K0rti, Dec. 3l.-Natiye servants
refuse to accompany Gen. Stew
arts column, but are willing TO ae-
company Gen. Earles. This shows
the opinion Of the natives relative
to the dangers Of the expeditions.
II is feared that in case Of a sud
den attack the Obstinacy Of the
camels viii be source OF danger.
The columns will be arranged in
forms Of squares ifattaeked. Gen.
Stewart, with mounted infantry
and unloaded eamels, is expected
back in ten days, when Gen. Lord
WOlseley, with the main body of
the expedition, viii advance to-
ward Shendy.
The march of the English expe-
ditiOn past this place was an inn
posing sight. The column was
nearly 100 yards wide and a mile
long. The Hussars we're sent
ahead to prepare tea, but took the
wrong path. Aftera march of ten
miles they halted for an hours
rest. The men, although compelled
TO go without tea, bore up manful-
ly. The small supply of water ear
ried was too precious to admit of
other tea being prepared. The
march was resumed by moonlight.
The troops hope TO reach the first
wells by 8 o'clock in the morning.
1t is believed that the Hussars
awaited the coming up of other
troops at points several miles too
TAR to the westward.
Cairo, Dec. 30.-Gen. Herbert
Stewart will advance from Korti
10 Gakdul to-day with his forces
disposed in the following order:

THE Cincinnati Enquirer says: The term
"Chicagoed,n as applied to a contest in which
one or the other of baseball teams plays nine
innings without making run, came into ex-
istence shortly after the famous tour of the
Cincinnati Red Stockings in 1869 At that
time there was great spirit OF rivalry be-
tween Cincinnati aud Chicago, and the
Windy City was jealous of the baseball lau-
rels of the Queen City, and determined, if
possible, to rob it of them. They organized
for the purpose the strongest professional
team that they could rake and scrape to-
getber, and announced that they had world
beater. Almost the first team. that the Windy
City crew tackled was the famous Mutual
club of New York. The Gothamites shut
them out nine successive innings, and as IL
Wa the first time such feat had been ac-
conphshed it was at once dubbed by all the
papers as "Chicagoed,n and by this term MI
such contests have been known.

A BabY's Tears.

think there is no sadder sight on
earth than the tears of baby. To see
the little round face that looks as if it
were only made for laughing, all twisted
up in q snarl of FUCKERS, the bright eyes
squinted out of sight, and great, real
tears coursing down the pudgy checks,
is enough to make a stole weep in SYM
pathy. 1t is as if the man in the moon
were crying. KNEW an English father,
who, whenever one of his babes-and
there was a host of them-cried, would
say in tones of comical distress, "he'd
rather see a tive-pun note than one of
those tears, any day" and it seemed to
those little ones to be the height of de-
votion and self denial on his part.
Mrs. Paddock, writer of Salt Lake
City, tells a pathetic story Of a broken
hearted wife whose first baby never
cried aloud but wept in silence all the
time. Sleeping or waking the tears
flowed from its eyes and in a few weeks
it died, its mother said of broken
heart. 1t had shed all the tears its
mother had repressed before its birth,
and its weeping face was a symbol of
the face of Utah. In antithesis to these
sad facts is memory we nearly all can
coniure up of some fat, rascally baby
who would cry and cry and cry until
every member of the family was enlisted
IN his cause, when he would suddenly
unbutton his eyes and lol not tear
would be there. 1t had been a crocodile
bawl of the driest grief -DetrOt Free

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.

as much, and running more than four
times as long as an iron wheel.

A new alimentary substance, the seeds
of the Bolivian cotton tree, has attracted
the attention of the Academic des sci
ences. 1t is rich in nitrogenized sub
stances, and contains twcnty-three per
cent. of fibrinc and six of casein. M.
SAGE thought that flour from the seed
would be very suitable for pastry and
sweets. 1t is likely to be used in sugar
making as a substitute for carbonic acid.
Still another wonderful use has been
found for electricity. Recently electrodes
connected with n dynamo of the power
of forty ordinary Daniel cells were put
into forty five gallons of fresh milk, and

The largest deposits of salt on the
Pacific coast are found in Nevada, ac-
cording to the Scientific american. The
most remarkable OF these deposits is that
on the Rio Nirgen, few miles north of
the Colorado river, in the extreme south
ern corner Of that State. A formation
occurs at this point consisting of rock
salt, resting on, and to some extent in
termiXed with, a sedimentary granite,
and OF such magnitude that it may be
said to constitute notable portion of
the mountain itself.
The hand carving of wood for house
finish and interior decoration is becoming
a distinct and permanent branch of in
dustry. For fine furniture the carving
OF wood has for a long time had a
place, but there appears to be a prospect
that to the joiner's shop and work will
be added those of the carver as means
of finishing interiors. Foreign workmen
at present comprise the larger part Of
the workers in this industry, but the at
tention of native workers has been di-
rected to it, with the result of bringing
it into general notice.

B|L|OUSNESS.

Bilious symptoms invariably arise
from Indigestion, such as furred
tongue, vomiting of bile, giddi-
ness, sick headache, Irregular
bowels. The liver secretes the
bile and acts like a filter or sieve,
to clean impurities ofthe blood.
BY irregularity in its action or sus-
pensions of it's functions, the bile
is liableto overflow into the blood,
causing jaundice, saIlow COM
piexion, yellow eyes, bilious diar-
rhoea, a Ianguid, weary feeling
and many other distressing synp-
toms. BiIiousness may be prop
erIy termed an affe ction of the
liver, and can be thoroughly cured
by the grand regulator of the liver
and hillary organs, BuRDOCK
BLOOD BITTERS. Act upon the
stomach, bowels and liver, max
ing healthy bile and pure blood.
and opens the culverts and sIuice-
ways for the outlet of disease.
Sold everywhere and guaranteed
to cure.

Great Sand Dunes.

The great sand dunes along the banks
of many rivers, and particularly along
the shores at the southern end OF Lake
Michigan, are due to the presence of
the Ammophila Arenaria, or sand gather
ing grass, which possesses remarkable
power of drawing up moisture, Indeed,
it may almost be called miniature water
pump, for it is able to keep the earth
wet for several inches around it. This
wet earth catches and holds the drifting
sand. The process goes on, the grass
growing and the sand collecting, until u
great sand dune is the result.
