Climate OF the Soudan.
from the Pail Mall Gazette.


We published few days ago an interview
with Sir Henry Green on the subject Of the
employment of Indian sepoys in the Sou
dan. The following remarks by Sir Henry
upon climatic influences, which we had not
space to print then, may be Of interest
now:
"And what about the climate, Sir Henry?"
said our representative. We'll those who
have been in Scinde are not likely to be
scared by the Soudan. AS spent most Of
my Ii q in those baking deserts, / can not
share the alarm expressed by many concern
ing the prospects of n summer in the Sou
dan. IN Scinde we have heat SO terrible
that sometimes you may see horses roll
over with sunstroke in all direc-
tons, but / have very seldom seen
any European down with sunstroke The
cause is the excessive dryness of the heat
When the air is 80 dry you perspire pro-
fusely, and the perspiration saves your life.
When the atmosphere is damp, the per-
spiration is checked, and after sunset men
die like rotten sheep of heat-apoplexy. In
the Persian campaign we camped out from
October to October near Peshawur, one Of
the hottest places you can find in all Asia.
and our sick was only per cent; while on
board the ships in the roads it was almost
impossible to live. Dry heat can be borne
to almost any extent with comparative i'm
punity. / have seen French regiments
come in from the desert with nothing on
their heads but kepis, under blazing sun
which would have decimated the ranks
had there been the least humidity in the
atmosphere.
AS regards the making of the railway
between Suakin and Berber, that railway
would probably have been made long ago
but for Lord Granville. Everything was
arranged; the Duke of Teck was to be the
Chairman: we had a very powerful and in
fuential directorate. A financial house had
agreed to raise all the money that was need
ed, the Egyptian Government was to guar
antee per cent, the whole work was COM
pleted on paper, when it was suddenly
brought to nothing by the antpathy OF the
Pashas of Ca TO to any scheme which di-
verted the Soudan traffic from the Nile to
the Red Sea- You have taken away half
our trade by making the canal, they said,
and now you want to take away the rest by
your railway The scheme was stifed; but
one word from the Government would have
secured its execution. That word Lord
Granville emphatically refused to say.
The Soudan lay altogether beyond the
sphere Of our interests. they said. So the
milway was never commenced, with results
which you know only too well. / naturally
disbeheve the stories as TO the necessity for
running through tubular tunnels on account
of the sand-storms and moving sand hills.

MAKING GIRLS STRAIGHT.

The Hindoo girls are gracefully and ex-
quisitely formed. From their earliest
childhood they are accustomed to carry
burdens on their heads. The water for
family use is always brought by this way.
The exercise is said to strengthen the mus
cles of the back, while the chest is thrown
forward. No crooked backs are seen in
Hindoostan. DIR. H. Spray says this exer-
else of carrying small vessels of water on
the head might be advantageously intro
duced into boarding schools and private
families and that it might entirely super
sede the present machinery of dumb-bells,
ck-boards skipping-ropes, etc. The
young ladies ought to be taught to carry
the jar as the Hindoo women do, without
ever touching it with their hands. The
same practice of carrying water leads pre-
cisely to the same results in the South Of
Italy as in India. A Neapolitan female
peasant will carry on her head vessel full
of water 10 the brim over a rough road and
not spill drop of it, and the acquisition OF
this art or knack gives her the same elastic
gait.

INDIAN CRUELTY.

In Nebraska there is little stream called
the Raw Hide, flowing into the Elkhorn
River, tributary to the great Platte. The
Raw Hide is an ordinary creek, meandering
through beautiful valley, but it is inter-
esting because Of the terrible association
frpm which it derived its name.
a In the year 1s49, during the heavy emf
grafton to the California gold fields, . party
from Wisconsin crossed the Missouri River
. few miles above where Omaha now
stands. They were bound for the Pacific
coast in quest of gold. A member of this
party named Rhines, foolish, heartless
man, vowed he would STAY the first Indian
he should meet.
Shortly after they had entered Nebraska
they camped on the Elkhorn. The next
morning they broke camp, and passing into
the enchanting valley of the Platte, saw q
little band of Pawnee Indians trailing
peacefully along the river.
One of the gold seekers reminded Rhinei
of his foolish resolution. Tho hesrtless
man, leveling his rife, deliberately shoi
down squaw. The party hastily moved
on, but were soon overtaken by large
band of mounted Pawnee warriors. They
demanded the surrender of the assassin
| Rhines.
OF course there was no alternative but t.
comply, for refusal would have resulted il
the massacre of the entire party.
The redskins took Rhines stripped hin
of his clothing, and tied him securely to tn,
ground. Then they began the horrifyinl
torture of skinning him alive. His com
panions were compelled to witness the sick
ening operation.
The Indians promptly left the scene
after having completed their horrible work
without harming the rest of the party
Rhines lived but few hours, and all wer
thankful when death relieved the agony h
suffered. He was buried near the littl
stream which has since been known as tn
Raw Hide-a meandering monument of tn
wicked and foolhardy act which cost
heartless man his life.
