MUTILATED THE ENVOY.
The King Of Gambia Sends Back the
Englishman in Bits.

News has been received in London, from
Bathurst, West Africa, capital of the British
colony of Gambia, that the native King of
Gambia has committed number of depre-
dations and inflicted abuses from which the
British colonists were sufferers.
In consequence of this the British Govern.
OF of Gambia, Gilbert Thomas Carter. C.
III. G.. sent an envoy up the Gambia River
to the town where the native King makes
his headquarters
This envoy was charged with thu mission
o. informing the King that he must behave
himself or it would be necessary for the
Queen's Government to discipline him.
The Gambian monarch would seem to have
resented this curt message, inasmuch as he
seized and bound her Majesry's representa-
tive, and after giving decided proof of his
interest in the study OF human anatomy by
cutting away portions Of the cheeks and
thighs of the unfortunate envoy, sent the re-
mainder of tnat gentleman, together with
the pieces of flesh cut from his body, back to
Governor Carter.
The insolent savage somewhat unnecs-
sarily informed the Governor that this was
the Kings answer"
Three British gunboats have already as
cended the Gambia River to avenge the out
rage.

butter and cannot be dissolved in it.
Therefore = is useless to put the salt in

be dissolved in the milk and washed ous

To salt the butter in the churn is to put
in the salt when the milk has been
washed completely from the butter and
this is in fine granular condition. H.
Is no saving of time or labor and is NOT
so convenient as sailing in the bowl or

that so highly civilized q country as the

Of Justice and morality. This last remark
was greeted with much applause
