Two Instances Of Luck.

Speaking of luck" said Senator
Vest to Washington Post writer, Il
will tell you story to which another
man in this company can bear witness.
One dav, while I was in Richmond as
member of the Confederate Congress,
I lost roll of money, my pay for the
month, somewhere in the street on my
wav from the War Office to the hotel.
I called a few fellows together and
went on what seemed to be o hopeless
quest through the dimly-lighted and
snow-covered streets. The chances
were a thousand to one against sue
cess; but we hadn't been out fifteen
minutes before young Lieutenantwho
who was in our party stopped down
and pick up the money. We all talked
about our friends good luck-but see
how quickly fortune can turn another
face. l was in high glee and wanted
to treat. The searching party now
went in search of a place of refresh
ment, but it was after midnight and it
was a good while before we found a
place open. At length, however, we
were piloted to 8 saloon to when,
pending some repairs, access was had
from tie street only by ladder of
about dozen rungs. We all climbed
up, considering it a lark I was good
deal younger in those days., and after
having some refreshment climbed out
again. Would you believe it? The
lucky fellow who had found my money
missed his footing, fell. and III that fall
of ten or twelve feet broke his neck
and was instantly killed.

a Talking Crow.

The family of Mr.. William Scar
borough, who live at Randolph's grove,
have had in their possession for some
time very curious, and, it might have
been, valuable pet. 1t was a COM
mon crow, as black as any of it's fel-
lows, and just as noisy, but it had this
distinguishing feature, it could talk.
The crow was captured while yet in its
infancy from the nest by the Scar
boroug ghs asd raised by them. It was
taught to sing a moro civilized song
than the mere cawing OF. the crow and
could speak several words very dis
tinctly. It's common habit was to
perch itself in tree not far from the
house and offer passers by the uncere-
monious salutation of "Get out, dogs, !"
and other sayings equally startling: Its
articulation was remarkably distinct,
and at first notice could not be dis
tinguished from the human voice. The
crow was a great pet, as pet crows are,
and, though it lived near the woods
never staid from its adopted home
longer than few hours at a time. 1t
would sometlmeS 60 FlSltlnS w Iue
neigkbors but always returned home in
due season.
The death of the crow happened
recently, and It was remarkable as its
life. It had been missed from the
place two or three days and, although
search was made for it, it could not be
found. At last it was discovered in q
we'll, where it had fallen. In its at
tempt to get out it would strike the
windlass, and so be forced down again.
Mr.. Scarborough's family mourn the
loss of their pet very much, as it was
a very sociable companion, and, as it
was very well known throughout the
vicinity, is missed by the nelghbors as
well.-Bloomington PantagrapA.

Murdered in Masailand.

The Revue FraneXse of Paris had
letter from Zanzibar which says that
over year ago a caravan OF 800
Arabs left the east coast to 60 into the
interior to trade. They have now re-
turned, and one Of the chiefs relates their
adventures. Arriving at Kavirondo,
on the northest shores of Victoria
Nvanza, the Arabs saw that the natives
had good deal Of ivory and that they
had no guns. They attacked the tribe,
and before the shooting had gone on
long the natives were willing to do any
thing to make peace.
After long palaver with the chiefs
the Arabs agreed to leave the country
upon the payment to them of 200 tusks
of ivory and 200 young women. The
natives were glad to get rid OF the
enemy even on these hard conditions.
AS soon as they received the ivory and
the women the Arabs started for the
coast. They had a terrible time in
the Masia country. There was q
drought, and they almost perished
from thirst. Then provisions became
scarccr and scarcer, and the whole
party was ir danger of starvation.
Finally the Arab chiefs decided that in
order to save themselves and their
ivory it would be necessary to sacrifice
their female slaves, who were very
weak from their depriyations and could
march no further.
.~'hat night all Of these 200 young
women were shot to death. and their
bodies were left in the camp for beasts
of prey. The victims happily had not
a moments warning of their impend-
ing fate. Each murderer selected his
victim, and the horrible crime was ac-
complished so speedily that few Of the
women made any outcry. With their
forces thus reduced the Arabs were
able to pull through the desert region.
obtaining little more food than barely
enough to sustain life.
The chief who related these facts in
Zanzibar showed no compunctions
whatever for the terrible crime in
which he had assisted, but mentioned
the massacre only to give an idea OF
the great loss they had sustained by
the necessary sacrifice of their 200
slaves. It is curious fact that some
of the murderers were greatly troubled
in mind because their necessities had
compelled them to eat rats and othez
unclean food, which is prohibited 10
Mohammedans. on the march.

HOW 1T FEELS TO BE SHOT.
An Old Soldier Tells IIis Experience with
4 Confederate Ball.

A Rhode Island soldier, Lieut.. Geo.
B. Peck Jr., in his story of Recruit
Before Petersburg" describes the eX-
pelienceS and observations when first
| under fire. He felt curious, he Says, to
see how men behaved in such clrcum-
stances. They took all manner of po-
sitions, and was especially amused to
observe how some of them :,;:':h"1
their heads as the bullets flew pas.
But ali at once whit sped a bullet by
his own ear. down went his own head,
and he laughed no more at hts COM
rades. The enemy proved tc be too
strong for them and retreat was or
dered.

when felt dull blow in the neigh
borhood of my left hip. realized that
I was shot. and was at once curious as
to the amount Of damage. l looked
down and saw that the hole was too
fur to one side to implicale the groin.
Forgetting a possible severed artery,
threw my weight on my left leg and,
finding no bones broken, began to
laugh as the ludicrousness of the affair
flashed upon me.
You're never hit till you run, was
my first reflection, and my second:
'tThrec weeks, lacking one day, and
in the hospital! Such is glory
Do you want to know how it feels to
be shot? Ask your brother to step in
to the yard some bright February day
when the water is running freely in
the streets, scoop a handful of snow
from the top of the nearest bank, spat
it once only with the hand at right
angles, and hurl with ordinary force
from distance of twelve feet. The
dulk spreading sensation will be suffi-
ciently accurate.
| got across the creek, and after
trudging on spell, using my sword
for a cane, found myself directly in
front of Capt. Aliens battery.
At the rear of this began to inquire
for the hospital, and finally had little
farmhouse pointed out to me. Twenty
rods this side I met couple of the am
bulance corps.
''Let us assist you," they said.
mo, I can walk
''But let one of US take your arm"
consented and started; but the two
men had to hold ME up for the rest of
the way.
Near the house they laid me on the
grass, and one of them vent for sur
geon.
Where arey you wounded?" he asked.
I showed him.
"Let me examine it."
"What for?n
''To see if bone is broken"
We'll lei some one hold my hands"
An attendant held them, and the
surgeon explored the wound with his
finger-at least he said he did; I felt
nothing.
Lieutenant, you have had a very
narrow escape"
~ am perfectly well aware Of it."
He took my silk handkerchief, rinsed
it thoroughly in cold water, and laid
it on the double wound. That was
all the dressing it received for three
days.
The next thing knew didn't know
much of anything. I was winking and
trying to open my eyes. Soon l dis
covered tree branches and men wear
ing caps. I opened my eyes a little
wider; hearing returned to my ears,
and the cannon's roar restored me to
myself again. Thus it was scraped
acquaintance with the dogs of war.

THE NEW FORCE BILL.
How the Extraordinary Measure is Re-
ceiyed by Southern Republicans.

ceived by Southern Republicans.
lIr. John R. Lynch, the colored
ex-Representative from Mississippi,
and now fourth auditor Of the treas
ury, writes an exceedingly lengthy
communication to the Post in favor
of the proposed federal election law.
Mr.. Lynch is one Of the ablest OF the
colored politicians OF the South, OF
rather he was, for practically Wash
inston has been his abiding place for
a number of years, and the only IN
he appears to take In hisFace Is shea 5ssess
he writes an occasional letter or
makes an occasional speech on South
ern affairs. He is thorough politi-
clan. and professional colored poll
tician can not be expected to give
good advice to his people. There are
no strong points in his argument III
favor of another force bill. 1t pro
ceeas on the old assumption that the
colored voters of the South are never
to have any Liberty Of opinion; but are
to be forever chained To- the hl1a
wheel of the Republican party. In
opposition to Nh. Lynch the voice OF
a great many of the real representa-
tiYes Of his race have been raised
men who have not come to Washing
ton to look for Office, but have stayed
at home and cast their lot with their
own people. But the most signid-
can't circumstance about this whole
matter of new federal election
machinery is to be foundinthe strong
objections raised by many OF the
prominent white Republicans OF the
Southern States. The most sagaclous
and the most respectable of these
questions very seriously the wisdom
and the expediency Of the measure.
Nh. Thomas B. Keogh, of South Caro-
lima, for many years the most lntiuen-
tial Republican of that State, while
in the Office of the Sun Bureau today,
expressed decided dissent to the
policy of any more legislation to
regulate elections in the South: He
said the caucus bill now pending in
the House was needless, that 1t was
plainly unconstitutional, and if en-
acted would entirely fail to accom-
plish the purposes for which IN
tended. Its only effect would be to
disturb harmony and promote il-wil.
He said there was time years ago
when the Republican party in Con-
eress, if it had had the courage,
could have settled the negro question,
and settled it permanently. That
time was passed, and no legislation
which the Republican party may
ever be able to enact can suffice to
repair the errors which it has COM
mitted.-Baltimore Sun.

BATTLING ON BROADWAY.

Striking and Working Cloak Makers
Strike Sure Enough-An Excl ng Scene
: in New York's Chief Thorough are.
New YORK, July "a crowd of
about 200 striking cloak makers
gathered on Broadway between
Leonard and White streets this
morning at the hour when the hands
in the Meyer & Jannassen shops at
334 and the Mercantile Cloak Com
pany's place at 394 Broadway were
going to work. These firms are two
Of the largest in the trade and are
battling in the front row of the EN-
ployers' Association against the strik-
ers' demands. When their employ
ees tried to enter the shops they
were surrounded by strikers who
forbade them with vehement gesticu-
lations to enter. Some were fright
ened away by the crowd and escaped
while those who persisted in the
effort to enter the shops were seized
and hustled away by force. In few
minutes Broadway for two blocks
was the scene Of a dozen running
fights. For short time the strikers
had it their own way but soon the
assailed men pluckily fought back.
AS q consequence damaged heads
among the strikers were plentiful.
The working cloak makers, however,
generally got the worst Of it. Around
Meyer & Janassen's shops the war
ragged the most fercely. A dozen
strikers caught Charles Butler, stock
clerk, and dragged him backward off
the steps and maltreated him.
Jos. Lerberger, buyer for the house,
was beaten. An old operator named
Quincy was set upon and so badly
beaten that he hadto be driven home
in g. cab.
William Wisner, another operator,
received several scalp wounds. He
was taken to the Chambers Street
hospital for treatment. Neither pis-
tolls nor knives were used IN the
melee, the only weapons being hrsts
and clubbed umbrellas.
When the police arrived in force
they had no difficulty in dispensing
the mob. They used their clubs
freely. Mr. Moorcroft, of the cloak
firm, said he hadno idea that violence
would be used. He had supplied the
places Of the strikers, he said, and
work was progressing as usual.
