DEATHS FROM STARVATION.

OF the -reconcentrados in Matanzas,
numbering more than 10000 20 died in
two days, &c persisted from hunger.
Yesterday II deaths were reported, a
large proportion of whom were the re-
suit of starvation.
In Jaruico, about 65 per cent of the
deaths are caused by starvation, and
the same is true of many other towns.
Owing to the lack of proper clothing
and of blankets, the situation of the
reconcentrados is becoming worse as
the winter season approaches, despite
the efforts made to relieve them.

description OF it., was the killing of =
June last The boy was a notorious
poacher and chicken stealer. SO that
his disappearance was made little ac
count of. Nacher told the magistrate
this week that he met Bully on the
high road and despatched him in an
unoccupied house where they went to
pass the night. He spent some hours
in cutting the body to pieces and finally
threw it into the well on the premises.
Parts of the remains have now been
recovered by following Vacher's direc-
tons.
This extraordinary criminal is sane
enough under ordinary observation,
and therein, of course, lies the danger
of society from creatures with such
propenSities. The most disgusting fea-
ture of the whole frightful record is the
fact that the criminal, sane or insane,
should be able to go about for three
years in 4 civilized, well-populated
country, taking life at will and in an
almost wholesale way, and yet be com
paratively free from the pursuit of the
agents of the law It IS the fashion of
Europe, especially among the unedu-
Gated, to regard America as a more or
less lawless wilderness, where human
life is cheap. In the face OF this reve-
lat1on in country which prides Itself
on the skill of its detectives, America
should be safe, for a time at least.

ing bread for the family, with the
kitchen door standing wide OPEN She
stood with her back to the door, and
was startled on hearing a growl di-
rectly behind her She turned quickly
and saw a young bear on his hind legs
advancing towards her. Miss Robin
son is brave and determined. She
seized her rolling pin and dealt the
intruder vicious blow on the nose.
The bear die not retreat, but con-
tinued to advance, boxing with his
paws Miss Robinson delivered another
blow, which bruin cleverly caught on
his paw. He was TOO slow in his move
ments, however, to stop a heavy right
handler under the ear, which noored
him. He was still full of fight and
came back for the Second round with
plenty of courage. The girl rained
blows on him with the pin, but he
rushed at her, and endeavored to seize
her in his paws. The she took a big
butcherknife in her lett hand and
fenced with both. She drove the keen
blade into the bears neck, d stream Of
blood gushing from the ugly wound.
This made the bear very sick, and the
plucky maiden soon had the satisfac-
ton of seeing him topple under the
rain of blows and stabs. Re gave up
the fight and the ghost at the same
time.
Then Miss Robinson did what NEST
young women would have done at first
she tainted. But that was all right
then She had killed the bear She
has had three encounters with bears,
all of which ended in her favor. She
is a Missouri girl, and while slight and
apparently weak, is full of grit.

Mr.. cuMING's COSTLY FROGS.
Paid $50 A2loc. for Them In France and
Got Them ut = Bargain.

PAid $50 Apiece for Them In France and
Got Them ut - Bargain.
A. p. Cunning, a lawyer of this city,
while spending his vacation IL France
during the past summer, bought three
frogs for which he paid the high price
of $25 each. Lest the publication of lnat
fact encourage local dealers to imagine
that they may be able to work Off lnore
frogs on Mr.. Cunning at that fancy
price, it is well TO explain that the frogs
he bought are not considered good to
eat, that they are SO small that a good
meal of them would cost several hun
dred dollars, and that he is not passion
ately fond of that sort of diet. These
frogs are simply good to look at. They
are only about 3A inches long, when
fully extended, and possibly fraction
over an inch high when sitting up to
take an interest in their Surroundings,
or half that thickness when they fiat
ten themselves out on the glass of their
aquarium home and stick there, for
hours at a time, like gobs of green mud.
Their backs and sides are of q pretty
shade of green, which changes to the
exact tint of any foliage, lighter or
darker green, upon which they place
themselves. Their bellies are white,
their throats bright yellow, their eyes
shining black, and over each eye is a
crescent of bright gold.
The variety of frogs to which they
belong has been found only in the fresh
water lagoons running into the Medi-
terranean, and even there they are not
abundant nor is their capture easy.
These were bought at Hyeres, near
Toulon, and were considered a good
bargain at the price Mr.. Cunning paid.
There is considerable diversity of color
among these found, and their value de-
pends altogether upon their beauty.
Sometimes one is found darkly beauti-
fully blue, and it is worth $500, that
color being exceedingly rare.
They are very dainty little creatures.
Fresh pure water must be given to
them every day, and they will cat moth
Ing but live winged insects from which
the stings have been extracted. Mr..
Cunning has been urged to try the eff
feet upon one Of giving to it a healthy
bee in working order, but refuses to do
so, fearing that the experience might
shock too greatly the nervous system

insects with hard wing cases, such as
cockroaches, and high-favored ones
bedbugs, for instanee-are scorned by
them. And they do not know that
worms of any kind are good for frogs.
When one Of the little creatures Is put in
possession of huge night moth, bigger
than itself, it begins swallowing by the
head, and neatly folding in the broad
spreading wings by dainty manipulat-
Ing with its hands, gradually gets the
Insect down, sometimes taking as much
as half an hour in the process.
| Mr.. Cunning Is now occupying his
leisure in educating his frogs. They
know him, perch fearlessly on his fin
gers, and have learned to jump over Q
trapeze, climb a rope, and do other
things that encourage him to hope for O
bigh development Of their abiiitiea.-
