King John and Gordon Pasha.

When Gordon Pasha was lately taken prisoner by the Abyssinians he completely checkmated King John. Tho King received his prisoner sitting on his throne, or what ever pioco of furniture did duty for that exalted seat, a chair being placed for the prisoner considerably lower than the seat on which the King sat. The first thing the Pasha did was to seine the chair, place it alongside that of his sable Majesty, mid sit down on it; tho next to inform him that ho met him as an equal and would treat him as guch This somewhat disconcerted his sable Majesty, but on recovering himself he said, " Do you know, Gordon Pasha, that I could kill you on tho spot if I liked ?" "I am perfectly well aware of it, ypur Majesty, said the Pasha. "Dolt at once if it is your royal pleasure. lam ready." This discon certed tho King still moro, and he ex claimed, "What! ready to bo killed? "Certainly," replied the Pasha; "I am always ready to die, and so far from fearing your putting me to death, you would confer a favour on mo by bo doin^, for you would be doing for mo that which I am precluded by my roligious scruples from doing myself —you would relieve mo from all the troubles and misfortunes which the future may havo in store for me." This completely staggered Kiug John, who gasped out in despair, "Thon my power haf, no terrors for you?" "None whatovor," was the Pasha's laconic reply. His Majesty, it is needless to add, instantly collapsed.—" The Story of Chinese Gordon," by A. E. Wake.
