A BURMESE MAssACRE-A horrible mas
sacre has occurred in Mandalay. The guards
placed in charge Of the principal prisons,
which are constructed of bamboo, set fire to
one of the sides ofthe edifce, and having
assured themselves that the flames were al
ready beginning to invade the parts which
served as shelter to the wretched prisoners,
opened the gates, in front of which there
had been drawn up a good number of SOL
ders armed with guns and swords. Then
they threw themselves like wild beasts upon
those who, to escape being burned alive,
rushed out Of the gates. The massacre last
ed all the night, in the presence ofthe high
est tuuctionaries ofthe town, who, with cries
and gesUiculatious, excited the assassins
against their passive victims. The number
of killed exceeded two hundred, and among
them were some relations of Prince Yung
Tan, who is at present living at Calcutta.
The day after the massacre the bodies, mu-
tiated in a manner too horrible to describe,
were lying heaped about on carts and IN the
streets of the town. For some months past
the prisons there and elsewhere had been
crowded with brisands and political prison
ers. A revolt was feared, and the Governor
could find no better expedient to avoid it
than 10 give proof of his determined fsroc-
ity by ordering the massacre ofall prison
ers without distinction Of sex, age, or the
cause ofimprisonment.

Siddons, porter; Edmund Kean's, beef
tea, cold brandy; W. L. Gladstone's, an egg
beaten up in sherry; Miss Catley's, linseed
tea aud Madeira Disrael was fond oi
champagne jelly. Schiller used to sit over
table deeply impregnated with the smell
Of decaying apples. He stimulated his
brain with coffee and champagne. Lord
Erskine and John Kemble used opium:
Wedderburne, the first Lord Ashburton, used
10 place blister on his chest when he had
to make great speech.

CAPTURING OsTRICHEs.-The great feat
of an Arab hunter is to capture an ostrich.
Being very shy and cautions, and living on
the sandy plaina, where there is little
chance to take it by surprise, it can be cap
tured only by well planned and long con-
tinued pursuit on the swiftest horse. Inc
ostrich has two curious habits in running
whom alarmed 1t always starts with out
spread wings against the wind, so that it
can scent the approach of an enemy. Its
sense OF smell is so keen that it can detect
a person q great distance long before he
can lie seen. The other curious habit IS
that of running in g circle. Usually
five or six ostriches are found in
company. When discovered, part of
the hunters, mounted on fleet horses
will pursue the birds, while the
other hunters will sallop away at right
angles 10 the course the ostriches have
taken. When these hunters think they
have gone far enough to cross the path the
birds will be likely to take, they watch
upon some rise Of ground for their approach.
Ii the hunters hit the right place and see
tie osrches, they at once start in pursuit
with fresh horses, and sometimes they over
take one or two of the birds; but often one
or two of the fleet horses fall, completely
tired out with SO sharp chase.

THE Hot WATER CURE.-The hot water
cure is becoming general and even the doc,
tors have got to prescribing it. Mr.. Daniel,
one of the uptown merchants, claims that
he has 5000 disciples now drinking hot wa
ter before breakfast. When first drunk the
hot water seems to nauseate q little. In a
few days it becomes agreeable, and alter a
week is missed in the morning. The advo
Gates of hot water before break fast denounce
cold water at any time of the day, and are
evidently bent on breaking up the Ice com
pauies. The English who come to this
country are of the opinion that ice water is
a potent cause of Brig disease of the kid
neys.-NeW York Tribune.

Wives for Sale Cheap.

In some parts of England men who get
tired of their wives sell them as low as six
pence apiece. Sometimes wife is traded
off for q quart of beer. Both husbands and
wives in such cases are very disagreeable
persons. Possibly they are the victims OF
dyspepsia and liver complaint. and their
health is badly run down. Such people
may not be worth doctoring, but nice peo-
BILE who are run down BY these ailments,
should try Browns Iron Bitters, which will
bring them right up.

Still Fighting About the Tariff.

The tariff fight which split up the
Democrats in the House last winter is
still going on. Some of the Demo
cratic leaders do not hesitate to avow
their dissatisfaction at the way things
are going. They claim that the old
leaders and old principles are being
thrown oyer. and they can't tell what
issues the campaign is being made
upon. Representatives and Sena'
tors who spoke with reference to the
tariff last winter, with a view of
making good campaign literature for
the coming struggle, are grumbling
because their speeches are not being
sent out by the campaign committee.
Letters of inquiry upon the subject
are said to be pouring in upon the
committee every day, and urgent de-
mands that something be done are
being made. Many members are go.
ing in person to the managers in
New York and demanding to know
why these speeches are not being
sent out. The revenue reformers
are endeavOring to make Cleveland
pronounce himself on the tariff, but
the managers cry out against this,
and refuse it is said, to send out a
single tariff document.-Siar.

To all Wanting Employment.

We want live. Energetic and Cap
able Agents in every county in the

sale, paying over 100 per cent. profit,
having no competition, and on which
the agent is protected in the exclu-
sive sale hy deed given for each and
every county he may secure from US.
With all these advantages to our
agents, and the fact that it is an ar
ticle that can be sold to every house
owner, it might not be necessary to
make an EXTRAORDINARY OFFER"
to secure good agents at once. but we
IN e concluded to make it to show,
not only our confidence in the merits
of our invention, but in its stability
by any agent that will handle it with
energy. Our agents now at work are
making from $3.50 to $500 a month
clear. and this fact makes it safe for
us to make our offer to all who are
out Of employment. Any agent that
will give our business a thirty days

Any agent or General Agent who

more than double the amount we
guaranteed, and hut two sales a day
