the nrmy of Hicks Pasha haa been den
troyd by the force* of K1 Mnhdi, the
False Prophet. The fighting i* said to
have continued Ironi the .'ld to the . r >th

Hinted that n Herman arti*twH the only
pm-Hon who escaped. The forces of Id
Mnhdi comprised, it is estimated,2oo,
000 men, and included dervishes, Bed
ouins, niulnttoes, and regulars. The
battle was fought near Id Obeid. 1.1
Mnhdi first Kent forward the dervishes
declaring that they would vanquish the
enemy by divine aid. Subsequently the
regulars joined in the attack, and the
engagement became general. The army
of Hicks Pasha, which early in the
battle was divided into two bodies, was
subsequently reunited and formed in
to a square, which the forces of the
False Prophet broke after three days'
de-perate lighting. The force under
Hicks Pasha comprised 10,000 men, He
had with him 10 British officers. Mr.
O'Donovan, of the London /Ao'v Xtm,
•ind an artist connected with a Herman
illustrated paper, also accompanied his
trmy. It is understood that Sir Kvelyn
Baring has advised the Kgyplian Uovern
merit to abandon Soudan and establish
strong frontier line from Khartoum
in the north of the Sennaar Province,
to Saukin, on the Bed Sea.
The London AVer Cairo correspnn
dent says Hicks Pasha bad divided his
army, sending half told < >bied lode
maud the surrender of that place. He
awaited the arrival of the Mahdi, who
was advancing from the southeast. The
Mahdi, however met the half of Hicks
Pasha artny advancing to LI tibeid and
attacked it. Hearing the firing Hicks
Pasha came up with his whole force and
formed a square. The Mahdi brought
up fresh regulars, who, it is supposed
were the soldiers who were captured
when LI < bied fell, and who agreed to
take service under the Mahdi. These
numbered 3,000. The square of Hick
Pasha was then broken and his army
was annihilated.

Mr. <l. W. Cooke' A book on (leorge

which thoughtful readers will not he
slow to tind out. As a study it is far
richer in material mid more fruitful in

for a guide to writings which arc them

extremely valuable.

Lowes. I had opportunities while liv
ing in I ngland to get first hand ten
tiniony in regard to the character of
Lewes in his earlier life, the real facts as
to his tirst marriage, in which he wan
more immoral and profligate than his
faithless wife was, and the truth as to
the heart wretchedness of (ieorge Ml I iot
while trying to make the best of the
mistake into which Lowes, by deception
had betrayed her. The assertion so
much insisted on in various quarters
that a rare happiness came to I ieorge
HI iot from what is called her marriage
is as contrary as possible to the real
truth, which was that, apart from her
faithful efforts to make the host of the
case for everybody, she was one of the
most wretched and suffering of human
beings. The true story of her life has
yet to be told. The story that has been
told for so many years as to Mr. Lewes
never bad any truth in it. It wan first
used to cheat (ieorge Eliot into a rela
tion, which with any suspicion of the
truth her soul would have, abhorred ;
and it has been used ever since to make
current !utory tell liea favorable to
Mr. (>. H.Lewes, tieorge Eliot, when
It was too late, made the best she could

lies had betrayd her ;hut it was out of
her own heart, in the great story which

the woman who feeds that the chief
relation of her life Las been no more
than a mistake. She lias lost her crown."
The facts which are the key to tin- true
fife of a lady of the highest character
who lived in Lewes family at the time
that his first marriage • made "un
happy in away much more -damning to
the name of Lewes himself than to that
of his faithless wife. The ci cumstance
were such as made a eleven- lie atmut
the situation very easy, and on that lie
rested the "marriage" of (ieorge Lliot
with Mr Lewes. How shev.as betrayed,
bow she tries! to make the lNt of it
and what her real life was, can be made
out clearly enough, when one has the
key. from her many reflections, of her
self and I.ewes in different aspects in
fiction, and from evidence which, in
spite of industrious propagation of the
false story, ha* com# to light. 'I here

PiTTni a-., Dec 2.—>-nco the in
auguration of the strike among the
win-low glass makers over 100.000 bo::ea
of glass have been imported to this
city. Five years ago the annual foreign
importation of glass was reduced froat
1,01)0.000 to .100.000 boxes, but the
late strike ha revived the importation
and it is asserted that will again reach
1.000,000 boxes. The blowers and man
ufacturers both view Ibis fact with
favor, the blowers asserting that the
manufacturers cannot afford to see the
im|>ortalion inerease while their furn
aces are cold, and the employers in
sitting that the large importation must
prove to the strikers their assertion at
the present cost of production. The
prospects of a settlement are no bright

LONDON, December I.—The trial of
Patrick O'Donnell for murder of James
Carey was resumed this morning at Old
Bailey police court. The room was
crowded with spectators, including a
number of ladies.
The jury retired at 0:55 i\ s.
LONDON liec. I.—O'Donnell was pro
nounced guilty of murder about 'J
o'clock. The judge's charge to the jury
wu* in several respects almost equal to
a death sentence against < t'Donnell, and
the prisoner's counsel seemed to give
up hope when they heard it. One of
the strongest points in the charge was
that, if two men quarreled and one kill
ed the other, the determination to kill
might huvo been formed after the first
excitement of the struggle had sub
sided and could be considered premedi'
tut ion. The jury asked if it was mur
der for a man to shoot another whom
lie believed was about to shoot him.
The judge replied that it might or
might not be; but, in this case, no evi
dence had been | roduced to show that
Carey intended to shoot, fieri. Prior
considers that up to this ho or his client
bad some chance for acquittal, but that
this settled the jury against him.
In a few minutes the jury came in
again with their verdict of guilty,
O'Donnell seemed to be in agony,
and uttered a cry of despair. Regain
ing partial control of himself he stood
up with a defiant air to receive sen
t<-nce. After it had Wen pronounced,
be said "Judge, I want to say some
thing that will forever ring in the
heart* of the Irish people.'' Judge
Denman pretended not to hear the
request, and aked the clerk what
O'Donnell wanted. The clerk said he
wanted to pe*k. The judge merely
said "Oh," and the court officers taking
this a* a refusal, grasped ' ''Bunnell and
hurtles! him away. He struggled,
fought anil yelled all the way out of
court and down the stairs, shrieking:
"Thrvw* cheers for Ireland! doodbye
to the f : nited State* ! To hell with the
I'.ritisb Crown 1" etc.
He was confined in New gale. An
exciieo crowd around the court room
wa* dispersed by a false announcement
that the prisoner had been acquitted.

\> NI- N, December I.—'The Txurt pub
lished a dispatch from Khartoum, dated
on Friday, which states that a Copt
merchant, who witnessed the battle
fw-tween the Egyptian army and the
force* of F.l Mabdi, raw Ala F.d Deep
Pasha, (iovernor of Khartoum, killed at
the opening of the battle. He states
that Hick* Pasha was slain by a lanre
on the tlnrd .lay f the battle, when the
lsnt cartridge of the Egyptians had been
fired. The men in Hicks Pasha's army
had then been without water for three
•lays, and the soldier* were offering
four dollars for a drink. The fugitives,
if any from the Egyptians, must have
been slain rapture! while making for
well known wells.

Now that O'Donnell ha* been con
victed and sentenced to death there
will Lea great deal of sympathy ex
pressed for him, because he killed a
man of despicable character, it ia true
that Carey saved his own neck by turn
ing traitor to his companions in crime.
He was without doubt equally guilty
with tbom and deserved death. Rut
hi* punishment should have come at
the hands of the law. It was not right
that any man should take the indi
vidua! responsibility of punishing
Carey by death. If he did so he must
expect to be considered as a wilful
murderer. Had O'Donnell been ac
quitter! an exceedingly dangerous pre
cedent would have been established and
virtual license would have been given
by the courts of justice for the killing
of all informers. There is danger of
indulging in fatae statement* in O'Dori.
nell'scase. The preceding contempti
ble course of Oarey and lie influence
upon O'Donnell caanot be considered.
It wu plain to the jury from the evi
dence that he had committed murder
in the first degree, and if the law wax
to be sustained and vindicated there
vu nothing to do but convict him.

a heap of good could tie have got within
striking distsnoe of even a twenty tbou
sand dollar stock holder in any of the
railroad* entering Detroit. To the
several queries a* to what was on bis
mind, he finally replied : " I was coming
in from Dearborn this morning, a walk
ing on the track. My dog Rom bo wa
with me. I've had that dog five years,
and have Icen offered fifty dollars for
him. lie was a little green about rail
road* : but on everything else be was as
sharp as a razor. We had got down
about a mile this side of the village,
when 1 saw a tra n a-mmtng.'
"And stepjHd aside?"
of course I did. I own one hundred
and sixty acres of land, and am a
Highway Commissioner; but I ain't
fool' nougb to think Ibi higger'n a
railroad train."
"Rut the dog ?"
"He stopped, too. 1 reckon it was
the fu*t time he oTer saw a train ; but
he'd have bin all right if the engineer
hadn't begun to toot. The minit he
heard that tootin Rom ho begun to
brittle, and while the train was five
hundred feet away he started down the
track to meet it."
"Then-?''
"Wall," said fhe man, a* he mopped
hia forehead -. it was a leetle too much
furbim. An engine and five oar* ought
to git awav with a dog any day in the
year. He rix about twenty feet high, 1
reckon, took a slant to the left; and
when he come down be broke the
top off a small tree."
"Well?"
"1 motioned fur the engineer to stop
the train as soon as the dog started.
He could have done it, but wouldn't.
Indeed, when the train went past me,
he leaned out and laughed—yes, air,
laughed in my face."
"And you want damages?"
"I do I I want the worth of that dog,
and |6OO for the shock to my nervous
system. 1 '
"Have you any proofs ?"
"I should smile I Even when I'm all
broke up. I don't try to put the right
boot on the left foot. See that!"
And he drew from hia pocket a
hind leg, two paw*, an ear and a piece
of the Inat canine's tail, and spread
them on the bench. There waa an
expressive silence in the crowd, and
then the Highway Comtniasioner called
out:
