SLAVES IN AFRICA.
Tho Mortality Among the Victims of tho
 Greedy Arab Traders.

Tho Mortality Among the Victims of tho
 Greedy Arab Traders.
 It was my lot once to be with Dr. Livingstone in the vicinity of Lake Nyassa, and at 8 time when for the jlaver it was an exceedingly happy hunting ground. As a consequence of what we saw, Livingstone reckoned hat for every slave that got to his or ler destination ten lives wore lost. h. asmuch as the ground now so cleared of slaves near the coast ithat is to say, for tho normal mode of collecting that ,he Zanzibar Arabs have to procure them more than half way across Af- rica, as shown recently by Mr. Arnot, tho calcu alton of ten lives per slave may probably now be under the mark. The Arab slave dealer s appearance on the scene means raids, quarrels fomented between strong and weak chiefs; neg lected sowing season in the pre- vai'ing disturbance; famine. and then the pestilence which follows on starva- ton. A vast proportion Of the slaves perish on their journey 10 tho coast, and fna ly the mortality is great a sea in ovey crowded and unseawo tn dhows; for. with the possi ibility O. capture before his eyes, tko slave shipper-particularly if lo is bouno for Pernba charters any old crank

scABIEs OR HITCH"
One of the Most Troublesome Diseases
 Known to Medical Science.


 Known to Medical Science.
 This troublesome disease, popularly known as ''the itch," is caused by a minute insect-GcGTUs Scabiei-that inds It's way into the epiderrnis, OF 5carf-skin, and thence burrows into he true skin beneath, where it depos- ts it's eggs In Boston and vicinity, at least, the disease has greatly increased within the last few years.
 Dr. White, professor of dermatolo- y in Harvard University, in a con- muuication to the Boston Medical and surgical Journal, from which we bor- row some of the facts in this article, avs that when he was at the medical cEool, i853-6, he did not see e single case Of the disease, and graduated wholly ignorant of it's symptoms.
 But in 1884 there were ninety eight cases at the Massachusetts General do5pital; the next year, one hundred and one; the next. one hundred and wenty-three; last year, one hundred and sixty-fve. At the Boston Dispen- sary for Skin Diseases there was a similar increase, and also in Prof. Whites private practice. Moreover, he malady is now not confined, as for .nerly, to the poor and dirty.
 During the civil war the enlistment )f recent immigrants and the condi- ions of camp-life occasioned its prev 1ence as an epidemic in the army, Ehence it spread among all classes in ociety. It 2. adualiy disappeared from his part of the country, but immigra- ion. nursing-girls from abroad and eturning drovers have kept open the ources of contagion.
 Dr. White does not think, how yer, that immigration accounts for |; present increasing prevalence. He 3ys: 1t is not impossible that the cowding of operatives in the large -orking establishments of our cities, Id the multitude Of commercial ravelers in all parts of the country ew features in our social life--may resent more favoring chances for the evelopment of the disease than for 1erly existed. ''
 It is very contagious, and is con- ayed from one person to another by ie eggs of the acarus. These first jmptoms appear in from ten days to a 2rtnight. These symptoms are an ching. toward evening, generally on re hands, arms, abdomen and thighs. fbis soon becomes general, though it ,oe5 not attack the face and head.
 The most frequent form of eruption in minute pimp!es sprinkled loosely )ver the surface, chiefly On the fore rms, abdomen and thighs. Less com- non are rounded elevations of the pidermis, from the size Of Q pin-head 9 that of 0 split pea, filled with a npid fluid, found specially between he fingers.
 II the rhysician with his microscope ces the track through the epidermis urrowed by the female. .aoarus on her :ay to the skin beneath. he can dis miss all doubt as to the character of 5he aiIment. The treatment should be under the direction of a physician. Youths Companion.

The World and Chance.

How often might g man after he had jumbled Q set Of letters into a bag fling them out upon tho ground before they would fall into an exact poem, yea, or so much as make 2 good dis course in prose. And may not little book be as easily made by chance as this great volume of tho world? How long might man be sprinkling color5 Epon canvas with q careless hand be- fore they could happen to make the exact picture of Q man? And is man easier made by chance than his picture? How long might twenty thousand blind men, who should be sent out from several remote places in our country, wander up and down before they would meet upon the Rappahannock and fall into rank aud f.e in the exact order of an army? And yet this is more easy to be imag- ined than how the innumerable blind parts of matter should rendezvous themse,ves into world.-N. I. Ledger.

 Mrs. Conkling, widow Of the late Roscoe Conkling, has one Of the most lnique ornaments iu tke country.
 Iti a Iockes of exquisite design and ra-s workmanship, the delicate enameling nearly as lustrous as the brilliant that encrusts its surface. Aside from its intrinsic value it has an authentic historical one, and is in- vested with a sacred sentiment to it's gracious owner as the last souvenir" bestowed upon her by her gifted hus- band.
 The ornament was executed from an original design and under the imperial suggestion and supervision of Napo- con L Though the m1nd of the En- peror was engrossed with mighty projects, he took lively interest in its manufacture. and on it's comple tion was great y gratifed with the re- suit. He held it in especial regard After his death it was found among his effects, and in their sale, by some chance, fell into the hands Of a New York gentleman of fortune, who on one occasion exhibited it to Mir. Conk- ling, who was an extravagant admirer Of rare jewels.
 He asked many questions about it, and, though he had not too much money, he was filled with an ardent desire and determination to possess the locket.
 1T must have it for Mrs. Conkling," he said, imperiously; ''she has such delicate fancy in such trifes. Her judgment is wonderfully discriminat- ing; she will be delighted with it; you must let me have 1t for ber!"
 His friend generously presented him with the locket he coveted, but ho de- ciiped to receive so valuable Q gift
 For Mir. ConkIing to desire 8 thing. however, was to sooner or later ac- iuire it, and after much persuasion he ucceeded in purchasing the jewel. 4 few weeks before his death the locket reached Mrs. Conkling. Not long after he met an intimate friend from Utica.
 '.Eas Mrs. Conkling shown you her wonderful locket?" he asked, eagerly.
 '.No. I havo been too busy to go around to the house." The great statesman looked disappointed.
 GO around as soon as you get tome," he said. Il want you to see l." As the last gift of her husband. nd the evidence of his affectionate de- re to give her pleasure, the Ioclet of he Emperor is the most cherished .mong drs Conkl ng's many jewels

Here is Q good recipe for washing soap. The ingrelients.cost one doIlar. Ten pounds Of hard soap cut in small pieces, four ounces borax, three ounces sulphate of soda; dissolve in five gal Ions of soft water. When disso. yed, let it cool, then put it into wooden iirl1in or tub. This will make fifty pounds of thick soap. One pound will do large washing. It i5 best to soak the white clothes over night. The soap must be dissolved in hot water before using.

INVOLUNTARY MANsLAUGHTER.
Can James Stansbury Be Punished for
killing Patrick McGovern?

Can James StanSDury Be PunISneu IOr
killing Patrick McGovern?
The case of the State against James
Stansbury for manslaughter, tried in the
Court of General Sessions this morning
turned upon the legal point as to what
under the law constitutes involuntary
manslaughter.
Michael Sammais and Charles Grim
minis were called by the State to prove
that Patrick McGovern was shot by. a
bullet from pistol in the hands of the
defendant in McGonnells saloon on the
morning of February 19. The story as
they told it, was that early on the morn
ing mentioned McGovern went into the
saloon named and began to joke and
''foop with the prisoner, who was a bar
tender in the place. Stansbury said:--
going behind the Bar picked up a five
chambered defender" revolver and
shook it in his hand while the hammer
was up until the weapon went off and a
bullet crashed through the victims head.
He fell to the floor; was taken to the
of the witnesses declared that there was
no ill-feeling manifested and expressed
their belief that the shooting was purely
accidental.
Stansbury, the defendant, gave the
most damaging evidence himself.
Il did 1t just TO 1rlgnten MIN, SAID he.
s'The hammer was up, but, !" he added in
a choking manner, "Pd sooner take it me-
self than harm him."
In summing up for the defendant ex-
Alderman Salinger claimed that Nc
Governs death resulted accidentally.
''When the Legislature makes it law
to hang all the fools who play with fire.
arms and cause the death of others, it
will do good thing" remarked Prose
cutor Winfield in speaking for the State;
and he claimed that by the evidence of
the defendant himself sufficient careless
ness was shown to make out involuntary
manslaughter.
The charge of the Court was decidedly
in favor of the view of the case assumed
by the Prosecutor. The jury rendered
verdict of involuntary manslaughter.

COLONEL DICKINSON IN COMMAND.

He Took Formal Possession of the POST
office This Morning.
Colonel Samuel d. Dickinson is Post
master now. He has learned to fly and
is full fledged federal once holder.
Saturday night and yesterday morning
Postmaster Kelly and Assistant Post
master O'Donnen went to t&< post office,
and, after taking account of T'ock, paid off
all the clerks, carriers a.td other en-
ployees and turned over the post office to
the gallant Colonel, who signed receipts
for between thirteen and fourteen
thousand dollars worth of stamps, enyel-
opes, postal cards, newspaper wrappers,
and so forth and so on.
Yesterday morning the heads of the
sub-stations made their appearance and
were formally introduced to their new
chief. Salaries were paid in full up to
this morning, when Colonel Dickinson
took formal possession of the Office.
Mr.. O'Donnell, the Assistant Postmas-
Carriers, handed in their designations,
and their places were Immediately filled
by the appointment of William Ely and
William G. Brose.
Mr.. Ely has been employed as chief
clerk in the City Treasurers office, and
Mr.. Brose was an Erie Railroad detective.
Colonel Dickinson says that he has
made no other changes and that he does
not intend to make any for some time, at
any rate. M
Iwent around to see the new Postmaster
this morning, and found him sitting at his
table in the new wing of the building
looking very comfortable in the handsom-
est suit of clothes in Jersey City
"Yes," said he, II am Postmaster now,
and / have met all the employees, and
everything is going along all right. Mr..
Kelly has been most kind in giving me all
the assistance he could, and in explaining
the routine.
81 suppose it will take six months to
learn the business of the office, but Mr..
Kelly's admirable system will make it
far easier than it might have been. Both
he and Mr.. O'Donnell were here this
morning, and they kindly offered to come
down and help me out if anything un-
usual occurs before have got used to the
methods of the Office"
