A RumOr that Gordon Has Repulsed Two
Attacks by the Rebels.
LONDON, Oct. 31.-An official of Kabbabish,
an Arabian, states that General Gordon recently
repulsed an attack by the Mahdi's troops on
Amderman, opposite Khartoum. This telegram
dispels the uneasiness arising from the recent
absence of news.
Colonel Burnaby, in a recent speech,
described General Sir Evelyn Wood and
Sir Evelyn Barring as two of the greatest
evils in Egypt, and said if Sir Evelyn Baring's
counse,s were followed they would lead to the
destruction of the British expedition for the re-
lief of Khartoum. Sir Evelyn Wood has for
warded a reply from Wady-Halfa. He says:
"Burnaby, to whose wild words my attention
has been drawn, is sufficiently well know to dis
credit any cause he may advocate, and 1 do not
think his opinion will materially influence Eng
land"

to the monkey tribe. But it is
evident that we have brought this
animal as far rs the doctrine OF
evolution can bring or ever will
bring him, for the reason that the
most celebrated evolutionists
have argued outside of the Bible,
on scientific grounds only, and
have ignored the Mosaic account
of mans sinful nature and moral

when we consider the firmness

adhered to his views on every

that under any circumstances he

Cholera.
Boston Advertiser.

A year ago the inhabitants Of
the Egyptian towns Of Damietta
and Mansoura were dying OF
cholera at the rate Of from fifty
to eighty a day. Now it is Mar
settles, which reports nearly sixty
deaths between one sunrise and
another. The Egyptian towns
first attacked by the disease suf-
fered more in proportion to popu-
lation than those later visited.
With the former, too, it's form
was more malignant. Reason
ing from these and other facts,
it is fair to expect the death rate
in Marseilles to increase sharply,
and then to decline even more
rapidly until only a few scattered
cases tell Of imprudent returns to
infected homes. Avignon, Lyons
and the Spanish seaboard are the
spots most likely to develop the
next cases.
