It 'is' beginning to dawn on Gladstone's iroird that he will not be allowed to abandon Egypt, and the telegraph in forms ns daily of the preparations made fr holding the country. Cook's tour ist ravy, steam, barge and sailboat, is to be pressed into service for Nile transport. The Mediterranean squadron has been ordered to Alexandria. Britisl soldiers in Egypt are to have their wires and families sent out to them where they are entitled to that privilege. Although El.Mahdi left El Obaid about the 20th of January with 1 men, he has not yet been reported within striking distance any Nile station, and may possibly have gone west to subdue Darf ur in stead of east te ward Khartoum.

Ho many Egyptian troops are in Darf ur we are not informed, but probably those who do not surrender may be massacred before help can reach The road from liassowah to Kassala appears to have been reopened if it has ever been seriously closed. The expedition from Khartoum to rescue the garrison at Sennaar failed, but the latter may out its way out yet. 'Gordon Pasha proba cy b)y left Aswan Thursday or Friday, and iv mar reach Khartoum before the middle of the month. He prudently left his half million cash at Aswan he will be supplied by the Khartoum Greeks. who will find their advantage in thereby effecting a secure and costless transfer of their funds, by taking drafts on the Aswan deposit.

The moat serioos situation now is on the Bed Sea coast, where the garrisons of Tokar (south of Suakin). and of Sin kat it may be, are doomed to massacr'. Baker Pasha haa bnt a small force and is advancing on Tokar with 8600 men; but it is said that nearly 20,000 rebels are between Trinkitat and Tokar. One fvrce Baker was to take to Tokar, eon tained specifications which amounted to about eeOO men. To add to the difScul ct the situation, the people of Sin traclkat are said to have eaten dogs, which shows, perhaps, they are on short ra tinna Between the Bed Sea, where Baker is operating, and the Nile, up which Gor don Is hastening, lies a desert 280 miles bread.

There was an Egyptian garrison of 4000 men at Hsrar in the GUa country, which is seven or eight hue died miles southeast of the Khar toam and sixteen hundred south seuth east from Cairo. They are armed with Kemingtons and Krupp guns, and have held the post for fifteen years.

The country is said by the Italian explorer, Count Antonelli. to be very fertile sugar cane, coffee and spices were formerly grown in abundance. The wretched revenue system, which is the cniee of Mohammedan administration, or at the least of the Turkish Empire, to which Egypt pertains, has checked cultivation. The garrison at Gondokoro is about eighteen hundred miles south of Cairo in an air line, and 3094 miles by 'the river. Gondokoro is a famous mis eienary station in the territory of the Bari negroes on the right ban of the White Nile, about 200 miles north of the fcortbexn end of Lake Albert (Nyanza).

The a ilitsry station at Gondokoro is nsm Ismaiiia. From the Egyptian pert of Zeila, on the Gulf of Aden, about to or to miles louth of the Strait of Bab el Masdeb, it is twelve hundred miles in an air lice (crossing the mocDtitet) to Ten Deltz, or ElFasher, tbe capital of the Egyptian province of Darfur this province was to have been restored to the eon of the late Sultan of Dai for, but lha tele sramj have related tbit the person who went with Gordon has been discovered to be not only a drunkard but the wrong man.

BYE BYE, BABY. Well the baby bonds are left by the Fiscal Agent to take care of themselves! They are, as it were, left out on the steps of their grandfather by reputation." Ha poor little things would haVe suffered, severely in the cold weather of the last few weeks, but now that the spring time is coming on a few nights out of doors may not prove a permanent injury to their constitution. They bear with them the photographs of the' offspring of the Auditor and Treasurer of the SUte, When they were born, though we do not claim now it was in iniquity, it was considered an honor to have impressed upon their faces the offspring of the Treasurer and Auditor of the State. The publio may not have appreciated the beauties of this species of our State securities. They have always been at a very heavy discount.

They looked like a formidable piece of financial work, bnt it seems the Fiscal Aent has regarded them as outside the pale of legitimate offspring, and, forsooth, because the $21,000 is cot on hand to pay the interest, that official igaorea their existence. It is trne the Fiscal Agent has now en deposit some thing like three quarters of a million of dollars belonging to the State; it is trne thatlan enormous deposit of State money has been carried by this bank for the past four years, and it has grown tat upon the provender thrown into its hand by the State Administration; it is trne that confiding in the powers that be it expects to fatten still more on the profits of handling the State moneys. and therefore can afford to let these poor little baby bonds go to protest. So may it be But the credit of ths State has not improved by it. AM USE ME NTS.

ST. JOSEPH'S CHURCH IN GRETNA, Two priests of the missionary order of St. Paul of the Cross have opened a mission at St. Joseph's Church Gretna. They are Rev.

Fathers Guldo and Leo. The former is grave and paternal In his manner, and the latter young, zealous and enthusiastic. They have attracted much 'attention by their earnest and eloquent ministry. The Church, which is nnder the pastoral obarge of Rev. Father Fraerlng, la in a flourishing condition.

A lady of piety and excellent taste, who has just visited the church, writes to the Picayune The church la humble in appearance, but the Interior has been made beautiful by the pastor. To the former edifice he added a sanctuary, two sacristies and pews. The main altar has been enlarged and is adorned by three beautiful statues. That of St. Joseph, the patron of the church.

Is placed over the said altar, and those of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary, on each side of it. The oil paintings representing the stations of the Holy Cross, and whlcn the pastor purchased in Paris three years ago, are the finest we have ever seen, and inspires one with great devotion. Considering the whole, there cannot bo a more beautiful little church in the diocese. DALLYING WITH THE DANCERS. The Camellaa.

And, as we have no Government bounty from which to provide the necessary aid and support of our comrades, we have, in accordance with a resolution, determined to appeal to the patriotic soldiers of the Union to unite with us in raising a fund for the object mentioned above. We therefore solicit contributions from all who may feel Inclined to contribute to so noble and praiseworthy an object, either in money or merchandise, whieh can be sold at the proposed fair. B. H.

Here is the reply which the men who wore the bine made to the Confederate Veterans. How nobly the old soldiers of the Republio respond to their ancient foemen; but, after all, it is just the response that the Virginia Veterans expected. Such is the manner of men who were first In the fight for their rights, first in friendship for charity's sake and peace. It is ss follows Hsadquabtkbs Howe post No. 3.

B. H. Fox, Chairman Committee B. E. Lee Camp No.

1, C. Richmond, Va. Dear Si Your circular letter of the 9th nit. did not reach me until the 20th. and waa read before the Howe Post at its first regular meeting.

Fully appreciating your noble and praiseworthy effort to aid your needy comrades, it was unanimously resolved to extend the helping hand, and a committee appointed to act in the matter at once. Our contribution to your fair consists of an oil painting representing a scene in plantation life. In tendering our mite we beg you accept our hearty wishes for the success of your fair and the fullest realization ef your brightest hopes in relieving the necessities of the boys who wore the gray. Very sincerely, your friend, W. SiMPses, Com'r.

The painting alluded to Is a very fine and realistic scene in a cotton plantation from tbe easel ef Walker. It la pretty and effective in color and accurate in details. Mr. Walker is a Prerapbaelite in his treatment of Lis subjects and they are always drawn with marvelous attention to even the most trivial features of his theme. This picture will attract attention in latitudes north of the cotton belt, and it may be accepted as an exact type of life on de ole plantation." A DEADLY QUARREL.

Twe Friends Fall Oat and the Revolver Is Brensht In as Arbitrator Oae Blaa la Jail and the Other la Deadly Peril. Yesterday afternoon a shooting affray occurred at Maglnnls's cotton mill, at the corner of Calliope and Annunciation streets, which resulted in the engineer, Mr. H. A. Hill, being shot in theright side and dangerously wounded by Edward Knight, Acting Superintendent of the miU.

Several days ago Mr. Albert Knight, Superintendent, left the city on a visit to his home in the North, leaving his son Edward In charge. Mr. Hill had charge of the engine and fire room, and yesterday afternoon Ed. Knight entered 'the boiler room and issued some orders to Bill.

The latter considered this an unwarranted interference In his department, and replied to Mr. Knight's order to that effect. Hot words followed, during which Knight called Hill a liar and Bill struck him. 1 Knight then walked to his home, which adjoins the mill on Calliope street, and next to Hill's house. He procured a double ao revolver and returned to the boiler room, where Hill and the negro fireman were at work Knight leveled his weapon and fired, the bullet taxing efiect in Hill's richt side.

Hill fell, and Knight ran out of the mill and back into his house. He then started out into the street on a run, pursued by a citizen namea jscs jnomas, On Fulton, between Notre Dame mnAA Tnll. anmA.A Tt.nn.ns Y. A fnHW and arrested nim. Jrr.

The prisoner was taken to the Cen tjvi station, where charges oLfhooting and dangerously wonndin TS.7 A. Hill were lodged a gaxcr The wounded man was eon TByetjyJVnrresldenoe, where Drs. Monette and Logan attended him, and at a late hour last night they declined to render an opinion as to the ultimate result of the wound. Hill was suffering greatly and was very weak from loss of blood. He has resided In New Orleans about a and has been during that time employed at the cotton mills.

Both he and Knight are men of family, and the wires of the two men. who were always on friendly terms, are greatly distressed at the result of the unfortanate quarrel. A FRACTURED SKULL, Inflicted with a Rock, which Causes the Death of a Renstabont On last Thursday Leroy Green, a colored roustabout, died at the Charity Hospital from a fracture of the skull, Inflicted with a rock in the hands of another negro roustabout, named Bob 8syers, now at large. It appears that on the morning of the 22d of last month Green was seated lnthe back room at Mr. Henry's barroom.

No. 7 Canal street, when Bayers came in the house with a rock wrapped up in a piece of brown paper and struck Green over the head with it and then walked off. At the time no one in the house gave any alarm or informed the police of what had happened. The wounded man was advised by Mr. Henry to inform the officer on the beat about the matter, when he answered that he did not know the name of the man who stiuck him and did not care to prosecute, as he thought the wound would not amount to mcch.

Leroy remained around the house for about three days and then went to the Charity Hospital, where he died last Thurs de Deputy Coroner hel an autopsy on the body and found that death had resulted from a fracture of tbe skull, producing Inflammation of tbe brain and death. The deceased was 25 years oi age, and a roustabout by occupation. Saver's description nas oeen leiegTapaea to ail stations and the police instructed to arrest him on sight. THE. BIKES VERDICT.

The Process by which the Jary Beaehed Their Unexpected ConetssUn. The verdict of the lury la the 8ykescas became town talk almost as soon as is came known. The process of the jury at arriving at conclusion was curious and Interesting. Upon retiring to their rooms iour immediately declared themselves for not guilty, and sat off by themselves indicating that dlscusFion with tnem was ueeteas. During the night four more went ovr to the.

acquittal side, and' onlyifour remained that aefrired to convict Sykes, not of murder, but of manslaughter. These were Foreman Menetre, Commerford, Brans and Spongier.
