The new charges against Gen Swain,
referred to in eur dispatches to-day. arc
preferred against him by Lieut. Col
BAtchelder. depot q~uartermaster, Wash
ington. d. c. These charges we're pre-
fercd against Swain a month ago., and
will be tried by the same court martial
which tried the first case. These charges
were not made public in order to avoid
prejudicing his case when tried.
Gen SWAIN was privately notified that
he would be tired on these charges. but
the members Of the court were moi in
formed that such had been preferred
until they had concluded the case on
trial.
The new charges are brought under thu
sixtiefh and sixty-frst articles Of war and
allege fraud and conduct unbecoming an
officer and gentleman. Tho specification
upon which the charges are based sci

Marine ice was formerly regarded as
formed Of solidihed pure watar retaining by
mechanical adhesion traces Of tho saline

energetic pressure, when acids and bases
would b found In the residue Of desiccntion

other ways, but 1t gains In interest what IL

The city Of Khartoum. rendered famous
by recent events in Egypt, lies on a plain
near the point where the White Nile and
the Blue Nile unite. The resident D
lation is generally estimated at from So
600 to $1,000 souls, Of which two-thirds
are slaves There is also a floating popu-
lation, estimated at from 1900 to 1000
souls, and consisting Of Europeans, Syr-
ians, Copts. Turks, Albanians and a few
Jews. The free resident population are
mostly Mnkhass, or aborigines; Dongola-
wees, from Dongola; ~Shaghiyes, from a
district along the Nile, north Of Khar-
toum and Rubatat, a district north Of
Berber. The slaves belong mostly to the
Nubo, Dinka, Shulook, Berta and other
negro tribes. Both the free population
and tho slaves are Mohammedans Of the
Maliki school Of divinity, and are also fol-
lowers either Of the Rufai, Kadi, Hamdi
or Saadi sect of dervishes. They are very
supertitious. The political creed is to
side with whichever side is the strongest.
The free inhabitants are mostly engaged
in trade or commerce, and the slaves in
agriculture, or else hired out as daily
laborers by their masters.

In a little attic room in west Philadelphia
lives a diminutive native Of Syria, Jacob
Halini by name, who endeavos TO obtain
his very scanty living by manufacturing all
sorts OF beautiful tswolry, both OF ancient
and modern Syrian design. He Is a native
Of Beirut, Syria. His only languages are
Arabic. Turkish, and Attic French, and his
private history is most rsmarkabis.
In one corner Of tho LITTLE room stands his
workbench; In another his boxes filed with
curious treasures brought from tho far east,
over which he spreads his bod at night; in
another his little forge and HIS apparatus for
drawing out tho silver and gold wire, all
made by himself, and Of neat and accurate
workmanship As n reporter entered the

through these holes In succession n wire Is
obtained finally as small as a thread. or

what was going on. He said the recent
doinRs in London were satisfactory, bui
that all the talk that was made public
there about dynamiten' plots was in
tended to throw people Of the track. The
next buildings to be blown up were the
Saudhurst Military college, the Carlton
club, Woolwich' arsenal, and the bank Of
England. The idea in blowing up the
Carlton club was to get at the members Of
parliament. who meet there in large num-
ben- Aher that. when things had
quoted down a little. another attempt
would be made on the house Of parlia-

This was enough to show me that what
