HORRIBLE CASE OF STARVA
TI0N. .

Boy Chained In n Carrot by HI.
Parents-He is Reduced 60 a Living
Skeleton.
Correspondence of the Dubuque Times.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. 28.-
We CHANGED to come in possession
of the facts of a most terrible and
unprecedented case Of starving a
human being alive. The victim OF
this inhuman cruelty is a lad of
about seven or eight years of age,
and lives with his parents, in the
suburbs OF the ordinarily quiet and
orderly town of Marion. 1t is ass
serted by a number of the noigh-
bors that they have at different
times, within the last few weeks,
visited the house Of the boy for the
purpose of ascertaining whether the
reports which their children were
continually giving them were true
or not. AS pretext for these
visits, they would take with them
some little delicacy for the afflicA
ted boy, as a means of ascertaining
whether the reports which their
children were continually urging
upon them were correct. But
these attempts to get a sight of the
poor child were mostly in vain, as
he was kept in an old garnet and
secured with a chain around his
neck. Imagine what his suferings
must have been in this condition
during the recent hot weather.
Sufficient evidence, however, was
gained in this way to warrant an
examination into the matter by the
officers of the law; and accordingly
Sheriff Hayzlette, with a number of
citizens, proceeded to the house to
make Investigations, and to see
that the parents were properly pun
lshed unless they would guarantee
a more humane course of treatment
to their boy in future.
This visltwas made on last Thurs
day, and, although the chain had
been removed, the boy was found to
be nothing but skin and bones.
He confessed-as had been stated
by the neighboring children-that !
he had been starved until he was
obliged to eat flies. He was also
seen to pick the rags from off his |
scanty garments and eat them.
He had been kept in this way se-
creted, and, until recently, un-
known to even his nearest neigh
bors. For over six months they
nave kept him in this condition,
and allege, as an excuse for their
brutal treatment, that he was
subject 20 fits, and that they were
afraid he would get away and annoy
his neighbors. But those who saw
and talked with him were convinced
that the cause of the fits (if the
parents story is correct) is the con-
sequence of the treatment he re-
ceives at their hands. His entire
person showed Unmistakable evil
dences of cruel beating, as well as
starvation, until life was almost
gone.
A few days or weeks of similar
treatment would have put an end to
his existence, and the aim of the
parents would doubtless have been
accomplished. The sheriff ordered
that the boy was 10 be well provided
for and was to go unclaimed in the
future.
For obvious reasons We suppress
the names of the parents in this
article.

A DEAD NATION,
Relics Of Ancient Civilization in the
Heart Of Africa

heart OIL africa.
A writer in the Natal Mercury,
under the date of February 2, 1869,
says, when treating of the ruins of
Simbaoe:
A days march from Andowa, be-
tween two hills, at the end of a
vast and fertile valley, are the ruins
of Axum To this, incredible
flights Of stone steps conduct the
traveller up TO the SUBMITS of the
hills, in one of which are found
deep grottoes and vast halls, cut
out of the rock and ornamented
with columns. There, according to
the traditions Of the country, is the
tomb of the Queen of Saba. The
adjoining valley, shaded by majess
tic trees, is filled by the remains of
the city, consisting Of huge blocks
of stone. Very little of the debris
reveal their former purpose. There
may, however, be distinguished two
groups of fourteen or fifteen obeN
hsks, thrown down. Seven of them
are covered with ornaments, and
are not less than thirty-six feet in
length. These masterpieces of an
Gent architecture reveal to US
the fact of an ancient
civilization in the heat
of Africa which has disappeared
many thousands Of years since.
Neibubr tells us of a mighty Ably
sinian empire existing here, men
tioning in particular Saba, and says
it was so powerful that even the
Roman and Parthian strength
could not prevail against it. This
last statement was taken from a
Greek inscription found among the
ruins, engraved in stone. On the
reverse side is another engraving,
in some ancient language, which
has not yet been deciphered. The
savage tribes guard these ruins
with Jealous care. No living ami
nal is allowed TO be killed in them,
no tree permitted to be destroyed
everything connected with thom
being held sacred, as belonging
either TO a good or evil power. A
missionary, who penetrated within
short distance OF the ruins, writes
