Wonderful Ruins OF Iimbabwe.
TScribner

visited the ruins of Zimbabwe, rather moro
than Is miles to the southeast of Victoria. A
few hours ride through charming country
brought US to high mountain upon which we
could see extensive Notifications. The natives
poured down, armed with bows and arrows
and assegais, to greet us. The chief, after ex-
tracing a wastcoat, pound of powder, and
half dozen yards of calico from us, sent his
son to guide us to the ruins. Following foot
path round the western base Of the mountain,
we found ourselves in an open hill-inclosed
space and close in front was the wonderful,
mysterious circular building the most impos-
ing of these puzzling ruins. The southeast
face, which was evidently the front, is the
most carefully finished, the curve of the walls
being perfect. The masonry is very good, and
considering the materials used would be
credit to any master builder of to-day.
The whole structure is faced, both inside and
ont, with fat pieces Of granite which have faxed
naturally from the immense outcrops In the vi
cinity. These fat fiakings have been broken
into equal-siZed slabs about foot long by nine
inches broad and about an inch thick. The
walls are 30 feet high and of immense thick
ness, tapering toward the top. | don't
know how thick they would be at the base;
bnt two bullock wagons could stand abreast on
the top. They are not plumb. but curve out
ward like the sides Of bowl. Though none
of the stones are hewn or shaped, the walls are
beautifully finished; and nowhere is there o
space into which could get my little finger.
No mortar was used. So perfect is the state of
preservation that the structure might have
been raised yesterday. No sign of the wear
and tear of time on the stone the edges sharp
as if just broken off the parent slab.

CHAT WITH CONTRIBUTORS.

Violet, J. L. w. and Hal Hazard have favored
US with acceptable contributions during the
week.-We are exceedingly sorry to learn Of
the serious trouble which friend J. l. w. has
had lately. His two children have had the
scarlet fever, aud he has suffered from whoop-
ing cough. recent letter from him, how
ever, assures us that all Of the sick ones are on
the rapid road TO recovery, and wo sincerely
hope that such an affection may not belall him
again.--Kate K. Collins will please send US
her address, so that We may properly forward
her prize.-Violet is welcome addition to
our corps Of contributors. and we hope to hear
from her o. often.-Tunste's allusiOn to our
use Of PcnnsyldeIphia and Itami as two distinct
solvers in our list IS the first intimation we
have had of the fact that these two names be-
longed to one party. We received solutions
with both of these names attached to them, and
naturally presumed that the names were those
of two different pOsers-Nyas calls our at
tenton to the fact that our last issue was a
peculiar one, inasmuch as it contained four
flats; a total of IL puzzles. and the number of
the issue was IL, thus forming the notable COM
bination of 4. ii and 44.-This issue must
surely be Respondent as it is set with damon is.
Numbers 43i and 435 are in our estimation,
the most brilliant gems.

Obstacles to the Cure of Disease.


A disease is incurlble when its causes work
without interruption. Malaria induces
ncurably chronic condition if the infected per-
son does not leave the imprcgnated marshland
OF his residence. A bronchial catarrh con-
tinues stationary, and at last draws the lungs
into sympathy with it if the person attacked
by it remains constantly exposed to dusty
atmosphere. With like snddennes5 and energy
of the causes Of disease. with like continuance
Of the local processes, the individuals power Of
resistance, the vigor of his constitution are i'm
portant factors in determining the outcome. A
vigorous 30 years-old man viii overcome an
Inflammation of the lungs which would be fatal
to an old man, to a drinker, or to a man weak
ened by luxury or life of dissipation or suf-
fering. Finally, "crimen non est artis sed
segroti the fault is not of the art, but OF the
patients the phrase that may be applied to
those cases in which the most correct measures
taken under favorable circumstances fail to
accomplish their purpose, because the patient
himself does not or cannot cooperate with
them. No treatment can relieve the smoker
from his throat eatarrh, so long as he persists
in his habit. This aspect of the case is espe-
cialy pertinent to the nervous disorders which
are one OF tho growing scourges OF our age;
incapacity and vacil!ation, the force of outer
influences, or the pressure of bust ness too often
intervene to interrupt cure which was other
wise fairly possible

Bruin and the Butcher.


An organ-grindcr who was travelling through
the west Of England, accompanied by q tame
brown bear, which he had trained to dance,
stopped at farmers house late one afternoon
and after greatly amusing the family by his
performance-for his organ was fine one and
the bear very dOCiie and ntelligent-he had
no difficulty in obtaining permission to stay all
night He himself was given bed in the
boys room, but his furry companion had to be
content with a snug corner in the barn.
A little after midnight there came such
alarming noises from the barn, which was only
a few PAGES away, as to waken everybody in
the house. Frantic shreks of " Help! Help!!
Murder -" and sounds as of strong man
struggling desperately for dear life issued out
upon the still night air.
Hurredly drawing on some clothes the
farmer snatched mp lantern, and, followed,
by the organ grinder, fastened to the barn. On
the doors being thrown open, the rays of the
lantern revealed large man engaged III furI-
Gus wrestling match with the bear, from whose
mighty embrace he was vanly endeavoring to
escape. AS the bear muzzled, and had no
claws to speak of, his victim stood in no danger
of serious injury. But his position was alarming
enough notwithstanding and he implored the
farmer to come to his rescue.
Divinug, however. that this midnight Wis
itor's mission was dishonest one, for which he
deserved to be well punished, the organ grinder
called out to his pet Hug him, Jack hug
him." and the BEAR evidently enjoying the
sport, continued to squeeze the man unmerci
fully, until the farmer, thinking the rogue had
suffered sufficiently, got the bears owner to
command his release.
1t turned out that Bruins captive was a ras
cally butcher who had come to steal fine calf
In the darkness he had stumbled over the bear.
and was at once made prisoner. The farmer
was SO delighted at the animals conduct that

South American RenuhIics.

ut is amazing how little we, as people
know of the history and the affairs of our near
est neigh ors," says the Hon. William Eleroy
Curtis, Chief of the Bureau Of American Re-
publics. in an article in the NeW England Maya
zine. with the events OF the Old World we
are tolerably familiar, from the time the SER
pent entered Eden to the latest eviction of an
Irish tenant, or the latest scandal on the Ri
yiera, but cloud of ignorance has hung over
the southern half OF this hemisphere, and until
recently we have known but little Of the prog
ress or the condition OF 50,000000 of people
whose aspirations have been similar 10 our own
and whose advancement in civilization and
commercial prosperity have been their pride
and their glory. A Justice of the Supreme
Court once asked me what language was spoken
in Chile and United States Senator in a pub
lie address alluded TO Guatemala as country
Of South America. Until recently the books
used in our schools had not been corrected for
more than a quarter Of century. The same
wild borses that rOamed, with flowing names
and foaming nostrils, over the pampas of the
Argentine Republic when our fathers studied
geography, still embellished the textbooks
notwithstanding the fact that they disappeared
long before the buffalo of Kansas; and the
familiar picture OF the bellies of Lima that
ornamented the picture books Of the last gen.
Grafton still remained TO misrepresenta people
that receive their fashions from Paris quite as
soOE and quite As anxionsly as the women of
Boston or New York. The citizens Of Central
and South America have been properly sensi-
tive to our Ignorance and Indifference. but they
have treated Us with liberation and forbear-
ance that ought TO make us ashamed; and now
that our attention has been diverted in their
direction by self-interest, they receive US with
q cordiality and hospitality that demand a
grateful acknowledgment"

Chicago and Its Battle.

IN the year 1853, Tonty says in his Memoir
g arrived at the Fort OF Chicaeou where NJ
De Ia Durantave commanded" This was the
first fort here of which we have any account
and was probably stockade structure by
Durantaye in 1855 Tonty also marched from
the Illinois with IS Frenchmen and 200 In
dams to take part in this campaign, and accord
ing to one account he came by the way of
Chicago and mustered some recruits here, per
baps from the garrison of the fort. He led his
party accros the country to Detroit, where he
met Du1autaye and two other famous pioneers,
La Foret and Daniel Greysolon Du Lhut, from
whom the present city of Duluth takes its
names. They had large body of French and
Indians from the upper lakes, and the united
force pushed on to Niagara and joined the Gov
ernor- Generals army at the rendezvous on the
southern shore OF Lake Ontario near the Seneca
country. Two thousand five hundred men
marched through the Wilderness toward the
great town of the Senecas. with Dnrantaye,
Tonty and Lhut, and their cOarierS de b0fS IN
the van. IN the narrow defile the advance,
separated from the main body, came upon an
ambush of 300 Indian warriors, who closed upon
their rear with yells OF triumph, thinking TINS
detachment 10 be the whole army. But better
leaders for such fray there could not be than
these three intrepid Frenchmen, who held their
wood-gaagers steadily TO their work, until sud
denly through the forest came the main BODY,
headed by four companies of the hghtlng
Carignan regiment and the Senecas suiieniy
the field. Their great town was taken
and destroyed, aud down TO our own time their
descendants knew the scene of their crushing
defeat by the French as Dyagodiyu, Or :" The
