Ell MAIIDJ.

When the English diplomats out
stripped their French brethren in the
Egyptian question, there was a force
which they did not take into consider
alton. The antipathy Of the Moslem
to the Christians has proved barrier
to conquest in the East. 1t is true
that considerable districts of the Mo-
hammedan Empire have been anne xed
by foreign Powers, notably Russia,
but it has been accomplished only at
great cost and after protracted strug-
giles. The Moslem when called upon
to fight for religious motives. is per-
feet demon. To him, death upon the
battlefield is glory. Yet the improved
accoutrements of the Europeans. and
their splendid discipline generally,
make short work of the unframed
forces of the fanatics. 1t is only when
IA leader Of more than usual magni-
tude springs up that their uprisings
assume serious proportions. Ell Mahdi,
of whom we present an admirable
portrait, is such a leader, although a
fanatic of the worst type. He spent
months in dry pit in the Soudan be-
fore he took the field against the En-.
glish invaders. He sought spiritual
advice and guidance. Upon emerg-
ing from his hermitage he announced
himself as the true prophet. He
preached religious war against the
English, and thousands Of his country
men fockcd to his assistance. The
neighboring tribes joined in the move
ment, and together they formed an
enormous army. They made the Sou
dan untcnable to foreigners and
gained several victories over their OPP.
ponents. FL Mahdi, sending emissar-
les among the Egyptian troops, COM
posed Of native soldiers, caused dis
satisfaction among them, and many
Joined his forces. The chiefs who
would not join the revolution were Sc
cured as neutral allies, by the promise
Of substantial tracts of land. King
John of Abys~inia, upon whom the
English reckonel, was thus bought
over by f.! Mahdi. The Mahdi is the
most influential and powerful oppo-
nent whom the English have had to
combat in the East

WOOD RIVERS OPPORTUNITY.

Yesterday we published all article
pointing out the golden opportunity
which the city of Portland, in Oregon,
may seize at present, to secure the
trade of this rapidly-growing region.
To-day we take occasion to urge our
business men to endeavor to open re-
la,ions with the leading houses Of our
Oregon sister city. A list is published
elsewhere, every name in Which is
paid for, of the leading houses IN
every line Of trade that carry such
goods as are needed here. More will
appear tomorrow.
In addition to this, special agent
of the TIMES has been in Portland all
winter, cndeavoring in various ways
to arouse the substantial citizens of
that place to realization Of the i'm
mense advantages to be derived by
tIICtli llbul CI'StI IcIutIt1S WITH us.
That he has partly succeeded is al
ready evident.
Bat he cannot do everything alone.
His business was to blaze the trail for
others to follow. Let our business
men take immediate steps to assure
the merchants or Portland that they
wish to trade there. Let them send
for price lists and, perhaps. trial orders,
and the connection will be made. Our
business men will thereafter meet with
IL prompt and liberal response to their
advances.
This is "a matter pregnant with good
results to Wood River. The Com
stock lode, valuable as it was admitted
to be in its earliest days, was neve,
properly exploited until San Francisco
capital and San Francisco push and
energy had been enlisted in its be
half. So will il be with Wood River
let Portland money and Portland
goods begin coming here, and millions
upon millions of capital will be at the
disposal Of. our mine, owners and bust
ness men, for all Legitimate needs.
AS above intirated, the TINES Ina,
succeeded ia awakening an interest ii
Wood River in the city of Portland
and her business men are willing t,
listen to, aud crsn anxious y waiting
for, overturcs from the purchasers OF
Wood River. If such overtuYes ar,
made, the result will be greatly in
creased prosperity to Wood River an,
to everybody in this region.

JERSEYS AND BoDICES.

There is a greater variety in jerseys this
summer than ever before, and they are fash
ionably worn with all toilets. Black ones
come in every basque shape. and often have
vests of white striped with gold braid. The
dark blue and crimson ones are also very
d1essy and jsunty, and can be worn over
any dress skirt,
Jerseys for evening wear are now not only
very fancifully braided, but are also trimmed
with lace around the neck and sleeves and
sometimes around the skirt of the basque.
But this latter is by no means pretty fash
ion, especially if the depth of the lace ex-
ceeds three inches. The plain jerseys, es-
pecially those in cream-color and blue, are
being largely worn for tennis playing, with
blue and white striped skirts.
The bodices of thin materials and sum
mer silks are gathered or shirred at the neck
ard waist line.
Tucked bodices have lengthwise tucks,
confined at the waist line by row of stitch
ing, go that belt is not necessary.
Breton and Swiss bodices seem to increase
in popularity, and are exceedingly becoming

Jerseys with stamped gilt flowers strewn
over them have no trimming Gray jerseys
are embroidered with iridsstent beads OF the
same shade.
