resolution was adopted one day that
the Senate hold another session that
evening. When the hour of dinner

the Senate "adjourn."

that the Senate stood "adjourned un-

several Senators.
"Can't help it." replied Woodford.

by leading dignitaries, and at last the
Council unanimously voted to reject the
proposals of the Conference, amid shouts
of Death before dishonorp' Midhat
Pasha asked whether the Porte might en-
ter upon negotiations with the Powers re-
specting the rejected points. The Coun-
Gil said he could not, and declared that the
Turkish counter proposals were the only
subjects to be further considered.
A LANDSLIDE occurred on the 10Th near
Steinbruck, in Austria, on the Vienna &

The Inhabitants of New Britain
and New Ireland.

A WESLEYAN missionary, Rev.
George Brown, has returned in safety
from an explanation of twenty months
on the unknown coast of New Britain
and New Ireland. He crossed the lat
ter island. which he found we'll popu-
lated. "No white man was ever seen
inland before, but no opposition was
made to the explorers. A difficulty
was experienced in getting the natives
to go any distance from their villages,
as they are so often at war with one
another. Plenty of proofs of canni-
balism were found. One of the party,
on going into one house to light his
pipe, saw woman roasting the thigh
and leg of a man who was killed the
day before" The exploring party
were interested in the curious legend
of tie tribe of tailed men, which
is met with in many uncivilized coun-
tries, but they did not, unfortunately,
succeed in getting any further than
secondhand testimony. "The ma
tives," t is stated, "of Blanch Bay,
New Britain, affirm positively the ex-
istence of race of men with tails at
a place called Kali, and deny indig-
nantly that they are monkeys, asking
it monkeys could fight with spears,
plant yams. make houses, etc. But
it is significantly added that the in
teresting race dwell in the interior of
the country, "where no white person
has ever penetrated" Mr.. Cockerell,
a naturalist, who accompanied the ex-
pedition, had special opportunities tor
research. He was detained for some
time as hostage in New Britain, and
found the natives every friendly"
but he does not otherwise give them a
good character. "They are all dread
full cannibals, and there is strange
custom in New Ireland which requires
that chiefs daughter shall be kept
in cage within her fathers house
until she is of manageable age.
The cage scarcely gives her room to
move, and she cannot leave it during
any part of the day, though she is al
lowed to take a stroll with her near
relatives after nightfall. When
chief dies his body is wrapped up
and placed in tree, and the poor peo-
pie are put in canoes in the sea to
float away. The natives have large
plantations, and work about two days
in the week. They live chiefly on ba-
nanas, cocoanuts and pork. but they
also indulge in human flesh. .'-PGH

AND now comes another use for
petroleum. Consul Stevens, in his re-
port ON the trade of Nicolaieff during
the past year, states that that part of
South Russia continued free from
cattle plague. But his attention was
drawn in summer to the several cases
of sudden badness of oxen and cows,
and the loss of tails and names among
horses. He recollected that a former
servant of his, prematurely bald, had
got the habit, when trimming the
lamps, of wiping his petroleum-be-
smeared hands in the scanty locks
which remained to him, and the result
was a much finer head of black, glossy
hair than he ever had before. AT the
Consurs suggestion the owner of
several black cattle and horses affected
as above mentioned tiled the remedy,
and found that it effected quick and
radical cure. The Consul observes
that the petroleum should be of the
most refined American qualities, and
be rubbed in vigorously and quickly
with the palm of the hand at intervals
of three days, six or seven times in
all.
In Central America-in Colombia
in the tropical valleys of the Andes,
on the high table lands, al well as on
the low-lying shores of the Caribbean
Sea, there is loathsome disease called
elephantiasis; it is not confined to any
class of persons, although it is more
prevalent among the poor, and the
poor of the negroes. The malady is
not only fearful and loathsome to the
patient, it is hideous to behold. The
members of the body become swollen
with ulcers to a formidable size; the
hair drops off; SO do the nails; the
voice disappears, and sleeps murdered.
For this most awful of human ills a
cure has recently been discovered and
used with the happiest result. This
is nothing else than eating the flesh of |
the turkey buzzard, or gallinazo, bird |
so filthy in its habits that the meat it |
produces has been refused by Euro
peans who were dying of hunger.
Several of the party who accompanied
Lieut.. Strain in his perilous explora-
tions of the Isthmus of Darien lay
down to die, and died, because the
flesh of this bird was too revolving to
eat. Now the gallinazo abounds in
those parts, indeed is the only bird
that may be said to abound in the
populous regions; he is likewise the
only scavenger; now he will be ele-
waited to higher uses, and it is only fair
that gallinazos, as well as men, should
rise to higher things. News has
reached us from Panama and Cartha-
gena of several cures having been ef-
fected of this direful plague by the use
Of the flesh of carrion bird.

answer until the remaining members of the
Board should arrive in Washington. The

Contingent Fund Deficiency bill was agreed
to.
On the goth, in the Senate, the
message of the President in regard to the
occupation of Petersburg by the military on

ers and Morton, after which the bill reported

in Cleveland, Ohio, on the morning of the
Goth, with the appearance of having been
lifeless twenty four hours. One revolver
was held fast in his hand, while another
and razor lay near by him on the bed. A
telegram says it was an undoubted suicide

on account of the late accident at Ashta-
bula had made him deranged. His family
was absent at the time of the suicide.

On the 10th, Sheriff Handee refused
to recognize the writ of habeas corpus is
sued by Judge Shaw to bring before him
the Assistant Sergeants- alarms of the
Republican Senate, who were in the
Parish Prison. In the Democratic House,
joint resolution was unanimously
passed to the effect that the policy of fair
treatment toward the colored people of
the State, promised by Gov. Nichols, is
indorsed and will be strictly adhered to by
the Legislature. In the evening, the
SIX Assistant Sergeants- alarms of the
Senate were released on bail. Late at
night Gov. Packard sent communication
to Gen. Augur, pledging himself, on be-
half of the State Government represented
by him, to consent that matters should re-
main in their present condition until the
Congressional committees at present in
Louisiana return and submit their reports.
President Grant, on the 10Th, received tel
egrams from Gen. Augur. conveying in
formation that Gov. Packard had
applied TO him for assistance to
reinstate the Supreme Court in the
building of which they had been
dispossessed, and to Herewith enforce
Packard's proclamation, and that he had
informed Gov. Packard that he did not
understand his instructions as authorizing
the use of troops for any such purpose,
but he had referred the matter to the
President. The President replied to Gen.
Augur that his understanding of his in
structions was correct, and that the forces
under his command were not to be used
except to prevent breach of public peace
by either of the opposing political parties.
New Orleans dispatches of the 18th say
all danger of collision between the two
Governments was regarded as past for the
present Gen. Augur replied to Gov.
Packard's letter of the preceding day, and
gave his understanding of certain facts
alluded to by the Governor. In the Re-
publican House, Barrett and Kennedy,
who had gone over to the Democratic
House, were expelled. In the Democratic !
Senate, Mr.. Eustis introduced a resolu
tion setting forth that Zone Packard,
falsely assuming to be Governor, had,
by means of a scandalous and libel |
ous publication, purporting to be
q proclamation addressed to the General
and the lawful authorities,
sought to bring them into contempt, and
instructing the Committee on the Judi
ciary to inquire whether said Packard by
said scandalous and libelous
publication has not committed breach
Of the privileges of this body, and what
means, if any, should be taken to punish
said Packard for said contempt, and to
the dignity and authority of this
body" So ordered. The House bill in
reference to the protection of colored
people was passed unanimously.
In obedience to the orders of Gen. Au-
CUR, the State Librarian who was deposed
by the Nichols Government on the pre-
,eding day was, on the Goth, reinstated by
he Nichols authorities. L. j. Barron,
of Nachitoches Parish, left the Republi-

MISSISSIPPI.

Representative Lynch testified on
the 18th that he was at Kingston Precinct,
In Adams County, from the opening of the
polls till two D. M; at two o'clock over 800
votes (Republican) had been polled; is sure
there were at least 800 Republican ballots
cast before two O'Clock p. M, and about
eighty-fve after that hour, but, when the
votes Of Kingston Precinct were count
ed, there were only eighty-fve Re-
publican votes among them; witness
was sure that the 800 Republican
ballots which we're polled previous to two
O'Clock were removed from the ballot-box
and replaced by Democratic ballots, and that
this was done during the recess which the
inspectors took for the purpose Of eating
their dinners. A. M. Hardy, editor Of
the .Natchez, Miss, New South, testi-
fed that he had heard Democrats threaten,
previous to the last election, that in
case there should be any disturbance at po-
litical meetings the leaders of the Republi-
can party, and not their ignorant followers,
would be shot; witness charged the Demo-
Gratis with ballot-box stuffing at the last elec-
tion,, and said he was in such danger of be-
ing mobbed that he had to leave Natchez for
few days; he believed Mississippi would
have given Republican majority at the late
election had there been no fraud and intimi-
dation. - 4.
Merryman L. Howard (colored), of
Jefferson County, and Mr.. Richards (colored
lawyer, of Claiborne County, testified to in
timidation to prevent colored Republicans
from holding political meetings. The for
mer said he left the State four days before
the last election, as he considered his life in
danger; was still afraid he would be killed
should he return to his home at Faye,te.
The latter stated that fully one-third of the
voters in Claiborne County were denied
registration by fraudulent means, the
of that county being
thoroughly intimidated; election day
passed quietly il the county. W.. D.
Gibbs, lawyer from Yazoo County, tes-
tilted he was candidate for Presidential
Elector at the late election in Mississippi
on the Democratic ticket; canvassed ten
making political speeches in them
all, and claimed that the great change in the
vote of Mississippi since 1872 was caused by
a change Of political sentiment among the
colored voters; had heard that intimidation
had been resorted to in the State to influence
voters, but he never saw anything of the
kind himself. u

that litigation would arise from the ineligi-
