Liberia.

The New York Commercial Adrer-
tiser reports that an American who has
spent some months in Liberia writes
privately from Monrovia, the capital
that it is built on a bed of iron ore,
nearly pure; that it contains 5000 in
habitants, only few of them white,
divided into natives, the Liberians, or
children born there of foreign parents,
and immigrants. The Kroos, an abo-
riginal tribe, were formerly the slave
dealers of the coast, and each man has
blue tattoo mark in the middle of his
forehead, extending to his nose. The
women paint themselves from head TO
heel, many having the Liberian or
American flag painted on their brows,
but never the British flag, which they
hate. The girls, as soon as they can
walk, are put into the gree-bush, kind
OF barbarous convent where they are
taught their duties as women and wives.
They are usually sold at birth for con-
nubial purposes at about SIS each, or
half dozen for SIS. A man may have
as many wives as he has money to pay
for. The boys are kept in the bush
until fourteen, when they are consid-
cIou VI aye IL lHc DoyS VI girls us
close the secret of their bush, or are
caught in another bush than their own,
they are publicly put to death. The
country has some 100000 aboriginals,
with 10000 persons of colonial stock,
and nearly all the semi-tropcal prod
ucts are Indigenous there. The govern
ment is modelled exactly after ours. 1t
was declared an independent state in
1S47, and, the year following was recog-
nized as such by Great Britain and
France. The climate, which was once
considered fatal to Europeans, has been
recently much improved by clearances,
drainage and the like, and bids fair, ul-
timately, to be inhabitable by the wes-
tern races.

George Bancrofps Methods.

The venerable historian, George
Bancroft, has returned from his sum
mer home at Newport, looking as if he
was only forty instead of eighty-seven
years old, picture of hale and hearty
old age He is to be seen every morn
ing, rain or shine, on his thoroughly

Spofford, the librarian of congress,
riding at rapid pace into the country
for exercise, with groom in livery be-
hind them, and it requires pretty
good horse and pretty good rider to
Bancroft's wife year or more ago, he
has done very little literary work, and
his history of the United States remains
at stand-still; but the material to
carry the work up to the war of the re-
bellion has been collected and CLASH
fed, and Mr.. Spofford, who, it is sup
posed, has been selected by Mr.. Ban
croft, and mentioned in his will as his
literary executor, can carry on the great
work from the point where the master
drops it. Mr.. Bancroft's methods of
labor are peculiar. He has had his his
torical data in the vaults of safe de-
post company in Washington for years.
When he intends to write he sends for
whatever notes and manuscript he
needs-and he has copies of all the ar
chives of the United States and several
foreign countries, gathered at an i'm
mense cost of money and labor, and
devotes himself to study until he has
every fact fixed in his mind, with the
relating circumstances. Then he calls
in his stenographer and dictates to him
at length, constantly walking up and
down his room as he does so generally
with his hands under his coat-tails, or
leaning back in his easy-chair with a
long German pipe in his mouth. After
the notes are written out Mr.. Bancroft
devotes himself to the work of con-
densing and refining them, often re-
ducing five or six pages into one. The
result is then copied and laid away, often
for years, until the subject or epoch of
which he is treating is complete. Then
he takes the manuscript, goes over it
again in the same manner, leaving
scarcely line as it originally stood,
but rewriting the whole Washing
ton Cor. N. Y. Commercial Adcertiser.

An Incident of the Flood.

A special despatch from Sabine Pass,
Tex, tells the following story of the
flood: "Bill Stafford worked as a day
laborer near Johnson Bayou post-office.
He had the reputation of being the
toughest man in the community. He
loved whiskey and fighting. He is
more than six feet high and giant in
strength. On last Tuesday he was
working for Ralph Hackett. Hackett
and his wife went to Radford in the
forenoon, leaving two children, a boy
of two years and girl of four, at home.
When the storm came up Bill Stafford
went to the house, the little girl was
crying and Bill spanked her. When
the water rose he took the children up
stairs. 1t continued to rise and Crawl
ing Bill' began to grow nervous. He
lifted the two children, one on each
shoulder, and vacated the house. The
water was up to his breast and roll
ing furiously. He headed for the near
est tree and was thrown down twice,
each time the children being wrenched
from him, but he recovered them and
climbed the tree. For four hours he
remained in the tree with his helpless
charge, when a blast of wind knocked
him and them off. He caught one of
them and also piece of floating debris.
He took the back of the childs dress in
his mouth, held the debris with one
hand, and made plunge for the other
child. He caught her. Fourteen hours
later relief party found Bill and the
two children, all alive but insensible
The little one died in few hours, but
Bill and the girl will recover. Bill was
acquainted with the children he strug-
gled so nobly to save only four days.
The parents of the children were found
alive, but more than ten miles apart

a Magnificent Display I'm Yesterday
Mornings Sky.
Outside of the policemen who were on
duty and the workers on the morning news
papers who were vending their way home
after the nights labor, there were but few
people who'witnessed the brilliant electrical
phenomenon in the heavens at an early
hour yesterday morning which has never
been surpassed for beauty and grandeur.
About 2:30 flush of light resembling the
reflection on the sky from burning build
ing, was seen on the edge of the western
horizon. 1t gradually spread and bright
ened until in the course of half hour the
whole sky seemed to be blaze of light and
a sea of fire. 1t was magnificent sight and
one never to be forgotten by those who
beheld it. About o'clock the fiery waves
which seemed to have been playing across
the sky in a billowy motion, began to roll
together III folds until at last they presented
the appearance of long scroll. Then the
scroll assumed more solid shape
looking like band of heated iron stretch
ing from point in the heavens near the
zenith down TO the brim of the western
horizon From the band of golden flame
there occasionally shot forth streams of
light to the right and to the left. AS grad
ually as it came, did the phenomena fade
away. From a band of flaming fire it
melted down until it presented the appear
ance OF crack in the floor of the
celestial city through which the light of
glory was streaming. BY degrees it grew
DINNER and DINNER until at last it twinkled
away beyond the stretch of mortal vision,
and the few persons who had been the for
tunate observers of the grand spectacle felt
that the gates of heaven had been closed
when the phenomena disappeared. The
time Of duration of this celestial pyrotech-
nical display was nearly one hour.
