Hairqrsssing and Other Toilet Habits
Of the Dark Continent.
From the Baltimore Sun.
A limited wardrobe, such as BELTS the
climate, may in brief manner be stated as
the general characteristic Of African dress.
What little they wear is, however, in many
cases, peculiar enough 70 merit few words,
and ls sometimes combined with an extraor-
binary furore for improving on nature by
disturbing their otherwise not particu arlY
handsome countenances. Among the Man
gasJas, for example, it Is the head upon
which the greatest elaboration is bestowed.
The most favorite form of d ressing the hair
is to take couple of pieces of wet, plable
hide and shape them into the form of OK or
buffalo horns, after which they are allowed
TO dry. They are then fastened at each side
Of the forehead and the hair trained over
them and plastered into position by means
OF grease and clay. Two horns are the ia
vorite ornament, but sometimes only one is
used; In the latter case the Weerer looks like
black bipedal unicorn.
o hers vary this style OF hairdressing by
twisting up a number Of locks all over the
head into the shape Of miniature horns. 80
as to cause porcupine-like appearance in
the practicer Of this extraordinary style of
headdIess. Pigtails, SO far as their short
"wooP will allow, are also In vogue
among some of this tribe The
women, as might be expected. are
also by no means without fastidiousuess in
dressing and ornamentlng their hair, but
this is quite oyershadowed by another effort
at identifying in which they excel, namely,
in wearing the "nelele" or ring of ivory
metal or bamboo, which is of considerable
size, in their upper lip, the orIfice for it's re-
ception being gradually enlarged from early
girlhood until it can receive the full-size
ring, which, among the Manganjs bellies,
constitutes the acme Of female loveliness
made perfect.
The wearing Of this hideous ornament
alters the whole appearance of the face
and renders it impossible for the women TO
pronounce the labial letters. Hence a
woman in this tribe speaks differently from
the men. Some of the women even tattoo.
but owing to the darkness of their skin this
mode OF decoration cannot get shown to
advantage and is not very popular,
1t is not pleasant to record of
nation SO fond Of dress that they
seemed to be entirely unconscious that in
civilized eyes cleanliness is a virtue which
ranks even higher than tattooing. They
are filthy In the extreme. One old man
denied it was true that he had ever
washed himself he had really done so once,
but it was so long ago that he could not
trust his memory to say how many years
had elapsed since that notable event. 1t is
almost superhuous to add that skin diseases
are, IN consequence, common among them.
and exhibit most persistent and virulent
forms.

INDIAN IRREGULARITIES.
Sensational Rumors of Gross Frauds Perpe.
trated at the Cheyenne Agency.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 1.-THE
Pioneer Press this morning prints the
following dispatch from Huron. S. D.:
Parties here from the Cheyenne In
dian agency bring sensational reports
affecting the affairs there. Inspector
Seasney has been looking into the
business management Of the agency,
and, it is said, discovered a number
of irregularities, among them evil
dences that p. p. Palmer, agent,
his clerk, George B. Shoentelt,
who is son in law of
Palmer, and Interpreter Brenway are
reported to have received several
thousand dollars by false returns to
the government in the purchase of
cattle from the Indians. 1t is alleged
that they paid only about one-half the
amount permitted by the government,
but that their vouchers called for the
full amount. Hay was purchased,
it is charged at from 81 to So
per ton, returns being made to the
government at SO per ton. 1t is said
that Schoenfieldt has admitted that
he has received in this way between
$500 and 81 900, and that those asso-
ciated with him have had like
amounts. Other items of irregularity
have been discovered, it is said, and
as the investigation progresses more
are likely to come to light. Inspector
Seasney will make thorough inves-
ti%ation. There are numerous rumors
atloat concerning the affair, some of
them very sensational.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 11.-Near
Lagarto, an isolated little town in
Live Oak county, one night last week
occurred very peculiar and distress
ing murder. Antonio Vera and Sa-
bastian Torres well to do Mexican
rancheros loved a girl named Chiquita
Flores. Vera first met Chiquita,
courted her and was to marry
her, Wl9l ia. I'll
of cattle was sold. Torres appeared
on the scene. He came from Southern
Mexico and wore the picturesque dress
of that section. He was handsome
young fellow with plenty of money.
He bought large pasture and stocked
it. The girl grew infatuated with
him. Her lover demonstrated with
her in vain. He famed with jealousy;
finally he plotted on seemingly
friendly terms with Torres; he invited
HIM to pass the night at his bachelor
quarters. Torres accepted, promising
to call at the house at 10 O'Clock,
! alUer lnlSnnS call upon SenorlIit
Flores. Vera got drunk and went to
his ranch little after the appointed
time. He entered his room. Only
the starlight was shining through the
windows, but he could see the form of
ferris lying on the bed. He placed a
winchester to the ear of his sleeping
rival, blew out his brains and cody
lit a lamp, holding it near the corpse.
He was petritied to see the blood
stained remains of Maso Ventro, an
intimate friend. AS it appears, in the
evening Torres suspected foul play
and induced Nentro to take his place
as the guest Of the dispossessed lover,
having first literally loaded him with
mescal. Torres has disappeared. The
girl is still at her fathers ranch. Vera
has surrendered, and unless he finds
means of suicide will undoubtedly
hang.
