waste Of the Panama Company.

H.
The immense amount Of money spent
and the enormous waste Immediately
impress one. Many times I saw pieces
of fine machinery, brought there at great
expense, lying half covered with mud
and rusting without shelter of any Kind.
Where we stopped at the villages along
the route everywhere / observed the
same listlessness and apathy. Here and
there small gangs of men could be seen
shoveling earth, but so far as any organ
lied and perfect labor with a purpose in
view is concerned it does not exist along
the canal. Through that portion known
as h Gaiishbfa cut evidence of much ex-
ertion is seen. They are trying to cut
away q mountain; they nave not yet sue
ceeded. Here large squads of men were
working and seemed to be working well,
but one of the saperintendents smiled
when I asked him if the "cut'' would be
! completed in 1889 as De Lesseps has
promised.
In a tide level canal itmay be imagined
that excayated earth would have been
dumped into the sea and not placed on
the sides az in railroads, and especially
in this case, where the Chagres river can
rise fifty feet in q few hours, and whore
1t rains every day. The French engineers
did not carry their earth to the sea;
heavy rains came and the river returned
! all the excavations to their original loca-
ton, only a little further down stream.
The expense of excavation must again be
paid. In some places along the line the
debris has been washed back SO quickly
as to partly bury the very machines
| which threw it out.-Panama Cor. New

Dressing the Hair in Japan.

The manne of wearing the hair in
Japan is 10 elaborate that a Japanese
woman cannot do up her own hair, but
is obliged to go 70 one of these establish
ments. It is qt.i5e interesting to watch
this operation. The woman seats herself
on the floor before@a round mirror made
of polished metal, and the hair dresser
sets to work. 1t is really quite a fornaid-
able affair, as the woman is apt to be
very critical and insists on each hair be-
ing arranged just SO. The whole ar
rangement may be described as a kind
OF large bow knot, and beesvvax enters
largely into the material used for the
dressing. This has the effect of making
the hair very stiff and shiny. The
reason that the peculiar pillow is SO much
used is SO that the hair may not be dis
tutbed while asleep.
This pillow is a block of wood with a
notch cut in it for the back of the neck
to rest in. You see that even out here
woman is the same, and Just as much a
slave to fashion and vanity as in our own
country, yet one'thing must be said in
favor of the japanese women that can
not be said of u ccuntrywomen, and
that is that they do not, like them-poor,
misguided fools that they are-ruin their
health by corsets and tight lacing. Euro
pean influence has had tho rood effect of
driving out the horrid custom of black
enfng she teeth and gliding the lips. The
japanese women are really beautiful
when you once get accustomed to their
faces. The most of them have good
though slight figures, but to me the chief
beauty lay i n the expression of the eyes,
which are as soft and plaintive as a does.
The Chinese women, Or at least those
that 1 saw, were the homeliest and most
disagreeable set that I ever saw in my
llife.-Samuel +. Farrar in Chicago Jour
nal.

Churchili.s Revenge.

LONDON, Nov. 10. - Lord Randolph
Churchill has at last been provided with
an opportunity to revenge himself upon
The Standard for its rejoicing over his
downfall when he left the cabinet.
Churchill has never had any love for the
Standard, which heartily detests him,
and it, was with the keenest satisfaction
thai on Saturday he characterized that
papers recent antt-Americsn articles,
anent the Sackyille affair as the cheap
est and most transparent kind of blus-
ter and braggadocio, since they reflected
the'opinions of nobody, with the posi-.
bse exception of the mar who wrote
them. Ihe remarks of the young Tory
Democratic leader have received almost
general endorsement, and the few per
sons accepting The Standards views are
of the belief that tie articles would bet
ter not have been written.

A Socialist DemonstratIon.

LoNDcN, Nov. !9.-The anniversary OF
the socialists demonstration at Trafal-
gar square, and the execution of the
Chicago anarchists, was celebrated in
Victoria park. The gathering was inn
msnse, and speeches were made from
three platforms. Mrs. Lucy Parsons
spoke from one of them, advocating a
war of bombs, and Commoner Graham
occupied another, denouncing capitalists
and landlords. The unemployed work.
men, he asserted, had organized to take
possession OF the land, capital and ma
chinery for their own bene fit, and they
would continue their agitation until
something was accomplished towards
the ends sought. Failing to obtain these
objects they would remain slaves until
the scenes at Trafalgar square and Chi.
cago should bs repeated.

LONDON, Nov. 19.-Lord Ogilvy is in
the CONNER workhouse, herding with
petty criminals. Lord Ogilvy is 46 years
of age, and when he is not in some one
OF the jafls of the county he resides at
Piccadilly. When: he attained his ma
iority he became the possessor of an i'm
mense fortune. He quickly disposed of
II in riotous living, and his paternal es-
tates were, before he reached tho age OF
30, sold at public auction to meet the de-
mands of the money sharks in whose
meshes hs had become involved. Since

means he employed to Obtain a living,
end consequently he has frequently
found himself in the police courts. At
first he WIS lenient1y dealt with, for the
English Dogberry dearly loves a lord,
even though he is poor and disreputable;
but he liz now treated only with the
scanty courtesy given to the ordinsry Of.

MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN

LONDON, Nov. ia report has just
been received at the war Office from the
consul who Investigated the outbreak
and he revolving c~anhibalism that fol-
lowed At Okrika, an island situated
about fifty miles up the Bonny river,
in the British protectorate. 1t appears
that recently a section of the Ogoni
tribe, once a powerful people, but now
split up into factions through internecine
feuds, appealed TO the king and chief of
Okrika TO intervene in dispute between
themselves and another faction. The
Okrikans sided with the appellants, and
warned their opponents that in the event
Of hostilities they would assist them and
put o stop to this feId. The warning
was, however, without effect, and the
hostile Ogonis attacked the allies OF the
Okrikans whilst they were returning
from tha markets, killing o chief and
taking q number of prisoners, and a
quantity of property. The Okrikans, on
being Informed of this raid, planned
with their friends a diabolical scheme
for revenge, which they proceeded at
once to carry into effect. Under
the pretext of an invitation
to a friendly palaver for the
purpose of settling the differences
between the parties, the Ogonis con-
cerned in the attack referred to. accom-
panied by eighty Of their chiefs, were
treacherously lured into a trap, captured
and taken to okrika, where they were
barbarously butchered and eaten. The
victims included ON and children,
and to such a height had the taste for
blood risen that the Okrikans compelled
their children to drink the blood Of their
victims out of calabashes. The condi-
tion Of the town during the tragedy was
indescribably horrible. Mangled re-
mains and remnants Of human beings
were strewn in all directions, waffle
mutilated bodies were observed tioatlng
down the Benny river. After the ca pt-
ure Of the party invited to the palaver,
g raid vas naade Upon the virtually I'M
defended villages whence they came, and
the result was further atrocities. It is
difficult to estimate the number Of killed
and eaten, but the most reliable reports
put the number at the lowest at 100.
The consul gravely informs the govern
ment that IN punishment for these
atrocities there would be imposed a fine
OF ln0 pnncfeons of palm oil upon the
3Okrikans.
