Each has tho same remarks, re- poatod tbros times, on the outsMe of tho journal, to tho effect that it sUould bo pruned down prior to publication. Tho lournnls wore tended over to Bir WUwn on Jau. 22, at Metemna, by the of- llcer commnucling Gen.

Gordon's Following nro extracts: "If it is right to up an expedition no why wns it not ripht to send it up Im- fovo? It la all very well to say one oughtjto consider the difficulties of tSe government, but it is not easy to got over a feeling that a 'hone existed of no expedition being Ba rv owing to otir having An for iiivsdlf personally, 1 feel no particular rancor on tho subject; but I own to show that I like men, whoever they mny bo who act in such a calcuintiu.T; way, and 1 do not think one Is bound to act tho hypocrite's part aud pretend to be friendly toward thorn. 1 do not judge tho question of nbaudoning the garrison or not; what 1 Hiulso the uvlocbion of the government. Tl-oy did not dare to suy, 'Abandon the gar 1 so thoy prevented mo leaving for the cnuator, with the determination not to relieve me, and the hppo-well, I will not nay what their hope was. 'March, April, he ought to hare surrendered; to said six Thore is my point of complaint. "A heavy, lumbering column, however strong is nowhere in this loud.

Parlies of forty 'or sixty men moving swiftly about do more than any column. If you lose two or three, what of it? It is the obanco of war Native allies, above all things, at whatever cost. It is the country of the irregular, uot of tho regular. I can suy I owo the defeats in this country to having artillery with mo, which delayed me much, and It wns tho artillery with Hicks which, iu my opinion, did tor him. "I altogether decline tho imputation that 'the projected expedition has come to relieve me.

It has come to save our national honor in extricating tho garrisons, from a portion in which Egypt has placed these currisons. I was relief expedition No 1 "hey relief expedition No. 3. As for I could moke Mod.my retreat at anv moment it I winhed. Now realize "would hapfielTif this first relief ox- ucdltlon was to bolt, and the steamers fell Into tho hands of tho Mahdi.

This sscond relief expedition (for tho -honor of England engaged la extricating garrisons) would be wTuowlmt hampered. Wo, tho first and Bocoud expeditious, are equally engaged for the honor of England. This is fan- logic I came up to intricate the garrisons, and failed Earle comes up to extricate garrisons' and (I hope) succeeds. Earlo does not come to. extricate me.

The extrication of the garrisons was supposed to affect our honor. 1 If Earle the honor 1 thanks bim, ana, I hope, rewards him; but it is altogether independent of me, who, for failing, incurs its blame. I am not the rescued lamb, and I will jiotbo. "As for her majesty's government keeping tho Boudiro itsstt, it is out of tho question, for you could not get men to servo bore except under great salaries, aud supported with large forces. And as for giving it back to Egypt, iu a couple ot years wo would havo another Mahdi.

Therefore, our choice lies tjotweeu Kuban: and Turks. Therefore, give the country to the Turks. "My idea is to induce her majesty's gov- Wnment to undertake the extinction of all the people of tho garrisons now hemmed in or captive, and if tbisisnot their programme then to resign my commission aud do what 1 can to attain object. As long as a man remains iu her majesty's service he is bound to obey the orders of his superiors; but if ho resigns he cannot be held as insubordinate he disobeys. I say this bo- caui-o I should bo sorry for Lord Wolseley to advance from DougcJa without fully knowing my views.

If her majesty's government are going to abandon tbe garrison, then do not advance. "It is a miserable country, but it is joined to Egypt, and to my idea it would be difli- pult to divorce the two. When cue thinks of the enormous loss of life whic'a has taken place in tho Soudan sluce 1880, and the geu- oral upsot of all government, ono cannot help feeling vicious against Sir Auckland t'alvin, Sir Edward Maliet, and Sir Charles Dilke, for it is on account of these three laen, whoso advice was taken by her umjasty's government, that all these sorrows are due. We are an honest nation, hut our diplomatists are cronies and not officially honast. I declare solemnly that if it were not for the honor's sako of our nation I would let these people slide.

They are of the very feeblest nature, and the Arabs are ton times better; becauHO they are weak there is so much the reason to try aud help them, for 1 think it was because wo were such worthless creatures that our Lord camo to deliver us. 1 think it is a groat shame uot giving me Xubar Pasha, for he would know how to deal with these people. They are the weariness of my life. From February until now they havo boeu'one continued worry to me, aud I expect they worried tbe Arabs us much. As for those wretched Sepoys, they are useless.

I have tho greatest contempt for tho pure Indian Bepoys. I hnto those Kuake-like creatures. Any mau accustomed to judge by faces sees that they hate us. I would back the Mussulmans of India against the lot of those snakes. India, to me, is not an advantage.

It is the fcnfcre of ftU party iutrigue, while if our energy were devoted uliowhere it would produce tenfold. India sways all our policy to our detriment, "1 think Col. fc hard on our men as to their cowardice. They are not heroes, I grant, but they are not, to my miud, eiitira cowards. "I must say I am against doctors.

If a mau la suffering intense pain, and is iu a more or less desperate condition, I would givo aa much morphine us would still that pain. There Is nothing like a civil war to what skunks men are. Ono of my greatest worries are the Bbagsyeh, who are continually feathering toward me or toward the Mahdi. I expect both sides despise them equally.

I must say that I feel it a great compliment when my councilors say to me: 'Do what you think irrespective of our when they know I am ignorant of all that gow on, ignorant of the Arabic language, except In my style, Ignorant of the Aral) customs, etc. 'You will do better than vvliut we is what thoy say, and poor devil, dn not know whore to turn. Oul our government, our government I what has it not to answer for? No to mo, but to poor people.

Mohammed Boy Ibrahim appeared to-tlay with regular wings, rattier ragged, his collars up'o his ours, regular orthodox patterns. 1 must say I hate bur diplomatists. "I dwell on the joy of never seeing Great Britain again, with its horrid, wearisome dinner parties and miseries. How wo can put up with those tiling passes my imagination.

It is a perfect bondage. Atthosedin- ncr parties wo are nil in monks, saying what wo do uot bollovfl, eating and drinking things wo do not want, and then abusing one another. I would Booncr live like a dervish with tha Mahdi than go out to dinner every uighl iu London. I hope if any English general comes to Khartoum ho will not ask mo to dinner. Why men cannot be friends without bringing their wretched stomachs in is astounding.

It certainly is a curioi-8 exemplification how very lightly religions sit on mon, and to noto tho fearful apostacy of both Mnmiilninniand Christians when their lives aud property aro menaced. There ia scarcely ono great, family of the Soudan families who can triite their pedigree for 500 years who havo not accepted Mohammed Aehmot ua umhdi to savu their property, though thoy laugh at tlio Id'rn afterward. I am afraid to what numbers have boon killed through this present policy. Certainly some wielltisiiot yet over. For my part, I liopo they (the Arabs) will all run away.

Wo have a most effectual way restored tho slave Ira-Jo and slave hunting, for her majesty's government cannot keep tho Soudau, and nevar will Egypt be nblo to govern it. Tho only thing to be done is to give it to tho sultan. What an end of tho diplomacy of hor majesty's government, nnd it was so when I left in January, 1880, to havo sottlod it quietly, giving up Kordofau, Dari'nr aud Bohr Gazelle, and tho equator with decency and quiet.

Patience Is almost exhausted with this continuous, apparently nover-eudiug trial. There is not one department which I have not to superintend as closely us if I was its direct head.

The committee reported having fulfilled its mission, that assurances had boon given by Archbishops Ryan and Gibbons that nothing could be found in tho aims of the Grand Army to prevent any good Catholic from becoming a member." Tho commonder-in-chief deprecated participation in politics as an organization, aud' urgently advocated tlio Mexican Pension bill and a bill to grant disabled soldiers pension from tho data of disability.

A beautiful piano duett was played by Miss Sallio O. Rpanglor, tho efficient music teacher of the Institution, and one of hor smaller pupils, MagRlo Coo- var. Prayer was then offered by Ilov. Dr. Johnston, when Ills Honor being In- tniduoed, stepped forward, and lifter some well chosen Introductory rcmarkx, announced subject: "Tho purpows nnd t.ho dllHoulllen of true ed- ucullon." Tho speaker thought, that the evident tomk'iiey of the present time was to dwell loo much on the practical wide and to ignore the fact that, mental discipline is of prime Importunes.

NludonUi attend college almost wholly for training and discipline. Mental forces must bo ileve.l»i>e,d and brought, under control by exorcise, and Ntiidonln should cheerfully submit themselves In the discipline prepared for them. Tho process of mental discipline does not owl with tho completion of the college corn-no; It is life long, constantly renewed and carried on amid tho active duties of dally 1Kb. In practical life, education 1ms Its promise of groat rewards but also meets with deadly dangers. ISilnoatlon Is a pomonal matter; It is simply solf-dovolop- meut.

Tlic Jiulgo named tbroo loading dlfllwiltloH with which cdueiitlou him to deal: First, tho obscurity cast about true education by many of the oratont of tho ilny, who would make tho world's progress In scientific Inventions the Index of education. Tho progress of iho age, Irt to large extent other people's progress, but wo ourselves must move by conscious pct-Konal effort. The world's progress is a condition to our advancement, and If wo do not make use of tho conditions wo have, wo have no progress. Second, Tho power of habit, which is acting to-day from tho motives of yesterday. Its tendency Is more to drag us down than to lilt us up.

Habit has been compared to a garment, but Is more. It is not from without but from within; not a more crust but a part of Uio Inner structure of tho character. It works a change In the fiber, Is not necessarily per- niclouH, but may bo turned to noble uses. Third, the tendency to make education an end in Itself. Discipline Is to no purpose of Itsolf and Is simply a means to tlip highest end of human ennobling of tho Individual.

Tho Ntrongth- oning of tho moral attributes in to tho highest aim of discipline. Tho mental and the moral cannot; bo separated and nothing satisfies man's nature In all Its parto but that which looks to his moral Improvement, Ideas, sentiments, and moral truths bo at tho root of all the world's progress. Patriotism and justice to tho oppressed arc sontlmonts that Inspire to deeds of HoH'-saorlfloo ami oiulur- anco In peace and In war. Materialism is passing away. Hold fast to tho truth that education IH tho cultivation of Individuality and that the eternal things are those not seen, Tho Judgo'B remarks wore well received and proved abundantly to tho audience that, ho had given thin trite subject much time and careful thought.

His Ideas wcro all couched In tho choicest language, and tho above abstract Is far from doing credit to him, Would that tho truths which ho uttered could And entrance into RAllroitd Aceirltftt.

LONBON, Juuo The queen baa COB- tbo outer of live Carter upon t)w New and Old Potatoes. An exchange says: Has It over occurred to heads of families the amount of pains and sickness caused by eating new, unripe potatoes? Probably there is not a person whu has arrived at maturity but who has not fell the evil effects of eating unripe potatoes, and yet they go on from year to year until a severe attack of sickness warns them that il is time to come to a halt. These remarks are not applicable to potatoes that aro fully ripe, but for half grown ones. As a rule old potatoes are as yet far more healthy than the average new ones on the market.
