The Soudan might seem, at
first glance, to be q queer place
for the getting up Of q corner in
candy. But when one ia informed
that most OF the gum arabic Of
commerce comes from that region,
the wonder disappears. From the
Soudan come the bales Of gum
that bind the world together in
chains OF "iinked sweetness, long
drawn out And the False
Prophet Of Islam has shown q
familiarity with the most advanced
modern civilization in his recent
action that is creditable to his
intelligence and shrewdness.
Everyone knows that children
rule the world; and children must
have and will have candy, at any
price. The hold upon the nations
which FL Mahdi has. secured is
thus seen to be exceedingly tena-
cious-in fact, considering the
g ture Of the substance under
discussion, it might be called a
hold that is bound TO stick. II
the prophet can permanently
control the candy market of the
world, he may compel bis adver-
saries to make what terms he
pleases
The chances are, however, that
in this country, at least. the
manufacture Of caxdy will go on
just as vigorously as ever. Gum
arabic may be prominent ingre
dent in the best candy now mar
ufactured, but il that fails, have
we not glucose to fall back upon
We should not wonder II the fac
tories which produce this insinu-
ating article we're expecting a
quiet but decided "boom" on
account of this war in the Soudsn.
OF course. candy manufacturers
will allege that they use nothing
but the pure gum arabic, imported
at enormous expense; but so do
the brewers allege that they use
nothing but malt and hops, and
as the statements Of the latter
left unexplained mysterious tran
sactions in glucose, aloes, quassia,
nux vomica and the rest of the
"substitutes," so will the new
"boom" for glucose be declared
inexplicable by the candy men
But II we must eat glucose candy

Mrs. M'nuade and Her Nelghbor.
IN. Y. Truth

Mrs. McQuade and her neighbor brought
their interesting quarrel before Justice Kill
breth, who had the misfortune to be sitting
In the Yorkville Police Court Yesterday
morning. Mrs. McQuade was fat, smiling
and the defendant in an embryonic suit for
assault and general unneighborly beh.vior.
Her neighbor was thin, not to say scrawny,
acidulous, not to say vitriolish, and filed
with the sense Of the great Importance Of
her cause. Both had much to say. Mrs,
McQuade got possession of His Honor's
right ear and her neighbor poured an eight
minute stream Of woe into the left one.
"We've not spoken TO each other since the
plumber was in the house, though we're the
best Of friends by nature, but when met
her in the hallway and the slanderous crea-
ture called me good-for- nothing wretch
my spirit rose In rebellion"
wretch" exclaimed Mrs. McQuade
throwing up her hands in unspeakable hor-
ror. "Oh, my, what word Your Honor,
never, never did use such language TO any
body Of either sex. Annie, you surely can
not accuse mo Of that"
"She did, Your Honor. She called me a
good for nothing wretch"
Haven't always been your friendS"
That's for you to say, Mary McQuade,
bat no friendship can survive the remarks
Of your tongue"
"Mrs. McQuade, this must never happen
again." said the Court, with solemnity
befitting the terrible offense. 81 shall in
sist upon you two ladies' living together in
ponce and harEsOny. There, that will do.
Mrs. McQuade is bound over to keep the
peace"
The Court buried his face in his handker-
chief, while tho two ladies departed very
well satisfied with the Pickwickian sem
tence.

Alexander Hamilton at Kings Coll ,ge.

The most distinguished student Of
Kings College, Alexander Hamilton.
naticulated in l774. At that time all
mems minds were deeply moved by the
great question of the revolution. Presi-
dent Cooper sided with the mothe.'
country, talking and writing with all
his power against the freedom OF the
colonies. The tide of indignation rising
higher and higher against such doc
.rlues, II was finally determined to hold
public meeting in the open fed just
above Dey street, on the 9th Of July,
l77i, for the purpose Of protesting
against the acts OF the authorities.
Young Hamilton was urged TO address
the meeting, and as he closed brilliant
and impassioned address, the cry Of
surprise: ut is a colleaian," with which
his youthful appearance was received,
gave way to loud expressions Of wonder
and applause.
Young Hamilton presently crossed
swords, or pens, with his co lege Presi-
dent, who could not believe at first that
so young man could be so strong a
pamphleteer. In one OF the periods of
the excitement a liberty mob ap-
preached the college with the purpose
Of laying violent hands on the Tory
President. As they drew near his resi-
dence, Hamilton and Robert Troup. a
fellow student, assembled the steps, and
fearful lest in this moment OF irritation
they might commit some excess, Ham,
ilton, in order to give the President
time to escape, harangued the mob
with great eloquence and animation
ION the excessive impropriety Of their
conduct, and the disgrace they were
bringing on the cause OF liberty, OF
which they professed To be the cham
pions."
In the mean time another student,
who had preceded the throng. had
warned tho President OF his danger,
Just In time TO save him. "He escaped,
only half dressed, over the college fence,
reached the shore Of the Hudson, and
wandered along the river-bank till near
morning. when he found shelter in the
house OF his friend Mr.. Stuyvesant,
where he remained for that day. and
during the night following took refuge
on board the King6sher, an English
ship OF war, In which soon afterward he
sailed for England. John MacAul-
len, in Hdrper's Magazine.

WITH THE FACE or A DOG.
Arrival OF Monstrosity which Has Caused
Much Wonder In Europe.
IN. Y. Worldl

Much Wonder In Europe.
my. world.l
One of the greatest curiosities that has
ever been brought TO these shores arrived
yesterday in the steamer City Of Chicago
from Liverpool. 1t is the Russian dog
faced man, or boy, for he Is only fourteen
years old, who has been on exhibition
under the name OF "Jo-Jo'l since he wai
two years old, first in st. Petersburg and
then In Berlin, Vienna, Paris, London, and
many other large cities of Europe. This
wonderful phenomenon, which has puzzled
the most learned medical heads In Europe,
was brought TO this country for exhibition
by Russian named Nicholas Forster, of
st. Petersburg, who, together with his
young and pretty wife, has been appointed
by the Russian Government guardian OF
the young man, who calls him "Uncle."
"Jo-Jo" is four feet high. He is well
built, like an ordinary healthy boy, and
weighs about 100 pounds. The singularity
attached to him Is that his face, could no
other portion Of his body be seen, would be
taken for thoroughbred skye terrier, be-
cause Of the hirsute appendages. The hair,
which Is long, straight and silky, covers
the whole lface, leaving only the large,
human-shaped hazel eyes, the left of which
has cast, and full pink lips exposed, pro-
viding 1t is kept brushed back on the FORE
head, when II mingles with the hair Of the
head, which Is fawn-colored, and falls
down upon the shoulders. The silky hair
on the forehead is a light gray and about
ehree inches long, gradually shortening as
it traverses the bridge and approaches the
tip Of the nose. The nose itself and its
cartileges are completely hidden by the
long blonde hair which thickens on either
side Of the nose and falls over the upper
lip, which is entirely devoid of hair,
its skin being as white and soft as that of q
young girl. The cheeks from the ears down
and the chin are alike covered with hair
two inches long, a couple of shades darker
than that under the eyes and on the nose,
and slightly lighter than that on the head.
The neck, shoulders and body downward,
as well as the limbs, are covered with fine
white hair about an inch long, while O
strip about two inches wide along the
length of the spine is two inches or more in
length, and of slate color. The hands
and feet, which are the natural size of those
OF a fourteen-year-old boy, are entirely de-
void OF hair. The hands are plump and the
fingers tapering, indications of fine blood.
The mouth, which is small, contains but
four regularly shaped canine teeth, two In
the upper jaw, one on either side, and two
in the lower, close together on the left side.
The gums are quite hard and red, and
when tn. boy eats he grinds his food be-
tween the teeth on the left side, tearing
meat like dog.

OUR OWN HOME AND OUR own

Our own home Is the sweet, sweet home,
Wherever that home may be;
HID In tho strength of the mountains,
Or down by the tossing sea.
IL may stand on tho bound ,ess prairie,
Mid the blowing corn and wheat,
Or be but pleasant room or two
In busy city street.
But it's our honel our own dear homel
And though It be plain and small
And though we may stay In grander ones,
Our home Is dearest OF all.
For there the father goes In and out
Through the busy, ch ,erful days;
And the little children talk of us,
And the darling mother prays.
For there Ia no folk like our own folk,
Though many true friends we fad;
Who is so true as father
SO wise, 80 tender kind2
And mother-love IL the strong love;
In sorrow or Joy or pain,
All Of us long for our mothers heart,
And our own mothers voice again.
We've loved and laughed and wept together
We, OF one household band;
We may scatter far, far. Gust or wost
Into many q foreign land;
But the homo tio is the strong tie,
And wherever our feet may roam
We'll find no friends like our own folk,
No home like our own dear home
There father and mother speak our name
When they pray by the evening light;
There bro hers aud sisters, ere they Sleep
Wish us loving goodnight.
