THE BLACK MANS PROPHET.
The new champion Of Islam is a fighting
prophet; just the kind of man to appeal to
the imaginations and win the affections of
the wild men of the de sert He takes part
in all the battles, and does not spare his own
person. There is report current that in the
fight with Hicks army the mehdi received q
sword cut across the forehead which divided
the brass cap which he wears under his tur
ban, and inflicted an ugly wound. For some
time after the battle ne did not appear in
public mot even attending the customary
public prayers on Friday. His Heutenants
gave out that be had retired from the world
to commune with Allah, but there is q
shrewd suspicion that his wound had more to
do with his temporary retirement than had
his prayers If this story Of the wound be
well founded, and it is here generally be-
lieved, it would account for the extraordi-
nary inaction Of the mehdi's forces since the
defeat Of Gen. Hicks
Mobammed Ahmed is the black mans
prophet, and the black man is resolved that
the white face shall not come into Africa as
q master-not at least, if the black man can
help it. This race antagonism is strength
ened and deepened by religious sentiment
Those of the black race who have any re-
ligion at all are Moslems, and they view
with natural apprehension the interference
of Christian states i'll tbs government of
Egypt. 1t is the feeling that the khedive is
under the control Of the infidels that has de-
prived his government of all moral influence
in the Soudan, and which Is gradu-
ally destroying its authority over
Egypt proper. The mehdi understands this
ami will make no compromise nor enter into
any relations either with the khedive or any
other government tainted with infdelity.
Gordon Pasha's idea of bribing him with ain
acknowledgment Of his position prince OF
kordofan, was a clever move, and had Mo-
manned Ahmed made the mistake of accept
ing it his influence would have Immediately
begun to decline. Mohammcd Ahmed is
however, shrewder person than those who
talk Of him as a savage imagine. When he
read Gordon Pasha's letter it is commonly re-
ported that he burned it publicly and sent
word that "his mission came from God, and
did not need titles. II Gordon Pasha felt him
self strong and would wait little, he, No
manned Ahmed, would come to Khartoum"

On the occasions of his public visits 70 the

full Arab horse, and by his side hangs a
sword which is no idle ornament. HIS dress
is cafsan similar in shape to that worn by
other MOhammedan priests, but II is varie-
gated in color and richly ornamental. On his
head is a bras cap covered 10y white tur-
ban. sirrnounoed byfa plume of ostrich
feathers At the hour appointed for public
prayers, his followers assemble in front Of
the Mouiirieh armed with their spears,
swords, and shields, and when he mounts his
horse this vast armed multitude surround
him in dense mass, and he is 50 10 say
carried TO the mosque in this human
torrent On his way back he is escorted
with the same care and ceremony. This Gus
tom is no doubt a prccaution, and perhaps
not an unnecessary one. II augurs strong
devotion on the mehdis followers, and proves
that he has known how TO gain their afreI>
ton rs well as their obedience, There is one
characteristic Of the new prophet which viii
secure him friends in England He is total
abstinence man Of the purest water. With
the demon Of drunkenness he wages fierce
and relentless war. Compared 10 this Arab

OBITUARY..
THE REV. DIR. JOHN c. BACKUs.


BALTIMORE, April 9.-The Rev. John e.
Bacls d. D. LII D.. pastor emeritus of the First Pres
byeran Church died at his residence in this city last
night in his ssventyfOurth year Although Dr. Backus
had falling health for time and confined to
his house for several weeks hs death was unexpected
and was a shock TO the community when made
known this forenoon, for lie was taVor-
tie not only among all religious denomi-
ations, but with the general public. being liberal
ana tolerant in his views. Dr.. Baoks was native OF
Westheld Conn, graduate of Harvard IN 1881. He
studied theology at Princeton for three years. In 1888
he became centiate and In December OF that year was
called to New-Orleaus On his way to that city he
stopped at Baltimore where OWING to the death OF MI
Neyns the pulpit Of tho First Presbyterian Church
which Mr. Nevns had long and acceptaby illed, WAS
vacant An invitation 70 preach was extended 10 MI.
Backus and was accepted.
He produced such favorable impression as to result
in his election IN lls6 to Oitciate as the perma,
neut pastor, which position nc accepted
and held until 1879 when account OF increasing years
and delicate health he asked 10 be relieved OF his charge
Ills asscnted condition that be would as
sumo the relation OF pastor emeritus, as they were nm
WI ling he should entirely his pastoral connection
with the church which he had built m and served 80
faithfully, satisfactorily and efficiently In 1881 iDr.
Bacus was chosen moderator OF the General Assembly
Of the church. His funeral viii take place Oh Friday at
