The NIahdI.

The mahdi's outward appearance was strangely fascinating: he was a man of strong constitution, very dark complex ion and his face always wore pleasant smile, to which he had, by long practice accustomed himself. Under this smile gleamed set of singularly white teeth, and between the two upper middle ones was Y shaped space, which in the Soul dan is considered a sign that the owner will be lucky. The mahdi was well versed in the art of winning over people His unruffled smile. pleasant manners, generosity and equable temperament, though at times somewhat severe, all tended to enhance the popular idea of him. He attributed the execution of Said Pasha and Ali Bey Sherif (the yah- ant defenders of Fl Obeid) to the Khalifa Abdulah, and when the two little sons of the latter were brought to. him the smiling hypocrite wept for their fathers fate.
 The popular belief in him and his cause almost amounted to worship. Women especially raved about him and thought him the most handsome of men His virtues were extolled in poems, and constant reference was made to his good looks, wisdom, stature and to his re peated victories over the Turks The beggars used to learn off by heart special laudatory verses, and by reciting them from house to house they were sure to be given alns.-"Ten Years Captivity in the Mahdi's Camp"

A Strange Death.

Thomas Odell, u young man of twen- ty-two years, living seven miles back of Greenup, Ky, has met death iii strange manner. He had been puzzle to phy- sicians for several years. He was affected by what he ate to such an extent that when ho indulged in beef eating about an hour afterward he would become restless and wander out in search of cattle and below as an OK, and would get down on his hands and knees and eat grass like a COW When he partook of mutton his actions were those of q sheep, and he would plaintively bleat like a lamb. When he ate chicken he would go out and scratch for worms, which he would devour with apparent relish.
 After eating fish he would wander to the creek and goin swimming One day his father killed several squirrels, of which the son ate heartily for dinner Ho left the house shortly after and was followed by the father. The father slw him enter an oak grove, and soon saw his son jumping nimbly from limb Co limb, at the same time barking like a squirrel.

Longevity in England.

The death rate in the Peak of Derby. shire is so low that the district rivals in salubrity the American village which was so extraordinarily healthy that the inhabitants who wished to "shuffle off this mortal coil' had to migrate into e neighboring town. The mortality at Buxton is nine per 1000; at the adjacent hamlet of Flash it is said that death takes only the very young and very old, the infant and the patriarch, The sexton can almost tell whose grave he will next dig.
