Terrible Threat of Raisuli.

Tangier, Feb. 27.-The bandit
Raisuli, though he has been driven
from his stronghold at Sienat and is
now hiding in the mountain fastness-
es, days march hence, still Graves
vengeance on the heads of those who
have routed him and his followers.
In time, he says, his home at Zienat
will be rebuilt with the bodies and
bones of the Sultan and the tribes
men who destroyed it. He has no
fear OF the inevitable desertion Of the
Shereefian army, because of unpaid
wages. The bandit is most bitter
against the Sultan and the foreign
board, and he lets no chance escape
to heap vituperation upon them. Raj
suli is plentifully supplied with
money, and it is this fact that causes
him much uneasiness, his great ter
ror being that some of his followers
will murder him in order to obtain
his wealth.

The corpse plant is a remarkable
carnivorous specimen that grows in
the colony of Natal. It's principal
feature is a bell shaped mouth, with
throat opening into hollow stem.
1t is almost black and covered with
thick, glutinous secretion, while its
odor is very offensive. This attracts
carrion feeding birds to it, and once
they alight on it they are lost. Their
claws become entangled in the secre
tion, the bell shaped mouth folds up
and they are literally swallowed.
