SOMETHING ABOUT BANANAS.

1t is astonishing how little il known OF ban
anaa, considering tic extent to which they are
eaten. New York gets every week an average
OF 80, 900 punches. From Florida Not sin
gle one. Why, Florida only raises enough
bananas for home consumption. All these
yellow ones We get from Central America, prin-
cipslly from Aspinwall. Those big, fat, red
follows are from Cuba. Plantains2 Oh, no,
that's general mistake. Plantains are only
edible when cooked; they arc NOR vegetable
than fruit. You didn't know there were $50
varieties Of bananas, did you? The fruit comes
to MS quite green, but in the summer will rpen
in one or two days. Cool weather compcls us
TO use artificial treatment, and We hang them
in close room and apply heat. Now, that
green bunch will not bo ripo under four days.
With the bananas, we import, duty free, a
good many foreign inhabitants. See that (e1-

THE ySOUpAV CAMPAIGN.
NEWS RECEIVED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

A MEETING OF EGYPTIAN TROOPS PREDICIED-ENG-
LAND AND FRANCE.
LONDON, May 24.-1he PdH Nal Gazette
nOunces under reserve that England has suggested
to the Porte TO send 10000 troops to land at
Suakim march to Khartoum. attack the Mahdi, and
re-establish order in the Soudan and then with
draw with the English garr son, leaving a
"Pachalio" of the Nile depcnde ncics subject to
the Sultan's sovereignty. These statements are
denied as being absurd.
It's an. open secret that the Government has
lately come into possession of some alarming infor
nation regarding the condition of affairs in the
Soudan. Strenuous exertlOns made at the For
egn Office to keep this information from the pub
lie but it Is known that FL MahdTs emissares
actively and successfully engaged in breeding dis
content among the Egyptian soldiers who, with
their British commanders are garrisOnng the
SOudan. Military experts here say that sooner OF
later there is bound to be a wholesale mutiny Of
the Egyptian troops accompanied by massacres OF
the British officers, in the Sepoy rebellion
of 1858, which, like the present rising
in the Soudan, had a quas-TchgOus basis 1t is
estimated that El Mahdis force includes 5000 sol
diers of the Egyptian regular army. Some of these
men were captured after the defeat of Hicks Pacha
and willingly changed their allegiance to El
Mabdi but the greater number have to his
standard in the steady flow of desertons from Che
Soudan gaIrsOns, which have been in progress for
the past seven months
Considerable anxiety has lately been caused by
the accommodating evidences of French jntrigues
tore-estabish her footing in Egypt THERE'S no doubt
that a deeply rooted feeling of jealousy has
existed i'll France since she was supplant ed in
Egypt by Englands bombardnent of Alexandria.
This feeling is potent enough TO all readers of the
Paris papers, which are continually critcisnR. in
an offensive and dictatorial tone. the conditions
of the proposed Egyptian conference These
attacks have caused great Irritation here,
and II would take but little to make a war feeling
popular. II Is believed here that the Frenchmcn.
elated by their success in TOnquin, are ripe for
row. A report is in circulation tonight which
NAV go far toward pTecipitating an AuglO-ETench
