For Love of a Zanzibar Maid.

In April last the cable announced
had hauled down his flag and was
about to depart in high dudgeon. Fol-
several days there was great tempest
in a teapot, and then things quoted
down and gave lookers-on chance to
find out what the rumpus was all about.
Ii was learned that the strained rela.
tons between the two governments had
grown out of the love affairs of Lieut..
Dale, the of "a Pur tu;,uu., COUNT Y, i,u
held commission in the army of the
sultan of Zanzibar
The festive young man met the come
ly daughter of well-tO-do Arab mer.
chant and fell violently in love with
her He cared not cent for all the
bellies of Portugal, but he couldn't live
without this dusky beauty of Zanzibar.
She declined to marry him because he
was a Roman Catholic. That stunt
bling block was easily removed Lieut.
Sale abjured Catholicism, suddenly
blossomcd out as dcvout follower of
Mohammed, and soon after the love
smitten convert and the Arab belle
were married
The honeymoon did not last very
long Lieut. Sale grew tired of wife
who couldn't read or write and had
seen nothing of the world outside of
Zanzibar. He suddenly became recon-
verted to the Roman Catholic faith and
deserted his bride. He then decided
that the climate of Zanzibar was very
unhealthy. and applied to the sultan for
lOnr leave of absence The doctor
of the sultan felt the young mans pulse
and pronounced him perfectly well.
The sultan thereupon told the lieuten-
ant that he was n fraud and base de-
ceiver and clapped him into jail with
out any ceremony.
The sultan, it happened, had agreed
some time before that the Portuguese
consul-general should have the right to
fix the punishment of Portuguese often
ders. AS the consul-gcneral had not
been consulted in this case he made
things unpleasant for his highncss, Said
Bargash, and finally hauled down his
flag, proceeding that the sultan could
not contemplate with Indifference when
Portugal was looking obviously at bit
of his African territory, and was not
unwilling to pick chance to quarrel.
So Said Bargash FASTENED to apologize.
Lieut.. Sale marched out of the jail with
an indemnity in his pocket, and the
flag iloated again from the Portuguese
consulate.

According to announced programme

which was a mystery considering the
clouded state of the crowd. Some 800

Georgia brought down about thirty from
Norwalk, among them two white men.

decoration, and a plentiful repast was
served. That had much to do by way of
attraction. 4 great many Democrats
were present 10 see If anything new
be said, but about the same talk was
made by the speakers as usual. Rev.

Congressional candidates was weak. At
the wind-up, three cheers were called
for. and the greater portion of the dar-
hes responded. There was not much
applause during the latter part of Mr..

man who was to make the first clapping
of hands, to let the balance know when

sary to correct exaggerations prevailing
in the North and West as to the misfor-
Nature. says the New Orleans Times
Democrat, has certainly been unkind.
for within a comparatively short period
this section has been visited by earth
quake ut Charleston, by flood at Sabine
Pass. Johnson's Bayou and Planque-
mines, and by the fever at Biloxi. AS a
false idea of the magnitude of the losses
from those disasters prevails, the NerS
remarks TO its Northern readers:
"a very general sentiment of sym
pathy for the stricken sections of the
South is felt throughout the entire coun-
try. But the situation is by no means so
bad as some would make it appear.
Earthquake, flood and pestilence have
visited some portions, it is true, but the
actual area of visitation by any one,
and the total destruction, suffering and
loss of life by all three, though
appalling to those Immediately involved,
bear no comparison to the magnitude of
many of the calamities the South has
already struggled through and bravely
overcome"
OF those three disasters, the Charles
ton earthquake was the worst in the fl
nancial loss it brought. but even this
was confined to single city; its wharves
and warehouses, the railroads centering
there are uninJured, and the facilities of
the town for doing business are unim-
pared. With the energy that charac-
terizes Charleston it will not be long be-

fore the town completely rebuilds its
waste places. THE yellow fever at BIZ
loxi," the Nelrs sensibly remarks, lis
matter of importance rather as showing
the vigilance with which the health au-
thorities OF New Orleans are guarding
the gateway OF the Mississippi Valley
from the possible spread of the pesti-
lence" An honest AID sensible view of
the case taken by our Chicago contem-
porary, and all the more gratifying, as
the NelrS. some weeks ago, allowed an
attack to be made upon our Board of
Health in its local columns, by an ire
sponsible and anonymo If not imag
mary, Orleanian. Finally, as to the hor-
rors of Sabine Pass and Johnson's
Bayou, while they appeal to the sympa-
thy of the country for the great individ-
ual suffering caused and the families ru-
ined, it should be remembered the Nelcs
thinks that "they affect a much smaller
number of individuals and vastly less
territory than the forest fires of Wiscon-
sin and Michigan did few weeks since;
while ready hands are doing all that
kindly hearts can prompt to relieve the
distresses of the survivors"
Even while an appeal is being made to
the charity of the country for aid to the
sufferers, there Is no reason why there
should be any misunderstanding about
or exaggeration of the actual damages
inflicted by these disasters.
The NeJrS puts it well as follows: ION
the other hand, the South, as a whole,
has made more solid and permanent pro-
gress during the present year than ever
before in the same length of time in her
entire history. The Baltimore Ndnlgdc-
turers 'RecOHd has Just published q sum-
mary of the growth of Southern indus
trial interests since the LIST of January,
1886, which makes remarkable exhibit.
The activity in iron and steel enterprises
is much greater, in proportion, than in
the North, while the increase in the
number of new plants, the extension of
old ones, and the Inauguration of en-
tirely new lines of industry, show gain
of nearly 60 per cent over the figures for
the corresponding period last year. The
South is more than ever part of our
common country, and, while her afflic-
tons evoke the national sympathy, her
prosperity enhances the national pride.

a special from Ishpeming, Mich. of

y special from Ishpeming, Mich, of
Tuesday, says: John T. Jones, who, a
month ago was working as day laborer,
is now Independently wealthy. His
fortune was acquired in a most singular
manner. When he first came here, he
worked about different mines for awhile,
but finally offered % cents a ton for Il
pile of rock at the Winthrop Hematic
Company's mines, the money to be paid
as the rock was removed. He also bought
other piles of rock at the same price.
The company was surprised one day
when Jones set force of men at work
sorting the rock and carting off the ore.
1t now transpires that the rock pans out
one-half good ore, for which Jones re-
ceived $3.50 ton. The Winthrop pile
alone, it is said, netted him over 81 ,000.-
600. The work has been conducted
under the very eyes of the mill owners,
who have regarded the rock piles as
worthless, and paid no attention to Jones.
The Jones ore has been shipped largely
to Joliet, Ill.
