WHAT 18 A 1)hllVISiI ?
J[. \'autbery wines' to the St.
James' Guzrt& at follows :-1)er-
vish is a Persian word, and its
derivation, er rather cotepoeition,
.is still the object of controversy.
Some say that it, is. derived from
der vis—a tm'ly; onii wlio lies at
the, dour'; while ethers believe it is
ti coi'ruptioufrotti der pish or der.
bish—name:ly, one who is in ad-
vance, a heal- a chieftain ; Rual,
considering that the dervish is
looked upon as a spiritual chief in
the eyes of the lower clnesea of the
Moslem world, I consider this
latter derivation more probable, and
I consequently adhere to it.
Dervishes, or nt.entbers of a sacred
brotherhood, have always enjoyed
great consideration in the eyes of
the lower Blesses in the East ; and
although • not a:knowledged by
orthodoxy,. they have • been at all
times the leaders of the masses, by
whom' they are blindly followed
and venerated. As is generally
knowu, all monkish and religioue
orders are contrary to the spirit of
the Horan, and are even expressly
prohibited by Islam. But, in spite
of all this, they sprang up very
early in Persia, and, having spread
from the first named country to the
rest of the Moltatnntednu world,
the Persian word has been gener-
ally adopted, and is now cnrrout.
Of course, the lower the level of
civilization the higher is the con-
sideration enjoyed by the dervishes,
and I can felly realize the weight
and the power the dervishes ,Bust
have with the uncivilized natives of
Central Africa. Now as to the
dervishes in Africa. 1 do not
know precisely whether they be-
long to the order of ]iadri or Djelali;
but I know that they are headed by
a descendant of the famous Sheik
Senoussi, whine) seat is, or was, at
K•tirollan, in the desert, the great-
est hot -bel of Moslem enthusiasm
all over the wort], and, [ may add,
at the sante time the stronghold of
Moslem propaganda in the 1)arlc
Continent, From the little we
know abo,it the religions move-
ments in the northern half of
Africa, it is pretty clear that the
rise and progress of the tlahin) far
from being favored by the orthodox
followers of Mehemet, was found
particularly objectionable by the
adherents of the Sheik Sonousei,
who, front the beginning, wore
inimical to whet they called the
false prophet ; anti no sooner were
his fortunes declining than they
took arms against him, and, inherit-
ing his position in the Soudan,
they very naturally continue the
work bugun by the Mehdi,—name-
ly, the attack upon the Egyptians
and erten the Englist, two nations
which are identical in their eyes.
The Mandi was ridiculed by the
(Vehemetan world. But the follow-
ers of Sheik Senoussi—I mean
these "dervishos"—possess the aym-
Itathios of their brethren all over
the world ; and if the English
Government is seriously bent upon
tul6lliug its duty towards Egypt, it
should arrange ntattets with the
Sultan uf Turkey ; for it is only
the Khalil' who is acknowledged as
the head of Islam by Sheik Sono
ussi, and to him it would be an
easy thing to arrest the match of
the dervishes and to put a stop to
the bloodshed in the Soudan.

OUR ENVIOUS SHREWD
.NEIGHBORS,
It seetus•to grieve the New York
Sulo that Canada has a national
debt. This national debt amounts
to $285,768,656, a large proportion
of which was incurred for the
improvement and extension of that,
facilities of transportation in the
Dominion. Railways have been
built and canals have been construct-
ed and improved, but the number
of immigrants who have come into
the country is not as large as it
should be. At least so thinks thq
Sun, It aaanres its readers that the
Canadian provinces ere standing
still, that more people leave this
Country for the United States every(
year than come into it from other
lauds, that a million Canadian
have found homes in the Unite
States, and that Canada is snore lik
an old and exhtlusted country than
a new and yet undeveloped ono.
This is rather a melancholy picture,
and liable to give one the doleful
dumps, wore it 'not that the Sun
has a remedy fur all the HIS with
which the unfortunate county is
afflicted. The remedy is annexa
lion. "As States of the Arttt.ric:ut
union free and Sovereign, the pro-
vinces of the. Canadian Dominion,
now so sluggish, would forthwith
advance equity with the rest Jf the
republic, population would inoresN,
the volume of trade would swell
and the land would be more valu-
able." But if it be the case that
Canada is such a woe -begone coun-
try how comes it that our neighbors
are 80 anxious to take it in as a
partner in the republic? And how
is it that they threaten to shut out
Canadian railways in order to pro-
tect American lines from competi-
tion in the American carrying trade?
And why do they seize the vessels
of these unfortunate Canadians
when found catching a few seals in
Behring Sea? And bow is it they
are so mean as to despoil our des-
pairing people of their mackerel
,and codfish if their condition be tis
pitiable as it has been represented 1
The American.people are shrewd
bargainers and if they thought the
Cauadittnt were such a broken down
lot and Canada such a woo begone
place as some of their ,journals aro
trying to make out they would• ex-
hibit a • good deal less anxiety to
annex it to their own,—Montreal

CURIOUS TR[PLE•l'S.
The farmers of the township of
Teeninseh, . iu South Simeoe, are
greatly interested at present in a
strange freak of nature which has
taken place in their midst, being
nothing loss that a cow giving birth
to two Iambs and n calf.
'l'he interesting event occurred on
the farm of John Henry Carter, lot
4, 8th concession line, on Sunday,'
Apri114, and, when the news spread
abroad, so many people wanted to
see the curiosity that il[r. Carter
fivally decided to get rid of them
and disposed of the cow and her
erog.•uy • to Isaac M. Cross, an
enterprising young farmer of Bond
head.
The animate were removed to
Tottenham and a few days ago the
Globe was invited to send up a man
to ewe the stock and investigate in-
dependently the correctness of the
story.
Stitrtidj; out ou Saturday a repor-
ter reached Tottenham iu the even
ing and immediately proceeded to
the barn where the wonderful cow
and her family were located.
.At a first glance the reporter was
rather disappointed in the lambs,
having entertained some vagne ideas
on the subject, and hoping to 80134
fully developed calf with the face
of a lambitr vice sorsa, But they
appeared to his uneducated eye to
be ordinary Iambs and nothiug
more. This was at a first glance.
A subsequent careful examination
and comparison with other lambs of
the some age showed
A MARKED Di'FEl(I NNE.

darker and iu tutvards the pelt it is
like the hair on a maltose cat; theta

""!ain't no' way likely that you
ever seen that tatut o' mine up back
u' (.)uioulUwi, a couple o' mile, but -
that don't- maks no difference. I
use to raise quite a little rye on that
farm, but it wasn't, a very rapid
way to colo Money and one day a
year ago I got to thinkiu' and to
tigi•riu'. The way of it was this : I
had drily into Onioutown and sold
a load o' rye. Rye wasn't rutin'
very high in the market jest then
and all 1 got a bushel fur my load
was 30 cents. After I got toy
money for it I dropped into .Jonny
Robinson's Onioutown saloon to
take the chaff out o' my throat be -
for I went home, 13111 Glass and
Jack ]Jar was in the place and I
asked 'cin both up to have some -
thin'. We all took a little o' 'the
old stuff. The bill was 30 cents and
•
1 paid it and went out. A soletmt-
lookitt' chap that was holdin' down
a chair in the place tottered ate out.,
ti 'It's kind o' queer,' says he, in
a bass voice, 'that it takes jest a
bushel o'rye iu the bulk to pay fel
less'n half 0' point of RS juice, han't
it?' 'he :says, ' .
• "That idee struck me. like at swat
bit the jatw. 1 hadn't never •looked
at it that wary. •
"I'll he jigged if that haiu't •so,
stranger,' says I, after a spell.
"Yes,' says he, sleeper on his
bass than ever. 'Attu that haiu't
the hull of it.' he says. 'figgers
won't lie, and they tell a curious
story on this subject. You plow,'
he says, 'and you sow. and you reap,
and you dray your rye to market by
the sweet o' your brow' 'and you
sell it for 30 cents a bushel. Just
look at it for a minute, and re-
member that figgers won't lie. Fol-
low a bushel o' your rye,' he says.
The all-absorbin' distiller takes it.
Hb drains out o' that bushels o' rye
just four gallons of raw whisky.
Some says ho gits a lootle tnor'n
that, but four gallous is nigh
enough. What does it cost him to
git ;that four gallous o' whisky out
o' your bushel o' rye? It costs him
jest 40 coots a gallon, or $1,60 for
the four. 'These is platin figgers,
and figgers won't lie, says this
solemn man with the base voice.
''There you Bre,' 'ire says. 'Your
bushel o' .ryo stands the distiller in
jest $1.90 up to ditto. '1'heu he has
to fork out 90 cents tor each one o'
them four gallons o' whiaky to pay

"'Now,' he says, 'jest, look a lit-

handy to the jobber, and the ,jobber
hands it to the wholesaler, and the
wholesaler betide it over to the re- t

solemn [nett, 'or will you rise up

land?' says he.
"I didn't say which I'd do, but
I went home a-thinkiu' hard, and
the upshot of it was that I made up
my mind to quit raisin' rye.
"'This ru o er don't git no

'aha let somebody Ilse sell rye in

juice for $48. Figgors won't lie,
and that's what they say ken be did,
as plaiu us twice two is four.'
"So I sold my farm and bought
Jobuny Robinson's Ouiontown

$36 on every bushel o' ryo I sold.
That was six mouths ago. I sold
a good many bushels iu that time
and figgetud and proved my figgers

come out ou paper jest as the solemn
man had said, but somehow the cash
on hand didn't tally up with the
figgers. 'Pother day I was figgerin'

looked at mo a spell.
" `Stranger,' I says, 'what do you

"' 1.'hese figgers wou't,' he says,

''('hese figgers say that Jack Popham

"Well, the sheriff has gut the aha•

A'SCOTCH MINISTER AND
THE DEVIL.
A PECULLt'R CHARACTER.
'l'ite Scottish History Society
have just published ' The Diary of
the Reverend John Mill, minister
of parishes of ] )unrossness, Sand •
wick and Cuuningsburg, in Shet-
land, 17.40.1803." Commenting
ou this Diary the Gla., oer Herald
says:—
The ,ltoverend John mill, cui•i-
onsly enough, While fasted for the
sauctity of his character, was
reputed to .have a familiar per-
sonal acquttinteuce with Satan,
this conviction having docend
ell even to the . present day. It
is evident front the 'Diary that.
the minister pot ouiy had a firm
belief in the malign persouality of
the Devil, and in the demoniacal
possession, but also conceived that.
he hot} .hirnselt• personal dealings
with the Enemy. 'It is' but right to
state, however, that Mill, had uo
heroic conception of Satan, and
treated titin with contempt, going so
lift' on one occasion as to call hitu 'a
dammed rascal for his lying impu-
dence.' There is a .story told that
once when Mr: Till was adminis-
tering the Sacrament, Satan entered
and took his place at. the communion
table. ' Mr. Mill knew him,' says
the narrator, ' and began to speak
in all the doop languages, last of
all in the Gaelic, and that beat him
altogether.' So he went off like a
Hock of doos over the heads of the
folks out at the west door. Many
of ;the people swooned.' The Eu-
emy, however, usually appeated in
more appropriate .form of a black
sheep, and thus disguised used to
induce people to throw themselves
over the cliffs—unless Mr. Mill
happened to be in', -the neighbor-
hood, for the minister invariably
broke the shell and forced the Evil
Ono to ignominious flight.
Indeed the minister was a born
gladiator, and when not fighting the
Devil was waging war with the
heritors, the Presbytery parishion-
ers, and even his servants. Occas-
ionally to give vent to his natural
combativauoss, be would engage in
a vigorous heresy hunt.. At one
time he began to pi each down eat-
ing and drinking, and in order to
streugtheu his doctrine lived upon
water alone. He curried this oil
until ho fainted one dry in the pnl •
pit, but when oil regaining consci-
ousness lie round the people crying
over him, he rebuke,( them sternly
for their folly, reminding them that
here ryas much gloater cause for
crying in a certain place they wot
of. Whet a fervent admirer and
rlevotod disciple Mr. Mill would

FOUR MURDERERS HANGED.
Friday of last week four wretched
victims paid the peualty of life for
life in New York.
The four bodies hung for half an
hour, and were then cut down and
planed in plain coffins,
HISTORY OF THE O1t111ES.
Charles Ferdinand Carotin is be-
lieved by many to have been of un-
sound mind. He murdered a wo-
man named Bridget Quinn iu a
small back room of a Stanton street
tenement, on the afternoon of Murch
16, 1888, butchering her with a
shingling hatchet. From the time
Carotin left hie home in Germany
until he met the woman he murder-
ed he lived the life of a rover. He
and his mistress lived very peace-
ably together until he lost his place
in the carpeuter shop where he had
been working. Their supply of
money ran out, and the pair begau
a aeries of quarrels, which has ended
fatally for them both.
Alice Jackson never had a chance
for her life after the negro, John
Lewis, alias "Black Jack," burst into
the kitchen at the house at No, 84
West Third street, where she was
at work on July 17, 1888. Alice
had lived with him, but after he
had made an attempt to kill her site
had fled t'rorn him. He was a hard
driuker, and of a. jealous and vio-
leup. nature. On the afternoon of
the murder Lewis went to the house
where Alice was .employed, and
forced his way into the ,kitchen.
The woivan ordered hint out, where-
upon he drew his revolver and shot
her twice, once in the left breast and
once in the abdomen. The mur-
derer was arrested before he had
walked half a block.
James Nolan's crime was the
murder of his mistress, Emma Bach,
wlio had left her husband to live
with him. Nolan was a hard drinker
and a loaferand treated her brutal-
ly. She allowed preference for
another man, and, on Nov. 20, 1888,
Nolan came home and found his
mistress in company with his rival.
Iie thereupon called her iuto the
(tall and shot her twice, the wounds
proving fatal. '
Yatrick Packenhant was the patri-
arc,h of the quartet of murderers.,
He was au ,intelligent man, whose
besetting sin1was drunkenness,:.. Ile
was. once a member of the New
Orleans police force. Ott March
13 he was drunk and quarrelsome,
fought with the neighbors, and cut
the lead of one man with a water:
pitcher. At night Packenham pee•
pared for bed. Suddenly. he drew
a razor and ran toward his wife,
catching her by the hair and pulling
her over backward. The son, Rob -
eft, mails an effort to save his
mother, but failed, Tho keen -edged
blade was with deadly effect,
severing the jugular vein. Packen-
haut was cleaning the razor and
washing the blood from himself
when the police arresteu hint.
WHAT BECOMES OF OLD
SHOES.
"Old clo" and 'old shoe" mer-
chants never pass an ash can without
inspecting for old shoes. If any is
found it soon findsa hiding place in
the capacious bag carried for the
purpose. , Each day's labor is taken
to the hoiue of the "old shoe man,"
where it is sorted over. Shoes that
ara not past a few days of useful-
ness go under the resuscitating care
of au Italian cobbler., He gives
the old shoe a new lease of' life by
endowing it with a new sole and
other repairs. These go to some
second hand shoe store, of which
shore are a goodly number iu this
city.
The shoes that aro past repair are
tauten to the old juuk dealers, who
iu turn sltip theta to the shoddy
factories. There they are pulled to
pieces in order to remove the steel
shank piece, if there be any, and
then ground to fine a dust. This
leather .dust is then *nixed with
about 40 per cent, of rubber, witiclt
has been gathered in the same way.
Tho mixture of rubber and leather
dust is spread in sheets about two
feet square, and subjected to n
pressure uf 6,000 to 10,000 pounds
per square foot. The substance is
titers colored, roil sold at lit lees sante
50 per cent, below that of leather.
This manufactured leather is used
by the maul factururs of cheap shoes,
mostly for inner soles. Ai' it •is
wholly wanting in fiber, it is mani-
festly a very poor substitute, Shuns
with these shoddy inner soles are
to be found in large quantities
strung on poles and hearing the
legend : "All leather, $l,"
The industry of making shoddy
shoes has greatly improved, At
first atraw• hoard was need for inner
solo counters, and sometimes for
out soles by pasting over with a
thin veneer of sole leather. Next
loather scraps and old shoes were
ground up and mixed with the
straw paper. This gave a little
better substance. Now shoddy con-
tains leather, drat and rubber.—
