4 Race OF piGmies Discovered.

New YORK, May 4-Bayard Tay-
lor, in a letter from Egypt, gives an
account Of the recent discovery of
race of pigmies in Central Africa.
of two in the care of the
khedive, he says: The little fellows
looked at me with bright, questioning,
steady eyes, while | examined and
measured them. Tubbell was forty
six inches in height, his legs being
twenty-five inches, which is some
What better proportioned than is usu
al in savage tribes. The head and
arms were quite symmetrical, but the
spine curved inward remarkably
from the shoulders to the hip joint,
throwing cut the abdomen, which
was already much distcEded, proba-
bly, from their diet of beans aud banan-
as. vet the head was erect, and the
shoulders on the line Of gravity, and
there was no stoop in the posture of
the body, as in South Africa. Tub
bell measured twcnty-six inches
around the breast, and twenty-eight
inches around the abdomen. His
hands and feet were coarsely formed
but not large, only the knee joints
being disproportionately thick and
clumsy. The facial angle was fully
up to the average. There was a
good development of the brain, fine
intelligent eyes, and nose so flatten-
ed, that in looking down the forehead
from above, one saw only the lips
projecting beyond it. The nostrils
were astonishingIy wide and square.
The complexion was that of dark
mulaito.

The judges refused to be arrested

Rock.
The Supreme Court was to have
convened at little Rock to-day.
Judge Stephenson, also of the Su-
prcme Court, was also on the train

SOUTHERN FL00Ds.

MEMPHIS, May IS. Johnson "A
planter from Chicot county, Arkan-
sas, who arrived here this morning
brings distressing accounts of the
suffering among laborers and their
families in that vicinity, many oi
whom he says have subsisted for
several days upon carcases OF cattle
that have died of starvation or been
drowned in the overflow. Citizens
complain of the action Of the New
Orleans Relief Committe in not send
ing supplies outside the State ol
Louisiana, bet this arises doubtless
from the scarcity of supplies, and the
great amount of destitution nearer
New Orleans. The Relief Commit
tee have actively engaged in collect
ing supplies to relieve the lmmcdI-
ate wants of these p>opie. Further
trouble is apprchended from n rise IN
st. Francis river.

crnor and Relief committee receive
letters daily from the overiiowed
parishes, giving details of the condi-
ton of the inhabitants. Recent let
ters from Catalonia, Caldwell, Con-
corcia Franklin, Ouachita. Rapides
and Tensas parishes show no improve
ment, but indicate additional aiiiic-
tion by sickness. From great mass
of correspondence the following is Sc
lected as showing substantially the
purport of the whole; Mr.. Redditt
writing from Cuba, Ouachita parish
says the country for miles around Is
submerged, and twelve farms are al
most entirely under water within
three miles of this place, with pop
ulation of 100 persons, by the break
ing of the levee. The levee broke
April 8, and the current of the water
was so strong that it washed away
everything on my lot except my
dwelling house and store house. My
corn houses and oxen are all gone
The water in my dwelling is four feet
deep, and runs through in such Il cur
rent as to make it tremble like leaf
But look not to me alone. There art
600 or 700 others similarly situated
within three miles. W. j. Ellis has
lost everything. The water on the
floor of his dwelling is five feet deep
and he has not one pound of provis
ions on hand for himself and fftecr
freedmen. and no chance of getting
any in the neighborhood. DR.. X. &
Burch. writing from BOscabcl planta
ton, Ouachita parish, says there are
3, 600 people within the limits of hi:
practice, many of whom are suffering
from sickness caused by exposure
on account Of the overflow. He i:

that medicine be provided, Offering
to distribute it TO the sick and suffer

GoVed 10 Deaf. by u Bail.

On Saturday afternoon about half
past o'clock, a shocking affair trans
pired in the yard attached to the
barn of the Lehigh County Poor
House. A young man named Lucas
Hoffman was engaged repairing the
fence surrounding the enclosure,
and was in the act of picking rail
from the ground, when bull, which
was at the time about twenty yards
from him, was observed to make
several bounds towards him, and
seizing him suddenly, threw him
twice in the air, he at each time fall
ling heavily to the ground. Young
Hoffman gained his feet rs quickly as
possible, and started on run toward
the barn-yard gate, but was immedi-
ately pursued ty the infuriated beast,
which caught him just about as he
was making his exit from the gate, and
again tossed him twice in the air.
The last time Hoffman struck the
ground, be lay apparently insensible,
and the bull walked slowly and un-
concernedly away.
In short time the PROSTATE young
man was surrounded by crowd of
persons. He was picked up and
quickly removed to the hospital
The services of DR.. Seiplc We're pro-
cured.
An examination of Hoffman's in-
jurics revealed the fact that they
would prove fatal. In tossing him,
the horns of the bull had caught a
large protuberance below the abdo-
men (Which had resulted from her.
nia,, and the rent produced almost
entirely disembowled him. The left
arm was also broken, and be had
also sustained severe internal injuries.
He fingered in great agony until 5
O'Clock yesterday morning, when
death put an end to his sufferings.

Cameron and Sumner

Grace Greenwood, in her letter to
the n. Y. Times of Saturday last, af-
ter referring to the debate on the cur
rency bill veto, about Charles Sum-
ner drought on by Senator Thurman's
ungraci0us and ill-timed remarks, },
thus compliments our Senatorial
townsman: and vet it was not all un-
fortunate, for it gave Mr.. Cameron
chance 10 defend himself against
the shameiully unjust charge of rob
bing Mr.. Sumner Of his place on the
Committee on Foreign Relations y
And he did defend himself manfully,
with convincing force and feeling. and
yet with admirable taste reirained
from the slightest reflection on the
dead Senator. His simple account
Of his last interview with Mr. Sum-
ncr was better than eulogv, more
touching and humanity tender. He
said: $50 far from feeling any un-
Kindness to me, he was the last person
| spoke to on the day before he died,
when / was going home 10 my sick
family. / went TO him and asked
him to pair with me, aud be said,
"Yes, Cameron, do it gladly" and
he shook hands He said to me,
Good bless you, and | said to him
God bless you"
He also stated that he had more
than once defended Mr. Sumner in
the Senate, and that one time when
be was assailed in executive scs-
sion, Mr.. Sumner defended him, and
added: IL hope that as long as |
live | shall do no wrong to any man
who ever defended me when | was
not present to defend myself"
These last words reveal the secret
of Mr.. Cameron's power, the tallis-
man of bis wonderful success in po-
litical lte--a memory s;nguIarly
tenacious ola good turn" like this
of any act Of good faith and good
fellowship, though emanating from a
rival or an opponent He never for
gets a kind word or deed, from the
highest to the humblest.

Terrible COllery Explosion

BUSH Run, o., May 6.-The coal
shaft at Bush Run, Jefferson County,
O.. eleven miles below Steubenville
owned by Peck & Ramsey, exploded
this morning about three O'Clock
The noise of the explosion was so
great that persons living two miles
from the scene heard it distinctly.
The shaft had met with slight dam
age few days before, and repairs
having been made, the furnace was
restarted. 1t is not known how the
gas became fired. The railroad track
was literally covered with the debris
of the adjoining buildings and sheds,

UNDER the heading Of Demented
Democrats" the New York Herald
comments on the extraordinary blight
which has fallen on all the men who
were prominent members of the old
Common Council, in the days when
Tweed's wold made and unmade
public officials, from State Senators
to Common Councilmen, both includ-
ed. This blight has not been partial.
1t has swept away nearly every man
who was identified with Tweed In
the old Board of Aldermen, and, with
one or two notable exceptions, in the
old Board of Supervisors, of infa-
nous memory. Tweed himself a
convict, serving out a long term in
the penitentiary; the erstwhile Presi-
dent of his Board of Aldermen is a
fugitive from justice, having failed to
put in an appearance when called for
trial, and forfeited his bail. Another
prominent member, Genet, is a fugi-
tive from justice, also. Sudden deaths
have been the end of more than one
member of the "Old Board" but
others a still more untimely fate await
ed, and five of the ex-Tammany AL
dermen are hopelessly insane, and in.
mates of lunatic asylums.

ROME CITY, IND, May. A fire
broke out in the large wooden factory
owned by j. C. Geisenday & Co. at
