THE ENEMY's LOSSES.

The following are the approximate
details of the enemy's losses up to
date:-2,000 were killed, wounded or
taken prisoners, while the expedi.
tionary force captured 160 camels,
70 horses, between 200 or 300 dom
keys, so banners, about 1000 spears,
and 1000 unexpectedly all the
enemy possessed. A considerable
number of goats, sheep and cattle,
quantities of Attoura dates, and
most of the other animals taken
were passed on to the transport de-
partment. Among them were meny
magnificent riding camels, which
have been selected for the camel
corps. All the cattle recently stolen
by the Dervishes have been returned
to the native population.
CONGRATULATIONS FROM THE KHEDIvE.
The following message was sent
by the Khedive to Sir H. Kitchener
on his receiving the news of the vic
tory at Firket:-
~ beg you to convey my eongra-
tulations and sincere thanks to all
the officers, non.commissioned Off
GERS, and mel in to.day's action for
their splendid victory and brilliant
behaviour this morning, and my
sympathy with the wounded. Re-
ceive my heartfelt thanks to your.
self aud staff on the occasion OF the
victory, and / beg you to acquaint
me with full details"
The Sirdar replied:-
"Allow me to thank your highness
for your gracious telegram, which l
have ordered to be published in my
army order"
Reliable reports just to hand at
Cairo state that many Dervishes in
tend going over to the British side,
on account OF the one victory at
Firket. Omdurman is reported to
be in state Of revolt, which is only
repressed by strong measures on the
part OF the Khalfa. The Indian
troops are much feared by the
Dervishes, and any forward move
ment on their part towards Bsrber
would probably mean that we should
regain the whole of the Soudan
without the necessity of employing
English troops.

BRITISH TROOPS READY.
Sir II. Kitchener, on his arrival at
Firket, the scene OF our recent VIC
tory over the Dervishes, brought the
news of the death Of the Dervish
Emin Karamala, who had succumb-
ed TO his wounds at Koyeb, to which
place, though badly hurt, he had
escaped after the battle. Karamala
was originally an official in the Bahr
ell Ghazel province, where he tried
to stir up rebellion against Lupton
Boy. His intrigues were discovered,
and he had to flee the country. He
took part in the battle in which
Hicks Pasha's army was annihilated,
aud returning to Bahr ell Ghazel
succeeded in overthrowing Lupton
Bey. For this he was rewarded by
the Mahdi with the title of governor
of the Bahr 81 Ghazel. Altogether
he was most important chief, and
his death is a severe loss to the
Khalifa. Nejumi, who commanded
the Dervish post opposite Suardeh
on the west bank, is also reported to
have been badly wounded in the
arm
DERvIsHEs MADDENED BY DEFEAT.
Desolation prevails in the villages
along the river. All the houses
have been wilfully destroyed, not a
single water-wheel remains, and the
fields are uncultivated, testifying to
the cruel government of the Derv-
ishes. Suardeh was the only village
which remained intact in the dis
trict. A relative Of friendly Shekb,
describing the reception OF the news
by Mohammed Wad Bishara, said
the Emir plucked his beard with
rage when he read the list OF Emirs
who had been killed or captured.
The Bishara had put in prison at
Dopgola the chiefs Of the Mahass
tribes who were suspected Of being
friendly to the Egyptians. A
Dervish force has never before been
so thoroughly beaten.

The Northumberland Man.

The Hodge Of, say, Essex or Cambridge
shire, with his comparatively poor ply
sique, due to generations of low wages and
bad feeding, his lack of ambition and love
of slops and beer, is not comparable to the
intelligent and robust kinds of Northum-
berland or Roxburghshire or the Lothians.
Any one accustomed to make long walk
ing tours III both countries viii admit the
truth Of the following observation. In
any purely agricultural district of Scot
land you may travel from 10 to IA miles
without passing single public house. and
indeed the disappearance of many ancient
hostelries Is conspicuous feature of the
last decade, but the poorest and most de-
pressed portions of Essex and Suffolk are
still literally supplied with beer houses.
Grumble as Hodge will about being
starved on or 10 shillings week, he lays
himself open to the retort that he subsists,
and has a surplus for ale. 1t is cheap,
vile and heady, and one would think dou-
bly, hurtful to those who are i'll nourished.
Again, the surroundings are very unlike.
The squire and parson, excellently as they
may fulfill their duties, In some respects
have pauperizing influence. Very char
acteristic was the comment of the rustic
after listening to a fiery orator, who had
promised the abolition of landlords and
clergy, "Then who will there be to gi'
me my Christmas GOALS and blanketss"
Against the minister and the laird no such

Where the Pins Go.

An old gentleman in the north Of Lon
don has recently been making a series Of
interesting experiments with view to
finding a solution to the question oi1en
asked, "What becomes of the countless
myriads of pins, ETC., that are annually
lost?" AS he expected, he finds that it is
the disintegrating effect of the air which
resolves even these intractable little in
struments into their elements
He put some hundreds Of brass and
steel pins, needles, hairpins, etc., In a
quiet corner of his garden, where they
would be subject to all the destructive
agencies Of dampness. earth, wind, etc., al
though secure from the predatory hands
and disturbing feet of inquisitive in.
truders. The results are curious.
Ordinary hairpins were the first-taking
154 days on an average-to oxidize into a
brownish rust (ferrus oxide) which was
scattered by the wind as it was formed,
and not trace of a single one could be
detected at the end of seven months Com
mon bright pins took as long as 1s months
before their combustion was complete, buo
brass ones had been entirely turned into
green verdigris long before that.-Chicago

Only q Substitute.

Here is little story from our friend,
the primary school teacher; she tells ii
Of q little 7-year-old girl named Maggie:
maggie came into school after recess
recently chewing vigorously, she began.
II thought that perhaps she was finish.
ing an apple or piece Of candy, so did
not say anything to her.
II happened to look in Maggie's direc-
tion about half an hour afterward and no.
tioed that the masticating process was
going on as hard as ever. OF course i'm.
mediately jumped to the conclusion that
she was guilty Of chewing that children Is
delight and teachers horror-tutti frutti.
II called Maggie up to my desk and ac-
oused her of chewing gum. She denied it
at once. She stopped chewing, but had
had no time to remove the gum, for !
watched her closely as she came to my
desk from her scat.
II talked rather sharply to her. and she
finally broke down and commenced to cry.

An Infant Terrible.

He is charming little fellow of 4, pref
ty in his ways, good to look at, but as
naughty as they are made He sat on the
bottom step, kicking his fat little legs and
refusing utterly to obey his father, who
had told him to go up stairs several times
in increasing degrees of severity. After a
few minutes Of this clashing of wills his
exasperated young parent picked him up
somewhat suddenly, carried him up and
set him down very firmly on chair in his
room and went out and shut the door. ST.
lence reigned. Not sound from him for
at least half an hour. Then the door was
opened and sweet little voice called out,

Sworn to and subscribed before me this
September 2Sth, 1896.
IN P. Fulton County. Ga.
The Commercial was the first public journal
to expose the infamous character of the Demo-
cratic circular.
The exposure raised such storm around
the heads of Governor Atkinson and his cam
paign managers that they found it necessary
some days since to repudate and deny respon-
sibility for the distribution of the circular.
The first Of these remarkable statements was
made by Governor Atkinson ina letter to Hon.
S. A Roddenbery of Townsville,
The following Is an extract from that letter:
II did not authorize the publication of this
Objectionable statement about which you
write, and did not know of it until saw
criticism on it in newspaper. I then got a
copy, read in it the statement above quoted,
and saw that the bare, naked, unexplained
statement was calculated to demoraize those
ignorant of the facts in the case, and at once,
without moments delay, requested Mr.. Clay

read the circular or know of contents until

is required to look after engagements for pub
| lie speakers, ana to answer correspondence;
it is, therefore, equally impossible for him to
know the contents of all the literature distrib-
uted by supporters OF the Democratic ticket"
This was followed few days later by card
from Chairman Clay from which the follow
ing extract is clipped:
