NAVIGATING IN AFRICA.
Natives Hunt Victims in Leopard
Skins and With Iron Claws.

From the London Standard.
The West African mail contains news Of
case of cannibalism that has lately been
tried in Sherboro. to the southeast Of
Sierra Leone. and resulted in the hanging
OF a Paramount chief and four of his
mobiles" The men belonged to one Of
the Leopard societies that We're a source
of great trouble to the neighborhood be-
fore they were brought under hand by
British rule. The name was derived
from the practice of the members, who
We're accustomed to hunt down their
human prey in leopard skins furnished
with large iron claws.
The chief induced one of his men to
kill little boy, strengthening him for
the purpose with pagan rites. BY means
of these it was sought to make the muir
derer's footsteps inaudible, to give him
courage for the deed, and to make the
place of murder conveniently dark The
dead body was taken to the chief and his
friends, who made short work of it. After
a year they were tried for the murder
and convicted.

Cor Cincinnati commercial Tribune.
The tent which was Washington's origl-
nal headquarters at Valley Forge, pur-
chased at a cost of S, 600 from a daughter
of Gen. Lee, has reached the historic
campgrounds.
The tree, white oak, under which this
tent was pitched, was destroyed by some
hunters after. a rabbit about fifteen years
ago. The tree was large, shapely and had
a hole in the trunk into which the rab-
bit could easily crawl
The bunny ran into the hole and the
hunters, In order to get it out. stuffed
the hole full of dry grass and set fire to
1t. The fire was left burning until the
hollow tree fell of its own weight.
The ground on which the tree stood
was owned by I. Heston Todd. who was
away when it was burned. He was very
angry when he returned and found the
landmark had been destroyed.
