Tipper TIB'S NEW MANSION.
mie Reception Whon He Arrived at
the Scene of Hia Slave-Hunting Ex
ploits.
From the New York Sun.
A remarkable experiment is now in prog
ress in central Africa. The Congo State is
.fighting fire with fire. In other words, it
has taken into its service the greatest of
African slave dealers, and hopes through
him to suppress the cruel slave trade which
js now decimating the country far and
wide around Stanley Falls. Early in June
Tippu Tib arrived at Stanley Falls, and
was gladly welcomed by the scores of
Arab traders there until they learned
that he had entered the service of the white
men, and that he had come back to kill the
trade by which he and they have thrived.
The world will watch with interest the out
come of this unique experiment. It was
Tippu Tib who six years ago led the Arabs
several hundreds or miles down the Congo
to Stanley Falls, the latest stronghold of
their trade. It is he who has been deputed
to drive them back again unless they obey
the laws of the Congo State and give up
their inhuman traffic.
Among the crowds who flocked to wel
come him on his return were 500 Arabs who
had pitched their camp on one of the big
islands below the falls. They were just
completing their preparations to start down
the river on a great slave-hunting raid.
Tippu Tib astonished them with the news
that he was the Governor of the Stanley
Falls district, and that they must ravage the
country no longer for slaves. It is not sur
prising that they heard this command from
the lips of one who had long been the great
est slave and ivory dealer in Central Africa
with astonishment and incredulity. When
they found th • t he meant what he said they
bluntly told him that they would do as they
pleased. Their leader, Saidbin-Habub, al
most as famous a trader as Tippu Tib him
self, told his former friend that he would
not recognize his authority.
Both these men have played a prominent
part in the stories told by African explorers,
and both of them are apparently destined
to figure largely in the current 'history of
Central Africa. Fifteen years ago, when
Livingstone was writing "his “Last Jour
nals,” he told how Said-bin-Habub was
fighting against King Mirambo. the power
ful native enemy of the Arabs. He de
scribed Tippu Tib as “carrying things with
a high hand,” insisting that all the chiefs
within his reach send their ivory to him,
and putting one chief in chains who had re
fused to give him a monopoly of his trade.
The two Zanzibar traders then lived east of
Lake Tanganyika, and they did not possess
half the wealth and influence they attained
later, when they crossed Tanganyika and
pushed their enterprises far afield to
Nyangwe and Stanley Falls, 800 miles from
the scene of their earlier exploits.
These two powerful traders, then, are
pitted against each other in the battle of
civilization against slavery. If Tippu Tib
remains true to his pledges to put down the
slave trade in the district he is to govern we
may expect any day to hear exciting news
from Stanley Falls. All we know as yet is
that, owing to the sudden and unexpected
return of Tippu Tib to Stanley Falls, only a
part of his force of 2,000 adherents and
soldiers is there, a"nd he does not feel strong
enough at present to exert all the force
needed to compel the submission of the slave
dealers. He has, therefore, asked the
Congo State to send him a small force of
soldiers and two European officers, whose
advice and encouragement he thinks will
greatly assist him during the first months
of his new undertaking.
Many of the Zanzibaris at Stanley Falls
are Tippu Tib's own people, and they, of
course", have yielded obedience to his wishes.
But when he left the fails, over a year ago,
he took with him up the river a large part
of his force, who have since been carrying
on his ivorv trade at Kasongo, nearly 4<X)
miles south of the falls. When he left Zan
zibar with Stanley last spring for the
Congo he sent some of his people overland
to Kasongo to give notice of his new plans.
When the news reaches Kasongo it is prob
able that a considerable force will at once
rejoin Tippu Tib at Stanley Falls, and he
will then be strong enough to make himself
master of the situation. Kasongo is
the little city that Tippu Tib has built in
Central Africa. It owes its importance
solely to the fact that it is the centre of his
enterprises. Lieut. Gleerup, who visited
the town a year ago last spring, says it oc
cupies a lovely valley a few miles from the
Congo. It has 8,000 inhabitants, rectangu
lar streets and a number of stone and
cement buildings, and Gleerup calls the
residence of Tippu Tib, which is built of
stone, two stories high, and covers a large
area, a “vast and magnificent building.,’
i >r. Lenz wrote last j r ear that the influence
of Tippu Till was far greater throughout all
tiie upper Congo region than that of the
Congo State. It was Tippu Tib who dis
united the natives for 100 miles along both
banks of the Congo when the tribes near
Stanley Falls tried to fight him soon after
Ii - first arrival there. He simply sent his
i'.O tO soldiers, armed with guns, along the
river, destroyed every implement of war
fare he could find, and threatened to put to
death any native who was caught with
Weapons in his hands. “The natives,”
wrote Dr. Lenz, “are now incapable of any
resistance.”
Stanley Falls is the centre of a large popu
lation of fishermen. The natives catch
enormous quantities of fish, which they
barter with other tribes for agricultural or
other products. On the large island where
the buildings of the white station were
burned by the Arabs last year, Tippu
Tib has re-established the headquarters
of the Congo State. Will he prove worthy
of tin- trust reposed in him? Will he, if
need fie, engage in warfare with his coun
trymen, his brother Mohammedans, his
former friends? Time alone can tell.
Stanley has the fullest confidence in him,
and in the last letter ho wrote before start
ing on the last stage of his journey to Wa
de ai the explorer said he believed Tippu
Tib would be perfectly faithful and would
prove to lie tin best Governor who could be
found for the district of Stanley Falls.
A COW BOY
Who Was Very Careful About His
Reputation.
from the Chicago Tribune.
Ho was riding fast and recklessly and
fooked like an animated arsenal when wo
first sighted him coming down the trail. As
he came nearer, however, we saw that ho
only had a six-shooter and a knife in his belt
and a repeating carbine across his lap. He
drew up short and yelled:
“Hello, strangers!”
Then he offered us a drink of very red
whisky, and took a remarkable long pull at
the bottle himself. His eyes were blood
shot, his voce thick, and he looked like one
of the bad men.
“Hay!” he exclaimed, “I been down hav
in' a time—been on the biggest tear you
ever seen—eight days. Now I'm goiDg back
to the ranch.
“Yes<”
“A man insulted me back here —give me
alow, dirty, mean insult 1 Run down my
boss, sir! Yes, sir; said mean things ’bout
my hoss; made low-down, ornery retmnks
’bout this hoss I’m ridin’l”
“Year
“That’s what he done, stranger, an’ he
meant it, too. Say, I come mighty near
lelliu’ him what I thought of him—only one
thing kept from it.”
"What was that'”
“I was 'fraid it might make a talk ’bout
me, gen’l’men; feared it might start people
talkin’’bout me! You know it don’t take
much to start gossip, an’l wouldn’t have
stories git started tliat I was quarreling for
'most anything 1 I don’t want to l o hi no
trouble at all, on ’count o’ the bad refutation
it’s sure to give a feller. T here ain’t never
neon no scandal ’bout, me yet; but, blank it
all, I brieve if that dashed sneakin’ coyote
ever hops onto my hoss agin an’ goes to

V tell him what 1 think of him if it raises
the biggest talk ’bout me you ever heerod

SIAMESE AMAZONS.
A King’s Military Guard Composed of
Entirely of Women.
London Cor. of the Chicago Tribune.
Among the other visitors to the exhibi
tion has been the Prince of Siam, brother to
the king. He is a little man, but has an
olive complexion and black eyes, speaks
English perfectly and has charming man
ners. As an example of one of the good re
sults of the American exhibition, during his
visit he made a most careful inspection of
the goods in the main building and spent
thousands of dollars on all the useful things
he saw which were rip to the present time
unknown to Siam. He gave an order for
100 typewriters to one manufacturer,
a large order for safes to an
other, ordered four dozen carpet sweepers,
a steam engine, and a number of other in
genious things which attracted his atten
tion, so that these exhibitors have the satis
faction of knowing that they have opened
a market for themselves in Siam at no
greater expense than going to the American
exhibition. The fashion having been set by
the Prince, large orders for all these goods
he assured them would follow; it would
therefore appear that the people in his coun
try, which very few of us stop to realize is
twice as large in its area as Franco, and has
a population of about 15,000,(XX) [>eoplo, are
all making rapid strides toward modern
civilization.
He gave us some curious information,
however, about the King’s amazons, the
Royal Guard being composed entirely of
women. This battalion consists of 400 wo
men, chosen from among the handsomest
and most robust girls in the country. They
receive excellent pay, and their discipline is
perfect. They are admitted to serve at the
age of 13, and are placed in the army of re
serve at the age of 25. From that period
they no longer serve about the King’s per
son, but are employed to guard the royal
palaces and the crown lands.
On entering the army the amazons make
a vow of chastity, for which there is no ex
emption unless any of them should attract
the King’s attention and be admitted among
his legitimate wives. The King’s choice sel
dom falls on the most beautiful, but on the
most skilled in military exercise. The cos
tume these women wear is very rich. Their
full dress is composed of a white woolen
robe, embroidered with gold. The cloth is
extremely fine and descends as far as
the knee; it is covered with a light
coat ofjjmail and a gilt cuirass. The
arms are free, and the head is covered with
a gilt casque. When wearing this dress on
state occasions their only weapon is a lance,
which they handle with wonderful dexter
ity. With their undress they are armed
with a musket. The battalion is composed
of four companies, and each company of 100
women commanded by a Captain of their
own sex. Should the Captain die the com
pany is drilled during three days by the
King, who appoints the most competent to
succeed to the command.
Tne King of Siam never undertakes any
expedition without being accompanied by
his female guard, uor does he ever hunt, or
even ride, without an escort of the same
guard, who are devotedly attached to his
person. Every individual of the battalion
has five negresses attached to her service,
and, having thus no domestic occupation,
she can devote herself exclusively to the
duties of her profession. There is a parade
ground near the city, where one company
are stationed for two days every week to
exercise themselves in the use of
the lance, the pistol, and the rifle.
The King attends once a month at
those exercises accompanied by his
brother, who shares in some degree the
sovereign power, and distributes prizes to
those most deserving. When the death of
one of the parties ensues, the deceased
receives a magnificent funeral, and the high
priest pronounces a panegyric declaring
that the deceased by her valor has merited
eternal rest in the abode of the blessed. The
survivor receives the congratulations of
herwompanions, but as a measure of dis
cipline, she is sentenced to pass two months
away from her company in fasting and
prayer. The military organization of this
battalion is so perfect that the entire army
endeavors to imitate it.
Library for the Asylum.
Editor Morning News: In a recent
communication, which was extensively
copied throughout the State, I proposed a
plan for securing a library for the benefit
of many unfortunates confined iu the State
Lunatic Asylum, who are not only not too
much demented to read, but who earnestly
crave some such intellectual exercise and
enjoyment for the mind.
My plan was an appeal to the good peo
ple of the State to send to the Asylum such
second-hand books or novels which, having
been read and laid aside, they might easily
spare. There is hardly an intelligent fam
ily in the State which has not somo old sec
ond-hand books or magazines of old date,
that are more of rubbish about the house
than anything else, yet no matter how
much they may be defaced, so all
the reading is in them, they
will be acceptable. The people may feel
ashamed to send au old book, but the patients
don’t care for its newness but only the read
ing in it, and you can readily see if every
friend of the institution will send only one
or two books how soon a library of several
thousand volumes will be collected. In
response to my appeal lam happy to bo able
to say that some books are being sent in
every day, and if you will publish this
appeal so the people may more generally
know the needs more will assuredly be sent,
and though there is no appropriation by the
Legislature for the purpose the board of
trustees have voted SIOO to be expended for
books. I have also sent autograph letters
to a large number of benevolent individuals
and publishing houses, and am interesting
myself and others very zealously in tins
good work, and with your valuable aid I
feel assured that our efforts will be crowned
with success. Several of the editors of the
State press have invited donations to be left
with them to lie forwarded. Persons de
siring to send siugle books or packages, not
too large for the mails, can put wrappers
around them and postage (at the rate of lc.
pci- ounce), and send through the mail to
Dr. T. O. Powell, Superintendent, or Mr. L.
J. Lamar, steward, or Dr. I. H. Hail,
assistant physician, at Milledgeviile, Ga.

The Cooking of Grouse.
From Hoc London World.
That story of “a great cook’s advice to
grouse raters,” which is always disinterred
about this time, and has been once more
going “the round,” so far as I know,
"appeared first in the chatty notes of Mr.
Augustus Hala,’’ but was published five
years ago in the pages of Bnily's Magazine
hs part of a contribution to that periodical
by one of my correspondents, who speaks of
Alexis Soyer as an old friend. Briefly (ho
great cook’s advice was as follows: “Ah,Sir;
grouse, to be well eujoyed, sbould be eaten
in secret, and take my experience as your
guide, do not let the bird you eat be raw
and bloody, but well roastod, uttd drink
with it at intervals a little sweet cham
pagne. Nevermind your knife and fork;
suck the bones and dwell upon them. Take
plenty of time; that is the true way to en
joy a game bird. Somo gentlemen here
(Reform Club) think they can teach mo the
mode of my art. 1 hear them; but they
are as mere children iu their methods of
eating; they follow the superstitions of their
fellows. Bab!” Sover seems to have be
stowed much attention on the cooking of
grouse. One of his modes was to wrap the
bird to be roasted in slices of fat bacon and
sprigs of beat.her well steeped in whisky.
This is “grouse ala Rob Roy.”

A SHAM BATTLE IN THE ORIENT.
Picturesque Celebration of the Birth
day of the Queen’s Mother.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
M. Bihouard, the resident General of Ton
quin, recently paid a visit to Hue, the
capital of Anam, an account of which is
published by the A venir du Tonkin. The
Queen’s mother’s 70th birthday was being
celeb rail'll at the time, and the resident Gen
eral and his staff were present at the fes
tivities, being invited to view them from the
royal barge. The sports took place on the
embankment between the river and the city
wall. Fifteeu armed elephants, with their
keepers in front, drivers behind, and
soldiers iu the howdah, were arranged in
battle array at one side of the field. Op
posite to them were several lines of soldiers
—lancers and fusileers—and in the middle
were several rows of dummy soldiers aud a
few field pieces. At a given signal the sol
diers advanced, to their war cries. The
elephants also advanced and when at a cer
tain distance from the dummies the signal
for action was given by redoubled beatings
of the tom-tom. The artillery was dis
charged, the fusileers fired their rifles, the
laurel's placed their lances in rest and a
general advance was made. The drivers
urged the elephants on to the dummies.
Some of the animals rushed on, tearing the
dummies with their tusks, throwing them
in the air, and then seeking fresh vic
tims; others, frightened at, the noise
of the cannon ran away, notwith
standing the efforts of the leaders and
drivers, who exerted them greatly to bring
them up to the fight. When all the dum
mies had been destroyed other manoeuvres
took place of which the most interesting
were the destruction and passing of ob
stacles. The enemy was entrenched behind
barricades of bamboo and paillottes. The
elephants, under the command of their
leader, undertook the methodical demolition
of everything thatopposed their march, and
notwithstanding shouts, reports of cannons
and rifles, and burning brands which were
thrown among them, but which they knew
well how to avoid. They also overturned
and threw 7 to a distance large copper
pans containing some suffocating substance
giving off a thick smoke. When the obsta
cles had disappeared the sham fight w 7 as
brought to a close by an exciting charge by
all the elephants in line. There was also to
have lieen a fight between an elephant and
a panther. When an encounter of this kind
takes place the panther is subjected to mu
tilations beforehand, so as to deprive it as
far as possible of the power of hurting not
only the elephants but the men who mount
them. On this occasion the panther had
probably been fix) much enfeebled, for it
died before the fight came off.
Murder of Uncle Jack Hardnut.
Uncle Jack, as he was generally called,
was born aud raised in Tippling county,
Georgia., eked out an existence there by
digging wells, splitting rails and drinking
whisky, until the day before his death.
When not employed he would hug the chim
ney-corner of the village tavern bar-room
and watch his chances; that is after a man
took a drink of liquor and set the tumbler
down, with a few drops left in the bottom
of it, Jack, with his eagle eye would notice
it and put the finishing touches to it. One
day, while Jack was the sole occupant of
the bar-room, the doctor of the vil
lage entered, and taking a tumbler
from beneath the counter, placed it on top,
poured some liquid but of a bottle into it
and hurried out to the kitchen, without
perceiving Jack, w 7 ho moved to the counter
with alacrity, smelled of the tumbler’s con
tents, and the aroma being satisfactory,
placed himself outside of it and hurried
with giant strides to, nobody knew where.
After the doctor returned with a dipper of
hot water, (to make a decoction of some
sort for the lady of the house, who was
sick) and found the contents of the tumbler
gone, he questioned every member of the
house, about its disappearance,
but they were ignorant of it.
The landlord allowed that Uncle Jack
must have drank it. If he did, said the
doctor, he is as dead as a door nail now; it
was vitriol, enough to kill six mules. A
search was immediately instituted, but Jack
could not be found, although every citizen
of the village participated. The mill pond
was dragged, the creek, a mile above and
below was waded and carefully searched,
but without success. When the doctor
mentioned that Jack had dropped himself
to modify his burning sensation, every
well was pumped dry, at the end of which,
Jack turned up missing. For a whole week,
there was but one question discussed
“Where can Uncle Jack have drowned
himself?” About that time the doctor was
called to see a patient eight miles from the
village and within a mile of the place, 10,
behold, there was Uncle Jack splitting rails
not far from the road. The doctor stopped,
called, and Jack hastened to him. After
shaking hands and exchanging “how-dees,”
the following dialogue took place:
Dr. —“Didn’t you drink something very
strong at the tavern about a week ago?”
U. J. (after a minute’s study)—“Come to
think about it, I did.”
Dr. —“Uncle Jack, that was enough
vitriol to kill a dozen men.”
U_ J. —“I always thought there was
something curious about that darned stuff;
everytime I bio wed my nose, it burnt a hole
in my handkerchief.”
The doctor, a puffy man, almost split his
sides laughing, shouting and yelping for
more than ten minutes; when he got in
speaking condition again, he asked Jack
when he would come to the village,
and being told Friday evening, reached for
his medicine case and gave Jack a drink of
the genuine stuff, and left him enjoying the
effects of it. That man, said tne doctor to
himself, will never die, unless he gets
killed.
As soon as the doctor returned to the vil
lage and told his story, like a wildfire it
went all over the neighborhood. It was
agreed that Jack should have a grand re
ception on his return. The doctor invited
all the M. D.’s in the county, for the purpose
of having a consultation as to Jack's consti
tution, which they had, and after the most
careful examination, due consideration and
mature deliberation, it was decided that he
was fire aud water proot, had a copper-lined
throat, a cast iron stomach ami not one
tincture, known to the medical faculty,
could have the least serious effect on him.
Although this was the verdict of science,
fate willed it otherwise.
A farmer in Aqua county (adjoining
Tippling) hired Jack to dig a well. At first
he refused the job, because it was a prohi
bition county, but when he win assured
that be could get all the whisky he wanted
he went it is well known that prohibition
is the cause of anew industry, carried on
extensively in all dry counties; that of
manufacturing a stuff nickname 1 “whisky,”
but m reality the mast rank, musty ) to-toil
known. Hti k your finger in it two an Ia
half seconds and the nail drops off.
When Jack arrived to dig the well
lie took two drinks of this prohi
bition whisky to steady his nerves,
which had been out of order since his grand
reception. Instead of the good effects he
expected, it killed him, as dead as a pickled
mackerel in less than three minutes after
the second drink. It caused a great gloom
in Tippling county. His friends had him
buried in style, placed a nice tombstone
over his grave with this epitaph:
