were held in barn. Each boy before
admittance to membership had to take
the following cath:

AMERICAN MUHlHTEs.

IL seems the Alaska Indians preserve
the bodies Of their dead, but by very
different process from that used By the
ancient Egyptians. The corpse is
bundled up and put into a recess where
IL does dot decay, but is dried or desic-
Gated. Four Of these Alaskan mum.
mics have been secured, one for the
Smithsonian Institute and the other
three for the Berlin Academy. The
bodies were wonderfully preserved. A
woman, evidently over a hundred years
dead, was in n state of almost perfect
preservation. The only preparation Of
the bodies seemed to be the removal of
the visceTa. The remains were then
covered with skins and taken to caves
or rocky shelters where there was no
moisture Some Of these mummies
were supposed to be several hundred
years old. The Alaska Indians of to-
day bury their bodies like other people.
Unlike the ancient Egyptians, who en-
balmed all their dead, these Indians
made mummies only of those whom
they wished to particularly honor.

CONGO LAND.

Henry NJ. Stanley has discovered
what is literally new empire. Under
the equator in the basin of Congo, he
has found a dense population, whose
numbers he estimates at $4,000, 900.
The people are remarkably industrious,
and are born traders. He declared there
is fine opening for trade in the gums,
livery, rubber, camphor, wood and other
products Of that fertile region. Mr..
Stanley has discovered another i'm
mense lake, which he explored for a
hundred miles. He calls it the Mani
tumba- lie claims to have become the
great peace maker OF the warning na-
tions in equatorial Africa. Some day a
railroad will be constructed up the val
ley Of the Congo, connecting central
Africs with the ocean. This will, in
time, give civilization access to the Sc
eret recesses of the dark continent.

THE CHASE FOR oFFTCE

DR.. Talmage, in Frank Leslie Sunday Magazine
/ The political caIdrons begin to

shall first win the shining goal?
There is something melancholy in
the chase for Office, when we reflect
that the vast majority must come to
disappointment The same amount
of struggle in some straightforward
business would give a man surer
livelihood, easier conscience, and
higher responsibility. To be sue
cessful politician, IN our day, SO
much lying and stealing and bribery
are considered necessary, that gem
orally by the time a man has been
ten or fifteen years in politics he.has
no more principle to surrender. The
honest politicians of New York and
Brooklyn you can count in very
brief time. Men who thought them
selves invulnerable have sometimes
been shipwrecked in our election
canvass. We all ought to be vigil
ant about public affairs, and relig
iously exercise the right of suffrage;
but before man makes politics his
regular business he ought either to
have so large a fortune that the en-
oluments of Office could be no temp

A MISSING HUSBAND.
'TRIFLEs LIGHT AS AIR." &C.

AhAI LED AS A1IS, &Gs
An interesting story comes from
Rockmart, in Polk county, Ga.About
three weeks ago a young druggist
of that city named Beasley was mar
ried to very charming young lady
a Miss Whitehead Both the groom
and the bride were we'll connected
and ranked among the best people
in the village. The current Of their
existenceran smoothly for two weeks
when serious disruption occurred.
A few days ago there came to
Rockmart man who set up a skat-
ing rink which Immediately set the
young people wild, and Mrs. Bea-
sley expressed a desire to go. Her
husband objected but finally gave
his consent and she went in com
pany with a gentleman friend. Mr..
Beasley went to his store and spent
the evening. After closing for the
night he went by the skating rink
to get his wife. When he entered
the hall he saw large number of
men, but no ladies except his wife.
1t was said, however, that there
were three or four other ladies there,
but they were sitting where he could
not see them. When Beasley saw
his wife at what he took to be a
sort ofstag dance he became very
angry and turning on his heel, left
the place. His wife little suspected
how angry he was, and paid no at
tention to his conduct. She went |
home, but he was not there. He |
did not return that night and sent |
no word. Several days have gone
by, but he is still unheard from. |
The people of the town are divided
n their opinions as to what has be-
,ome of Beasley. Some think that
ne has gone into the woods and sui
,ided while others think that he
las gone West and will not return.
