BRUTAL ATTEMPT TO ROB.

EDS. RECORD UNION On the evening Of
March 14th, shout 7 o'clock, while Edwin
Palmer was sitting by his freside, young
man named Constantine Papa entered his
cabin noiselessly, having removed his shoes,
and seized Palmer, who is an old man, by the
shoulder from behind, and demanded $500,
threatening to kill linn if The demands were
not complied with. A severe struggle ensued,
during which Palmer got his ankle broken.
His assaiiant then bound him hand and foot,
and, presenting pistol to his heaj, repeated
the demand for money. Palmer said he did
not have that mach in the house. Papa then
got an ak, and, bliadfoiding his victim, asked
him how he preferred to die-whether ne
would have his brains blown out or be
chopped in pieces. Palmer replied, Gas I
am in your power, you can do az you please ;
but if you kill me you will get no money ex-
cept S22, which yen will find in the pocket of
my pants in the next room." Papa refused
to take the money, sayin7 it was not enough.
Mr.. Palmer assured him he had no more. He
then released his suffering victim, and max.
ing him promise, under penalty of death, to
never tell of il, ne placed him in bed and left
this cabin. Mr.. Pslmer's home is in an IN
frequented place, and no one happening to
Pess Ny, Nv WAS NO. untl eIie evening OF Tile
10Th that he crawled down to the residence
of Mr.. Twitchel, nearly mile, where he was
kindly cared for. Mr.. Palmer has been an
esteemed and respected resident of this local
ity for % or 30 yasrs. and was supposed TO
have considerable money, but fortunately he
did not keep it in the house, or he would
doubtless have lost his life. The would-be
robber is native Of Switzerland, a young
msn about % years of age, well known here
and has heretofore borne q good character.
He is now in the hands of the officers. r.

TIE MApAakscAN Embassy.

The Malsgasy Embassy to the United
States, and Row in this country, is not
understood by very many, and good deal
of ill.timed mirth has been INDUCED in at
its expense Madagascar is an island
about the size Of the State of Texas. OF
It's imports one-third are from the United
States, and one.ffth of its exports come
TO this country. The population is about
100000. The people incline to American
habits as they advance in civilization, and
their monetary unit of value is the Amer
lean dollar. They wish to deal more
largely with the United States, and enter
tain fear of French domination. NADIA
gascar produces rice, tobacco, sugar, silk,
cotton, indigo and various spices cocoa
nuts, bread-fruit, plantains, yams, and
variety of tropical fruits. The introduce
tion of the coffee plant has been attended
with success. Cattle, sheep, pigs and
poultry are largely raised. Several rare and
rich woods grow abundantly. The domi-
nant tribe is that of the Hovas, but most
of the tribes are practically independent.
The people are of two great divisions, the
black and the olive, the latter living on the
east and the former on the west slope.
The Hovas are OF the light olive, fair.
finely formed. with straight hair and hazel
eyes. The Sakalavas are, physically, the
finest tribe in Madagascar ll. robust,
muscular, strong, with regular features,
dark eyes and black, glossy hair. They
are courageous and resoluse. friendly to
Europeans and DESTROYS of attaining TO
civilized habits, having strong mental pow
ers and being very quick to learn. Various
superstitions prevail among the tribes, of
more or less barbarous character. The
Hovas have adopted Christianity and aban-
doned most of their heather customs.
Slavery exists on the island to some ex-
tent. The people are temperate, and
drunkenness is almost unknown. TIE
Madacascans have no recorded history
among them, and it is not believed any OF
the tribes now on the island were its prim-
tive inhabitants. As early as 1912 the
French attempted to possess the island.
In l744 the Hungarians failed in an effort
to conquer the people. In 1917 the Hovas
treated with the English, and by their aid
aubdued the whole island. In 1918 the
English missionaries went in. and Chris
tianity began to spread, but in 1885, on
the death of King Radama, who was just,
humane. and loved the arts of civilization,
the schools we're closed and the mission
aries driven out Trouble with the French
and English ended in their expulsion, but
finally in re-establishment of commercial
relations with England in 1858. Through
a French conspiracy in 1857 to possess the
island, new persecution began, and 900
persons were put to death. In 1861 Ra-
DANA H.. Christian prince, came to h.
throne, who proclaimed religious tolerance
and liberty, but he was asssssinated in

BATTLE Cries WANTED.

The Eastern press is engaged in divining
what the issues of the campaign of 1884
will be. That the Democracy lie bard put
for fighting issues with which to engage its
old-tinne enemy is quite certain. It csnnot
claim to have been the only parent of civil
service reform measures it cannot claim
the sole credit for reduced taxation and
revenue reform, for the Republicans insist
that they effected reduction Of SIS. 000,-

abuses in their own ranks; have prose

up il defiance of the threats and power of
the whisky ring. After paying off $780,

Government was not greater, according to
the figures Of the New York Tribune, which
challenges their contradiction, under the
Republican, than the preceding Demo.

Put the Tribune is unwilling to believe
that any party will go into the campaign
upon SO low a plane and with SO little
powder in the box. The Tribune should
know that party better. What else has it
to fight for? Perhaps we might add that
it can promise economy /; promises are
cheap, and very largely make up campaign
ammunition. Both parties are divided as

little outside of the tariff question in the
