A HUNTER OF SLAVES. liebhr Pasha, Whoso Armies Devasted thoSoudan. From the P:< itadelphia Times. Zebhr Pasha, "ho has just l**-n released trom a three year’s imprisonment at Gibral tar, has played a:i important part in African polities during the last five nnd t wenty years. When Gordon went to the Soudan in 1874 as Governor General, he found Zebhr living in royal state in Darfur and devastating with his slave hunting armies the whole of the Equatorial prov inces. After several severe fights, in which Zebhr showed generalship of no mean or der. Gordon defeated ana made him n pris oner and sent him in chains to Cairo. There he lived for eight years a prisoner on pa role. until his intrigues on behalf of tho Malidi rendered it necessary for the British government to arrest and deport him. The first time I met Zebhr was iu October. 1882, when Cairo was occupied by British troops, and the newly-captured Arab! was a pris oner in the citadel. Zebhr had taken no open part iu Arabi's revolt, but had stayed on in Cairo waiting, no doubt, to see what turn events might take. His palace was always the resort of any Soudanese notables whom business or pleas ure brought to Cairo. Here in the evening one met envoys from Dongola, Darfur anil the most distant provinces of the Nile.jptd here it was that I first heard of the revolt under the Mahdi, which two years later cost England so much blood and treasure, and Egypt the larger portion of her territory. Zebhr himself is avert striking looking man, about 5 feet 10 inches in height, but looking taller owing to his splendily pro portioned frame. He is very dark; in fact, you would hardly take him for an Egyptian, were it not for his finely-chiseled features, which have all the characteristics of the Nubians about them. He is about 50 years of age, but looks younger. He dresses like a sheik of the desert, and wears a bright colored silk turban on his head. On the first occasion of my visiting him we had a long conversation about the Sou dan and the slave trade, the latter a sore subject with him, as he considers that Gor don maligned him with regard to his asso ciation with it. “The slave trade,” he said, “can never be put a stop to as- long as the religion of Ma homed endures. Eastern life necessitates the employment of slaves, and no lot is happier than that of the slave of a good master.” I explained to him that domestic slavery was not what Christians especially objected to, though they disapproved or that, but the cruel traffic in human llesn, whereby people were torn from their homes, separat ed front their kith and kin and sent into ex ile in a foreign land. He tried hard to deny that this traffic existed, but when I told him of the number of slaves captured yearly by our nten-of-war on the African coast, be at tempted to argue that they were merely prisoners of war, and that it would have been impossible to leave them in the dis tricts where they had been taken prisoners, and that it was for their own best interests to send them to new countries. At the same time he emphatically denied that he had ever made war simply to capture Blaves. “It is the nature of the wild tribes of the Soudan,” he said, “to keep a perpetual State of inter-tribal warfare, and only when my people were attacked did I make re prisals.” Just then a bright-looking boy handed me tome coffee and Zebhr said: “You see that boy. He is from Shillook, the only human being saved from a village burnt by my men in revenge for attacks tnade on my boats going up the Nile. Ask him if he is happy. Why, if he were a chief among his wretched people he would hot be so well cared for as he is now.” It was evident that we should never be sble to agree on the slave question, so I turned the conversation to sport, on which Zebhr is a great authority. Most, if not ill, of the big game of Africa have fallen to his rifle, and he told me some wonderful j-arns of his adventures with lions and ele phants. He told me that his favorite Method of hunting the latter was on horse back and armed only with a sword. His plan was to ride up alongside the elephant, knd, rapidly dismounting, hamstring him with a blow from the sword, and when the huge beast was thus put hors du combat he was dispatched with spears. It is necessary to have several mounted men, one of whom Ittracts the attention of the elephant while the others creep up and hamstring him. This method of hunting was reported on Dv Sir Samuel Baker as common among the llamram Arabs; but Zebhr is the only Arab I have met who has told me he has practiced it. He spoke in glowing terms of (he abundance of animal life to be found in She more distant parts of Darfur, which, trom his account, must be a very paradise lor sportsmen. But he, added: “The Soudan will soon be the scene of pore stirring events tluin hunting wild leasts.” And then he went on to talk of the flabdi. As I had heard but little then of uohammed Achmet I was much interest td in what he told me, which was to the ef fect that the tribes were fast rallying round lim and that ere many moons were past tho Soudan would be lost to Egypt. “There is no one man between the Bahr (l-Guzell and Dongola who can rally the people to the standard in support of the \licdive,” he said. “There was once a Sultan in Darfur, but he is there no more." This last was a delicate allusion to him elf. Very vividly did this conversation come >ack to my memory when being in Gibral tar last year I found myself once more in he presenoe of Zebhr Pasha. Hearing that le was a prisoner on the Rock, 1 applied to Ihe Governor for a permit to visit him, cinch was readily granted. Armed with his I one morning presented myself at the [ate leading to tho'ex-slave king's quarters, i small house on the southeast corner of the Hock had been assigned to him and I found dm sitting on a divan in the veranda, coking out over the blue waters of the Mediterranean. He had changed a good leal in the four years that had elapsed since last saw him and it was evident that the ife of forced inactivity was telling heavily in him. We had a long talk on Soudanese iffairs, of which he took a most pessimistic 'iew. ' There is no hop* for my poor country,” lesaid. “You have destroyed, but have •uilt nothing in the place of what you huve 'vertbrown, nor do you know how to build, n my time,” he continued, “merchants jould pass to and fro in peace, and do their business. Every year the riches of the . 'tor were being more abundantly bought, within the reach of the merchants B. Khartoum. And this state of prostierity ►“uld have gone on hail I not been driven rom my country. Gordon was a good man, hough no wronged me deeply, and I am firry he is dead. Ho know afterwards that by policy was the right one for the country, Cid asked me to go hack as Sultan of Dar hr, but England would not let me. Now I fie no hone for the country; the people are HI divided, and no one tribe is strong hough to form a stable government. In tying to free a few you have made all lines,” I then asked him: “Would yon. if you were free, return to Darfur and endeavor to restore your dynas yr “Certainly; provided certain conditions tore fulfilled,” ho said. “I should require "■lp at first in the way of money, os the ountry is practically ruined, and I should Jvi require to las let alone. But that is not *e way with you English; you will not let hings alone.” Do you expect to lie kept a prisoner here ti'ich longer r “God knows," ho said ; “He will do what > best.” Zebhr’s prison, though not so luxurious as m Cairo palace, was very comfortable, and jfi laid his own personal attendants and a ' all harem, mill, to a man of his active •iventurous spirit, living ou that narrow trip of rock must have I men very wear) teue, and 1 thought as I looked at him that f "“d something of tb* look at a need wjjid beast in bis eye*. It will be in ; tcresti ng to see how he will use his liberty —whether he will elect to stay quietly in Cairo or whether he will make an attempt to set ur> his sceptre once more in Darfur. Should he do the latter, I have little doubt that he will succeed, and thus bring about the solution of the Soudan question in accordance with Gordon’s last aims. A SURGEON’S LIFE. A Page From the Experience of the Father of Surgery in His Day. From the Autobiography of the Late Dr. Gross. I have always maintained that it is impos sible for any man to be a great surgeon if he is destitute, even in a considerable de gree, of the finer feelings of our nature. I have often lain awake for horn's the night before an important operation, and suf fered great mental distress for days after it was over, until I was certain that my patient was out of danger. I do not think it is possible for a criminal to feel much worse the night before his execution than a surgeon when he knows that upon his skill and attention must depend the fate of a valuable citizen, husband, father, mother, or child. Surgery under such circumstances is a terrible taskmaster, feeding like a vul ture upou a man’s vitals. It is surprising that any surgeon in large practice should ever attain to a respectable old age, so great are the wear and tear of mind and world has seen many a sad picture. I will draw one of the surgeon. It is midday; the sun is bright and beautiful; all nature is redolent of joy; men and women crowd the street, arrayed in their beet, and all, appar ently, is peace and happiness within and without. In a large house, almost over hanging this street so full of life and gayety, lies upon a couch an emaciated figure, once one of the sweetest and loveliest of her sex, a confiding and affectionate wife and the adoixxi mother of numerous children, the subject of a frightful disease of one of her limbs, or, it may be, of her jaw, if not of a still more imjiortant part of her body. In an adjoining room is the surgeon, with his assistants, spreading ont his instruments and getting things in readiness for the impend ing operation. He assigus to each his appro priate place. One administers chloroform; another take3 charge of the limb; one screws down the tourniquet upon the principal artery, and another holds himself in readi ness to follow the knife with his sponge. The flaps are soon formed, the bone severed, the vessels tied, and the huge wound approxi mated. The woman is pale and ghastly, tho pulse hardly perceptible, the skin wet with ejammy perspiration, the voice husky, the sight indistinct. Someone whispers into the ear of the busy surgeon: “The patient, I fear, is dying.” Restoratives are admin istei-ed, the pulse gradually rises, and after a few hours of hard work and terrible anxiety reaction occurs. The poor woman was only faint from the joint influence of the anspsthetic, shock, and loss of blood. An assistant, a kind of sentinel, is placed as a guard over her, with instructions to watch her with the closest care, and to send word the moment the slightest change for the worse is seen. The surgeon goes about his business, visits other patients on the way, and at length, long after the usual hour, he sits down, worried and exhausted, to his cold and comfortless meal, with a mouth al most as dry and a voice as husky as his patient’s. He eats mechanically, exchanges hardly a word with any member of his family, and sullenly retires to his study to prescribe for his patients—never, during all this time, forgetting tho poor mutilated object he left a few hours ago. Ho is about to lie down to get a moment’s repose after the severe toil of the day, when suddenly he hears a loud ringing of the bell, and a servant, breathless with excitement, begs his immediate presence at the sick chamber with the exclamation, “They think Mrs. —— is dying.” He hurries to the scene with rapid pace and anxious feeling. The stump is of a crimson color, and the patient lies in a profound swoon. An artery has suddenly given way, the exhaustion is extreme, cordials and stimulants are at once brought into requisition, the dressings are removed, and the recusant vessel is secured. The vital current ebbs and flows, reaction is still more tardy than before, and it is not until a late hour of the night that the sur geon, literally worn out in mind and body, retires to his liome in search of repose. Does he sleep? He tries, but he cannot close his eyes. His mind is with his patient; he hears every footstep upon the pavement under his window, and is in momentary expectation of the ringing of the night bell. He is dis turbed by the wildest fancies, he sees the most terrific objects, and, as he rises early in the morning to hasten to his patients chamber, he foals that he has been cheated of the rest of which he stood so much in need. Is this picture overdrawn I I have sat for it a thousand times, and there is not an educated, conscientious surgeon that will not certify to its accuracy. A SEA GULL S STRATAGEM. Trying to Break a Mussel on the Head of an Ornithologist. From the San Francisco Examiner. “I had a very singular experience last Sunday,” said a tradesman, whose shop in Oakland is adorned by the sign, “Ornitho logical Rarities,” but who, on a pinch, would sell a dog or a rabbit. “I was walkiug on the beach, not very far from the Cliff House, and I had just noticed that an unusually large number of sea gulls were flying over the sands, when a hard substance struck me violently upon the head and staggerod me. Luckily my hat was very thick and I am blessed with a tolerably solid skull. So I soon recovered myself, and I was look ing about to ascertain what bail ifit me, when I was greatly startled by a weird and ghostly fluttering of wings a foot above me. A groat gray gull had narrowly escaped alighting upon my shoulders. He just suc ceeded in checking his impetuous descent as his feet almost touched me. With a queer kind of half-frightened cry he was again into the air. But what has brought hitn so close to mei I soon found out. Lying on the sand was the thing that had given me blow upon the head. It was a large block mussel, and the sea gull had dropped it from a dizzy height upon my unoffending scalp. I have studied the habits of those birds pretty carefully, and I know very well why he had done it. He was trying to get at his dinner, and as the shell of the mussel was still unbroken and I wished to see him try again I walked a couple of hundred yard away and turned to watch his movements. Seeing that the coast was clear, he quickly flew lack to tho place where tho mussel had fallen, seized it in his beak, and, again ris ing high into the air, he let it drop. He foHowid it closely as it fell, keeping almost beside It during the greater part or the de scent, and only moderating his downward rush when he was in danger of dashing him self upon the beach. The mussel struck the sand, but the shell was still unbroken, and, indeed, it was verv evident to me that tho soft, ground that received it wonld never lay it open. Then I flung the mussel to a distance, and the gull, seeming to take this as a hint that rav head was not a chopping block, seized his troublesome delicacy and flew away. I saw him turn a little inland, rise once more to a great height, dart, swift ly down, and then wing his way out to sea. I found that many stones lay at the place of his last descent; so. doubtless, his persever ance was at length rewurded, anil he had gone off to some lonely rock to dine. ’ Consumption, Wasting Diseases, And general debility.

UNPLEASANT BED-FELLOWS. Adventure of a Maine Knight Templar With Bats in His Bedroom in a Ver mont Town. From the Lewiston < Me.) Journal. Sir Knight Greeuleaf had the queerest adventure. He told it himself along about 8 o'clock Wednesday evening on the broad piazza, when the band was playing. “I went to bed about 11 o'clock Tuesday evening,” said ha “Just so,” echoes Mi's. Greenleaf, who subscribes to tho story. “The night was pretty warm and the transom was up in the room, with the light of the hall shining through. 1 was half asleep, when something came in at the win dow like a black cat out of a skunk trap. The thing bumped up against the wall and slammed against the door and whizzed over the lied. It darted so close to the bed that I thought it was going to hit me, but it didn’t. I never did like to sleep with over two in a room, so I got up and struck a match. It was a bat. A big, live, flutter ing bat, dazed by the light. My wife screamed a little—just a little, you know— and I drew my sword and started for him. He came at me and I stood on guard and lunged at him. I didn't, have my chapeau and regimentals on—not exactly—because I wasn’t expecting company, hut I wished I had Just donned the chapeau to complete the picture, for it must have lieen a study for an artist. Thunderation! how I chased him. He was earlier than a New Jersey mosquito, and my fluttering garments caught the breezes. My sword gleamed in the gaslight, but it didn’t seem to gleam in the immediate vicinity of the bat. That bat -was pluekier than Gapt. Michael Kelly, of the Boston base hall club, but I cornered him, and laid him low, and put him to rest beneath the corner of my regalia trunk, and was just cooling off Tor another nap when in came another. This one was a regular dandy. Ho had n sharp noso and was dressed in a full suit of black. He came sauntering in, took a good look around, and went for the bed. “Mv wife screamed and the bat lit on the coverlet. I made for him, and he ran just liko a mouse along the bed and dived down under the clothes. In less than a jiffy he had tho bed to himself, and quicker than Jack Robinson in came another bat at the open window, and things were lively—with the bat under the trunk cover, squealing and flapping his wings. Says I, ‘This is getting Interesting. This room ain’t big enough for five. It’s only a seven-by-nine, and my wife and I want it,’ and 1 drew the trusty sword and wont into battle. I got the first wound. The bat was under the bed clothes, and I made for him. He bit me. See there! (showing his forefinger with a plainly marked bruise). Well, sir, he bit me right through the forefinger, and I squealed like a good one; but I got him. I got him tight and flung him under the trunk cover and made for the other. I won’t weary you with the details of the chase, but it was exciting. I chased bat No. 8 over the bed, over the chairs, up the ceiling, into the cupboard, up in the corners and finally I laid him low, dead as a herring in the cor ner of the chimney, and oddest another to the family under the trunk cover. “I stood on guard for ten minutes waiting for the rest of the surprise party, but he was the last, and about 10 o’clock I went to sleep. There’s the bat,” concluded Mr. Greenleaf, pointing to the dead body of a bat lying on the gravel walk beneath the electric light. And Mrs. Greenleaf cor roborated the story in its details. FORTUNES FOR PRINTERS. Flush Days for Followers of the Art Preservative in Colorado. A Denver letter to the New York Mail and Express gives some interesting remi niscences of the old days in that section, and the ups and downs of frontier life. There was a great rush for job printing and prices were steep. They got $lO per one thousand cards, tter heads, envelopes, and so on, and as sek was scarce and they wanted to accommodate everybody, they gave only two hundred or three hundred cards or letter heads, as the case might be, to the thousand. They were soon taking in between 3500 and S6OO a day for job work, and in exciting times they had to keep the press running as late as 12 o’clock at night to supply the demand for papers. An amusing story is told by Col. Arkins, which illustrates the go-as-you-please manner in which they charged for work. One evening as the men were washing up to go home a stranger dropped in and said he wanted a job of printing done, and he wanted it that night. Col. Arkins told him it would be impossible to let him have it, but he insisted that he must have it, and expressed a willingness to pay liberally. He explained wiiat he wanted—ten cards, the size of playing cards, nine with the num bers on them, from 1 to 9, and then a single one with oon it. The job was taken, and they were to send the cards and bill to Tom Kemp’s saloon and the gambling hall, where the stranger would lie waiting for them at 9 o’clock. They took a planer and mallet and printed the cards in five minutes. Then Arkins, Bumel and Davis went to supper. “What’ll we tax him for that job?” Davis asked. “How will $lO do?” inquired Burnell, “or would he think it too much!” “Ten nothings!” said Arkins. ‘‘Why, charge something for our trouble—make out a bill for *25.” Davis and Burnell were afraid, but the bill was made out, and Arkins agreed to collect it. He went to Tom Kemp's saloon at 9 o’clock and the stranger was there. “Have you got ’em?” he asked, coming close to Arkin and whispering in his ear. “Yes,” was the whispered answer. “Where are they?” “Here.” A thin package changed hands, and the gambler put them into his pocket. “How much?” “Twenty-five dollars,” The money was counted out and Arkins receipted the bill and turned to go, when the stranger caught his arm and said; “Look a-yere, cap’n; I’m a thief—l’m a f ambler: that’s they way I make my livin’; ut, say, isn’t this a lectio high ?” Area and Population of Europe.

Thug, if Piano is priced at S2OO, ten quarterly payments of S2O will buy it, thus giving almost three years for payment. ANOTHER POINT. Suppose you want a Fair Piano at small cost. Well, we have them at SSO, $75. S9O, *IOO and $125 in good order (not worn out) that will do excellent servicefor many years yet.
