'Xhe watt who noiv confronts lite! British in the Soudau vras maJo a ; Khouan, or brother preacher, of tbe; oriler of Sid Abd-el-Kader about J twenty years a;o; five years aif-i he1 was elected by the council of the or-! der to take command of the army in j the south. He was thereupon pro claimed JfaJul ime (sublime), "the arm j of the Almiglity," and invested with j absolute authority over the faithful, whom ho promptly invited to joiu his j totcen under penalty of death. Ilia ! ine is .Mohammed Ahmed. Ife wa3 bum in Jiougola, Kubia. alnrnt 1S40, and was educated at a re!ijFous school near Khartoum. El Mahdi proclaimed his call to fulfill the prophecy touching the com ing prophet of the south, and began to organize an army in 1S81. The governor-general of Khartoum com manded him to disavow his preten sions, and sent a small force against him to enforce the command. These theMahdi soon defeated and dis persed. A second detachment met the same fate; then a column under lle3chid Bey was destroyed to the last man. The following January he intercepted an Egyptian corps, on the way to Khrrtoum, and killed them all; in'June, he annihilated another; and still another(under Yusef Pacha) in July. In every case the captured soldiers of the- khedive were given to the spears; native soldiers were ab sorbed into his own army when it suited his purpose. The next year El Muhdi overcame the Egyptian garrisons at El Obeid. the capital of Khrdofan, and killed them all, with the European- officers in command. As a rule, Christian and Egyptian civilians, with their women and children, shared the fate of the garrisons. From El Obeid the Mahdi invaded Darfur, but returned to his capital' to meet the Egyptian annv which had been . sent against him under General Hicks. TIkj in Taders to the number of 11,000 were surrounded, and mercilessly slaugh tered. This m the fore part of jho vember 18S3. Last year he wiped out the Ecvnliau garrisons along the Nile, aboTe and below Khartoum, which stronghold was closely invest ed and at last captured, despite the heroic defense of General Gordon. With tho fall of these fortified ioss, particularly Khartoum, the Mahdi has come into possession of steamers, cannon, rifles, ammunition, and other military stores, in quantity sufiicicnt for a severe and protracted campaign; and tho failure and retreat of the British relief expeditious -if uothiug worse than failure berall3 tliem com pletes tLe record of his military suc cesses, and necessarily adds much to his prestige as prophet and warrior. "What the issno will be, time only can determine. False prophet or true prophet, El Mahdi commands the sit uation; and unless Great Britain is prepared to absorb Egypt and the boudan, and undertake to establish au Ethiopian India in the heart of Africa, any attempt to punish him in Nubia or to dispute his pretensions in the boudan will cost more than it will come to. The New York HeraliFa London correspondent has interviewed a thoughtful ton' who summed npEng land's crisis as follews: "It means that Irish disloyalty is more rampant than ever; that bouth Africa is in con fusion ;!that chaos is in Egypt; that Granville and Bismarck are fighting a diplomatic duel; that the British army is locked up in Soudan and that the sultan is holding the key; that Bussia is at India's gates and that the ameer is holding their keys; that the dynamiters are planning more earth quakes and that the increasein the army means an increase in the income of the tea and tobacco tax. There is no crisis in America except the office seeker's crisis. I think if aliens were allowed to hold lands I should not seek an election in parliament, but would start a cattle ranoh. If silver ceases to be coined iu the United States, India will sutler from deep financial distress. Your new secre tary of the 'treasury, being a bank president, will doubtless press silver demonetization on congress. On the whole, therefore, let me add lo the crisis the possible bankruptcy of In dia, which last year paid this country iu interest on debt and military charges S20,000,000 of goldv ri'eV la tbe Kb mi There are many people who feel like old street-car horses, and would like to be allowed to lie down and die. These people might as well be made strong and well. Miss S. E. Little, of Jefferson, Mo., writes, "I have found Browns Iron Bitters very strengthening, and most excel lent for dyspepsia, and I have got others to try it with good results.' No use of being weak when this valuable medicine will make you staong. The Oregon. Pacific will soon be ready for traffic. Newport has two stores and three dwelling houses iu course of construction. At Yaquina city, the terminus of the road, the steamship Yaquina is lying at tho dock awaiting orders. The supposi tion is that she will connect with the railroad as soon as it is ready and will carry freight and passengers to and from San Irancisco.

If General "Wolseley is not actually in the saddle, he is at least able jo be there. Hp send word to the govern ment that his eyesight i3 unimpaired. his general health good, and his faie; set toward Khartoum, rle does not propose to visit any of the cities on j the Ked sea or the .Mediterranean mi- j iu lie nas seen me interior 01 rvuar toum. l'robablv General A .Isi.'Iey understands that to return hoinei without having taken Kharfonni would be fatal to his reputation as n general. Since his failure to relieve General Gordon, tho discovery has been made that he is not'much of a general after all. The campaign against Arabia, with the fleet at his right hand and ouly an undisciplined crowd of Egyptians in front, hardly formed the kind of material of which great aiilitary reputations are made. His other campaigns have been too nearly of the same character to es tablish a record that could stand a reverse without damage. General Wolseley certainly made a mistake in naming the date when he would be in Khartoum. That kind of thing sounds too much like a French romance. He could not more than guess at the mouth, and when he fixed the day in the month he assumed a precision that is not even given to greater en erals than he. But "Wolseley belongs to a race that has never been accused of a want of pluck. He will hardly return to England without having taken Khartoum, unless -the govern ment concludes that some other gen eral could set to Khartoum sooner than he. It quickens the patriotic pride of the "American," a3 all citizens of the united States are called probably because the states are the best of America -to find the much abused greenback commanding the highe?t premium of nny money in Havana, being worth raore than the notes of the Bank of Lnglaud, or even Uncle Sam's gold. For an American paper dollar you can get 82.50 of Cuban cur rency, aud 81.10 in Spanish gold, while our gold coins are valued at 82.47 in paper and S1.07 in Spanish gold. "American silver is accepted in about the same rates. A visitor to! Havana no longer wonders what be comes of our coins with holes punched in them. They are plenty here.; About hall the silver coinage onegeto is of the sort repudiated by American street car csnductors. When the bankers iu the states combined to drive ont mutilated coin, the object of their distrust found a welcome asy lum in Cuba, aud was shipped here by the Ifcat load, and the Cuban shop keeper will bow and scrape liko a dancing master at the sight of a hand ful of punched and clipped American coins. tScott'n Kmulrtion of I'ure Cod Iilvrr OH, with IlypophOrtphllen.
