OUTLINE OF THE PLAN OF MOVEMENT UP THE NILE VALLEY—THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE, The following is a short outline of the plan proposed for a movement up the Nile Valley, and of the chief reasons which led to its adoption :— In the selection of the route by which a force operating for the relief of General Gordon should advance into the Soydan the question of water supply held by far the inost important place. Putting aside for a moment the consideration of the physica! suffering preduced by thirst and the rapidity with which men in topical and semi-topical regions are brought face to face with it, and applying to the question only the tests of weight and carriage, it was calculated that the carriage of water for ene man for one day would require five times the amount of transport necessary for the conveyance of food per head for the same time, while the difficulties in the way uf conveying and storing water are at least doubled by the nature of the burden car- ried, Alone among the routes proposed the Nile was free from this PARAMOUNT WATER DIFFICULTY. Whatever might be the length of its water- way or the obstacles that lay in its cata- racts and rapids, the first and most important constderation—that of an inex- haustible supply of pure and wholesome water, in a land the climatic and physical conditions of which induced almost con- stant thirst—was met; and this advantage alone was considered so great, that if the cataracts had been much more difficult than they were known to be, the certainty of an inexhaustible supply of water through the Egyptian desert would have inclined the authorities to operate by the Nile route rather than to commit an army of Eng- lish soldiers to the intense sufferings of a march across the practically waterless waste that for more than 200 miles lies between Suakin and Berber. But the diffiulties which the Nile presented in its cataracts were not unknown in the history of the British army ; they were almost identical, indeed, with physical obstacles which on another continent had been successfully surmounted by British troops. IN THE RED BIVER ENTERPRISE lay the germ of the expedition now pro- posed along the Nile. If boats of a certain description, manned by soldiers, had suc- cessfully ascended the Winnipeg River, with its fall of 2 feet 8 inches to the mile, why, it was asked, should not similar craft carry troops up the Nile, when the fall was not above 1 foot to the mile? There did not happen to be in Egypt any officer who from personal experience with the American expedition, was in a position to explain to the authorities in Cairo the real nature of the craft proposed and the methods of using them, and hence it was that the consideration of the Nile route was approached both by the naval and military authorities in Egypt from a point of view which regarded the employment of steamers of considerable size and native craft of from 10 to 20 tons weight as necessary to the operation. But any expedition involving the use of large craft made high Nile an in- dispensable factor to the success of the undertaking, and high water in the Nile could only be depended upon during the months of August and September. For the work proposed to be done by the small boats of the American type high Nile was altogether unnecessary, and so long as the river bad branches of water in its shallow- est places, so long could these boats make good their way. These different points of view from which the question of the Nile route was regarded at heme and in Egypt caused some loss of time in the preliminary stages of decision, and it was only in the middle of August that orders for the con- struction of the boats and the preparation of supplies could be given, and the work of organization could really begin. Since then RAPID PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE. On Monday last, ten days after the orders went out, some of the boats were already shipped for transport to Alexandria, and by the 15th of the month it is calculated that the entire consignment of 400 boats wili be en route to Egypt. Within the same date nearly 3,000,000 lb. weight of stores and supplies will have been despatched to Alexandria for the special use of the boat expedition. Towards the same port, in addition to these 400 boats and stores, another consignment of 400 boats, with a further supply of stores, will be forwarded between the 15th September djand the ist October, and by the last named date some 400 or 500 # £Canadian voyageurs and 300 Kroomen from the west coast of Africa will also be converging to aid the expedition with the distinctive skill in paddle and oar which long generations of work on danger- ous waters have given to these widely differing races. Meantime the days that must elapse before all can reach Alex- andria are being utilized in the organisation of the long line of railway and water com- munication from Alexandria to Wady Halfa, and further, to the final base at Sarras, on the river above the second cataract. So far the original estimate of the time which these arrangements and preparations will involve, and of the date |at which a start may be made from Sarras, Lasotie to be possible of fulfilment, and the lst of November promises to be the day by |which the advance of the first boats from | the second cataract towards Dongola can be | made.

Lord Dufferin’s recent appointment is well received in St. Petersburg. Eight New York dealers have been arrested for selling oleomargarine. Gen. Wolseley’s men are eagerly volun- teering for service in the camel crops. The large number of sudden deaths at Quebec recently is attracting attention. Vanderbilt who admits an increase of $12,000,000 per annum spends only $250,- 000 a year. The British Government is communicating with France on Admiral] Courbet’s future movements. Young ladies should nov forget that Goliath died from the effects of a bang on his forehead. A coachman named Mead has run otf with Miss Sickles of New Rochelle, Conn., a millionaire’s daughter. The international cricket match between the Canadian and United States teams has resulted in a victory for the former by 100 runs. A new form of dynamite is made from poplar wceod flour, and resembles a var- nished donghrut. It isas explosive as the ordinary kind, but far safer. A farmer named Elledridge has been murdered near London, Ont., and two other persons wonnded in a stabbing affray arising out of a drunken row. The total superficies of the seas in the world is 281,915,905 equare miles, while that of all the continents and islands is only 34,354,950 square miles. The progress of invention is well shown in the constantly decreasing prices of a steel. In 1810 it cost about $2C0 per ton ; to-day the same quantity can be bought for $37. **Halloo !’ shouted one boy to another whom he saw running wildly down the. street. ‘‘Halloo! Are you training for a race?’ ‘No,’ called back the flying boy, ‘I’m racing for a train.” The victory achieved by the Canadian cricketers at Philadelphia over the best twelve in the United States, should be very gratifying to the lovers of that fine sport in the Dominion. “Did you ever think what you would do, if you had the Duke of Westminister’s in- come ?” Village pastor : ‘‘No; but I have sometimes wondered what the Duke would do if he had mine.” The little city of Pullman, near Chicago, the first house of which was erected during the winter of 1880 and occupied for the first time on January Ist, 1881, has now population of 8,329. According to the Sun, buildings to the value of a million dollars will be erected in Winnipeg this year, and a noticeable feature is the substantial character of the buildings constructed. “If there is anything I love, its roast goose,” remarked Fenderson, as he passed up his plate for a second helping. “It does you credit,” said Fogg; “there is nothing so beautiful as affection amongst the mem- bers of a family.” Of the three branches of engineering, mechanieal to-day pays the best. The average civil engineer makes $2,000 per annum, the mining, $2,200, and the me- chanical, $2,800. This includes bridge and locomotive construction. Not all rich people have an easy time of it. On being asked lately why he did not give up basiness, Baron Alphonse Roths- child replied that “it would take me twenty five years to settle my affairs sufficienily to enable me to withdraw from the firm.” The very spot on which the late Czar of Russia was assassinated, according to a correspondent, is being marked by the erection of a great cathedral, for which the Russian Government will purchase from the English proprietors, for £12,000, the well known picture by Paul Veronese, ‘‘The Adoration of the Magi.” A Scotch nobleman, seeing an old gardener of his establishment with a very ragged coat, made some passing remark on its condition. ‘‘It’s a verra guid coat,” said the honest old man. ‘I cannot agree with you there,” said his lordship. ‘‘Ay, it’s a verra guid coat,” persisted the old man; it covers a contented spirit and a body that owes no man anything, and that’s mair than mony a man can say of his coat.” Coal will be delivered this winter in Winnipeg at $7.50 per ton. Three years ago the price ranged from twenty to twenty- four dollars a ton, and the reduction has been brought about by the development of of the Saskatchewan coal fields which the construction of of the Pacific Railway west- ward rendered possible. The people of Winnipeg, at any rate, do no’ regard the rapid prosecution of the national road as a calamity. An English critic, who has been describ- ing the yenesis of the famous ballad, ‘* Auld Robin Gray,” says that Lady Anne Lindsay, who wrote it, told her little sister one day that she was writinga ballad, ana was oppressing her heroine with all manner of misfortunes. ‘‘ I have already sent her Jamie to sea, broken her father’s arm, made her mother fall sick, and given her Auld Robin Gray for alover, but, poor thing, L The newspapers vigorously denounce the wish to add anothe: misfortune to her in policy of England, and Le Paris summons five lines.” ‘*' ) ‘the powers to protest against such an piped up her little sister, and accordingly audacious violation of the international oo a was stolen and the ballet co o } of liquidativn. “Then steal her coo (cow),” / = nor nn a en spe apron tn enero anew ~ + ea es a ae samen minnie ts <lteaiiaaiaiiei — ‘ 7 - } t ; { } i , ‘ \ i
