Untold Millions of Human Beings In the
Interior of africa,


Although we have not, nor are we likely to
have for years, any accurate statistics of the
population of the interior of Africa, there is
very little doubt that we have greatly under
rated it. Much important information has
lately been gathered on the subject, especially
concerning the distribution and density of the
Inhabitants of that far off land. In the great
lake district, for instance there are territories
as thickly settled as many European states,
relatively small areas possessing millions of
people. The negro regions are by far the most
p0pulous, while the desert portions are the re-
verse. A French geographical society gives the
estimated figures of various subdivisions of
that continent as follows: In the Soudan the
population is $4,000, 600, or about So persons per
square mile. The town of Bida, on the Nj
ger, for example, contains fully 80, 900 inhahit-
ants East Africa is rated at 80, ZOO, 600, and
equatorial Africa at some 100000 souls A
late authority on ethnology sets down the ne
groes as numerically 130,000000; the Hamites
10000; the Bantas, 13,O0O,OOO the Foolah,
8,000 900; the Nubians, 800, 900; the Hotten-
tots, 500,OO0-makiug total of 172, $50, 600.
These fgures-only approximate, of course
are considered too low both by German and
British geographers, the former estimating the
population as high as 100000, 600. Much hope
has been repeatedly expressed of the future of
Africa. which is rich in mineral products, and
capable OF maintaining prosperous COM
merce with outer parts of the globe.
Along the coasts and caravan roads the chief
trade has been and continues to be, in slaves.
1t is thought that recent effort will
yet do much toward abating the odious traffic,
as the natives are capable of something better.
Many of the tribes are above the condition of
savages. They have fixed habitations, though
merely mud huts defended by stockades, and
have some laws or customs favorable to COM
merce. Among several tribes the native mer-
chant is greatly esteemed. and his property is
safe even during war. The land is cultivated,
the inhabitants wear dyed cotton clothes; gold
and iron are ingeniously map ufactured, and
certain kind of intelligence seems to be slowly
spreading. What Africa most needs is tree
commercial intercourse with the outer world,
and that must arrive. Who knows but that,
in the coming cycles. the highest civilization
may be found where the first civilization arose.

much to be feared that the ladies-God bless

little likelihood that either of the organiza-
tons at present in existence will make any
such declaration as is asked of them.

From the London Times, May II.
On removing the last portions of the fallen
vaulting from within the tomb recently dis
covered on the bank of the Tiber two other Gin
erary urns have been found, making eight in
all. One of these is of travertine egg-shapsd,
rudely worked and without any inscription.
The other, of marble, forty-fve oentimetres in
height by thiriy-four in width, is beautifully
sculptured, somewh hat in the form of 8 small
temple. At the corners are delicate spiral
huted colonuettes, with OOrinthisn capitsls
and bases, the lid above forming the pediment,
on the front of which two birds sIe sculptured.
On the upper part of tire front of the urn, be.
tween the colonnettes, is panel bearing the
words, ''OSSA'A' CRI5PINl OAEPiONlS." and
below it an elegantly formed tripod in full
relief, with griffin standing upon a pedestal
on each side. Upon the sides of the
urn are sculptured two twiued dolphins. At
the same time the right hand half of another
large inscription, evidently belonging to the
exterior of the tomb, was found. 1t reads
as follows:
"R'STLIVDTR.MILQ 'TK'PL'PR
ARIS'AVGYSTIEr
ESARIS' AVGVSTII
NA'CAEPIONIS F'XVOR

The continuation of the excavations along
the Via Sacra has disclosed in stu one of the
pedestals and the foundation of the other on
which stood the two columns fronting the left
wing of the Templs of Romulus, son of
Maxentius, and corresponding exactly to those
of the right wing from around which the re-
moval of the accumulation was completed on
the Doth of April The workmen are now
engaged in taking down the ancient doorway
from the spot to which it was raised and
placed askant by Urban VIII. in order to re-
erect in its original position on the level of
the Via Sacra.

On A,,e,tstna Mfstake.

An amusing scene recently Occurredin an ex-
press train between Lyons and Marseilles. In
one compartment of first class carriage were
two foreigners, nj. Azanco, Spaniard, and NJ.
Bloch, a German Swiss, neither of whom could
speak French or the language of the other, but
both, or at least M. Bloch, had heard of the
recent murder in a railway carriage on the same
line. The Swiss had a handsome cane, which
the other admired; wishing to ascertain wheth-
er it was q sword-sticl, and not being able to
make himself understood, he made the gesture
of man drawing weapon and braudishing it.
n. Bloch, who still had the recollection of the
railroad horror on his mind, at once supposed
that his travelling companion was murderer
and thought that his last hour
had come. In the hope of
propitiating his executioner he
took out, in fear and trembling, his pocket
book portemonie and watch, and offered them
for his life to be spared The Spaniard saw
the mistake, and his pantomine and uninte-
ligible language, intended to reassure M.
Bloch, only terrified him the more. The latter
suddenly noticed that the carriage was provid-
ed with an alarm signal sounded it, and the
train stopped near the Feyzin station. The
guard came forward with number of passen-
gers, who also thought another crime had been
committed. The explanations given by the
two passengers not being clear, and appearin z
likely to cause long delay the guard got il to
the compartment with them and accompanied
them to the Vienna station, where he took
them before the station master, and the mys-
terry was cleared up. The train resumed the
journey, but NJ. Bloch, whose terrors were not
entirely dissipated, refused to travel with bis
former companion, and got into another car

A Curious Perjury Case.
From the Chicago Times.

The jury in the case of Mark Fee, indicted for
perjury, returned virdict of guilty on yester-
day morning, fixing the punishment at nine
years in the penitentiary. The case is one of
more than ordinary interest, and the facts in it
briefly stated, are that Fee was formerly en-
ployed by Rand, McNally & Co., who have con-
tracts for printing tickets for large number of
railroad companies. At the same time there
was employed by the firm Waterman named
William Shepard. The former was discharged
and then OBTAINED employment from the
Chicago and Alton and the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road companies as de-
tective, and in the discharge of his duties went
on a trip through the West, At Kansas City he
procured an affidavit from one Moore, con-
vict, inculpating Shepard and connecting him
with the stealing of a large number of the
tickets then flooding the West, and which had
been taken from the printers referred to.
Armed with this affidavit he returned to Chi
cago and informed A. S. Trude, representing
the roads referred to in their criminal cases.
that he had found the thief, and that if war.
rant was issued he would go with the officer
and point him out.
Thereupon Fee swore out warrant and ac-
compalied an officer, who arrested Shepard,
upon whose person was found an envelope with
green wax seal, containing railroad ticket.
The prisoner was brought before the Justice,
and his hearing commenced. Fee swore trong-
ly against the prisoner, while Shepard claimed
that Fee gave him the letter to hand TO q
young man named Archie, in the employ
of Rand, McNally & Co., and that he was
the victim of the fraud and intrigue of Fee.
Trude, impressed with the latter's state
ment, and discovering that the wax on the let
ter was impressed with an old coin, caused the
issuance of search warrant, directed against
the premises of Fee, to which place Officer Nc
Cue repaired and found the identical coin he
was in search of, in the mouth of one Nellie
Mcpherson, travelling companion of Fee and
co-occupant of his premises.
At the direction of Judge Beckwith, who is
advisor-in-chief in all matters of this kind. Mr..
Trude caused the arrest of Fee for perjury and,
with the States attorney, prosecuted him
with the result stated. The ownership of
the coin on the part of Fee was established on
the trial, and this was the damaging evidence
against him, being as effective in procuring his
conviction as it was certain in causing his ar
rest. Judge Beckwith and the Alton people
have been making things lively for the crooked
fraternity of late, and if the present vigorous
policy is persisted in, the road is likely to be-
come very unpopular with that large and in
creasing class of people who make their living
by helping themselves to other peoples prop
erty without permission.

Must wander whore the South winds softly

In sweet Southland the roses wear tear;
Tho purple grape droys for the failow deer,
Beneath the pines tho crushed vanillas tell
Where spotted fawn doth grace the dcwy

And here the cypress, with his grass green

Sinks to his bare brown knees, in bog and

Half sad, half glad,

And sad
Or glad,

Must murmur where the sweet South breezes

Never Cast Shadows, Children.

Memory carries me back to the days of
my childhood, when, without one thought
of to morrow, could trip along life's
pathway in happiness. "Tho memory bells
of those by-gonc days." even now, strike
q golden chord, and my heart beats in unison
with their music.
The recollection of one particular passage
in my childhood ever fingers in my heart
1t was this: In 1857 my father moved his
family to a beautiful village, hoping it would
prove healthful location.
Happy days were passed there until my
eldest brother was stricken down by the
hand OF disease; few days of pain and
suffering, and he left US for heaven. The
second Sunday utter we laid him to rest we
were oil gathered in my mothers room,
while my father read, "The shadows We
cast" | was standing near my mother and
he had just finished reading this sentence:
| "a word, look, n tone, an act, will cast
shadow and saddcn spirit for hours and
days. Speak kindly, DO forgctters of self
and mindful Of others, and you will cast
but few shadows along tho paths of life"
My mother stretched out her arms and
drow me to her breast, saying, "My son,
you will mover cast shadow acrosp thy
mothers hearth" Shall those words over
be forgotten? No, never. They shall be
a chord connecting the wearsomo days of
manhood with the past, but never forgotten,
time of happy childhood.
And in after years when separated from
each other, received letter which said:
"Eight years to day, my dear son, your
little heart was wrung with anguish at my
grief, (this was the anniversary of my
younger brothers. death,) and you it was
who tried to comfort mo in sorrow and
affliction. You were always good boy,
and even the thought of anything giving
mo pain was always source of anguish to
you. God bless and keep you, my deor
SON."
When gray hairs shall have warned mo
that age is creeping over my now young
and active frame tlA2e words shall ever
make music in my hga.
Aud when deatbs$s$il fold his 10y mantle
around me, the tho}S,ht Of her who utterc 4
them, shall make the cold heart warm until
tho "goldcn chord is snapped" and We meet
in heaven.
Children, always act towards your parents
with love and respect, und never do anything
which you oan avoid that wculd give them
pain, and after years arc passed, and per-
| haps your mothers or fathers voice is heard
no moro, and their tender smilo of love is
gone, you can look back nnd say, I tried to
requite their love und care by my obedience
and tenderness
