sacrificed at the shrine of the goddess. The
similarity in this point TO a well-known
Aztec practice is striking. When some
calamity came upon the tribe, the priest,
interpreting the will Of the goddess, called
for the death Of the victim, which, however,
was not contaminated for three dsys-days
of misery to the victim and OF rejoicing TO
the whole tribe. The first day was taken
up with prayers and ieasting; on the second
the victim, clad in new white garments and
crowned with flowers, was conducted 10 a
small and sacred grove reserved Tor such
purposes. Here he was bound TO = stake,
and the crowd came with offerings OF flowers
oil snd saffron. During the night the man
ner OF the sacrifice was decided on by the
priests. On the third day the He7-id was
taken TO the place Of death, where, after
the priest had made an incisiOn in his
breast with a knife, the crowd at
once hurled themselves on the wretC he'd
being and tore him to pieces to the
sound OF internal music and barbarOus
wells. All being over, each took his own
way, carrying with him piece Of iiesh As an
Offering to his household god. In some dis
tricts it was customary to I'LL trench with
the blood OF a newly-kiIied hog. In this the
mes-ia was first stihed, and then the dis
memberment took place. That the number
OF victims thus slaughtered was considerable
! Is plainly shown by the TACT that on one oc-

THE KHONDS,
whose Slaughter Of 400 victims Has
Already Been Given 10 the PnbIie.
New York World.

New j OK word.
The news which reaches us by cable to-day
of the hideOus atrocities committed by the
Khonds in the town of Bhownapatna, in H.
dia, where over 400 victims have been
slaughtered, is probably not exaggerated.
Its accuracy, unfortunately, is Voucbed for
by the ghastly detail that parts OF the flesh
OF the victims have been distributed among
such Khonds as had not Joined in the affair,
this being a signal for them TO rise and Join
in the revolt. From time immemorial hum an
sacrifices have been part of the customs and
religion OF this strange people, which present
many analogIes with the most repulsfye fea-
lures Of the old Aztec system in Mexico.
The Khonds seem 10 have been planted in
India long before the conquest Of the eoun-
try by the Hindoos and still occupy a con-
siderable territory near the northwest shores
of the Gulf Of Bengal. They wear a single
garment reaching to the knees and a red
cloth wound about the head, and are armed
with knives and jaVelins, like the savage
Gauls and Germans before the Roman era
The origin Of human sacrifices among the
Khonds Ia completely lost, but the object oil
these sacrifices was 10 gain the good graces oil
their goddess, "The Earth" whom they Mor
ship as the Germans did Hertba. Whenevel
the tribe was seourged by an epidemic
plagued by tigers, or overwhelmed with
Hood, human sacrifices were at once made d

The Home Of MieheIet.

Last summer we spent some time in the
neighborhood of Vasceuil, and often wan
dered in its direction. Our way lay through
a woodland path, at whose base the Creyon
hOws. sparkling and swift, across fat mead
owe, where cattle and man alike doze, by a
curious "~>ar-mill, through which the stream
comes pouring III S-ast cascades, and through
an ancient farm-yard and magnificent ave-

sight of the tower and roof of Nascoeuil, with
its sylvan background stretching across the
whole mouth of the valley. Arrived at its
great gates we pass through a side door into
a cool, old-fashioned garden, and there
among the laden fruit-trees, the red grays
of the terrace and the UNCOVERED walls
for a background, great patches OF blue
phlox and red fuchsia for mid-distance,
and the tall grass with its peoples for fore
ground, we see a figure clad du pdySan-blue
cotton clothes, sabots and great broad
brimmed hat. 1t is the chatelain himself,
and with the serious grace OF Bernard Pals
sy and a companion OF the admiral, he well
comes US to the scene of his great horticul-
tural achievements. His eyes beam with
eeptlepess, love, humor on the children who
accompany us, and they are all happy as
with one they wholly trust. How cool, after
our hot walk, is this great dining with
it's roof almost lost in obscurity! How
charming this interior, with its enormous
chimpey-piece and its smoke dried walls
Ascending a winding staircase we are IN an
octagon room, at the top of the tower, from
whose windows we look out on all polhts oi
the compass. How vast and how sweet the
scene! We should not be surprised to learn
that it was here Michelet conceived the idea
of writing his book, EOtsedu.

6rie-a-brae fashion which now reigns, the

visible. The divinity enshrined in the biiou
mansion wants to affirm that she Is

Personal taste Is often shown in eccen-

sedan char. 1t contains a wax figure of a

a stuffed ape upon her knees. Apes, toward

How Gladstone Looks.

London Correspondence Boston Herald.
Mr.. Gladstone is one of the cleveresi,
readiest takers i have ever heard. He sits
in the front row of the members pews, on
the left hand side, facing the Speaker, close
by the end of the table, which stands in
front of the white-wigged clerks. Perhaps
/ should have said he reclined there, for he
doesn't exactly sit His head is thrown
back, and rests upon the upper edge Of the
pew-back, his hands are clasped in his lap,
his legs are sprawled out in front,
and he has the general appearance OF a man
sound asleep, but he isn't. Now and then
the eyelids half open, and shade of ex-
preston crosses the wrink led features as the
old man mentally makes Il note for future
use. When his opponent has ceased speak
ing Mr.. Gladstone comes TO his feet with
surprising agility, and advances a step or
two to the end of the table. There il a lit
tie red box here containing his documents,
and he places the end OF his right hand fin
gers upon this box. He lifts his chin
rather above its normal hight, like
a man used to talking in a gallery, and, as
the words flow freely from between
his lips, he emphasizes them by prod
ding the box with the tips OF his straight
ened fingers. As Mr.. Gladstone talks, he
grows. In silence and repose you see thin
and shriyeled old man, with long, slender
Iegs, swollen joints, hooked nose, sunken
eyes, a HDdThcI1
through the temples, hut broad and high
over the ears, struggling white whiskers,
which shSmble down the sides of his face
and under his throat, and general air OF
physical decay that is not altogether reas-
surfing. But az his chin goes up and his
chest protrudes, and the words begin TO roll
out with rapidly and resonance, as the eyes
kindle and the smile OF conscious power
spreads over the old face, you begin to feel
the reason of the premier grip upon the
politics Of Great Britain. He has the per-
feet confidence OF the practical speaker, and
that eloquence OF manner no less than Of
words which proclaims the orator. He is
by all means the most admirable talker /
have heard in England. lie uses no notes,
and as soon az he has finished what he has
to say he slouohes back upon his seat, APP
parently in that state OF complete physical
collapse which Charles Dickens ascribes TO
the old paraIytie who is always throwing his
pillow at some one and Immediately falling
