The following is an extract from q
letter from General Graham's camp to
the London Daily News:
Next morning at daylight rebel spy
was caught just outside the lines.
There are different versions Of his story,
but that which he has communicated to
an Arab friend of mine, who has helped
me in investigating the matter, is as fol-
lows: One of the two shells thrown by
the Sphinx killed his father. He vowed
to avenge his death, and with the per-
mission of the shiek of his tribe, ne
went forth armed with shield and spear,
across the shadows at midnight. He
was told to take life for life If he could,
but in any case to return with some ac-
count of the number and composition
of the Egyptian force. He was discov-
cred by small party OF Egyp-
tians, some OF whom ned,
while their comrades, looking
at the intruder, fired upon him and re-
tired. Charging with his spear the boy
Che is only sixteen years old wounded
one of his assailants in the hand; but
they were too many for him. Receiving
bayonet wound in the side, another In
the thigh and third on the head, he
was overpowered, and with his hands
tied behind him he was taken into camp
/ saw him shortly after his capture.
He threw himself on the sand. He
wept, not in fright, but in sheer savage
rage. He cursed Baker Pasha, cursed
his OWN captors, cursed the Egyptian
army, spat at the sentries and others
within reach of him, and abused In the
foulest language all their relatives
particularly their sisters, wives, mothers
and grandmothers-even to the re-
hottest generation. "How many have
YOU in your encampment?" was asked,
but Omar-that was the boys name
replied that he would rather have his
tongue cut out than give the information.
The reader well appreciate Omars
courage if he will bear in mind that the
prisoner, naturally Judging from the
practice of the savage life, which Is the
only life he knows, must have expected
not merely death, but torture, as the
sequel, to his obstinacy. He believes
his wounds are mortal, but this alone
does not trouble him much, for he tells
us that Osnlan Digna promised him
comfortable quarters in paradise.
What does trouble him is the prospect
ofentering paradise without the prestige
of a man killer; and the savage young
beast has had the audacity to request,
as personal favor, that before breath
ing his last he should be permitted to
wash his spear in the blood of
some Egyptian ''pig." Then"
said Omar. after a pause, Il shall
die happy" His prayer has not been
granted, and Omar still lives. He
frankly declares that if he survives and
is released he will kill somebody. L
think General Baker rather wastes his
sympathy on this blood-thirsty invalid.
"Poor boy" said the general, in his
kindly way, II am sorry he has been cut
about so. shall be glad if he gets
round; he must be nursed properly.
And I am glad to say no ferccious young
cub has ever been SO soothingly cod
died and cotton-wooled as our tiger-cat
of captive In the hospital tent Omar
has made his first acquaintance with
pure water, cooked food, soft pillow
and white sheets.

1t is announced that Prof. Cyrus Nor
throp of Yale College has accepted the
Presidency of the Minnesota State Uni
versity at Minneapolis. 1t is also unof-
ticially stated that his salary has been
fixed at $4,000 per annum-none too
large, perhaps, if he accomplishes the
work expected of him, which is to put
the University on par with the best
educational institutions in the country.
This is work that cannot be done at
once, nor by one man, but with the CO.
operation and cordial encouragement of
the Legislature and the people it may
be auspicously undertaken.

While there was ample reason at Gin
cinnati for indignation at the escape of
a murderer from the gallows, yet there
would have been no rioting but for the
antiammatory talk of newspapers and
speeches at apublic meeting, The riot
ers went direct from the meeting to
deeds of violence. Men who control
the avenues to the public ear should not
''iose their heads" ON every slight occa-
sion, as many of them do. A careful
reading of the Cincinnati papers for
several days preceding the riot, shows
that mob law was directly excited and
encouraged in their columns.

First shooting at coer D,Alens.

Eagle City Special: The first serious shoot
ing match for weeks occurred here, and for q
time general riot was anticipated Three.
men, who were working on a lot on Eagle
street, just north of the business center, were
ordered off by two others, who claimed to be
the original owners. They refused to leave,
and the enemy went off for their shooting irons
and reinforcements During their absence
the holders of the lot strengthened their posi-
ton by throwing up breastworks, behind which
they announced their intention of holding the
claim at all hazards. When the two parties
came together there was a fusilade which
aroused the town Over fifty shots were fired
than fifty feet, but, owing to the entrenched
position of both parties, no one was seriously
injured, with the exception of bystander, who
was shot in the leg by flying bullet

and especially the recent riots in Cincinnati,
were sufficient warning against the system Of
popular election. Trevelyan, chief secretary
for ireland, declared the system of popular
election could never. be adopted The Irish

Well informed members of Congress
state that while the feeling generally is
strongly in favor Of bankrupt law, it
will hardly be reached in time for pas
sage at this session. As usual an i'm
portant measure of this kind is pushed
to the wall by others of less weight but
more likely to make capital for the dom
inant party. An equitable general
bankrupt law is demanded by the best
interests Of the country as expressed
through Boards of Trade and Chambers
of Commerce, yet it has received little
if any consideration at the hands of our
National law makers.

Volcanic State Of Society in
Mexico.

They tell us that the days of revolu-
tion are over in Mexico, and that the
blessed time has arrived when the
swords are beaten into plowshars. Yet
the very air is quivering with suppressed
excitement and everybody is alert with
uneasiness. That you may understand
what they call "a time of peace, let me
cite few circumstances: There has
not been an actual revolt in this state
for several months, but at the least
symptom of disturbance-sucha as arun-
away horse, or the pursuit of burglar
might cause-people are in a panic, bus
mess places are closed in twinkling of
an eye, doors are double locked and
shutters are clapped up to windows
with an alacrity which could only have
been acquired from frequent practice.
When riot actually does occur, woe to
the luckless pedestrian who hap
pens to be caught upon the
streets. In an instant, before he has
time to realize what it is all about, every
house is securely barricaded and on no
account will be opened till the brief
storm blows over. So he has no recourse
but to take to his heels, and dodge from
corner to corner, amid a shower of stones
or bullets or both, with as much to fear
from the soldiers on one hand as from
the insurgents on the other. A few
days ago, when the ''nickle riot, which
has been breaking out in spots oil over
the body polite, like badly treated
case of measels, reached Zacatecas,
everybody not among the rioters was in
doors and every business house securely
locked before one could say Jack Robin
son. The multitude of small dealers on
the market plaza, who have no doors to
lock, ran away in alright, leaving their
wares entirely unprotected. The result
was that the malcontents fell to steal
ing with such vigor that they forgot to
"revolute," and the trouble subsidized
without shot being red.---Zacatecas

Duel In the Dark.

A terrible shooting ARRAY occurred over .
game of cards at Coles Creek. Columbia
county, Pa, the 3Oth Charles Davis,
Charles Mills, James Roger and Henry
Williams were playing poker. Gradually the
amount grew larger, and at last reached $500
side. Davis and Mills were playing against
Williams and Royner At the conclusion of the
game Williams reached for the stakes, but Roy
ner claimed he had seen Davis cheat, and q
scramble was made for the money. Revolvers
were drawn and the bar-room was emptied OF
the small crowd of spectators which had wit
messed the game A promiscuous firing fol-
lowed, in which the lights were extinguished
The firing lasted several minutes, and the crowd
outside waited with bated breath for it to cease.
Finally there was silence inside. The crowd
surged in and found all four lying on the floor
apparently dead Davis and Mills each had
four bullet holes in their bodies. Roger and
Williams were covered with blood and uncon-
scious IT was found that Roger was shot twice
in the right leg and once in the thigh. His skull
bears the appearance of being fractured VIII
liams received three bullet wounds in his body,
and is undoubtedly fatally wounded Mills and
Davis died Monday. The widest excitement
exists All kinds of rumors were afoat, and
the death of Roger and Williams was announced,
but afterward denied The last accounts are
to the effect that Roger and Williams will re-
cover, although badly injured All four were
considered highly respected citizens, and the
fact of their being shot Sunday night in gam
bling quarrel has shown how strong the gaming
fever ragged. Rogers wife is reported to have
lost her reason over the sad affair.
