TRANSIENT ADVERTISING: SPACE 1 square ..... $1.00 2 squares ..... $2.00 3 squares ..... $3.00 4 squares ..... $4.00 THE MAHDI Who said that is the subject is a question given very detailed answer has been given by the English press since the figure of this "Moslem Messiah" became so suddenly prominent in the political arena through his triumph over the ill-fated army of Hicks Paaha; yet, in order justly to estimate the character and extent of the influence which such a personage may exert in the East, it is surely important clearly to understand the origin of the idea which he represents and the nature of its reception by the Moslem world. First, it is remarkable that the Mahdi, or "guide," whose figure has become so important in Moslem lands, and so familiar even in the Christian West, is never mentioned in the Koran at all; and although the references to the last judgment in the Suras are numerous and detailed, the eschatology of Islam, and especially the expectations of a time of trouble and of a future prophet, are much later developments of the faith mentioned by commentators and esoteric students who lived in times when the most force and energy of the great wave of Arab conquest had died out, and the expectation of universal power had been disappointed. It is, on the other hand, a mistake to suppose that the dogmas connected with the coming of the Mandi are of Shiah origin, and not accepted by the Sunni sects. The coming again of the twelfth imam, who was an historic personage named El Mahdi, and who died or disappeared in the cave near Baghdad in the ninth century A.D., is indeed an important Shiah belief; but the idea of the imam, a divine incarnation, is distinct from and opposed to the Sunni conception of a predictor "guide" or Mahdi, who is to be a mortal messenger of God, whose coming was foretold, according to the tradition, by Muhammad himself. This distinction it is most important to keep clearly in view. The Smails of Persia represent a population of some fifteen million; the four great Sunni sects together include a total of one hundred and forty-five million souls; and it is to the immense majority of the true believers, and not to the small minority of the Persian seismatics, that the Soudani prophet consequently appeals. Impartial writers are accustomed generally to assume, first, that the Moslem creed is a very pure and elevated monotheistic faith; secondly, that the Moslem world contrasts with the West in the profoundly religious character of its society, including every class; thirdly, that a fanaticism resting solely on religious conviction is to be recognized among Moslems, and forms a very dangerous element of Oriental politics; fourthly, that a religious sympathy exists between the faithful in all lands which may render the triumph of Islam in western Asia a most dangerous circumstance for England in India. The Mahdi, or "guide," as he is called in every season to regard by (who have a special) seems to be dani as an impulse that he may ye dani for trying his fortifications, birth, and he is be thought no Moslems; but she have very little the prestige of general; and no Arab legends (bah), but even Moslem traditions ber Mahdi. The agents wield the Mahdi's suction even as far as Bebre of the derive of the Mahdi been due to derwish ghaziz. The derwish with rules of mystic ceremonies paraphernalia unhostating objection an autocratic chl inspiration. If England is the foreign power as protector, then with equanimity African races fr misrule. Prophets have since Islam was failed generally pressure; but preface Muhammad man of genius will require forces at the center and Baker Pasha triumphant advantage the Mahdi is of the highest edge of his success interest he has him support about the African capitals and the Hejaz javanizationism and have most to fear very human elec- tion Syria.

The GIANT BAKING POWDER is absolutely pure, and contains about one-quarter more gas than any brand of Baking Powder in use on this Coast. Three cans of GIANT BAKING POWDER are equal to four cans of any other brand. Study economy and use none other. Your grocer will furnish you with a sample can free. Try it. FACTS. SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 13, 1883. BOTHIN MANUFACTURING CO., GENTLEMEN: The sample of GIANT BAKING POWDER you handed me, also samples of the following brands of Baking Powders purchased by me in open market, I have tested for total quantity of available gas, with results as follows: GIANT 196 cubic inches per ounce avolrdupois. ROYAL, 139 cubic inches. NEW ENGLAND, 110 cubic inches. PIONEER, 107 cubic inches. GOLDEN GATE, 107 cubic inches. DR. PRICE'S, 90 cubic inches. You're respectfully, THOMAS PRICE, Chemist. SAN FRANCISCO Sept. 24, 1883. H. R. BOTHIN, President Bothin Manufacturing Co. DEAR SIR: After a careful and complete chemical analysis of a can of GIANT BAKING POWDER, purchased by us in open market, we find that it does not contain alum, acid phosphate, terra alba, or any injurious substances, but is a pure, healthful Cream Tartar Baking Powder, and as such can recommend it to consumers.

DOUGLASS, M.D. APPLE ALBA, M.D. MANUFACTURED BY THE BOTHIN MANUFACTURING COMPANY 17 AND 19 MAIN ST., SAN FRANCISCO FOR SALE BY ALL DEALERS A massacre of the news, an invasion of Syria by the great giants (Gog and Magog), who are to drink dry the Sea of Galilee, a smoke which shall fill the world, a relapse of Arabia into paganism, the discovery of had treasures in Euphrates, the destruction of the Kaaba by negroes, beasts and stones speaking with human voices, a fire in Yemen, a man of the sons of Kahtan wielding a rod, and an ice wind from Damascus which shall sweep away the souls of all who have faith as a grain of mustard seed, and blow to heaven the Koran itself; these are the great wonders which, together with the coming of the Mahdi, will prepare the way for the tremendous Yom el Din, or final day of judgment. The educated student, that is to say the man who can write, can read the Koran, and recite the principal portions, cannot fail to be aware that intolerance and fanatical bate of the unbeliever were never countenanced by Muhammad. He cannot but recall the words of the Koran, which declare that every nation shall be judged by God from its own book. "Whoso beherveth in God and in the last day, and doeth that which is right, upon them shall no fear come, neither shall they be put to shame" (Sura v. 73). Such was the Prophet's judgment with regard to Jews, Christians and Sabians—those, in fact, to whose sacred literature his own beliefs were so deeply indebted. Yet in spite of the tolerance of the Koran, and the practice of the early khalifa, it cannot be denied that fanatical feeling is strongest among the educated Moslem classes, although it may perhaps be doubted how far race hatred, and the sense of injury due to foreign oppression, may really account for a sullenness which is generally attributed to a religious hate. The danger of the Mahdi's triumph is thus political rather than purely religions, and it is the desperation which arises from the oppression of Arab races by the Turks that we have to fear rather than the fanatical zeal of united Islam. Arabia has long meditated revolt, Syria has long groaned under the rule of fierce Kurdish administrators, and in the army of the Mahdi they perceive a possible nucleus of resistance, by aid of which they may hope to shake off the hated yoke of Turkish authority. The Mahdi in the Soudan has personally shown himself tolerant towards Christian missionaries and captives, however brutal his wild Berbers may be in the hour of victory. As far as we are able yet to judge we may have to deal not with a blind fanatic, but with an able and calculating leader, whose warlike capabilities may be equalled by his political foresight. At present we know little, but when he has advanced nearer to civilization his success will mainly depend on his strength and wisdom of his personal charmeter. That he is the ally, if not no money in it. Ochlitree's last Said her: "Mr. mankind in genius oppression on the general," when she seat by a friend you'd better store same hole you would at Waz music of the futur sentation of ones he had used to friends called "Oh" replied her want to I know as well as others.

An Astronomer homme, on leave says to a friend time I direct my day representative What do you sue dear M. Prudhb stars only shine? On the morning candidate for this friends. "Allow me to cease that you have elected." "This a month ago, but now it looks impossible! You thing since!" The nominee of the slave-traders there is every reason to believe; that he is favorably regarded by the Meccan religious leaders (who have a special interest in slave-training) seems to be indicated by the reported reinsal of the sheriff to denounce the Soudani as an impostor. It is not impossible that he may yet make his way to the holy city, and set Arabia and Syria in flames before trying his strength against the Amouan fortifications. True, he is not an Arab by birth, and he is of a black hue, which might be thought unacceptable by the Seutic Moslems; but such traditional considerations have very little weight in comparison with the prestige of his victory over an English general; and not only the favorite heroes of Arab legends (Antar, and Zir, and Jandabah), but even Moses himself, according to Moslem tradition, was as black as the Berber Mandi. The agents who have spread the news of the Mahdi's success in Africa, in Arabia, and even as far as Euphrates, appear to be members of the derwish orders, and the victories of the Mahdi seem in part at least to have been due to the blind devotion of his derwish ghazis. The derwish orders are secret societies, with rules of initiation, oaths of obedience, mystic ceremonials and symbols, and all the paraphernalia of organizations which demand unheasant obedience to the commands of an autocratic chief believed to act by divine inspiration. If England is prepared to substitute for the foreign power of Turkey her own power as protector, then no doubt she may witness with equanimity the revolt of the Arab and African races from the tyranny of Turkish misrule. Prophets have arisen in every country since Islam was first promulgated, and have failed generally to produce any lasting impression; but prophets came and failed before Muhammad succeeded, and if the strong man of genius be again come to Islam, it will require something stronger than the forces at the command of General Gordan and Baker Pasha to stop the course of his triumphant advance. In the derwish organization the Mahdi possesses a power which is of the highest value in spreading a knowledge of his success, and in the slave-trading interest he has a strength which will win him support along the whole line whereby the African captives are led through Mecca and the Hajjaz to the north. It is not then fanaticism and religious pretensions that we have most to fear in the Mahdi, but the very human element of his influence over the wild populations of Africa, Arabia and Syria. FUNNY GRAPHS. A facetious swell who danced with a couple of Chicago girls recently, remarked that although he liked rings on his fingers, THE SPOOPENDYKES TAKE A BIRD HUNT. "Say, my dear," said Mr. Spoopendyke, as he drew a gun from the case and eyed it critically, "I want you to wake me up early in the morning. I'm going shooting." "Isn't that too sweet!" ejaculated Mrs. Spoopendyke. "I'll wear my new dress and my Saratoga waves. Where do we go?" "I'm going down on the island, and you'll probably go as far as the front door," grunted Mr. Spoopendyke. "Women don't go shooting. It's only men. All you've got to do is to wake me up and get breakfast. When I come home we'll have some birds." "Won't that be nice?" chimed Mrs. Spoopendyke. "Can you catch birds with that thing?" and Mrs. Spoopendyke fluttered around the improved breech-loading shotgun, firmly impressed with the idea that it was some kind of a trap. "I can kill 'em with that," exclaimed Mr. Spoopendyke. "That is a gun; it isn't a nest with three speckled eggs in it, nor is it a barn with a hole in the roof. You stick your cartridge in here and pull this fingerpiece and down comes your bird every time." "Well, isn't that the greatest thing! I suppose you don't want a partridge; you can stick a duck or turkey in that end, too, or a fish or a lobster, and bring it down just as quick." "Yes, and you can stick a house or corn field, or a dod-gasted female idiot in there, too, if you want to!" shorted Mr. Spoopendyke. "Who said anything about a partridge! It's a cartridge that goes there." "Oh!" ejaculated Mrs. Spoopendyke, rather crestfallen. "I see now. Where does the bird go?" "He goes to night school if he hasn't got any more sense than you have!" snorted Mr. Spoopendyke. "Look here, now, and I'll show you how it works," and Mr. Spoopendyke, whose ideas of a gun were as vague as those of his wife, inserted the cartridge halfway in the muzzle end, and cautiously cocked the weapon. "And when the bird sees that he comes and pecks at it. Isn't that the funniest?" and Mrs. Spoopendyke clapped her hands in the enjoyment of her discovery. "Then you put out your hand and catch him." "You've struck it!" nowled Mr. Spoopendyke, who had the hammer on the half cock, and was vainly pulling at the trigger to get it down. "That's the idea! All you need is four feathers and a gas bill to be a martingale! With your notions you only want a new stock and a steam trip hammer to be a needle gun! Don't you know the dod-gasted thing has got to go off before you get a bird? You shoot the birds, you don't wait for 'em to shoot you!" "At home we used to chop the heads off with an ax," faltered Mrs. Spoopendyke. "So would I if I was going after measly old hens," retorted Mr. Spoopendyke, who LUMBER YARD PLANING, SAWING AND MOULDING MILLS OF Saxton & Cox Anaheim, NEAR THE RAILROAD DEPOT AllVarieties of Pine, Redwood,and Sprue LUMBER Doors,Sashes,and Blinds,Grape Boxes,Fruit Boxes,Bee-Hives,and Fruit Dryers.

A tacetious swell who danced with a couple of Chicago girls recently, remarked that although he liked rings on his fingers, he could not stand belles on his toes. It is said that color blindness is almost unknown among women. This explains why a wife can detect the approach of a rich coloring on the tip of her husband's nose. Sunday-School Teacher (to bright boy) — "Now, Tommy, what is the outward and visible sign of baptism? Bright boy—'The baby, marm.' (Sunday-school teacher blushes and boys snigger.)" A young woman's club, in Tennessee, has adopted a motto: "Total Alistinence or No Husbands." This is a wise move. There has been entirely too much drinking on the part of women lately. The Boston Herald tells of a dog that chased a fox and didn't come home for two days. But as he eventually did come home we don't see as the owner has anything to congratulate himself upon. "That woman over there," said Dumpsey to Pophijay, in an awed whisper, "has taken nine lives!" "You don't say so?" exclaimed Popinjay. "Yes," said Dumpsey, "she been married nine times." Matthew Arnold has made a large collection of memoranda on the queer social distinctions of the United States. He has probably noticed that a Philadelphia girl wouldn't speak to a New York young lady because the latter's father was so very, very rich. At the dentist's, "Monsieur, you have made me a set of false teeth." "I know it," replies the dentist. "You promised me that they would be exactly like natural ones." "Certainly." "Well, your false teeth make me suffer terribly." "And consequently they imitate nature all the more." It isn't to be wondered at that there are so many color-blind people in the world, when we consider that some of the new colors are burned cream, baked pears, crushed raspberry, scorched banana, speckled greenage and terra cotta, elephant's breath, monkey's smile and canary bird's gasp. Chicago is stronuous that all delegates to her convention shall be unpledged. Somehow or other the Chicago people have got an idea that the term "unpledged" has something to do with temperance, and they are naturally much alarmed. A convention of pledged delegates, they think, would have no money in it. Ohh!tree's last speech was not a success. Said he: "Mr. Speaker, the generality of mankind in general are disposed to exercise oppression on the generality of mankind in general," when he was pulled down to his seat by a friend, with the remark: "Tom you'd better stop; you are coming out of the same hole you went in at." A hit at Wagner: Auber did not like the music of the future.

After the first representation of one of his later works in which he had used the new forms, one of his friends called his attention to the fact. "Oh!" replied the witty old man, "when I want to know how to make tiresome music as well as other composers." "I called for my money." said a miserable creditor to his tough debtor. "All right," responded the other, cheerfully. "If there is any of your money here you had better lock it up and take it away with you, for if I happened to find it I should be tempted to keep it. I haven't got a cent." A correspondent asks if it is healthy to sleep between feathers. It is, sir, decidedly healthy. The chicken of the early spring, which you eat at your boarding-house, slept all its life between feathers, and have you not noticed that it is healthy, tough, robust and of iron frame. Alas, it is too healthy! The two-headed girl got mad at her manager in a museum the other day, and turned loose on him with both of her tongues. The human curiosities all fainted, the animals in the cages tried to get away, and a Chicago man stood and listened a moment, smiled sociably and said: "With a little more practice, I'd back her agin my old woman." "Yes," she said to her escoort as they glided around the rink. "I do love roller skating. When we are sailing around this way, my very soul seems to be floating away toward heaven, and—" By some mistake in the program at this point, both of her soles floated away toward heaven, while the rest of her amote the earthly floor with a mighty smile. An Astronomical Reason: M. Prudhomme, on leaving a matinee performance, says to a friend, "It is curious that each time I direct my footsteps into one of these day representations I never see the star. What do you suppose is the reason?" "My dear M. Prudhomme, you know that the stars only shine in the night!" On the morning of an academic election a candidate for the vacant chair meets one of his friends. "My dear," says the friend, "allow me to congratulate you: it appears that you have every chance of being elected." "That is to say that I had them a month ago, at the time I made my visits, but now it looks doubtful." "How so? It's impossible! You haven’t published anything since!" The Oldest Building. Frederick E. Westbrook, of Kingston, N.Y., advertises for sale the oldest public building in the United States. It was erected in 1675 by Colonel Wessel Ten Breeck, and was used as a Senate chamber in 1776. It was there the first constitution of the State of New York was adopted. That year a portion of the woodwork was destroyed by fire, but was repaired, since which time it has remained without material change. The front walls are of stone, two feet thick, while the rear wall is of brick imported from Holland. The property has never been sold, having descended from the original owner to Mr. Westbrook, who is a lineal descendant of the first Ten Broeck family that came to this country. The Black Kearney. New York, April 4. — A special from Columbia, S.C., says: John Smith of Georgia, the negro who has been inciting the colored men of that State to rise and massacre all the whites and appropriate all their property, has been flooding South Carolina with confidential circulars addressed to negroes, urging them to join in a general uprising and kill the whites. He says that Grant is raising funds in the North and will send an army to help the negroes. His statements have great weight with the negroes in Georgia and the authorities are badly frightened. Petaluma, Cal., April 5. — James Renfroe, convicted some 14 years ago, on circumstantial evidence, of murdering a man named Wilson, on a ranch near Guerneville, this county, has had his life sentence commuted by Governor Stoneman, yesterday, to 21 years. It now transpires that Renfroe has received a sufficient number of credits for meritorious conduct to entitle him to a deduction of 7 years of this sentence, and he will consequently be a free man on the 9th of this month.
