They are a strange people who inhab-
it the valley of the Brahmaputra, the
largest reproducing tract in India.
This territory is bounded on the north
by range upon range of mountains,
starting with hills which rise to a few
hundred feet above the level of the
plains. and eliminating in the snowy
peaks of the Himelayas.
In these hills, between Thibet and
British territory, live a number of indie
pendent tribes, of Monaghan origin,
who, secure in their rocky Businesses,
owe no allegiance to any civilized
power.
At the beginning of the century, when
the Assam Raj was breaking up, and
the rajahs were unable to protect
their frontiers, these tribes used to de-
scend from their hills and levy black
mail upon the villages neal the border.
In course of time these eXactiOns OBJ
tanned the sanction Of custom, and when
Assam was added to the domains of
the company Hahadur, the hillme1l
claimed the right to levy a tax in kind
on settlers in the submountain tracts.
The directors consented to acknOWI-
edge this claim TO ~bIackmail, but de
clined to allow the Uorderers to be their
own ta~xgatherers, and committed all
these claims for a payment to be made
in cash by government itself, thus OBJ
tanning a power Of control over the
tribes which has since been frequently
used to good effectt
1t is easy for a body Of freebooters tc
slip down, harry a village, and return
long before the alarm is given; and a
system of outposts along the frontier
which would render such raids impossi-
BILE, can be maintained only at great
expense, while a punitive expedition is
even more costly, the tribes retiring
quietly and leaving nothing but a few
huts to burn.

Among the many relics of the Span

e for cataloguing none is attracting
ore attention in Havana just now
an the old official garrote. The ma

IAN a century, the last eXecutioner,
n aged negro convict, having pre-
;dtd at 70 ceremonies. The garrote it
elf is a shabby enough old trap, con-
sisting mainly of rusty iron and an IN
painted board or two. The DOns are
lwfulIy punctilious in regard to form,
but scandalously careless of appear
ance. y judge who might have seven
kinds of fits IF he should omit one syl-
able of the interminably long harangue
delivered at the scene Of the judicial
murder, would calmly ot1iciate at the
same in a condition which to the un-
trained OlfactOries Of the ignorant
Yankees might SAVIOR Of the humble an
imal the DOns declare we resemble.
Thus it is that the garrote is simple to
excess. 1t is about ten feet high all
told. The platform, which is four feet
from the ground, is some six feet
square. Attached to the iron column
which run through and supports this
is an iron chair. Two feet above this
is the fatal screw. The culprit (?) is
seated in this chair with his hands and
feet firmly tied, and his eyes blindfold-
ed. At the proper moment, a twill is
given to the screw, which pen~etrates his
neck and breaks his spinal column
The operation may or may not be very
painful. If it were not for the peculiar
Iy fiendish manner III which the af
fairs were conducted there is reason t
believe that the garrote is less inhumar
