The prominence which the SOudan re-
bellion has assumed in the past Few
months has not only paralyzed the
Egyptian authorities, but is causing the
most serious apprehensions on the part Of
Turkey. England and other powers in
terested in the East. From being con-
sidered a mere local uprising on the part
Of an ambitious fanatic and his followers,
since the defeat and humiliation of Hicks
Pasha's army, the cause of the False Proph-
ct has gathered adherents by the thou
sands. and he is now in undisputed pos
session Of an immense extent Of country
reaching TO the Red sea on the east, and
far beyond the Nile on the west. With
the exception of a few fortresses
which are in state OF
siege. the whole Of the Soudan and very
large part Of Nubia is at his mercy. He
has sent hundreds of emissaries into
Egypt. Arabia and other regions inhab-
tied bv superstitiOus and fanatical No
hammedans. and it is stated that large
numbers Of these people are ready to join
the revolt as soon as the standard Of FL
Mahdi appears among them.
Egypt is utterly POwerless to resist his
advance. and Turkey, now aroused with
aDprehensions for the safety Of orthodox
Islamism aud the supremacy-perhaps
even the existence Of the sublime Porte,
is unable from pecuniary embarrassments
to bring any very great force against him.
England has peculiarly important inter
ests in Egypt and the Suez canal, and It Is
probable she will be forced to take deer
sive steps to defend the water way TO her
great East Indian possessions. 1t would
seem. however, that instead of sendiRs
Gen. Gordon with a small escort TO use
his personal influence with the tribes OF
the Upper Nile that he should be accom-
panied with an army Of sufficient
strength 10 enable him to issue an ultl-
matum aud enforce his views at the point
OF the sword. fproclaiming Ell Mahdi's
uprising a rebellion by the highest Islam
authorities has no moral effect on his fol-
lovers. it is not likely that the personal
influence Of Gen. Gordon. who is rec0e-
nizad uubelever. viii accomplish any
thing with the ignorant and fanatlcal
people Of that country. who are united
with the False Prophet, not only by j
blind faith in his divinity. but by q natu-
raj love of plumber.
What the outcome of the Soudan rebel
lion Will BE fl IS impossible 10 conjecture.
Much depends on FL Mahdrs ability as a
commander and ruler. From the present
status Of affairs it appears, unless the
Christian powers interfere in the inter
ests Of peace and humanity, that he will
at least have a fair chance Of spreading
his cOnquests and doctrines over the whole
MOhammedan world. No doubt bis pur-
suit of the slave trade viii be the strong
est factor in securing his eventual defeat
and destruction. but it Is not likely that
this end can be accomplished without 2
lOug and bloody war.

THE SPECTRE BRIDEGROOM
CRUSHED.
His Wife Says That She Does Not wish
to Go With Him.

His Wife Saws That She Does Not Wish
to Go With Him.
A great murder trial could not have at
traeted more attention than did the ma
beas corpus proceedings instituted yes
terday by J. B. Garrison, the living skele-
ton, to determine why his wife, Bertha
E. Clear, says a Philadelphia special Oh
February 1st, had not been permitted 10
visit him since the wedding day. tuily a
thousand people were gathered about the
old court house at 10 O'Clock, when four
carriages. carving the witnesses,
rolled down Sixth street and halted IN
front Of the dingy old temple ol
Justice. From one of the vehicles mere
was eXtricated, with some dlfhculty' Miss
Ada Briggs, the fat woman. FROM an
other was lifted the skeleton, wrapped up
in an OvercOat. Following him came the
Circassian beauty. and then the ISnl-
ming calculator. Mr.. Haear, OF the LllhS
Museum, stepped from his carriage anu
offered his arm to Miss Briggs. MI. el-
lev. the handsome press agent, actea as
the escort Of the Circassian girl. Inc
calculator walked by himself, Dehlnd a
stout young man who carried IN MS aIlls
the spectral complainant.
Judge Biddle had Just disposed OF
petty criminal case when the procession
entered in this order. Miss Briggs slnlieu
sweetly, and cast a langulshlng LOOK at
Counsellor Shields. The Clrcasslah
opened her rosebud of a mouth and dis
played a dazzling array OF white teeth, 70
the intense delight of several orleiiess
LAWYERS. who obtained a seat near her.
As for the bag o. bones who caused al Tue
excitement, he was dumped into hlSh
chair, and sat there in helpless sort oI
fashion, with his hat on.
The proceedings were very Drlel' CON
sisting simply in Counsellor Snlelus reau-
ing his return to the writ OF haDeas COT
pus, and then stating that the young We
man, who was in court, hadssald that she
was not deprived of her liberty by ner
father, and was free to go where she
pleased. Then" said Counsellor HeV-
erin, ''that ends the case"
Judge Biddle called the bride aside and
questioned her privately. She said that
she wished to so with her father. The re-
suit was that she left the court room with
her father, without once looking at ner
shadowy husband.
Goodness" whispered the fat WO-
man, to her companion curiously when
the crier called up another case, lis 1t all
over? Why / thought they were going to
examine me. l should be delighted to hear
that handsome lawyer talk. Don't you
think he's sweet?'
s'Just too elegant for anything" am
swered the Circassian, turning her Won
drous Orbs in the direction of the attorney
for the complainant; This moustache IS
simply magnificent"
Then the fat woman got up and wad-
died out, and was hOisted into the car
riage by the united efforts of Mr.. Perley
and Mr.. Hagar, feat that was loudly
applauded. The smiling Circassian and
the calculator got in the hack together,
and after the wifeless attenuation had
taken his place, the party drove OF and
were soon lost to view.

A Good Bill.

Il is stated IN our dispatches that the
House Judiciary Committee viii report IA
yorably the bill to pay United States Mar
shals and District Attorneys salaries in
stead Of fees. Ifthe bill should be fayOrably
reported there is little doubt that it would
be passed by both the Senate and House.
A law such as Is proposed in this bill Is
very badly needed. The amount OF money
in unlawful fees taken from the govern
ment Will of course never be known. but
it must be very large. The Attorney Gen.
eral, IN his annual report, showed some of
the evils Of the fee system, and advised
salaries instead of fees. Brewster Came
ron, late General Agent Of the Department
of Justice. in a statement made not long
ago. called attention to one instance where
a Marshal had collected over so, 900 in fees
for which he mad not accounted. The fee
system has been the occasion Of most Of
the complaints against Marshals in the
South. Some of these Southern Marshals
and many Of their deputies have trumped
up charges against citizens and
harrassed them for 10 other purpose
than to make fees. If it had
not been for the fee system, Marshals,
District Attorneys and United States
Courts would not have been so unpopu-
lar in the South since the war as they
have been. The honest officials have
been forced to suffer for the deeds of those
who We're dishonest, and unfortunately
the dishonest officials appeared to have
been largely in the majority. The bill
ought to become a law,

1t Is proposed to celebrate the ter-cen-
tenary Of the landing Of Sir Walter Raj
eigh's expedition at Roanoke Island.
North Carolina, on the 18th of July. Sen
ator Vance has introduced bill proyid-
ing for making the celebration a national
event. Unless our authority is at fault
Sir Walters colony landed on Roanoke
Island in July, 1885. His first expedition.
however, reached Ocracoke Inlet in July,
1884. and explored Roanoke and Abe
marie sounds, but it returned to Eng
land, and he sent out the first
colony the following year. This was
thirty-fye years before the MayfiOwer
pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, and
nineteen years before the settlement of
Jamestown, Va. The settlers got into
difficulties with the Indians and returned
to England with Sir Francis brakes feet
the following year. Sir Walter sent out two
other colonies, which are supposed to
have fallen into the hands of the natives
and been eXterminated. He formed ex-
tensiye plans for the settlement of North
Carolina, but never even saw the country
about which his agents brought the most
glowing accounts.

The steamer George AppOld collided with
the American bark Lillian in heavy fog
ofPoint Lookout, Nd, Thursday evening
last. The AppOld broke her stem and
was otherwise damaged so as to require
her return to Baltimore, whence she had
lust sailed for Providence, r. 1. Her car
20 was discharged and she was dOcked
for repairs. The Lillian was badly dam
AGED on the port side, and would have
been cut down but for the fact that the
steamer struck her anchor and was
sheered of. By the GOODNESS Of the Cap
tains of both vessels panic was averted.
The Appold assisted in towing the bark
into port.

Miss Emily Faithful, who has recently
been lecturing in salt Lake City, was
shown great courtesy by the President
and other authorities Of the Mormon
Church. and was afforded unusual facili-
ties for pursuing her investigations. 1t is
likely she made a favorable impression
on the heart of some of the Elders, and if
she desired might have been the junior
and favorite wife of some high dignitary.
It is cheering to note, however, that she

1t is expected that the Kentucky Sena-
torship question will be settled tonight.
The contest has been long and earnest,
but. as far as the outside world is in
formed. without any marked unpleasant
ness. Senator Williams has been in the
lead from the beginning, but it is not GER
tain that he will be the successful candi-
date. 1t is stated that he has spent
over $4,000 in entertaining his friends
since the contest began. Doubtless this
statement is exaggerated. 1t is thought
that Carlisle can have the place if he viii
permit his friends to announce him as a
candidate. 1t would be rather comforta-
bic for him to step over into the Senate as
as soon as his term as Speaker expires.
