Besides the representatives of the different
German States, the Hungarian in his pict-
ural dress, the Polish Jew, the Bohemian,
the Russian, the Swede, the Italian, the
Frenchman. the Englishman, the Ameri-
can, the Turk and the Persian jostle one
another in the streets. Among them all
the sons of Isarael, with their clearly de-
fined typical features, are the most con-
spicuous. At such times the town resem-
bles a perfect Babel with regard to the
number of languages spoken. In history
Leipsic is known for the great battle
against Napoleon l., which the latter lost !;
a monument commemorative of that event
has been erected in the Marienstrasse.
There are some fine hotels in Leipsic, and
the prices charged remind one that he is
approaching the north +; for rates of living
are considerably higher in the north than
in the south. Speaking of hotels a few
words must be said about these generally
to be found in Germany.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 1.-Two ballots were taken
in the joint convention to-day. Mr.. Window
received 65 votes on the fret and 81 on the
second-a dead loss from yesterday. 1t is
believed his chances are much deprecated.
A caucus of his friends is called for this
evening. There are sixteen candidates, and
it is impossible to name the coming man.
Fifty three Republican members of the
Legislature attended the Window caucus to-
night 1t is said 47 voted for resolution to
continue to vote for him. He has lost four
or five votes in every ballot SO far until now
he is fifteen votes short of majority.
The resolution of the caucus, however
promises a prolonged contest Gordon E.
Cole is being talked of as prominent can
didate. but the anti-Windom men may try
to concentrate on Governor Hubbard.

MURDERS IN MADAGASCAR.


Details of tho Killing of Two Citizens of
Boston by Natives.
BosToN, Jan. 1.-THE London Daily News
of Jan. 4, which has just been received here,
contains the following:
Several weeks ago we stated that two MUIR
ders of white persons had taken place on that
part of the coast of Madagascar where the
French government had refused to permit
the Maagasy authorities to land troops in
support of their authority. We have now
received from correspondent the following
details dated Southwest Coast, Madagascar,
Sept 49, 1882:
''AIessrs. Emerson and Hulett Americans
of Boston, U. S. A, who came via Natal ar
rived at Morondava some months since, and,
after travelling in the interior, from there
came south TO Nos Vey, where they procured
the services of NJ. T. Parent, French native
of Bourbon, who had been IN Madagas-
car about seventeen years, and was we'll
acquainted with the language, to act as guide
and interpreter. They left Tullear on the
9th inst, with the intention of proceeding
to the Antanos country. On the following
day, about noon, they arrived at a watering
place, where they rested for some time.
They here met with Il number of Bara and
Mahafaly people. who had few cattle, and
were apparently on the way to the beach to
sell the cattle at ST. Augustine's. They APP
peared quite friendly, and nothing hostile
the journey they proceeded about half a
mile, and were near some tamarind trees and
bush, when, without the slightest warning,
shots were fired and Mr.. Emerson, who was
slightly in advance fell shot in the breast
and died Immediately. After this out rushed
about forty or fifty men 1.-THE same they had
seen at the watering place. with spears and
attacked the Others. The bearers, eight or
nine Antanos men carrying luggage, threw
down their packages and fled 10 the b, sh,
one African named Silicarike getting killed
with spears.
''Mr. Hulott, who happened to be little
way behind, went to an Antanos (CravatJ
who was carrying his revolver, but he was
afraid to give it to Mr. Huett, and advised
him to run or he would certainly be killed,
as they were now alone and while altercat-
ing party of the natives came on them, so
they turned and ran, the natives throwing
spears and Mr.. Hulett and the Antanos were
both wounded iii the legs. After getting
some distance the Antanos dropped the re-
. volver, which Mr.. Hulett recovered, and,
although much exhausted, turned upon his
pursuers, who thereupon went into the bush
and returned to the main body. Mr. Huiett,
seeing that his feeble resistance would be of
no avail, went off into the bush with the An
tanos, and they hid themselves till midnight,
when they went back to village they had
passed before OH the journey up, and hired
some people to carry them to Tullear, where
they arrived on Monday evening, the 11th
inst, and where they now are, both very ill
in consequence of their wounds A friend
of the Americans hired about twenty men,
with whom he proceeded to the scene of the
murders, and found and recognized the
dead bodies of MesSrs. Emerson and Parent
and the African, mutilated with spear
wounds"

The Madonna in the Flames.
Milwaukee Sentinel.

A small enameled copy of Raphael's we'll
known picture of the Madonna della Segglola
at Florence, the companion picture of the
beautiful Madonna del Candelabri, now on
exhibition in the loan collection of the Met
ropoltan Museum in New York city, in an
ornamental frame, was found by Captain
OConnor and brought to the Central Station.
1t was ascertained that it belonged to Mrs.
VIM. e. Cramer, the wife of the editor of the
Evening Wisconsin. 1t was covered with
dirt and cinders and the iron frame in which
it was held was melted and run together
The dirt was wiped away from the picture,
and there, pure and spotless was the virgin
face. The pleading eyes of the Virgin with
the peacefully folded arms and sanity attire,
were there untouched aud unsullied by the
destroying flames. 1t was found near the
body OF Miss Chellis, who. it will be remem-

MRS. LANGTRY's LIFE.


She Tells Her Own Story in Her Own Way,
Modestly and as a Lady.
To the Editor of the Globe Democrat.
THE SOUTHERN" Jan. 16, 1888.
Dear Sir-You desire few details of my
early lie, as much has been published of an
erroneous nature concerning it. I was born
IN The lsle-not the State-of Jersey, twenty
eight years ago. My father was dean OF the
Island, and senior dean of the United King
dom; My grandfather and great grandfather
also belonged to the clergy-all were digni-
taries of the church. My mother was a
SSG,otchwoman. 1 had six brothers, and
all but one were older than 1.
a most retired life, sharing NV
brothers pursuits and receiving the same
education, until l reached my twentieth
year. Then married Mr.. Edward Langtry,
and passed six months honeymoon on
a yacht. Two years subsequently l went to
London-ehietly to seek the advice OF a ply
slclan, as had just recovered from severe
attack OF typhoid fever, and / dreaded its
consequences. My entrance into London
social life dates from party at Lady Sc
brights. Thenceforward / was invited ev-
erywnere and treated with the greatest kind
ness and consideration. During three sea-
sons figured necessarily in London society,"
Meanwhile, the great expense connected with
social pleasures, and the Irish troubles-my
husband being an Irish landowner
and largely dependent for his income
upon his property in Ireland-exhausted
our means. 1t became necessary for
me to earn alvelihood. l had strong incli-
nation for the stage, and my husband sane
toned it. My family in Jersey was shrunken;
four OF my brothers had died-my favorite
brother was killed by fall in the hunting
feld-so the prospect of absence from Eng
land was less distressing than it might have
been: Mr.. Langtry strove and is striving TO
do his share toward restoring our fortunes,
and regrets, as much as I do, that he is un-
able on that account, to accompany me to
America. That is my whole story. Since 1
arrived here my lite has been public one;
| have had nothing TO conceal and have moth
ing to excuse, content in the belief that false
hood and nalignity will in the end defeat
themselves without effort on my part
Yours truly, LILY LANarRY.

SECRETARY HAWKS FAREWELL
A Testimonial from the Newspaper Re-
porters with Whom He Has Been
Associated.

Dr. e. r Hawn's term of OH CO as Secretary Of
State expired yesterday, and Secretaryeleot
Myers entered upon his duties. The change
wss made without any eeremo.
MES. At 10 o'clock DIR. Hawn
walked into the office, and In his, characteristic
good-humor remarked: "Mr. Myers, the cares OF
State are now upon you. Here your keys,
and now all want is a receipt" With this the
old out and the new in. "I don't like to see
tho old man CO." common remark with
visitors at the State building, but one pr0mi.
nent Democrat of the State said: az would have
no objections to my friend Myers
waiting two years longer before taking his
office" However, none will miss DR.. Hawn
more than the reporters who have been brought
into daily association with him. Upon meeting
informally in theof1ce of the Secretary yesterday
afternoon, the following testimonial was ad-
dressed to HIM, and was presented with appro-
pirate remarks IN behalf of the members of the
press by Fl. U. Brown, of the News:
"Hon. E. R. Hawn.
"sir-The period of our professional and social
intercourse with you has been exceptionally
pleasant and agreeable. 1t is with our sincerest
regrets that these relations brought to an
end by your retiring from office Secretary
of State, Throughout we have found you indis-
criminately courteous, and, as the representa-
tives of the press or the city in gathering the
news of the State departments, We heartily unite
III expressing orr appreciation of your obliging
character. our admiration of your honorable off

1t Is well near impossible for a public offica;
to avoid, to some extent, a tendency to fayOrit-
ism toward certain reporters in giving out news,
and with the rivalry which exists between the
representatives OF the press, they are not slow
to discover the slightest discrimination. IL was
one of DR.. Hawn's infiexibie principles not 10
permit what, in the idioin OF the press, Ia known
SCOOP" upon the most insignifi-
cant item of news in his depart
ment. At all times courteous and obliging,
he was the friend of every newspaper man, and
the friendship was mutual Gaod-natured, ready
In cor versation, and with an inexhaustible fund
of anecdote, he has been their social nucleus, and
his Office has been their rendezvous. There are
few persons upon whom rival newspaper
porters, with their knowledge OF men, can or
would unite in suoh an expression as the above.
DR.. Hawn is one OF the very few. He was quite
overcome by the unexpected testimonial, and
feelingly responded in few words.
