DEHLSCHLAEGER & WALKER DRUGGISTS OVERTHROW OF domes and minarets gleaming through green palm groves. But the Khalifa’s wild followers have probably made the city desolate, The city has had an eventful _his- tory since 1882. Raouf Pacha was governing the Isle of Meroe for the Khedive in that year, News was be- givning to arrive of a certaia Dervish wandering in the Soudan, who was drawing all the natives to bim, and especially those Arabs who lived by the slave trade, which Gessi Pacha had been extirpating. This Dervish, Mobammed Ahmad by name, could turn, it is said, all Government bullets into water, and aad, in truth, once and again defeat ed Egyptian troops sent to arrest him. Thed, becoming bolder, the pretender of ® sudden openly called himself the Mahdi, a name derived from a word in the opening chapter of the Koran. He shortly afterward started to lay siege to El Obeid. A Kordofan Atab of the desert type, his outward appearance, we are told, was strangely fascinating, He was a man of strong constitution, very dark complexion, and his face always wore & pleasant smile, to which he had by long practice accus- tomed himself. Under this gleamed a set of singularly white teeth, and between the two upper middle ones was a V-shaped space, which in the Soudan considererd a sign that the owner will be lucky. His mode of conversation also had by training exceptionally pleasant and is become sweet. As a messenger of God, he pre- tended to be in direct communication with the Deity. All orders which he gave were supposed to have come to him by inspiration, and it became, therefore, a sin to refuse to obey them, Disobedience to the Mahdi's orders was tantamount to resistance to the of God, and was therefore punishable by death. He called himself Mabdi Kbalitat er Rasul (‘the successor to the Prophet’), while his adherents called him Sayid (**The Master’) ;Sayid na el Mahdi (‘Our Master, the Leader’).

At the beginning of 1884 Gordon arrived at Khartoum, a solitary and helpless man, sent out to perform an impossibility. From his palace in the city the lonely dreamer offered the Mabdi all the Western Soudan as his own territory, with the recognized rank of sultan, In bitter reply the Mahdi sent him back a complete set of Dervish garments. Then the victorious fanatic and pious slave dealer set out for Khar toum, where the hapless people re- ceived by the hope of English help, had lingered to welcome Gordon. No notice was taken of that hero's procla- mation to the Soudanese. His com munications were cut with the north, and very seon a horde numbering 200,000 swarmed at the heels of the Mahdi into Omdurman and the out- skirts of Kbartoum. This was in October, 1884. ‘The low Nile left # part of the ram- parts broken and indefensible. The vast mass of assailiog Dervishes made thereby their rush, in two bands, just before the British relieving force came in sight of the white walls and green palm groves of the city. This undoubted triumph intoxi- ated his followers with faith, but demoralized the Mah He took to unbridled luxury and died of its con- sequences on Juve 22, 1885, The desert ascetic, whose bed had been a mat of straw, expired upon Persian carpets in all the splendor and state of @ greut eastern prince, having founded in his brief career an empire built. on the basis of slavery and reckless bloodshed. Before death he had bimself nominated Abdullah as his successor, who thus inherited s dominion stretcbing from the Bahr- el-Ghazal to Egypt aad from Darfur to the Red sea. The new tyrant began with very great ideas. He proclaimed that he would conquer all Egypt, as well as Abyssinia, Putting all laws on one side, he made himself absolute master over life and death in the Soudan and even the valor of King Jobn and bis Abyssinians could not stand against the ardor of the Dervishes. With the death of the original mahdi there befel a split in their ranks, but they were united enough, nevertheless, to go down the Nile as far as Korosko and to send insulting letter to Queen Victoria, to the Sul- tan of Turkey and to the Khedive, At this time it was Gen, Grenfell who, in the cause of Egypt, stopped the invasion of that country. The battle of Toski, on August 3, 1889, avenged the cruel fate of Hicks Pas! but we bad lost our best chances and for several years Osman Digna harassed and beseiged Suakin, while El Teb and Tamai were fought in vain, and all that fair and fertile region south of Berber was abandon- ed to the tyranny of the Baggaras, under the second Mabdi.
