The Voting Machine.

One of the incidents of the recent elections that deserves notice is the employment of voting machines in Brooklyn. The New York Evening Post chronicles the statement that they proved a complete and satisfying success

Brooklyn's vote was very full and it was recorded without friction or delay, enabling the full totals for the entire city to be accurately known within an hour after the closiDg of the polls.

Machines broke down in two or three cases, owing to the malicious injuries ID flicted, it is charged, by enemies of the system, but within a few minutes they were replaced by others, and nobody lost his vote in consequence.

The result is said £0 have proved entirely satisfactory to all Brooklynites and is ca'culatod to greatly strengthen the faith of all sincere seekers after ballot reform in machine voting.

Voting machines have been tried before in a limited way. That they can secure an absolutely accurate count which nobody can tamper with has been demonstrated, but never so completely as in the Brooklyn election.

What came very near being an ugly wreck, occurred on the Vandalia at 12:10 Wednesday. The second section of the south bound freight, No. 65, and the north bound local, No, 64. came together in a head end collision just below the stock yard switch on the curve, in the center of a long tressle. It seems that the south bound had orders to back in at the junction and were slowing for that point. The local failed to get their orders and were coming as fast as usual on the heavy grade. Had it not been that the train going south had slackened up, there would have been an awful smash, but as it was, only the pilots and front parte of the engines were broken up. The tender of one was derailed and a bos car or two mashed. TJhe engineer and firemen all jumped and with the exception of a few scratches, were not hurt. The wreck train was called and the track was cleared in time for the passenger trains to go. through on time __

Then the light in the doorway was darkened. A woman entered alone. 1 looked around to see who jt was, then fell upon the ground 111 salutation, for before 111 was Unandi, mother of the king who was named "Mother of the Heavens the same lady whom my .mother had refused the milk. "Hail, Mother of the Heavens!" I said "(ireeting, Mopo!'' she answered. 'Hay. whv does Baleka weej,v is it because the sorrow of women is upon her?" "Ask of her. great chieftaiuess," said.

Then Baleka spoke. '1 weep, mother of a king, because this man, who is my brother, has come from him who is my lord ami thy son, to slay that which shall be born of me. O thou whose breasts have given suck, plead for me! Thy son was not slain at birth." "Perchance it were well if he had been so slain. Baleka," said Unandi "then had many another man lived to look upon the sun who now is dead." "At the least, as an infant he was good and gentle, and thou mightest love liim, mother of the Zulu." "Never, Baleka! As a balie he bit my breast and tore my hair: as the man is, so was the babe." "Yet may his child oe otherwise, mother of the heavens! Think, thou hast 110 grandson to comfort thee in thy age Wilt thou, then, see all thy stock wither: The king, nr.i lord, lives in war He. too. uiSy die. and what then?" "Then the root of Senzangacona yet grows green Has the king no brothers?" ''They are not of thy flesh, mother. W,hat! thou dost not hearken? Then as woman to woman 1 plead with thee. Save my child or slay ine with my child!"

Now the heart of Unandi grew gentle, "How may this be done, Mopo?" sli« said. "The king must see the dead babe, and if he suspect, and even reeds have ears, you know the heart of Chaka and where we shall lie tomor row." "Are there then no other newborn babes in Zululand?" said Baleka, sitting up and speaking in a whisper like the hiss of a snake. "Hearken, Mopo! Is not your wife also in labor? Now hear me, Mother of the Heavens, and my brother hear me also. Think not to play with me in this matter. I will s*ave nay child or you twain shall perish. For 1 will tell the king that you came to me, the two of you, and whispered plots into my ear—plots to save the child and slay the king. Now choose, and swiftly!"

She sank back, there was silence and we looked upon one another. Then Unandi spoke. "Give me your hand, Mopo, and swear that you will be faithful to me in this secret, as 1 swear to you. But if you break your oath, then beware, for 1 will not die alone!" "1 swear. Mother of the Heavens," 1 answered. "It is well, son of Makedama." "It is well, my brother,".said-Baleka. "Now go swiftly, knowing that if you fail 1 will bring you to your death! Yes even if my own death is the price!'

So 1 went. "Whither go you?" asked the guard at the gate. "1 go to bring my medicines, men of the king," 1 answered.

I reached my own huts, there to find that my wife Macropha was delivered of twins. 1 sent away all in the hut except my other wife, Anadi, 6he who eight days gone had borne me a son. The second of the twins was born it was a boy, born dead. The first was a girl, she who lived to be Nada the Beautiful, Nada the Lily. Then a thought came into my heart. Here was a path to run on! "Give me the boy babe," 1 said to Anadi "He is not dead Give "him to me that 1 may take him outside the kraal and awake him to life by my medicine." "It ia of no use—the child is dead, said Anadi. "Give him to me, woman!" 1 6aid fiercely, and she gave me the body.

Then I took him and wrapped him up in my bundle of medicines, and outside of all 1 rolled a mat of plaited grass. "Suffer none to enter the hut till 1 return," 1 said "and speak no word1of the child that seems to be dead. If you suffer any to enter, or if you speak a word, then my medicine will not work and the babe will be dead indeed."

So 1 went, leaving, the women wonder tng, for it is not our custom to save both when twins are born: but 1 ran swiftly to the gates of the Emposeni. "1 bring the medicines, men of the king.!" 1 said to the guards. "Pass in," they answered, 1 passeil through the gates and into the hut of Baleka Uuandi was alone the hut with my sister. "The child is born." said the mother of the king "Look on him, Mopa, son of Makedama?" 1 looked. He was a great child, with large black eyes like the eyes of Chaka the king, and Unandi, too, looked at me. "Where is it?" she whispered. 1 loosed the mat and drew the dead child from the medicines, glancing around fearfully as 1 did so. "Give me the living 'babe,". .1 whi. pered back :. .They gave it to me and 1 took of drug that I knfw and rubbed it on the tongue of the child. Now this drug has the^power to make the tongue it touches dumb for awhile. Then 1 wrapped up the child in my medicines and again bound the bundle around with the tn

But around tlie throat of the stillborn babe 1 tied a string of fiber, as though 1 had strangled it, and wrapped it loosely in a piece of matting. Now for the first time 1 spoke to Baleka. "Woman," 1 said, "and thou also, Mother of the Heavens, I have done your wish, but kuowthis, before all is finished this deed shall bring about the death of many. Be secret as the grave, for the grave vawus for you both." 1 went a.'^ain, bearing the mat containing the dead child in my right hand. But the bundle of medicines that held the living one I fastened across my shoulders 1 passed out of the Emposeni, and as 1 went 1 field up the bundle in my right haud to the guards, showing them that which was in it, but saying nothing "It is go( d," they said, nodding.

But now ill fortune found me, for just outside the Emposeni I met three of the king's messengers. "Greeting, son of Makedama!" they said. "Tlu king summons you to the Intunkulu"—that is the royal house, my father. "Good!" I answered. "1 will come now but first 1 would run to my owu place to see how it goes with Macropha. my wife. Here is that which the king seeks," and I showed them the dead child. "Take it to him, if you will." "That is not the king's word, Mopo,' they answered. "His word is that you should stand before him."

And how dared 1 go before the Lion bearing his living child hidden 011 my back? Yet to disobey was to be lost! "Good! I coine," 1 answered, and we walked to the gate of the Intunkulu.

It was sundown. Chaka was sitting in the little courtyard in front of his hut.. I went down on my knees before him and gave the royal salute. Byete and so 1 staid. "Rise, sou of Makedama!" he said. "1 cannot rise, Lion of the Zulu," 1 answered. "1 cannot rise, having royal blood on my hands, till the king has pardoned me." "What is it?" he asked.

I pointed to the mat in my hand. "Let me look at it." Then 1 undid the mat, and he looked on the child and laughed aloud. "He might have been a king," he said as he bade a councilor take it away "Mopo, thou hast slain one who might have been a king. Art thou not afraid?" "No, Black One," 1 answered "the child is slain by order of one who is a king." "Sit down and let us talk," said Chaka, for his mood was idle. "Tomorrow thou shalt have five oxen for this deed thou shalt choose them from the royal herd." "The king is good he sees that my belt is drawn tight, he satisfies my hun ger. Will the king suffer that 1 go? My wife is in labor and 1 would visit her." "Nay, stay awhile say how it is with Baleka, iny sister and thine?" "it is well." "Did she weep when you took the babe from her?" "Nay, she wept not. She said, 'My lord's will is my will.'" "Good! Had she wept she had been slain also. Who was with her?" -i "The Mother of the Heavens."

The brow of Chaka darkened. "Unandi, my mother, what did she there? By myself I swear, though she is my mother, if 1 thought"— and he ceased.

There was a silence, then he spoke again. "Say, what is in that mat?" and he pointefl with his little assegai at the bundle on my shoulders. "Medicine, king." "Thou dost carry enough to docter an impi. Undo the mat and let me look at it."

Now, if 1 undid the mat 1 feared be must see the child and then "It is tagati—it is bewitched, O king. It is not well to look 011 medicine." "Open!" he answered angrily. "What! may I not look at that which 1 am'forced to swallow—L. who am the first of doctors?" "Death is the king's medicine," 1 answered, lifting the bundle and laying it as far from him in the shadow of the fence as 1 dared. Then 1 bent over it, slowly undoing the rimpis with which it was tied, while the sweat of terror ran down my face. Inside were the brown leaves and roots of medicine beneath them was the senseless babe wrapped in dead moss. "Ugly stuff!" said the king, taking snuff, "And now begone! Take my advige kill thy children, as 1 kill mine, lest they live to worry thee."

I did up the bundle fast, saluted the king and passed from before hit 1 Scarcely was I outside when the baoe began to squeak in the bundle. If it had been one minute before! "What," said a soldier as passed 'have you got a puppy hidden upder your rnoocha (girdle composed of skin and tails of oxen), Mopo?"

I made no answer, but hurried on to my huts. "1 have recovered the child, women." 1 said

Anadi took him and looked at him. "The boy seems bigger than he was.' she said. "The breath of life has come into him and puffed him out," 1 answered. "His eyes are not as his eyes were,' she said again. "Now they are big and black, like the eyes of the king." "My spirit looked upon his eyes and made them beautiful," 1 answered. "This child has a birthmark on his thigh," she said a third time. "That which I gave you had no mark." "1 laid my medicine there,", 1, answered 'X'-'rt .^c "It i» uoi the same child," she said sullenly. "It is a foundling, who,will lay ill luck at our doors."

"Peace, witch!" 1 cried. "How dart you to speak thus from a lying heart! Do you wish to draw down a curso upon our roof? Would you make us all food for the king's spear? Say such words again and you shall sit within the circle —the Ingomboco shall know you for a witohl"

So I stormed 011. till at length she fell at my feet praying for mercy.

CHAPTER VI. TI1K INGOMBOCO.

(lil the deed!"

Now the years went on and this matter slept. Nothing more was heard

ol

it, but still it only slept and, my father, I feared greatly for the hour when it should awake For the secret was known by two women—Unandi, Mothei of the Heavens, and Baleka, my sister wife of the king and by two more— Macropha and Anadi. my wives—it was guessed at. How. then, should it remain a secret forever? Moreover, this came about, that Uuandi and Baleka could not restrain their fondness foi that ehild who was called my son and named Umslopogaas, but who was the son of Chaka, the king, and of Baleka and the grandson of Unandi. So it happened that very often one or the othei of them would come into my hut, making pretense to visit my wives, and take the boy upon her lap and fondle it. In vain did 1 pray them to forbear. Lovt pulled at their heartstrings more heavily than my words, and still they came This was the end of it—that Chaka saw the child sitting 011 the knee of Unandi his mother. "What does my mother with that brat of thine, Mopo?" he asked of me. "Cannot she kiss me, if she will find a child to kiss?" And he laughed like a wolf, 1 said that 1 did not know, and the matter passed over for awhile. But after that Chaka caused his mother to be watched. Now the boy Umslopogaas grew great and strong there was no such lad of his years for a day's journey around. But from a babe he was soine what surly, of few words and, like his father, Chaka, afraid of nothing. In all the world there were but two people whom he loved these were 1, Mopo who was called his father, and Nada. she who was said to be his twin sister Now of Nada it must be told that as the boy Umslopogaas was the strongest and bravest of children, so the gir! Nada was the gentlest and the most fair

Of a truth, my father, 1 believe that her blood was not all Zulu, though this 1 cannot say for certain. At the least, her eyes were softer and larger than those of our people, her hair longer and less tightly curled, and her skin was lighter—more of the color of pure copper. These things she had from her mother, Macropha. though she was fairer than Macropha—fairer indeed than any woman of my people that 1 have seen. Of her mother, Macropha, there is this to toll: She was of Swazi blood, and was brought to the kingV kraal with captives after a raid and given to me as a wife by the king. Ii was said that she was the daughter of Swazi headman of tho tribe of the Hal lakazi, and that she was born of his wife is true, but whether he was her father 1 do not know for I have heard from the lips of Macropha herself thai before she was born there was a white man staying at her father's kraal He was a Portuguese from the coast, a handsome man, and skilled in the work ing of iron.

The white man loved the mother ot my wife, Macropha, and some held that Macropha was his daughter, and not that of the Swazi headman. At least 1 know this, that before my wife's birth the Swazi killed the white man, saying that he had "plowed with his heifer But none can tell the truth of these matters, and 1 only speak of tlieni be cause the beauty of Nada was rather as the beauty of the white people than ours, and this well might be so if hei grandfather were a white man.

Now Umslopogaas and Nada were al ways together. Together they ate, to gether they slept and wandered ,they thought one thought and spoke with one tongue. Ou! it was pretty to see them Twice while they were children did Umslopogaas save the life of Nada.

After this there was quiet

till the Feast of the First Fruits was ended. But few people were slain at this feast, though there was a great In gomboco, or witch hunt, and many were smelled out by the witch doctors at work ing magic against the king. Now in Zululand the whole people cowered be: fore the witch doctors. No man knew but that 011 the morrow he would be tonched by the wand of an lsanusi, as WH named finder of witches, and led away to his death. For awhile Chaka said nothing, and so long as the doctors smelled out those only whom he wished to slay, he was well pleased. But when they began to do those to death whom he did not desire to kill, he grew angry Yet the custom of the land was that lie whom the witch doctors touched must die, be and all his house therefore the king scarcely dared to save even those whom he' loved. One night 1 came to doctor him, for he was sick in his mind. On that very day there had been an Ingomboco, and five of the bravest captains of the army had been smelled out by the Abaugoma, the witch finders, together with many others. All had been slain, and men had been sent to kill the wiveaand children of the dead. ...Jew,

ADDS HIS EVIDENCE.

Tho people in Indiana willingly adc£ their evidence to that which has already been given in favor of Morrow's Kid-ne-oide, the beet remedy that has ever been sold in Crawfordsville for backache, kidnoy and urinary disorders, sleeplessness and nervousness. Our druggists report wonderful cured and state that lvid-ne-oidsare dally increasing in the opinion of our people. Kid-ne-oids act directly upon the kidneys and nerves and restore them to their natural condition. Good kidneys make good blood, good blood makes strong nerves. Kid-ne oids make good kidneys and Btrong nerves.

E. O, Scoven, 243 Buckeye street, Ko komo, Ind., says: "I have been blessed with good health for the most of my life until about a year Bgo I began to have a pain in my back in the region of the kidneys. At first I paid little attention to It, but later I grew so much worse that I was forced to. I did not sleep well at night and wis often forced to rise and discharge, urine and in the morning I rose feeling tired and unrested throughout the# body. Recently Morrow's Kid-re-oida began to gain a great reputation in these parts and being the very remedy I required I secured a box and fol«" lowed the directions for using theta closely. They drove out all the pain and I have not had any

"It is tiio witch doctors who rule in Zululand, and not 1. Mopo, son of Makedama," he said to me. "Where, then, i£ it to end? Shall I be smelled out and slain? Tell 1110. how may 1 be free ol them?" "Those who walk the Bridge of Spears, (J king, fall oil' into tho Nowhere," answered darkly. "Even witch doctoro cannot keep a footing on that bridge. Has not a witch doctor a heart that can cease to beat? Has he not blood thai can bo made to How?"

Chaka looked at me strangely. "Thou art a bold man who darest to speak thus to me, Mopo," I10 said. "Dost thou not know that it is sacrilege to touch an lsanusi?" "Hearken, O kingl It is indeed sacrilege to touch a true lsanusi, but what if he smell out falsely, bringing those ta death who aro innocent of evil? Is ,r--then sacrilege to bring hun to that ent( which he has given to many another! Say, O king!" "Good words!' answered Chaka. "Now tell me, son of Makedama, ho« may this matter be put to proof?"

Then I leaned forward, whispering into the ear of the Black One and ha nodded heavily

Thus 1 .spoke then, because t. too,saw the evil of the Isanusis. One morning thereafter a new thing came to pass in the royal kraal, for the king himself ran out, crying aloud to all people to come and seo-the evil that had been worked np-.n him by a wizard. They came together and saw this. Un the doorposts of the gateway of the lutunkulu, the house of the king, were great smears of blood. The knees o{ men strong 111 battle trembled when they saw it. Women wailed aloud as thej wail over the dead they wailed because of the horror-of the omen "Who has done this thing?" cried Chaka in a terrible voice. "Who hao dared to bewitch the king and to strike blood upon his house?'

There was no answer, and Chaka spoke again. "This is no little matter he said, "to be washed away with tli« blood of one or two to be forgotteu. The man who wrought it shall not die alone or travel with a few to the world of spirits. All his tribe shall go with him, down to the baby in hiB bnt and the cattle in his kraal I Let messenger* go out east and west, and north and south, and summon the witch doctor* from every quarter! Let them summon the captains from every regiment, and the headmen from every kraall On tha tenth day froin now the circle of the Ingomboco shall be set, and there shall be such a smelling out of wizards and of witches as has not been known in Zulalancll"

The value of rubies bfiow the weigh! of one carat ranges from $10 to $40 per carat, while stones of greater weight than four carats are. of such exceptional occurrence as to command fancy prices. When a perfect ruby of five carats is brought into the market ten times as much will be offered for it as for a diamond of the same weight. The supposed largest ruby known is one brought from China, which now forms a part of the imperial crown jewels of Russia. The two most important rubies ever known in this country were brought here in 1875. One was a dark-colored stone, cushion, shape, weighing 37 carats the other a blunt stone, drop shape, of 47 1-16 carats. The smaller stone, it is affirmed, was sold for about $50,000. while the larger one found a purchaser in Europe for $100,000.
