in ameb, unless Osman obeys nis summons ami lays down his.arms. The actual force marching on Tokaf numbers 3,900 men, and is twenty-two guns and six machine guns. If Osman submits, General Graham Mill be sent to KhartOum to assist General Gordon in arranging for the pacific evacuation of the Soudan. A London dispatch says a telegram received at the war office states that four officers of the English force were killed- A later dispatch from General Graham says ill at nineteen office's received wounds, including Baker Paslia and Colonel Burnaby, both of whom were severely, wounded. Nine hundred of the enemy’s de;td were counted in the captured positions. Os the British In the fight twenty-four were killed and 142 wounded. The British captured four Krupp guns, two howitzers add one machine gun. Tlie government has given its sanction to dispatching two British battalions to Assouan. Popular enthusiasm, so strongly aroused when General Gordon’s mission was announced, is sub siting. At Khartoum less confidence is felt in thq Situation. It is feare.d the Khartoum will ridicule Genenfl Gordon’s somewhat pompous proclamation. Golqnel Stewart, secretary of Gene 141! Gordon, has returned to Khartoum front * his mission. of conciliation up the White Nile, lie passed everywhere without molestation. After the battle Baker Pusha and Admiral Hewitt returned to Trinkitat. Soldiers and sailors heartily cheered Baker Pasha, who was severely wounded ami unable to walk. The v. 1 crans who took part in the battle say they never met a more resolute foe. The enemy’s trenches were found completely filled with corpses. Tokar Recovered by the English. Sitak;m, March 2.—The British troops entered Tokar at noon on Saturday. A few shots were exchanged with the enemy, when four thousand rebels holding the town fled. Osmun Digma is encamped eight miles distant from Suakim. A battle with him is expected when the British troops return to Suakim from Tokar. All reports commend the steadiness with which the British troops moved on Teb. The square in which they advanced to the battle was never broken. The determination and bravery of the rebels was shown in the fact that when they were charged by the cavalry great number© of them threw themselves upon their backs on the ground, and speared the horses and troopers as they dashed over them. The march to Tokar was accomplished in four hours from Teb. The Hussars scoured £he coun try and kept up a desultory skirmishing with the enemy, who retired in disorganized masses in the direction of Tamanieb. Tho Arabs lost 3,110 men dead on tlio field, at Teb. besides guns and other munitions. The whole camp, including 375 tents any many camels, were taken. Tim condition of the camp showed the Arabs relied upon being victorious. General Graham will send '‘f the Tokar garrison to Trinkitat andtroy the fortifications. He will then march to Tamanieb, where he will convoke the sheikhs of friendly tribes and those submitting to him to make arrangements to keep open the route to Suakim and Berber. Admiral IlejviH, led the marines in tlie attack on Teb. Tlie sjirgeons behaved nobly. Queen Victoria has sent a telegram congratulating the troops on the victory. General Graham telegraphs as follows: “Tokar has been relieved. The rebels had held the town since Feb. 16, oppressing the garrison and inhabitants. The rebels fled to the mountains. The rebel guns at Teb were served by Egyptian soldiers. The Arabs of Houdeida have declared in favor of El Mahdi. The Governor has telegraphed to Sownrar for troops. #The garrison found at Tokar numbered ten men. half starved. The remainder had joined the rebels. The bodies of Morlce Boy, Surgeon Leslie* and four other Europeans Wiled in the rout of Baker Pasha’s troops were found at Teb, and buried. Sir Evelyn Baring, telegraphing the new of Friday’s victory to Gen. Gordon, used Arabic language, that the news might spread aW along the line. Baker Pasha’s wound is not serious. It 4s believed Osman Digma’s power has been broken.

(jonlon's Peril. Cairo, March 2. —The government, convinced that General Gordon's mission will fail and his life he put in imminent peril, has offered to Abd-el-Kadir Pasha, Minister of War, under the sanction of Baring, British minister, the governorship of Khartoum. Abd-el-Kadir refuses the office unless General Gordon assents. Gordon has ordered Colonel Stewart, commander of the sent up the White Nile, not to attack the natives unless attacked by them, but fry to negotiate with Sheikh Buggaras to go to Khartoum. If that sheikh prefersdo fight he will precipitate a rising of all tribes in Darfour and Kordofan and will attack Khartoum. Nubar Pasha, Prime Minister, under the influence of the British minister, has suppressed ihe Bospliore Egyptian, the leading journal of Cairo. Giraud. the editor, who recently received the decoration of the Legion of Honor', has appealed to Barrero, the French consul-general, protesting that the only charge against him is that he denounced with energy the faults of English rule. IRISH -AMEI! IC AN DYNAMITERS. Reasons for Asking tteoT'nited States to Take Action Against Them. London, March I.—The American embassy has received no information in regard to the reported communication of the English government to Washington relative to dynamite outrages. It will be made through the Hon. Sackville West, the English minister at Washington. The decision of the government in this matter has received fresh impetus from the articles in the Times and other papers. To-day's Spectator says: ‘ ‘lt has become a serious question whether the government shall ask Washington to aid in the suppression of dynamite miscreants by signing a treaty binding both nations to make conspiracy to injure foreign cities, or inciting thereto, highly penal offenses. If English desperadoes were plotting and advising fire-raising in New York, Americans would expect the English government to help theirs. Why is the obligation not reciprocal? Congress cannot compel the State of New York to alter its laws, but it can sanction a treaty whioii, under the Constitution, takes precedence of municipal law. ” The Saturday Review says: “It may reasonably be asked of the united Stales that the present extraordinary facilities accorded the conspirators shall be c ter tailed. But while our own-custom house officers are so lux in allowing the importation of dynamite, wo cannot greatly blame those of the United States for not stopping its export, [f England were at war with the States, the government at Washington would be compelled to suppress auy association -of citizens levying private war upon the English. Otherwise it would be disgraced os a civilized belligerent, and would provoke terrible reprisals. Because England is at peace vfith the States does it follow that the government at Washington ought to tolerate the inflection of a fund to pas for the destruction of British property and the slaughter of British objects’" Other papers adopt the same strain. The government is considering the advisability of the exten tion of the alien act, so as to give greater force to the executive for the expulsion from the United Kingdom of foreigners suspected of criui ■.in! designs agaiustdlife and property. The police arß possession of the evidence • hat one of the Valises seized in London was deposited in the railroad depot at Southampton iwo passengers from New York, Who landed at that .port Tne statement is published that tho French government-lias given assurances that it will assist in discovering the men engaged in the dynamite business, and that till vessels hemifter arriving at Prench*BOrts from America wni, theiHughly searchedAJllatk bag, made of American cloth, has be * found in the cloak-room of tjje Liidgate Hill station. Tho bag was deposited bn Monday. It-eoatained thirty or forty cakes of a wh’itislf yellow powder. Each packet was inplvjsed ini paper, and all were packed around a

small alarm clpck, to a pistol was attached. It was so arranged that when the clock - ran down it would fire the contents of a pistol among the packets. Cornwallis West, in a letter to the Times, says: ' The time has come for England to demand of a friendly government protection from Attempts of O'Donovan liosa and hL bloodthirsty crew.” The German newspapers, referring to tho dynamite outrage in London, say England is now reaping the fruits of her hospitality to anarchists and cut throats from all parts of the world. •The Brench government has decided to expel from France all suspected dynamiters.

Conway and'Theodore Martin were among tho distinguished persons present. The* Prince of Wales sent a letter expressing regret that he was necessarily absent. Earl Granville made a speech eulogizing the character of the American poet, and dwelt on tlie refinement which was the chief charm of this illustrious man. He referred in a feeling manner<o the presence of Longfellow’s daughters and Minister Lowell. Mr. Lowell also made a speech, in which he said Longfel low's was a nature which consecrated this ground, into which no uneleau spirit could ever enter. In conclusion he accepted the tribute to his memory, this placing his memorial in the poets’ corner, between the busts of Chaucer and Dryden, in the name of the American people. The Italiau Cabinet. Rome, March I.—The announcement that the Italian Cabinet had resigned was premature. The trouble in tho Ministry, which is still unsettled, arises from tlie fact that the House of Deputies —153 to 135—passed the university reform bill. The smallness of the majority caused a sensation, and provoked Baecelli, Minister of Public Instruction, to tender his resignation iiiipiediately. Depretis, Prime Minister, received the support of Baecelli Liguor Sella is mentioned as the man most likely to succeed Baecelli. _ Tlie Queen Alarmed. London, March 1. —The time and arrangements for the Queen’s journey to the Continent will not be known till the last hour.

She will thus be absent from*London during the entire season. The Treaty with Turkey. Constantinople. March I.—The Porte declines to accept Minister Wallace's Views that the treaty with America was not denounced at the proper time. The Porto maintains tlie legality of tlie denunciation, thus making tho treaty expire on June 4. The government is willing, however, to let the existing tariff remain in force until negotiations with other powers are concluded. It grants America, in the new treaty, the same advantages accorded to other countries. Buadlmigh Criticises Nortlicote. London.

William Thackeray Marriott, a Liberal member of the House of Commons, from Brighton, was re-elected by a majority of 1,317. Ho will be remenjbered during the debate on Sir Stafford Nortbcote’a resolution as censuring the government for its Egyptian policy. A Pennsylvania Tragedy. Hazelton, Pa., March I.—Early last evening, while the streets were thronged, a dreadful tragedy occurred on the corner of Bread and Pine streets. A young man, aged twenty-eight, named William Nichols, was standing near the entranee of 'Squire Shutter’s office, when he was approached by Edwin Brotheras, a well-known Englishman. ’ When within four paces of his victim. Brotheras made some remark about settling a difficulty that existed between them. Receiving no response, he drew a revolver and fired two shots in rapid succession, the first taking effect in Nichols’ right arm, the second entering his head at the ear. Brotheras walked a short, distance down Broad street until an excited crowd of spectators took up the cry, "Stop the murderer!" He then ran and was captured at the corner of tho r*xt block. Nichols cannot recover. The cause assigned by Brotheras for the shooting is that Nichols seduced his niece, Beatrice Eleanor Rsigg, an eighteen-year-old girl, who came to Hazelton last October.

A BAND OF BABY BRIGANDS. Tlio White Squaw of a I’litlaUelpliia Training School and Her Cow-Boys. Philadelphia Times. “John Kalor,”<said Miss E. M. Taylor, facing her pupils in the Thaddeus Stevens secondal'y scboolat Seventeenth and Olivet streets. In response to her summons a ten-year-old boy came slowly from his desk, nodded to a nine-year-old confederate, who whispered, “remember your oath,” advanced up the center aisle, faced his teacher and with his right hand resting oil, his hipTiocket, coolly said, “What does tho white squaw want with Schuylkill Jack?” Had this pertinent inquiry been made in Sioux it would not have astonished the teacher more than it did, and tho nine little fellows who, with “Schuylkill Jack,” form a secret oath-bound organization called the “Philadelphia Cow-boys,” looked upon their captain with pride. “Johnny, lam told you have u pistol. Where is it?” Captain Schuylkill simply muttered “Treachery!” and glanced around tho room in search of tlie face of u confederate willing to support him in his hour of peril, but their faces were buried in their books. ’ “Come with me,” said Miss Taylor, moving toward the private room, and the boy followed her. Then Miss Allen, the principal of the school, was sent for, and siui and Miss Taylor -succeeded in disarming the bold “Captain" Schuylkill,” who burst into tears when his seven-chambered revolver was taken from him, and his father was sent for. The father camo and carried “Jack” off in disgrace, While the teachers were subduing ‘ ‘Schuylkill” in the private room, the other “Philadelphia Cow-hoys” who had revolvers or bowie-knives with them sent their weapons out of tho building, and when a few minutes later the teachers searched them no arms were found. Captain Kaylor is the second commander that the "cowboys” of tile Thaddeus Stevens school have lost within a woek. for oh Friday last Captain Charley Bedford, aged eleven, was subdued by the teachers ana aisanned ot a navy revolver, which he had hoped to uso in slaughtering Indians next summer. Captain Charley has been imprisoned in his father's house. On Tuesday, in tho cellar of tlie Armstrong family mansion, Johnny Kalor was elected to succeed Captain Bedford, deposed. Tlie cow-" boys who were present when Captain Kalor took the oath and the ominous title of 1 ‘Schuylkill Jack” were William Armstrong, aged twelve; Charles J. Briggs, aged ten; Percy Baily, aged eleven, and John T. Boyle, aged nine. Kalor was one of the most advanced “cow-boys.” On the day after he was made captain of the band, “Schuylkill Jack” learned that one of the ton members had threatened to expose the plans of his companions. “Jack” placed his revolver at the head of the supposed traitor, and made him promise to reveal nothing. Tlie boy promised, and an hour later told life teacher the facts that led to the humiliation of “Captain Schuylkill,” and possibly tho destruction of au organization that has been in existence for many months. Several days ago Kalor convinced his companions that there were many things, such as hurling a bowie-knife with accuracy,"throwing a lasso, making a fire by rubbing two sticks together and eating raw meat, that the should be perfect in before they could reasonably expect to make their marks as “terrors” or “Indian slayers” on she plains. The hoys recognized tlie force of “Schuylkill Jack's” argument, but there was no place in which they could safely practice the necessary accomplishments referred to. On Monday the parents of “Cowboy” Armstrong went to New York to visit relatives, and since then the cellar of the house on Twentieth street has been the nieetbig-pkico of tlie hoys. There they made tents with ■ blankets from the Armstrong beds. There they spent hours hurling bowie and carving knives at a mark. There they wore tlie skin off the palms of their hands rubbing sticks together without making Arc, and there John Kalor showed himself worthy of being captain of the band by eating a pound of raw beef. For weeks they havo been laying in a stock of ammunition, and their revolvers were bought from Hissliburg, a pawnbroker ou Ridge avenue, near Vineyard street. Tlie teachers of Thaddeus Stevens’s school have for a l<pg time known of the existence of some secret among the hoys, but it was not until Wednesday that tho whole story came. out. Miss Allen is o£ tho opinion that riio minds of the hoys have been as much influenced by tbe pictorial painting of border plays at the theaters as by dime novels.

REPTILES. A Small and Dying Race—Their Rapid Disappearance. Popular Science Monthly. Reptiles are at present a small and dying race. They have seen their best days. But in the great secondary age, as Tennyson graphically puts it, “a monstrous elf was of old the lord and master of the earth.” At the beginning of that time the mammals had not been developed at all, and- even at its close they were but a feeble folk, represented only by yeak ciieatuues liltetho smaller pouched animals of Australia and Tasmania. Accordingly, during the secondary period the reptiles kad things everywhere pretty much their own way, ruling over the earth as absolutely as man and tho mammals do now. Liko all dominant types, for the time being, they split up into many and various forms. In the sea the|r became huge paddling enaliosaurians; on the dry land they became great, erect dinosaminis; in the air they became terrible flying pterodactyls. For a vast epoch they inherited the earth, and the* at last they began to fail, in competition with their own more developed descendants, the birds and mammals. (Jtie by one they died out before the face of the younger fauna, until at last only a few crocodiles and alligators, a few giant snakes, and a few big turtles remaia among the wee skulking lizards and geckos to remind us of the enormous reptilian types that crowded to the surface of the fiassic - oceaHS. Long before the actual arrival of true birds upon the scene, however, sundry branches of the reptilian class had been gradually approximating to and foreshadowing the future flying things. Indeed, one may say that at an early period tho central reptilian stock, consisting of the long, lithe, four-legged forms like the lizards, still closoly aHied in shape to tlioir primitive newt-uke and eol like ancestors, began do divide laterally into sundry important branches. Some of them lost their limbs and became serpents; others acquired bony bodycoverings and became turtles; but the vast majority went off in ouo or two directions, either as fish-like sea-sautians, or as bird-like land-sau-rians. It is with this last division alone that we shall have largely to deal in tracing out the pedigree of our existing birds.

Should Tildeu Be Nominated. Interview with Charles A. Dana. ‘ ‘Who was right about Tildeu, you or those who insisted he meant to have the nomination?” “I was right and they were wrong.” “How is he?” “He is very well for him, I believe, though I have not seen him for some time.” ‘ ‘ThereAs no doubt that his nomination would please thousands of Democrats. Do you oppose it, ad, if so, wfiy!" “No, Ido not oppose it. I have never opposed jt. I have said that he would not take it, but it is surprising how the people in all parts of the country are insisting upon the old ticket. This feeling has been nruoli strengthened by the rumpus about the tariff. Everybody feqfs that if Mr. Tilden could 1> nominated, tlje tariff business would he pushed by such a nomination into the obscurity proper to theoretical abstractions. As the case now stands, nothing seems to me more prohablo tha that the Democratic convention will nominate Mi-. Tilden and wait for his reply before proceeding any further.” A Man Wlio Can Talk to BismuriAc. Philadelphia Teleoi-aph. Suppose Minister Lew Wallace and Minister Sargent ehange places.' Bismarck seems to be desirous of meeting a man as tho representative ‘ of the United iStutqs who can “talk hack" and is not afraid to do so. General Wallace has won au enviable place among diplomats since he has been in Constantinople, and, if transferred to Berlin, he would maiutain the dignity of his government and not subfnit any nonsense upon the part of the autocratic' Chancellor. Temperance Folks and a Third Party. 8. hi. Merrick, in Un%tingtn Hprnjd. We do not hear of the liquor sellers organizing an independent political party. They do not spend their time and money Ut such nonsenso? They enter the political arena ia one baud, with

their liquors and money, -and sell themselves t:> the party that promises to protect their traffic. The temperance peoplo have manj’ bands and soqres of plans. They do not entei politics, but sit outside on a pine box waiting ‘lt. seo what our party will do.” As they see cor rupt politicians passing to the "convention hall they dry out, “If you don't put a prohibition plank ill the platform, well organize a prohibi. tion party." The liquor league controlled tli-j Democratic conuentions iu the last campaign. Temperance men could, if they were wise, con trol the Republican coil vent his year. Senator Sayre and County Expenses. Wabasti Courier. Two years ago Hon. Warreq Sayre, senator from this county, endeavored to secure the pas sage of an act fixing stated salaries for county officers, and tho Indianapolis press not only treated the matter with contemptuous indiffar cnce, but even took occasion indirectly to assaL’ it. Now, however, tlie Journal wheels into lino and is making the fur fly. Mr. Sayre on Mon day wrote that paper referring to the postion he took on the question in the General Assembly, and in Tuesday’s Journal a portion of hie lettei is published and made tho subject of editorial comment. Mr. Sayre is a wide-awake legislator, ranking far above tho ordinary assemblyman ir point of intelligence, and had tlie press of thr State supported his bill last session there would now be no occasion to howl. % Scandal Averted by Death.

HALF OUT OF HIS HEAD. “Blessed be the in an,” said Don Quixote’s weary squire, “who invented sleep.” Rancho’s gratitude is oui’3, but what if one cannot for any reason enjoy that excellent invention? “Nervousness in me hail become a disease.” writes Mr. William Colexnan, the wellknown wholesale druggist of Buffalo, N. Y. ‘ l I could not sleep, and ny night* were either passed in that sort of restlessness which nearly crazes a man, or in a kind of stiyior, haunted by tormenting dreams. Having taken Parker’s Tonic for other troubles, I tried it also for this. The result both surprised and delighted mo. My nerves were toned to eoncert pitch* and, like Caesar’s fat men, I fell into the ranks of those wlio sleep o’uights. I should add that*tlie Tonic speedily did away witli the condition of general debility and dyspepsia occasioned by my previous sleeplessness, and gave me strength and perfect digestion. In brief, the use of the Tonic thoroughly re-established my health. I havo used Parker’s Tonic with entire success for sea-sickness and for the bowel disorders incident to ocean voyages.” This preparation has heretofore been known as Parker’s Ginger Tonic. Hereafter it will be advertisedaand sold under the name of Parkers Tonicomitting the world “ginger.” Hiscox & Cos. are induced to make this change by the action of unprincipled dealers who have for years deceived their customers by substituting inferior preparations under tho name of ginger. Wo drop the misleading word all the more willingly, as ginger is an unimportant flavoring ingredieut in our Tonic. Please remember that no change has been, or will be, the preparation itself, and all bottles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrapped under tho name of Parker’-s Ginger Tonic, contain the genuine medicine if the facsimile signature of Hiscox & Cos. is at the boktom of the outside wrapper.
