dashed NEARLY TO DEATH.
A Negro Convict Near New Orleans Given
2I5 Blows on the Bare Back.

New Orleans dispath: William Miller,
an ex-convict, has been admitted to the
charity hospital, and tells frightful
story of the brutality to which convicts in
Captain" Shachez's convict camp in
Catahoula parish are subjected. When
the surgeons examined Miller they found
that the skin and portions of the flesh had
been terribly lacerated from the middle OF
his back down TO his knees. He
had been logged until the flesh
hung in the shreds. 1t was found
that he could not lie on or support
covering on his back, and il was necessary
TO place a wooden rack over him to pre-
vent the sheets from touching his flesh.
Miller stated that he had been convicted OF
petit larceny and sentenced TO ten months
hard labor at Sanchez's camp. Before
the expiration of his term he incurred the
enmity of another negro, who toll San
chez Miller had threatened TO kill him,
and Sanchez ordered another convict TO
give Miller 2i5 lashes on the bare back
with n heavy wagon trace Miller tainted
after the first fifty lashes, and when he
was dressed afterward great pieces of flesh
were torn from his back Miller says that
other convicts are terribly beaten and in
humanity treated.

Egypt is now threatened with incursion
by $1,000 Bedouins. who have hitherto
main tanned an inofTensive attitude. The
cause OF the present movement is the re-
fusal OF the Egyptian Government to grant
certain tribal claims in regard to land.
Though differing widely from the systems
of land tenure prevalent among the nations
which call themselves civilized. the Gus
toms of the Bedouins in regard to land oc-
cupancy are well defined, and any infringe
ment upon them is bitterly resented.
