 It is stated that the Orient express train, running between Paris and Vienna, seldom has an applicant on Fridays for the thirteenth compartment of the ladies' Pullman sleeping car. The cars are always reserved before hand, but the numbered tickets are only dis tributed at the last moment. In spite of this precaution, however, No. 13 of the ladies' tickets on that day of the week is almost in- variably returned; and the train, although otherwise crowded, has to travel with one berth empty. Ladies have got SO far that they will dare No. 13 or Friday alone, but the two together they cannot swallow.
 The new South hasn't forgotten all the old ways. The following artistic report of an event of importance in the social life of the staid old capital of Alabama appears in the columns of the Montgomery Evening Jour- nal: The fighting in the cock pit at the expo- sition grounds was very interesting to cock fighters last night. Col. F. E. Grist of Fort Gaines, Georgia, fought main of five bat ties with Dr. Ghee of Brunswick, Alabama. Col. Grist pitted five of his "Henry Grady Georgia Champions" against five of Dr. ahee's famous "Ghee Domineckers," hereto fore considered inyincible, and won four oi the five fights. To lovers of this kind oi sport the battles were very interesting, az Dr. Ghee's cocks have a national reputation, and so have the "Grist's Champions" Each of the celebrated cookers pitted his own cocks, and two more perfect gentlemen never handled cock in a.pit, but ;t was battle of the giants, and each cocker knew that he had met foeman worthy of his steel. Col. Grist is no doubt elated over his victory, and Dr. Ghee takes his defeat like the noble man he is

THE SLAVE TRADE IN AFRICA

The recent important news from Africa has revived the discussion of the slave trade there. M. Spout has recently published some facts which give some idea of the ex- tent which this traffic has attained, and it is asserted that he underestimates it. He be- lieves that it claims from 200, 1000 to 250, ,000 victims annually, while Cardinal Lavigerie, who has studied the question in Algiers, puts the number of those who are each year cara ried into slavery, or who lose their lives in defending themselves, or who perish on the route, at not less than 100000. This does not seem possible, but if even M. Spout's figures are correct the situation is serious enough. These slaves captured in the inte- ricr are sent in great caravans to Morocco, Tripoli, and from the latter country to Tur- key; they are also carried across the Red Sea to Arabia, and from there to Syria, Turkey and Persia. No doubt the rulers of Turkey and Persia would deny that this traffic ex- it's within their domain; but the fact is too notorious to allow an official denial to have any weight, and the Brussels anti-slavery congress will be asked to protest against the use of the steamers of the Ottoman company for conveying these enslaved negroes from northern Africa to Salonica, Constantinople and Smyrna.
 Mir. Spout does not think that military measures will suffice to atop this traffic. He believes the African must be educated to freedom, and this by the establishment of trading stations and the spread of Christian missions. The European traders, he says, who are found everywhere ip Africa. must be influenced to show better example to the natives, to keep him from spirits and fre- arms and to abstain from the use of forced labor, which is simply slavery in disguise. His reform would be the moral regeneration of the African by the development of agricul- ture, the introduction of honest trade, and by prudent conducs on the part of European residents. Only then, he says, will the na- tive bless our Intervention; otherwise, he will throw himself into the arms of Islamism and be lost to the cause of freedom and civ

A CAPTIVE FOR SEVEN YEARS.

Francis Evans' Life Among the Go.
 manche Indians-Stolen While Cross ing the Plains, he Became an Dn willing Member of . Brutal Band.
 From the Chicago Times.l
 Seven strange and adventurous years of captivity among tho wild Comanche Indians of the Southwest ought to furnish material from which the least imaginative of men might weave fine border romance, vivid and thrilling with blood and thunder: Francis Evans. an intelligent and fashion ably dressed young man, who arrived in Chicago from Kansas City . few weeks ago, has had just such wild and hazardous ex perience, but he does not threaten the pub. lie with his autobiography or with wild West novel.
 "There had been great rush to Oklaho. ma since it was opened to settlers" said Mr. Evans the other day, ssand much has beer said about the beauty and fertility of that country, but the reservation of the Co. manche tribes is, think, far ahead of it.
 "The Comanche country was to me almost an El Dorado. In natural richness and beau ty it is veritable paradise. There art mountains and hills, and plains and beauti full valleys, green grass, shrubbery and tim Der in great abundance, deer, antelope and many kinds of smaller game. Lovely streams wind through the valleys and fra
 
 the year round. The Comanche reservation is in the southwest corner of Indian Territo. ". It is bounded on the south by the Red river, on the north by the Washita river, on the east by the Chiekasaw Nation, and or the west by the pan handle of Texas and tht north fork of Red river. Three different tribes share the land-the Comanches, tht Apaches and the Kowas-and they eacf speak different language.
 1T suppose you would like to hear how was captured by the Comanches and how | found life among them years ago, when they were less peaceable than now. My father who formerly lived in Burlington, Iowa, wa moving his family from Black Hawk, Col. across the hills and plains to Galveston some twelve years age. was thirteen year of age when I fell into the hands of the In dians. I remained captive among then | for seven years and was given up by m, father and mother for dead. To all intent and purposes, as well as in appearance, be came a real Comanche. My hair was neve l cut and my complexion became almost 8 red as that of any young buck. spok l their language and wore their dress.

 Complaint is made that pennies are be. coming scarce in the South and West, and it is predicted that unless something Is done pennies will be scarce everywhere within siz months. This should not be allowed tc happen. Ot course the United States can not give everybody all the dollars they want but it is net too much to ask that pennies enough for convenient use be provided.
