Population Of the Sordan.
It is estimated that there are 10, 90

It is estimated that there are 10, 000,-
900 or 100000 Of inhabitants in the
Egyptian Soudan, which has an area Of
$500. 600 square miles, and comprises
q vast amount OF fertile land along the
Nile and it's tributaries. Three mill
ions OF these people are Arabs and
their kindred, while the remaining g.
100000 are of the negro race. ALI
the Arabs and Moslems, and many OF
the negro tribes have adopted the re1ig-
ion OF Mecca, and are faithful 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 interestr III Kidding themselves
OF oppression. Most Of the Arab tribes
are on 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 the men
of Osman Digna's army, now in front
Of the Suakim, while along the valley
and to the west are the people who
flock to the Mahdi's standard. Out Of
a population Of 100000 of people,
animated by religious zeal, and smarting
under the cruelties Of their recent mas
tiers, it is easily possible for the Mahdi
to raise an army OF 100000 men. The
wonder is not that Khartoun fell so
soon, but that it was able to hold out
so long. The theory is certainly very
plausible that the Mahdi could have
captured it long ago # he wished, but
he refrained from doing so until the
British army had come too far into the
Soudan to be able to retreat.

Carrying Concealed Weapons.

Judge Cothran, in recent charge to
The grand jury at spartanburg, s. c.,
indulged in the following vigorous Ian
guage on the subject Of carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons
Can you imagine any use IN the world
to which pistol can be put except to
take human life? Can you mend a
pillow stock with a pistol? Can you
make hoe helve with q pistol? Can
ycu repair any piece Of your machinery
that is broken with . pistol? Can you
write letters or keep . merchants books
with a pistol? What can you do with
it except to take human life? You CAM
not shoot game with it; you cannot
catch fish with it. For what purpose,
then, Mr.. Foreman, is itcarried? You
know for what it is carried yon know

flowed with blood for the last ten years

while narrating the incidents of the
case. "and Icould not have the sin .of
her blood upon my conscience" -
+ On the morning of january %, 1875,
the City Of Mexico was startled: by the
| announcement that a murder, the
most brutal and fendish that
had ever Redeemed the Grimm
annals OF the dark side Of Mexican
life, had been committed, and that the
victim, q stranger in the community,
was a 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
ing morning servant by mistake, EN-
tered a side door leading to the apart
ment where the murdered woman lay
Oh a bed, and the sight that met her
gaze froze the blood in her veins. She
gave the alarm and TIE police were inn
mediately notified. The woman lay
crOss-wise on the he'd with only her
chenlise 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-
hended, and Immediately after the in
quest was held the body was buried in
the public graveyard, frightful ex-
ample OF the wages Of sin.

Had Got Hold Of the Wrong Man.

MI. S. F. Covington is a student of
ethnology and takes great interest in
Indian relics and old pottery OF all kinds.
His son, Mr.. John I. Covington, is just
the opposite, and pays much more at
tention to the inventions of the present
than he does to those Of the past. Not
long ago stranger came into the office
where the two gentleman were sitting,
and, addressing the younger, asked If
he was Mr., Cov1ngtor. Being told that
he was, the stranger stated that he was
the owner Of some very fine specimens
of Indian pottery and had come to Mr..
Covington to dispose of them. =.
II wouldn't give you dime for seven
teen cart loads OF the rubbish" said the
matter Of fact young man. -.
"You wouldn't? ?" said the stranger.
"No, sir, I would not" emphatically
replied Mr.. Covington. r

be damned fool enough to buy the whole
lot if I would call upon you.

The aesthetics of the Middle Ages.

The Persians early acquired repute
as people Of taste, invention and
artistic skill. The finest silks, the
richest velvets, the costliest brocades,
the softest and rarest carpets and the
most splendid tissues were of Persian
origin, The art newly discovered in
America and Europe, how to combine
great variety of colors with perfect
harmony, and to deli ht the eye with
soft and pleasing gradations, produce
ing a rich composite effect from the
simplest elements, was original with
the Persians centuries ago. The very
figures Of floor cloth on which the Shah
Mahmoud walked in the tenth century.
the shawl patterns that adorned the
heroines of Jamind of Hauz are imitat-
ed in the looms of England and the
United States to-day. In architecture
and fine arts, as in the decorative art,
the Persians of the middle ages achiev-
ed notable success. NORTH -4nae''ica7s

Lark hair, among the ancicnts, was

light brown, evidence Of great sus-
ceptibility to the tender passion, as

The physician says nothing, goes away
without any Instructions and leaves
two of US to watch the night through.
The condition of the sufferer re-
mains unchanged. He is all the time
conscious and rational. The priest
comes, the wife enters, and we. the
watchers, step from the room. When
the voice of the priest is raised in
prayer the dying man becomes COM
posed and peaceful. The violent
struggling ceases, the paroxysms and
commissions come no more, and l in
voluntarily looked through the win
dow expecting to see that death had
come. Full fifteen minutes pass, and
when the prayer is ended the hydro
phobic victim gently takes his wife's
hand, draws her to him, kisses her

acting of Miss Belle Douglass in the cellar

Grand Opening Of the New skating Rink
Last Night.
The Mikado skating rink was opened
under the most favorable auspices last
night. A large crowd was present. and the
floor was crowded with skaters. The dec
orations. which have been spoken of before
in these columns, showed up well in the
electric light. The Big Six band furnished
the music. Mr. Edgar Williams gave a
very entertaining exhibition of his remark
able mastery Of the rollers, after which he
appearei on the floor dressed as young
lady. The floor is very fine one. The
opening was a success in every way. and
far exceeded the most sangune expectations
of the management. The people who at
tended the opening were from Springhelds
best society. The management Will
make il a point not To allow any one IN who
is at all objectionable, and in this way the
good reputation of the rink will be kept up.
Taken altogether. the opening was very
auspicious one. and it looks very much as
if the craze of four years ago will once
more lie resumed. Nearly seven hundred
neople were IN the building.
