From his summer resort by the sea
And with solder and furnace begins the attack,
And lays pipes to become mortgage;

From his clutches will ney er be free.

had shot upon the lake, and were
somewhat surprised to hear him
tell OF killing three ducks with

this time q slim, pointed nosed

"That's nothing very extraor-

"Maybe that's the way you al

marked the hunter.
"Wal. that depends on how l

man.
"Then it does make q differ

hunter, who began to feel that

covered himself, had melted. and

the slim man.

SOUD5NESE RUMORS.

There appears to be no more reason for &C
| ccpting the dispatch sent from Cairo to The
London Telegraph, alleging that Khartoum
fell in May, than any of the other fanciful and
for the most part incredible stories which have
found their way from the SOudan, or have been
invented at Cairo by the swaIming Adventures
and intriguers who cOngregate there. Indeed,
the placing of the capture in the latter part of
May almost Of itself discredits the rumOr since
there is strong ground for believing that Gen
eral Gordon has been heard from since the end
of May, though the English Government has not
given the date of his latest dispatch to the pub
lic The most incredible statement, however,
is that which places the Mahdi at Khartoum.
There is not title of evidence to warrant be-
lief in the possibility of this That the Mahdi
made start in the direction of Khartoum
several months ago may perhaps be admitted
but he encountered opposition almost at the
outset, and the most probable and latest reDor
is to the effect that he abandoned his purpose
because of the movements of the rival Mahdi,
who seems to have doomed up quite formdaby
of late.
That Khartoum may fall before the proposed
autumn expedition can reach 1t IL certainly
possible. At present the Mahdi and his lieuten-
ants have only to contend with their own grade
of military capacity, while they have on their
side an enthusiasm which in protracted
struggle is certain TO tell In their favor. More
over. the course of the English Government
since the Suakm expedition has been calculated
Ia encourage the Mahdi and his followers, who
may well believe that the only serious obstacle
has been Withdrawn from their path. The
present prospect undoubtedly is that England
will have to prevent the invasion of Upper
Egypt under much greater difficulties than
would have attended the crushing of the Mahdi's
power in the Soudan but it does not appear
probable that this will be an immediate ncccs-
sity. OF course there is bare possibility that
the news about the fall of Khartoum is true, but
it is altogether unlikely, and is hardly calculated
TO bcari Gladstone stock in the Parliamentary
market, or to help the Conservatives to recover
from tho numbing effect Of their own chronic
incapacity.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1884-07-05

appreciate the sacred enthusiasm of men who
count it an honor to be imprisoned for the cause
of Democracy. Though he cannot be expected
to rise to their height of sacrificing virtue,
being as yet undecided whether he can help the
Democratic party more than by throwing away
his vote, and inducing others to throw away
their votes, on a scattering ticket, and by re-
bearsing exploded scandals about the Republi-
can candidate, still it would be fitting that he
should acquire some comprehension of the
Democratic spirit. Otherwise he might again
incautiously refer to the most active Democratic
patriots of the sunny South as unworthy per-
sons The law, indeed, might serve them as it
did Hall and Boland-if it were not for the
patriotism of Democratic judges and juries at
the South. But Mr. Curtis should not forget
that they are esteemed as heroes and martyrs
by the great party whose success he now seems
disposed to promote.
