ter marched his men from the northwest
down to the capital city. While the
men were halted on the opposite bank
OF the river Gunfer went over into the
town, and while there became acquainted
with several young ladies. In the
presence OF these young ladies he de.

he told them 20 stand upon the hotel

they passed.
s'Now, boys, said Gunter, when he
had gone back 20 his men, s'when you
cross over want you to march just as
gracefully as you possibly can. A party

before arriving opposite the hotel on the

of the officers said

The word was passed along. Gunter
took of his hat, waved 1t and ex-
claimed

The men were marching in the most
zig-zag and slatternly manner. No one
cheered. Gunter ssducked" his head.
Shortly after the soldiers passed the
hotel yellow dog ran into the street.
Then the men yelled. Gunter raved.
Standing up ia his stirrups he ex.
claimed

Never afterward did Gunter place SO

CURIOUS KHARTOUM

One Of the staple industries OF Khar-

boat building, the vessels constructed be-
ing for the most part long, open boats for
the navigation Of the Nile-usualIy
built OF palm wood, but deprecated by
Mr.. Nelly as very clumsy ccntrivances.
The principal portion Of the trade OF
the inhabitants consisted, however, In the
the bounteous produce Of their gardens
and their fields. The bazaars consist
Of four covered and four uncovered
streets; the former rejoicing IN the
finest shops, filed with articles Of mer-
changise Of various character. among
which figured Manchester prints, Shelf
field knives and scissors on cards. and
Staffordshire pottery ware. The I'M
covered streets were mostly booths, ia
which were sold SIENNA, lichens, and va
rious herbs and grasses The merchants OF
the place exported gum arabic, gals,
SIENNA, castor oil, and large quantities
Of ivory on camels to Kerosko, after
conveying them down the Nile to
Berber.
The lower class Of people contented
themselves with one wife each, who
usually rewarded her faithful spouse with
many children. The higher class we're

little before the commencement Of the
showers, he must remain at his friends

quit his dwelling during the rains, and
the town therefore must possess much
