last some teamsters from the Orinoco,
who had arrived too late to find shelter,
camped in corral behind Sellers house.
The night was dark and rainy one. For
a wonder Munger was making no noise.
toward midnight a commotion in the
house attracted the notice of one Of the
wagoners, but as it soon subsidized, he
paid no particular attention to it. With
daylight, however, he discovered that
Mungo's chain was broken, and that the
monkey was missing, and knocked at
the house door. intending to inform Sell
er of it.
Receiving no answer to his repeated
summons the man became alarmed and
forced tine door.
AS he pushed it open startling and
unearthly howl greeted his ears. In the
middle of the room, surrounded by the
wreck of what little furniture the place
had contained, was the corpse of Seller.
Squatting on the breast of the body, his
hair glued Ia patches with clotted gore,
and his long arms and hideous head
besmeared with blood, was the red ape.
HIS lips were glued to a gaping wound
in his masters threat, and he was suck
ing the blood from the jugular vein, stop
ping occasionally to utter low howl OF
satisfaction, and beat the ground with the
| fragment of his broken chain.
1t was not till he was fairly riddled
with pistol bullets and rife balls that
Mungo abandoned the body of his victim
The corpse, except for the wound in the
throat, was unmutilated. The ape, driven
frantic by hunger, must have descended
on his master though break in the roof
while he slept,and fastened his teeth in his
windpipe. Weak as he was from his late
illness, Seller could probably offer but a
slight resistance, which was insufficient
to shake the powerful brute from his
deadly hold.
In spite of his wounds the monkey
murderer was yet alive. A rope was
male last to his legs, and he was dragged
into the middle of he plaza, where he
was fastened to stake and burned, while
his enemies made merry around him over
a cask Of lum, which a shop-keeper
broached in honor of the occasion. When
the rum was all gone, and everything
that was left of the victim was an evil
looking and worse smelling heap among
the embers, the jewellers went about their
business, and the buzzards soon cleared
the earth of the last remains of Mungo

LnVAsa RnnrfAI,

Loves Burial.
Thou hast passed from life, and thou knowest
it not;
The light is quenched in thine eyes, wot;
Thy rose-red mouth; it is wan and sere,
And thou art dead; my poor dear!
One summer night myself saw
Thee laid in earth with shuddering awe;
The nightingales futtered low dirge-like lays,
And the stars came out on thy bier to gaze.
As the morning train through the wood
defles,
Their litany peals up the branching aisles;
The pine trees, in funeral mantles dressed,
Moan prayers for the soul that is gone to rest.
And as by the mountain tarR we wound,
The elves were dancing a fairy round;
They stopped, and they seemed, though start
led thus,
With looks of pity to gaze at us.
And when we came to thy lone earth bed,
The moon came down from the heaven DER.

She spoke of the lost one, A sob, stound!
And the bells in the far-away distance sound.

who are suffering from the affection of
which it has relieved me may have the
benefit without delay or cost. There are
few who have suffered more from this ter

best physicians without relief, and al. the
would-be cures were total failures. This
recipe was sent me by a friend. tried it
as had hundreds of others. I still feel
threatened at times: but one dose, or at
most two or three, is perfect relief: 2
ounces of iedide of potassium, dissolved
in one quart of water. Take one table,
spoonful three times day. 1t takes hot
water to dissolve it. After using, accord.

Farmers must employ labor in
the same ratio they get for their

LUMP MA
CHIMES.

The State of North Carolina
is largely interested in the man
ufacture Of plug tobacco, and ii
is to the interest of parties en-
gagged in that business to know
the various improvements which
have been made, especially in
the manufacture Of the Jumps,
which have been to a great ex-
tent made entirely by hand labor.
Many machines have been de-
vised to accomplish this desira-
BILE end in England, Canada and
the United States. Each in
ventor has claimed to have the
machine that is perfect in every
respect, but after the expenditure
of much money, time and pa
thence, all was in vain, and the
manufacturer has had to go back
to the old handmade plug, dis
gusted with his experience. We
desire now to call attention to a
few machines which have really
accomplished what their makers
claim, viz: a perfect lump
square at the edges and corners,
with the least possible consump-
ton of wrapper, and at a less
cost than hand made work. The
first machine we mention is the
invention Of Ed. Holbrook, Jr.,
of Louisville, Ky. It consists
of a large double hydraulic
press, with a trough or moulds,
capable of receiving 6 to 10
sheets of tobacco, each 2sB wide
and 8 feet long. An extension
of this mould is at one end Of
the press, in which the tobacco
is placed in layers one above the
other. Each layer being weighed
and evenly spread. As soon as
the right number of layers have
been put up, the whole is moved
forward on rollers under the fol-
lower of the large press and sub
Jected to a pressure OF several
hundred tons. 1t is allowed to
sand under pressure while the
next set Of layers is being packed.
After the pressure Is removed
the boards on which the layers
Of tobacco are rolled out and I'M
packed. Each sheet of tobacco
is then cutoff to the right length
by a cross cut knife worked by
power) and then passing through
a set of splitting knives (also
worked by power is made into
neat square cornered plugs or
nips ready for the wrapper. No
inside wrapper is needed for
these Jumps and they take less of
the outside wrapper than a round
lump. The machine is capable
of making from 5000 to 10000
pounds per day of nips or Jumps
and each lump true and exactly
the same size as the the others.
The large royalty or patent fee
asked, together with lis great
first cost, has prevented manu-
