Da, Cabvkb In match shooting with
Bogardus at New Orleans is beating
him. A late contest resulted 108 for
Oarver to 100 for Bogardus, But In
what Is the public benefited by the
performances of experts In trick shoot

their traps away and try the fields
and swamps and take chances as
they come, we think both of them
oan be beaten by Columbae sports
men.
Wi do not know whether Professor
Proctor said anything about it or
not, but it is nevertheless given out
from scientific sources that the Star
ot Bethlehem can be seen now,of clear
mornings, in the East at about three
o’clock. When it disappears from
this visitation to our system it will
not appear again for 300 years. 8o
those ot us who would know it at the
next "advent,"should rise early and
make its acquaintance.
A reform saloon keeper in New
York has opened a temperance "in
stitute,” where he gives for five
cents a drink of whisky, a sandwich
of beef and bread, and a cup of
coffee. He sells, 1,500 "takes” a day
and rnaki H SIB clear profit. He says
after taking a drink of whisky, eat
ing a lunch and tupping off with a
cup of coffee, a man goes along and
never thinks about repeating on
whiskey. Hie reform comes in be
tween the last cup of coffee and the
next drink of whiskey. What next?
FIIBI.IC UUILIMNM* FOR MACON.
The Hon. Jas. H. Blount,telegraphs
from Washington to Macon that he
has succeeded in getting the appro
priation bill a claim giving Macon
$195,000 for public buildings. This is
a good thing for Macon and wo con
gratulate our sister upon her good
fortune in securing this "output,”
and also Mr. Blount upon the suooeui
ot bls efforts in that direction. Wo
suppose now, tne Telegraph and
Messenger will be in a good humor
for a while and quit slashing the
’powers that lie” so promslcuouely.
Bomb Northern milk slope are still
writing to Southern men,generally
editors of newspapers, to know If
Northern people are welcomed in the
South? Those men know instinct
ively that if they are honorable and
industrious citizens they will be re
cieved here and treated as such,
They way not be received with brass
bands un i marched in processions to
pis nice, but they will be treated po
litely and as well as strangers from
another part of our own South, until
they give occussion for a different
course.
It is said that the Cincinnati En
quirer has sent a good looking, dash
ing young scullion to the South just
to snoop around among young bloods
in respectable circles of society to
gather up all the dirty scandal in
Southern cities to bo published, with
proper names given, in the Enquirer,
"just to bring about libel suits.”
That shows what "newspaper enter
prise” descends to, to feed a corrupt
public appetite and to make money.
The wretched little skunk has writ
ten up an Atlanta scandal over a
month old, and Is now on bis travels
to other cities, Macon, Savannah,
and Charleston are said to be on his
ticket, and the dirt of those towns
may be expected to be stirred up
right soon. The fellow carries with
him the name of Fred Brown and
every young man whom he ap
proaches socially in this region
ought to give him the point of a well
pointed boot. Buch a thing as Brown
and such a paper as the Cincinnati
Enquirer oan do infinite harm, if per
mitted.
Will the world never get credit for
honesty? A writer in the Augusta
News says the city treasury is run by
a ring, and that prudent men want
to sell their property, and other pru
dent men won’t buy. The tax gath
erer is the only party that the ring
feels interested in, and only in that
because it tarnishes the pabulum to
run on. We know nothing of the
facts stated and Intimated in the
Augusta News by "Citizen,” but the
cause of it ail is not confined to Au
gusta, but is common to most cities,
States and central governments, and
is because the people waive a super
vision of their own puplic concerns
and leave them in the hands of the
very men who delight in abusing
their confidence. The only cure for
one ring, in these days, is to form a
more voracious ring to “bite ’em,”
and so on. ad infinitum. Rings are
a fungus but strong and vigorous
growth, and it is the duty of the peo
ple, upon whose substance they sub
sist, to destroy them, ven though in
throttling one they may have to raise
up another. "The fittest may sur
vive.” But it would seem that hon
orable and intelligent communities
might, with a little watchfulness and
firmness, protect themselves from
the wrongs that th .se vampires are
constantly inflicting and are ever
seeking to Inflict. Why the failure' i
THE SOUDAN.
History of the Present of Oper
ations of the English Soldiers.
N. Y. Journal ot Ooiaraoice,
Metemneh Is ninety-five miles be
low Khartoum, and 115 miles ab ve
Berber, It. has some houses built of
uoburned brick, with floors and c fil
ings. Tbi se are not numerous, nor
very skillfully made, Metemneh is
a large collection of mud huts.
There is not much civiiizttion in
the Soudan. There are some Egypt
lans along th>- Nde who have brought
up there the semi-civilization ot the
Egyptian fellaheen. But the vast
native population la in general sav
age. The name “Arabs ’ applied to
these people tn the news dispatches
is a misnomer. There is little Arab
blood in this part of Africa. It is by
no means easy to determine from
what race or races the various tribes
In the Boudan are decended 'l here
is a theory that, at a period more or
leas ancient, inhabitants of Egypt,
the old Copte, migrating or driven
by invasion into the upper lountry
>n the Nile, Intermingled with the
Ethiopians, and thus gave birth to a
mixed race, whose dec.mdants are
spread from Dongola to theShtllook
country. Intermixiure h-is gone on
ever sines. Ethiopian slaves have
for centuries been held among these
people. Ethiopian tribes make
duves one of unoth ’r.
Toe Nile after leaving the Lake Al
bert Nyanza, flows through a tropical
country of Vast luxuriance. Its
course is winding, and It receives
many tributaries on both sides. The
inhabitants of this upper country are
Ethiopian blacks, divided into num
erous tribes. The pretended govern
ment of Egypt has never extended to
this country. It has reached from
Khartoum up the Nile only as far is
military stations could be made to
pay by t.he extortion ot plunder from
the natives, under the name of taxes.
The great African and Arabian
deserts, which are on the two sides
of the lower Nile, do not extend into
the upper country. The old-time
D -sert of Sahara was much of a
myth. Above the great bend of the
Nile, from Abou Hammed to Kiiorti.
where the river’s course Is to the
south of west, the country begins to
change in character. Rains occur,
md in the rainy summer season, are
heavy. The dry season is excessively
dry, and agriculture is carried on
through that season by artificial irri
gation. Along the banka of the Nile
the people are agricultural, but away
from the river they mostly live as
keepers ot sheep and cattle. There
are no cities, or towns, or villages,
except collections ot huts.
The advance position of the British
near i\l>-temn h, is ninety-live miles
trom Khartoum. The river is navi
gable over this stretch at all seasons
The channel changes with mud and
deposit trom year to year. Islands,
covered with splendid vegetation
abound. At oue spot near Marnad,
the river course is broken up by so
many Islands that it in called the
Ninety Islands. There is above these
a narrow pass of the river at Babiook.
between lofty rock cliffs. Above this
pass the river is navigable for steam
ersut all seasons, without cataracts,
not only to Khartoum, a few miles,
but for more than 1,500 miles into the
heart of Africa.
Nearly oue hundred miles below
Metemneh, on the east side, the At
bara river pours in annually its great
floods, filled by the rainfall on the
mountain country between the Ri d
Boa and the Nde. A’ Khartoum the
Blue Nile comes down from the Abys
sinian hills,another flood in the rainy
season, but very low in the winter.
These two rivers contribute perhaps
more than the White Nile to thean
nual rise of the river below.
Khartoum, on the point of junction
of the Blue and White Nile, is a
modern city, the creation of the
Egyptian invasion of the Soudan.
Being the centre of the so-called
government, it became the centre of
trade. Arab traders came first. These
w< re followed by adventurous men
from Germany, Italy and other
European countries. The trade con
sists lu gi m arable, hides, ivory and
senna, but those would not support
Khartoum or the Egyptian occupa
tion. The great trade has been in
slaves. Ths object of Egypt in seiz
ing on the country was the profit to
be made out of the slave trade.
Every Viceory or Khedive of Egypt
from tho days of Mohammed All to
the iate Ismail Pasha, has encour
aged and protected this slave trade.
The Arab slave traders organized
their expeditious in Khartoum, fitted
out their fleets of boats with provis
ions and more or less fighting men,
according to their means, and as
cended the Nile to the coun
try of the Ethiopian blacks.
Here they collected slaves by force,
or bought, them of tribes who cap
tured them from other tribes. Some
times they attacked a tribe and
seized their cattle, which they ex
changed with others for slaves. Re
turning to Khartoum with boats
loaded with slaves, they paid the
Egyptian authorities a head tax on
every slave, and then sent their mis
erable captives, some to Egypt,
others toßuakim or elsewhere on the
R -d Bea coast, and across the sea to
Arabia, where slaves are always
wanted at good prices. When Ismail
Pasha was pretending to be anxious
to suppress the slave trade in the
Soudan, the only change made in the
system was to stop the loaded slave
boats on the river above Khartoum,
collect the taxes there, and allow the
slaves to be carried around Khar
toum and sent to the Red Sea in the
usual way.
When, a few years ago, the inter
ference of England on the Red Sea,
and her management of Egyptian
finances in Cairo made it impossible
any longer to connive at this trade
and share in its profits, the Egyp
tian government found the Soudan a
costly possession. Legitimate trade
would not makeita paving province.
Robbery and plunder, under the
name of taxation, would not extract
enough out ot its uncivilized inhab
itants to pay for the men and arms
used in the oppression. England ad
vised Abandoning it. Gordon went
to withdraw the pretense of govern
ment with which Egypt had cursed
It.
