THE MoHAMMeoAN MESSIAH.
Belief OF tho Faithful Regarding His
Second Coming

Second Coming.
According to tradition, the true Mahdi
will he preceded by GO forerunners-
John Baptists or Eliases-called Babs.
Dab means the door. through which
enters Messiah).
As rule. those holy personages-Ule-
mas. or descendants of the prophet, who
end By setting up themselves as the
Messiah-begin by calling themselves
only cabs. or doors. and if they meet
with success ond arc accepted. they then
pose as the actual Mahdi.
As TO the Babsm Of recent times, this
is its simple origin:
About SO years ago young native of
ShiraZ named Mira Ali Mohammed was
the fayorite pupil of d celebrated sheikh,
who was looked Upon as sort of Bah,
or forerunner Of the Mahdi. After he
died his young pupil Mira Ali No.
BANNED. announced himself as also a
Bah. He was soon surrounded with
disciples. His popularity alarmed the
reigning shah. lie was arrested and
kept in prison for some time, but as his
followers increased in numbers, the Ule-
mas thought it prudent to condemn him
10 death by torture. The subsequent
massacre of the Babs is a matter of re-
cent history.
The Cabs that were left, inspired by
thirst for vengeance, now plotted the
assassination of the shah, and each at
tempt has been followed by more Bab
massacres. Now you have the key of
the situation.
The late shah succumbed at last to
one of these assassfns. who had unsuc-
cessfully attempted his destruction sew
eral times before. The Bah, young
Mira, was not highly educated per-
son, but very proud, and of irreproach-
able life. He was not otherwise re-
markablc, but possessed of a strange
faculty of writing with extreme speed,
(you would call it medidnistic writing.
an accomplishment considered miracu-
lous by our ndepts.) Still he wrote little
about his doctrine or his person-but
after his death his apostles made a
Nahdi OF him. and from that to divine
incarnation was n step easily nccom-
plishcd, as we have seen illustrated in
your own Christian religion. To Mahd-
ism were soon joined mysticism and
pantheism. which have always DOM
mated the philosophic instincts Of the
Iranian peoples. If you want to under
stand present Persian politics. you must
bear in mind that Irania (Persia) has
like Babism which are called Soufi
! hakera Sheikhi babfs. etc.--Conten-

facts 10y Col. J. II. Burns, of Deadwood.
but was inclined to take the colonel's
statement with a grain or two OF salt,
as the colonel is an enthusiastic cham
pion of the Indian. The figures of DIR.
O'ney, however, arc even more start

Judge Burns.
There are confined in the psnitcntiary

who have been confined in the peDi-
