GLIMPSES OF THE SOUDAN. Suddenly all eyes have been fixed on the Soudan. It is only a short white since that any adventurous traveller might have joined some trading expedition and seen for himself its wild people, its tropical vegetation, its rare animals; after what has now passed years will probably elapse before a Christian will venture to cross its borders. First among the races mentioned come the Nubians. Their country has not flourished under Egyptian rule, and is so depleted by emigration that much of the land formerly cultivated is now allowed to lie idle. "To escape from the intolerably heavy taxation, the young men leave their homes, usually for Khartoum, where they take service as soldiers in the merchant service and act as escort to the southward-bound caravans. When money is plentiful with the merchants they are well paid; at other times share of cattle or slaves, the plunder after a raid on some unfriendly tribe, is their reward. They are all Maenonites, and will not touch the cigar of the Christian, from an idea that the tobacco has been soaked in spirits. In the same way they will not eat preserves, which they believe to be mixed with the fat of the unclean animal, or cheese, which they imagine to be made of its milk. The spirit merissa presents a temptation which they are unable to resist. They are proud of having abandoned heathenism and of their belief in one God. "Allah is enough for us now," they say, but their belief is also strong in witches and in the evil eye and in the luck of beginning anything on a Wednesday or Saturday. They think that to eat the liver of a vanquished foe will inspire courage, but they cut off and reject the tip of any animal's tongue that is put before them; for it is not now, as in the days of St. James, the seat of all evil, a fire, a world of iniquity? They entertain a superstitious reverence for the fakirs or priests of Darfoor, who are supposed to have the power of rendering bullet wounds innocuous. Zebebr, to whom the command of the army in the Soudan was lately given, to happiness in the eyes of the Dyoor. The country of the Bongos is about as large as Belgium. They take much pains about the tillage of their fields, though when blessed with a good harvest, they are often improvident enough to use so much of the grain for making beer that it fails as food, and they have to live on roots and balbs till harvest time comes round again. The country is fertile and well watered, many streams pass through it, and though no rains fall from November till March, they may say with the Irish, "A drought never ruined the country yet," for it is from too much moisture rather than from too little that they have ever suffered. The costume consists of a branch or a bunch of grass. All have a taste for music, and contentedly strum for hours on nondescript instruments. The Mittee had only submitted to Egypt in 1867. Their district is wonderfully fertile, requiring little beyond the proverbial "tuckling with a straw." They are like the comics, a feeble folk, of little value as slaves on account of the want of strength in the men and the want of beauty in the women. Their costume is of the simplest; the women gather themselves a fresh garment in the forest each day, and the men attire themselves in the meagre but more durable dress of a skim. In one art, that of music, they excel all their neighbors. The soul of music is in them. Their instruments are brought to great perfection: of these the chief are lyres, with sounding-boards, and flutes of the European pattern. They also have an idea of melody. The Niam-Niam, a wild and warlike race, are inhabiting a country of tropical luxuriance. They are mighty men of valor in the chase, and are rapidly exterminating the elephants of Central Africa. The soil is fertile, and a third of its produce is devoted to the breweries, where excellent bitter beer is made. They use many weapons, lances and sickle-bladed knives and trumbushes, a kind of boomerang with mischievous-looking iron prongs and points. Without the skill of the Mittee, they are very fond of music; they will play all day and night without any difficulty. DYNAMITE SHOT WITH A POPGUN. Three shots, one with a projectile weighing nineteen pounds and two with projectiles weighing seventeen pounds each, were fired across the Narrows from Fort rhamilton to Fort Wadsworth with the new dynamite air gun. The gun is merely a seamless brass tube a quarter of an inch thick and forty feet long, with a four-inch smooth bore. The propelling power is simply an air compressor, supplying about five hundred pounds pressure to the square inch. The projectiles used were four feet long. They were loaded with lead instead of dynamite, and feathered with a stick of wood not unlike a brass-covered base ball bat. This gun is the invention of D. M. Meford, W. A. Bartlett and George H. Reynolds. The patent is owned by H.D. Windors of the American Torpedo Company! The experiments were part of an elaborate series ordered by Secretary Lincoln of the War Department, and carried out under the direction of Col. Hamilton by Lieut. E. L. Zahinski of the Fifth Artillery. The experiments were witnessed by Col. Hamilton, Major Randolph, Capt. Weir, Lieut. Wood, Lieut. Ruckman and Lieut. Roberts. The same gun, at a previous test, sent a 24-pound shot across the Narrows with 500 pounds air pressure, striking about fifteen yards short of the target at 20 elevation. Another shot, with the same pressure, at 25° elevation, went five yards to the right of the target. These figures, however, have no significance as to possible accuracy; for the gun has not been fired often enough to give the requisite data for accurate aim. The projectile is new, the propelling force is new, and the gun is new; so that many details are to be learned by experience; but the fact that a 24 pound shot can be sent across the Narrows with a popgun opens a wide field of possibilities when the use of increased air pressure and improved projectiles is taken into consideration. The advantages claimed for the new gun, ``` The unfortunate belief is also prevalent amongst them that some of their women being witches, inhabit at will the body of a nyssa. The Nubians have a greater independence than is known in Egypt proper. When one of them was represented for not using the customary term of respect, "my loof," he answered, "We have no lord but Allah." From the White Nile banks to Korlofan and Darfoor the country is inhabited by Baggara Arabs, a warlike race, some of whose members are tributary to Egypt. Their wealth consists of herds of lean, fly-bitten cattle, but the young men of the tribe, brought up to war and hunting, and at home on horseback from their childhood, do not devote much time to their flocks and herds, but often hire themselves out to the Khartoum merchants on their southern expeditions, to enjoy the pleasures of plunder and of the chase. One tribe amongst them, however, the Homir, is the declared enemy of all slave-sleakers. They are the finest of the nomad races of the Nile, are not without a love of finery, and adorn their athletic muscular frames with shirts dyed blue and scarlet. Their features are regular, the color of their skin light brown, their expression open and honest, though they have the reputation of being the boldest of all Ethiopian robbers, and invite comparison with the American gentleman whose profession was being "generally out on the steal." The whole left bank of the White Nile is inhabited by the Shilooks, with a population over a million. They are negroes, though not of a degenerate type. Their land is favored by nature, has a fertile soil, abundance of water, both from rain and from the rising of the river, good pastures, and fish and game in plenty. The Shilooks are short of stature, and by way of compensation arrange the hair in a comb or crest, high upon the head. The men wear no clothing, the women have only an apron of skins. They seem naturally adapted to the moist river flats on which they live, and with their lean, lanky limbs, small, narrow heads, and long, thin necks, appear to be of the stork or flamingo type, especially when seen leisurely striding over the rushes, or standing on one leg nor hours together in an attitude of languid repose, their bodies smeared over with grey ashes. In spite of all their national troubles they are merry and light-hearted, full of jokes and puns, which are sometimes inspired by draughts of merissa. A long spear is their only weapon. They believe in a great hero, "father of their race," who in days long gone by led them to this fertile land. Their creed seems like that of the Postivists, to be summed up in this ancestral homage, and in a belief that the spirits of the dead are about their path. A girl of the tribe was seen in the governor's but at Fashoda. She had come to appeal against her parents' retusal to allow her to marry her unable to resist. They are proud of having abandoned heathism and of their belief in one God. "Allah is enough for us now," they say, but their belief is also strong in wittches and in the evil eye and in the luck of beginning anything on a Wednesday or Saturday. They think that to eat the liver of a vanquished toe will inspire courage, but they cut off and reject the tip of any animal's tongue that is put before them; for it is not now, as in the days of St. James, the seat of all evil, a world of iniquity! They entertain a superstitious reverence for the fakirs or priests of Darfoor, who are supposed to have the power of rendering hillet-wounds innocuous. Zebreh, to whom the command of the army in the Soudan was lately to have been entrusted, had once twenty-five thousand dollars melted into bellets for a campaign against Darfoor, it being well known that witchcraft can be baffled by a silver bullet. An uncomfortable belief is also prevalent amongst them that some of their women being witches, inhabit at will the body of a nyssa.

bodies smeared over with grey ashes. In spite of all their national troubles they are merry and light-hearted, full of jokes and puns, which are sometimes inspired by draughts of merissa. A long spear is their only weapon. They believe in a great hero, "tather of their race," who in days long gone by led them to this fertile land. Their creed seems, like that of the Posivists, to be summed up in this ancestral homage, and in a belief that the spirits of the dead are about their path. A girl of the tribe was seen in the governor's but at Fashoda. She had come to appeal against her parents' refusal to allow her to marry her chosen lover, Yod by name. Her voice was choked with emotion as she told of their hard-heartedness. They would not allow the marriage to take place because Yod had no cows. To all the governor's wise maxims she would only answer, "Yod wants me and I want Yod." But the decision given was that she must wait until her lover was in a better position to make a settlement. Next come the Dinka, the great cattle breeders. Their territory, park-like in appearance, covers a very large area. They had not submitted to the Egyptian yoke, and were animated by fervent dislike to all foreigners, arising from the raids made on their cattle by the Nubians, who carried off thousands every year. In figure they resemble the Shillooks, but their color is darker, their hair closely cut, except a tuft at the back, and their lower teeth broken out. The women wear a clothing of skins, and an immense weight of iron ornaments. Their cattle are the pride of their eyes and the delight of their heart, dearer than wife or child. When a cow dies the neighbors, who, though highly appreciating beef, could not be induced to slay one of their own adored beasts, gather together and eat it; but the bereaved owner sits apart, unable to touch a morsel. They are useless for food, as they are never killed, and they yield very little milk; but the Dinka is happy if he can sit and gaze at them, "growing nice and fat;" yet there is no idea of attributing to them anything of a sacred character. Their religion is a "wilderness of mirages"—a confused belief in conjurers and jugglers. They are not, however, without some noble feelings. A Nubian, wounded in a cattle raid, lay down by the hut of a Dinka. The owner took him in, sheltered and nursed him, and refused to give him up to his persecutors, and finally, when quite cured, sent him with an escort back to his own people. On the border of Dinka land begins the "iron country," stretching to the equator. Here the Dyoor, a small tribe, have their habitation. They are unable to possess cattle, which cannot withstand the assaults of mats and gad-fiasn. A well-filled poultry-yard and a good dog are the two real means from four feet seven inches to four feet ten inches in height, and of ape-like appearance, resembling the Bushmen of the south. We get glimpses of other smaller tribes—the Babucker, with their inextinguishable love of freedom; the Nueir, another of the "lamango" races; the Krelys, with their wretched huts, their gigantic fishing nets, and their ponderous corn-mills; the merry, light-hearted Schreu, as full of jokes and fun as boys let loose from school—"If we are hungry," they say, "we sing and forget it;" the A Banga, who lost their chignons on the field of battle, to be brought home in triumph on the point of the conquerors' lances. The most painful part of our story is that relating to our experience of the slave trade. The resting places of the dealers were marked with burnt bones of men, and helpless and abandoned children. Starvation and cruelty on the journey is the ordinary lot of the wretched beings torn from their homes. Dr. Schweinfurth's work proves how little effect the sovereignty of Egypt had in putting down these horrors. A deceptive show of energy was displayed at Khartoom and Fashoda, but the overland trade was then (1870) more brisk than ever. It is little wonder after all if, when a "prophet" arose calling on the people to turn out the invaders, each tribe had some bitter moment to remember when vengeance had been vowed against the Egyptian dominion. A Club of Murderers. London, April 25.—The Sicilian police have discovered a remarkable murderers' club near Palermo, consisting of fifty-nine members, pledged to murder for the common advantage and profit. The murderers undertook to execute private vengeance for hire. A branch club, consisting of forty-five members, was organized in Sicarizza. Within a few months the latter club alone killed thirty persons. Members of both clubs have been imprisoned in Palermo and will be tried in May. Fifteen hundred gypsies are encamped around Dayton, Ohio. Their queen, who died in Tennessee in March, was April 15th, buried with great ceremony, the services being conducted by one of the leading Christian pastors. Over her grave will be placed a life-size statue of white marble. Catholic College. Mr. J. D. Kingsley, Sec'y Holy Cross College Gymnasium, Worcester, Mass., writes: Every member of our club frankly admits that St. Jacobs Oil, the conqueror of pain, in the best cure they have ever used, and all speak of it in terms of the highest approbation. 50 cents a bottle. An Eventful Celebration. A circular received at this office says: The Odd Fellows of San Francisco are about to celebrate an event which, in the annals of Old Fellowship in this State, is second to none in importance. This event is the laying of the Corner-stone of their new building, at the southwest corner of Seventh and Market sts., on May 14th, next. The ceremonies will be held under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of the State, which meets in annual convocation at that time. Many Lodges outside of this city have already signified their intention of assisting as bodies, which together with individual members from all parts of the State will create quite an enthusiasm, unequalled or excelled by any previous assemblage of fraternal organizations. The different railroad and steamship companies owning lines in this State and coast have made material reductions in the rates of travel from that ordinarily charged by them thereby lending an inducement to many who would not otherwise come. A movement is now in progress to have a general holiday proclaimed in this city on the day of celebration, by closing the schools, stores, public buildings and offices, and all other official departments. A Remarkable Prize-Fight. Pittsburg (Pa.), April 25.—One of the most remarkable prize-fights that has ever occurred in this city or vicinity took place today at Arsenal Park between Bilson Jack and Jack Clifford, for $100 a side. Previous to the battle a ball had been in progress, in which over thirty young girls and several mothers with infants in arms were participants. When time was called at 10:30 o'clock the women as well as the men crowded around the ring, and during the fight the former were the most enthusiastic shouters for their respective favorites. The fight was with soft gloves, to finish London prize-ring rules. From the start Clifford, who displayed the greatest science, had the best of it and soon had the battle well in hand. Bilson Jack fought savagely, however, and refused to give up until the one hundred and twenty-first round, when friends interfered and the mill was awarded to Clifford. Both men were terribly punished. Bilson Jack had to be carried from the ring. A number of policemen watched the fight to close without interfering. The battle lasted one hour and forty-five minutes. Roscon Conkling is said to be responsible for the selection of a Blaine delegation to Chicago from the Twenty-seventh district of New York with Thomas C. Pait at their head. GAZETTE. MAY 3, 1884. THE SHOT WITH A POPGUN. one with a projectile weighs and two with projectile seventeen pounds each, were Narrows from Fort Hammelsworth with the new dynama. The gun is merely a seamlessarter of an inch thick and with a four-inch smoothpelling power is simply an supplying about five hundred to the square inch. The were four feet long.

Claimed for the new gun, SCIENTIFIC. In a letter to Wools and Forens (London)an "Old Forester" testifies to the wonderfulefficacy of creosote oil in preserving wood. It effectually prevents all growth of fungus,etc. The timber must be thoroughly drybefore being creosoted. An improved windmill has been patentedin Austria by O. Wenzel. The ancient vertical cross of the mill is replaced by doublehorizontal crosses, between the beams ofwhich the sails are spread. The inventorclaims an increase of available power andeasier manipulation of the sails for his mill. Mr. Viense, principal medical officerof the medical hospital at Oran, states that excessive sweating of the feet,under whateverform it appears, can be quickly curedby carefully conducted friction with thesubnitrate of bismuth, and even in the fewcases where this suppresses the abundantsweating only temporarily, it still removesthe severe pain and the fetidity which oftenaccompany the secretion. The Analyst says that pure creosote,not carbolic acid, proves beneficial to consumptives and sufferers from chronic catarrh;it isalso markedly anti-asthmatic. The properadult dose is from ¼ to ¾ of a grain, twoor three times daily. The maximum singledose is ½ of a grain. It is best given in pills,made by melting two parts of yellow waxand one of creosote, to which any otheringredients desired may be added. A company has recently been incorporatedin Paris, with a capital of $300,000,forthe purpose of utilizing solar heat. The invention which they propose to developconsists of a huge reflector, shaped like an inverted umbrella, lined with a huge reflectingagent. In the centre is placed a standingboiler, made of heat-conducting materialof the highest power, which receives reflectedrays from all points sufficiently powerfulto generate steam. Bricks impregnated at a high temperature THE THREE MEALS. I think the principal strain upon a house-keeper of moderate means is the necessarythree meals—the ever-recurring demand: "What shall we have for breakfast and dinnerand tea?" "If one could only cookenough to day to last a week," I have hearda tired young matron sigh; and she wouldtry to accomplish that desirable conditionof the larder only to find that her breadbecame hard, and her pies moldy, and meatnot presentable before the third or fourthday. "Cold mutton!" said a gentlemen,when it came on the table for a second time,"it is enough to drive a man to the hotel."As hotels are not considered beneficialto domestic husband whose home is withina stone's throw, the wife, whether ill or well,makes the preparation of these meals herchief care and anxiety. "He can live without love—what is passion butpain?But where is the man who can live without dining?" I often think of this when I call upona neighbor who does her own work withthe assistance of a charwoman, and is mostexcellent cook. If I go to visit her on anyordinary occasion and remain to dinner (forI live too far away to return between meals),I find everything perfect.She has a smallfamily, her children are at school,the dinneris choice and well appointed. But if mycall happens to be when the husband isfrom home, we sit down to a cozy cup of tea forour midday meal, with bread and butterand any confection or cold meat that ishandy. "John is away," she says, "and I don'ttake the trouble to get dinner; I know youdon't care;" and I don't, but if I did,thatsigh of relief would compensate me fortheloss. Of course, there is a great deal in management,and it is every woman's duty whohas todo her own work to save herself as muchas possible. Train up the children to eatfresh fruit for dessert instead of pie, and tobe satisfied with plain and simple food.Have a regular written routine as far aspossible,and come out of it by doing all The American-German War. Act I. The Lasker resolution. Minister Sargent, quoting from his standard fifth reader, for use in high schools and academics: "Hope for a season bade the world farewell When Thomas Chiltern and Lasker fell." Bismarck—She didn't. Sargent—She did. B.—She didn't. S.—She did. B.—Didn't. S.—Did. B.—Didn't. S.—Did. D.—Didn't. S.—Did. B.—Din. S.—Did. B.—Din. S.—Did. B.—Nother! S.—Fightin' one!

Maneter—I never said you said I said you said it. The Kaiser of Kaiserville—Embrace me, my children. (They all feed. While they chew their virtuals white-winged Peace comes in and broods over the crowd, like a Cochin hen trying to cover six dozen eggs.) Four towns in Shelby county, Ill., have adopted licenses with a fee of $1,000 for whisky and $400 for beer. The Senate of Massachusetts has rejected the proposition to hold a convention to revise the Constitution of the State. In Guinea a prejudice of word-wide application is traceable in the popular name of a peculiarly venomous spider, "the mother-in-law of scorpions." Over 2,800 licenses have thus far been issued to Chicago saloon-keepers for the new municipal year, insuring an annual income of more than $1,000,000. A New York lady effectively used her big brass dinner-bell the other day as a burglar alarm. The fellow whose capture is secured is in jail awaiting trial. An artesian well bored for the city of Lincoln. The Science of Bread-making. "Bread!" exclaimed a Vassar College girl. "Bread! Well, I should say I can make bread. We studied that in our first year. You see that yeast ferments, and the gas thus formed permeates everywhere and transforms the plastic material into a clearly three times daily. The maximum single dose is of a grain. It is best given in pills, made by melting two parts of yellow wax and one of creosote, to which any other ingredients desired may be added. A company has recently been incorporated in Paris, with a capital of $300,000, for the purpose of utilizing solar heat. The invention which they propose to develop consists of a huge reflector, shaped like an inverted umbrella, lined with a huge reflecting agent. In the centre is placed a standing boiler, made of heat-conducting material of the highest power, which receives reflected rays from all points sufficiently powerful to generate steam. Bricks impregnated at a high temperature with asphalt are being successfully used in Berlin for street pavement. By driving out the air and water with heat, bricks will take up from fifteen to twenty per cent. of batumen, and the porous, brittle material becomes durable and elastic under pressure. The bricks are then put endways on a beton bed and set with hot tar. It is said that the rough usage which the pavements made of these bricks will stand is astonishing. Herr C. Etti says the tannin of oak bark exists in two forms—first, as a tamne acid, which in its free state, has a reddish-white color, and second, as an anhydrate of that acid, called "phibaphene," the color of which is brown-red. The distinction between these two bodies is familiar to tanners, who designate the anhydrate simply as "coloring matter," and reject barks containing too large a proportion of it on account of the very red color it imparts to leather treated with such barks. Dr. H. H. Hill of Augusta, Me., sends to the Popular Science News the following interesting information regarding the manner in which hornets get the fibres of wood of which they build their nests. He says: "A rather smooth or even surface, when wet, is selected by the insect. The top pole or log of an old fence, where the bark has fallen off, is a favorite place for the hornet to work. He begins by going backward, and with his two forward feet rolls the loose, wet fibres of the wood into a ball, which is usually about the size of a garden pea. He now secures the ball with his four hind feet, and flies home with his material, and uses it for building purposes." Camphor is made in Japan in this way: After a tree is felled to the earth it is entup into chips, which are laid in a tub on a large iron pot partially filled with water and placed over a slow fire. Through holes in the bottom of the tub steam slowly rises, and heating the chips generates oil and camphor. Of course, the tub with the chips has a closely-fitting cover. From this cover a bamboo pipe leads to a succession of other tubes with bamboo connections, and the last of these tubes is divided into two compartments, one above the other, the dividing floor being perforated with small holes to allow the water and oil to pass to the lower compartment. The upper compartment is supplied with a straw layer which catches and holds the camphor in crystal in deposit as it passes to the cooling process. The camphor is then separated from the straw, packed in wooden tubs, and is ready for the market. The oil is used by the natives for illuminating and other purposes. The Science of Bread-making.

"Bread!" exclaimed a Vassar College girl. "Bread! Well, I should say I can make bread. We studied that in our first year. You see that yeast ferments, and the gas thus formed permeates everywhere and transforms the plastic material into a clearly obvious atomic structure, and then——" "But what is the plastic material of which you speak?" "Oh! that is commonly called the sponge." "But how do you make the sponge?" "Why, you don't make it; the cook always attends to that. Then we test the sponge with the thermometer and hydrometer and a lot of other instruments, the names of which I do not remember, and then hand it back to the cook, and I don't know what she does with it then but when it comes on the table it is just splendid." The Advantage of being a Married Woman. "Are you as happy now as you were before you married?" asked Mrs. Yeast of young Mrs. Crimsonbeak. "Yes, indeed," replied the lady; "and a great deal happier." "That is strange." suggested the philanthropist's wife. "Not at all strange." came from the young married woman. "You see, before I was married, I used to spend half my time worrying about what dress I should wear when Daniel called." "But don't you try just as hard to look well when your husband returns home at night?" interrupted Mrs. Yeast. "Well you see." went on the bride of two summers, "I don't worry any about it now, as I have only one dress to my name." Tobacco Seed for California. WASHINGTON, April 24th.—L. Liebes, a San Francisco tobacco merchant, is in the city, having just returned from Havana. During the trip he secured a good supply of pure Havana tobacco seed, with which he intends to induce the farmers of California to experiment in raising tobacco. On arriving in California, he will distribute the seed gratuitously among the farmers of certain localities, and hopes that the result will show the capability of the seed to produce a fine quality of tobacco.

An artesian well bored for the city of Lincoln, Neb., has a flow of 100,000 gallons per hour, and a complete system of waterworks will be commenced this summer. According to a recent census St. Petersburg contains a population of nearly one million, and the average of life is only twenty years, or about fifty per cent, of the average of London. An Episcopal minister in Tamaqua, Penn., recently married a lady out of his denomination who was not liked by many persons in his congregation, and so much ill-feeling has been caused that the vestry have decided to close the church for the present. At a Boston seance a disconsolate widower succeeded in establishing communication with his wife, who passed into the spiritland from the Hub, of whose aesthetic circles she had been a member. The man inquired if she was happy and if she liked her new surroundings, to which she replied: "Well, dear, it is very charming and lovely and all that, but of course you know, dear, it isn't Boston." Pair Parisiennes with whom money is no object, and who aspire to everything that is pachuit diversify the flowers they wear according to the time of day. In the morning, from 9 to 11 or 12, violets are the correct blossoms: from 2 to 5, mimosa is all the rage: hyacinths or primroses are considered dinner wear; and at dances, soirées, and, in fact after 11 at night, gareenias, Cape healths, white lilac, or roses are permissible. We had a friend say to us a few days ago: "I never do anything for a cold; just wear it off." That is exceedingly dangerous; one might do that 19 times and the 20th time the cold would settle on the lungs and lead to consumption, and thus cut one's life short many years. Is it not better and more usable, to go to your druggist and get a bottle of Ammen's Cough Syrup than run any risk at all.
