STOKER, H. DECATDS. Ill, Ferocious Ante. Paul du Chajllu, who is naturally well pleased at the confirmation afforded by Mr. Stanley to his traveler's tales from equatorial Africa, gives in The Fortnightly Review some interesting reminiscences of his two journeys in that part of the world.

Here is a vivid picture of the silence (if silence can be depleted) which reigns in that dreadful forest of which Mr. Stanley has told us: "Mile after mile is traversed without even hearing the chatter of a monkey, the Bbrill cry of a parrot, the footstep of a gazelle or antelope. The falling of a leaf, the murmur of some hidden rivulet, the humming of insects, and here arid there the solitary note of a bird only come to give life and bring relief in the gloom of the vast solitude that surrounds you. The feeling which seizes you as you move along in the illent path ib indescribable." Mr. Du Chaillu had to run for his life in equatorial forest, not from the lion or ihe leopard, but from a species of ant, the bashikouay, "which is the dread of all living animals of the forest." "It is the habit of the bashikouay to march through the forest in a long, regular line, about two inches broad or more, and often miles in length.

All along the line larger ants, who act as officers, stand outside the ranks and keep the singular army in order. If they come to a place where there are no trees to shelter them from the sun, the heat of which they cannot bear, they immediately burrow underground and form tunnels. It takes often more than twelve hours for one of these armies to pass. When they grow hungry, at a certain command which seems to take place all along the line at the same time, the long file spreads itself through the forest in a front line and attacks and devours all that It overtakes with a fury that ia quite irresistible." Sometimes, we are told, men condemned to death for witchcraft are made fast to a tree, and if an army of hungry bashiko- uays happens to pass only bare skeletons remain to tell the tale. Fingered Artists.

An artist ot the sixteenth century painted a city on so small a s.cale that a common house fly's wing would cover it entire; and about the same time D. A. Vr Meer, a Hollander, painted a landscape on the side of a grain of wheat. When a microscope was used one could plainly discern a mill, a miller going up stairs with a sack of corn on his back, and some peasants with a pig going along a winding road. A piece of mechanism shown at the Exeter 'Change, the result of twenty years of labor on the part of an invalid, showed a gentleman's country seat, summer houses, ponds and cascades.

There was a full hundred moving figures, deer in the parks, ladies, children, dogs, in the garden, besides a fully equipped six horse coach. A London character by the name of Searle, who flourished about the beginning of the present century, and who had but two fingers on the right hand and three on the left, wrote the Lord's prayer, the creed, seven of the ten commandments, psalms cxxxiii. and together with his name, address and date, on a piece of paper which could be covered with a sixpence. At another time this ingenious individual put Goldsmith's "Traveller," a poem of lines, on a sheet of paper three and a half inches square. a lurge wager, hi-, backers being the Oxford Library, put thu wliole of "Don Quixote" on fifty-one smaller than ordinary cigitretlo Lonis Republic.

Copper (if the Aborigines. Copper jewelry was in.ide and liked by the Indians of this country. Dr. Charles C. Aboolt, of the University of Pennsylvania, spoke of this in an address not long ago.

He referred to the fact that the earliest European visitors mentioned the use of copper by tbrf natives. The Indian women of the southern Atlantic roast, Capt. John Smith said, had copper pendants, and the Mangoaks beautified "their houses with great plates thereof." The Virginia Indians value copper, and had a custom of throwing pieces into the river when passing their ing ground. A common ornament of the person was "a broad piece of 1 Similar references occur in the records of the early settlers of New England. In the St.

Lawrence valley Champlain met an Indian who "drew from his bag a piece of copper the length of a foot, which he gave me--the same was very handsome and very pure--giving me to understand that he had a quantity of it where be had taken this, which was on the border of river near a great lake." The early records invariably refer to itys uses for ornament, but the copper objects found in graves and village sites along the northern Atlantic coast are all, except a few beads, useful objects, such as spear heads, arrow points or A Peculiar Coltoetiou of Diamonds. A peculiar collection of diamond jewels, formerly the property of Dr. J. J. Lightall, an itinerant physician who died in Texas about two years ago, is in the possession ot the Golden Eagle Loan company, of St.

Louis, Mo. The doctor was generally known as "The Diamond King," and was a very eccentric character. An elegant gold horse timer, the cose of which is set with sixty-four diamonds, each weighing 2 carats, with a carat diamond in the crown, is one of the articles in the collection. The original cost of this watch is said to have been $3,800. There is also a massive gold neck chain weighing GOO pennyweights in the collection, which in addition to this contains a ring, the setting of which is inches square and contains 185 small diamonds.

Two other rings, which belonged to the doctor's wife, contains seventeen carats of diamonds, and there is a diamond cross set with thirty-eight brilliants and several other elaborate pieces of diamond jewelry. The goods were pledged by the widow of the PIPEK'S ST H. F.

LOTTISVILLE, Aug. dispatch from Capt. E. H. Gaither, in charge of the troops in Hazard, Perry county, says: "There has been no disturbance whatever since court began, nor is there any likelihood of any.

Every outlaw left the place when the troops came, and they are not liki'ly to return until the soldiers leave. Before the soldiers came there were four saloons run openly, and the keepers of eofi places and their hangers-on were the chief disturbers of the peace. It was a common occurrence for them to defy the officers and shoot through the houses. Work of the Court.

They broke up the court last fall and no doubt burned the court house this lummer. The court, under the protection of the troops, is doing wonderful work. "Buck" Fayit has been convicted of malicious shooting and given two years in the penitentiary, and for misdemeanors every man tried has been convicted, and in each case they are given the extent of the law, and in some 'a Iwtle the rise."

LAWRENCEVILLE, 111., Aug. Draper had his throat cut on the Illinois side of the Wabash river near Vincennes. While Draper was looking at the fireworks on the river three men jostled his wife off the levee. He remonstrated with them, arid he was at once hit on the head with a billy.

Aug. week ended Thursday was a bloody week in the history of Abbeville county. Friday night Julia Burton, wife of Ned Burton, was found dead in bed with a great gosh in her head and a bloody axe lying on the floor.

The dead body of her husband was suspended from the rafter in the same room. Ono end of a trace chain encircled his neck, the other end being fastened to the rafter. He had evidently arranged the chain himself and jumped from the loft, as his neck was broken. It was clearly a case of murder and suicide, the result of the husband's jealousy. Cowardly Aeiaftsitination.

Sunday morning Jenkins, a railroad laborer, was talking with a woman with whom he was living when Peter Ashley slipped up behind him and struck him in the head with an ax, killing him instantly. Jealousy was also the cause of this crime, the woman having formerly lived with Ashley, whom she quit to lire with Jeukiua. The murderer escaped. Two Little Imps of Satan. A most horrible crime was committed Sunday when Nelson Nash, who had care of Sam and Marion Nash, orphan children of his brother, aged respectively 10 and 12 years, was murdered by them.

These boys are in jail and confessed that they murdered tlieir uncle. They say their uncle was cruel to them, and whipped them unmercifully upon slight provocation. Their uncle's wife urged them to kill him, assuring them that they were too young to be punished. On Sunday, Nosh's wife was at church, and he was stooping over the fire cooking dinner. Coolnean of the Young Butchers.

Sam stepped up behind and dealt him a fearful blow in the head with a hatchet. Nelson cried out, "Oh, God!" and ran out into the yard, where he fell.

The youthful murderers then tied the dead man's feet with a chain, hitched the chain to a singletree, took a horse and dragged the body to a neighboring gully and covered it with pine tops.
