and at the same
time place comfortable homes within the
reach of the poorest citizen.
a million dollars intelligently invested
in model tenements in such a city as Sa-
vannah, would not only be a good invest
ment from a financial point of view, but
it would be almost a charity. besides hav-
ing good effect on the health and general
prosperity of the city that could not be
estimated indOllars and cents.

ANDREW JACKsoN,s NIECE.
Sole Survivor of Her Family and Desti-
tute at Sixty-two Years OF Age.

Sole Survivor of Her Family and Desti-
tute at Sixty-twO Years OF Age.
Among the passengers on the North
bound L. & n. train Friday night, says the
Birmingham Ala Age of the 10th inst,
was a lady who has had keener expert
ence than most mortals of fortunes tickle
ness and whose history possesses a
melancholy interest. Her name is Mrs.
America Hillerd, and she is the niece and
nearest living relative Of Andrew jack
son. Her father, RobertlJ ackson, lived in
Bedford county, Virginia, and her hus-
band was Col. Jas. H. Hillerd. of the
same county, who commanded the 35th
Virginia cavalry during the war and was
killed at Gettysburg. After the war she
moved with her two sons to Baxter
county, Texas, where the sons bought
cattle rancho. Their business prOspered
and by the first of this year they were
worth $4,000, but a short time ago both
were killed by a band of Indians who
raided their rancho and either destroyed
or carried off their property. Mrs. HIllerd
was thus left there. at siXty-five years of
age, sole survivor of the family and with
no means of support; and she had no
choice but to return to her old home and
friends in Virginia. Money was given
her sufficient to buy a ticket to Blount
Springs, and she stopped there Thursday
night. 5ne IS now at that place
dependent upon the help of
strangers for the completion of her
journey. If there is truth in the say
ing of bread cast upon the waters, this
unfortunate lady will not want for help,
for in better days she always answered
the call of distress with a Iiberality Of
which instances are widely known. To
cite two of the most conspicuous of these,
she gave 500 to the help Of the sufferers
by the great fire in Chicago and $3.50 to the
yellow fever sufferers in Memphis in 1878.
Mrs. HIllerd's husband was a Royal
Arch Mason and an Odd Fellow, as is at
tested by papers she has. OF the $3.50 she
gave to the Memphis sufferers halfWas sent
to the MasOns and half to the Odd Eel
lows.

The Protection Democrats and the
Morrison Bill.

The reports from Washington indicate
that there is good deal of speculation
as to the course which Mr.. Randall and the
protection Democrats will pursue when
the Morrison tariff bill comes up for con-
sideratiOn. The impression seems to be
that they will oppose it. Whether they
will be able to defeat it, by joining with
the Republicans against it, is a question
on which there Is Indifference of opinion.
Mr.. Randall has not said squarely that he
would use whatever influence he pos
sessed to beat the bill,
but in published interviews he
has created the impression that he would.
Well informed members Of Congress have
said, if the published conversations with
them are to be relied upon, that the re-
venue reformers were strong enough to
pass the bill even if the protection Demo
Gratis voted with the Republicans, and
nothing has occurred lately to induce
them to entertain different opinion. The
talk, therefore, about holding a caucus for
the purpose Of compelling the minority
faction to act with the majority
faction on the bill cannot be very well
founded. There may he a caucus for the
purpose of agreeing upon q time to take
the bill up, but it is hardly probable that,
at any time, there has been a purpose to
force harmonious action by means of the
caucus. Such a course would hardly be
wise. Ii the protection Democrats want
to oppose the bill, let them oppose it, and
if they can defeat it let them defeat it.
/ They must take the responsibility for
their action. The Democratic party for
years has advocated tariff reform, and mas
pledged itselfin every possible way TO
effect that reform. If it refuses to avail
itself of the chance which it now has to
prove its sincerity the consequences will
be disastrous. 1t will be said that the
party does not dare to put in practice
what it advocates. II the Morrison bill
Is abandoned or defeated the party cannot
put in the national platform of 1884,
respecting the tariff, what it put
IN the platforms of 1876 an 1880
/ 1t will have to face square about
on the tariff issue. The curious
/ spectacle Of a very small minority Of the
/ party leading the great majority viii be
( presented. Does anybody believe that a
/ party under such circumstances can win
/ a great national contest? Those who urge
/ that the tariff issue ought to be kept in
/ the back ground make a grave mistake
