magazine in which had been stored number of
caees filled with gun cotton that mad only lately
arrived from Trieste. The Austrian manufa,
turers had warned the authorities here that this
cotton would have to be turned daily as 1t was liza
BILE to spontaneous igniton but this, In all ikeli-
hood, was soon forgotten. aud the result is the
misfortune have to write about. The maya
zine was situated in the quarter of the town
called Kom. el-Dyck Che Cocks Hid, a cIlca-
Teous rock, where stood in oden times thea
tire, and which until lately was covered with
Arab huts; but where Europeans and Syrians,
having discovered the salubrity of the spot.
had Guilt houses and villas with gardens. A
great number of these are now either DESTROYED
or more or less injured, as the huge stones
with which the magazine had been built had
been sent with lateral force against the houses,
and bombarded them, in some cases completely
destroying them, Ia other cases going through
several walls and doing little harm. The
house of Mr.. Wilson, an English resident,
was completely destroyed, yet though the rooms
were filled with stones he and his family were
not injured-a wonderful escape indeed. Be-
yond the destruction of the houses in the imme
property than the breaking of windows in nearly
all the houses situated within quarter of a
mile of the magazine, but the loss of life occa-
stoned by the accident, arising from careless
ness, is very great. 1t is true that the official
account gives the number as fifty, IL is true that
most of them were 'only Arabs" but then l be-
lieve the number is very far below the true one,
and also believe that the lives of these ''only
BraDs were valuable. But no one would De
likely to think so who saw the few soldiers at
work that were sent to dig for the buried bodies,
1t was a horrible sight. They take from the
side of heap some of the stones aud rubbish,
and put it on the top of the very same heap they
are working at, until they discover some part of
body. They then get hold of it as best they
can, and pull, shouting at the same time in their
horrible monotonous measure. Here they drag
forth the body of woman, which, having been
lying compressed by the stones, expands in
each part as it comes forth; then they expose
another body-is it q man or woman
Bystanders cannot tell for the
head is not there. The work went on dur
ing the forenoon. In the afternoon nothing
was done. Next morning expected to find, al
all events those places cleared where it was
likely that bodies were still lying but no, only
found about 600 soldiers employed in filling up
the gap made by the explosion where the maga-
zine stood, carrying the stones and raking the
earth down with their hands, while the Arabs,
who were still in search of relatives, were also
digging in the same manner, where yesterday
morning had stood their poor dwellings. The
excitement here is very great everybody blam-
ing the Government for storing such an eXplo-
sive ma '-rial in the midst of a thickly-popu-
lated quarter.

from tie auckland (Neto Zealand Herald, Oct 6.
We are sorry to have to report another
slaughter of natives.
1t will be remembered that in 1866 Calko-
bau conquered the districts of Vugalei aud
Viria, which had for some time been in rebel
lion against him. During the war Cakobau
requested the chief of Motailobau to secure
Muakalou, chief of Soloira, and bring him
prisoner to the Bau camp. This the chief
of Motailobau did, probably expecting that
Muakalou would be taken on to Bau, and
not allowed to return to the noun
tains. Such, however was not
Cakobau's intentions. After giving
Muakalou good talking to he ordered his
release, telling him to go back to his nome
among the mountains and live in peace
among his own people. No sooner had
Muakalou got to his own town, and among
his own people, than he expressed his deter
mination to be avenged on the Motailobau
chief by eating him. This determination he
has several times repeated, but he has not
till now openly declared war against the
Motailobau people. A short time ago a
Soloira woman fled to Motailobau town,
where she was sheltered, and this has been
made the pretext for a war III which the
tribes of Soloira and Motailobau are engaged
AS soon as war was declared Soloira
town called Nakorobalavu Joined the Motai-
iabou people, and this is the town in which
tne slaugnter we now report took place.
AT midday on Friday, the 10Th of August,
when the men were all in their gardens, a
large war party from Navosa and Dawarau
entered the town of Nakorobalavu by FIVE
different paths, took the people by SURPRISE
and killed, it is said, all in the town. The
men, who were on their planting ground,
hearing the firing, rushed to the rescue of
their wives and children, but, finding there
was no hope for them against such large
attacking party, they soon turned and fed,
hoping to reach somo friendly town; but in
this they were disappointed, as they were
met on the way by the people of Nacau, who
killed every one they found, whether man,
woman, or child.
1t is said that 2GO were slain, and, as at
present only ten of the Nakorobalavu people
are known to be alive, there is reason to
fear that if not 2GO, avery large number have
fallen.

MYSTERIOUS PEOPLE.

Every one mas now and then encountered
in society people who have no apparent pro-
perty, real or personal, yet who seem to have
all the comforts and luxuries which wealth
procures, %ithout making any of those exer-
tions which procure wealth. They are gen
orally very pleasant companionable people
who have been everywhere and seen every
thing. They know everybody, and everybody
knows them-up to a certain point. The
father drives q neat two-in-hand, the wife
and daughters dress elegantly, and the sons
pocket-money is the. allowance of
prince imperial. They have the best
rooms in the most fashionable hotel,
or, if they keep house, their naenage is unex-
ceptionable, They have the most premature
lamb and the earliestpeas, the handsomest Ian
dau and the choicest seats at the opera. In short
they feed ON the roses and lie in the lilies of
life But how do they manage to do it? The
Dores, you say, are charming people; the
ladies are well-bred and bright and Dore
senior is courtly, not to say distinguished; but
what is the trade, business, profession of Dore
senior? what does he do for living? He is
evidently immensely wealthy, but it is just as
evident that he is not worth cent. Nobody
can find out that he owns square inch of
real estate or q dollars worth of any kind of
stock-petroleGm or other. He is not
speculator, that is certain. Is he gambler !?
His habits and associates are beyond re-
proach. Is ne (and this should be put In
the smallest diamond type, like the whispers
in Charles Reades novels) a counterfeiter
The suspicion dies of its own folly. If he
were foreigner one might suppose him to
| be an eccentric nobleman examining the
social institutions of our country; but un-
! fortunately for so f1attering an hypothesis
| he is American born and bred There are
! Just two things known about him, the rest is
mystery. The two things are, first, That he
has no visible means OF support; and secondly,
| That he live like
"a regular, rich Don Rataplan
santa Claus de Ia MuscOvado
Senor Grandissimo Bastinado,"
or a Count Monte Cristo, at least. And how
does he manage to do it? BY what subtle
alchemy does he coin gold to meet his lavish
current expenses? What is his heavenly
receipt for living sumptuously on nothing a
year?
Most people who have not inherited money
or made it by a lucky stroke, have to work
very hard and be very economical, if they
have wife and children, in order to face their
butcher boldly and meet their tax collector
without blush. But here is our friend DorS
who tolls not, neither does he spin, and vel
Solomon in all his glory was never less affected
by the fluctuations OF the money market Oh
the prices of provisions. He is a social mys
terry. We look upon him with kind of awe
Enyeloped in that faultlessly cut coat, anC
buried under that snowy shirt-bosom, lies tn,
secret which half the world longs forth,
secret Of living on nothing, the art of econ
omy, for this We take to be economy elevated
to fine art.
We have all met in our larger cities witt
such people as the Dore family, and hav

incidents Of the CapituIation-Th Prince's In
terView with General ChanEarnier.
AGerman officer, writing from before Metz,
thus relates the opening Of the negotiations
for a surrender: the evening OF the gath
a'letter arrived at headquarters from Bazaine,
requesting an interview for General Changar-
aier on the morrow. Prince Frederick Charles
granted this, and arranged that the General
should be met by two orderlies,
near the outposts, at IL A, II.
They, however, did not find him. The
ground, 20O0 PAGES in breadth, between our
outposts and the enemy was thronged with
unarmed French people, who had come
within 100 steps of our lines in order to hunt
for potatoes, grapes, and forage; this went
on all the morning. The French took off
their hats to our outposts, pointed to their
stomachs, and made gestures indicative of
hunger. Our soldiers then winked, the
French began their tasks and turned back
when they had filed their sacks. The SOL
diers had, through this, become so audacious
that we,were yesterday (2jth) forced to drive
them with sticks out of village which they
had occupied and would not vacate. AS the
General did not come our orderlies took
flag of truce and went, surrounded by hun
dreds of unarmed enemies, up to the French
trenches, where the guard received them.
On their saying they expected the General,
an approaching carriage was pointed
out to them. Changarnier, a vene-
rable man of about eighty, but tolerably sc-
tive, begged that he might ride as far as pos
sible, as he could not walk far. Our officers
sent for the carriage, and it came so close up
that the General had only to climb over
small trench. Changarnier is a republican,
but offered his services to the Emperor after
the battle of Woerth and since the Sth of
August had been in Metz, where he was at
tached to Bazaine, without having any sepa-
rate command. He was blindfolded, and on
his arrival here was received by General
Stiehle and conducted to the Prince. The
interview lasted an hour and half, and he
was accompanied as far as the carriage. The
General was heart-broken, and his last
words were:-'We shall fall, but with

you nor any brave soldier may ever
experience this. Thereupon a food of tears
streamed from his eyes. He was led back
blindfolded past the outposts. There, the
handkerchief being removed, he observed the
potato-seekers, and delivered an eulogium on
our soldiers. He added that he hoped the
negotiations in the evening would lead tC
some result. The rendezvous arranged Will
the Prince was held at the Chateau Freseaty
