How Boston Doctor Relieved FASH
ionable Woman OF "A Great Care.
Arlo Bates, in one Of his gossipy letters TO
the Providence Journal, writes: There
dwells In n semLgentcel quarter a widow
who Is worth a quarter Of million; and
whose family consists Of pet dog, herself
and a small son, the Importance of the three
coming In about this order; i'm any case the
boy comes last y About a month
ago the pet, who was at the seashorc with
his mistress, was taken i'll. Mrs. Blank
sent for her physician, who was staying in
Boston, 10 come down 10 Mount Desert to
soc the dog. He refused 10 leave his hu-
man patients for a brute one, and so, al
though sho was very angry, she was forced
20 come 10 Boston with the invalid, because,
as she explained 10 On acquaintance, she
"could not run the risk Of exposing Filomel
10 the chance of being treated by doctor
who did not understand his constitution"
Arrived in town the dog improved, but
the widows child, who had been brought
along, began TO sickcn. The doctor ordered
the boy out OF town, and az the widow was
too anxious about her spaniel TO leave it,
the son was coniided to the care Of his
nurse, who took him TO the seashore, at a
place not so far removed from Boston as TO
be out Of the range Of the doctors care.
The child, neglected by tho nurse, who fell
into a violent filtration with the head
waiter OF the hotel where they were stay
ing, grew worse. One afternoon the doctor
took the train down 10 see the child, and
found the poor little fellow III in bed, and
left wholly alone, while the nurse was out
walking with her friend, the head waiter.
The doctor, who is a man of some de-
termination, took the invalid in a carriage
aud drove across tho country half n dozen
miles TO the cottage Of his sister, into whose
care he gave the small sufferer. When he
returned to town and told the mother OF

Appalling Devastation I'm the Heart or the
Dark Continent.
The destruction wrought in Central
Africa by Arab slave stealers within the
past i've or six years is appalling, says the
New York sun. In regions where Living
stone, Stanley and Cameron saw large
populations no human inhabitants can now
be found. Most of them have been capt.
uTed OF slaughtered, and remnants Of tribes
have escaped into other districts. These
regions are included between % degrees
and 81 degrees east longitude and between
degrees and 12 degrees south latitude and
embrace an area of nearly 10000 square
miles.
Among the most entertaining writings of
Livingstone and Stanley are their de-
scriptiors Of the beautiful land Of the
Manyema, west OF Lake Tauganyila. ana
its unique inhabitants, and all these, as
Gleerup now reports, have completely dis
appeared except the gangs of Manyema
slaves who work the Arab plantations along
the caravan route. The path of Arab dew.
astation extends straight west from Lake
Tanganyika, past Nyang1ve TO the Upper
Sankuru five hundred miles, and for q
breadth Of seEenty-fye miles hardly ma
tive has been left 10 tell Of the awful in
Vasion.
IL was IN the western part OF this district
that Lieutenant Wissmann in 1852 visited q
Bene Ki town, whose single street extended
Tor ten miles. whose hpts were twenty feet

nIgn ana surrounded by neat court-yards,
whose men toiled in the fields behind the
houses, while all the inhabitants babe the
stranger welcome, and about five thousand
of them visited his camp that evening. Two
years ago Wissmann passed again through
that place. There was nothing left of the
happy homesteads. In the tall grass that
choked the long street were found many
charred poles aud blackened skulls. The
hordes of Tippu lib within six months had
paid three murderous visits TO this large set

who offered resistance were killed, and the

Arabs, and famine completed the tragedy.
The powerful tribe of Bene XII had ceased TO
exist, and only a few individuals had
escaped south 10 Zappu Zapp, chief woo
was himself refugee from Arab aggres-
sion.
Along three hundred miles Of the Congo,
between Nyangwe and Stanley Falls, the
Arabs, according TO Gleerup and LEM, have
depopulated about fifteen thousand square
miles Of territory. The numerous tribes
whom Stanley first saw have become slaves
or in greatly depleted numbers wander
through the forests far from the river.
rolling prairie west of Tippu Tbs home at
KaSongo have been utterly drained of their
people. About twenty thousand square
miles on the Western headwaters of the
Congo are no longer a profitable field for
slave-hunting In the very region where
Livingstone died and where his heart was
buried, extending southeast from Lake
Banweolo and embracing about fifteen
thousand square miles, the Arabs, we are
told by Giraud, have completely ravaged
the country. And from all these centers OF
devastation the paths of the destroyers
leading to slave marts and shipping points
may be traced by the bones Of the victims
who fall by the way.
1t can not be possible that the civilized
world will much longer permit this colossal
crime of the century to add its murderous
results without taking earnest measures tc
