GORDONs rRAIroRoUs FRIEND.
Zebehr PnshR, n Trusted Arab. Arrested Ter Trenchery-The Soudan Campaign


 ALEXANDRIA March 1e.--Zebehr Pasha, whom Gen. Gordon so trusted and wished made Governor of Khartoum, has been arrested under charge of being implicated in treason able conspiracies against the authority of the hhedlve. His residence was searched imme- diately after his arrest and in it were found many documents proving that Zebehr was in secret league with the Mahdi. The prisoner has been placed in confinement aboard British frigate. He will be placed on the Island of Cyprus. Zebehr Pasha has been under 8 sur veillsnce, which practically made him a pris- oner, for the past two years. His wealth, which was mainly acquired in the slave trade, was confiscated and he was allowed quarter y stipend on condition that he should not leave Alexandria without the consent of the hhediye. Gen. Gordon pleaded that Ze- behr should be restored to power in the Soudan and said that the ex-slave king nerve and prestige to keep the Arabs in sub lection. General Gordon had encountered Zebehr during his former service in Egypt and had incidentally hanged one of Zebehr's sons, who had been left as hostage and whose life had become forfeited by an act of treachery on Zebehr's part. When Gen. Gordon was sent to Khartoum last year both he and Zebehr Pasha seemed to have agreed to ignore the past and itwas another of Zebehr's sons who escorted Gen. Gordon across the desert from Korosco to Abu Hamed. Without this escort, it is cer- tain that Gen. Gordon would Hever have got to Khartoum. Now 1t has been discovered by the British Government that Zebehr Pashs has been in continual correspondence with Fl Mahdi both before and since the capture of Khartoum and the killing of Gen. Gordon. Several other persons are about to be arrested, including prominent notables. Advicea have heen received showing that the RaSEiaon there w8@ RAxa h@tdin@ g@A

The Two officers.

Apropos of tho foreigners now in the ranks of the Fl Mshdi, French paper, relates the following anecdote of the Greek war of Independence: An officer wearing the Greek uniform was captured and led into the presence of the Turkish General, who was decked in the most picturesque trappings and who stiffened up and scowled in threatening manner at the prisoners approach. "My time has come," thought the Greek, in his own mind. "But," he unused, ''isn't that face familiar to me2 It seems to me saw it before." With a commanding gesture, the victorious General waved his attendants back, as he ordered them in Turkish to withdraw for a mo- ment. The order is obeyed. The son of the Prophet approaches the Greek, looks him in the eye and remarks in French: "Say, Gebassier, don't you know you owe me ten francsP" The Turkish and Greek officers were for merly two officers in the French army, who having been put on half pay after the fall of Napoleon, enlisted on oppo- site sides in the Greco Turkish war. One of them borrowed ten francs from the other on the retreat from Russia, and they didn't meet till their rencontre in the Greek campaign.

BERLIN March 19, 1S85.-Two hundred and seventeen miners were imprisoned by an ex- plosion of fire damp in a colliery at Camp hausen, near Saarbruck, in Rhenish Prussia, this morning, and at late hour this after noon but seventeen of them had been res cued.

A SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Award of Prize Money for the Capture
 of the Rebel Ram Albemarle.

The Supreme Court of the United States af- frmed the judgment of the Court of Claims in the suit brought by Charles l.. Steeyer, third assistant engineer of Lieut.. William B. Cushing's torpedo boat that destroyed the rebel ram Albemarle on October 27, 1864, to recover the sum necessary to make up his share of the $25l, ,000 prize money awarded for that capture. The prize court held that the shares of the officers and men of the tor pedo launch should be proportioned to their rate of pay, and the Secretary of War, in distributing the award, computed the shares of Lieut.. Cushing and the two masters mates on the basis of pay and rank to which they had been promoted while the proceedings were pending. The Court of Claims afterward decided that those officers had been overpaid and the rest of the crew underpaid to the amount of S61,- 708, and it awarded decrees for the balances due the underpaid officers and men.
 The sums found due the crew of the launch range from about g., 900 due to coal beavers to nearly $15, 900 due to Engineer Steever.

Sentenced to Lose his Eyes.

A Tangiers correspondent says: "As an instance of what goes on in Morocco in the present day, let me relate an in- cident which has just come to my knowl- edge. A man residing at Feronei, some miles from Tetuan, was lately accused of having stolen bullock from one of the local naval authorities, who, acting as judge in his own case, gave an order that the supposed delinquent should have his eyes cut out. The horrid sen- tence was carried into effect and the wretched victim was then led into Tetuan by one of his relatives in order to have medical advice from European doctor, who has settled there. As may be supposed, the case was beyond the limits of science, for no human power can ever restore sight to those empty sockets, and the poor fellow who suffered this shameful cruelty and who has been, up to the present time, the support of 8 numerous family, is condemned to hopeless darkness forever. This is only one sample of a series of brutal atroci- ties continually occurring in this coun- try. ."-Londo71 Globe. ses.
