THE SULTAN UNAwED.

The last cable advices from Tangier,
received at the State Department at
Washington, in regard to the expected
settlement of the pending difficulty are
not, it is understood, as encouraging as
they were believed to be. The Sultan of
Morocco is not only disposed not to refer
the controverted question of authority to
arbitration, but the evidences are that he
is inclined to assert his authority by sus-
tanning his views in a forcible way.
This, it is said at the State Department,
is most deeply regretted, because our
government has nothing more formidable
with which to assail the sultan than the
missives of the State Department; and if
diplomatic correspondence should fail to
awe the sultan into accepting the views
of the State Department it has, it is said,
no reason to hope for any moral support
from the navy. The correspondence.
however, will continue, with the hope
that Consul General Lewis may subjugate
the sultan by peaceful methods.

TWO MORMON LADIES
Settle n love nGa if by a duel.


A duel took place recently at small
Mormon settlement in Luna valley, near
San Marco, N. NJ, between two lovesick
Mormon maidens. They had become en-
amored of the same youth, James Whit
man, cowboy and GENTLE. Their
names are Sarah Bolton and Mary Lee
more, aged sixteen and eighteen years.
They were always friends up to the time
Of their love affair. They met a short
time before the duel in the adobe taber-
nacle In the hamlet and had fight right
then and there. This increased their
hatred, and from that time up to the, day
of the duel both went armed with a re-
yolver. They finally met by mutual
agreement on the outskirts of the small
village and proceeded to fight q duel.
There were no attendants. They meas
ured off about twelve PAGES, drew their
revolvers, and fired shot after shot.
The firing attracted the attention OF some
farmers working near by who rushed to
the scene of the duel. When they ar
rived Miss Bolton was lying on the ground
screaming, with blood flowing from an
ugly wound in the shoulder. A few feet
from her lay her revolver in the dust
Miss Leemore stood like statue about
rod away, looking silently at her pros
trate rival, with her revolver still smok
ing in her hand. When the men ap
preached to disarm her she fled, ant
shrieked: Eyes, l have killed her, and
am glad of it'll" Miss Bolton was carried
to the nearest house, where her wount
was dressed. She was found to b.

A TRAIN WRECKED.

A Burlington s. Quincy freight train
was badly wrecked when entering the
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago
yards at Chicago, ILL.,, and under circum-
stances which leads to the belief that it
was the work of the strikers or sympa-
thizers. After the engine and two cars
had passed, some unknown miscreant
threw the switch and the next fifteen
cars were piled up in hopeless wreck in
ditch. just as the switch was thrown,
man near the rear of the train threw a
tic on the track, wrecking the last three
cars, and at the same time car Of
dope" material of highly infammable
nature, used tor oiling wheels, which
was in the center of the train, was on fire
and destroyed. The conductor was found
lying near the tracks nearly insensible.
He had been beaten by three men who
boarded his caboose. He cannot live.
The crew of the wrecked train was en-
tirely made up of new men,

One of the most striking things to be
met with in the earlier pages of Emin
Pasha's journal is a reference to a report
which is brought to him between Lado
and Dutile, on the Upper Nile, that n
race of dwarfs inhabit mountain caves
to the west of Beden. They were said
to be only forty inches high, of a brown
color and of great agility, to eat white
ants and roots, and to shoot with very
small arrows, which are poisoned and
very difficult to extract. The pigmies
he was inclined to regard as the remain
der of a dwarf population which ages
ago spread itself W. central Africa.
Four years later he himself comes upon
some specimens of the Aka, n pigmy
people, divided into numerous small
tribes, who lead a nomadic life in the
Monbuttu country. One of these Aka
''had a reddish, but rather dark skin
probably dirt, was very prognathous,
rather swag bellied, but exceedingly
nimble. His height was 8 feet 0 inches.
His whole body was covered by thick
stiff hair, almost like felt, which wa
especially thick on the breast. A girl IA
years of age measured 3 feet 7-8 inch In
height These people are said to be very
expert hunters; but also very vindictive,
SO that the neighboring tribes are glad to
let them have all they want for MAIN
tenance in return for skins and feathers,
the products of the chase, which they
prosecute with bows and arrows alone

NY husbands horse had almost human
ways of talking with him, as lie leaned
far out of the saddle and laid his face on
the gallant animals head, and there was
a CLEAN in the eye, a proud little toss of
the head, speaking back a whole world
of affection. The general could ride
hanging quite out of sight from the OPP
posite side, one foot caught in the STIR
rup, his hand on the name; and it made
no difference to his beloved friend, he
took any mode that his master chose to
cling to him as n matter of course, and
curveted and pranced in the Hottest,
proudest way. His manner as plainly
said as speech: "See what we two can
dol" l rarely knew him have a horse
that did not soon become 50 pervaded
with his spirit that they appeared to be
absolutely one in feeling. 1 was obliged
usually to submit to some bantering slur
on my splendid Gusts Lee. Perhaps a
dash at first would carry the general and
the dogs somewhat in advance.
My side had a trick of aching if we
started off on a gallop, and 1 was obliged
to keep a tight rein on Gusts Lee at first,
as he champed at the bit, tossed his i'm
patient head and showed every sign of
ignominious shame. The general, as
usual, called out, "Come on, old ladyl
Chug up that old plug of yours; I've got
one orderly; don't want another"-this
riding at a considerable distance in the
rear. After a squirt of tremendous speed
back flew the master to me to excuse
him; he was ready now to ride slowly
till 'that side of mine came round to
time, which it quickly did, and then I
revenged the insult on my swift Lee, and
the maligner at last called out, That's
not so bad a nag after ALL" The horses
bounded off the springy turf as if they
really hated the necessity of touching the
sod at all. They were very well matched
in speed, and as on we flew we were
neck by neck, side by side, never chang
ing our places. Breathless at last, horses,
dogs and ourselves made a halt. The
orderly with his slow troop horse was a
speck in the distance. OF course, l had
gone to pieces little by little between the
mad speed and rushing through the wind
of the plains. -Tenting on the Plains,

Snakes of tho Dismal swamp.

All the snakes of the Dismal swamp
are shy and timid. Very rarely do they
bite, and then only when driy IN by fear.
The largest snake in the sw amp is the
king snake, which grows to be ten feet
in length. The rattlesnake is fortunately
rare in the swamp. 1t is mostly seen
near the feeder, and is the diamond or
water rattlesnake, the largest and most
sullenly ~ferocious of its dread family. 1t
has a brown back and a dirty yellowish
belly. A ''swamper" said he had seen
one this year that was eight feet long.
The most dangerous snake in the
swamp is one of the smallest, called the
poplar snake. He is about twelve inches
in length, green in color, like that of the
poplar tree in which he lives. We es-
capped him most fortunately, for before
we heard of him we had deflowered
many poplars of their beautiful blossoms.
This snake is a direful pest; from his
size and color he is not easily seen, and
his poison is said to resemble the rattle
snakes.
The water moccasin is a venomo
snake, and it is surprising, considering
his countless presence in the swamp, that
SO few people are bitten. This reptile lit
orally infests all quarters of the swamp.
Other snakes, more or less numerous,
are the black snake sometimes nine feet
long,, the horned snake and the jointed
snake. Abeham and Jim said that they
had often killed this latter questionable
reptile, and that it had ''broken into
pieces about two and d half inches long.'t
