NEw Yoiu , Jan 10.•—The Sun's L974don special say8:--Tne mail from Suakim brings despatches from Gen. Grenfell, among which is the latest and this time an ab- solutely authentic account of the last hours of Gen. Gordon. The account which has been officially declared to be true, is furnished by Demetrio Gorgie,' a Greek, ofKbartoum. lie says: "I was at Khartoum the night it was taken. THE NILE HAD (TONE BACK • so that a part of the city was open. Gordon did not construct fresh trenches and ramparts, be- cause he thought there was sufli- cient troops to defend the city. There were three thousand, 1 think. Tho gaps and alt round about were held by a. large force under Farig Pasha. That night I arig moved his troops, especially the blacks, from the gap as all the other soldiers were wanted on the other side. Gordon had perfect confidence in Farig. The attack took place at two points. A t. the largest gap there was no resis- tance. -IF THE BRITISH ARMY or even a few of them had arrived even one hour before the attack took place Khartoum would not have been taken and Gordon's troops would have fought to the last. Farig had sent word to the Mandi. It was a dreadful night. The air echoed with horrible shrieks, yells, lemon tntions and wailings and smelt of blood. I had three friends, Greeks, I has- ' toned to rescue them. I had two Mandist uniforms given me by an Arab friend, One I gave to ono friend, putting on the other my- self. It .was nearly • daybreak _ -when I took my friends to my house. Some Alaba—rushed-in- fr telling_ mo I ought to o to the Government bhouse—the seraglio they called it. At once I asked why They replied, 'All the great. officers of the Mandihave gong there • TO KILL 'GORDON PASHA.' When they saw that the third friend had no Mandist uniform on they slew him. We were then taken into the courtyard. I saw Gorden Pasha smoking a'cigar- • ' ette on the • balcony facing the river. Ile had entered •at the back of the palace, entering the yard where the sycamore tree is Georgio D..emetrico, the principal medical officer of the Soudan and . the Provinces; and Nicola Lemin- data, the Greek consul,. were' with 'him. • Five . hundred dervishes, who had been sent by the Mandi with special' orders to take Gor- don alive, stood at the 'foot of the staircase. I went up the .stairs, being sent by the .men below, who were vociferating 'Gordon Paha, Gordon Pasha:. Gordon coolly left the balcony. ' Fly,' •said the other' two, ' while there is yet time. Go in at the little door and take the boat.' ',Shall 1 fly and leave my post ?' • (IORDON REPLIED INDIGNANTLY, That indeed would be a disgraced I shall not fly.' Ile then went to his inner room and donned his full uniform and sword. Then he Came out and_ grandly drew him- self up to his full height. On his visage was a look of scorn. 'Whom seek ye ?' he tusked, on gazing at the sea of angry faces. 'Gordon,. Pasha,' they cried. 'You want him, doyoul 1amhe. Come up hither,'Gordon replied: On being again urged byDemetrico and the Greek consul to fly, Gordon repli- ed, 'For shame ; would you have inc abandon my post ignominious ly ?' He could EASILY HAVE ESCAPED at the rear then. As Gordon stood boldly facing the dervishes several superior Mandist • generals come up.. The dervishes allowed thein to pass, They ascended the stairs , and asked for the Pasha. Gordon met them, saying 'I am he,' and handed them his sword in military fashion, intimating that he knew thea they had taken the. place and that consequently he surrendered according to the usages of war. But Nassas, one of the generals, snatched hold of his sword, at the same time in it brutal and most cowardly manner striking Gordon 'an unexpected blow. The Basile would have fought desperately had he thought he would not be treated in an honorable manner. He fell rolling down. the stairs. As he ro'Ied another • General speared him on the left side, in- flicting. a•dangerous• wound.

"I came into town to.njgnt," said a farmer on Tuesday, 'for the express purpose of seeing the electric Light, I never saw it before, and I tell you I it is wonderful. Now, if we had that on the farm, there'd be no chance .for Elizabeth Jane to turn the light a1 - moat out when ebe and her young man occupies one chair in the front parlor.' 'Do you.know why Seeforth won't need the electric light,' jocularly asked a citizen the other day. A ne- gative answer being given, the citizen continued: 'Wtl!, the reason is this. being such an insignificant place,and situated between two towns like Clin- ton and Mitchell that are using the electric light, it gets, by reflex action, all the light that the darkened intel- ligence of the people rtqc�uire.' "Get them cattle uT yours that were streyed?" said a man to a farm- er the other day. "Yes, I got the heifer," replied the farmer, 'but I had some fun over it. You see I saw a stray, Heifer advertised in the NEW Era, and that's my heifer says I, so I'll go and fetch her home. It was about eine miles from my own place and when I got there, sure enough. my heifer was in tbe barn yard ; so I goes into the house and told the maa that I thought he hada heifer that belonged to me. He said he had a stray one there, but she'd been claimed by a neighbor across the road. Well says I, I'm pretty sure she's mine, but I won't swear to it. So I goes over to the neighbor's and asks them if that heifer over at Blank's was their's, and they said Well says I, you'll have to prove it; for she's mine. I drove home and went back next day with my hired. Irian, and asked him to pick out my heifer, which he did, and was willing to swear to it. •I asked the farmer jf the neighbor who also claimed her had been be k since, and he said no, so I paid the expenses of her keep to the farmer, who acted like a gentleman, and brought her • home. You've no idea," he candle ued, "how many men try to claim stray animals that 'don't belong to 'em, and I could name men with cat- tle in their fields that I fear were pro- cured bailie w.ay''.... _ _._• ... • Patti, it is -'id, has lost certain "notes of 'her voice.

He exhumed the body a few days ago, intending to carry it toanother burying place. Upon :opening the coffin the body was found pel'- 'fectly preserved, being completely petrified. Examination showed that a small spring of alkali water had been running through the coffin, and the action'of thejwater on the body had caused petrificat- ion,.

So highly are these remedies val- ued, that ignorant imitators have started up everywhere, pretending to destroy a parasite, of which they know nothing, by remedies, the results of the application of which they are equally ignorant.

Nathan S. Cleveland, 27 E.

I con- cluded that all her complaints originated in impure blood. and induced her to take Ayerts Sarsaparilla. This medicine soon restored her blood -making Organs to healthy action, and in due time reestab- lished her former health. I find Ayer's Sarsaparilla a most valuable remedy for the lassitude and debility incident to spring time." J. Cestright, Brooklyn Power Co,; Brooklyn, N.
