The dispatches tell of another battle
between the British and rebels, in which
the rebels lost 1900, while the British
loss Is only 220. The rebels lost their
banner, which was captured by the ma
rnes. The British advanced by falling
back, and possibly 1t would be ms well
to tell of some of these glorious vioto-
res 'to the marines" until further par
tioulars are received. For series Of
brilliant successes, very little Roadway
has been made by the British, and Khar-
toum has been lost sight of altogether.
A "BLACK LIST statement. being the
list of men who are alleged to be bad

such publications are of real benefit to
the business world, because no merchant
would be likely to give great credit to
parties who are not known or who are
not endorsed properly. The publisher
of The list is generally a schemcr whose
reputation In many eases Is not half so
good rs the men whom he ISLANDERS.
II LOOKS somewhat paradOXioal to
