The English Whip the Arab. Lokdok, March 20. General Gra ham telegraphs as follews: Hasheek, March 20, 3:30 p. m. -We moved out from camp at G:15 this morning, leaving the bhropshire regi ment to guard it On reaching the first hill at 820 a. m., we found the enemy had retired and occupied an other hill a mile and a quarter dis tant. After a short halt the Berk shire regiment and the marines were ordered to clear the hill, the Indian contingent and the guards support ing. This was done very effectually, the enemy being driven off the ridge and streaming south towards Tamai, where they were charged by squad rons of thelndian lancers in the bush. The cavalry then retired towards the guards. Many of the enemy passed the guards at the foot of the hill, and made for a hill west of Hasheen. These were shelled by the royal horse artillery, while other parties moving round our right were engaged in the bush by fifty lancers. Meanwhile a zareba, with four iu- trenched posts on a hill commanding, were being formed. The advauced troops have all returned to this posi tion, and will return to our camp, leaving the East Surry regiment, with two Krupp guns and four Gardners. and water tanks and signal appliances at the intrenched position. Our killed are two officers, and two men of the British, and five Sepoys. The wounded are two officers and twenty-six men of the British, aud one officer and ten men of the Indian contingent. The infantry behaved with great steadiness. The number of rebels is estimated at 4,000. The rebel loss is not known, but was heavy. The engagement lasted five hours. The Arabs carried off all their dead and wounded. Natives report that numbers of Os man Digma's men are deserting, hav ing become disheartened. To-day's fighting was noticeably of a different character from that of any preceding engagement The Arabs maintained a steady rifle fire, retiring slowly from each position held by them, and avoid ing close quarters. Suakem, March 20 The battle be tween the British troops and Osman Digina lasted five hours. The ma rines were first sent to the front to drive tho Arabs from the hills west of Hasheen. As soon as possible they were reinforced by batteries of Gard ner and Krupp guns and by cavalry. There was a hot engagement for a few hours, during which the British cavalry charged repeatedly upon the Arabs, while machine guns were worked with deadly effect whenever their fire could be made available. Great bravery was displayed on both sides during the engagement. The Arabs retreated slowly toward Tamai. The Arab loss in killed and wounded is estimated at GOO. The loss of the British is forty. The Arabs displayed desperate braver'. The marines drove the Arabs from the hills, and forced them to retire to tho plain. Then the Indian troops charged tho Arab position, but were outflanked, and an unsuspected body of Arabs succeeded in getting behind their lines. The Indians found themselves between two fires and fled. Darin g their retreat they were closely pressed by Arabs who hamstrung their horses and speared the riders. The Bengal ese fell back in confusion upon the English infantry, and the guards, who had been formed into a hollow square, leisurely retired, while the Arabs were yelling that they had re gained their lost position. At this juncture the artillery .came to the res cue, and a brisk fire of small shot from the machine guns and shells from the Krupp field mortars drove the Arabs from their positions. The marines maintained steady fir ing throughout the engagement, hut the honors of the day are probably due to the Irish lancers, who changed tho tide of battle by a desperate charge, and retrieved the fortunes of General Graham's command when they seemed almost hopeless. The British troops have returned to their former camp near Suakem. Blood! Blood! Blood! Yes, "blood!

The j great religious wave now sweeping iover this section recently struck j Mohii3ville, a small village of this i county. AmQiig The persons just ! converted was Miss Elizabeth Metz, a respectable young woman of this place. She was thrown into a tramv. from which she did not recover for over twenly-four hours. Her resi dence has since been visited by hnu dredfjfrom the country round about. to whom she tells wonderful stories of all she saw and heard while her body remained on earth. It is claimed that her soul took us upward flight for a brief period into heaven, where it was permitted to remain just long enough to gaze upon all its glories. She claims to have seen the face3 of friends long since dead. The period that she was in this state is a blank to her. Miss Metz regrets that she was not allowed to remain in this beau tiful place, as she wonld sooner be there than in this-pold, restless world. She says that she rested in Abraham's bosom; that all about her was filled with millions upon millions of happy beings, whose faces bore no traces of sorrow or woe, but, on the other hand, wore lit up with the most beautiful and happy expressions. In this etherial space she met friends who had been dead for years, and their only occupation seemed, to be to sing sougs of praise and to play upon their golden harps, bhe was also permitted to gaze into an awful black pit, which wnsiull of writhing human beings, all in a seething fire, whoso faces bore evidence of the fearful pain they were undergoing. She says that no one can now con vince her that there is no hell, but that, on the other hand, she believes tliat there is such a place. Many persons have been impressed bv the story oflier brief sojourn in the up per world. The priucipal object seems to be to breed a cow that is the best for milk, butter and beef combined, which is as hard a job a3 it is to breed a horse for the draj", farm and race course all in one. Some object to the Jersey because she is too small to turn into beef when she is too old" to milk. Now, then, it is generally admitted that the Jersey will make two pounds of butter a week more than most of the large breeds," if not all Allowing such to be the case, which my ex e rience teaches me it is, two pounds of butter a week at 2. cents per pound would be 50 cents a week for, say, the first six months and one pound a week for the next three months would make it SlG.2o in a year; allowing each to be milked ten years, would make $102.50 in favor of the Jersey for butter. At this age put lxth up to fat aud the Jersey will dress 500 pounds and the larger Cow 800, mak ing 300 pounds of beef to offset $162. 50 for butter, which makes pretty dear beef, does it not? This is allow ing it costs as much to keep a small cow as a large one. fccoltH Itotulniois of Pure Coil Liver Oil, with Hypo phosphite. Especially Deairahlcfor Children. A .Lady physician at tin Child's Hos pital, at Albany, X. Y., says: "We have been using Scott's Emulsion with ffreat success.nearlj' all of our patients are suffering from hone diseases and our physicians find it very beneficial.' Parties from the San Juan islands bring a curious story of the compli cations growing out of the contest filed by Dr. Jordan and his associates against the lime quarries. The lands are now held by parties under home stead and timber land laws and many of the quarries have been worked for years, the owners supposing they had clear title to their possessions. The contestors allege a right to the lime ledges uuder the mineral laws and are confident of acquiring possession. Pending the trial of the cause the feeling is running high. The lime men on the islands are said to have banded themselves together for forci ble resistance against any attempt to oust them. They openly threaten to shoot the first man who attempts to take possession of any quarry, and it is not improbable that thev would do it. Mr. John T. Bruce, Lexington, Ky.. says: For seven years 1 suffered terribly with rheumatism in my right ankle, which was so swollen 1 could not put my foot to the ground. I tried nearly everything without re lief, then made two or three applica tions with St. Jacobs Oil, when the pain was cured entirely aud has never returned.
