GEN. GoRDsx.

The history and lineage of Chi
nese Gordon are of permanent in
terest, and just now what relates
to him is heightened by the uncer-
tainty of his fate at Khartoum. Ell
Mahdi has caused word to be sent
to the British lines that Gordon
and all his officers have become
Mahometans and are now wearing
the uniform of the false prophet.
It is believed in the British War
Office, however, that Gordon is
dead. At any rate it is not posi-
BILE that an officer of his repute,
loyalty and pride in the service,
would save his life by abiuring his
religion for the rotten belief of the
Mahdi.
Gordon is of august military lin
cage. When General Cope went
up to fight the Highland Scotch in
the REBELLION of 1743, the last at
tempt of the Stuarts to recover the
English throne, there was IN his
command in Lascelles regiment
now the 1st, Lancashire, Gordons
great grandfather and he was made
a prisoner at Prestonpanns, when
johnny" Cope was whipped by the
killed Gals under Prince Charlie
Stuart.
Gordon's grandfather was a sol
dier on the heights of Abraham
before Quebec in 1859, when Wolfe
and Montcalm tried conclusions
and France and England imagined
themselves fighting for the exclu-
sive empire of North America.
Gordon's father attained the
rank of Lieutenent-Gen eral in the
British army, and lived to witness
the brilliant successes of Of his son
in China, although he was meyer
reconciled to that sons acceptance
of the command of an alien and
barbarian force. Chinese Gordons
mother was Miss Enderby, the
daughter of the greatest English
ship owner Of his day. 1t was his
ships that were chartered by the
East India Company to bring to
American port the tea which raised
our Revolution tempest in 1878
The two ships boarded in Boston
Harbor and despoiled of their cargo |
by sham Mohawks, belonged to
Capt. Enderby so that our Gordon |
is identified by ancestry not only
with the struggle between France
and England for supremacy of this
country, but also with the period
when all Boston was singing:
30 Boston wives and maids draw
near and see,
Our delicate Souchong and Hyson
tea,
Buy it, my charming girls, black or
brown,
If not. we'll cut your Threats and
burn your town."

The famous Cardiff giant, which laid so
long IN che old stone warehouse Il this
city, was shipped to a Missouri tow a
short time ago, and about Two weeks since
the warehouse in which il was stored
burnt down and the old image crumbled
TO pieces. The neck was broken while il
was here. This huge piece of rude sculp-
ture had a queer history aud created a
great sensation in its day. Chester A.
Hull, a newspaper man, who was the
author of some of the most colossal
hoaxes of this or any other age, was pub
fishing a little newspaper at Cardiff, New
York, and some ono left with him the
authority to sell II small piece of rather
useless land near the town. Hull hap
pened shortly after to be in Chicago, and
visited n friend, a marble cutter who had
dug a great image OF n man out of stone.
A happy thought struck Hull. He Sc
cured the image, had it secretly shipped
to the piece of ground which he had for
sale and buried it. At the proper time
the giant was unearthed and created A
great sensation as the petri6ed remains of
a prehistoric man. The piece of ground
with the giant was sold for a fabulous
price and the image was afferward trans
ported about the country as the main at
