Washington. December 2S.-Hon. Justin
S. Morrill,, the senior senator from Yer
mont, died at twenty minutes past one
O'Clock this morning, In the S9tth year of
his age, after an illness of less than a
week. With him when the end came was
his sister-in-law, Miss Louise Swan, his
son, James, Mr.. Benjamin Durfee. for
long time associated with the Senator
in the finance committee work at the
Capital, and Col S. E. Chamberlain, an
intimate friend.
The Senator never recovered from the
unconscious state into which he lapsed
early yesterday and his death was calm
and peaceful The immediate cause of
death was pneumonia, which developed
from an attack of grip contracted about
d week ago The venerable senator was
confined to his home but seven days De
spite his advanced age he attended his
senatorial duties faithfully and regular
ly went to the Capital. About ten days
ago the weather here was cold, raw and
foggy, and his physician thinks exposure
brought on the attack of grip. The day
before Congress adjourned for the holi-
days the Senator was unable to leave his
residence. He grew no better as The days
went on, his low vitality, due to ad-
vanced age, being unable to resist the
disease. On Christmas night it deyel
oped into pneumonia and from that time
until the end he sank steadily.
No definite arrangements have yet been
made for the funeral. 1t is altogether
likely that public services will be held
in the Senate chamber. The remains
of Mrs. Morrill,, who died during the
present year, are now in vault at Rock
Greek cemetery, near this city, and it
may be that the Senator's body will be
deposited there pending removal to
Stafford, VT, where mausoleum is now
in course of construction.

He remained in an unconscious state into

most of the time remained at the bedside.
The patient ev identity was not suffering
any pain, but was calmly passing away.
Many anxious inquiries as to the Sena-
TORS condition were made by friends who
called durlng the afternoon and evening
as soon as the serious nature of his illness

that his neck is still full, a long col

Kongo Cannibals.

Livingstone was slow to believe
that cannibalism prevailed to any
extent in the Kongo regions. Cap
tain Hinde found it widely preva-
lent. He says in Ills book, 1.-The
Fall of the konL Arabs" $50 far
as / have been able to discover,
nearly all the tribes in the Kongo
basin either I or have been canni-
bals. and among some of them the
practice is on the increase" In
some districts a regular traffic in
human flesh WAS carried on, and to
such an extent that the Europeans
did not venture to buy flesh offered
in the market, especially when
smoked. It would appear that not
only captives of low rank are re-
served for this fate. The chief Mo
hara, who fell fighting with the
Arab force under Tippu THIS son
Sefu, seems to have been disposed
Of in this way. So. at least, we con-
clude from the zeply of some of his
rivals people: "Oh, we know ali
about Moharal We ate him the day
before yesterday"

The Art and Mystery of Driving u Hog.
The difficulty of driving IL single
hog was we'll illustrated Mt the foot
Of Ninth street one afternoon. Some
men were driving Il herd Of swine to
Amherst, and as they approached
the bridge ono of tho animals be-
came obstreperous and bolted to-
ward the city, becoming thereby
separated from the rest of the drove.
Tho three or four men, assisted by
volunteers, placed themselves be
tween the city and the rebcllious
hog in Il scmicircle, while one Of
their number advanced cautiously
and began to tickle the hogs nose
with Il pine brush. This would make
the animal turn round, and each
time he did SO he would move IL few
steps toward the bridge and the rest
Of the drove. The m;,ncuvcrs were
watched with Il great deal of inter
est by a large crowd OF spectators,
and when finally the maynard one
returned to the bosom of the drove

ton went up from the crowd
