A Horrible Scene.

The Journal de PGTis contains 8 let ter from an eyewitness, giving the fol lowing particulars of the atrocities com mitted on the occasion of the funeral of Kamrasi, king of Ounyoro, in Central Africa. An immense grave or pit, capa- ble of holding several hundred people, had been dug, at the bottom of which the wives of the defunct king had been placed in the form of ring, to be in readiness to receive upon their knees the corpse of their late tyrannical and barbarous master. Several regiments of the Royal guard had been sent on the preceding night to silently surround some of the neighboring villages. The first human being, be it man, woman or child, that made it's exit from the sur rounded huts was forcibly seized and carried off, and the captives entrapped in this manner conducted toward the pit began the most horrible scene. The limbs of these poor creatures, arms and legs, were broken by the soldiers. The lamentations and cries of the victims in- termingled with the shouting of the fanatical crowd, and one by one they were thrown into the gaping gulf below. 4u0u OcSdJ1 Iuo OcabADS O1 uTuuuS9 Gue flourish of trumpets, the piercing sound of the whistle and pipe, which, together with the violent vociferations of the crowd, drowned the cries of the victims. The soil dug out of the pit the previous day was then thrown back into the monster grave. The fanatical spectators of the dismal drama, as soon as it was | filled up, commenced to dance on the summit of the grave, stamping the soil down with all their might, so as to form hard, compact layer above those buried alive. All the lamentations having ceased, nothing was left to indicate the ceremony of the abominable sepulcher. The noise of the instruments had ceased also, and the assembled crowd retired satisfied with themselves and admirine the greatness of the king whose names | demanded such sacrifices.

The Suicide of Abdul Aziz.

The Turkish minister of foreign af- fairs has addressed the following tele- gram to the Turkish minister at Wash ington: A sad event has just painfully affected our august sovereign and his government. Abdul Aziz Khan, the late sultan, who for some time past un- fortunately gave evident signs of mental Arrangement, having locked himself up in his apartment of the palace of Tcheragan, committed suicide by opening the veins of his arms with scissors which he had concealed on his person. The imperial government has, tened to cause all the legal inquests (constation) to be made, also detailed medical report, which will be forwarded.
 The physicians of the British and other embassies in Constantinople testi- fy that the late sultan committed suicide by cutting the arteries of both arms with pair of scissors. He died in the Tcheragan palace, and was buried in the tomb of Mahomond II. One telegram ayers that the ex-sultan stabbed himself with dagger in the region of the heart.

How Sailors are Treated.

A correspondentw writes to the London Ihnes that shipowners are responsible for the fearful outrages on the high sea, because they employ utterly unknown foreigners at lower wages than an Eng fish sailor would accept: On the other hand, the writer, who is an officer in the royal navy, testifies to the brutal treat ment of merchant seamen. On one oc- casion he saw small young fellow scolded by the mate, lad of twenty three, because he was too slow in rolling up sail which had just been shifted. The sailor answered the mate, who at once struck him across the mouth with an iron belaying pin, knocking out two of his teeth. There was short scufle, and in a few moments the man was triced up, his feet on spare spar, his thumbs lashed to the main shrouds, and he was logged with the end of topsail brace. The captain of the ship released the prisoner on the officers remon- strance.

America's Resources.

One of the most generally visited buildings on the Centennial Exhibition grounds is that in which the United States displays the workings of the gov ernmental departments and the resources of the country under their direct con- trol. A year ago Prof. Blake, commis- sioner from Connecticut, was put in charge of the mineral department of the national museum from the Smithsonian Institution in this building, and he has finally completed his arrangements for the grand central piece or " trophy" which is to Ee the most striking feature of the United States display. The ex- ecutive departments of the government were in doubt as to the character of the trophy they should build under the cen tral transept of the building-whether it consist of munitions of war or models of American inventions. Both these suggestions were, however, dropped and Prof. Blake's idea adopted, which was that the proposed monument should be composed exclusively of products of the mine and soil, thus following the orig inal words in the act of Congress creat- ing the Centennial commission, to "pro- vide for an international exhibition of the arts, manufactures and products of the soil and mine." The idea was that it would be more fitting to represent the basis of national prosperity than attempt to group the results of the handiwork of man in the century.
 The construction of this trophy has just been begun under the central tran sept, and will consist of broad plat form covered with massive blocks of American ores-the iron ores of Mis- souri, Michigan, New York, Pennsyl- vania, and New Jersey, the zinc ores from New Jersey, copper ores from Lake Superior, and gold and silver ores from Nevada and California together with blocks of marble from Vermont anI Tennessee. Above these will be grouped some of the more prominent agricultural products, such as cotton, tobacco, hemp, corn, wheat and timber. In the midst of this artistic grouping 8 massive iron framework is erected to 8 height of fifty feet, for the support o1 an enormous column of anthracite coal, being section of the mammoth vein al Indian Ridge colliery, near Pottsville, Pa. This section was cut and con. tributed to the collection by President Gowen, of the Reading railroad com pany, the cutting costing about $1, ,OOO This column of coal is about four feel square, and makes mass over forty feel high. The iron nfrom which the suppor is made is itself an object of interest being specimen of the tubular column work of the Phenixville iron works O. Pennsylvania.

The King of Hanover,

The quiet, amiable and blind gentle man who is stopping at Claridge's Hotel, London, who would have been king of England had not his cousin Victoria been born, has certainly had his mis- fortunes in life but.his lot is not a very unhappy one. He has lost his sight and his kingdom but he has saved his personal property, and he has been blessed with large and affection ate family of children. The king of Hanover is just as old as his cousin Queen Victoria; and although he is not So rich he is rich enough. To say noth- ing of other resources, he has twelve and half tons of silver and gold plate stored away in Coutts' bank. He is, moreover, an English prince, and he is Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale, Earl of Armagh, and Knight of the Garter. He and his family have arrived in England, apparently with the inten- tion of making it their permanent home. They probably have given up all hope of ever repossessing Hanover.

From the Toledo Blade Speciality in Medicine.

We publish on our eighth page lengthy article describing the system of the noted specialist Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.,
 in which he sets forth with considerable force and clearness his reasons for devoting his whole time and attention to single depart ment of medicine-the treatment of lingering chronic diseases. The same article also takes up the subjects of diagnosis, methods of con- sultation and treatment, etc, and will be found to contain many valuable hints to the invalid. Dr. Pierce is the author of & work which has already attained large circulation-"Th Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser "- containing some nine hundred numerously- illustrated pages, and devoted to medicine in all it's branches work well calculated for the guidance and instruction of the people at large, and which may be had for $1.50 (post- paid) by addressing the author Dr. Pierce has now been before the general public long enough to enable the formation of 8 careful estimate of the efficiency of his treatment and his medicines, and the verdict, we are glad to know, has been universally favorable to both.

A Verdict in Advance.

One of the jurors summoned in the Monroe case in the criminal court in San Francisco was Robert Cohen, a bluff Englishman. He was asked if he had any opinion about the case, and he replit d that he was "down on man who would beat woman, anyhow, and that he would leave the house afore he would do it" Upon it being explained to him that it was only intended to as- certain whether he could give the de- fendant fair trial, he blurted out "Well, I believe him guilty, anyhow any man who would beat "- You are excused" said the judge.

Hardening the Infants.

In Egypt, a correspondent writes, among the peasants, premature old age comes on at forty, and the population is kept down by terrible infant mortality. Out of the 40, 900 annual deaths, 80, 900 were of infant children. It has been calculated that three out of every five that are born die before the age of two. For those that survive an old Egyptian custom that is still practiced is most symbolical of their future. The child is put into sieve and rolled about to the beating of drums. ss It is in order to harden him." say the people.
