An English victory In the soudan

The depressing news received in Eng
land from the seat of war in South Africa
has been offset to some extent by the an
nouncement of the utter rout of the Der
wishes in the Soudan by the Anglo. Egyp-
tan forces and the death of the Khalifa
with 400 of his men and the capture of
many prisoners. The hard fought battle
occurred at Abu Aadil, 80 miles southwest
of Abba Island, where the Mahdi was born
and whence he set out on his victorious ca
reer. The chief importance of this victo-
ry is the impression it will make upon the
many thousands of Arabs in Kordofan
whom the Khslifa for year past has been
trying to rally to his standard. Twice this
year, in May and September, he advanced
far toward the Nile, only to retreat again
to the western mountains. In September
the Egyptian cavalry left the Nile to give
him battle, but when they reached Jebel
Gedir, where he had been abiding, the bird
had flown. The cavalry returned to the
Nile, not having supplies for an indefinite
chase over the steppes in southern Kordo-
fan. Thereupon the Khalifa was embold-
ened to advance a part of his force to the
Nile region again, aud it has now met a
crushing defeat.

VERMONT NEWS.
The Trees Of Vermont.
An Interesting Bulletin from the Bur-
IIngton ExperIment StntInn.

An Interesting Bulletin from the BUR-
lington Experiment station.
Vermont is richly wooded area This
is true both as to the number and the vari-
ETY. OF its trees. Seventy-five kinds grow
wild within our borders, and many more
thrive under cultivation. Most of the ma
tive or wild trees are of common occur
nce;6O of the75have been found within easy
walking distance of the university at Bur
lington
Much of Vermont's wealth is directly or
indirectly dependent upon its trees. Its
growing Iame as region of summer homes
Is largely because of its attractive trees
and forests. Moreover, this state is pecul-
lar IN that the tree-covered areas are on
the increase. 1t is we'll that this is so.
for trees of the right kind are the most
profitable crop that can be grown on con-
siderable portion of the hills and mount
aims. The intelligent fostering of this tree
growth and the appreciation of its beauty
as well as OF its value, is in a considerable
measure dependent upon discriminating
acquaintance with the different kinds of
trees found in our forests.
In order to aid in this the Vermont ex-
pertinent station has just issued an attrac-
i've bulletin on the trees of the state. In
this each kind is described and the main
facts are stated regarding its occurrence
and value. The primary aim is, however,
to enable the reader to identify the various
trees with certainty. To aid in this accu-
rate illustrations of the leaf or other parts
are given for each species
The bulletin is especially intended for the
use OF the public school teachers as an aid
In nature study. A familiar acquaintance
with the common trees and other plants of
the neighborhood, together with their gem
eral character and uses, should be, and be-
fore long will be, an essential part of the
education of every school boy and school
girl. The bulletin will, however, be of in
terest to all observers of our trees, and like
all the station publications will be sent free
to any one who wishes it. Requests for
this bulletin should be sent to the expert
ment station at Burlington.

Henry D. Lloyd In the December Atlantic,l
The crow in New Zealand strikes as
sweet note as any heard in the woodland.
The robin has no song and no red breast;
the native hen is the greatest of rat killers;
there is a caterpillar which turns into a
plant These and some other productions
of nature have done for New Zealand
what the kangaroo and the Ornithorhyn-
chus have done for Australia, given it
the suggestion of oddly and the marvel
GUS. Rabbits and sweetbriers, introduced
for pleasure, spread like wild6re, and it is
an attraction to be duly advertised in the
sale of land that it has been cleared of
sweetbrier and fenced against rabbits; and
then later, the rabbit becomes profit in
stead of a pest, and is exported by millions
to feed the English.

Samoan Treaty Declined by United
States.

The United States has declined to accept
the agreement as TO the disposition of the
Samoan islands reached by Great Britain
and Germany. 1t is said that the fact does
not indicate serious hitch in the negotia-
tions, the reasons which influenced the
state department at Washington in reject
ing the British German arrangement when
it was submitted for approval relating en-
tirely to minor matters and touching rather
upon the form than the substance of the
arrangement. Having rejected the tenta-
tive treaty submitted by the other two
powers, our government has in turn, and
at the instance of the other parties, pre-
pared and submitted draft of treaty
which it is hoped will be acceptable to all
three powers. This is now before the
foreign offices at London and Berlin for
consideration.

NEW HAMPSHIRE NOTES.
Fire Loss Of 10000 at Keene.

The big wooden playhouse of the Beaver
mills company at Keene was burned Friday
morning with about 400 cords of finished
slaves. The alarm was rung in about
O'Clock and the entire fire department was
kept busy until after daylight. Work in
the pail factory will have to be discontin-
ued until a new playhouse is built. The
building was two stories high, and 40 feet
long. The cause of the fire is supposed to
have been spontaneous combustion. Fitch
burg railroad employees heard an explosion
in the direction of the dry-honse about
12:45 o'clock. The loss is estimated at fully
$40, 900; insurance on building and stock
$500.

A Revolutionary Relic,

Gen. L. G. Kingsley has just come into
the possession of an interesting revolution
airy relic in the shape of an old flint-lock
double-barrelled pistol. The pistol was dug

by on the farm of William Marshall, about
a mile and half north of Schuylerville,

four inches in length and both are still
loaded. The stock has rotted away and
the iron lis badly rusted. Gen Kingsley
will place the pistol in the memorial hall
collection. - Rutland Herald.
