HE SPIRIT OF A TIGER dread of
ghosts is common to all abori ginal races
of India, from which it has been very
generally adopted by their ArJan con
querors, and even by the lower Classes of
Mohammedans. All ghosts are believed
to be mischievous, and some of them
bitterly malicious, and the only means
employed to oppose their rancor is to
build shrines for them, and to make
them offerings of a fowl, a pig, or, on
grand occasions OF a buffalo. Any severe
illness, and more especially any epide-
mic disease, such as smallpox or cholera,
is attributed to the malignancy of GER
tain of these spirits, who must be propi-
tiated accordingly.
The man tiger is, perhaps, the most
dreaded of all these demon ghosts; for
when a tiger has killed a man the tiger is
considered safe from harm, as the spirit
Of man rides upon his head and guides
him clear of danger. Accordingly, it is
believed that "the only sure mode of de-
stroyiug tiger who had killed many
people is to begin by making offerings to
the spirits of his victims, thereby depriv
ing him of their valuable services. !"
The ghosts most propitiated are of those
who have met violent or untimely
death. whether by design or by accident,
including poison and disease. Even
wretches who are hanged for their crimes
are believed to have the same powers of
causing evil to the living as those who
have been killed by tigers or by light
ming or by any other violent cause

A Wise Woman.

A lady who is passing the summer in
a farm house, relates how by shrewd
device she secured her morning nap,
which had been seriously broken In
upon by a noisy cockerel who felt it at
once a privilege and a duty shrill-
voiced to hail the morn directly under
her window. She demonstrated with
her hostess in vain. That worthy dame
slept on the other side of the house,
and troubled herself little at the report
of chandeliers offensiveness; so that
it became evident enough to the board
er that if anything was to be done she
must do it herself.
She reflected; she devised a plan;
she acted. She hunted up a small boy
in the neighborhood, and for small
sum hired him to come early in the
dewy morning and drive the clamor-
Gus cockerel round to the other side Of
the house. The result was that when
the chanticleer's shrill clarion cheered
the morn its notes pierced into the
yexed ears of the landlady instead OF
those of the boarder.
The result of this policy was most
satisfactory The small boy had been
engaged for a week, but at the end OF
the third day the boarder smilingly
paid HIM Il weeks wages and dis
charged him.
because" she said, las we are 60
ing to eat the rooster for dinner to-
morrow, / shall not need to make you
come any longer. n-BoSton Courier.

HE GOVERNMENT ENGRAVING BUREAU,
The girls were from every part of the
country, but chiefly from the district sur
rounding Washington. Most OF them
are poor; some of them have had the
advantages of wealth and social position,
but have been overtaken by misfortune
and compelled to earn their own living.
Many of them are studious and work
hard to educate themselves. ! am told
that several of them are excellent must
clans, while others are proficient in elo-
cution. There are also several artists,
and one who is g fine botanist.
"But are they never tempted to take
some of the millions of money that they
handle? [ hear some one speak.
"We look upon it only as so mneh
paper, said one of the girls to whom I
had put the same question in different
form. ''It becomes Of value to us only
when we receive Il in payment for our
work. We never think of it here as
money"
Even if they did look upon it as
money, and were tempted to fill their
pockets with it, they could not get out
of the building with it. So perfect is
the system of checks and balances in the
bureau Of engraving and printing that
a piece of blank paper, such as is used
to print securities on, could not be tax
en- without being missed inside of ten
minutes, and if it were not found no one
in the division where it was lost would
be allowed to pass out of the building
until it was discovered and made safe
again. Of course, where such vigilance
is exercised there is no temptation to
steal.-Washington Cor. Chicago Her

Gen. Grants Humor.

1t is fact not generally known that
Gen. Grant was a humOriSt. He had
Il propensity that he could not even re.
sist, while penning or debating his
memoirs, to draw his conclusions OF
people and events in few sharp. dry
sentences. that have been described by
MARK Twain as indicative of pow
er beyond Burdette and himself.
The statement has been recently
made that a great many of the humor-
Gus passages and comments occurred
in Gen. Grants manuscript, and that
they were ruthlessly clipped by the
publishing firm OF which Mark Twain
is the head and front, for the reason
that they were out of place in work
Of that description.
That they were Out out of the Gener-
ais manuscripts is true, according to
Col Fred Grant, and for the reason
given, but Col. Grant declares that
the excisions were made by Gen.
Grant himself.
Mrs. L. 5. Grant. with the Colonel
and his family, are spending the sum-
mer at Cranston's. Col. Grant chattef
freely on the subject with a Herald re-
porter, who called upon him at the
hotel last evening.
Yes he said, lit is true that faith
er wrote good many humorous stor-
les while engaged on his book.
He cut them out himself, however,
and | am not aware that Mr.. Clemens
or his publishing firm had anything to
do with it. ] don't think that they
had, although it may have been at Mr..
Clemens advice that some funny pas
sages were left out.
Some of them were good indeed. /
have them at home, but they are not
for publication. Most of them are too
severe.
You know father used to read what
he had written to many of the friends
that called upon him. No doubt Mr..
Clemens heard all of it. Before COM
pleting the work father came to the
conclusion that some of the stories
were too severe, and all were too
humorous to be printed in a historical
work such rs his book was. Then, as
said, he decided to omit them. That's
all there is to the story"
Mr.. Hall. member of the Charles
L. Webster Publishing Company, said
yesterday positively that no humorous
passages were stricken out of Gen.
Grants autobiography. 81 took down
several chapters of the book in short
hand" he explained, Eat the Generals
request, and | know that no changes
Were made except such slight ones as
were suggested by the General, Col.
Fred Grant, and the proofreaderS. 1t
Is absurd for any one to suppose that
the publishers had mangled the Gener-
ais manuscript, and l am confident
that there is no foundation for any
contrary statement"

THE TOILERS OF THE NILE.

Here we are in Nubia, the climate, the
different types of the negro race, their
black skins displayed with lavish disre-
gard of dress, all remind US that we are
indeed in Africa, for all about us are the
very scenes we used to see in the geOg-
raphy pictures when but children. Ny
self native of the south, and familiar
with plantation life in half dozen diff
ferent states, before as well as since the
civil war, | find these Africans in their
own country a particularly interesting
study. We have watched them at their
daily toll, and far too often are they
made to work night as well ss day, until
exhausted nature could stand no more.
Their food is lentils, grain something
like barley, but tasting more like the
bean. A coarse dry bread, that well
bred dog would not eat at'home. Some
times few dates as luxury, then this
is all. We buy a sheep now and then for
the. boats crew, and they are as ravenous
over it as a pack or starving wolves.
The crews of the boats are decently
covered, but with great number cloth
ing is unknown. we see these people
drawing water from the river, toiling in
the fields and laboring in the great su gar
mills of the Nile.
For my part, 1 can truly say that slav.
cry was understood by me before visit
ing Egypt. In intelligence and respect
ability the average of these people. not
simply Nubians, but those Of Egypt as
well, mean, of course, the felaheen, do
not compare with our plantation neg
roes. The alleged cataracts are nothing
more than rapids, not as fine as those
above Niagara falls, nor Lachine of the
st. Lawrence. We descended the lesser
one in a small row boat. found it excit-
ing, with perhaps spice OF danger i'll it.
1t was good sport to watch tie ebony
sons of the desert leap from the rocky
cliff into the seething waters of the great
cataract, then, after a hard struggle,
scamper up the steep bank, and, by the
dozen, make our ears ring with the din
of the national motto, ''backscheash,
backsceash," all in chorus.-William 7.

CANNlBALs OF THE NIGER.-Mr Fl. II.
Johnston, the British consul at Came
room, recently made a trip up the Cross
river, which empties into the Cult OF
Guinea, about $50 miles east of the main
branch of the Niger. Mr.. Johnston is
weIliknown by his geographical work on
on tie Congo and his book on Mount
kilima- Marc. He had not Eascended
the river more than fifty miles before the
people he met began to be very wild and
excitable. In q communication lust
published In the Proceedings of the
Royal Geographical society, Mr.. John
ston says the people are all inveterate
cannibals. They are continually fight
ing with each other to supply their lar
dels with fresh food. In one hat which
he entered a smoked human ham was
hanging from the smoke blackened raft
ers, and above hundred skulls were
ranged around the upper part of the clay
walls. One old chief who wished to
convince Johnston of his friendly feeling
took necklace from his neck and
presented 1t to the white man. The
ornament was made of human knuckIe
bones.
a. OIS pOIuL Uu TIC liver where TIE
traveller was received with great apparent
friendship, he learned that the natives
were debating the question whether TO
treat the visitors as honored guests or to
eat them, or at any rate to eat the Kroo
boys who had padded Mr.. johnston up
the river. He decided that it would not
be safe to extend his explorations
further, aud he started down the river
while the natives were still debating
what to do with him. AS he turned his
canoe down stream, the noisy villagers
gave chase, and there were few
minutes of terrible anxiety when the
canoe ran aground, and hundreds of the
yelling savages attempted to wade across
the shallow water and seize the fugitives.
Even little children, Johnston says,
armed themselves with knives, and,
standing ankle deep in the water, Shrek
ing at the top of their voices that they
would like to eat the white man. The
explorer, however, managed to keep out
of tho clutches of the savages, and to
get away without fring.-New York

The Careful Horse.

Every one has noticed while driving
how rarely horse steps on a stone,
even when going rapidly. A writer in
Golden Days quotes an old cavalryman
as saving that Il horse never steps on a
man Intentionally. 1t IS 4 standing
order with cavalry that should man
become dismounted he must lie down
and be perfectly still. Ii he does so the
entire company will pass over him and
he will not be injured. A horse mott
ces where he is going and is on the
lookout for firm foundation TO put
his foot on. 1t is an instinct with him.
therefore,t to step over PROSTATE man.
The injuries caused by a runaway
horse are nearly always inflicted by
the animal knocking down men, not
by stepping on them.

IMPROVING on THE WATCH.-"The
brain work on watch, said a ieweIer
yesterday, sis about all in the making of
the machines and instruments used in
the manufacture of the watch. Each
factory has its inventors, who are con-
stautly at work on the machinery, which
is improved every year. The machines
are very costly, but they are easily used,
and after little practice the employe can
feed them, and thousands of screws or
wheels are turned out IN an hour.
"There are at least twelve watch fac
tories in this country, four of which
the Elgin, the Waltham and the Water
bury factories-turn out 1000 watches
in day. Many of them are sold in this
country, but many find market abroad.
The American watches excel the English
timepieces. In England matchmaking
is just what it was 100 years ago. There
is no money back of the manufacture.
There are no factories there as in this
country, where one machine will cost
as much as the whole shop in England.
Matchmaking, or, more properly, watch
repairing, is a good trade, and it would
be better if some of our educated young
men had acquired it. The increasing
demand for watches makes more work
men necessary to keep them in repair.
Watchmakers serve seven years without
pay in learning the trade. But after
they have mastered the business they
can command excellent wages. New
York Graphic.

THE EXPLORER IN AFRICA.-Now. il
may be surprise to the unenlightend to
learn that probably no explorer in fore
ing his passage through Africa has ever.
for more than a few days at time. been
off some beaten track. Probably no
country in the world, civilized or uncivil.
lied, is better supplied with paths than
this unmapped country. Every village
is connected with some other village.
every tribe with the next tribe, eyerv
state with its peighbor, and, therefore,
with all the rest. The explorers bust
ness is to select from this network of
tracks, keep general direction and hold
on his way. Let him begin at Zanzibar,
plant his foot on a native footpath, and
set his face toward Tanganyika. In
eight months he will be there. He has
simply to persevere.
From village to'village he will be hand
ed on, zigzagging it may be sometimes,
to avoid the impossible barriers of nat
ure, or the rarer perils of hostile tribes,
but never taking to the woods, never
guided solely by the stars; never, in fact,
leaving a beaten track till hundreds and
hundreds of miles are between him and
the sea. and his interminable footpath
ends with canoe on the shores of Tan
ganyika. Crossing the lake, landing
near some native village, he picks mp the
thread once N re. Again be plods on
and on, now on foot, low by canoe, but
always keeping his line of villages, until
one day suddenly he shifts the sea breeze
again, and his faithful foot wide guide
lands him on the Atlantic seaboard.-

FROM A GERMAN CycroPnD1.-Ha

FROM GERMAN CYCLoPaDIA.-Her
is the ridiculous way in which German
cyclopedia, recently published in Leip-
sic, described the social life of large city
in the eastern New York, possibly Al
bany: after dinner the gentlemen at
the reception followed the ladies to the
saloon and lighted their cigars. Those
who did not smoke, chewed and spat
quite recklessly on the floor. Many who
did not use tobacco, took small knives
from their pockets, for an American
gentleman always carries some kind of a
knife, and carved or cut slivers from the
chairs; almost all of them put their feet
on tables or chairs. This behavior.
which would insult our German ladies',
the many beautiful American ladies in
the room regarded as a matter of course.
