A GREEK merchant, who claims to have
been in Khartoum when it fell to the Mahdis
troops, gives picturesquely vivid account of
the sacking of the place, and of the assassina-
tons which followed According to this
story, Gordon was shot in an upper room
while reading his Bible, his head cut off and
taken to the Prophet. while his body was cut
into pieces. We have no more idea that this
narrative is true in detail than have been the
others which affected to give the particulars Of
Gordons murder; but if may be accepted as
additional and confirmatory evidence that he
was promptly killed when the Egyptian rebels
secured control of the Soudanese capital, and
stories Of escape of the distinguished pris-
oner.
1t is also to be said that the publication of
Gordon's diaries is already beginning to have
the effect of creating revolution of feeling in
favor of Mr.. Gladstone and his government in
their treatment of the Egyptian problem.
The diaries give evidence that when he start
ed from London Gordon did not intend to
obey the orders of the government, only so
far as he pleased, and that his whole course
while in Egypt was dictated by his super
natural vanity and egotism for the results of
which Mr.. Gladstone cannot be justly held
responsible. The responsibility of the gov
eminent was for the sending of man into
that country who believed he could compose
the troubles by means of highsounding
proclamations, and by Alterations of re-
ligious superstition even more bizarre than
that Of the Mahdi himself and who thought he
could subdue the ferceness of the fanatical
spirit Of the Egyptians through the machina-
tons ola consecrated stick. There has been no
such specimen Of an i'll balanced crank since the
days of the crusades, and Gordons spectacular
performance in the Soudan ended much as
did the crusades.

TRAMPs and beggars are little less frequent in
their annoying and sometimes plundering visits
to city residences than they were ten years ago.
They are worse than they were last year. At
some Of the South side residences-that part of
the city seems the most infested in this way-the
applications for something to eat"-once in a
while for a little money, or clothing-will count
about one day the week through all this spring
and summer. One old resident says be has some
times two or three visits in day, and does not
often see two days together without any.

LADIES'.

Nearly all ladies are aware that the Palais
Royal Is noted for variety and cheapness Of
Hand kerchicfs, but our Oldest and most en-
thus astic patrons will be surprised 1--WE sur
prise ourselves) at the endless variety and
the remarkably low prices of the new stock
of fall STYLES In IIandkcrchiefs.
In LINEN HANDKERCHIEFS we come
TO the front with $50 dozen of warranted
pure Linen IIandkerchiefs, with fancy col
Ored hemstitched borders, at l24c each. We
have always kept Handkerchief at 12lc, SO
have our competitors; but never in our his
tory and never in the record of competing
merchants, have there been offered such
styles, such quality, such quantity. This
would be idle talk, and worse than useless
If we could not substantiate what we say
and we are not such fools as not to know IT,
We do know, and we do claim the largest
stock, the most variety, and the best quality
Handkerchief for 12lc In Washington city
Our sheer Linen IIandkerchiefs at lOc are as
good quality as those wei have sold previously
for &c. We have the herring-bone hem
stitched borders in plain white: also colored
borders In quaint Egyptian designs, and
some with wide colored borders in comblna-
ton colors, which are new and pleasing to
the eye, and, being the shcerest linen,
equally pleasing to the nose. For 25c we
surpass ourselves-all previous exhibitions
are nowhere. We have ~ different designs
In borders, and the quality OF linen given is
equal to any IIandkerchiefs heretofore sold
for 30 and 4Sc. One style, particularly strik
ing, is the "Neapolitan," being combine
ton of colors, such as pink and white, blue
and white, ecru and white; each quarter OF
the Handkerchief being a different color.
Another pretty style is n Handkerchief with
big black star or square In the center, and
with hemstltched border to match. We also
have Initial Handkerchiefs, genuine hand
embroidered, for 25c. Space will not admit,
nor will our ability suffice to describe the
wondrous, incomprehensible mathematical,
geometrical, floral, and other styles Of fancy
colored borders, which are shown In our CSC
Handkerchicfs. We forgot to mention plain
white Handkerchief at 25c. We have them
with raised tucked borders, double hem
stitched, dice pattern, and various other
styles OF borders. OF course we have Hand
kerchiefs at 50, 49, GO, 20, Csc, Sl.25, Sl.50,
81 IS, and 81 9S; but, as you see we have no
space for description, however, we can aud
do respectfully request you to inspect our
new stock. Please don't fail to ask to see
our China silk Handkerchiefs at 30c. We
have them in white, pink, blue, and cardinal.
They are u bargain, indeed.
