The Forbes correspondent of the Sgd
neg Mail writes: Messrs. Quaille and
party finished retorting this morning after
crushing $50 tons of stone, the result be-
ing a magnificent cake of gold weighing
1,754oz. 11dwt. of gold, valued at &C, 500.
This is the largest cake of gold from a
single crushing that has ever been OBJ
tanned here. Messrs. NpMillan, Penning-
ton & Co., whose last crushing exceeded
11oz. per ton, are now carting another lot
of stone to the machine, and will COM
mence putting it through the battery on
Monday morning. They have over 200
tons on the grass, and the result Of the
crushing is expected to be something very
good. The Queensland gold fields are
equally promising, as~are also its silver
mines.

not be fixed for carrying out the seln-
tence of the Court in his case, and
having none, Friday. January 10th was
fixed as the day for his execution.
Gray was apparently unmoved. and, it
is said, laughed merrily when being
taken back to Jail by the Sheriff. Be

prefer it to imprisonment for life were
it not for his mothers sake. 1t is re-
ported that al effort will be made to
have his sentence committed TO inpris-

Among the benign qualities Of Hostetters
Stomach Bitters, is that of expellng from the
circulation those acrid impurities to which the
disease Is attributable. Analysis proves that
in cases OF rheumatism, the kidneys fail to
eliminate these impurities from the blood
The Bitters, by stimulating these organs to
activity, enables them TO perform this all i'm

disease or remedies il at the outset. The
functions of digestion, and secretion of bile by
the liver, are also BEAUTIFULLY stimulated by

hNer complaint and remedies fever and aglie
bilious remittent, snd other ailments OF ma
laiial birth. 1t is also the leading tonic of the

What Is A Mahdi?

New York Herald: Mahdi or NAH
adj, as D'Herbelot spells it, is an an
cient title in the moslem world which
at first signifed simply director of the
faithful. But in the course of moslem
history, and especially moslsm history
in Africa, it came to have another sig
MITIGATION related to an accepted
prophecy of Mohammed: 1t neces-
sarlly refers to the African part of
Arabic history. BY this secondary
significance of the world, the mahdi
is certain ancient leader come again.
His appearance is the second event.
of a prophet who lived in the old
days, and who in all the meantime
has been with the immortal. Mo-
manned, the twelfth oman. and the
twelfth in descent from Ali. is the
real original. He is the mahdi who
comes again every now and then.
He was hidden from the world at an
early age and communed only with
his disciples through his lifetime, and
finally did not die but "went up"
with the fixed intention of returning
to receive the glories of moslem. AS
in the Christian theory, and even in
the history of several monarchies
this legand of prince who is to re-
turn'has afforded favorite pretext
for no end of impostors, so it did in
Islam. The most famous Of these in
past ages was Abulcassum Moham-
med Ben Adballan, the founder of the
Fatimite dynasty in Africa. Mo-
manned has prophesied that in three
hundred years the sun would rise in
the west, and as Abulcassum's glory
was in 296 of the hegira, it was held
that the prophecy referred to him, and
since then the idea of the mahdi has
commonly had relation to a revival
of glories of Islam in that western
world moslemism, the provinces Of
Africa held by the Arabs.

High or Low Grounds for Orchards.

Prof. II. ]. Burriil, of the Illinois
Industrial university. is quoted as
thinking that success in orchard cul-
ture does not depend upon planting
trees upon high or low ground, but
upon securing the conditions that
maintain an abundant supply ofmois-
ture during the dry part Of the sea-
son. All soil in Illinois is wet enough
in spring. That which suffers least
from summer drouth and autumn
rains is most favorably to the apple.
The second growth that takes place
in the fall, when abundant rains and
warm weather follow severe drought,
prove very injurious, as unripe wood,
owing to its superabundance of sap,
is much more subject to injury from
frost than we'll ripened wood. But
cold is not the only cause of the dis
eased tree SO common in Illinois.
The sun shining upon the trunk
causes the corky envelope to dry and
crack on that side, thus permitting
the entrance of bacteria which in
creases the injury.
