On Sunday morning the khedive re.
celVed another telegram from the gov.
ernor of Khartoum giving the detailed
narrative of the camel driver, Ne
hemet Ali, who has been proved to
have accompanied the Soudan expedi-
ton in the service of a Khartoum
sutler. The following is the full text
OF his account: Shortly after leaving
Duem the Egyptian troops enroun-
tered the rebels and skirmishes took
place, resulting in the loss to the
Egyptians Of few Bashi-Bazouks.
We then proceeded to Rahat, and
after replenishing our supply of water,
marched thence in the direction of
Aloba, encountering on the way a
large body of rebels, whom we routed.
Contrary to orders received at
Alloba, we entered a neighboring
forest Oh the following day.
through which we marched for
three hours when we were surprised
by the enemy in large number, but
we formed square and after severe
lighting completely defeated them.
We passed the night on the battle
field, and on the following day, Satur-
day, November 3, continued our
march. The supply of water was
soon exhaused. We shortly again
fell in with considerable force of the
enemy and severe fight ensued
which again resulted in our favor.
That night also we passed on the
field of battle, and on November 4th
marched in the direction of Kashgill,
but were surprised en- route by the
enemy, who opened a strong fire
upon us. The battle continued
all that day and during the night
till November the 9Th. The
Egyptian troops fought well; bnt the
men suffered greatly from thirst.
AT the conclusion of the engagement,
theEgyptian troops proceeded through
a forest in the direction of some wells;
but after marching for half an hour
were again surprised and surrounded
on all sides, the enemy directing a |
heavy fire upon US, to which we re-
Piled by brisk fuSilade. At noon

PALESTINE, Jan. 1.-the question rs to
whether n policeman has the right to shoot all
escaping prisoner Will soon he judicially tested
here. Two weeks since two men bearing the
appearance OF cowboys were passing through
Palestine in charge of drove of mules. They
eamped for the night just outside of town and
came In during the evening To take in the
sights. They got into some trouble in a noto-
rous der, and commencing to flourish their
pistols; they were arrested. On their way to
the calaboose one of them named Turner
jerlxed away from the officer and ran through
the darkness towards the railroad, near the
Immigrants Home. The policeman fired at
him, the third shot taking effect IN his thigh,
breaking his leg. He was n cked up and
carried to a hotel near by, and a physician
summoned to attend him. 1t was found that
he was very seriously hurt, and that far from
being the lawless character he was supposed
he was young man of good character and of

boarding house owned by Patrick Heating on
Oak street, two blocks west of the Catholic
church. The building was long, low frame

The suit Of the Kendall bank note
company of New York, against the
Virginia sinking fund commissioners
ended in Richmond on Saturday, with
verdict for the plaintiffs for $4,000
the full amount claimed, and interest
The action was for breach of contract
for printing the Riddleherger bonds
George K. Kendall, president of the
company, secured the contract, but il
was annulled and another made with
the American bank note company
One of the grounds for this action
was that Mr.. Kendall had attempted
to bride member of the state board
of sinking fund commissioners and
another that the Kendall bank note
company had failed to deliver the
bonds in the time specified. Mr.. Ken
dali was arrested on the charge of
bribery, but was acquitted. 1t was
proved in the trial just closed, that
the delay was caused by Gen. Ma.
homes refusing to allow his picture t.
go upon the bonds after the plates
had been made.

Venice end ner GLASS Bead INDUSTRY.

q
Beads are largely made in Venice,
where glass-making has always been
q principal industry. lt is said that
the invention Of beads dates from the
thirteenth century, and is due to two
Venetians-Miotti and Imbriani-
who were urged to make the expert
ment by the celebrated Venetian
traveller, Marco Polo. Under the
Venetian Republic, and for some
years after its fall, SAYS our consul at
Venice, the expectation of beads had
not reduced the Importance it has
now attained. This was, perhaps, ow-
ing to the smallneSS of the
furnaces and to the difficulty and
length of the technical processes re-
quired for the composition of the
paste. The Morelli, however, who in
1876 were the principal bead manu-
facturers, had four ships at sea carry
ing beads to the East on their own ac-
count, and they became so rich that
they entered the ranks of the Vene-
ttan nobility on paying the sum of
10000 ducats to the republic. Since
1916 this industry has become so i'm
, portant as to give at the present time
employment to 1900 persons. The
traffic is carried on with all the
world, but the principal exporta-
ton of beads is to the ports of
Asia and Africa. An extraordinary
stimulus was given to this industry a
few years ago by the prevailing taste
for beads for trimming ladies' dresses.
A great extension OF the manufacture
took place, and the labor was paid so
high that all who could do so gave up
their usual trades for Matchmaking.
But when the demand for beads de-
clined, most of the workmen who
had been allured by fancy wages
to the bead manufacture
were thrown out of work. and
compelled to return to their former
occupations. Whatever be the cause,
bead making has always been the spe.
cial privilege Of Venice in spite of all
foreign attempts to manufacture the
article elsewhere. The wages in glass
works are for q first master about s
francs day. for second master AZ
francs, and for the ordinary men from
francs to francs a day. During the
last five years the average annual ex-
portation of beads has been $4,000
quintals, of the approximate value of
$500, 900 francs,-Scientiic American.

How to Tell a Cows Age.

To tell a cows age by her horns
count three for the tip down to the
rings, and one year each for the mos
prominent rings, emitting the little
ones. Some cow jockeys file these
rings down smooth with the horn tt
make the cow look younger than she
is, and thus deceive the raw purchaser
but the practiced hand can generally
tell better after the filing Is done
as the rings are pictured on the
horn. The teeth are also indi
Gators Of age, but, like the horns
there are conditions under which
they are misleading. Cows that are
bred young or are vicious by nature
usually produce abnormal growths OF
horn while those that live on sandy
soil crop close and wear their teeth
down. 70 our own taste the best test
is the general appearance of the cow
especially the eye. In animals, either
well kept or young, these is fresh
ness about their looks that proves
them either young in fact or young in
labor, and SO far as actual usefulness
is concerned it is immaterial which,

who testified to his peculiarities since boy

fathers death. James Wells, his I'M lie, stated
that Capt. Nuts full sister Mary and brother
George were mentally unsound, and placed in
charge OF commission appointed by the court
two other brothers are deaf mutes; James was
always dull. James Junk was with defendant

the facts brought out i'll the evidence, was read

stated, Mutt was insane when he killed Dukes

of uncomfortable impulse, which might exist
in any person without being mantle, ted before
or after an act, which led TO its positive discov-

Queen VictOria's ParsimOny.

The queen for nearly a quarter of a
century has never occupied BuckinQ.
ham Palace for more than six DAYS IN
each year. 1t cost an enormous
amount to build and several thousands
ar yearly expended on its mainte.
nance. 1t is sumptuously furnished
in every part and contains miles of
fine pictures, and there it stands year
after year, nobody ever entering in it.
except on four afternoons when draw
ing-rooms are held and OF four eve
mugs when state balls or concerts are
given. 1t ought to be understood
that this palace should be open to
royal visitors of high rank or it should
be converted into a hospital or muse
UNI. The vast sum which the queen
receives every year from the country
is not given to be boarded up, but is
intended to maintain the state and
dignity of the crown. The English
court has gradually acquired a most
unpleasant reputation abroad for ex-
IRENE parsimony, and one WouId
think that instead of the civil iist
charges amounting to over EDO. 900 a
year. the queen was only in receipt of
a tenth of that amount.
