discase has broken out among the horses
IN the various Indian camps in that part

camp amounts to twenty head, others
eleven. and In others fewer, and rs the
disease is found In all directions from
the agency great alarm ls felt, especial
~ by those owning large bands Of
horses, lest the disease break out among

Craftsmanship and Morality.

Many rumOrs are current as to the
precise cause of Gambetta's death.
That best authenticated is that he was
shot by woman with whom he had
lived, but whom he had refused mar
riage. He had supported her and her
child, but had tired of her and refused
to legitimatize his offspring. The man
and mistress had indulged in violent
quarrels, and in one of these, in which
he was particularly abusive, she had
shot him. The care taken to suppress
the affair proves it to be true. Nor is
this an exceptional case in France. 1t
ftly expresses the prevailing morals.
A disregard of the marriage obligation,
and open and fragrant immortality are
no hinderance to political preferment
in France. Representative men are,
according to our standard, fagrantly
immoral. Disbelief in divine truth,
and disregard of the plainest precepts
of morality are general. AS result,
the nation is demoralized. This is per-
haps as threatening a danger as the
republic in France has. 1t may seem
light thing to decry the obligations of
Christianity, but it is certain that its
code of morals is of great value to
society. The family, the Sabbath and
the rules of morality, have much to do
with the life and government of a
nation. Yet in France, the family, as
we understand it, is not maintained.
Dissipation, thus caused, has so weak
ened, not merely the moral sense, but
the physical stamina Of the French,
that they are not equal to what they
were one or more centuries ago. And
the course pursued by Gambetta was
what in the nation weakened and
demoralized it.

FLOODS IN EURoPE.-Germany and
Austria are now suffering from vista
ton similar to the one that wrought
such havoc in the Lower Mississippi
valley last Spring. 1t has been rain
ing in the valley of the Rhine for
weeks, and that river has risen to an
unprecedented height. The water has
invaded places which were supposed
to be entirely out of reach of any
possible overflow, and many of the
lower towns and villages have been
entirely inundated. Seventy houses
have been destroyed at Badenheim
and ROlostadt, Friesenheim, Rexheim
Morsch and Oppau have incurred losses
Of a more or less serious character
The floods have now extended to the
streams that flow into the Adriatic and
Black Sea. The Danube is rising al
Vienna, and serious damage to property
is apprehended.

A Valley Of Death.

A valley surprising in reality of hor-
rors the fabled region of the upas tree
has been discovered in the Island of
Java. This island is volcanic, and in
one spot the emanations from the inte-
rior of the earth are so deadly that the
place is called the Valley of Death.
AS the traveller approaches it he is
attacked with nausea and giddiness.
He also notices a suffocating smell.
AS he advances these symptoms disap-
pear, so that, after passing through the
belt of fetid air which guards the
valley, the visitor is able to examine
with less risk the spectacle before him.
A recent traveller describes the valley
as being an oval about one mile in
circumference, and about thirty to
forty feet below the level of the sur
rounding land. The floor of the valley
is fiat, dry, without any vegetation,
and scattered all over it are the skele-
tons of men, tigers, wild boars, birds
and stays, lying among large blocks of
stone. No stream or smoke is to be
seen, nor any crevice apparent in the
earth, which appears to be as hard as
rock. The hills which hem in this
valley of desolation are clothed from
base to summit with healthy trees and
bushes. The traveller whom we have
quoted descended the side of one hill,
with the aid of a bamboo stick, to
about eighteen feet from the bottom,
and he compelled a dog to go down to
the plain. In five seconds the animal
fell on its side motionless, although it
continued to breathe for eighteen
minutes. Another dog died in ten
minutes; fowl only resisted the
deadly air for a minute and a-half, and
was dead before he reached the bottom.
1t is believed that the human skeletons
are those of malefactors who have
sought refuge here, ignorant of the
fatal influence of the air they came to
breathe. The neighboring mountains
are volcanic, but they neither emit
sulphurous odors, nor do they present
any indication of recent eruption.
