tinacious the small boys and outsiders in
climbing up on deck, and so odorous the
atmosphere that We were more than once
compelled to resort to the extreme measure
of pulling the connecting string of the whis-
tie; but the relief so gained was only tempor-
ary, for the retreating wave OF human beings
soon reformed on the high bank, and sweep
ing back with renewed force, threatened to
submerge US under perfect deluge OF un-
gratifed demands for more beads and cow
ries.
In the midst of this confusion old Eseki-
yaka arrived on board with grass switch
TO keep off flies and inflict corporal punish
ment on the small boys who ventured too
near his august person. He had already
presented us with fine tusk of ivory on our
having sealed our friendship by an admix-
ture of blood, and he now came to see what
we were worth, while discharging the obli-
cations of African etiquette by returning
our mornings visit. We gave orders to
clear the decks of all would-be bead and
cowrie buyers. and to hoist the anchor at
tached to the little windlass in the bows pre-
paratory to moving out into mid-stream,
where we might discuss matters at our
leisure with the old chief.
THE OLD CHIEF FRIGHTENED.
Esekiyaka, however, seeing the prepara-
tions for departure. made a rush for the
side and was overheard into the first canoe
before we had time to stop him, while his
suite followed suit, many jumping into the
river in their haste to escape. 1t required
our repeated assurances that we had no in
tention of departing suddenly with him
on board, and the present of an empty tin
of Huntley & Palmer's 'cuddy" biscuits to
induce Esekiyaka to venture on the Florida
again.
He informed US that formerly Malinga
had been very rich in ivory, great stores of
it having accumulated from different raids
made up to the headwaters of the river, but
that only two years previously the men of
Lulungu had come up with 100 war canoes
and many guns; that his people being only
armed with spears and bows and arrows,
had been beaten, and numerous captives
taken by the victorious Lulungus, who,
after their victory, retired with their pris-
oners to the island opposite the village.
From this point they had opened up nego-
tiations with the remnant of Malinga in
their retreat in the woods for the purchase
back of their relatives by giving up all their
concealed stores OF ivory to the raiders. So
it came about that Malinga was now with
out anything to offer US.
But" added the old chief, 81 can give you

you with, for we dare hardly leave our walls

On arriving at Esekiyaka's, the chiefs
house, we found him waiting for us in the
midst of crowd of similarly attired and
marked savages to those we had met at the
little fishing village lower down, all armed
with spears and shields, while in their
girdles Clistened the copper handles of long,
bright-bladed knives which rested on the
thigh.
These knives, when they talked among
themselves as the savages often did during
our interview with the chief, they would
grasp in their hands and emphasize every
point of their speech by the wave of bright
blade through the air, and the flash of its
copper handle as they pointed it at their
neighbor. The effect of this glittering
metal, added to the repulsIve and hideousiy
marked features of all who gazed upon us,
showing dirty, discolored rows of tiled teeth
as they smiled % back on us-and above
all, the odor OF unwashed bodies, not to
mention cannibal orgies, which the leering.
cruel look we met at every turn too plainly
revealed that these people often INDUCED
in, was to make us wish ourselves little
further of Malinga and out in the pure
breezes of mid-stream.
However, the rites OF blood brotherhood
were soon performed, our pale-skinDed arms
contrasting with the rich brown Of the mus
cular old Esekiyaka's as we barred them to
the shoulder, while the little knife used on
these occasions punctured the skin Just be-
low the elbow, causing blood to flow.
We were on the point o: returning to the
Florida, when a: tremendous clamor arose
from the direction of the barricade, and
shouting out that the Lufembi were upon
them. Every man rushed off to the stock
ade, brandishing spear and knife Only
Esekiyaka and one or two of his aged coun-
sellors remained behind, and 1 had nv
hands full endeavoriDg to pacIfy Paddy and
keep him from following after the rushing
crowd of excited Malinga warriors (Snooks
and Spot being in full cry at their heels),
who, feared, would leave in Paddy's iron
jaws, ii he once got on their track, more real
cause for canine satisfaction than their float
ing tails of monkey-skin or fur.
A MANIA FOR BEADS.
The alarm. however, proved to be false
one. In few minutes the crowd resur-
rounded us, grinning and leering, so we
thought it advisable to retire from the
chiefs presence and take up our quarters Oh
the oredeck of the Florida, where we were
speedily besieged by a elamoring, bowling
crowd, endeayoring to get near enough 10
exchange their spears, knives, shields and
any brass rods they might possess for small
blue, white and pink beads, or cowrie
shells. So dense became the crowd, so per-

RESCUE OF THE RUNAWAY.
The engineer rushed to stop the engines
One or two of the black men jumped over
board and swan back toward the head we
could perceive bobbing up and down far
behind US. Others quickly manned the
canoe alongside and padded off to the
rescue. The injured wife, who was as Wig
orous a swimmer as debater, struck off full
speed, hand over hand down stream. For a
few moments there was quite an exciting
little chase, until she was overtaken,

last camping place, or else she had made up
her mind to strike one last desperate blow
for woman's rights on board the Florida.
The amicable wrangle between husband and
wife had continued for some time in the
stern of the ship, and insult after insult,

A New Cure for Rheumatism.

Mr.. J. f. Meighan, the popular Seventh
street cigar dealer, awoke one morning with
an attack of rheumatism in his right arm.
Working around the store during the fore
noon made it worse. By noon the pain was
so severe that he could not raise his hand to
his head and had to carry his arm in a sling
One of his customers, on learning the facts,
went across the street to E. E. Heck's drug
store, and at his own expense procured a
bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and per-
suaded the cigar dealer to try it. 1t eased
the pain and reduced the swelling so that by
the next morning he could use his arm, and
by the second morning was entirely we'll.
This is only one of the many severe cases Of
rheumatism that have been cured by this
valuable remedy. Fifty cent bottles.

yards along the top of steep bank some 10
or Is feet above the river. From the vast con-
course of savages lining the shore, and from
the numbers OF canoes we observed darting
about ahead Of US, we concluded the size of
the village must be much greater than its
river front would have led us to suppose.
A great cry went up from the multitude
as we shot into view, and the emotion they
experienced at the strange sight of the YES
sci putting and painting up against the
current of their river was soon intensified
when the deep boom of her harmony"
whistle rang out over the waters, and the
ludicrous alacritv of the chief who had been
standing on the bank surrounded by the
notabilities of his village to accord us a
dignifed welcome, to quit the scene on the
breaking out of that sound, was only little
less premature than that of the eneircling
crowd of men, women and children.
AN INVITATION TO CALL.
However, we soon restored quiet, and
Elenge Mimic, Bukunu and others of the
more intelligent of the equator natives
jumped on shore and went up in search of
the chief to tell him who we were and why
we had come to his country. They returned
bearing an invitation to US three white men
10 ascend to the chletS abode and become
his blood-brothers. Patsie, my bulldog,
Snooks apd Spot, were already on shore,
having been the first to land, and were
driving great crowds of people before them,
who had never seen beasts such as these, and
who, although they cast longing and glut-
tonous eyes on Patsie's noble proportions,
and the rounded limbs of Spot, who looked
particularly sneering and pufed up with
bloated aristocratic pride among the
wretched canine inhabitants of Malinga,
were warned by the strange look in the
blearY red eye of the former, and the indie
pendent strut of the latter that they were
animals better left untouched.
The three dogs following in our steps, we
soon reached the inclosure of the chief
passing through the most crowded collection
of the smallest huts / ever witnessed in an
African village. On every side stretched
lines of these low grass or paIm-thatched
structures, in narrow streets, and being
rather a tall man l was able to almost see
over the tops of them all. Bounding this
labyrinth OF streets, or maze of beehives 1
might call it, for they buzzed and hummeG

along, rose the high barrier all along the

Marshal made inquiry and was as
sured by several responsible persons
that the order had DEC complied with.

further thought until to-day, when he wal

had been killed. The marshal replied
that he had given orders that Il should he
done, n had since been informed that
the order had been obeyed, adding that IL
he were not satisfied the dog had been
really killed. he would have shot the
animal himself. This reply did not sat
isfy Donnelly, n he rctorted with an In
timation that the marshal had received
money for not killing the animal. The
marshal promptly told Donnelly that he
lied. With this Donnelly struck him In
