The New York American answers the question
Of the Enquirer, by "whut right we charge Mr. Ste
yensOn with Difference more than gas becoming, 10
the rich and nobo ol EngIsndi" BY tho right Of an
American, who values his own birlhrght too much
not 10 feel shame and scorn when the representative
ol his country NJ foreign court plays the fantastic
tricks of n courtor, and waiter upon great mems
smiles and f1voB. That such has been the course
NJ Mr. Stevenson in London, we have from the au.
lhDrty Of numerous Americans, VITO have wi ness
ed hat they relate, and who have felt themselves
inundated 10y tho soIt humiliation Of their minister.
Nor is Mr. Stevenson alone IN this great offence
against the simple dignity Of a republic. MIR Cas-,
IN PARIS, s represented 10 us rs the most unwearicd
courier OF the King-of which, indeed his rarru-
lous publication about France and is Court affords
no little evidence. We look upon any such conduct
az a national misrepresentation, besides being pua
biy ridiculous. Republican America has and
makes no pretension TO those conventional top
pings OF Roya and Aristocratc society, which seem
TO excite tie admiration OF too many OF our diploma

MARTYRDOM OF NINE CHRISTIANS.
We have in former number, mentioned
the fact that several christians had recent
" suffered martyrdom at Madagascar, but
the details of that event will be read with
painful interest.
Extracts Of letter from, Rev. d. Jones,
Tunanarino, July 20. 1910.
After my arrival at the capital, on the
3D. Of July. | was told that they were on
the eastern side Of the town, near Ilaliari
20, sixteen Of the native Christians IN
bonds, waiting their trial. Having sue
ceeded in hiding themselves from their
prosecutors for nearly two years, they
made up their minds some months ago TO
escape from the island, if possible and
take refuge in Mauritus, but alasl after
they had proceeded safely within three or
four days Journey of Tamaave, they were
caught, bound aud carried back to the ca
pital. II is said tha; two Of them a man
and woman, made their escape in the night
while the guards were asleep, and have
not vet been re-iaken. The others were
brought to trial and separately examined,
each apart from the rest, but all stood firm
as arock. OF the fourteen, nine cere con-
denlned 10 death, and the 9th OF July was
fixed as the day for their execution.
On the morning of that day, the prepa-
rations for the dreadful scene were CON-
menced by tremendous roar of cannon,
and thousands of soldiers appeared, march
ing towards the parade ground. About
noon, the first officers went for.h to deliv-
err the kabary respecting the sixteen chris
,ians who had been taken in attempting TO
fee to the Mauruitus, and to make procla-
nation that the Queen had ordered nine Of
them TO be put TO death in the afternoon.

We find the following in the remarks OF
DR.. Owen on the mineral resources of the
country.
Zinc.-Ths ore is found both in Iowa
and Wisconsin, notwithstanding its intrin-
sic value which will before very long be
duly appreciated, it is at present an object
of especial aversion TO the miner.
1t is famiIiarly known among the miners
by the name Of dry bone" 1t often hap
pens in both territories that the lead ore in
fissu!e gradually dimnishes, land eventu-
ally replaced bp the link ore, or as the
disappointed workmen. sometimes with q
hearty curse, not very scientifically eA-
presses it, "the dry bone eats out the mi
neral" At some CT the diggings, large
quantities Of this zinc ore may be procured,
thousands Of tons are now lying in various
locations on the surface, rejected as a
worthless drug, indeed as a nuisance. 1t
is known but to few of the millions as q
xinc ore at all, from analysis of this ore,
it proves to be true carbonate OF sink con-
tanning 45 per cent of pure metal.
Zinc is becoming an article of eonsidc-
rable demand in the markets for culinary
purposes, and as a covering far buildings
is very useful. But the chief consumption
Of this article is in making brass-welI
known to DO compound of zinc and cop
per.
The common brass imported from Eng
land contains upwards of - per CT of zinc,
that Of Paris q little less, and the fine brass
Of Geneva used in finer parts of watch ma
king, contains as much as 20 per cent of
zinc.
Large quantities Of both copper and zinc
are now imported from Europe into the u.
States to supply the continually increasing
demand.
1t is not improbable that the district now
under consideration might furnish of both
materials sufficient amount, at least for
many years to come, TO supply the entire
United States with brass of home produce
|. and manufacture. OF zinc at least is assur-
eddy sufficient supply not only for that
purpose, but also for expectation. All the
zinc now produced in Great Britain is tri-
fling in quantity and quite sufficient for the
demand, SO that large quantity is import
ed annually into that Island, chiefly from
Germany and Belgium, the importation OF
zinc into England in the year 1888 ex-
ceeding six millions and half pounds, q
fact which may give us an idea of the inn
portance Of this metal as an article of COM
merce, among the productive mineral re-
sources Of Iowa and Wisconsin, at the pre-
sent zinc ore may claim no contemplate
rank.

The firing Of cannon was kept up at inter
walls all day, but the meaning of this cere-
mony was not generally understood Be-
tween three and four o'clock, the Chris
tians-each tied 10 pole and quite naked
were borne by men along the western
side OF the town to Ambohrpotsy, the place
OF execution. After a short interval a
cannon was fred as signal-the execu-
toners pproached-the nine were Instant
ly speared TO death--and their spirits fed
to eternal glory.
Paul and his wife, Joshua and his wife.
and Flora or Raminaby, (wife of David
now in England were of the number OF
these martyrs. The names of the others
have not yet been able 10 ascertain. -
The head OF Paul and that Of another man
were cut off and fixed on poles It's wor-
thy Of remark. that the cannon which was
fired as signal TO the executoners, burst
INTO pieces at the moment, and the gunner
was seriously burnt by the explosion.--
This circumstance was considered by ma
ny as bad omen. do dot yet know cor
rectly how the other five have been dis
posed OF; some say they are IN slavery,
but this is not certain.
Thus it is seen that the spirit Of perse-
cuton against the Christians continues to
rage with undated rancor and malignity,
and that the hostility manifested by the
Queen aud her counselors to the gospel
and the work of missions, is such as pre-
clude the least hope of the door being
opened for US 10 resume our labors in this
country, until some change takes place in
the present system.
When leaving Mauritiu., | little thought
such a number Of eminent Christians would
suffer martyrdom during my stay at the
capital. The event has made deep i'm
preston on my mind, but my feelings can
be much more easily conceived than des-
cribed. o that God would arise and plead
his own cause, and deliver his people from
the hands Of the oppressor!"
