Bishop Taylor on Stanley.

Bishop William Taylor, the distinguished African Bishop of the Methodist Church, has some views on the disappearance of Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer. He said that from his knowledge of the condition of things in Africa it was probable that Stanley had gone into the interior of the country where he could not be heard from for & year or two and that interested persons were taking advantage of his absence to create interest for individual schemes to organize searching parties, whose real object was something else than the re- covery of or assistance to Stanley.

A COlored Prophet.

There is panic among the colored people of Guyton, Ga, and negroes are praying who colored man named Simmons, timer, claims that voices from heaven have told him to warn the people that Guyton is shortly to be visited by an earthquake unless the people stop their evil practices. Simmons has written out the warning in detail and goes from house to house reading it to both whites and colored. The negroes have taken Ssmmons's predictions as true, and their effect on the ignorant has been such as to demoralize them, and many who are in service have refused to perform their duties until Simmons's earthquake comes.

The Shah's Great Wealth.

What he terms his museum is curious
place. It contains profusion of costly
articles and objects of art such as exist
nowhere else at the present day, 1T being
the opinion Of well-informed Europeans,
who have viewed these treasures, that
their money value is perhaps twenty-fold
that of the contents of the so called green
vaults at Dresden. 1t is impossible to
give exact figures for they could only be
obtained after a long and minute inspec
ton and valuation by experts; but
roughly estimated, it is probable that
there is more than 800, 900, 900 worth of
jewelry. precious stones, coined and I'M
coined gold, costly 0tjcts de rertu, fine
porcelain and glassware, old weapons
and armor. tableware and ornaments of
exquisite Persian and Hindu workman
ship, etc. The so called peacock throne
"a part of the piunder Nadia Shah car
ried off from Delhi 150years ago. is alone
valued at many millions. even after
number of the large, rough and uncut
jewels have been broken out and stolen.
1t is an incongruous place, this museum.
There you will see vases of agate or gold
and lapis lazuli, said to be worth millions;
and alongside of them empty perfume
bottles of European make, with gaudy
labels, that can be had at wholesale for
about five cents apiece. You will see
priceless mosaics and exquisitely painted
cups and cans and vases, which were
presented by some European potentate;
and side by side with them you will
notice horrible daubs, veritable 1O-cent
chromos, picked up the Lord knows how
and where You will perceive glass
cases filled with huge heaps of rubies,
diamonds, emeralds, sapphires, turquoises,
garnets, topazes, beryls, of all sizes and
kinds, cut and uncut; and cheek by jowl
with these your eyes wi l see cheap music
boxes, Jews harps and squeaky hand
organs.
The Shah must also be in condition to
" bull " the market on pearls, for here is,
for instance, big glass case, twenty
four inches long by eighteen inches wide
and high, that is more than half filed
with beautiful pearls (mostly from the
Persian Gulf fisheries) of all sizes and
degrees of Ioveliness. In a separate long
case the orders and decorations of the
Shah, coming from nearly every country
in the world, are kept on exhibition; but
the crown jewels are in a little box that
is always locked and for which the Shah
himself forever, waking or sleeping,
carries the keys. The contents of this box
and of the several vaults where he keeps
his piles on piles of bright, shining, un-
used money, he never allows others to
view, although the museum may be
visited once a year by the European
diplomatists and the friends that they

Realism on the japanese Stage.

The following is an extract from the
London Pal Mall Gazette describing a
play in Japan. This was the plot which
amused the Mikado's subjects: A man
becomes jealous Of his wife and quarrels
with her loudly and long, using strong
language, and she answers HIM in kind.
Finally, after much by play and rhetoric,
he, in an exacerbation of passion, stabs
her to death, and is Immediately ceased
with remorse But bark! some one APP
proaches, as is evidenced by the clat-
ter made with two sticks on the stage by
an orcht stra man. The murderer hides
the body behind n screen, and a neigh
Dor enters and asks for something, but
soon goes away. Now to get rid of the
evidence He draws his victims body
from its hiding place and tears its cloth
ing away; then he takes a weapon like
bill hook, and butcher-like, sewers an
arm off and throws it, dripping blood
yes, driF ping blood-and quivering, into
a basket; then he cuts off the other arm;
then the legs and head; and finally he
divides the carcass in two, and the
stage assumes the appearance of human
shamble; then he collects the pieces and
ties them up in pack and sings it on
his back, and is about to depart, when
To- the police appear, and tableau! The
body of freshly strangled criminal was
substituted as a dummy, and the play
was only given three nights because the
supply of criminals gave out and there
were no more dummies to be had. The
public executioner sold his corpses at 80
cents head. There's relish for you.
