the grave yard is almost neglected-no per-
sons burying their dead in it. The old
church in the town of Ahoghil is no longer
used as place of whorship. Behind it is
the graveyard in which sleeps the dust of
the McDills, the Moffatts, the Gettys, the
Browns, the Wylies, and the ancestors of
many others in Chester, York, Fairfield and
Lancaster counties, and is now neglected.
These old churches in ruin is accounted
for by two facts. The first is the population
of Ireland is constantly decreasing, and the
second is there was, during the last half
century, union of two religious denomi-
nations. These old ruins, like Ireland's old
castles, have each an interesting and an in
structive history. In them were baptized
the men and women who came to America
during and Immediately preceding the Rev
olutionary war, and who gave direction
to the deeds of that eventful period. 1t was
around those old dingy walls that the heroes
of Kings Mountain and the Cowpens learn
ed in childhood to fear God and hate op-
preston.

GEN. CHARLES GEORGE GORDON.
General Charles George Gordon, better
known as "Chinese Gordon" made himself
one of the conspicuous figures in the affairs
of the nineteenth century. He was decend-
ed from a fighting family-hs ancestors for
one hundred and fifty years back having
almost without exception served in the
British army.
Gen. Gordon was educated at Taunton
and at the Woolwich Academy, and his
first service after leaving the latter place,
was as lieutenant of engineers. He was
ordered to the Crimea in 1854, and there
distinguished himself for his work in the
trenches before Sebastopal.. In 1856 he was
appointed assistant commissioner and sent
to Bessasabia to settle the disputes about the
boundaries of Russia and Turkey. In 1860
he went to China, and was present at the
sacking of the Summer Palace in Pekin, on
October 18th of that year. He took prom
inent part in the Ta-Ping rebellion and
thereby gained the subriquet of "Chinese." ."
He took charge of the "Ever Victorious
Armyn and was made Il Mandarin, in 1868.
He succeeded in subduing the rebels, after
the suicide of their leader, who termed HIM

leaving China, he was overwhelmed with
testimonials of esteem from business men
and officials On his arrival in England his
company was eagerly sought for, but he
disc0untenanced all adulation.
In 1863 he was made Commanding Royal
Engineer at Gravesend, remaining there
until 1871, when he was sent to the Danube
commission.
In 1873 he entered the service of the
Khedive of Egypt and was made Governor
of the Upper tribes. In 1876 ne returned to
London. In 1877 he was made Governor
General of the Soudan, and was installed on
the 5th of May of the same year. In 1879
he resigned and returned to England. In
1880 he accepted the position Of private Sc
retary to Lord RopOn, but soon after re-
signed. He went to China and was effectu-
al in preventing war with Russia.
When El Mahdi proclaimed himself to be
the true prophet, he was sent to the Soudan
to counteract his influence. Gen. Gordon
was besieged in Kartoum by the forces
under FL Mahdi and on the 2lst of January
was killed in the engagement. Even to
this date the true account of the fall of kar-
toum has never been given to the world,
the English war Office, for some reason,
withholding the facts; but enough is known
to render it reasonably certain that the al
lies under Gordon were defeated, and their
illustrious commander killed, particulars
of which we have heretofore published.

PRESIDENT JACKsON's DEATH-BED.-
President Jackson was for thirtyone years
a diseased man, and the latter part OF his
life was spent in almost continuous pain.
Even on his death-bed he was tortured by
oftice-seekers. 81 am dying" said he, "as
fast as l can, and they know it; but they
keep swarming about mein crowds, seeking
for office intriguing for Office" His death.

an hour before his death his children and
friends were standing around his bedside,
and his adopted son, Andrew, had taken
his hand and whispered in his ear:
"Father how do you feel" Do you know
me ?"
"Know you? Yes, 1 should know you
all if l could see. Bring me my specta-

These were brought and put on him, and
he said: "Where is my daughter and Ma

At this all burst into tears, and the Gen

These were Jackson's last words. a short

When the English diplomats outstripped
their French brethren in the Egyptian ques-
ton, there was force which they did not
take into consideration. The antipathy OF
the Moslem to the Christian has proved a
barrier to conquest in the East. 1t is true
that considerable districts of the Mohame-
dan empire have been annexed by foreign
powers, notably Russia, but it has been ac-
complished only at great cost and after pro-

perfect demon. TO him death upon the
battlefield is glory. Yet the improved ac-
coutrements Of the Europeans, and their
splendid discipline, generally make short
work of the unframed forces OF the fanatics.
1t is only when leader of more than usual
magnitude springs up that their uprisings
assume serious proportions.
Ell Mahdi, of whom we present an admir-
able portrait, is such leader, although a
fanatic Of the worst type. He spent months

the movement, and together they formed ar

Ell Mahdi sending emissaries among the
Egyptian troops, composed of native sol,

and many joined his forces. Those chiefs
