“That Lass o’ Lowrlc’s.”
Tho London Timet' corroflpondoct at
Buakiin Bays: Osman Digna’s whole
relation to the revolt and tho amalgama
tion in him of religions, political and
mercantile aspirations aro hard to com
prehend. A broker and trader, and
principally a slave trader in Suakim and
Jeddah, ho received a severe financial
blow when, some six years ago, a British
cruiser captured two slave dhows full of
victims on tho way to Jeddah. Osman
Digna’s trade then fell from bad to
worse, his house property in Bnakim
was all mortgaged, and ho became hope
lessly involved. Being of no groat dis
tinction by birth, his selection by the
Mahdi to lead a religious rebellion in
these parts is not iu accordance with
tho structure of Arab society and feel
ing, and is attributed to tho accident
that Osman Digna, in one of his incur
sions far south for slaves, met the
Mahdi, who formed a high estimate of
his ability and of his influence, acquired
through succosfnl trading. If this his
tory bo trustworthy, pnssions for other
objects than holiness are tho keynote of
Osman Digna’s character and motives,
and it is against all probability that he
will cast his goods and his position into
the broken halauco of battle. Ho is no
ignorant fanatio and ho cannot himsolf
believe the myths which ho multiplies in
order to oontrol his followers. Still, all
say that he will fight.
A young prisoner taken on tho day
after El Tob was examined recently at
Hnakim, Ho is, tho London Standard's
correspondent says, better acquainted
with affairs than most of tho prisoners,
as his sister is married to tho Sheik
Taher, Osman Digna’s principal sup
porter. Ho was one of tho reinforce
ment sent to Teb by Osman. Ho said
that whon ho left the camp Osman’s fol
lowers wero roady to fight tho EugliHh,
even if they came in numbers like tho
sand of the senshore, so confident wero
they of violory. In reply to a question
by the Bheik Moghrani, tho lad said that
the people behoved so thoroughly in
tho Mahdi that tlioy would sooner tight
to the death now than admit their error,
as thoy could never snlnnit to tho taunts
that thoy would moot with from tho
other Moelom tribes. The balance of
all the evidonoe was strongly in favor of
the theory that Osman Digna will risk
many battles liefore acknowledging de
feat According to the Buakim corre
spondent of tho London Daily Newt,
Osman Digna, in his dispatch to Mogh
rani, writes that tho latter, if ho woro
loyal and wise, should rather endeavor
to convert his English friends to the
Mohammedan faith; that he aud his fol
lowers hope to drink tho blood of tho
Egyptians and their aiders and abettors,
and that tho present, being a time of
great depression in religious faith
throughout Islam, is the very time in
whieh the Mahdi is destined to appear

Spreading the Diphtheria.
It may be remembered that a good
deal of piomincnco was given last fall
in tho papers to tho occurrence of
diphtheria in a family in Amsterdam, N.
Y. Two ohildren died at intervals of
several months, and a third wns taken
sick. Tho Board of Health appointed a
oommittoo to investigate, whioh ex*
amuied tho house aud its surroundings
and obtained n statement from tho at
tending physician. They have recently
made thoir report, finding that there
were no bad conditions existing in or
about tho house sufficient to explain tho
appeoranoe of the disease, and they con-
elude that it oome from a cat which wns
fondled by the ohild whioh first fell ill.
This cat was found at the time to havo
a swollen throat and to bo suffering from
a discharge from mouth and nostrils.
It died a few days afterward. Throe
days after the death of the oat the child
fell sick with malignant diphtheria and
died in about a week. During its illness
it played with a doll, whioh was after
ward given to a younger ohild, as it wns
supposed to have been properly fumi
gated with sulphur fumes. This ohild,
shortly after being allowed to play with
the doll, also fell ill of diphtheria, and
died. The third child also played with
the doll and fell ill, but recovered. The
Board of Health, therefore, traces the
reappearance of the disease in the family,
after the death of tho first child, to the
doll.—Sanitary Engineer.
Wages Sow Paid to Chicago Artisans,
The Pocahontas mine disaster revealed
a situation which reminds one of Mrs.
Burnett’s novel. Tho story iB told as
follows:—
"About sundown a hardy lass, with n
tall and fine physique, sprang upon n
stump and exclaimed: 'I have n father
in that mine, lioys. He is dead, and I
know it, but I loved him and I want to
bury his body decently. I will marry any
man in this crowd who will lead a party
into tho mine.’ This singular appeal
met with no response, although tho
girl, whose name is Mollie Morris, is the
object of admiration among the young
men.”
It would lie little becoming to ques
tion tho courage of men situated under
such circumstances, or to weigh the in
fluence of suoh a motive for a daring act
as w.ta offered by Mollie Morris. There
is one thing to be said for her, though:
she offered all she had to give. To her
filial devotion tho recovery of her dead
father's remains demanded from her that
complete self-abnegation whioh is signi
fied by such an offer. She seems to
have boon a girl above the common or
der of minors’ wives and daughters, and
tho offering of herself, her life and her
hopes—for competition, would appear a
foolhardy thing, but for one foot. View
ing the question from the standpoint of
Darwin’s theory of "the survival of tho
fittest” the man who would elect to risk
his life in the dangerous pursuit to
which she invited him, would bo pre
cisely that one of those present who
would probably best deserve and bo
most worthy of her. For ho must needs
appreciate the nobility of the girl’s solf
sacrifice, and her worthy respect for her
dead father’s memory—as woll os bo in
possession of tho merely physical oour
ago required. None such appeared, and
It is evident the standard of heroism,
moral or physical, in that locality, was
not equal to Mollie Morris's demand.
This bust does not detract, however,
from tho dramatic valuo of the situation.

Tho Earl of Euston, tho futuro Duke
of Grafton, is about to begin tho muot
talked of suit for divorco from his wife,
on tho plea that the lady’s first husband
was living at tho timo of her Bccond mar
riage. Tho Countess will submit in do-
fenoo that when she married her first

but ho proved to havo another wife, and
whon sho learnod this she abandoned
him. Tho cose promises to bo exceed

There aro more temperance organiza
tions and societies in tho country to-day,
more men who aro total abstainers, than
at any time in its history. There aro
three or four States where tho sentiment
against the use of intoxicating drinks is
so strong that their Legislatures have
lieon oompollod to adopt Btringont legi
slation on tho subject. The memory of
most men living can recall the time when
the National Congress, the Senate as
woll as tho House of Represoutativos,
witnessed scenes of intoxication that
shocked aud disgraced the whole coun
try. Strong drink was openly sold in
both wings of tho Capitol at Washing
ton, aud it waB an ordinary occurrence
to see drunken Senators and Representa
tives staggering through the corridors to
thoir seats in tho two brauohes of the
National Legislature. It is true that
liquor is still sold there; but it is in vio
lation of the rules. Tho Congressional
revelry has come to au end, aud no mau
who is known os a habitual drunkard,
no matter how great his ability or how
excellent in other respects, can retain
his seat in either body. This is true of
nearly all the State Legislatures. Ninety
per cent, of tho officeholders of the
country, State aud Federal, are men of
temperate habits. They cannot, in fact,
be elected or appointed if their lives are,
in this respect, a scandal. Iu private
business houses the same rule obtains

Oleomargarine iu the Leglslatnre.
Artificial butter was discussed by the
Assembly recently, aud the evils as
cribed to it aro deserved by some of the
combinations of grease and milk that are
sold as products of the dairy; but tho
Legislature might ns well go slow as to
havo its couclusious set aside within a
pear or two. Genuine oleomargarine is
nn imitation butter that experts have
pronounced almost identical with the
original product of the churn, and it is
much cheaper than butter made from
cream; consequently it appeals to tho
pockets of consumers, who outnumber
producers at least ten to one. Its imita
tions, made of materials that oannot bear
tho test of time, because they will in a
few days be offensive to taste, smell and
health, should either be suppressed or
sold under their proper names. The
people of a State containing one-tenth of
the. population of the United States
should uot be specially, taxed to support
dairy farms, neither should thoy be sub
jected to unhealthful imitations. Com
pounders of vile grease can easily be de
tected aud punished. The law os it is can
.-ffcct this end with but little additioual
legislation, and the people demand that
‘.his be done. For tho rest, the interests
of dairymen are not superior, nor even
equal, to those of consumers. Let the
Legislature be in earnest, but let it not
fail to work for tho greatest good to the
greatest number.—New York Herald,

"Judging from your recital, Mr. Ashley,
there must be wonderful curative properties
about this medicine.”
"Indeed, there is, sir, for no man suffered
more nor longer than 1 did before this remedy
gave me relief.”
"To go back to the original subject, Mr.
Ashley. I supposo you see the same familiar
faces about the lobby session after session!”
“No, not so mucti as you might think.
New faces are constantly seen and old ones
disup!>ear. The strain upon lobbyists is
necessarily very great, aud when you add
to this the demoralizing effect of into hours
and intenuierate habits and tho fact that
they are after lound out in their steals, their
disappearance can easily be accounted for.”
"What proportion of these blood-bills are
successful!”
“A very small percentage, sir. Notwith
standing the power and influence of the
lobby, but few of these vicious measures
pass. Were they successful it would bo a
sad commentary upon our system of govern
ment, and would virtually annihilate one
branch of it. The grent majority of them
are either reported adversely or smothered
in committee by tbo watchfulness and loy
alty of our Congressmen. J. E. D.

holding stock in the Cincinnati Com

dividend check for January. He says
that establishment has been dividing

This is a clear case of newspaper pros
