New York, 17th-London news
states there is an increasing belief
that Major General Gordon has been
shot.
The military drain in England is
compelling the Government to par
don hundreds of the imprisoned sol
diers.
Great enthusiasm is manifested in
Australia consequent on the accept
ance of their offer TO help England
in the Soudan. 1t is expected that
the Sydney contingent will arrive
there on the 18th of March.
A serious labour riot occurred in
London yesterday. Three thousand
of the unemployed marched 10 the
Local Government Building demand
ing that relief should be given by
employing them on Municipal works,
they were, however, repuIsed, because
they were only a bowling mob. The
Police were overpowered and an
attempt was made to force an entrance
to a Cabinet Council then sitting at
Downing Street. Thoy also stormed
the office of the Admiralty and the
Home Department. The police hav-
ing been reinforced succeeded at
length in quelling the riot.

2. The landed proprietOrs IN Bohemia.
On the 18th inst. a large number OF
land owners in the country near
Prague delivered to the district magis-
trates in Carolinenthal a memorial,
requesting, that in consideration of
the deplorable state Of the %agricultu
raj interest caused by the sugar crisis
they may be altogether released from
payment Of the ground tax or allowed
a delay free from interest until the
following year, as without that mum
bers OF establishments would have to
be levied upon, and hundreds of
families exposed to starvation.
8. The sug0r establishments IN Span
have suffered much by the severity of
this winter. Among others a CORE
~spondent to the Times writes from
Malaga under date of 10th January:
The snowstorm lasted this morning
three hours. Such a storm has not
been experienced since 1861. The
frost and the snow Of last night have
destroyed the sugar-beet crop in this
province and injured the orange and
olive trees. Another account from
Tore del Mar, Of 17th, says: The
statement of the sum of $1,000 E St.
as the loss by the sugAr-crop this year
is confirmed. Til. is the third crop
in regular succession, which is lost.

The Fight at AbOu Klea.

From the Spectator of oath january
The Mahdi has endeayoured to
stop Sir H. Stewards march to SheE-
dy, and has failed. Relieved and pro-
badly excited by the capture of ON
durham, the great fortified post OPP
posIte K%hartoum, the Arab leader
had collected from that post, from
Berber, and from Metemmeh, ONE
10000 men at Ab0u Klea, a valley
with wells in it, twenty-three miles
on this side of Metemmeh. When,
therefore, Sir Herbert Stewart, with
his 1900 men, on the 10th inst, ar
rived at the head of the valley, his
, 1885-02-21

scouts reported an army determined
to oppose his progress. Sir III. Stew
art halted with his men for the night
and after a rest, disturbed by three
calls to arms, left his great cavalcade
of camels under guard, and advanced,
with 1900 men arranged in square,
to the attack. The enemy came or
in two great divisions, one Of which
charged furiously down the side of
the valley on the square, drove in the
Dragons, who had scattered a little,
by sheer impetus, and tor some mi
nutes maintained itself within the
square. The English soldiers and
sailors fought, however, with despera-
ton, the officers were always in front,
and The Arabs, though they showed
their accustomed courage, were driv-
en- out with slaughter. They suffered
too, terribly, both in the advance and
in retreat, from the heavy fire. Sir
Herbert Stewart, though the battle
was not over till the afternoon, felt it
necessary to move forward before
the enemy could reform; and, leav-
ing a minute force to guard the wells,
recommended in a few hours his
march towards Metemmeh. There,
for the moment, the curtain drops
the difficulty Of sending messages
without strong escort having proba-
bly, been increased by the presence,
near the route, of parties Of defeated
Arabs.

The losses on both sides in this
gagement were very great, both forces
having, in the literal sense Oi the word,
been decimated. The British lost
nine officers killed, including Colonel
F. Burnaby and other well known
men, and nine officers wounded, sixty
five non-c0mmissi0ned officers and
men killed, aud eighty five wounded.
This list shows - per cent. of all
present killed OF placed borS de
combat, most of them in a struggle
the rash into the square-whlch did
not exceed ten minutes. In that
struggle, however, the officers had TO
take "a personal lead. On the other
side, the Arabs probably lost a larger :
proportion of their men, The prl-
sonprs estimate their force at twenty
regiments of 400 men, or 5000 in NIL;
bur accepting it with Lord WoIseIey
at IL, 1000, they left 8 per cent. OF
their number, or 800 dead on the
plain and the prisoners report the
number of wounded to have been
unusual" and estimate il at 1870, OF
whom half ut least, without doctors
or hospitals, would probably perish.
Unfortunately, the loss is in no way
equal ; for besides the comparative
value of the lives taken, the Mahdi
can expend many men for our one.
The stories of his 10000 men are
rubbish but we see no reason to
alter our original calculation that he

The Advantage OF Being q

they have been superseded by their

bosh. You can't do away with the
blonde, and you can't do away with
frizzled bangedhair. Prominently the
blonde is the beauty of civilization.
Sheis among us to stay as such and
you can't drive her away. A brunette

her by reason of wonderful loneliness,

the average brunette. Mind you, once
in alifetime or SO there arises a mirac-
ulous brunette who completely sur
passes her, but for steady going, ordi-
nary good looks that makes NO pre-

Characteristic Developments OF the Sex as
witnessed ut Bar Harbor.

~
Robert Grant in Outing.
The American girl is neither mer-
cenary nor material. Her knowledge
Of human nature does not ordinarily
deter her from Ideality. Nor is the
ofutur' she enshrined in her magma
ton any the less inspiring because his
physical properties are hay. Like
girls all the world over she cherishes
this form of ideal but sheis SO absorb
ed in her earnestness to realize a per-
feet soul that, unlike her Galhc kins-
woman, she rarely dreams of a nous
tache ora definite pairo flegs.
Her f~earlessnesS and self-reliance are
also traits that command attention.
Accustomed to be served and waited
upon by men with more consideration
than In any other society, she is yet
less dependent upon surveillance. She
has a wonderful faculty of forecasting
circumstances and understanding how
far she can act Independently without
hazard. remember being struck at
Bar Harbor by the response of q girl
of eighteen, who was questioned as to
the prudence of having spent most OF
the day and evening on the water with
q young man who was almost a strang-
er. HOh," she answered, "the canoe
itself is a great protection.
Bar Harbor is q theatre well chosen
for the free play of those traits. AS
most people know, it possesses ex-
ceptional natural beauties, both
of s~ea-coast and interior. The walks
and drives are attractive and various,
and the smooth surface of the island
dotted bay is admirably adapted for
boating. All the elements that make
up the place are opposed to artificial
ity. The very air is superabundant
with ozone. The host of young peo-
pie that alighted at Mt. Desert, like q
vast flock of doe-birds, within a few
yards of it's discovery as an available
resort, emphasized a silent protest
against the conventional customs
hitherto limiting their relations. If
marriage is woman's whole existence,
let her have the opportunity to choose,
i~ntelligently, and to obtain more than
a. ballroom impression Of him upon
whose character the happiness OF her
life is to be mainly dependent. This
was the keynote of the movement and
as a corollary thereto the companions
ship of maidenhood was advocated as
a refining influence on young men,. At
this new departure the old nations
shook their heads and shrugged their
shoulders.
The intimacy established between
manageable young folk is the great
feature of life at Bar Harbor. The
emancipation OF women has been af-
fected thereby in a sense much more
satisfactory to them as a sex than any
bill ofpolitical rights could accomplish.
Perfunctorily spoken of In other civili-
cations as the companion of man, she
has demonstrated her right to thedes-
ignation. she has insisted on knowing
the world fromother standpoints than
merely the nursery or the cotillion.
She has learned to discuss and to form
opinions. She no longer permits her.
self to be put of the track in her pur-
suit after truth by amiable legends in
vented for her benefit. In brief, she
thinks for herself.

Gently went into q little barber shop
in Harlem, sat down in achair, leaned
back, and was about to shut his eyes
to keep the lather out, when they fell
upon an array Of wonderfully deco

picture of a hearse, fianked by two up.
right collins; on another was a dummy
engine standing on a section OF the ele-
waited road, and Others displayed pic
lures OF q milk wagon, a tombstone,a

that the hearse and coffin cup belonged
to an nndrtaker with an eye to bust
ness, who had got enough eustomfrom
his novel advertisements to pay his
shaving bill for the next ten years.
An engineer or the elevated road owned
the cup with the dummy engine on it.
The other cups belonged to a milk
dealer, a stonecutter, acarpenter, and
q bricklayer. The barber said he had
an order for a cup from a neighboring
shoemaker which would eclipse all the
other cups. 1t would contain a tiny
photograph of the shoemaker on a
swinging sign, bearing hisname and the
legend, Preparing neatly doneW
