fresh leaves are hung, these are fetched
every morning from the woods. Tue
men generally shave away their hair
except a narrow strip above the right
ear. They are very dirty and have an
aversion 20 water; whilst the negroes
are very cleanly-more so, indeed, than
the average European. When they
sleep they draw up their knees and lay
one hand under the head. They keep
up their fires continually; they seem
unable to obtain fire by rubbing sticks
together, and therefore, when they
change their quarters, they take with
them a torch, which they carefully
keep glowing. Their weapon is a small
bow with a string Of rattan.
From their exclusive use Of wood in
making their weapons, we may suppose
the pigmies 10 be still in their most
primitive age Of wood" They have
no domestic animals, except dogs
These are small, Of the color Of yellow
leather, sharp nosed, with upright tri-
angular ears They aid in finding the
game. Whether the pigmies are canni-
balls or not is at present an open ques-
ton. They would seem, however to
be exempt from this practice, for at
the Itun we heard of their killing
several people and throwing their
bodies into the river Our three pig
mics seem 10 know absolutely nothing
about cannibalism. Their language
differs entirely from that Of the neigh
boring peoples; it has not yet been pos
sible to form vocabulary for them,
since, in replying questions, they usual
~ employ the languages of their neigh
bOrs our two female pigmics have
learned the Suaheii tongue, and it is
only when they think themselves quite
mobSorycd that they talk and sing to-
gether i'm their mother tongue. The ne
groes maintained that they twittereo
Ike birds: but the tribes best acquaint-
ed with them know that they speak
the languages Of their neighbors. our
three. ut least, have been brought up to
speak the Wambuga language. No one
has succeeded rs yet Ia fixing the words
which represent the numbers in their
native language; probably they are,
like the BuShman, unable to count
more than two, all the numbers above
two being called many" They call
themselves Eve or Baewe; by their
ncighboIs they are called Wambud, Au,
Ango, Wasmmbe Aka, &c. The name
Aka is said to occur on an ancient
Egyptian monument.

ARSON RECALLED.
An Elk Convict Defendant in a Divorce
Suit.


Milwaukee, May II. - There is another
aud a more sensational chapter in the
life of Elias Bennett, who was in 1881
sentenced to six years in Waupn prison
for arson Bennett worked rs a cloak
cutter here. On Thanksgiving night
1883, he fired the building on Third
street in this city, which he and wo-
man who passed as his wife managed
as a boarding house. Bennett is now
the defendant in a divorce suit in Chi
cago and an effort will be made to show
hat the woman who lived with him here
was not his legal wife.
The Bennett arson case was an in
tecesting and important one and it is
still fresh in the recollection of Mil
waukee officials. Acting Chief Riemer,
OF the fire department says that on
Thanksgiving night, 1SS3 an alarm
came in for n fire at 1T9-1S1 Third
street. The fire was burning brisllly
when the fircmen arrived, but they con-
Guided to try to extinguish it with the
chemical apparatus. 1t is wei they did,
for after the fire had been eNtinguished
the fremen found unmistakable evil
dences of incendiarism and the plan
had been so arranged that the death
of several firemen would have been
the inevitable result had n stream OF
water been turned into the place. Piles
of kindung wood had been fired and
then several pals, partially filled with
kerosene had been suspended from the
ceiling by slender strings. 1t was evil
IDENTITY the intention Of the incendiary
TO have the fire which he started In
the Hndling wood eventually reach
the strings and thus empty the oil
all over the door A stream of water
would have undoubtedly broken the
strings and the result of the ignition
of all that oil, with q couple Of fire
companies right in the room, would
have been awfGl to contemplate. BY
using chemical apparatus the tiremen
the flames and at the
same time steered clear Of the kerosene
nails. The loss was only $3.50. 1t was
found that Bennett had $1,000 insurance
on his household effects The building
was owned by W. W. Wallis.
Bennett was arrested on a charge Of
arson. He set up an alihi. claiming %
have been in Chicago. The trial was an
one. and it was finally shown
that the fire was started in such man
