Famine's Manifold Horrors.

The accounts received in London of the famine in Morocco show frightful condition of things in some of the cities and villages. A correspondent, writing from Mizpah, Mogador, states that more than 13, ,O0O persons had perished in that town from hunger. There were dead or dying lying in every street in and out Of town. The dead were buried not more than one span deep, and the dogs soon uncovered tho earth and fed on the bodies. Small pox, measles, cholera and typhoid fever (the latter now rag iug), have succeeded each other. In the Mullah, or Jewish quarter, every house has been turned into hospital. The starvation was not confined to men cat tie, camels, horses, asses, sheep and poultry have all, or nearly all, perished but the dogs have survived, and in their unsuitable hunger, finding no food in towns and abandoned by their masters, who either died or left their villages II search of food, fed on human flesh
 Roaming over the country in bands o
 twenty, thirty or fifty, they would some
 times attack any human being they me I and devour him. Some twenty men
 women and children were eaten up with
 in one mile of the town.

How to Kill Flies.
A BIT OF REASONABLE ADVICE.

Before the close of the month, the Society for Promoting the Condition of Flies makes one final appeal. This ap- peal is not addressed to housekeepers only, or to honsemaids. Far less is it addressed to the general public '- which the society believes to be but a torpid and inefficient body. It is to in- dividuals of any degree of intelligence that we appeal-in particular to all who make up the great class of .grurablers, who in August and September will be angry if awakened from naps by flies, and will then protest against their incon- venient multitude.
 It must be within the observation of even the most stupid that in the warm days of this month heavy and unhappy places, and may be seen daily walking on window panes. For reasons best known to yourselves, you have given these old hulks shelter through the win ter. when kinder nature would have frozen them to death in November. If we adopt the calculations of Professor Unborn, each of these heavy moulded old brutes is now about to lay 2,OOO eggs. If each of these eggs produces a fly who lays 2,000 eggs before the lst of June, and from each of these 2,000 are matched and ready to lay before the list
 of July, to furnish each brood of 2,OOO
 before the first of August, the number
 of flies produced from this single ancestor, sready to disturb your repose on the 1st
 of September, will be 16. .000, ,00O, ,OO0, OCO
 say, in round numbers, sixteen million
 million flies capable of attack on that
 day. If, however, we take the lesser
 figures of Professor Howlisch, who com
 putes the average brood to be only 600
 the number of flies then capable of at tack will be only 1, ,296, 100000; say, il
 round numbers, one thousand two hun
 dred and ninety million. Even thi smaller number is very considerabl , attacking force on hot summer after noon. You have it in your power, then , very consldera bly, to diminish the mum l Der of your assailants by gently takin l this one old heathen off the window an 3 dropping him into the fire. He wi r never know what hurt him, and you wi 3 relieve society of several hundred mi r lion of putative and possible nuisance : The society ventures to add that if yo r see on window from twenty to hun 0 dred little flies, just matched and vel j, wretched, by kindly putting them ol @ of misery by the gentle pressure of
 wet napkin you are relieving yourselv' q and your fellow-men from no end of di q tress three months hence.
 To ladies who do not expect to wis S their country houses till June ends, u it society humbly suggests that the de ,- patch of house-maid to-day with i r. structions to kill every fly on the wi ,s dows will save no end of dirt and distre
 before the fall.
 d This is the society's last word. ,r any man or woman disregard it | in wretchedness of next September is | ,e own. The society is not responsible.

His Lesson.

cit surprises me to see young man like you here," said Judge Bowker, at Reno, Nev., the other day to fellow who had been whooping it over night. "You filled yourself up with an enemy to deprive you of brains, proceeded the Court, rearranging its spectacles and glaring at the culprit. "Now, here you are, a yonng man of intelligence with good clothes on, and doubtless you have @ mother and sisters who think good deal more of you than I do. You've been sent to school and taught how to earn a good living. In return flor all this you go screaming around the streets at midnight, tearing down signs and making wild beast of yourselE Is that like the conduct of a reasonable crea- ture? No, of course it isn't. Now, I'm going to teach you lesson, young man. You needn't turn pale, for it won't help you any. You're discharged. Next time you're tempted to take drink think of my kindness and refrain from the de- passing habit, for if I catch you here again up you go, and all Reno can't save you."

SONG OF FIFTY YEARS OLD.

A place in thy memory, dearest,
 Is all that claim; To pause and look back when thou nearest The sound of my name. Another may woo thee, nearer,
 Another may win and wear; 1 care not though he be dearer,
 If l am remembered there. Remember me-not as a lover
 Whose hope was cross'd, Whose bosom can never recover
 The light it has lost As the young bride remembers the mother She loves, though she never may see As sister remembers brother,
 O, dearest! remember me. Could be thy true lover, dearest,
 Could'st thou smile on me, I would be the fondest and nearest
 That ever loved thee! But cloud on my pathway is glooming, That never must burst upon thine, . And Heaven, that made thee all blooming, Ne'er made thee to withsr on mine. Remember me, then!-O! remember, My calm, light love; Though bleak as the blasts of November My life may prove, That life will, though lonely, be sweet If its brightest enjoyment should be A smile and kind word when we meet, And place in thy memory.

Mir. Arthur Arnold writes that far

MT. Arthur Arnold writes that far mer in the isle of Jersey who had just thrashed crop yielding the fine average of fifty bushels to the acre, said to him in 1877 : II should like to be an Eng fish farmer" "Why?" Iasked. ''What I wisb," I added, :" is to see English far mers produce crops like yours. "Ah," he said, "that is all very we'll, but what should like would be to ride in gig like an English farmer and to go about the fields with my hands in my pockets and take it easy" Why did the Jersey farmer do so very well !? "Because upon his little farm there IS no waste of labor, no eye-service, and he possesses such abundant capital that an expenditure of 92O an acre for the manuring of single season is by no means uncommon"
 Prince Alexander, who is to rule the Bulgarians, is 8 Ressian. He IS the second son of Prince Alexander of Hesse and the Countess Hancke, the daughter of former Polish Minister of War. Their children, four sons and one daughter, are known as Princes and Princesses of Battenberg. Prince Alex ander, the choice of tbe Bulgarians, was born April 5, 1857. He received mil itary education, and at the outbreak of the Russo-Turkisk war received permis- sion from the Czar to join the staff of the Grand Duke Nicholas, commander in-chief. He was one of the first to cross the Danube, and continued on active duty throughout the campaign. He took part in the defence of the Shipka Pass, the investment of Plevna, and the victorious advance on Constantinople. After the war he returned home to Darmstadt, and in short time was transferred to the Prussian Gardes du Corps, the Emperor Williams body guard. The Prince is likely to be re- garded with favor by the reigning houses of Europe. His father, Prince Alexan- der, is on intimate terms with the sov- ereigns of Great Britain, Austro-Hun' gary and Russia. He is a general in both the Russian and Austrian armies, and has some reputation as @ diploma tist. His aunt is Empress of Russia, and his cousin, Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse, was the husband of the late Princess Alice of England. Finally, he is an officer in the Prassian service, and as such must be more or less in sympa- thy with the imperial house of Germany.

The Massacre at Mandelay.
HORRIBLE DETAILS OF THE SLAUGHTER
 OF BURMESE PRINCES.

The Rangoon correspondent of the London NeaOs says: At first the mas sacre was carried on BhanaG thonsan ateing, according to the old Burmese use and wont. The victims were led cut of their cells in twos and threes, brought to shekho to the King, and then dis posed of in ordinary Buddhist fashion. The head of the victim was tied down to his ankles, and blow on the back of the neck from heavy club put him out of pam. But this soon proved too mild spectacle for the fendish mania of Theebau. The Thongzai Prince, whose insolent bearing English visitors to Mandelay will remember, on being brought to do reverence to his young brother-the King is just twenty-one- professed an utter scorn for what could be done to him, and was flogged to death. The late Kings oldest son, the truculent Mekhaya Prince, who used to look upon all foreigners as so much dirt under his feet, turned craven, and was taunted and driven to madness before receiving the blow, which only half stunned him, when his writhing body was thrown into the gigantic trench dug to receive the victims. The massacre was carried on in a leisurely fashion, extending over several days, iendish in- genuity being taxed to the utmost to de- wise fresh horrors. Moung Oke, the Governor of Rangoon when it was cap- tured by the British in 1856, had his nose and mouth filled with gunpowder, light was applied, and he was then flung into the trench to be stifled by the bodies of succeeding victims. The daughter of the Nyoung Yan, young girl of sixteen, was handed over to eight soldiers of the Royal Guard, to be pitched insensible into the same heav- ing grave, when they had gratified their brutal lust. The wife of one Prince, far advanced in pregnancy, was ripped up, and the agonized husband was brought to see his wife and child once more before he died. Alter some days of this sort of thing, the executioners got weary, and hurried through their task. Little childron were put in blankets and swung against the palace walls; women were battered over the head, as taking less trouble than tying them up so as to get blow at the neck. Altogether about ninety persons are be- lieved to have been put to death in this way. No one was allowed to leave the palace while the massacre was going on, but it seems certain that MT. Shaw, our Resident, was inside the palace walls within very short time of its com
 mencement. He had been to concert given by one of the Ministers. One ob
 iect of this p,0oi was to drown the crie' of the victims. The remonstrance whict
 Mir. Shaw, at the instance of our Gov ernment, addressed to the King was re ceived with the utmost contempt, an'
 he was told in as many words to mint his own business that Burmese domes
 tic affairs had nothing whatever to d.
 with the British Government.

A Plucky Girl.

Commend us, says an exchange, to Carrie Roberts, the young and plucky maiden who was "at home" to tramp who paid visit to the house of her em- ployer, in New Lebanon, Ohio. It is not every young woman who, being alone in dwelling and suddenly discov- ering the presence of a robber, would have had the presence of mind to make direct for his hair and to administer to him lesson that made him glad enough to drop his booty and escape from the premises, followed by several shots from revolver fired in quick succession. If tramps in general came across such en- ergetic domestics their intrusions would be less frequent and less impudent than they now are. Circumstances, of course, favored Carries feat, or probably we ought to say her hands. If the tramp had been bald-headed, or had worn a wig, she could not have given him such conclusive evidence of her strength as to convince him of the prudence of Q re- treat. We can only express our regret that Carries aim was not as steady as her nerves and that she did not prevail on her visitor to stop by we'll directed shot from her revolver, although he doubt. less left her a lock of his hair.

A Funny Congressman.

Congressman Horr of Michigan, Tn
 speech on the Legislative Appropriation bill, took occasion to pitch into most everybody. He ridiculed the bill of MT. De La Matyr for the issue of a billion of greenbacks, and when that gentleman said that he only presented the bill and did not endorse it, replied |: I am glad of it.. The bill would make a horse laugh, if he had any sense of the ridiculous. What the country needs IS rest and quiet. The business interests demand that we should pass the appro- priation bills and go home about our business. Why do we not? How long (moving up toward the Greenbackers, addressing the question to them) do you suppose it would take the Treasury to print the money that these fellows want I figured it up. It would require ten steam presses working day and night for the next six months, Some fellow has figured up statistics about the flood, and has discovered that it must have rained 80O feet of solid rain every day. Now, in order to meet the requirements of these gentlemen, they would have to get their clergyman (meaning MT. De La Matyr) to ask our Father above to open again the doors and windows of heaven, and have 1t rain greenbacks in stead of water for forty days. Laughter. ]
 Of the "Independent" men he said Who are these "Independent men T' As rule they are good for nothing always on both sides of every question and on neither side of any. Renewed laughter. They are half fish and halt woman-political mermaids-too much woman to be good for anything as fish, and too much fish to be good for any thing as woman. Shouts of laughter. It is surprising to me that men of bus mess, men who have material interests at stake, should conceive the idea that money can be made by legal enactment Then, moving over to the Democratic side and addressing Southern members he said: What the country needs ano what the South needs is not more green
 backs. I am not a sectional man, but good feeling man, and I say what yor want down there is to so to work
 TLaughter. You want to raise Gin Mis-

 raise horses and hogs moro and hell less TLauchter on both sides of the House.

In School Books,

It is said that scarlet fever and other contagious diseases are disseminated by school books. Tue scholar carries his books home, is taken sick, and of course stays at home. When he is convales- cent he uses h1s books little, and the particles of peeling skin which contain the germs of the disease are rubbed from his hands and inclosed within the leaves. Books cannot easily be disin- footed and when some other child uses these books he is extremely liable to contract the disease. Books which have been used by one who has scarlet fever, or any contagious disease, had better be burned,

An EnterpriSing Gang.

The Pail Mall London) Gazette says: It would be amusing if their operations had not began with such hideous tra- gedy, to watch the doings of the Kelly gang of bushrangers in Victoria and New South Wales. Here we have four young men, the leader little more than a boy, who have kept the frontier of two great and hourishing colonies ill state of constant alarm for months. They dash into one township in Victoria, lock up half the inhabitants, steal the whole of the available cash in the bank, and dis appear. The colonial police are as power less to catch them as the Russian police are to put down the Nihilists. Time passes on, the bushrangers' funds are perhaps running rather low, and they suddenly come out again, this time on the New South Wales side, at the town ship of Jerilderie. Here the band begin by capturing the policemen on Satur- day, Feb. 8th, pass Sunday in decent quiet, and on Monday proceed, as at Euroa, to take into custody and lock ur such persons as might interfere with them. Then they robbed the bank ol e2, ,OOO, and, having made this nice little haul, they were gracious enough to trea the townspeople at the various bars, and from being simply murderous, became quite urbane. Later they went off onc' more with their gains and two capita police horses. A reward of G8,000 wal offered for their capture; but two month
 have now elapsed and the telegraph ha
 not brought news that this has been eff | faotad

"The Downs," on which the famous races are run, are with in quarter of miles walk of hill, on the summit of which stands the Oar dams, Lord Rosebery's' seat, command ing view of the town on one side and the full sweep of the Downs on the other.
