How They Get India Rubber in
Africa.

Having passed fully three years
on the southwest coast of Africa,
as trader for an English frm, !
will endeavor TO describe the man
ner In which India rubber is pro
cured in that country, as India
rubber formed the staple products
Of the district where ! was located.
The natives are in a very rude,
uncivilized condition. They have
no currency, and do all business
hl barteriRg the native products
for manufactured stuffs. Their
wealth consists chiefly in the num-
Der of slaves they possess, who
fish, hunt and keep their planta-
tions in good order.
When rubber has to be collected,
from four TO ten slaves get their
flint muskets In order, each carry
in, in addition, long sword-shaped
knife called a machete, a number
of calabaches or jars to collect the
Juice from the rubber vine, and a
little food that has been cured in
smoke, as they can find plenty of
substance in the bush without
carrying 1t about with them from
place to place.
The vines are in some cases near
to the towns, but generally the ma
tives have to 60 several days jour
ney into the bush before they can
sit down and commence business.
The vine itself is of a rough, knot
ty nature, about as thick as
mans arm, and grows TO a length
of fully two hundred feet. Its
leaves are glossy, like those of the
South American rubber trees, and
a large fruit, much liked by the
natives, is gathered from it. /
have tasted it, and found it very
palatable, being slightly acid.
This vine (what its scientific name
is I don't pretend to know yields
several grades of rubber, each of
different commercial value, the
best quality being taken from the
highest part, and the poorest from
the bottom.
With their knives, or machetes,
the natives slash the vines in sew
eral places, and put broad leaves
directly underneath the wounds
for the juice to drop on, and which,
being of strong, adhesive nature,
none of it gets lost. When the
top part of the vine is bled, Gala
bashes, or jars, are placed with
their openings to the wounds, so
that none of it may drop on the
branches of the tree, and so get
lost; but it is not often they
trouble themselves climbing, un-
less the vines happen to be scarce
in the vicinity. The entire day they
devote to cutting; next day they
, gather what was cut on the day
previous, and SO on. Each even
ing, after collecting, they put all
the juice they have into several
iron pots, or earthern vessels of ma
, tive manufacture, and boil it; al
the same time thev can greatly
t improve the lowest quality by ad.
5 ding a little salt, and the more
:hey boil the juice the better il
. becomes. When sufficiently boil
, ed the water is poured off and the
juice allowed to cool, when it il
fashioned according TO the grade
ball, flake, mixed or tongue-anC
is ready for the market. In thi
way about twenty or thirty pound
: a day is generally collected. 1t i

slider it most interesting work, inval-

Green e. Lombard's plantation, at Terre-
aux BOeufs, came to the Stock Landing
last Tuesday evening and surrendered
| himself to Sanitary Officer John Lusto,
who happened to be in that vicinity.
He had ridden directly from the place
where he was employed, on account of
a bloody encounter into which he had
been precipitated by two of his employ
ees, Marcel and Henry Morales, the FORM
er was shot through the back, the bull
let entering under the left shoulder
blade and coming out in the left breast.
Mr.. Whidney was conveyed to the Fifth
Precinct Station in the Third District,
where he made statement to the follow
ing effect:
On Tuesday evening, about half-past
two o'clock, the Morales brothers, with
the younger of whom he had had a tri-
vial dispute on the previous day, APP
preached him, and demanded payment
of the money due to Henry fol- the work
he had performed cutting cane. Wild
ney-who says that the brothers bear a
dangerous reputation-had armed him
self in readiness for quarrel, but he
temporarily answered that if Henry
chose to quit work of his own accord he
must suffer the usual penalties attend
ing a breach of contract; had he been
discharged of course payment would
have been granted. Henry insisted that
he considered himself discharged, and
wanted his money. Marcel then came
forward and challenged the overseer to
fight duel. Whidney declined, stating
that he saw no necessity for such and
absurd procedure. arcelstepped back,
and told Henry, who was armed with a
double barreled shotgun, to shoot
Henry levelled his gun, but as he pull
cd the trigger, Whidney caused his
horse to rear, so that the load of bird
shot lodged IN the neck and breast of
the animal in place of its rider. Wild
ney was thrown to the ground by the
frightened brute whereupon Henry
fred again at him, fortunately only two
shot taking effect in his left hand, the
body of the charge passing over his
head. Whidney, though his right hand
had been badly sprained in the fall,
sprang to bis feet and drawing pistol
fred at Henry, but without effect
Marcel, who, till then, had remain mae
tive, also produced revolver and shot
at Whidney, also unavailing, who turn
ed to face him, and having exhausted
the chambers of bis first weapon, drew
another and at the third discharge Mar
Gel fell wounded in the manner above
described. Henry escaped without in
jury, although fifteen shots had been ex-
changed between the parties. Wild
ney then caught his horse and rode off
to the city.
We are Informed that Marcels wound
is not considered necessarily fatal, and
in our next issue we expect to furnish
our readers with particular and reliable
account of the atfray, which, from hur-
ry OF publication and the remoteness of |
the locality where it happened, is at this
moment impractlcable.

had been eating It's way above and

burning books had been observed pour
ing out of the chimneys in dense volumes
long before it was supposed the building
was on fire. The records of different
offices were generally saved, but much
scattered and damaged by rain falling at
the time. Some $40 600 worth of revised
statutes, the state library, worth $40, 900,
furniture of the legislative chambers,
portraits and paintings on the walls, al
together worth $4,000. with the building
