Ell HAFIR, via Kerma, on the Nile.
Sept. 21.-The following official details
or the capture of Dongola, the dervish
stronghold, have been obtained: The
gunboats engaged in the capture of
Dongola were the Tamai, commanded
by Rougemont. after Naval Command
er Colville was wounded; Aboukler,
commanded by Beatty, and Matammeh
commanded by Oldfeld. They arrived
here late in the afternoon Command
er Beatty, who assumed command of
the three gunboats. reports as follows:
I'VE arrived at Dongola early in the
morning and made fast to the east
bank By this time Colville was able
to resume command and the opera
lions against Dongola began with
bombarding 1t at 300 yards range. We
Immediately preceived that Dongola
was not defended, and a force was
landed which captured a quantity OF
treasure, all the dervish books, and
also seven grain-laden Ooats. l was
now able to see the effect of the der
wish fire on the gunboats. The Mat
ammeh was struck by one shell which
injured her gun fittings and her boil
ers, breaking the safety valves The
dervish rifle fire was essentially good.
The wooden parts Of the upper decks
were simply riddled and the sides of
all the gunboats showed hundreds of
holes.
Beatty received a bullet through
his helmet and Armorer Richardson
was wounded in the body. He has
since died. On board the Tamai, five
men were wounded, on the Aboukler.
six men were wounded and one man
was wounded on the Matammeh. Com
mander Colville is recovering rapidly.
cat the time Wad Bishara was
wounded, he had just received a letter
from the khalifa and ordered out of
his tent everybody except the messen-
ger who had brought it, and two
blacks Shortly afterwards, a shell
from one of the gunboats burst in the
tent, killing the messenger and the
two blacks and wounding the dervish'
leader in the chest. The main body Of
Anglo Egyptian troops, under Sir Her
bert Kitchener started for Dongola on
Monday night"
1t is now reported that Wad Bishara,
the commander Of the dervish forces,
has reached the vicinity of Dongola on
his retreat from this place, and is pre-
pairing to oppose the Egyptian advance.
Wad Bishara's wounds are severe, but
not mortal. The dervish troops are de-
sorting in large numbers to the Egypt
ianS.
Queen Victoria has telegraphed her
congratulations to Sir Herbert Kitch-
ener the sirdar Of the expedition. Maj.
Jackson's battalion has found in the
| desert an enormous quantity of ammu-
nition including a number of boxes Of
Nordenfeld ammunition. which are
known to have belonged to Hicks

The maintenance of the parity Is some
thing not accomplished by law, but,
like everything else relating to value,
depends upon the mental attitude OF
the people. They accept the silver dol
lar today as the equal Of the gold dol
lar, although it's commodity value is
only one-half, because they believe that
the government both can and will pay
the difference on demand They believe
this because the coinage Is limited.
would cease to believe 1t. They would
therefore cease to take the silver dol
lar in future business transactions for
more than its bullion value No law
or declaration or act of legal tender
could possibly change this, because,
while you can rob man by law as to
past transactions. you cannot make him
part with something which he owns
in the future, unless he is satisfied with
what he gets in exchange.
We think it indisputable, there
fore. that from the day
when 1t became certain that
free coinage would be adopted in this
country the silver dollar would pass
only for what the bullion in it Is worth.
and that this result would be accom-
plfshed without the importation of any
foreign silver. although such importa-
ton might take place later Whether
1t would or not is immaterial. The
difference between free coinage under
an International agreement and with
out it does not lie in the fact that I'M
ed into this country, while under the
other it would not, but in the
fact that, if all the commercial
nations Of the world united to accept
silver coins at a certain price, they
might within fixed limits, convince
the common people, the buy
ers and sellers, of their ability to keep
silver at such a price, and so make
them willing, as individuals, to accept
it at that figure.
This is the theory Of international
bimetallism, and, while necessarily ex-
perimental, it is not unreasonable. We
cannot make it too emphatic, however,
that it does not assume the efficacy of
international law to create values any
mere than of national law. It con-
| templates only the difference in the
| effect produced upon the minds of the
masses of people everywhere by an
! international, as opposed to a national
guarantee. Whereas the great majority
Of the people do not believe that the
| United States alone could enact free
| coinage without the depreciation OF
the dollar, they think differently about
| an international agreement. This diff
ference would be reflected in their esti-
| mate of the value of Silver, and its
value is fixed by that estimation.

RUIN AND DIsHoNoR
Would Follow the Retirement of
Gid From Circulation.
To tbe Editor of the Globe

10 the EDITOR or the GIQD6.
After ONE consideration Of the PRINCIPAL
issue involved in this campaign I have come
to the conclusion that the adoption or rejec-
ton Of the Tree coinage Of silver proposition
which I shall hereinafter submit II you
will be pleased to answer it, l think you will
aid many OF your readers, well as myself,
in forming definite opinion as to the merits
Of the present controversy.
1t is, l believe, unanimously conceded that
the free coinage of silver would be advan-
tageous to this country, as well as to others,
IL, by international agreement silver should
be admitted to coinage on precisely the same
terms as gold, at the ratio suggested in the
Chicago platform, or at least at ratio to
be fixed by such agreement. The reason given
for the necessity of such international agree-
ment, as understand It,. Is this: IL we alone
were to throw open our mints to the free
coinage Of silver the other nations of the
world would bring their silver to our minis
and have the same coined into dollars; they
would thereupon liquidate their Indebtedness
to us in the silver dollars SO coined, and
would insist on the settlement Of our indebt-
edness to them in gold; therefore, they would
gradually get all our gold, and we all their
silver; 1t will certainly be conceded that IL
the gold were removed from our currency
national ruin and dishonor would be inev-
table The gold standard advocates also con-
cede that il we have no cause to fear a for
eign deluge of silver, the government could,
without difficulty, maintain the parity be-
tween the two metals, and the addition OF a
large quantity Of silver to our currency 1.-THE

entirely to our advantage They concede this,
1 say because they favor free coinage by
international agreement the result Of which
would be to retain our gold and increase our
silver. Now, then, the question is, have we
cause to fear this foreign deluge OF silver?
IL we have. we cannot countenance free sill
yer; IL we have not, let US have free coinage
by all means. In an extract OF speech de-
livered by Mr.. st. John, he was reported as
saying that the United States export and
for many years past have exported. more sill

MEDICAL USE OF EGGs.-For burns
and scalds there is nothing more
soothing than the white of an egg
which may be poured over the wound
1t is softer, as a varnish for burn,
than collodion, and being always on
hand, can be applied Immediately. II
is also more cooling than the "sweet
oil and cotton" which was formerly
supposed to be the surest application
to allay the smarting pain. 1t is the
contact with the air which gives the
extreme discomfort experienced from
ordinary accidents of this kind, and
anything which excludes air and pre-
vents Inflammation is the best thing to
be applied. The egg is also consider
ed one of the best remedies for dysen'
terry. Beaten up lightly, with or with,
out sugar, and swallowed at a gulp, il
tends by its emollient qualities to
lessen the Inflammation of the stomach
and intestines, and by forming a tran
sient coating for the organs enables
nature to assume her healthy sway
over the diseased body. Two, or, al
the most, three eggs per day would
be all that would be required in ordi'
nary cases, and since the egg is moi
merely medicine, but food as well

FAST WALKING HoRsEs.-One ex-

tells us that any colt may be taught
to be fast walker by little contin-
ued care in handling. A fast walk in

training can acquire. 1t is valuable
in plow horse, in a team horse, and
particularly 80 in driving horse.

but well-trained walker steps of
briskly at the rate of four miles an
hour, and the driver feels that he has
been detained but very little by
letting his horse walk up the hill, as
he starts off at his usual trotting
speed, being relieved by the change OF
walking up the hill.
Colts should be trained to walk fast
before there is any attempt made to
improve them in any other gait. This
may be accomplished by commencing
very young, and leading at walk by
your side, urging additional speed
little by little, without letting it break
into trot ; but this is not to be contin'
