EUROPE UNgAsY.-A London special
says The air is thick with disturbing
rumors. The telegraph flashes ugly news.
Russia is angry with Germany and Aus
tria, and officially declares that the plague
has ceased, and requests her neghbors to
remove the restrictions on her commerce.
France makes a strfnge concentration OF
her troops On the Belgian frontier. Rus
sian agents help TO revive reports that
Germany desires TO annex Holland, crest
ing quite panic among the better class of
the Dutch. 1t is even reported that war
is expected. and that France will strike at
G.rmanys power by taking Belgium,
and the latter Holland. Where there is
80 much smoke there must be FIRE. Lat
terly, Germany has been imperious TO-
ward Holland. The relief that England
Is having her hands full in Asia and Ar
fica promotes the expectation that anoth-
er attempt will be made to reconstruct
the map OF Europe. The &Gndard'S
Berlin correspondent vouches for the
truth of the rumors so far a: relates to
Germany and Holland. The Dutch pa
rers are full OF exciting editorials. There
Is an uneasy feeling in France. Spain
end England are wrangling over com,
inercial treaties. Italy ia discontented
with the action of France and England
in Egypt, and altogether Europe cannot
be said to be settling down to peace with
honor, but is in an agitated, uneasy cen,
dtion, which may lead to anything in the
shape Of revolution and war. Turning to
Asia and Africa, the British ara evidently
taking permanent possession of important
points of the conquered territory, and
mean to go to Cabul and also to Herat, il
convinced that Russia has the same inten-
ton, though as at present advised it will
bot be surprising il Russia gets their first.

THE Democratic State Convention will
be held in Sacramento on Tuesday, May
9th. As the date is just one week prior
20 the Wsrkngmen's Convention, our
Democratic friends lay themselves liable
to the suspicion that they will attempt TO
nominate State Ticket which will be
endorsed by the Kearncyites. The fact Of
the Democratic Committee meeting last
and fixing the date of its Convention first
is significant.

will help to determine to what section of
the human family these people belong.
Probably they will be found to pertain
to some special polar Monaghan or polar
Caucasian race.
The features are less Nongolian in type
than are those of the EsquamauZ or the
other indigenous tribes Of Siberia. The
hair is generally, but not invariably
black, and the complexion is decidedly
light. Young women are often very fair,
handsome and of perfect symmetry and
fine proportions. The men are tall ,aboye
the average height of mans growth,
some of them attaining to very little
short of the splendid stature of the best
specimens Of humanity in northern Ed
rope. One woman is mentioned to me
as being of gigantic size, SO large, in fact,
that she might well be shown for money.
One of Nordenskjolds attaches has a
note regret at this moment impossible
to me-of her height and bulk, the for
nler being over seven feet.
1t is a matter of considerable difficulty
to estimate their ages with any approach
to accuracy as their idea of numbers are
very vague, apparently not extending
beyond eight or ten numbers. Thus if
they wish to express five they hold up
one hand, with the fingers spread out;
ten they represent with two hands, 20
with the hands and feet, and if their
calculation goes beyond that second
individual is called to aid in the demon
stration of numbers between twenty and
forty. 1t viii be apparent from this that
the age of individuals is not carefully
recorded or remembered, but some of
the people had evidently attained an ex-
treme age. Little more, SO far, remains
to say about them or their mode of life
except that they possess a few guns
among them, are familiar with gunpow-
der, and have in use some American axes,
knives and pots. Very little foreign
clothing is employed by them, their
vestments being almost exclusively of
skin. The nation probably numbers ten
thousand souls, of whom one half inhabit
the htoral between Tschaun Bay and
Behring Strait and the other half dwell
in the interior of the country.
Although the deck of the Vega con-
tanned numbers of them, from eight
O'Clock in the morning till six at night
daily during her stay, nothing was stolen.
When desired to leave the visitors de-
parted. On the whole it is impossible
to imagine a more Arcadian race, though
no philosopher has yet expected to dis
cover Arcadia so near the North Pole
A people without chiefs and without
criminals. experimenting no diffionlty in
the distribution of the product of their
joint exertions in fishing or hunting,
whose sole sign of pride or wealth of
fancy is the possession Of boat little
larger then ordinary, may we'll deserve
the respect they have earned from Nor
denskiold and his party, and prove fit

and the next day Lulu felt so much
better that she drove to the gypsy en-
campment with her father; but the wan
derers had departed, and when they re-
turned again to the neighborhood, five
years after, Lulu was Mrs. De Lancy,

Carl, after the chief, who, with his son,
came to Sanford Hill to visit them
The gypsy boy had grown into hand

When asked by Lulu and her husband
about Viola, he said in low, stern voice:
'sShe is dead, lady; our tribe sentenc-
ed her to die by her own hand, and, be-
ng a gypsy, she obeyed."
And Captain Carl and his son wended
their way back to their woodland en-
campment, burying in their hearts a Bit
ter secret.

8 TWO TERRIFIED HUNTERS.

Two Vermont hunters, John Sim
mons and VIM. Sheean, aver that they
met with strange adventure q day or
two since, on the "Pino Crabble" peak,
just east of Blackstone village, four miles
north Of North Adams. This pine cap
ped peak was, some years ago, the resort
seldom visited. The story of the hunters
is that, while hunting in the vicinity of
this mountain, they heard slight noise
near a rugged cliff, and saw huge hairy
object, apparently half man and half
beast, spring from behind the cliff and
start for the woods, running with the
speed of the wind. Mistaking it for a
wild animal, one Of the hunters fred at
it. The shot appeared to take effect in
the arm, for, with a scream of pain the
creature halted, tapped the wound, and,
turning, charged its pursuers, who, with
empty guns in hand dared not measure
strength with such a foe. Dropping
their guns, both sought safety in flight,
and stopped only when compelled to do
SO for lack of ability to run further. The
men say they are positive the creature
resembIed man in its general appear
ance. 1t was wild eyed and very fierce
in its disposition, Judging from the
short time they saw it.
The hunters story revives the long
forgotten, but now distinctly recalled
yarn to the effect that many years ago q
funatic, then q young man, escaped from
his keepers from somewhere near the
New York state line, and gained the
mountain businesses, where he evaded
pursuit, and, it is thought, subsisted on
berries and the flesh of animals killed
through means best known to himself.
Several years later, q strange creature,
answering the description of the being
recently seen, with the exception of the
grizzly beard, was discovered by party
of children who were berrying on the
mountain, and it is thought that this
may be the same.
The hunters say that they are positive
that it was no optical illusion, but gen.
uine wild man, and q very fierce one at
that. The creatures arms, they say,
were long and hairy, and it looked
very much like full grow gorilla. They
aver that it ran with remarkable swift
ness, all the time uttering loud cries, as
though in pain and enraged. They de-
clare that it was only by their utmost
exertions that they escaped their pursuer,
and they say there is not money enough
in Massachusetts to hire them to again
venture across its path.
There is talk of organizing an armed
force in Williamstown to go in search of
the creature.

IN THE COILS OF A SERPANT.

One of the most intrepid wild beast
tanners in Europe, Karolyi, Magyar of
colossal statue and extraordinary phys
ical strength, has recently fallen victim
to dread contingency of his perilous
profession. He was performing, before
a crowded audience in Madrid the other
day, one of his most sensational feats,
which consisted in allowing huge boa
constructor, over 20 feet in length, to
ehfold his body in its tremendous coils,
when suddenly piercing cry escaped
him, which was greeted by the public
with round of applause, under the sup
position that its utterance constituted a
part of the performance. 1t proved,
however, to be the outcome of strong
mans death-agony. The gigantic snake
had frightened its coils, and crushed
poor Karoly's life out of him with one
terrific squeeze. As his head fell back
and his eyes became fixed in a CLASSY
stare, the plaudits died away and were
succeeded by stiffness of utter conster-
nation. The snake and its lifeless victim
swayed for a second or two of inexpres-
sible horror, and then toppled over on
the boards of the stage; but the boa did
not in the least relax his grip upon the
corpse which remained for more than an
hour imprisoned in its hideous thraldom,
nobody daring to approach the 1.-THE
monster, of whose powers such appalling
proof had been given. At length it
occurred to one of Karoly's attendants
to place bowl of milk in cage within
sight of the mighty serpent, which slowly
unwound itself from the dead body and
glided into the den, irresistibly tempted
thereto by its favorite dainty. A post
mortem examination showed no fewer
than 81 fractures OF his bones, effected
by the construction of the serpant's coils.
His death must have been almost instan-
taneous, as the spine was disarticulated
in several places. Telegraph.

THE INVENTORS WORK.
WHAT MAY TAKE THE PLACE OF PRESENT
ARTICLES IN USE.

1t is predicted by some that when the
forests Shall become comparatively ex-
hausted, and the price of lumber SO high
as to preclude its use for ordinary pur-
poses, its place will be filled by some
stuff similar to that produced by west
ern inventor, who congresses straw into
n substance as hard and indistructible as
oak. It is certainly not too much to ex-
pect; this may be an age of little men,
but it is an inventive age, and no sooner
does difficult problem arise than some
genius rushes to the rescue, and usually
suggests a way Of extrication.
Not long ago a southern woman, too
poor to buy q sack to suit her, went to
work and made cloth from the down of
feathers, that for richness is said to be
as far ahead of silk as the latter is ahead
of cotton cloth. Authority says that the
production of silk is liable at any time to
materially decrease, which would of
course necessitate an advance in price,
When that time comes we expect to see
a Yankee machine that will pick the down
from the hundreds of tons of feathers,
which, since the introduction of spring
beds, have been not much more than a
stumbling block in the market, and make
it into cloth so desirable that our ladies'
can see the price of silk go up, without
weeping or wringing of hands.
Right on the heels of the ssboom" in
iron comes the information that a gentle
man of Jefersonville, Ind, has patented
an invention which consists of making
gas and sewer pipes out of glass. 1t is
claimed that it will stand greater pres
sure than iron, and of course the great
enemy of iron pipes-rust, would not en-
ter into consideration. The material for
its manufacture abounds in nearly all
sections of the country, and it can be
made at cost of IS per ton, which is
less than is paid for freight on a large
portion of the iron pipe used.
Last summer there was q cook stove on
exhibition on Wabash avenue, construct
ed largely of glass and wood. This would
seem to be about the last article in the
manufacture of which iron could be dis
pensed with, but the variety and quality
OF its work we never saw surpassed, and
its durability was question of no doubt.
