LONDON, Sept. 4.-The Rev. Mr.. Swami,
A missionary, who had just returned from

honestly that Emin Pasha is dead. The
most circumstantial reports reached mo
from four independent sources, said Nj.
Swami, "and all agreed as to the details.

ioicing over his death"
According to the reports received by Mr.
Swami, Emin had arrived at the residence
of Seyd Bin Abed, in the country of the
Manyemas, in the eastern part of the
Congo State. A party of Arabs approached
and asked him I: 'sWhere are you go.ngg'
10 the coast" was Emin's reply. The
leader OF the Arabs, who was armed with
a scimetar, then stepped up to Emin and
said You are Emin Pasha, who killed
| the Arabs at Victoria Nyanza."
Without waiting for an answer he
struck of Emin's head with the scimetar.
| ENNIS body was thrown to the Manyemas,
who ate it, Subsequently the Manyemas
murdered Emin's Nubian followers aud
| ate them.
MIR, Swami says that these details have
| been SO often repeated thatin Ujiji nobody
has the slightest doubt as to their correct
ness.

will some day. 1t will come"

didn't fly" And the wizard laughed at
the recollection.

How They Rout Valiant Warriors and Put
the Heroes of Battles to Flight.
New York Sun.
A while ago the surveyors of the
Victoria Nyanza railroad tolled up q
mountain TO make instrumental obser-
vations of the surrounding country.
Behind them were negroes carrying
the heavy surveying instruments. The
ascent was steep, and was possible only
along narrow pathway.
Suddenly the men with the instru-
ments faced about and beat hasty and
ignominious retreat down the hill. A
swarm of angry bees had issued from a
hole in the cliff, their belligerency fully
aroused and their weapons of offence
all ready for use. The railroad survey
was suddenly suspended, and all work
ceased for nearly half a day. The
instrument bearers did not venture to
return. The surveyors were prisoners
on the mountain side, for they did moi
dare to run the gauntlet of the enraged
insects; and they waited till after dark
when the bees had gone to sleep, before
they tiptoed around the enemy's strong
hold and returned to camp.
Four months ago German, Captain
Won Manteuffel, marched against /;
rebel chief IN East Africa, and coming
to a hostile village, ordered Its lombard
lnent with hand grenades. AT thu
fourth shot the enemy was unexpect
eddy reinforced by a swarm of bees
which, with the utmost dash and BRAY
cry, attacked the troops in front anc
rear, and on both TANKS. The pani
that seized these beleagured soldier
was irresistible, and they took to tn
woods on a. lively run, many throwing
away their guns and ammunition Ii
their tremendous haste to get away. l
took au hour to rally the fugutives, AM
when they returned to the serious bust
ness of the day, they found that tn
natives had also lit out into the woods
These are the latest illustrations G
the venerable historic truth, that whel
bees are well they can put to rout th
heroes of many battles, who woul
scorn to be dismayed by musketry c
cannon.

EulnputEh ReFions
We have become possessed of certain
very important indications as to the
early civilization of Palestine by means
of clay tablets. Not that the knowledge
so. attained is altogether new, or that 1t
conflicts with that which has been de-
duced from yet earlier Egyptian records.
1t is well known to scholars that Thoth-
mes ILL.,, when he defeated the league of
Utilities and Phenicians at Megiddo, in
1900 B. G., Ia century before Amenophis
Ill. acceded, } rcaped spoil which indi-
Gates the advanced civilization of Syria,
including not only the precious.meta
and chariots painted and plated, but
also objects of art having high aesthetic
value; and that he found corn, wine and
oil abundant in the country, and many
hundreds of walled towns, in which
there were already temples of the gods.
Such evidence has, however, been
slighted by those who regard the early
Hebrews as savages, and who think
that, though placed in the very centre
OF the ancient civilized world between
the Egyptians and the Assyrians, they
were, nevertheless, unacquainted with
any arts, and uninhuenced by surround
ing culture. The new discoveries insls
on quite another understanding of theil
ancient history.

The Philadelphia traction companies
are bending their energies to get their
lines equipped with the trolley at an
early date, and, as they are required to
pave the streets through which they
pass, square after square of fine smooth
pavements are taking the place of cob
blestones; the improvement going far to
reconcile opponents Of the innovation.
Wisely taking advantage of the oppor-
tunity," writes a reporter, =" the city is
constructing sewers and laying gas and
water pipes in the streets on which the
trolley system IS being constructed.
Householders are also notified to make
street connections without delay. The
object is to have all underground work
possible done before the improved pave
ments are laid, so that the streets car
remain undisturbed for several years"

Antoine Bachetich, an Austrian sailor,
died in Philadelphia Sunday week of
general debility caused by voluntary
starvation" He went to the breakfast
table at his boarding house on June 18th
and found no place had been set for
him. Taking umbrage at this he refused
to eat and from that time on he ate no
more. He drank water occasionally but
refused to touch the most tempting
dishes. The length of his fast, 76 days
and the statement that he fell off in
weight from ITO to go pounds, indicate
that he was remarkably hard man tc
