ana family oy Itself; 1t Is very like an
| enormous weasel and attacks the big
gest animals. The avi-fauna is richer
than the mammalian, and comprises
more than two hundred and twenty
species. nearly half of which are pecu-
liar to Madagascar. Many are difficult
to classify and some yet remain a puz-
zle to ornithologists. Although there
is now no living member of the strutsi-
de, this island up to four or five centur-
les ago was the home of very large
bird of that family. the extinct Epy-
ornis. whose eggs, found in sub-fossil
state, measure 12I by 81 inches. We
adj that the island is almost free from
deadly serpents. but in the lakes and
rivers crocodiles abound. On the
whole, the Madagascar fauna is mark
ed with strong individuality, which
suggests prolonged isolation. Such
affinities as it has are rather Malayan
and Polynesian than African, fact
which has led Mr.. A. r. Wallace to
conjecture that the island was former
ly a member of a huge archipelago oc-
cupying the western part of the Indian
Ocean.
1t is believed that an aboriginal peo-
pie, of dwarfish stock and lighter
nnfneod of Afn1o
lived in the inner portions of Madagas-
car before the advent of the present
inhabitants. The majority of the lat
ter seem to be derived not from Africa,
but from Malayo-Polynesia, although
there is undoubtedly a mixture of Afri-
can blood in tribes on the west coast
and few others. The connection of
the Arabs with the island dotes from a
very remote epoch, and in very early
times settlements were made upon the
colonies my be found at this day. Ghe
number of words derived from the Ara
bic In the native language bears wit
ness to the influence exerted by the
Arabs upon Malagasy civilization.
We use the word civilization advisedly,
for even before the arrival of European
missionaries the Malagasy. ard partic-
ularly the Hovas, who were the domi
nant tribe, could hardly be classified
among barbarous, much less among
savage, peoples. They never fell into
cannibal practices; they were law
abiding and loyal, dwelling in settled
communities and fortified villages un-
der government evolved from the
primative patriarchal system.
The French republic has reason to
plume itself on its great conquest in
the Indian Ocean.-N Y. Sun.

narrowly escaped being burned at the
stake. And yet in all this broad state
if single prominent negro has lifted
his voice in public in condemnation OF
these crimes against white women the
fact has escaped the attention of the
press. Condemnation of mobs that
wreak summary vengeance is. howev-
er, quite common.
Whatever may be said against mobs
that are organized to protect helpless
women and young girls, it must be adj
mitted that their intention is good.
They realize the weakness of the courts
and the great importance of admins
tering speedy justice. Does it ever
occur to the average reader that mobs
are now regarded as natural conse-
quence of certain crimes? A few years
ago lynching shocked the whole
state, while now, when the occasion
arises, such an event is looked upon as
a natural result and scarcely causes
any comment out of the immediate
neighborhood of the lynching. This
is not only true of Missouri, but in all
states west of the Allegheny noun
tains.
There is only one way that mobs
can be avoided in the future, and that
is for crimes against white women to
cease. just as long as the crimes are
there will be lynchings. And
the mob spirit, backed by public sem
timent, as it undoubtedly is. will soon
become very dangerous. Familiarity
is rapidly oblfterating the horrors in
cident to iynchings. and after awhile
the mobs will appropriate more juris-
dlction. City Tribune.

Another Lynch1ng.

Another negro has been Iynched Ii
Missouri. This time the lynching oc.
Cured in the Republican stronghold ol
| Cape Girardeau county, and not in
Democratic Galloway. The crime for
| which the negro was lynched may cas-
| lily be surmised. He assaulted young
| white girl and met the fate he richly
deserved. New England Republican
papers will not indulge in the usual
sanctimonious cant about lawlessness
in Missouri and oppression of the ne
gro race, but all this will not injure
the state In the opinion of respectable
white people. The repetition of such
crimes have SO thoroughly aroused the
people that lynching is regarded as
quite the proper thing, and public SEN
timent will indorse and protect the
parties who do the lynching.
If such crimes continue a few years
longer in Missouri the legislature may
as we'll repeal all statutes on the sub
ject and trust the people to enforce
such justice as the atrocity of each
crime may merit because they have
determined to take justice in thelrown
hands any way. Formerly it was Gus
tomary for political demagogues to
charge all such lynchings up against
the Democratic party, but that has
been abandoned, in view of the fact
that white men are pretty much the
same all over this country, and white
Republicans are quite as ready to join
a mob as white Democrats and equally
as anxious to protect their homes.
In view of SO many mobs it is strange
that the negro preachers, teachers,
writer's and politicians cannot see that
the only way to quell this spirit is to
condemn the crimes which cause it.
In place of doing this they rail against
the mobs and only add fuel to flames.
A few months ago negro woman
named Ida Wells delivered so-ca1led
lecture in this city. in which she at
lacked the virtue of the unfortunate
white women who have been the VIC
inns of negro brutality. The lecture
should not have been tolerated, and
would not have been had the people I
beforehand knew of its scharacter. The

The New Acquisition of France.

BY the capture of Antananarivo wa
confirmed the protectorate over Mad
agascar, which the French claimed, ant
to which Lord Salisbury assented som.
years ago. In this case a protectorat.
is even more certain to mean annexa
tion than it did in the case OF the Tuni
sian Regency, for the French have no
promised, as they did about Tunis
that their occupation shall be only
temporary. France, then, has dein
itely added to her possessions one o
the largest islands in the world, an
island nearly thousand miles in
length and $50 miles wide in the broad.
est part. with an area of at least $780,
900 square miles, or nearly four times
that of England and Wales. Moreover,
although the seacoats. and especially
on the side facing the mainland OF
Africa. are now lying and unhealthy,
there is in the interior a vast highland
region, having the climate of the south
temperate zone, and capable of sus-
tanning a large European population.
There is no reason why upon this up
land plateau, the home of the domi-
nant Hova tribe, and already the seat
of anascent civilization, French settlers
should not thrive, as they have thriven
in the relatively bleak and inhospita-
BILE tracts Of Lower Canada.
The great island, the development
of which will henceferth be the work
of France, is country of peculiar in
terest to- the geologist. the botanist,
the naturalist, and the ethuologist.
There Is now no active volcano in
but in the central prov
ince of Imerina a hundred craters have
been counted. Signs of subterranean
action are still recognized in the shocks
of earthquake which are felt every.
year, and in the hot springs which are
in several places. The
upper region consists of primary and
rocks, such as granite,
gneiss, and basalt. which present pic
and varied outlines, but in
The lower portions of the island are

Alone walk the peopled city,
| Where each seems happy with its own;
Oh, friends, ask not for your pity
1 walk alone.
No more for me yon lake relo ices,
| Though moved by loving airs of June;
Oh! birds, your sweet and piping voices
| Are out of tune.
| In vain for me the elm tree arches
Its plumes in many feathery spray;
In vain the evenings starry marches
And sunlit day.
| In vain your beauty, summer flowers;
Ye cannot greet those cordial eyes;
They gaze on other fields than ours
On other skies.
| The gold is rifled from the Golfer,
The blade is stolen from the sheath:
Life has but one more boon to offer,
And that is-death.
Yet well know the voice of duty,
And, therefore, life and health must crave
Though she who gave the world its beauty
Is in her grave.
/ live, 0 lost one, for the living,
Who drew their earlier life from thee,
And wait until, with glad thanksgiving,
1 shall be free.
For life to me is as a station
Wherein apart traveller stands
One, absent long from home and nation,
In other lands.
And am he who stands and listens,
Amid the twilight's chill and gloom,
To hear approaching in the distance,
The train for home.
For death shall bring another mating,
Beyond the shadows of the tomb;
On yonder shore bride is waiting
Until come.
In yonder fields are children playing,
And there-oh! vision of delight
see the child and mother straying
In robes of white.
Thou, then, the longing heart that breakest,
Stealing the treasures one by one,
I'll called thee blessed, when thou makest
The parted-one.

The Cuban Situation.

pondent of the London Standard, the
Spanish Premier, Seffor Canovas Del
Castillo, set forth at some length his
view of the state of things in Cuba.
His admissions bear emphatic witness
to the gravity of the revolution, but
his assertions with regard to the race
character of the movement are not
borne out by facts.
Seffor Canovas acknowledged that
the Madrid Government had already
sent over sixty thousand soldiers to
Cuba, and had just called out seventy
thousand more conscripts, who would
be despatched during the winter. He
added that nearly all the available
ships in the Spanish navy were en-
ployed to blockade the island, and
that the twenty-six light war vessels
lately built in England and Spain
would be speedily assembled in West
Indian waters. That is to say, the
present insurrection is admitted to be
SO formidable that to suppress it will
require larger military and naval
force than the English had at their
disposal in the United States during
our Revolutionary war, or than they
were ever able to muster in India dur
ing the conquest of that vast and pop
ulous country. There could be no
more conclusive proof that the Cuban
Insurgents possess the status of bellig-
erents as a matter of fact, and In the
name of equity and humanity may
claim to have that status recognized
as matter of law.
Unable to belittle the proportions of
a movement, the repression OF which
taxes the whole power of Spain, Seffor
Canovas endeavors to deprive it of
sympathy by describing it as war of
races. an uprising of the blacks against
the whites. 1t is true that some of the
leaders and considerable portion of
the rank and file of the revolutionary
forces are colcred men; for in this in
surrection, as in the previous revolt, |
no distinction of race has been recoe-
nized by the insurgents. The white |
patriots have commanded the ardent |
support of the colored population. and |
and very properly they have turned it /
TO account. When, however, perma-
nent civil government was organized,
rs it was the other day, the chief adj
posts were given TO white
men of approved ability and character,
and the Presidency of the Cuban re-
public was bestowed on the Marquis of
Santa Lucia, whom Seffor Canovas
ices fit to stigmatize as an old republic
AN fanatic. The facts do not warrant
he further statement made by the
spanish Premier, that all the most re-
pectable and influential autonomists
md reformists have Loyalty given the
spanish authorities every possible as
istance and assurance OF good Will.

are subjected to incessant
