tous occul most remarkable vear- on record We have reference p' incipally to mat

ters ia which the English-speaking peo-|

ple of the world have been or are interested. The first of these events wis

the d ‘spatch by Greveral W olseley of ihe detachment of the British iu the Soudan across the decert from Korti to Matemneb, via Gakdul aud Abu Klea Wells. (Korti and Matemveh are both towns on the Nile, but the di-tance between the two places, by a direct route ecross the desert, is about 175 miles, while the route follow- ing the Nile, which m:kes a sudden bend pear Korti, is vearly 700 miles.) The British square of 1500 men disappeared in the desert, aod tor some days the world, and tae British public especially, apxiously «waited intelligence of result, Soon come news that the gallant litle baud had won a bloody victory over the Mahdi followers, at Abu Kiea Wells, at which the loss ou the part of the Arabs was fearful, eud the British loxs io killed and wounded was iarge, considerivg the numbers engaged. Af-er this came more su-pense. Day afier day bo inte!lig: nce came from the brave aud abie Geveral S'ewart and his able coni- maod. The Britixh public held their breath in suspen-e, and the world looked on and speculated, Some _ twelve huod: ed British soldiers, the saniv desert, choked by heat aud thirst, well kuown to be surrounded by an in- numerable host of hardy, fanatical, brave Soudanese, who are regardless of their lives, aud bloodthirsty in the extreme. Aguiu came word of another glorious Victory wou by this handtul of Brisish soldiers over the Mahdi’s hordes, and only throngh sheer pluck aud determin- ation, aided by good generalship, d'scip- line, aud scieutific equipments.

But while the auxiety over the prob- able success or fate of Stewart was most intense, came the terrible, iuhumao, murderous dynamite explosions in London, working havoe in Westmin- ster Hall, the Tower of London, snd Parliameot Buildings. The exci'emeut became terrific; but when the vews of Gen. Stewarts safety and success was made kuown, the public breathed more freely.

Following close upon these tragic events, came the news oi the fall of Khartoum, and the death of Geueral Gordon.

Mixed up with these greater events was that of the attempted assassination of Phelan in the office of O'Donovan Rossa in New York, and latterly the shooting of Rossa himself by au English woman named Dadley. These two latter matters are only conspicuous iv cousequence of the connection of the two men with the dyoamiters.

In the midst of the momentous eveuts we have briefly alluded to, a local eveut, shook our Island from centre to cirenmference. aud cau-ed much anxious excitement iu the seighbering provioces We refer to the late disaster io the straits. It is needless to recapitulate the circum- stances which still ayitate us to some extent. But we trust that anything like the terrible experiences of January last will not fall to the lot of man very soon. and that the glorious tidings announeed nineteen hundred years ago—“Glory to God inthe highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” -—— may reach fruition in the near future.

The Burden of Public Debt.

Tae burden of the public debt is less now than it was four yearsago. Thisisa remarkable fact. Here are the figures:

Charge

Interest per

Population on Debt Head, Des neues 4 224,800 $7.773,868 $1.79 1834. .......4,630,000 7,700 180 1.64

R memberirg that during these four year about fifty-three millions of dollars have been spent io railways, canals, pub- lic buildings and other permanent im- provemeats of the country, this result of the good management of the Govern- ment must challenge the admiration of our people’ On the very moderate estimate that, iu the meantime, ou: population has only increased to the exteut of 355,000. The burden of the public-debt is now actually lighter by 15 cents per head then it was in 1880 !

The flag «f secession will have to be raised, or some such expedient adopted, to show that as a people we can ne longer be trifled with.

This is from the Patriot, and is almost idevtical with the language used by the Hovorable David Liirdjof Her Majesty's Privy Couneii for Canada, at the public meeting held in Market Hall on Friday evening last :

Laser year 4,832 new books were published in England— more by 109 than the number of

jonly stimulates us to increased exertions.

We are all proud of Gen. Gordon and his gallant and self-sacrificing defence of Khar toum, which has added, if possible, to his ‘already high reputation. He cannot hold }out many months longer, and he now calls /upon us to save his garrison. His heroism land his patriotis are household words ' wherever our language is apoken ; and not ‘only has his safety become a matter of {national importance, but the knowledge that our brave comrade needs help urges us ''o push forward with redoubled energy. | Neither he nor his garrison can be allowed \to meet the sad fate which befell his gallant ‘compavion-in-arms. Col. Stewart, who, «ten endeavoring to carry but an enter- | prise of unusual danger and folly, was treacherously murdered by his cap'ors. We lean -—and with God's help will — seve 'Gen. Gordon from such adeath. The tabor ‘of working up this river is immense, and to bear it uncomplainingly demands the high- eat soldier! ke qualities, that contempt for | danger, and that determination to overcome

| d fliculty which in previous campaigns have | so distinguished all ranks of Her Majesty's | Army and Navy. The physical obstacles {that impede our rapid progress are consid lera le, but whocares for them whea it is lremetabered that Gen. Gordon and _ hi- | garrison are in danger. Under God, their ssfety is now in our hands, and come what | may wo must save them. It is needless to} say more to British soldiers and soilors— | Signed, Wolsele ”

LORD WOLSELEY'S FORCES.

The force at present under the command of Wolseley nambers about 8,000 men, and is divided into three divisions, one under command of Col. Boscawen (Gen. Stewart being wounded, and Col. Wilsen, the next in command,encamped on an island in the Nile, where his steamers were wrecked on the way back from Khartoum) numbering lseme 2,000 men; one about the same \atrength, lately uoder the command of Gen. Earle, now on the march to Berber, and the third with Ges. Wolseley at Korti, «r vn the way thither. Besides these there are smaller detachments at Gakdul wells, where Stewart had his first fight; at Abu Klea, where Barnaby was killed and where there was a large number of wounded men, and a foree under Gen.

El Mahdi.

aA PEN AND INK SKETCH BY MR. COTTE

ln azine a man about forty years of age, of m+ dium height, as lean, as the saying ts, 1s shotten herring, with a mahogany com-

| plexion, coal black beard and eyes, and

three verticel slashes on his pallid cheeks ; add to this a long cotton shirt as a garment, » narrow turban as a head-dress, a pair of wooden eandals, and in the hands—dry as

{chose of # mummy-—a string of ninety

herds, corresponding to an equal number

of divine attributes, and you have the Muhdi. Those who have seen him say that Mohammed Ahmed plays

ro perfection the part of a vissi-nary dervieh, waving his head when walking, uid murmuring constant prayers, his eyes fixed on heaven. His father was a car- penter on Naft Island, in the Nubian pro vinee of Dongola, and and sbout 1852 came with his four children to Chindi, a email city on the banks of the Nile, south of Berber. When. still very young, he was placed as an apprentics under the care ol one of his uncles, a ship builder of Chabakah opposite Sennaar, It seems that the future prophet was not without his *fail- ings, for one day his uncle thought well of fogging him in a regular French style. The proceeding was not ap- preciated, and the child ran away antil he arrived in Khartoum, where h entered he sort of schovl er con- vent of begging dervishes, who were in charge of the monument erected over the venerated remains of Cheick Hoghali, patron of the city. There his life was a yornarkable one for his piety; but as to education, he never learned how to write, or even how to read fluently. Later he went to a similar institution in Berber, ‘hen to one in Aradup, on the south of Keoa. In the latter city he became, in 1870, the favorite dise:ple of an eminent takir, Cheick Nur-el-Daim, and finally was ordained by him and went to Abbas Island, White Nile. His fame as a saintly man was ever on the increase. He lived in a kind of pit or subteranean-repository for grain, called Silo, which he had dug up with his own hands; and there he passed bis life, fasting and praying, burning in- cense day and night, and repeating the name of Allah for hours at a time, until he would fall to the ground panting and ex- hausted. If anybody spoke to him he gave back no answer, except sentences from the sacred bo.ks of Islam. CEartly things seemed to inspire him only with disgust and pity. He had made a vow to absorb himself in the contemplation of divine per-

fections and to weep all his life for the sins of mankind. But his tears did not destroy his powers of

vision, and he kept his best eye wide open to business; and the faithful coming by thousands and depositing rich offerings at the mouth of his silo, he never failed to see the gifts nor to stow them away carefully for stormy days. In 1878 he had become so wealthy that he felt the necessity to de- clare that Allah had ordered him to leave his silo and to take unto himself a large collection of wives, whom, asa truly prac- tical man, he chose among the most influen- tial families of the country, especially that of the Bagaras, the most opulent siave traders of the White Nile. | The New York Herald answers the question as follows : **What isa Mahdi?” **Mahdi, or Mahadi, as D’Herbelot spells it, isan ancient title in the moglem world which at first signified simply director of the faithful. But inthe course of moslem | history, and especially moslem history in Africa, it came to have another signification related (o an accepted prophecy of Moham- med. 1: necesearily refers to the African part of Arabic history. By this secondary significance of the world the Mahadi is a certain ancient leader come again. His appearance is the ‘second advent’ of a prophet who lived in the old days, and who in all the meantime has _ been with the immortals. Mohammed, the twelfth man, and the twelfth in descent from Ali, is the real original. As in the Christian theory, and even in the history of several monarchies, this legend of a prince who is to return has afforded a favorite pretext for no end of imposters, so it did in islam. The most famous of these in past ages was Abuicassem Mohammed (en Abda!jah, the founder of the Fantimite dynasty in Africa. Mohammed had pro- phesied that in three hundred years the sun would rise in the west, and as Abulicassem’s glory was in 296 of the hegira, it was held that the propbecy referred to him, and since then the idea of the mahadi has com- monly had relation to a revival of the glories of Islam in that western world of Moslemiem, the provinees of Africa held by the Arabs.”

THREE OF HIS DESPATCHS,

The Arabian organ Nusret publishes three letters from Ei Mahdi, which reveal his plans for operating against the British, The first isjas follows ;—

“To my Lieutenant, the Ameer Nur Angara at Shendy.—God be with thee! My agent at Dongola informs me of the arrival there of the first English troops which the Grand Vizier Gladstone has placed at the Khedive’s disposal so that they should reconquer the Soudan. Mark my orders, and carry them out. G>ther all tay troops aronnd thee and go to Berber. There are 2,100 men there under command of Nur Eidin. Thon wilt thus be at the head of 8.000 warriors, Thou wilt await the English with this army. and if possible attack thew on Mount Hamund, to the North of Berber. Betore the battle let our brothers know that the whole camp of the Christians will be given to them. Send the heads of tne Christian Generals to Osman Digna in order that he may show them to his army and incite the latter to fresh combats. Obey thy prophet,”

The second runs thus :

“To the apple of mine eye, the Gene- ralissino Osman Digma—Why dost thou send me no news of Suakim? How long wilt thou let the Christians hold it! How can I cast my glance towards Arabia and expect aid thence when ] cannot approach the sea? Thou, who art my right band, delay not to open me a road to the sea.”’ The third reads as follows :

“To Nur Eddin, at Berber.—Kuow that I have appointed as my secret agents—A. in Koresko, G. in Wady Halfa, S. in As- Thou canst, there- fore, have full trust in their information, for they are godly men, and hate the

The Disaster in Vale Colliery. |

THIRTEEN KILLED

Vale Colliery, the scene of the mining | disaster on the 10th net , is six miles from New Glasgow, N.S. In the disaster thir- teen miners lost their lives, viz :

Hugh S. Cameron, pump engine driver, leaving a wife and two children; Ph:lip Me- Beth, stableman, leaves a wife; John A. Campbell, deputy overman, leaves a wife and fauily; Daniel Kennedy, miner, leaves a wife and large family; Neil McKinnon, miner, uomarried; Thomas Ryan, miner, unmarried; Patrick F viey, of Wes ville, miner, leaves a wile and two children; John | Grant, miner, leaves a wife and three chil. dren; John W. Fraser, miner, leaves a wife and twochildren; Daniel McNeiil, miner, leaves a wife and large family; James Hag- vart, miner, also leaves a wife and family ; James M:Lean, miner, unmarried, said ‘o come from Brookfield, near Truro; John A. McEachern, a Jad.

Manager Greener on the llth, gave the followmg particulars of the disaster: ‘Last aight, the 10th inst., between nine and ten w'clock, shortly after the night shift had gone down to relieve the day workers, a sudden and fierce explosion took place in the new shaft, where the eight foot seam has been worked. The force took off the covering at the mouth of the shaft and acatiered the timber and light debris a’l down the shaft. Asscon as possible Mr. Greener, assisted by Manager Rutherford, of Scellarton, descended the shaftand was abie to reach several men, but could pot mavaye to bring them to the suriace owing tu the derangement of the ropes and the blocking of the track used for the cages. Soon after the two men, Adama and Red, came up the shaft of the old six foot seam, and reported that they had heard an explosion at the extremity of the shaft, a distance of some 2,200 feet from the surface. They had not been at all affected by the explosion. As soon as pos- sible water was introdnced into the pit and the tire extinguished. The wrecked tram- way was t.en gradually cleared, aud Manager Greener and some men descended, la order to preveit the gas from stopping their progress temporery deors were made of tarred canvas or bratt!e cluth to replace the doors that had been blown down by the force of exploded gas. Some distance down the rescae’s found seven men, who, though s-myv distanee from the exact spot where the disaster occurred, were yet much prostrated by the deadly choke damp, Theee were then conveyed to the surface and are those pamed above as found living, with the exception of Adams and Reid, who had got out as before stated. With great efforis, and with determination and bravery that deserves great commendation, Mr, Greener and his men worked their way down the slope. The firat three victims found were Campbell, the deputy overman, Hugh 8. Cameron and Danie! Kennedy. Some time later McBeth and McKinnon were found, and also brought up. Eight still remained, and though the party had reached the bot- tow, or extremity, of the slepe, they were unsuccessful at first in finding these. They are supposed to have been in the immediate vicinity of the explosien, and when found hy the relief party were all lying along the wall of the level, in positions that indicated they must have been sitting down at the time they were killed

The cause of tho explosion is attributed by the manager and others to the sudden opening of, or coming upon, a heavy feeder of gas, which rushing out was at once ignit- ed by the lamps carried in the caps of the men. Mz. Greener explained the fact of the men not having safety lamps to the entire absence of any suspicion of the ex istence of gas in that locality and it was not thought necessary to use other than the or- dinary lamps. When the day shift left the mine there was not the slightest indication of gas, and the horrible event that so soon foilowed was to all the greatest shock from the entire absence of fear of such an event on the part of the management. Alli the gentlemen present this morning who are connected with other mines in the county are unanimous in expressing their complete surprise that such an event should have oc- curred in a mine so generally considered safe and free from bad air.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

“Here! Here!”

Sir,—Now that our new Mayor and Council have buckled on the municipal harness and seem ready for the road that leads to necessary reform and improve- ments, it would be the correct thing to echedule the performances the people of Charlottetown expect from them. If they are sound on the pressing local questions of hour, they wil! be glad to know from their respective wards, through written sugges- tions. The sajing, ‘‘Like master like map,’’ has a strorg bearing on municipal jaffairs; for if the people are supine, their servants are very apt to be caught napping. | Icisa mistake to supposs that men who cffer their services to the community look ‘forward inaction as their duty or destiny when in«flice. It is much more rational to credit thera with the virtue: of efficient citizens, and on their behalf clear the road for their grapple with the difijculties to he’ overcome by their united stength. What I would suggest is that ame competent citizen who has the good of Charlottstown in his creed,—draw up a statement of the needs of this feir city, briefly, but to the point, and put ‘hom in type for any erili im | thet other citizens have io offer,

This would produce several desirable con- sequencer, It would ventilate the leading fea'ures of the reformation of abuses. It would instract the ignorant, arouse the- apathetic,strengthen a righteous seniiment, and save us from «0 wuch shovel- ling of political grits, and perhops the other faction, the tendeney to grit their teeth every time a photograph of Sir John sticks out of a Conservative pocket.
