Ashantee.

Ashantee il the most notable of the
existing savage kingdoms on the west
ern coast OF Africa. Its boundaries
are not accurately defined apprOxi-
mately the kingdom may be consid-
cred the region fronting the Gold
Coast, between latitude 80 and 10o
north and longitude !" and So west.
Until the commencement Of the pres
ent century Ashantee was unheard of
BY Europeans, for the Fantees, a hos
tile tribe, occupied the coast. In 1907
Oss0i Tutu was King 0f Ashantee.
He appears to have subjugated many
Of the ueighboring tribes. Two Of his
tributary chiefs having fled to the
Fantee country. Osai demanded that
they should be given up to him. The
demand was refused. and the AshaDtee
messengers were put to death. 0sai
thereupon made an incursion into the
Fantee country, which he rayished
down to the coast. The British, who
had a fort at AnabOe on the coast, I'M
dertook to sIlel,er the flying Fantees.
The Ashantees invested the fort, and
compelled the British Governor to ask
for peace. This peace was Of fbfief du-
ration. 1917 the Ashantees again
invaded the Fantee country, and took
I possession Of 1t. their acquisition by
right Of conquest being recognized by
! British Governor Of the fort. In 1922
the Fantees, encouraged by't British,
rose against the Asfantees, oHgain
marched into their costntry. slSir
Charles Mccarthy, the British Cover
nor Of the Gold Coast, undertook to
chastjse the inYaders. IA sharp actioL
took place, JaHIary 81, 1874, 10 which
the British were defeated, the COM
piapder and nearly al hts officers were
killed, The victorious Ashantees
came near capturing The British strong
hold, Cape Coast Castle; b1t sickness
coming Oh, they were obliged to with
draw to their own lcountry. Since
that time the Ashahtees baye kept

farmers stomach, will remove the boards
from the fence, let cattle into his crop, kill
his fruit trees, mortgage his farm, ands
his fields with wild oats and thistles. 1t
will take the paint off his building, break
the glass out of the windows and fill them
with rags. 1t will take the gloss from
his clothes and the polish from his man.
ners, subdue his reason, arouse his pas
sions, bring sorrow and disgrace upon his
family, and topple him into a drunkard g
grave. 1t will do this to the artisan and
the capitalist, the matron and the maiden,
as well as to the farmer for, in it's deadly
enmity to the human race, alcohol is nc
respecter of persons.-Ihe Temperance

OLD MAIDs.''-A recent writer ex-
presses his opinion of old maids in the
following manner: Il am inclined to
think that many of the satirical aspersions
cast upon old maids tell more to their
credit than is generally imagined. Is a
young woman remarkably neat in her per-
son "she will certainly be an old maid. :"
Is she particularly reserved towards the
other sex she has all the squeamishness
of an old maid Is she frugal in her ex-
penses and exact in her domestic con-
Germs she is cut out for an old maid ,
And if she is kindly humane to the ami
mails about her, nothing can save her from
the appellation an old maid In short,
have always found that neatness, modesty,
economy and humanity are the never fail
ing characteristics of that terrible crea-
ture, an old maid.'"

Experiments made upon healthy SOL

however, indicated an advantage in it's use
if employed in rousing a. feeble appetite or
exciting feeble circulation of blood.

Square, New York city. After quietly
waiting for her grief to subside, the Presl
dent wrote and made a formal offer of mar
riage. She accepted. The engagement
was kept profound secret, nor was the
mission suspected when the President left
| Washington in June, ostensibly for Bos-
ton, but in reality for New York, where
he arrived in the morning, and proceeded
to call upon his fair ianeee. They had not
met since the dreadful accident.
~ istsi THE MARRIAGE.
The contemplated marriage was kept so
quiet that not above six persons were ac-
quainted with the event. The neighbors
were surprised to see carriages with we'd
ding fayors in front of Mrs. Gardeners
house. The bride, radiant in youth and
beauty, was watched as she emerged from
her home, and soon the rumor of a wedding
in the Church of the Ascension spread
through the neighborhood.. i s.il4
After the bridal party entered the church
quite anumber appeared, all eager to know
who were the contracting parties. Then
the very all seemed to watt the news to
every part of the city that John Tyler,
President of the United States, had we'd
ded Miss Julia Gardner. Flags were flung
to the breeze, cannon were fired, and the
vessels in port were soon rugged i'll holiday
attire, and their guns doomed forth the
joyful tidings. The bridal party started
Immediately for Washington, where they
held a grand reception. There were many
festivities, but they did not efface the re-
membrance of that sad and fatal day in
March. Mrs. Tyler only enjoyed the hon
ors Of the White House until the 4th of
the next March, when another President
took the oath of office and the Tyler fami-
ly repaired to Sherwood Forest on the
James river, where six sons and daughters
were born, and where Mr.. Tyler died in
the early years of the war.
PRESIDENT TYLER'S FAMILY.
His widow then went North to her
mother, who shortly after died, leaving a
large portion Of her estate to Mrs. Tyler.
There was a long and bitter lawsuit over
this will, but which was eventually deci-
ded in Mrs. Tyler's favor. Since the close
of the war the children of Mr.. Tyler's
first marriage have contended with the
widow for the old estate on James river
This last suit has ended in securing all that
Mrs. Tyler commended for, and now she is
out of the courts and can look after the
welfare of her children, to whom she is
very devoted. Her eldest daughter mar
ried and died in year, leaving an infant
daughter. Mrs. Tyler has charge of the
child, and is quite engrossed in her affec-
ton for the little granddaughter, who is
now four years old. There is still much of
life left in the handsome and sparkling
widow, whose cheeks glow and eyes bright
en- as she recalls the happy days of her girl
hood and the devotion of her husband
The one dark spot in her memory brings
shadow to her brow, which is soon dispell-
ed by the recollection Of other and fairer
memories.

HEAVEN.

I cannot believe in endless hell
And Heaven side by side. How could dwell
Among the Saved, forthinking OF the Lost?
With such q lot the Best would suffer most.
Sitting at feast all in Golden Home,
That lowered over dungeon gates of Doom,
My heart would ache for all the lost that go
To wall and weep in everlasting woe;
Through all the music must hear the moan
Too sharp for all the harps OF Heaven to drown.
X
I think Heaven will not shut foreyermore,
Without a Knocker left upon the door,
Lest some belated Wanderer should come,
Hearth broken, asking just to die at home,
So that the father will at last forgive,
And looking on His face that soul shall live.

NESTS FOR SETTING HENS We donot
often see nests for setting hens properly
made. Hay is most commonly used, but
it's seed attracts mice, and it is scratched
about by the hen in quest of the seed as
food. Besides it is too dry, and eggs must
be kept damp in some way, as they lose
water steadily by evaporation. We prefer
damp earth followed out and covered with
finely cut straw, which will not become en-
tangled i'll the feet of the hen. The curve
of the nest must be neither too great nor
so small as not to keep the eggs together.
In case trouble may be expected from rats
cover the nest, hen and all, every night
with box having wire cloth at the en- DIS
OF sides to let in air.

THE BODIES OF THE KILLED


had every bone broken, and were like jel-
ly. Mrs. Gilmer was standing not far from
her husband when the accident occurred
Her grief was Of that character that is
most frantic screams. Miss Gardner had
tainted and was borne to state-room in
the arms of the President. The greatest
haste was now made to reach the city.
What a contrast was that return to the
gay and happy party that had started out
in the morning. The tide being out, the
dead and the living had to be transferred
from the ship to the rowboats. A tarpau-
lin covered the six mangled forms, the
sight of which could not be concealed
from the distracted relatives Litters
were imprOviSed and the bodies were all
carried to the White House, and the sad
dened group went to their respective
homes. The President insisted upon the
Misses Gardner going to the executive
mansion, where private apartments We're
assigned them, and the most respectful at
! tention and sympathy shown to them by
the entire family. The six dead were laid
out in state in the east room, from whence
their funerals took place. Mrs. Gilmer
returned to her home in Charlottesville, a
broken hearted woman, and never emerged
again from it's retirement and now, after
thirty years of trial, sorrow, and at times
privation, she has gone to join the hus-
| band whose memory she ever held dear
and sacred.
PRESIDENT TYLER's ATTACHMENT.
MI. Tyler was we'll advanced in life when
he met Miss Julia Gardner upon his return
from an European tour. His romantic at
tachment to a girl young enough to be his
daughter probably saved him from the
dreadful fate of two of his cabinet minis
tiers. The young lady had not reciprocated
his attachment until her great affection
but at the time she lost her father, whom
she seems to have adored, she awakened to
a deeper sense Of the responsibilities OF
life, and her heart was touched by the
chiyalrous devotion Of her admirer. She
soon returned to her home, in Lafayette
