Ten days ago the reporter of the TRANSORIPT was informed of a startling rumor in relation to the reputed acts of one of the best known men in this city. No mention whatever has been made of the ugly rumors in these col-umns until now, forthe reason that we did not and could not believe they were true. Instead of the charges being secretly hinted at as before, they are now talked of openly. High Water. The water is very high at Mary aville. This afternoon it had reached the 15 foot mark, and still raining. ABSURD ou ty aki oe Although Entertained by Ignorant Pagans They Show Belief in Higher Power. et: When Sir Charles Napier had con, quered Mehemet Ali -he found it impossible to force or coax the wily Egyptian into signing the treaty which only would make his victory effective. He had 19 interviews, with Mehemet, in . which the Englishman by turns argued, flattered and threatened his antagonist, who listened day after day with the same immovable, smiling countenance. One day Sir Charles, in speaking of England, said, casually that it “was governed by a lucky woman.” A strange flash passed over the pasha’s countenance, but he madenoanswer. Assoon as Napier was gone Mehemet sent for the English consul, who was an Egyptian, and demanded: “You were in London when the English queen was crowned. Were the omens bad or good?” “All good.” “You think that good luck is written on her forehead?” “JT did not think upon the matter before, but now. that you ask me, I believe that it is. When she asked Allah to help her in her work her eyes ran over. Allah loves the innocent.” “No doubt of that,” said Mehemet, anxiously. “She must be lucky.” Early the next morning he sent for Sir Charles and signed the treaty. English:power and English cannon he could brave, but not “the luck” written upon the forehead of a good woman whom he had never seén. Gen. Gordon’s remarkable influence over the Chinese was in a large degree due, it is stated, to their belief in ‘this extraordinary luck. During the TaePing rebellion he was followed by an army who did not comprehend either his ability or his religious zeal, but who believed that he was protected by an imvisible Being who led him to victory. No sword could wound him nor bullet kill. A certain black ebony cane which he carried was supposed to be the magic talisman which brought him victory, and Gen. Gordon was shrewd enough althem into battle. These superstitions seem absurd to us, but they at least show that the ignorant men who hold them believe in an invisible Power who can give good or ill fortune at His will.

The new hoisting and pumping rig recently erectad by the Champion Company on the Merrifield shaft was started yesterday. It was furnished and was put up under the direction of W.8. May. Itis one of the ecompletest and most substantial plants in the county and stands on a concrete foundation for sinking 3000 feet. The work of re-opening the Merrifield will be crowded ahead with all possible speed. Since they purchased the property they have prospected it thoroughly and demonstrated that the ledge is one of the largest and richest in the district, and everything indicates that it will in time become one of the heaviest producing and most profitable of the Company’s possessions. The original Champion shaft is now down 2400 feet. It shows large and rich ore bodies in the lower depths. ee Looking Ahead, “And do you love me for what I am or for what I was?” cooingly asked the old: millionaire with one foot in the grave. “For what you will be, dearest!” ambiguously replied the poor young girl, with a living to make.—N.

He had 19 interviews, with Mehemet, in . which the Englishman by turns argued, flattered and threatened his antagonist, who listened day after day with the same immovable, smiling countenance. One day Sir Charles, in speaking of England, said, casually that it “was governed by a lucky woman.” A strange flash passed over the pasha’s countenance, but he madenoanswer. Assoon as Napier was gone Mehemet sent for the English consul, who was an Egyptian, and demanded: “You were in London when the English queen was crowned. Were the omens bad or good?” “All good.” “You think that good luck is written on her forehead?” “JT did not think upon the matter before, but now. that you ask me, I believe that it is.. When she asked Allah to help her in her work her eyes ran over.

Gordon’s remarkable influence over the Chinese was in a large degree due, it is stated, to their belief in ‘this extraordinary luck. During the TaePing rebellion he was followed by an army who did not comprehend either his ability or his religious zeal, but who believed that he was protected by an imvisible Being who led him to victory. No sword could wound him nor bullet kill. A certain black ebony cane which he carried was supposed to be the magic talisman which brought him victory, and Gen. Gordon was shrewd enough althem into battle.

The new hoisting and pumping rig recently erectad by the Champion Company on the Merrifield shaft was started yesterday. It was furnished and was put up under the direction of W.8. May. Itis one of the ecompletest and most substantial plants in the county and stands on a concrete foundation for sinking 3000 feet. The work of re-opening the Merrifield will be crowded ahead with all possible speed. Since they purchased the property they have prospected it thoroughly and demonstrated that the ledge is one of the largest and richest in the district, and everything indicates that it will in time become one of the heaviest producing and most profitable of the Company’s possessions. The original Champion shaft is now down 2400 feet. It shows large and rich ore bodies in the lower depths. ee Looking Ahead, “And do you love me for what I am or for what I was?” cooingly asked the old: millionaire with one foot in the grave. “For what you will be, dearest!” ambiguously replied the poor young girl, with a living to make.—N.
