The Morocco OF To-day.

MOROCCO is SO nearly barbarous, az
least SO nearly semi-civiiized. that NJ
seldom has any relation to European
politics. But the present Morocco Con.
ference, with the announcement of the
determination of the Sultan to punish
all who may be guilty Of wrongiug non.
Mohammcdan subjects, has drawn at.
tenton to a country which few foreign.
ers visit, and with which American,
have very little acquaintance. Morocco,
or Marocco, is called by the native,
Maghrib.el-Aksa, meaning the extreme
west; it includes the three former king.
doms of Maghrib, Fez and Tablet: con.
tains from 10000 toi27O,O00. (EnghAN

ly estimated at from 100000 to S,0OO,.
900. The country is generally noun.
tainous--the Atlas Mountains traverse
it in several parallel ranges from south.
west to northeast it has many Level
tracts. Between the central range Of
Atlas and the sea, the climate is temper.
ate, but in the southeast extremes of
heat and cold prevail, and rain never
falls. The inhabitants consist, like
those of Barbary in general, Of Moors,
Berbers, Arabs, negroes and Jews, with
a diversified offspring of promiscuous
miscegenation. More than two-thirds
of them are Moors--these are a mixture
of the Mauri, of Arabs, Romans, NUM-.
dams and PhGnicians-the other third
consisting of Berbers, Jews (35O,OOV
and negroes. There are very few
Europeans there, and there is very little
inducemcnt for them to 60 thither, since
the civilization is very low, many Of the
Berbers being little less than savagcs.
The theology ofthe land is Mohammedsn.
The native negroes are increased b!
slaves introduced from Soudan. For
convenient administration the country Is
subdividcd into thirtv.three governments
or districts, each under the supervision
of a caid, whose principal business is to
collect the imposts. The semi.indepen.
dent tribes are ruled by their own chiefs,
and scarcely acknowledge the sultan's
authority. The Government is abso.
lutely despotic, and in the absence Of
written laws the will of the Sultan (called
by Europeans and Americans the En-.
peror of Morocco) and Of his subordi.
mates is equivalent to law. Public off,
Gals chiefly support themselves byprac:
ticing extortion on their interiors, and
are in turn robbed by their Supporters.
The Sultan is styled by his subjects
Prince of Believers and Vicegcrent Of
God on Earth, the title being hereditary
in the male line, though not necessarily
descending to the eldest son. Learning
to read and write and to rccite portions
of the Koran is considered education,
which to this extent is pretty generally
acquired. Printing is unknown, and tho
arts and sciences are well-nigh null. The
sole industries of any consequence are
the manufacture of caps, fine silks ana
leather, in which last The people excel.

Death or /. y,c,,n Of 11yt,rophob,u.


ANOTHER painful case OF hydrophobia Is re.
ported. The death of Joseph Moorho''sc' OF
Elizabeth, N. j., which occurred Monday h'ynt
from hydrophObia, is said ny the Attending
physicians, eight i'm number, to have been the
most rapid ON record from that cause, the
victim dying in twenth-fOur hours after being
first attacked MoOrhouse, while playing with
pet mOnyrel dog in May, was bitten in tho
wrist. His arm was swollen for few days
after DR.. Pickett, Of Elizabeth. caltcrlLed
the wound. and MOorhousc thought no more
Of it. After saving some wood Friday,
MoorhOIsc said shea felt pam III ms
arm, but thOuG was rheumatism.
Saturday he TO his sister
that he felt tinS4tng sensation about the
wound. Sunday morning he attended Fulton
Street Methodist Church. where ne led the
choir. When he returned hume nc said his
shoulder panied him SO he decided TO stay
away from church that night. tie was single.
living with his two sisters i'll II cottage on
Broadway. When his sisters returned from
church at night they found him sitting in the
kitchen. There was wild look in his eyes,
and he said he could not sleep. The escort OF
one of the sisters volunteer to sit up with
him. Toward morning he became excited ANA
called for water, but when water was taken to
him he pushed it away, and complained that
he was choking. Early ON Monday morning
Drs. Kenan aud Mack were called in. Finding
the man intensely excited. they injected NOR
phine. and hastily called In Drs. Brown and
Pickett. After consultation four other ply
sicians were sent for, and in joint consultation
they agreed that MOOrhouse was attacked with
hydrOphObia.
In the meantime the man became violent,
and u great quantity of morphine was inject
cd, bul it was of no avail. The splslns did not
set in until toward night. Between the spasmS
MoOrhouSe constantly called for water, which,
while looking away, he would try to drink, but
could not. Once nc escaped into the street,
and. being brought back, he sat down to the
piano and wildly played hymn. Then rush
ing to the organ, he played II favoritc hymn of
his, 'NOthing but the Blood of Jesus Will
Cleanse Me-" ending by falling OF the stool in
violent fit. The physicians, fearing he
would get beyond control. held him while
chlOrOfOrm was given through his nOstrils.
They then bound him to the bed. Several
times the drug was applied, the attendants
not being able to hold him. The fits now bc-
came Terrible the man frOthing ut the mouth
and swapping, but not barking or snarling like
a dog. y little after eleven O'clock he sank
into st,lpor which was Thought to be tho
effects of the powerful drug, but it was death
coming TO his relief. He died a few moments
before midnight. Moorhousc was formerly II
fireman on the New York Central Railroad of
New Jersey, but lately he had been carrying
ON the business of blacksmith. He was Il

A Volcano Uader the ocean,


A RECENT Washington special says: "Com.
mander Huntington, of the United States
steamer Alert, in report to the Navy Depart
ment, just received, says that while on sur.
veying cruise in the Pacific, south of FOrtsizio
and Bovin Islands, on approaching the Island
of San AlessandrO, his attention was called to
the strange appearance of the water apparent
" ten miles distant. A volume of vapor was
rising as though some vessel were blowing OF
steam. This was followed by the appearance
Of breakers, and while some of the Officers
were discussing the probable cause, some
thinking it was the blowing and preaching of

nitely settled by the upheaval of an i'm

preached the submarine volcano the black
masses thrown up were distinguished
as mud and ashes The upheavals were &C
companied by dull reports like those from
