HOW THEY BURY KINGS IN CENTRAL
AFRICA.

The Jomnal.de Paris contains letter
from an eye witness, giving the following
particulars of the atrocities committed at
the funeral of Kamrasi, king of Ounyo-
70, in Central Africa. An immense
grave or pit, capable of holaing 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 Bonded knees, tie 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 its exit
from each one of the surrounded huts
was siezed and carried off The captives
entrapped in this manner is condu, t d
toward the pit prepared for The funeral.
Here there began the most horrible scene
The limbs of these poor creatures, arms
and legs were broken by the soldiers.
The lamentations and cries of despair of
the victims intermingled with the shout
ing of the fanatical crowd as one by one
they were thrown into the gap below.
Then began the beating of drums, the
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 mon
strous grave. The fanatical spectators
of the dismal drama, as soon as it was
filled up, commenced to dance upon the
summit of the grave, stamping the soil
down with all their might, 50 as to form a
hard, compact layer above those buried
alive. All the lamentations having ceas-
ed, nothing was left to indicate the cere-
mony of the abominable sepulcher. The
no sc of the instruments had ceased also,
and the assembled crowd retired, satisfied
with themselves and admiring the great
ness of the King whose names demanded
such sacrifices.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER Is, 1876.
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

In compliance with the custom estab-
lished by our Fathers and SO often re-
peated by their grateful childred, Irequest
the people of this State to observe
THURSDAY, THE THIRTIETH DAY OF
NOVEMBER,
as day of thanksgiving and praise.
And | do earnestly recommend that we,
as a people, cease from our accustomed
pursuits and rest from the turmoil of our
daily lives in reverential acknowledgment
of our dependence upon the mercy and
goodness of Divine Providence.
1t is BETTING that in this particular
year we should renew our covenant with
Almighty God and render all praise for
the blessings of free government for
the continued prosperity OF our State and
Nation; for the blessings of peace and
our exemption from pestilence, famine,
or other national calamity, for our pro
gress in knowledge and liberal Christian
sentiments; for the generous manner in
which the earth has responded to the
labor Of the husbandman; for the sub
stantial increase of industrial enterprises !;
and for the increasing evidence of our ad
vancement in all that pertains to State
aud National greatness.
Let us, therefore, on that day assemble
at our customary places of public wor-
ship, or gather around the family circle
and Danish from our hearts I'll malice
and uncharitableness, dedicate ourselves
anew to charity and good works; that we
may through the influence of such senti-
ments be better prepared to perform
every duty to God and our fellow-men
resist all evil, overcome all temptations
and become more devoted to every chris
tan and patriotic duty
In testimony Whereof, l hereuntc
set my hand and caused to be affixed the
great seal of the State of Iowa.
Done at the city of Des
Moines this third day OF
November, in the year of
our Lord, one thousand eight

STRONG DRINK.

BY T. Il. THOMPSON.
1t was strong drink
Which broke the p aceful, happy spell,
And turned into an earthly hell
The home where comfort once did dwell,
With happiness secure.
It was strong drink
Which cause that burdened heart 10 throl
And burst IN an unhrokcn sob
u fore the cruel heartless mob
1t could not well endure.
II was strong drink
Which zoos thu little chlliren's bread,
Aud nlled their minds ith lear and dread;
Whene'er they heard their fathers tread
hiding place was scught.
1t was strong drink
That drove The horrd, blood stained knife
lnto the bosom OF wife,
Ann took away her wretchod life
Without a moments thought.
Deep do An into mothcis near.
And thus performed It's deadly Iart,
Ana pierced II 10 the core.
1t was strong drink.
Once more it> phastly work IA done;
Fond parents mourn an only son,
The wel-beloye but errlng one
They Cannot row restore.
It Is strong drink!
Each day tits bursting out anew
with horrors fresh b. fore cur view,
Whne all around we see 1t strew
It's evils on cur shore,
1t is strong drink!
We see It's dark and deadly stain
on ruined body, mlnd, and BRAIN;
Which plainly says to ali, dbstdin-
And never USE II more.

why United States troops were stationed
