Who is the White Pasha ? (James Nisbet and Co.)—Many

of our readers will remember the startling intelligence that appeared last June in the papers to the effect that a White Pasha, with an all-conquering army, was said to be advancing on Khartoum. The writer tries to show, by means of Scriptural prophecies and Gordon's own words, that the White Pasha was none other than the heroic Gordon himself. The writer declares that there are no proofs of Gordon's death, a somewhat dogmatic statement. We should like to point out to the writer that one of her own arguments as to the improbability of Stanley's expedition perishing without leaving a rumour, tells against the probability that Charles Gordon is still alive without a rumour reaching the coast.
