ROASTED TO DEATH BY THE SUN.

DIR. Schweinfurth, in lecture which he
recently delivered at the Berlin Geographic
cal Society on the subject of his latest ex-
plorations in Central Africa. cave nis hear
ers thrilling account Of the mode in which
capital pnnii.-thment is inflicted upon GRIM
inals by the Al Quadjis, small tributary
of-shoot Of the great and powerful Djour
people. The malefactor condemned to die
is bound to post firmly driven into the
ground in some open place where no trees
afford shade, and is there slowly roasted
to death-not by any artificial means in
volving waste of fuel, but by the natural
heat of the suns rays as they reach
our earth in it's equatorial regions. To
protract his sufferings and to avert
his too speedy end by surstroke,
the ingenious Al.Quadjis cover their
erring compatriot's head with fresh green
leaves, which effectually shield his brain
from Phebus darts. No such protection
is, however, accorded to his body, which
gradually dries up, shrinks together, and
ultimately becomes carbolized. One chance
of salvation is open to the roasting man,
while as yet he is not completely " done to
death" If cloud pass between the sun
and his place of torment he is at once cast
loose from his post and becomes the object
of popular reverence. as mighty magi-
clan in whose behalf the supernatural
powers have deigned directly to intervene.
But clouds seldom interfere with the ad.
ministration of justice on the days chosen
for public executions by the Al Quadii au.
thorities at least, that appears to be DR..
Schweinfurth's experience of African
weather as far as it bears upon the judicial
roasting of indicators. London Tele

Symptoms Of q Diseased Liver.

I)AlN in the right side, under the
/ edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom-
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sem
sation in the back part. There is gen
orally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of WEAKNESS
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up forthude enough to try il
In fact, he distrusts every remedy
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few Of them existed, yet exam,
nation of the body, after death, has
shown the LIVER to have been exten,
sively deranged.

LUNG CULTURE BY SINGING.

Some interesting researches by Prof.
Monassein, as cited in the Medical Woch-
enschryt of st. Petersburg, show that the
practice of singing, merely as physical
exercise, is one of the most healthful in
which person of any age can employ
himself. He examined two hundred and
twenty-five singers from nine to tifty-three
years of age, with reference to the pneu-
matometric and spirometric condition of
the singers, and proved that the circum-
ference of the chest is greater, relatively
and absolutely, among singers than among
those who do not sing, and that it increases
with the age and growth Of the singer.
This fact is ccrroborated by the expert.
ence of skilful trainers of the voice, who
combine with building a physical
training based upon thorough anatomical
and hygienic science. 1t is asserted by
some of these that many of the ills which
atflict human kind, and particularly the
female portion, arise from faulty breathing,
by which the lungs are but partially in
tiated, and, as consequence, the poisons
which should be thrown off by the breath
are absorbed into the system, causing all
manner of mysterious diseases. In fact,
many cases can be cited, in which diseases,
not only Of the pulmonary organs, but of
others remote from them, have been cured,
apparently by the improved respiration
which singing enforces. One cannot sing
without breathing deeply. The muscles
of the chest and abdomen must have full
play, the body must be erect, and every
facility must be given for the ingress and
egress of the air to the lungs. A fine
voice is of little consequence, if the singer
cannot breathe freely and to the very bot
tom of the lungs. Everybody knows the
comfortable and stimulating effect of a
long drawn breath after sitting in a
cramped position. This stimulating effect,
reproduced by frequent practice in sing
ing, strengthens the lungs, enlarges the
chest, and by admitting large accessions
of oxygen to the lungs, purifes the blood,
and sends its healing and strengthening
streams to every part of the body.-[Spring-

the surprise of all. the minority report

| the surprise of all, the minority report,
! which disfavored this proposition, found a
( supporter among the colored delegates, the
individual who thus inmortalized himself
being Bro. Lewis OF Alabama. Bro.
Lewis course is bitterly censured by his
brethren OF color, some of them calling
him in open Conference traitor and a
" son OF perdition. . We pity this gentle
man when he returns home.
Bro. Lewis was replied to by Bro.
Bell, of Louisiana, and the debate was
getting warm, when up jumped DR.. Lana
han, of Washington City. Now, when
DR.. Lanahan rises, everybody expects the
pending debate to come to an end, for the
Doctor has an irrepressible habit of getting
rid of
LoNG-wTNDED TALKS
On subjects on which every delegate has
already formed an opinion by moving
either the previous question or indefinite
postponement. He has so often made the
first-named motion that he is now CON-.
monty spoken of among the reporters as
Previous Question Lanahan. In this case,
however, he moved, not the previous les
ton, but indefinite postponement, and the
Doctor, | regret to say, had the bad taste
to preface his motion with speech. His
proposition to bring debate on this sub
ject to an untimely end was looked upon
with disfavor, and was voted against by
some who were as much opposed to a
colored Bishop as was DR.. Lanahan, but
the motion to indefinitely postpone pre-
vailed nevertheless, the vote taken by the
call of the roll for the ayes and nays
standing 229 in favor OF postponing to
1879 against. Thus was slaughtered and
buried for at least four years to come the
proposition to promote man of color to
the Episcopacy OF the M. E. Church.
An effort was made on Monday to have
Miss Frances E. Willard, President of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union, ad-
dress the Conference in ten-minute
speech. This was stoutly opposed by many
on the ground that it would be an infringe
ment on the valuable time of the body.
After two hours of discussion and filibus-
tering, the motion to invite her to speak
was carried by over hundred majority,
but the Conference Immediately adjourned,
and the next morning received note from
Miss Willard declining the privilege.
The Committee on ltineracy are pre-
pared to report unfavorably to the extern
sion of the pastoral term. The Committee
on Lay Representation have already re-
ported in favor of introducing lay repre-.
sentation into the annual Conferences. The
Committee on Book Concern have advised
the suspension of the National Depository
and Golden Hours.

THE ELVES.

With the noiseless beat of fairy feet,
Merrily race, without trace,
The fays athwart the green
While overhead the moon rose-red,
Showers the light of noonlike night
The charmed boughs between.
The bird may sleep in slumber deep
Upon its spray when fairies play,
Nor wake before the dawn,
For Zephyrs' sigh were tempest high
Amid the trance of elfish dance
Across the moonlit lawn.
Now in and out the joyous rout
Their mazes weave at shut Of eve,
When pipes the nightingale
Or hollow note from the owls pied throat
Nay music be for their wild glee,
When softer tunings fail.
Their drink the dew, a merry crew
From acorn cup they drink it up,
And wild with that draught made,
They dance amain till all are fain
Their play to close, in soft repose,
On beds OF clover laid.
But Chanticleer, the morn now near,
Preclud s the song of feathered thropg
Through all the country side:
Away they go like falling snow
Upon a stream, or winged dream,
They vanish unespied.

WHEN

When vanished is the vapor we call life,
And all the storms that US disappear
Sorrows sharp thorn, the weary wheel Of strife,
And all the miseries we feel or fear
When Of the ebay far spent night is born,
Before there dawns day that knows no night,
Shall we who see the glory OF such morn.
Shall we recall, upon that dazzling hight,
One touch Of this wild warfare Of the earth,
The wounds that SCARED us, or the tears wept
The sin that SO beset us from our birth,
The woes the wrongs, the cares that never slept
Or will there be gap betwixt that Time
And this Eternity which numbs the sense,
AS after sudden ceasng Of some chime
A heightened pause makes rest the more intense

WHERE THE Cold WAVES CONE FROM
Meteorological observations have now be-
come so extended that evidence is rapidly
accommodating to enable us to determine
positively the source of the cold erial
waves which sweep across our country DUR
ing the winter season. The indications are
that we owe them to the great area of high
barometer in northeastern Siberia, where
the pressure sometimes exceeds 81. so
inches, and the temperature falls as low as
rs degrees below zero. The pole of great.
est cold is in the neighborhood of Yokutsk,
on the Lena, where the average thermome-
trio reading in January is Al degrees below
zero, and where the severest cold exceeds
by 10 degrees that experienced by explo-
rers in high Arctic regions. This is also
the region of the highest barometric press
ure known in winter and from it, doubt
less, proceed the waves of intense cold
which play so large part in our winter
experience.-ISc Scientific Canadian.

STRATEGY

Was discovered, and you can imagine how
chagrined those were who had so quietly
been led captive by it. But there was no
help for these victims of misplaced con.
fdence, and so matters took their ap-
pointed course. Finally the memorable
Thursday morning arrived. This day had
been looked forward to as the color day of
the Conference. 1t will be known in his
tory by that name. The color question
was sprung just as soon as the minutes had
been read, by the presentation of report
from the Committee on Freedman's Aid,
which recommended that the Freedman 8
Aid Society should in future extend what
aid it could to the educational work being
carried on among the white people of the
South. Several speeches were made pro
and con, the most notable being that of a
colored delegate from Tennessee, who took
the ground that the white people should be
required to attend the colored colleges and
schools, and thus avoid the expense that is
incurred In educating the races separately.
This subject was still under discussion
when the time for taking up the order of
the day arrived. The majority report of
the Committee on Episcopacy being before
the body, a minority report was at once
presented. This report had thirty-two
names attached and was ably advocated by
DR.. a. Wheeler and others. The principal
speech in favor of electiDg a colored Bishop,
as recommended by the majority report Of
the Committee ON Episcopacy. was made
by DR.. James S. Smart of Michigan. To

One of the passengers last Saturday for
San Francisco, by the new and beautiful
steamer Columbia, of the Oregon Railway
and Navigation Company, was the noted
and notorious Sam Ward of the Washington
lobby, who has been dubbed its king. He
is going to revisit California, where he
lived in the Argonaut days, and is reputed
to have made much money by eccentric
pursuits, as SO many of the Argonauts did.
Sam Ward has history, aud peculiar
one, which nobody knows, and which he is
not likely to tell. But enough of ii has

it is, they think, the fashion. In them ii
is contemplate and incapable of evoking
charity even from the most charitable. A
few years since hardly reputable woman
could be seen here fondling a dog, but
now it is disgustingly common even among
woman who claim to be of the most re.

scores of such women in the Avenue or the
Park carrying poodles on their bosoms, ac.
tually kissing them, allowing them to lick
their faces, even their lips. Bah What

How delightful it must be to the men who
come after the dogs. What manly man
would be willing to be the rival, and a less
favored rival, of cur? This odious thing
seems unnatural to American women
They have borrowed it from abroad, espe
cially from the English, who make ter
riers and pugs their constant companions
night and day, and who regard it as emf
nently proper to demean themselves towart
dogs as they would not toward their owl

to dog-worship IS extremely regretable
