The King OF Burmah.


King Theebaw, of Burmah, has been hav-
ing run of bad luck. He has killed Off
all his brothers save those who have fled into
India, one of whom will return as king when
ever he has killed himself off by his inordi-
nate consumption of Holland gin, or has
been slaughtered by some Burman Harmon
dius. Theebaws son would, however, inherit
the crown, ii he only had a son, and his dis
gust was so great year ago when his queen
had the bad taste to give birth to daughter
that he promptly took some more wives unto
himself The queen, however, gained her
ascendency, and had one of the hated
rivals butchered and the others
discarded, and then rewarded her
husband for his consistency by presenting him
with another daughter. At the latest advices
the only thing that was at all certain was
that somebody would be killed, but who the
victim was TO be was a matter yet to be de-
cided- possibly by such omens as the flight of
| sky blue sea serpents and scarlet rats athwart
| the gin laden atmosphere of the royal mind.
King Theebaw's lamented father thought he
had solved the problem of the succession by
| leaving matter of eighty sons--a state of
| things which, however, seems to have involved
the survival of the unfttest; but it will al
ways be Of some satisfaction to the present
monarch to reflect that if his queens bring
forth female children only, his successor and
the royal executioner will be spared good
| deal of trouble.

A NYnrtierSnI Giant.

A giant is puzzling the celebrities of the
medical profession in Paris. The man, who is
now 49, years of age had nothing at all the
matter with him when at the age of II he
seemed to have finished growing at the re-
spectacle, but no extraordinary, height of six
feet five inches. On the seventeenth of May,
1881, he measured himself and found that he
was good inch taller than he had been Il few
weeks before. His curiosity being naturally
aroused he continued to take regular meas
urcmcnts every week, and found that his
growing powers had actually made flesh
start. By the beginning of the following Sep
tember he had gained about three inches
more At the same time he experienced
peculiar aching pains in his bones, but
the rate at which his stature increased
seemed to develop itself more and more
| rapidly, so that in the beginning of the pres
ent year he had gained four inches more and
stood over seven feet without his boots. An
other quarter of year found him full five
inches taller and without any signs of nature
having exhausted her energies. Only in June
last did the growth of his body cease, and
since that time his legs have still been grow
ing longer and thinner, till he has now reached
the heighth, or rather the length-for he can
no longer stand upright-of seven feet ten
| inches. His feet are described as each about
| twenty inches long; but he has no use for
them, as his feebleness is too great for any
exercise whatever. He also shows symptoms
of consumption, and the doctors do not sup
pose that he can live long. In fact, it may be
said of him with more emphasis than, per-
haps, in any recorded case, that he has - out
grown himself" though why he should have
done so is a mystery which all the doctors OF
the Sorbonne have not yet been able to ex-
| plain.

There are probably 10000 more colored
voters in South Carolina than white voters.
In two-thirds of the counties, we judge, there
is colored majority. On the color line,
which happily is, not as broad and sharp as
formerly, the republicans can command d
powerful vote, and the whole of this vote, or
ganized by race, color, and deep dyed preju-
dice, they offer to any opponents of the de-
mocracy who will consent TO receive it. They
expect to find among democratic malcontents,
whether styled independents or greenbackers,

Civilized IndiOns Gin an Ugly Mood"

ST.. LOUIS, Dec. ?s.-The latest dispatch
from the Indian territory says: The Chicota
party in the fight on Sunday last had seven
men killed, and it is thought that the
Spiochco by,d lost as many more. Spiochee
and his party have gone into the Cherokee
nation, but he is expected to return again and
keep up the disturbance. Rc-eniOrcements
are fastening to Okmulkce to protect the
capital. Capt. Bates with a detachments of
United States troops is also there, and soldiers
have been ordered to Eufaula, where there is
" great deal of excitement, many of the
women and children having been sent away
for safety. The troubles grew out of the old
political division of the tribe into what is
known as loyal and disloyal parties during
the war. Spiochee is now at the head of the
loyal party, or what has been known as the
Sands faction and ChicOta is the principal
chief of the nation, and, OF course, at the
head of the party in power. He has some 500
armed men under him, and SpiOchee is said to
be nearly AS strongly supported. Both par
ties are armed with all sorts of weapons, and
seem to be in an ugly mood but it is thought
that the United States soldiers and Maj
Tufts, the United States agent, will succeed
in quicting them and restoring order.
