The Belenguered Town.

The town of Khartoum, the capital Of the
Soudan, and chief trade emporium for the whole
country, is built on a barren, stoneless and wide
plain, on the west bank of the Blue Nile, and
about mile above its junction with the White
Nile. Its river frontage is about one and half
1nile its depth inward from the river about a
mile. AS its site is somewhat lower than the
point reached by both rivers when in flood, a
dyke fifteen to twenty feet in height has been
made along the banks of the Blue Nile, another
somewhat lower Immediately at the back of the
town, to protect it against the overflow Of the
White Nile. When at their lowest point both
streams are from 600 to 800 yards in width and
have several islands, which are cultivated The
White Nile is unfordable, except in one or two
places far up the river but the Blue can be
forded in many places above the town. When
in food the White Nile increases its width to a
very great extent, but not so the Blue Nile, as
its banks are much sleeper. Around Khartoum
are several small villages Both above and be-
low the town are small plantations of date
palms and plantains, also number of vegetable
gardens, According to an old custom or priv
ilege, none of these gardens pay any taxes.
With the exception of the river banks the coun-
try is bare and treeless.

THE GATLING GUN.
A Talk with It's Inventor-How General But
Ter Adopted the Weapon.

Washington Letter in Cleveland Leader.
Dr. Richard Jordan Gatling is now sixty-six
years old. He is a tall broad-shouldered, white
whiskered man, with a friendly face, bright blue
eyes and pleasant tongue. L talked with him
in the Ebbitt House last evening about his gun,
and he told me how he came to invent it. Said
he: 81 had made several inventions before this,
one of which was the wheat drill which is now
in use all over the country, and 1 think ii was
my study on it that prepared me for the Calling
gun In 1861 was living at Indianapolis. The
war had broken out, and the country was all ex-
element. My house was within few blocks of
the depot, and l was often present there when
volunteers were departing for the field, and also
when their dead bodies were at times shipped
back home in boxes for burial Onesurpriset to me
was that the number of men killed by sickness
and disease was more than those killed by
ball or actual battle. One day remember nine
teen corpses were landed at the depot; three had
been killed in battle. The thought then struck
me if gun could be invented that would do the
work of a hundred men, and would require but
a few men to operate it, that the horrors of war
would be greatly diminished, and an end would

Talmage's Sermon.


The first thing that 1 mark especially is in
competency for Office. If a man seek for place
and win it when he is incompetent he is comit-
ting a crime against God and crime against
man. 1t is not sin for me to be ignorant of
medical science; but if, without medical attain
ment set myself up among professional men,
and trife in my ignorance with the lives of
those whose confidence L have won, then
my charlatanism becomes ighhanded
knavery The ignorance that in the one
case was innocence, in the other case becomes
crime. 1t is not a sin for me to be ignorant of
machinery, but if | attempt to engineer q
