Has tho Mahdi Detected the Nilee

LONDON, Oct II.-There is q fa~st-growing
fear among the Egyptian natives that the pres
emit low stage of tho Nile. unprecedented in re-
cent times, is due to tho Vaccinations Of the
Mahdi. 1t is argued that the ancients were fully
aware that it was possible to dofect the course
Of the Nile. and in support of this
argument the opponents Of this theory
quote Ezekiel xxx, 3, and xxx, IL, and Isaiah
xix. 5. threatening the desolation OF Egypt and
the turning o: her waters from their courses. 1t
is further alleged that the king OF Abyssinia, in
1704. threatened the Turkish Pasha at Cairo to
avail himself of his power TO turn tho Nile from
its course at some point in the unsxplored
region through which the great river runs, and
many persons, not sharing the fanaticiem of the
Mahdls followers. are inclined TO the belief that
be. too, has discovered the place AMI the means
of putting Egypt to death slowly by drying up
her fountain Of life.

New YORK. Oct. 1.-THE following extract
from a note just received from one of the jurors
of the Brussels exposition shows that, though
the number of American exhibitors was not as
large as it should have been, the reputation Of

fully sustained by those who represented them
at the exposition. The writer, under date of the
5th OF October, says: II have jast finished the
duties of juror at the exposition, aud must let
you hear Of the returns. In agricultural ma
chimes, in which division 1 was put, We got for

distinctions of greater or less degree. think
we have reason to congratulate ourselves.
