The Diary of a Murdered Missionary.

LONDON, October 2Sth.-The diary of
Bishop Harrington, who was put to death
by order of the King of Uganda, Africa,
has been published, giving the details of
the last week of his life. He describes the
arrival of his party at Lubwas. where the
Chief, at the head of a thousand troops,
demanded ten guns and three barrels of
powder. The Chief asked Bishop Han
nington to remain with him for day, and
the latter complied. While taking walk
the Bishop was attacked by about twenty
natives. He struggled with his assailants,
but became weak and faint, and was
dragged long distance by the legs. When
his prosecutors halted they stripped,
robbed him and imprisoned him in a vile
hut full of vermin and decaying bananas.
While he was lying there, i'll and helpless,
the Chief and his hundred wives came out
of curiosity to feast their eyes on him.
On the next day he was allowed to return
to his own tent, where, though still i'll, he
felt more comfortable. He was still guard
ed, however by natives. He remained in
bed during the following day. Parties of
the Chiefs wives, out of idle
curiosity, came daily to see him.
He was allowed to send messages
to his friends, but he believed they were in
tercepted. On the seventh day he writes
that at night the place swarmed with YER
min that the guards were drunk and
noisy, and that he was unable TO go tC
sleep AT last he became delirious. On
the eighth, October Goth, he was conscious.
His entries on this day were brief: Nc
news. A hyena howled all night, smelling
sick man. Hope he will not have me
yet" This is the final entry. 1t is believed
that shortly after writing this he was taken
out and put to death.
