Population Of the soudan.

1t is estimated that there are 10, O00..
600 or 100000 of inhabitants in tho
Egyptian Soudan. which has an area Of
$500, 600 square miles, and comprises
vast amount of fertile land along the
Nile and its tributaries. Three mill
ions of these people are Arabs and
their kindred, while the remaining g.
0oG, 900 are OF the negro racs. All
the Arabs and Moslems, and many Of
the negro tribes have adopted the relig-
ion of Mecca, and are iaitful followers
of the Prophet. The Pagan negroes
have united with the Arabs In the effort
to drive out the Egyptians, and, though
their religions are unlike. they have a
common intessstr i'll Kidding themselves
Of oppression. Most Of the Arab tribes
are Oh the eastern side OF the Nile,
while most OF the negroes are on. the west
ern. Between the Nile and the Red
Sea are the tribes whence come Che men
of Osman Digua's army, now in front
of tle Snakim, while along tho valley
and to tbs pest are the people who
flock to the Matldi's standard. Out OF
population of 12,000, 900 of people,
animated by religious zeal. and saarting
under the esuelties of their recent mas
ters, it is easily possible for the Mahdi
to reise IN army OF 206.tr men. The
wonder is not that Khartoum ie!l SO
soon, but that II was able to hold out
SO long. The theory is certainly very
plausible that the Mahdi could have
captured it long ago II he wished, but
he refrained from doing SO until the
British army had come too far into the
Soeasr to be able to retreat.

Climate of England.

The first view of England indicates q
warm and agreeable climate. Yet all
that part of Europe is almost directly
opposite a coast Of perpetual ice, and
the wonder is we find tile country with
any climate other than perpetual win
ter. 1t is due to the warmth and
moisture which the gulf stream brings
that the climate is cndurable. Charles
II. once said that Il man can be out of
doors more days in the year in Eng
land than in any other country on the
globe. The frost rarely penetrates
more than an inch or two. Water is
drawn from pipes out of doors all the
year round. This climate is conducive
to the beauty OF the country, the
beauty of serene cultivated fields,
lovely lanes, shaded by enormous trees,
hedeerowed fields. a turf as glossy and
thick as anything possible ON earth,
and u wealth OF Wild flowers that be-
gin in the earliest spring and last all
the year. And then the residences.
the vine-embowed, rose-smotheredc cot
tagc, the houses of the Tudors and the
castles hoary with age; and the rivers,
not such as cities are built on, with
mills and lumber and logs, but like
the Avon. That is the beauty of the
English landscape,

A Large Load Of Logo.

Some time ago Harper's Weekly drew
some unfavorable comment to itself by
a cut purporting to represent load Of
fourteen logs loaded in one of the Wis
consin timber camps. It was said by
the untraveled fastener, who had been
taught that one log was q big load for .
team, that no team could stir such .
load, even if it could be made up. ThS
present issue Of the Weekly indicates
its former statement. In half.psRe
cut of Michigan lumber scenery. il gives
o load of twenty logs with the driver
perched on the top Of the pile, appar-
emily on level with the surrounding
tree tops. The letter which &C.
companies the photograph ssem which
the illustration was taken states that the
load was made UP in one Of the n1imnseree
Gus camps of the Gratwick, Smith &
Fryer Lumber Company Of Tonawauds.
The logs were sixteen feet long and seal.

Sententious Preaching.

Here are some of the sententious
sayings of Rev. Samuel Jones, an un-
edpe|atasd Georgian who is conducting
an extraordinary revivalat Nashville,
Tenn: "What is culture worth if it's
nothin' but whitewash on a rascal?
I'd rather he in Heaven lenrnin' my A
B C's than in hell reading Greek"
"Some preachers are so elegant that
they speak of hell as the burnt dis
trict, but this sort of dignity is the
starch OF Il shroud." "Heaven is on
dead level with every good man, and
every good man will be provided for in
some way" "Willhoncst men starve?
God will feed an honest man ii he has
to put the angels OH hall rations. q
"Be honest and pay your debts.
There's too many men in the church
boarding with their wives" "Pull up

On the morning of January %, 1875,
the City of Mexico was startled by the
announcement that a murder, the
most brutal and fiendish that

was woman who, when alive, was Of
SURPRISING beauty. She had arrived at
the house where the murder had been
committed on the day before, and was
accompanied by handsome gentleman,
who introduced her as his wife. He
had been seen to leave the house about
10 o'clock the same night, and that was
the last ever heard of him. The follow

tered n side door leading to the apart

gaze froze the blood in her veins. She
gave the alarm and the police were i'm.
mediately notified. The woman lay
cross. wise on the bed with only her
chemise upon her, and her head, which
hung by few sinews to her body, was
within few inches of the floor. "Black
Pedro's" friend, of the detective force
Of Vera Cruz, and the one who pointed
out the widow of Senior La Barrier in
the theatre to Pedro, recognized in the
murdered woman the one and the same
person. Her murderer was never appre-

quest was held the body was buried in
the public graveyard, frightful ex-

Whore the Scorpion Gets His
fyysrsz. ENfanu

When he strikes you with the end of
his tail, like q wasp, he exudes ven
omous liquid, and q man might better
hold q red-hot iron in his hand than
to get tenth part of a drop of this
liquid into his blood. It is not neces-
sarily fatal, particularly in the Bahia
mas; but it condenses the heat offorty
furnaces. In some parts of South
America scorpion bites are frequently
fatal, but have not heard Of any one
having been killed by them in Nassau.
This is easily accounted for. The
scorpion likes to feed on decayed wood.
In South America, where dye-woods
and other poisonous woods abound,
the scorpion feeds upon them, and
thus work into themselves q good sup
ply of outside poison, which, taken to-
gether with his naturally poisonous
liquid, does its work for whoever is
unfortunate enough to bestung. But,
in Nassau, such poisonous woods are
few, and the scorpions have to fatten
themselves respectfully on pine, cedar
and mahogany.-From q Nassau Let
