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 tollin’ mean, dirtv lies 'bout him. I’ll Jes' up V tell him what 1 think of him if it raises the biggest talk ’bout me you ever heerod in Montuuoy!” 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. “C Sharp.” 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.” Erysipelas and Obstinate Ulcers, Boils, Carbuncles and Running Sores of every kind are cleansed, the poison-germs destroyed and a speedy cure effected by using "Darbys Prophylactic Fluid. “1 have been afflicted with the Erysipelas.

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: ■JACK ffAitONCT, AOISD Cd VRAM. Uncle .Jack, so jolly and frisky He was killed by prohibition whisky.
