The deccased moa- l ~arch's name was Imphy, 2nd to the borror of the English traders the’ Iu In” ceremonies were at theirl ‘hizhest when they entered Eboe | Town. : The rites had been in operation for about two mouths, and already about forty people had been slain to appease the *‘lu Tu” gods. The old king was then lyinz in a grave which bad been dug for him, The hole was a large one and deep. ’ Lying in the same grave were nine | of the king's youngest wives and | their “deaths had been brought about in the most cruel manner. 1 Liach of the poor creawnres had | both her wrists and ankles broken, l g 0 that they could neither walk nor | crawl. In this state, and suffering I the most excriiciating paia, the l unfortunate ereatures were placed I at the Lottom of the grave, seven I of them lying side by side. The | hody of the king was then laid on them in a transverse direction, The two remaininy women were !

Surpended from vorious | trees were the Lodies of soveral | men. These poer fellows were | also enduring the most u;;mnzing‘ death. In most instances holes ] had been bored through theic taot | just by the ankles. Through t 779! holes ropes were drawn, aund the men were then tied to a high trec. Thier heads were, 6f course, hang ing downward. ‘The men were there left to die The traders, as| they were proceeding along, were ! unvwilling witnesses of a frizhttful sacrificial execution. They saw a number of natives ina group, and want to the spot to sce what was taking ptace. To their horror the | white men saw a native tied by the l teet and neck. The rope attached ' to the neek was thrown over a tree in one direction, and the rope ats tached to the feet was tjed to a tree in the opposite direction. The ropes were then diawn tnghtly, and wken the body was distended to its ugmost length another native with a hatchet struck the neck and severed the head from the body. The head was taken to the grave where the king was lying, while the body was eaten by the cannibal natives.

' PLUCKY LAWYER WILSTX. | i S | He Reasoned With the Lynchers m:ilef They Saapped Pistols About Him. ' One ivcident in connection with . the lynching of James Deavin and ! Charles Tennyson at Corydon, Ind., at 1 o'clock last Thursday morning, s particularly noteworthy, and has since been the talk of the country. It was the nerve displayed b’y De puty Prosocutor Thomas J. Witson, of Tarrison county, who had the eourage todo whit no one else would rdo. i Jerry L. Suddarth; of Leaven } worth, is the prosecutor for the district of Harrison and Crawford ‘counties, and Mr. Wilson is his de puty for Harrison coynty, Heisa young man to occupy euch a place, but his brains, couraze and legal knowledge have already marked him as one of those upon whom honora are likely to fill in the fu ture. Nothing has raized him more in the estimation of the peos plte ofhis county than his action betore the mob. Mr. Wilson, or, as he is familiary called, “Tom,” suspected trouble, and, when he noticed country men riding into town in pairs about midnight, he knew what was éomming and eraid up to de what he ¢ould. He first went te town Marshil Will's G. Heth and told him he thought the mob was gathering, and agked him to go with bim to help guard the juil. Marshal Heth dia so at onee. Theadvauce guards of the reisulators had posted them eclves about town in pairs, when the thunder of the horses’ hoofs of the muin body was heard on tlm bridge a few hundred yards from the jail. In arother minute the mob had surrounded the jiil avd two, hundred pistols were heing brandished in theair. About fifty of the lynching party wore masks of various colors, while the large Bol¢ v ore none, hut were othervise disgtized. The masked men im anediately surrounded the jajl doces, while the others undertosk the job of keeping the town people hack at a gafe distance, =0 that none of the lynching squad could be ree ognized. “Stand back: get back!” com ‘ manded the leaders to the peojle; get away from bere!” and the citi j zens, with a few exceptions, | SSant Y | Several of the mob had foreed their way into the hall of the resi dence connecte | with the jail and had Sherit Shuck covered with revolvers, and were demanding the keys, which the sherift relused to give up. At this moment Deputy Prosecutor Wilgon pushed bis way through the crowd and mounted a riding block in front of the house. “IListen to me!” he shouted, “What do you waut here?” ‘ “We demand of the sheriff of Harrizon eounty the keys of the Jaill” Well, you can’t get them,” said Wilson,” ‘ “If we don’t get them to-night, we will bure the town and come back some other time and take them,” eried the leeder, to whiech sentiment the mob gave expression ‘approval, ~ “No, you won’t do anything of ‘the kind,” answered Wileon, in ; whose face a dozen pistols were gleaming. You would not disgrace } yourselves and the county by such an act.” “We've got enought of that talk,” several yelled ; “‘get down and go away from here,or we'll shoot you, ! too.” ““You'll notdo any such thing. You muast Jisten to me, Oh!l don’t eare for your mstols; I'm goa ing to make you hear me. Don’t put such a blot on the fair name of this county. To lynch these men either proves that there is a mob spirit in the community or that the courts do not do their duty.—~ The courts alway have doné their duty, and they will do it with these men, Deavin and Tennyson, Let the law take its course.” “Dry up! Get down trom there or you will get the next bullet from this pistol,” wis the reply from one of the mob,as he fired his ! revolver in the aiy, «J don't care for your threats,” returned the plucky young prose cuor. “You maust listen to reas ‘son, and I'n going to talk, I don't eare how much you shoot.” At this a dozen or more pistols ‘were thrust under Mr. Wilscn's inose ana there was an ominous clicking of the old-tashisned hams ' mers. Marshal Heth and Mr, Cyrus B. Lewis,who had made their way to ‘ where Mr. Wilson was facing the | mob, single-handed and unarmed, heard the clicking secompanied by ‘the cries of “Hang him, 00, if he don't etop telking!™ They expects ed eyery moment to see Wilsan shot, and they stolen up behind him,and grabbing him tightly,pull ed him down from the block and “away.their progress being accellar. ‘ated by the hurry of the mob.

Dr. Felix Oswald, wnting in the North American Review, gives what he calls ““American Augus ries." Among other things, he predicts that ia the near future arbor festivals will be two popular to be limited to a single day in the year. But he also predicts, judging from old~word analogies, that the progress ot forest destruction wil} before long reduce a large area of our farm lands to the necessity. of artificial irrigation. Dr. Os. wald says that all through the low lands ot tha2 southern cottoll states, especially in western Arkansas, western Georgla and central Alas bama, severe drouths will become a yearly afflictjon, and he predicts that a considerable portion of wes tern Missouri and southern Texas will become too dry for rgricult~ ure. i a The effect of stripping the coun try of its forests in two.fold. The penalty is not caly paid in parchs ing and long cotitinued drouthe, but in sudden and disastrovs floads. Dr. Oswald must have had the experence .of France in Lig mind when he alluded to the amalogies of the old world, One hundred years ago, during one of the many revolutions that have disturbed France, the common people seized on the preserves of the noblemen and destroyed the magnificent fors ests that had been carefully pros teetdd from mutilation. One of the results of the destruc: tion of theseggreat forests was that in seventeen of the depaitments of :outhern France the agricultur al and grazing lands were devass tated by the mountain torrents; ‘These flozds wereé followed by dis ustrous drouths aad a very large ‘and fruitful area was impoverished ! and depopnlated. According to the Boston Herald, which appears to have studied the figures, the cost to France in actu al mouey, ot tke foolish destruction of its forests, has already amounts ed to nearly 847,000,000, and even yet the effcets of the devastation of a century ago have not been re-] ‘moved. The national museum at = Washéington has on exhibition a! ‘eollection ot photographs which | give a vivid illustration of the na i ture ana extent of the devastation h_\yrnught in France by the common ' Heople during the revolution. ‘ On a smaller scale, perhips, but still on a seale large enough to at tract the serious attention of thoughtful men, the destruction ot forests in this coui try i going on, ‘the impelling motive beinz the oveed ter money. Especially is ’this true of the great forests ot the south. Since the war hundreds of thousands of miles of forests have ‘bceu destroyed, and the destruc tiou is going on more rapidly than ever. Congress appropriates only 810~ 000 for the preservation of the fors ests of the nation, while itis estis mated that $£60,000,000 worth of sumber is yearly stolen trom the public domain, The value of the wood consumed in the United States each year is estimated at $60,000,000,000. Unless the destruction that is now going on is stayed or supple mented by a wise and far-mchni} foresty policy, this country wil suffer as France did —Constitution.
