A Cruel Massacre.

The Mandalay correspondent of the
Calcutta Englishman thus describes
the recent massacre of the royal family
of Burmah by order of the King: A
council was held by the King and his
young advisers, and the conclusion
come to was that determination was the
only means whereby he could obtain
safety. The immediate execution was,
therefore, ordered of every one in
prison. Executioners were. easily OBJ
tanned, and with darkness commenced
the scene of slaughter. 1t being, how
ever, found inconvenient to get through
the job in one night, division was
made, and some twenty were chosen.
These were severely beaten and kicked
the women being shamefully treated.
When ifeless they were hurled into
large well in the garden. Children
were torn to pieces before their
parents eyes, and the parents them
selves then put to death. The Meckra
Prince was made witness of the most
atrocious conduct toward his wife and
children, and saw his aged mother
beaten senseless to the ground and then
dragged to the well and tumbled in.
Thongya's family Jared the same, as also
the two Menghees, the Myodawlaw, his
two sons and the Phawoon. The
Princes, instead of being put in along
with their families, were killed last and
thrown into the river.

linn Younger,s Wound.

On the 21st of September, 1876, the
Younger brothers, now safely lodged
in the penitentiary in this city, were
captared in large clump of bushes not
far from the village of Madelia, by a
posse of seven men, after a severe hand
to-hand encounter, in which two of the
robbers were killed and Jim Younger
severely wounded by an oblong bullet
from a needle-gun in the hands Of
Capt T. l. Vought, who was standing
within ten feet of him when he fired.
The bullet split his upper lip, carried
away the right half of the jaw and. pen
etrating the back part of the throat,
where it is supposed to have turned
upon the maxillary bone, lodged in the
muscles of the back part of the throat,
where it has been ever since. For
long time past he has not been able to
do any work whatever, and it thought
he would necessarily die soon.
However, Last Monday, the prison
surgeon, Pritt, made an incision in the
roof of his mouth to where the bullet
lay, but found it firmly imbedded' in
the muscles, and, it was thought, at
tached to a piece of bone. A day or
two passed in the most intense pain
and agony, when Hospital Steward
Clark, at the earnest request of Younger,
made an examination, and with proper
instruments proceeded to carefully sep
arate the muscles from the ragged and
battered bullet, without doing any more
cutting, as it lay near the salivary gland
and deep muscles of the throat, which
rendered it very difficult place to
work. A portion of two days was spent
in this manner, when last Thursday the
bullet was safely dislodged, much to
the Joy of the sufferer, who is greatly
relieved, and whose prospects of re-
covery are now good. The bullet would
undoubtedly have sloughed off in time,
but its early removal has relieved him
OF an immense amount of intense suf-
fering he would have had to undergo
had it been left to work its own way
out.
Jim bore up under the tedious opera
ton bravely without the use of any slim
ulant or medicine, and says that $780,
600 would be no temptation to have the
ugly thing returned to the place it has
occupied for so long.
The bullet, which is at present in our
possession, is twisted, battered and
creased out of any describable shape,
and is the property of Steward Clark,
to whom it was given by Younger, as
the one most entitled to it. 1t is a
valuable curiosity. = Jefferson City
