ON the RETREAT.

General Ballard Falling Baek Toward KoFe
The 1lahdi Advancing-Review Of thu
Guards By the Duke Of Cambridge On th<
Eve Of their Departure for suakim.
KoRrI, February 19.-General Sir
Redvers Butler, who was expected to At
tack Metemneh on Sunday last, sends
word that the rebels appeared In such
force Is to make the result Of an attack
doubtful, and in the absence Of positive
orders to move upon the town he con-
sidered 1t advisable to retire from his
somewhat exposed position and
await reinforcements. He there
fore abandoned Gubat and retreated
as far as the Abu Klea wells. The move
ment was conducted so promptly and un-
expectediy that the Arabs did not notice
it until several hours after the mSrch had
begun, and the column was not molested.
He intends to further retire as far as
Gakdul and there wait for orders.
1t is now believed that he will be in
structed to continue his retrograde move
to Korti, and that no further attempt to
advance will be made until the remaining
regiments of the expedition have arrived
at this place.
General Butler reports that the Mahdi
is advancing toward Getemneh with 1000
men, and was within twenty miles of that
place when the English began their re-
treat An advance force of 5000 men
had reached within seven miles of Gu
bat. They were armed and carried five
field pieces.
LONDON, February ls.-The Duke Of
Cambridge, Chief, accom-
panied by the Princess of Wales, in
spected the Guards to-day, previous to
their departure for Suakim. The weather
was fair. The men presented q fine ap-
pearance. As they rode past the review
ing stand, they were loudly cheered,
both for their fine soldierly marching,
and for precision of action.
After the review they were drawn up
before the grand stand, and the Duke Oh
Cambridge in short address, urged them
to remember that discipline was one of
the cardinal virtues of the good
soldier. He hoped they would
readily submit to all rules or re-
strictions imposed on them. Continuing,
the Duke said: "Remember your
discipline and duty; your gallantry Is I'M
doubted. Goodbye Guards. During the
address the Duke was repeatedly inter-
rupted with applause. At the close of
his remarks the band played the National
hymn and the crowds cheered themselves
boarse.

An Improbable Year for Cotton Factors.

Boston, Mass, February 19.-The
Transcript says that with the single ex.
ception of the Pepperell Manufacturing
Company. which has a good export trade,
the New England cotton mills figure q
loss upon their manufacturing business
in the last six months of 1884. The de
mand forthe spring trade is very light
and production is still ahead of consump-

goods manufactured in New England re-
turned about two per cent. profit This
was lost in the last half of the year. The
wooden mills are doing fairly well.

EOn motion of Calamity Hastings the mat
ter of a national emblem for the colOred
race was taken from the table for discussion.
He favored beehive himself, but would
not be captious about it.
Prof. Bannister favored the coon as an
emblem 1t represented industry, vigilance
and courage. Colored people were often re-
ferred to as coons, anyhow, and the emblem
would cut both ways.
Trustee Pullback had given the matter
much thought, but his preference was for
an old hen sitting on about thirty-f -four eggs.
If that didn't represent industry and clear
grit he didn't know what would.
Samuel Shin had made up his mind that
the only emblem he would vote for would
be that of colored man walking in shady
lane with a watermelon under each arm.
Sir Isaac Walpole favored the figure of a
black bear; Elder Toots declared in favor of
the beaver; Judge Cadaver would have
nothing but the figure of black man wav-
ing a pillow in one hand, thrashing machine
in the other and crying ''Yewreka"
The discussion promised to bring forth no
fruit, when the president put stop to it by
saying;
"Gem'len, at meetin' of de committee on

adopted by a vote of ia to s, These en-

face than the duke of Wellington, whose

On taking his seat for Park to model
his face in clay the sculptor asked him not

but to keep his mind fixed on one subject

the request, with the result that
his face soon assumed a fixed and
sleepy expression, without a trace of
intellectual animation. Park suddenly

THE SCIENCE OF TRAVELLING.
The Dangers of Hurrying-Fast Trains the

Hurry to or from trains should in all
cases be avoided 1t is dangerous to the
healthy habitual traveller as well as the
invalid Many a one has suffered perma-
nent dilatation of the heart in hurrying
to catch train; many a one has dropped
down dead from the same cause.
Hurrying in catching trains tends to
weakness of the nervous system, to in
digestion, and to heart disease, to say
nothing of the risk of catching cold from
sitting down in the carriage heated, in
cases where the person has to walk
quickly instead of riding.
For large number of different kinds
of complaints change of air and scene is
prescribed for patients, and long journeys
have to be made in railway carriages; it
behooves the invalid therefore to look well
after his comforts in travelling, and not to
neglect the slightest precaution to make
the journey easy.

this way than gentlemen; let her not, then,

of the road, including the fatigue. Once
on board and started, invalids never fail
to be quite astonished at the strength they
possess and at "how well they bear the

Those people who have business in the
