TAMMANY LEADERS.

Governor Hill returned DO his post Of duty in Albany
which he forsook TO 60 upon his stumping tour
through Ohio and West Virginia, yesterday aftse-
noon, and the state nag on the Hoffman House was
pulled down. The Governor. when he started for A.

vretehed weather which has pursued tho Major SO per-
sstently on his travels yielded little to-day In its
ncemency, and the tross-country journey was fairly
comfortable aud pleasant. Republicans are few and
far between In any part Of Holmes County, and they
arc specially and dfncut to find in the eastern
portion. Nevertheless, Mr.. Mckinley was greeted
kindly and cordially In both towns, and the Repubh
cans Of Mlersburg arranged q special excursion to
Killbuck In the evening to- hear q second time the
popular starke County candidate. The Klllbuck
rstherng was notable in fact for It's size and enhus
asm few Republican meetings held for some time In
this region SURPRISING 1t In numbers or importance
Mr. Mckinley was In his best form and made speech
which drew out the heartlest applause from the audi
ence and won the orator apparently many Democratic
friends. 1t had been arranged that the Major should
speak at Mount Hope and Homesvilc to-day. but the
dates were changed to avoid a conflict with Demo
cratic meetings, and Mount Hope and Holmesvile will
he visited tomorrow. Those two meetings will end
Mr. McKinley's personal canvass In this county. The
Counties, and one large city meeting win be held in
Alliance on Friday night. Representative Burrows
Of Michigan, will also spend few days IN the district
this week.

A South African Weapon.

mentioned the assegai as the weapon
of the Matabeles, writes q correspond
ent Of the New York Sun. The assegai
is a spear or javelin of different form,
size and weight, according to the tribe
to which it belongs, for all South
African natives used, or did use until
recently, the assegai as a weapon of de-
fence. 1t is made Of iron, sometimes
with a straight and sometimes with a
barbed point, so that it cannot be drawn
out OF flesh. Some tribes poison the
tips of their assegeis with an unknown
poison, so deadly a. to cause the death
Of man or beast which it penetrates. 1t
is said that doctors find it impossible to
save the life of any one who has been
wounded with the poisoned assegais OF
the Bushmen. The natives attain won
derful skill in throwing their assegais.
1t is said that the average native can
throw his assegai with almost perfect
accuracy distance Of over fifty yards,
and with force sufficient to cause the
weapon to go through the body Of man.
1t was the assegai that proved so deadly
to the English troops during the Zulu
war. The assegais are much more to be
feared than rifles in the hands of natives.
1t is the custom of natives to creep upon
an enemy and suddenly rush forth in
great numbers and hurl thousands of
assegais, preserving one for hand to
hand combat. This was the case in a
horrible massacre Of the English in the
Zulu war.
