Grent BENIN.

In May, 1888, Mcssrs Moffat and Smith,
surgeons on board merchant schooner,
went to the city of Great Benin, wishing
to open. or rather reopen. trade. The lat
ter, Every promising young man." died
with ram. They were Mortified to sec q
trench full of bodies at which the turkey
buzzards were tugging, and ''two corpses
in sitting position" These victims had
probably been dispatched with formal
message announcing tho arrival Of stran-
gers to the Kings father in Ghost-land.
The Same unpleasant spectacle was offered
in August, 1862, when visited Benin,
accompanied by Lieutenant Stokes of her
Majesly's ship Bloodhound, and DR.. Henry.
In the tall rank hcrbage, on tho right of
the path leading into the city, appeared
the figure of a iino young man, bare TO the
waist, with arms extended and wrists fas-
tened to scaffold frame work of peeled
wands, poles and stakes planted behind
him. For moment We thought that the
wretch might be alive; few steps con-
vinced US of our mistake. He had been
crucifcd after tho African fashion, seated
on rough wooden stool, with a white
calico cloth yelling the lower limbs Be.
wcon the ankles stood an uncouth image
of yellow clay, concerning which the
frightened natives who accompanied ut
would not speak. A rope of iliana, In
negro English called "tic-tio' bound tigh,
round the neck to stake behind, had
been the immediate cause of death. The
features still showed strangulation, and
tho sacrifice was 80 fresh that, though the
flies were there, the turkey .buzzards hat
not found the eyes. The blackness of tho
skin and the general appearance proved
that the sufferer was q slave. No emotion
whatever, ssve holding the nose, was
shown by the crowd Of Benlnese, men and
women, who passed by; nor was there any
expression Of astonishment when Ireturnet

Umbrella Dignity

In Brrmah the umbrella has deep and
secret meaning TO convey what is as double
Dutch at first to the foreigner eye. 1t Is the
necessary finish to the out of door toilet Of
the Peguan or Burmese fasbinable, but it
Is much more. 1t has very delicate duties
to perform which could not SO well be al
loted IN Bur,nah to any other instrument.
Gold or glded ulnbrollas, which in the
provinces may be carried by anybody, arc
reserved in the capital for princes Of the
blood alone; and red umbrellas are affected
by the grandce Of Burmese society as being
the most gaudy appearance, Etiquette
has also fixed the exact number Of umbrel-
las that Burmese mobiles may display when
they approach tho ''lord OF the golden
palace: and 1t has now been settled beyond
possibility OF dispute that no ono but the
Ein-she-Mcn, or heir apparent Is entitled
to have borne over his litter the full COM
plement of eight golden umbrellas. 70
carry letter under golden umbrella Is to
accord to 1t royal honors in Burmah. Eight
golden umbrellas are properly carried over
kings letter; and when the Burmese
authorities would not permit the umbrellas
to be carried over governor generals
letter, according to custom, Major Phayre,
Envoy 10 Burmai, IN 1862, insisted upon

way from the residency to the palace.

e,lI Times III Colorado,

The first settlers of Boulder, say wri-
ter from that place, came here in 1868. In
1863 quite number came, and some sixty
low houses were erected before 1860
stepped in. Of these log houses but few
remain. Christmas, 1859, saw jovial
crowd OF dancers in one of these houses,
windowless, we believe, at.thc time. Tho
hardy pioneers went after fun and had 1t.
On the night in question, about two hun
dred SONS of toll and seekers of gold and
their fortunes, and seventeen ladies, had
assembled at the aho e-named place to par
take of frontier terpsichorean. MaTinus
4. Smith was then one of the beaux of
town, and his dress suit consisted of pants
made out of seamless sacks, and colorcd
blue by the aid of logwood. A lady now
living in town had an elegant dress made
out OF flour sacks, also colored by the aid
of logwood. There were few whits shirts
in the neighborhood then, most of tho
pioneers wearing woolen or flannel ones.
A man with white shirt on was in style
and could dance with his coat off; man
without any would wear coat buttoncd
up to the neck. Coats for dancing pur-
poses did not seem to be any too numer-
ols, consequently the pioneers helped
each other out For instance, Alf. Nichols
had six white shirts which wero all at that
ball and the coats of these six white shirt
cd fellows went to cover the backs OF some
one else. When one fellow had dance
he would loan his coat to another, and
then his turn would como, and so the white
shirts and long coats were dancing all
night, and went around among the two
hundred mon. There were no wall flowers
among tho seventeen ladies' But they
say the supper for the occasion was a
grand affair: wash-boilcrs full of coffee,
great hunks Of black-tailed deer, jack-rab-
bits, fish, game and delicacles brought
from the States In cans, all went to make
up glor Gus supper-onc that the par
takers would like to sec repeated. There
may not have been much style, but the
seamless sacks and -four bags saw as much
p ure enjoyment as does tho finest and
gaudiest attire ~ .n-.ia,.

They Missed tho hoy After All

Jack was not bad boy, but he was
terribly mlschievous aud his parents
really felt relief at the thought that he was
to start for boarding school the next day.
His father thought of it when he found
that Jack had used his razor to whittle a
khe-stick. He thought 80 again when he
discovered that Jacks ball had gone
through the parlor window. Jacks mother
thought so when she found muddy foot
prints all over the parlor carpet and q
great scar on the piano leg. They both
thought so when their chat at the supper
table was interrupted by whlstling and the
upsetting of the milk pitcher. and they told
Jack 80, when, after having driven almost
wild his father, who was trying to read tho
evening newspaper, by getting up fight
between the dog and cat, he sat down on
his mothers new bonnet she had just been
liking and utterly ruined 1t. Early tho
next morning Jack was packed off. Obi
what relve from noise and trouble 1t was.
His fathers razor remains undisturbcd, no
sound OF breaking glass was heard, the par
lor carpet was unstained by mud. But somo
how the house didn't seem very cheerful
to its occupants 1t was long day.
Tea was served. There was no whist
ling and upsetting of dishes to interrupt
the conversation, but the talk didn't seem
to run sc smoothly after all. And when it
came to reading the evening newspaper and
fixing up anotner bonnet, the dog aud cat
slept serencly on the hearty-rug, and no
disturbance interrupted the proceedings.
That's the difference between having n
boy in the house and having him away,
and the gentleman put down his paper and
remarked US much to his wife, when noticed
quivcring about her mouth and two big
drops on her checks, and there was kind
of mistiness about his eyes that bothered
him about seeing.

Silly Impertlen1e OF An Irate Earl

Out of the giving of one of the most sue.
cessful and recherche balls of the season
there arose an unpleasant incident. Among
othere guests the hostess invited a noblo
lord of sporting proclivities and literary
tastes. He thanked her for the invitation,
but, pleading that his dancing days were
over, he wrote her that if she would ask
his daughter, Lady, in hls place he
should esteem it kindness. TO this tho
lady replied that as there were many
daughters of her personal acqualntances
whom she was Obliged to omit from her
list, she regretted that she could not invite
daughter whom she did not know. The
Earl, for such he was, swiftly retorted with
a note to this effect:
''Dear Mis-: AS l am not accustom-
ed to being refused, l beg you to erase
from the visiting list Of S., nee
the Iame of tho Earl Of and -.
Yours to command,
t. AND-,'
The lady took the naAa TO her husband,
who, indignant at the affront which he
considered had been put upon his wife,
wrote and demanded IN apology from the
Earl, The Earl declined to apologize. The
husband thereupon threatened to publish
the Earl's letter. The Earl forbade Ills do
ing so, adding that it was scarcely worth
while to trouble the papers, since probably
there was not one person In ten thousand
who would cross the road to see either of
them hanged
Thus the matter stands, and the friends
of each party are discussing with some an

SuffOcated by Night SOII-Terr1ble Fife
 feet of the Poisonous Gas.
 BALTIMORE, Feb. 15.-Charles R. Smith, aged fifty years, R. A. McCauley, aged twen- ty years and a colored man named Isaac Jones were suffocated by noxious gas and subsequently, drowned yesterday in the bulk head of barge used in transporting night soil. Smith, the captain of the barge, de- scended into the bulkhead to stop the holes communicating with the night soil in the hold, when he was overcome with the noxious ex- halations and fell down into the bulkhead, which contained two feet of water. His cries for assistance attracted the attention of his little son and McCauley, son of the proprie- tor of the barge. McCauley hastsned to the hatohway, and seeing the captain struggling for life in the water, descended into the bulk head for the purpose of rescuing him. Hard ly had he made the descent when he too felt the baneful effect of the poisonous gas and fell alongside the captain. Meanwhile Cap tain Smiths son had communicated the intel igence to Jones, who was working in an ad joining brick yard. Jones hurried with all possible speed to the assistance of the white men, whom he saw struggling unconsclousiy in the last throes of death. He then went down into the bulkhead and was overcome like the others and was drowned. Smiths son, who witnessed the terrible occurrence, informed 8 policeman, who procured help and had the bodies removed. The affair caused immense excitement in South Balti- more, and the scene of the disaster was soon crowded with people, among whom were sev- eral children of the victims. An investiga- tion was at once begun by the authorities. The bodies were removed home, where the saddest of scenes were witnessed.

New Hampshire,

Cheating the GallOws-Death of Young
 Dillingham-A Bullet Found I'm His
 Head.
 PORTSMOUTH, Feb. 15.-Frank Dillingham;, the Londonderry murderer, died in the city jail this morning at 10 o'clock. He was ar- raigned in court yesterday and pleaded not guilty to the murder of his aunt, and was fully committed for trial without bail. The prison CT during the examination gave evidence of weakness, but his condition was not such as to give serious concern. Later in the day, however, he grew worse, and in the evening just before retiring Sheriff Kent visited the jail and found Dillingham; asleep and quiet. Although 1t was the hour for giving him g powder the sheriff told the attendant not to wake him, but to wait until he awoze. At g o'clock he was taken with spasms, and 6 little after 10 o'clock the sheriff was sum- moned to the jail by message stating that in the opinion of the officers Dillingham; was dying. Upon examination it was found that his pulse was at 157 and 8 high fever had set ip, and he was in 8 convul- sion. Dr. Hall was immediately sent for, and he found that the thermometer showed 1O5 degrees of fever and pulse at 12O and evil dence of compression of the brain. Dilling- ham was perfectly senseless and motionless, and remained in the same comatose condition until he died. The post mortem developed that ball was imbedded in the brain two inches inside the skull. It will be remem- bered that the idea of his having bullet in his head had been ridiculed. Sheriff Kent telegraphed his friends as to what disposition they will make of his body.
