Moses in the Soudan.

American Hebrew.
The Soudan is none other than the Cush Of the
Bible, which the Septuagint and the Vulgate
render Ethiopia. When Moses had arrived at
mans estate, Egypt was invaded by an Ethiop-
ian army, which successfully laid waste the
country as far as Memphis. In their despair the
Egyptians prayed TO their oracles for aid, and
the advice they received was that they should
offer the leadership of their armies to Moses,
the Hebrew This they did. The great diff
Guilty of the campaign was to traverse the roads
which led to the Ethiopian camp, in consequence
of their being infested with dangerou serpents;
The willy Israelite provided bis advance
guard with a number of ibes in baskets,
and instructed the soldiers to let the
birds loose on the serpents. By this ingenious
expedient the roads were speedily cleared and
Moses was enabled to surprise the Philippians
and defeat them with great slaughter.
Carrying the war into Meroe itself, Moses then
laid siege TO the capital Saba, The obstinate
resistance offered by the defenders prolonged the
siege for some time, but eventually the city was
delivered up by Tharbis, daughter of the Eth
opian King who had watched Moses from a dis
lance, and, from admring his valor, had fallen
in love with him. The story ends happily with
the marriage of Moses and Tharbis.

Much sensational rubbish has been palmed off
on credulous and gullibe editors with regard to
the movements and intentions of Boggan Cash
and his father l have received trustworthy in
formation from Cheraw to the effect that the
two Cashes were seen together near the old
homestead; that last night they slept at a friends
house, five miles from Cheraw. and that early
this morning Boggan mounted his blooded horse
and gallopped toward Pee Dee swamp, where he
is now passing his time. He has made an agree
ment with the sheriff to give himself up on the
eve of the May term Of court--if not molested in
the meantime. Governor Thompson, it is said,
will not take any further steps looking to his

without IN any way lnjuring any other section

does not need revenue basis to support it. IT,
on the other hand, it works injury to the larger

is built should not stand one instant in the way
of its complete demolition

''One last word about the civilselvice reform
business. What do you think of it!'
81 haven't thought very much about it; but it
seems to be great huIrah over a very small
matter Reform of the civil service must com

If the government is corrupt in its members,
the the appointment of young men who know
the navigation of the Congo or the geography of
the Mountains of the Moon as letter carriers
cannot surely reform it. The thing is a small
matter and is not worth all the talk made about
it. When the business men of this country Sc

Friendly Attitude of Logan and Blaine.
Washington Special.
''The more study the situation" said friend
of General Logan, to your correspondent yester-
day, 'the more l am convinced that General
Logan is going to be the nominee at the Chicago
convention"
''How sol7
''Wel l think he will have strong following
to begin with, and will gain more in the conven-
ton than any other candidate. His will be, 1
think, growing strength Take Blaine, for in
stance, he has been in so many fights and UNI
successful that the moment his supporters see
that he is far from having majority, they will
begin to scatter Now l do not think Blaine
can 60 into the convention with more than 300
delegates, and that is considerably more than
one hundred below the number required to NOM
mate him. Blaine and Logan are excellent
friends so much so that they visit each other
often. and are very good terms. My theory
is that when the Blaine people see that their
candidate is one hundred votes short they will
begin to scatter, and most of them will go to
Logan. There is no affection between the
Blaine and Edmunds people, but just the
verse. Blaine does not like Sherman very much
either, and, of course, Blaine's supporters would
not be likely to go over to Arthur OF course,
do not speak by authority, but 1 should not be
serprsed to see Blaine's strength. if it is not
sufficient to nominate him, go over to Logan,
and in the case of Logans nomination and cleo
ton see Blaine Secretary of State again.

Tariff for Revenue Only VIII Not Win.
