Arabs Opinion Of the Mahdi.

The Con>tantinople correspondent of
the Morning Post states that he has had
the opportunity of talking at some
length with Il gentleman recently ar
rived from Ceyion, and who during the
last few months had many and contin.
uous opportunities of seeing and con-
ferring with Arab Pasha. This gentle
man said: 1.-THE victory of the Mahdi
would cause no surprise whatever to
Arab Pasha, who over and over again
repeated to me that his influence was
very great. and that England ought to
be prepared to see him march some day
or other on Cairo. Arab Tasha told
my friend that nothing had struck him
so much as the complete Ignorance OF
Europeans as to the power of Moham-
mechanism. What Europeans were
pleased to call fanaticiSm was a spirit
of s~elf-sacrifice and devotion comb ned
with courage and organization, which
must make Europe tremble. 1t was
that sentiment. and not his personal am
bition, which had made him in the
space of a few weeks master of the
situation in Egypt. His name had be-
come popular all over the Mohamme-
dan world, and as a proof of this arab
Pasha showed my friend piles of vol
umes which during his exile in Ceylon
had been filled BY the most influential
personages in India. who still continue
going to Ceylon as on a pilgrimage. tc
confer with the promoter of the Egyp-
tan rebellion and write their names
and words expressing hope in the
speedy triumph in books which are pur-
posely kept in the house occupied by
Arab. Ever since his arrival
in Ceylon Arab Pasha expressed the
opinion that the Mahdi would triumph,
as he knew better than Europeans APP

Hunting Buffalo.

Those of the readers of the san who
have YER met Mr.. Thomas Dunbar.
lessee OF the Milwaukee Driving Park,
have seen a rather small man, but they
have seen a man who is as full of bust
ness as any man in the world. He is
chain lightning in anything he under
takes, and enthusiastic to the last de-
gree. At the time the Buffalo Bill
party was here at the driving park, Mr..
Dunbar watched the proceedings with
much interest. He was particularly
struck with the Buffalo hunt on the
track, where the cowboys chased the
tame butfalOes around ard shot blank
cartridges at them, after which the
butfaloes would 90 and lay down and
chew Mr.. Dunbar's hay. He became
wild on the subject of hunting buffa-
loes, and even had a sort of liking for
the business of robbing stage coaches,
though he considered the latter hardly
the correct thing. But hunting bufla-
loes he glOried in. and. for a week or
two after the buffalo show went away,
Mr.. Dunbar could be seen, early in the
morning, mounted on a brood mare in
his pasture, chasing cows around the
Enclosure. The brood mare fell down
with Mr.. Dunbar q dozen times or so,
and rolled yer ON him, but he would
get up with a wild w%arwhoop. remount
the animal, and chase after a COW in a
manner that showed him to be q thor
oughbred. For several days he wore an
arm in a sling, and he had a doctor en-
ploye3 by the season. to plaster up feat
ures thss became demoralized by his
frequent falls, hut he persisted in his
fighting cows until he sighed for wilder
game. His friends will remember that
he suddenly disappeared, and was not
seen in the city for several weeks. 1t
was rumored that he had been abduct-
Cd. and was held for ransom, but his
temperance here last week put a stop
to al fears. He has not told where he
put in the time, but a paper from Da-
k0ta gives the whole story. 1t seems
that Mr.. Dunbar's desire to kill wild
buffalo became so intense that he could
not be content to chase cows, so he
armed himself with several different
kinds of shooting utensils and went to
Dakota in search of wild game. He
remained at Aberdeen several days,
watching for buffalo, but none came
into the city limits. SO he took passage
on a stage, and wher between Swan
Lake and LIE Beau. a herd of seven buff
faioS were seen grazing in the distance.

The stage was stopped, and Mr.. Dun
bar bribed the driver to allow him to
take u of the stage horses for q buff
falo hunt. The driver said that it was
against the rules, but a sum
of money sufficient to overcome
his scruples was forthcoming,
and the lead horse was saddled and
with a regular COmanche yell, Dunbar
charged towards the buffaloes. The
animals heard the noise and started
West on a pretty fair trot and the horse
took the rider within shooting distance
in going a mile. He rode along side OF
a buffalo cow, that was going a pretty
good eight minute gait, and prepared
to shoot, when he found that in his hur-
ry he had forgotten to take his gun out
of the stage. and all the arms he had
with him were the Ones nature had pro-
| vided him with. For half a mile he
rode along beside the wild game, call
gun. file looked at the buffaloes, and
the buffaloes locked at him. and as
they got ON a slight elevation, a ranch
was seen a short distance ahead. and a
man on horseback. The b~uffalOes trot-
| ted right along towards the ranch. and
suddenly it Occurrid to Dunbar that the
buffaloes were tame ones. The animals
Stacked up and walked, as they came
near the ranch, and n of them went
up to a trough under a windmill, and
began drinking. Dunbar is a man who
does not require a year or eighteen
months to get anything through his
head, 50 he rode up to the man
and said: ~ have brought your
buffaloes home" The man looked
at Dunbar c%uriously. and asked him
why he didn't walk them instead of run
ming them across the prairie, and Dun
bar said he "a in a hurry. He said
the fact was he was going along in
the stage, looking for tame buhaloes to
organize n wild West show, an,l the
driver told him those buffalOes belonged
to a man about three miles west. AMI
he thought they could he bought. SO he
got the driver to sol, the stage aDdlend
him a hCYse to go 10 the ranch, and Se
thought as he was coming right along
he would drive the buifaloe.. That
seemed satisfactory. and Mr.. Dunbar
soon bargained for the herd. at a certain
pliCC, W III CtiiCu " NIli'n tcu uslNS,
and he gave the man a dollar to bind
the bargain. and went back to the stage.
where the driver and passengers were
laughing at him for chasing tame buff
faloes, but when lie showed that he
knew they were tame. and had gone to
the ranch to buy them, the laugh was
on the other side. Dunbar will never
take those tame buflaloeS, but he will
always thank his stars that he did not
have his gun along, for if he had killed
one of them the owner would have
sailed him about two hundred dollars.
We understand that Dunbar gives a diff
ferent version of his buffalo experience,
claiming to have killed millions of
them, but we would rather take the
statement of the Dakota paper, which
is unbiased.-Peck's San.

The Thirsty Eucalyptus.

Where there is surplus moisture to
dispose of as, for example, a cesspoa.
to keep dry. a large eucalyptus will &C
cOmplish not a little. and a group OF
them will dispose of a vast amount
house-sewerage. But if you have wa.
which you do not wish to exhaust, as in
a good well. itwould be wise to put the
eucalyptus very far away. Daniel
Sweet. Of Bay Island farm. Almeda
County. recently found q curious root
formation of the eucalyptus in the bot
tom Of his well, about sixteen feet be-
low the surface. The trees to which the
roots belong stand fifty feet from the
well. Two shoots pierced through the
BRICK wall of the well. and, sending off
millions of fibers, formed a dense mat
that completely covered the bottom OF
the well. Most of these fibers are nc
larger than threads, and are SO woven
and intertwisted as to form a mat as
impenetrable and strong as though reg.
ularly woven in a loom. The mat when
first taken out of the we'll was water.
soaked and covered with mud, and
nearly all q man could lift, but when
dry twas nearly rs soft to touch as
wool, and weighed only few ounces.
This is a good illustration # how the
eucalyptus absOrbs moisture, its roots
going SO far to find water, pushing
themselves through a brick wall. and
then developing enormously after the
water is reached. Mr.. Sweet thinks one
of the causes of the drying up of wells

The Damage Done by Sheep Dogs.

The damage done by dogs, always o.
the most worthless character, in all
districts where wool growing is carried
on to any extent, is only known to those
who directly suffer from them. The
feeling in such districts against dogs
as a rule is very bitter, and many val.
liable animals, guiltless of harm, are
frequently destroyed There is scarce
ly a Legislature in any State, where
WOO! growing is prosecuted to any ex-
tent. which is not applied to for laws
to protect sheep against the depreda-
tons of dogs, by imposing a dOg-tax.
damages shall be paid to those suffer-
ing from dogs where the owners of these
midnight providers may be unknown.
In many regions where sheep farming
is almost the exclusive line pursued.
and on the successful prosecution Of
which farmers rely almost entirely for
their income, the rayages of scalawag
dogs, which nobody is willing to own
when these charges are brought against
them, will sometimes in a single night
or two sweep away the profits of q
year. We are not surprised that peO-
pie, especially farmers who live, in the
main, isolated lives, should value the
protection which a good dog will afford
to their premises. This, no n can
deny is more or less valuable, though
it is a well-known fact that burglars
care little for dogs. They know how
to ''fiX" item, if they are likely to stand
in the way of their operations; and upon
the whole the loss suffered from sheep
dogs are hundreds of times over greater
than any protection afforded by them
against thieves.
We know it to lie n fact that many
farmers have sold Oft their sheep simply
for the reason of the damage suffered
from the most valueless sort of mOngrel
dogs. No matter how numerous these
sheep killing dogs abound in a neigh
bOrhOod. nobody owns them nor pays
taxes for them. though they are found
to be fixtures upon their farms. But
there is one sure mod of discovering
the guilty parties. That is by eXamin-
ing their mouths ami bodies for the evil
dence of their crime. They are sure to
have plenty of blood-stainS about them,
and if traced to them by this unques-
toned sign. no opposite should save
them from death and their n from
being mulcted in round damages. The
loss of so much valuable stock is enough
to excite the Indignation of every farm
er suffering in this way; and there
should be nothing short of a penal stat
ute as perhaps tie most certain remedy
against these villainous Gepredators. 1t
will, if anything is calculated to do so.
put the owners of such dogs in a very
unpleasant position. 1t is needless to
say that we have a great love for reputa-
Die dogs. No animal shows so deep IN
attachment to their owners. and there
are many breeds of these. The value
of many of these are placed side by side
with a twO-forty horse; buU while we
freely make this statement, we As freely
repeat that there is no greater evil,
arising far above a nuisance, than a ma
iority of the dogs everywhere existing.

RingwOrm.

One Of the medical names of this all.
ment is herpes circindtd, which is near
" the same as our familiar term. They
each refer to the way in which it moves
like a creeping circle, a ring constant
ly enlarging itself outward from its
cen.er.
The disease is caused by a parasitic
plant-micrOscOpic of cOurse-lodginS
on the skin and then getting down into
its substance. 1t then prOpagates its
kind. Each new brood develops a lit
tie further from the ccntero of the circle.
TIE first things not ced are an itching,
a burning. Il slight redness. These are
soon followed by a small number of
v~esicles minute elevations filled with
a watery fluid. Some of these vesicles
are constantly drying up. while others
are forming.
Among other animals, sheep are sub
ject to thi, ailment. The plant. or its
spores (seeds), may adhere TO the wool
in spite of the washing. and the disease
may be thus communicated to persons
employed in wooden mills. 1t is now
believed that many of the contagious
diseases are due to microscopic
plants. but these do not take root and
grow and ripen their spores unless they
find a cOngenial soil. The cOngenial
soil for ringwO;m S is Il low state OF the
human system. Mill girls are peculiar
" exposed, be aust they are seldom in
vigorous health.
The TingwOrm may be upon the body
or upon the lead. In the latter case
its appearance is different, and it bears
a somewhat different medical name
herpes ~tOnsutunS. The Latter term is
from a Latin word si2nifying to shave.
Yet whether on the body or head. it is
the same disease, and due 10 the same
parasite. On the head it works down to
the hair bulb, and there plants itself.
The hair loses its vitality. and is easily
broken off. The eyebrows and lashes
may wholly drop out. The patches are
circular. They show repuls ve-lOOking
sores, with a red, raw appearance.
Some have a crust-like formation. The
slight discharge from the v~esicles mats
the surrounding hair. Both varieties
are contagious. Children with ring
worms should not be allowed to play
with other children.
DR.. Weir, Professor of Dermatology
in the Philadelphia Medical and Chirur-
gical College, who has been long ex-
p%erimenting on curative applications
for the disease-we repeat it for the
benefit of the medical profession says
