LAST OF THE VAMPIRES. BY PHIL ROBINSON. Do you remember the discovery of the “man-lizard” bones in a cave on the Amazon some time in the forties? Perhaps not. But it created a great stir at the time in the scientific world and in a lazy sort of way interested men and women of fashion'. For a day or two it was quite the correct thing for Belgravia to talk of “connecting links,” of “the evolution of man from the reptile,” and “the reasonableness of the ancient myths” that spoke of centaurs and mermaids as actual existences. The fact was that a German Jew, an India rfibber merchant, working, his way with the usual m6b of natives through a eahucho forest along the Maranon, came upon some bones on the river bank where he had pitched his camp. Idle curiosity made him try to put them together, when he found, to his surprise, that he had before him the skeleton of a creature with human legs and feet, a dog-like head and immense bat-like wings. Being a shrewd man, he saw the possibility of money being made out of such a curiosity; so he put all the bones he could find into a sack and, on the back of a llama, they were in due course conveyed to Chachapoyas, and thence to Germany. Unfortunately, his name happened to be the same as thafcayf another German Jew, who had just then been trying to hoax the scientific world with some papyrus rolls of a date anterior to the flood, and who had been found out and pat to shame. *So when his namesake appeared with the bones of a winged man, he was treated with scant ceremony. However, he sold the india rubber very satisfactorily, and as for the bones, he left them with a young medical student of the ancient University of Bierundwurst, and went back to his cahucho trees and his natives, and the banks of the Amazon. And there was an end of him. The young student one day. put his fragments together, and, do what he would, could only make one thing of them—a winged man, with a dog's head. fit

; There were a few ribs too many, and aome odds and ends of backbone which were superfluous, but what else could [be expected of the anatomy of so extraordinary a creiture? From one student to another the facts grot about, and at last ‘the professors came to hear of it And, to cut a long story short, the student’s skeleton was taken to pieces by the learned heads of the college, and put together again by their own learned hands. Bnt, do what they would, they could only made one thing of it—a winged man with a dog’s head. ; The matter now bec%u» serious; the professors were at Urn puzzled, and then got quarrelsome; and the result of their squabbling was that pamphlets and counterblasts were published, and so all the world got to hear of the bitter controvert about the ’‘man lizard Of the Amazon.4’ i One side, declared, of course, that such a creature was an impossibility, jand that the bones ware a remarkably clever hoax. The other side retorted by challenging the skeptics to manufacture a duplicate, and publishing the promise of such large rewards to Anyone who would snoeeed in doing so that the museum was beset for months fry competitors. But no one could manufacture another man-lizard. The man part was simple enough, provided they could get a human skeleton. But at the Angles of the wings were set huge claws, black, polished and carved, and nothing that ingenuity could suggest would imitate them. And the “genainists,” as those who believed in the monster called Ahsmeelves, set the “imposturiste,”

another poser; for they publicly challenged them to say wfaat animal either the head or the wings had belonged to, if not to the man-lizard? And the answer was never given. - So victory remained with them, but not, alas! the bones of contention. For the imposturists by bribery and burglary got access to the precious skeleton, and lo! one morning the glory of the museum had disappeared. The man half of it was left, but the head and wings were gone, and from that day to this no one has ever seen them again. And which of the two factions was right? As a matter of fact, neither;, as the following fragments of narrative will go to prove; Once upon a time, so say the Zaporo Indians, who inhabited the district between the Amazon and the Maranon, there came across to Pampas de Sacramendo a company of gold seekers, white men, who drove the natives from their workings and took possession of them. . They were the first white men who had ever been seen there, arid the Indians were afraid of their guns; but eventually treachery did the work of courage, for, pretending to be friendly, the natives sent their women among the strangers, and they taught them how to make tucupi of the bread root, but did not tell them how to distinguish between the ripe and tbe unripe. So the wretched white men made tucupi out of the unripe fruit (which brings on fits like epilepsy), and when they were lying about the camp helpless the Indians attacked them and killed them all. All but three. These three they gave to the vampire. But what was the vampire? The Zaporos did not know. “Very long, ago,” said they, “there were many vampires in Peru, but they were all'swallowed up in the year of the great earthquake, when the Andes were lifted up, and there was left behind only one, ‘Arinchi,’ who lived where the Amazon joins the Maranon, and he would not eat dead bodies—only live ones, from which the blood would flow.”

When sacrifice was made to “the vampire,” the victim was bound in a canoe and taken down the river to a point where there was a kind of winding1 backwater, which had shelving banks of slimy mud, and at the end there was a rock with a cave in it And here the canoe was left. A very slow current flowed through the tortuous creek,, and anything thrown into the water ultimately reached the cave. Some of the Indians had watched the canoes drifting along, a few yards only in an hour, and turning round and round as they drifted, and had seen them reach the cave and disappear within. And it had been a wonder to them, generation after generation, that the cave was never filled up, for all day long the current was flowing into it, carrying with it the sluggish flotsam of the river. So they said the cave was the entrance tohell,_and bottomless. And one day a white man, a profess sor of that same university of Bierundwurst, and a mighty hunter of beetles before the lord, who lived with the Indians in friendship, went up the backwater, right up to the entrance, and set afloat inside the cave a little raft, heaped up with touchwood and knots of the oil tree, which he set fire to, and he saw the raft go creeping along, all ablaze, for an hour or more, lighting up the wet walls of the cave as it went on either side. And then it was put out. It did not “go” out suddenly, as if it had upset or had floated over the edge of a waterfall, but just as if it had been beaten out For the burning fragments were flung to one side and the other, and the pieces, still alight, glowed for a long time on the ledges and points of rock where they fell, and the cave was filled with the sound of a sudden wind and the echoes of the noise of great wings flapping. And at last, one day, the professor went into the cave himself. “I took,” he wrote, “a large canoe, and from the bows 1 built out a brazier of stout cask hoops, and behind it 1 set a gold-washing tin dish for a reflector, and loaded the canoe with roots of the resin tree, and oil wood and yams and dried meat. And I took spears with me, some' tipped with the woorali poison, that numbs, but does not kill. And I lit my fire, and with my pole I guided my canoe very cautiously through the tunnel, and before long it widened qut^ apd creeping along one wall I suddenly became aware of a moving of something on the opposite side.

"so 1 turned tne light fair upon it, and there, upon a kind of a ledge, sat a beast with a head like a large pray .dog. Its eyes were as lai^ge as a cow’s. "What its shape was I could not see. But as I looked I began gradually to make out two huge batlike wings, and these were spread, out to their utmost, as if the beast were on tiptoe and ready to fly. And so it was. For just as I had realized that I beheld before me some great bat-reptile of a kind unknown to science, except as a prediluvian, and the shock had thrilled through me at the thought^ that I was actually in the presence of a living specimen of the so-called extinct flying lizards of the flood, the thing launched itself upon the air, and the next instant it was upon me. "Clutching on to the canoe, it beat with its wings at the flame so furiously that it was all I could do to keep from capsizing, and, taken by surprise, I was nearly stunned by the strength and rapidity of the blows before I attempted to defend myself. “By that time—-scarcely half a minute had elapsed—the brazier had been nearly emptied by the powerful brute, and the vampire, mistaking me, no doubt, for a victim of sacrifice, had taken hold of me. The next instant 1 had driven a spear clean through his body, and with a prodigious tumult of wings, the thing loosed its claws from my clothes and dropped off into the stream. “As quickly as possible I rekindled ay light and now saw the arinchi.

with wings outstretched upon the water, drifting down on the current 1 followed it “Hour after hour, with my reflector turned full upon that gray dog’s head with cow-like eyes, 1 passed along down the dark and silent waterway. 1 ate and drank as I went along, but did not dare to sleep. A day mast hare passed and two nights, and then, as I had long expected, I saw right ahead a pale, eye-shaped glimmer, and knew that 1 was coming out into daylight again. “The opening came nearer, and it was with intense eagerness that 1 gazed upon my trophy* the floating arinchi, the last of the winged reptiles. “Already, in imagination, 1 saw myself the foremost of travelers in European fame, the hero of the day. What were Banks’ kangaroos, or Du Chaillu’s gorilla to my discovery of the last survivor of the pterodactyles, of the creatures of the flood, the flying saurian of the pre-Noachin epoch of, catastrophe and mud. “Full of these thoughts, I had not noticed that the vampire was no longer moving, and suddenly the bow of the canoe bumped against- it In an instant it had climbed up on to the boat Its great bat-like wings once more beat me and scattered the flaming brands, and the thing made a desperate effort to get past me back into the gloom. It had seen the daylight approaching, and rather than face the sun, preferred to fight

“Its ferocity was that of a maddened dog, but I kept it off with my pole, and seeing my opportunity as it clung, flapping its wings upon thq, bow, gave it such a thrust as made it drop off. It began to swim (I then for the first time noticed its long neck), but with my pole I struck it on the head and stunned it, and once more saw it go drifting on the current into daylight. “What a relief it was to be out in the open air! It was noon, and as we passed out from under the entrance of the cave, the river blazed <%o in the sunlight that after the two days of almost total darkness I was blinded for a time. I turned my canoe to the shore, to the shade of trees, and throwing a noose over the floating body, let it tow behind. “Once more on firm land—and in possession of the vampire! “1 dragged it out of the water. What a hideous beast iflaked, this winged kangaroo with a python’s neck! It was not dead; so I made a muzzle with a strip of skin, then I firmly bound its wings together round its body. 1 lay down and slept When I awoke, the next day was breaking; so, having breakfasted, I dragged my captive into the canoe and went on down the river. Where 1 was I had no idea; but I knew that I was going to the sea; going to Germany, and that was enough. “For two months I have been drifting with the current down this neverending river. Of my adventures, of hostile natives, of rapids, of alligators and jaguars I need say nothing. They are the common property of all travelers. But my vampire! It is alive. And now I am devoured by only one ambition—to keep it alive; to let Europe actually gaze upon the living, breathing survivor of the great reptiles known to the human race before the days of Noah—the missing link between the reptile and th6 bird. To this end I denied myself food; denied myself even precious medicine. In spite of itself I gave it all my quinine and when the miasma crept up the river at night I covered it with my rug and lay exposed myself. If the black fever should seize me!

"three months, and still upon this hateful river! Will it never end? I have been ill—so ill that for two days I could not feed it. I had not the strength to go ashore to find food, and I fear that I will die; die before I can get it home. “Been ill again—the black fever! But it is alive. I caught a vicuna swimming in the river, and it sucked it dry—gallons of blood. It had been unfed three days. In its hungry haste it broke its muzzle. 1 was almost too feeble to put it on again. A horrible thought possesses me. Suppose it breaks its muzzle again, when I am lying ill, delirious, and it is ravenous? Oh, the horror of it! To see it eating is terrible. It links the claws of its wings together and cowers over the body, its head under the wings out of sight. But the victim never moves. As soon as the vampire touches it there seems to be a paralysis. Once those wings are linked there is absolute quiet. Only the grating of teeth upon bone.*- Horrible! horrible! But in Germany I shall be famous. In Germany with my vampire! "Am very feeble. It broke its muzzle again, but it was in the daylight —when it is blind. Its great eyes are blind in the sunlight. It was a long struggle. This black fever and the horror of this thing! I am too weak to kill it if I would. I must get it home alive. Soon—surely soon—the river will end. Oh, God! does it never reach the sea, reach white men, reach home? But if it attacks me I will throttle it. If we cannot go back to Germany alive, we will go together dead. I will throttle it with my two hands and fix my teeth in its horrible neck and our bones shall lie together on the bank of this accursed river.” This is nearly all that was recovered of the professor’s diary. But it is enough to tell us of the final tragedy. The two skeletons were found together on the very edge of the river bank. Half of each, in the lapse of years, had been washed away at successive flood *tides. The rest, when put together, made up the man reptile that, to use a Rabelaisan phrase, “metagrobolized all to nothing” the University of Bierundwurst.—Contemporary Review. —Albany ia named from the second title of the duke of York, afterwards James II. The title is Scottish, from the Celtic word Albyn, a native i*une for Scotland.

HOW THE MINORITY WINS. Democrat le Defeat Doe to Dlrtiton of the Forty. There is no reason why minor differences of opinion should keep apart the masses of the people who have a common belief in the true principles of popular government The party of the monopolists, of the corporations, of subsidies and taxes always hangs together. It is singular that the cohesive power of public plunder should be stronger than the cohesive power of popular principles. The monopolists, the trusts, the subsidized interests, the protected classes, the tax-eaters, the people who live by the sweat of the brows of others, never separate into factions nor divide their votes. They are a unit in political action. With the sole object of plunder —of taxing the people to raise bounties for their enterprises of industry and speculation—enriching themselves by the spoliation of the country, they have the organization and discipline of a pirate crow. They never “bolt,” they never run third tickets, they never separate to be beaten in detail. It is amazing that there should be two or three parties of popular rights and but one party of the spoils. It is strange that men with great common beliefs and aims, who have no selfish interest in politics, who have nothing personally to gain whether their party is in power or out of power, should fail to act in harihony at the polls, while the spoliator, the plunderers, the mercenaries never permit their greed and rapacity to disturb their -oneness of purpose or to produce disintegration in their ranks.

ine people separate into political factions over the shades of meaning in language by which the most important principles of government are ex* pressed. The spoilsmen concentrate their forces and are sure of victory against the divided ranks of the peo* pie. They stimulate the differences of honest factions in order that they may gain their ends through lack of concerted action among those whom they have considered to rob and destroy. Every republican victory in the nation and in the principal states that has been gained within the last twen-ty-five years is the fruit of democratic divisions or of divisions between factions that should have been united in support of democratic principles. Their victories have been those of a united minority against a divided majority. The republican party is a minority party. It exists because the majority, holding essentially & common political faith, disintegrates at the ballot box, and votes a plurality of tickets to represent the same substantial truths of popular free government. The republican victories are the victories of a compact minority over the divided majority. The democratic defeats, wherever they have occurred, were those of a great, magnificent party, holding political beliefs of unquestionable truth and value, but separated into factions, with opposing sets of candidates representing identical principles in politics. The people will not come to their own—they will be the prey of spoilsmen and bandits as long as they fail to become organized and disciplined for their own protection, as their enemies are organized and disciplined. The many will be defeated and robbed by the few as long as they do not combine to resist defeat and robbery. The men who have lived and acquired wealth and power by subsidies, bounties and gifts from the government of which they seized control from the hands of the masses will retain their usurped domination until the people shall join in a revolution to be accomplished by their united forces, with one purpose and a common object.—Chicago Herald.

REPUBLICAN ROTTENNESS. Periods of Misrule or the Party Curing the Cast Twenty Tears. The republican party lost control of the popular branch of congress for the first time since the beginning of the rebellion, in the election of 1874, just twenty years ago, and since that have had full control of the government only during two congresses, the Forty-seventh and Fifty-first. The Forty-seventh congress was organized on the first Monday of December, 1881, with Warren J. Keifer, of Ohio, as speaker. The Fifty-first congress was organized on the first Monday in Pecember, 1889, with Thomas B. Beed, of Maine, in the cbair. During the Forty-seventh congress profligacy ran riot, and the appropriations were* increased so largely that public sentiment was outraged and the party was not able to again carry the country in a congressional election until 1888, when Harrison was elected president. Upon the face of the returns there was a small republican majority in the congress elected that year, which after the organization in December,1889,was increased by throwing out several democrats and seating republicans in their places. With full power in their hands the republican profligates proceeded to make the best of their opportunities. All sorts of appropriations were asked for and allowed until more than a billion dollars had been disposed of besides making continuous appropriations, which mortgaged the revenues of the country for five years in advance. The result was such a revolution in sentiment that the democratic majority of the Fifty-second congress was greater than it had been ever since the republican party was organized in 1866.—Kansas City Times. -The trouble with McKinley is that he is out of date. His philosophy, his deportment, his attitudes, his smile, even his carefully cultivated resemblance to Napoleon Bonaparte, all have lost their hold upon the public mind. The country has marched on and left him far behind, lost in ecstatic contemplation of a tariff scheme which events have discredited, which history has exposed and which is today as hopeless as anchronism in statecraft, as the stinkpot or the boomerang in warfare. —Washington Post

CALAMITY AND FACTS. Indus trie* lUviAcJc Coder tht M—im of Tariff RedactionsTwo mouths ago a tariff bill'became a law. The calamity howlers went out to fill the air w$h the distress of manufacturing industries. Pittsburgh reports thatihe iron business is reviving and that new mills are being built A spirit of confidence prevails. ■<.*: ! New England’s strong/^point is "textiles. Here are a few extracts from the last issue of the Textile World of Boston. First is. this general review of the situation: “As compared with s year ago the Increase in general trade is quite marked, sod woolen and cotton makers are in d decidedly superior position. In some respects the situation is better than it was a month ago." In looking forward to next year, the organ of the textile manufacturers says: •• "Will the foreign manufacturer supply, such a large portion of the demand, on account of the reduced tariff, as to leave the domSstlo manufacturer with only a limited market! We believe not. and as time goes od we notice that there is not as much fear as there was regarding foreign competition.” In reviewing the mills which make knit goods, the editor says: “It is a conspicuous fact that the best equipped mills have the most cheerful things to say of business as It is, and the ‘bluo' reports come from the smaller and not ‘up-to-date* plants."

Among the new woolen mills noted in the columns of the Textile World are one at Northbridge, Mass., one at Alpena, Mich., one at Philadelphia, and one at Scranton. This shows a wide distribution of manufacturing revival. New knitting mills are projected at New Haven, Athens, Ga.; Canton. N. Y., and Beading, Pa. Enlargements are noted at Carroll, la.; Ypsilanti, Mich.; Troy, N. Y., and Wakefield, R. I. In its news from the milling points the trade organ reports fifty-two cases of new mills, enlargements and reopenings and nine cases of shut-downs from all causes. The report from worsteds says that “the new fast-running loom is the real factor in this problem. We have seen the superintendent of one of the mills running these swift looms and he answers us that he could make the goods for ten per cent, less if necessary.” In the cotton department thirty-two new mills and enlargements are reported and no shut-downs. The new mills are scattered from Texas to Massachusetts. It is not well to predict that Filley, McKinley and * Reed will consent to anything reasonable, but we suppose that the most abandoned liar among the howlers who are desperately striving to stop the business of the country until after another presidential election will not assert that the Textile World is edited by a British hireling, a doctrinaire college professor or a southern mossback. It is highly regarded by manufacturers and dealers and must be reliable in its news reports, if not in its opinions. The reports all show confidence and activity in textile manufacturing. There is a growing certainty that a reformed tariff will build up better home markets for manufacturers and all other producers. Foreign manufacturers cannot sell staple goods here unless they can supply better qualities at lower prices. That they cannot do. American intelligence and energy, the'* superior quickness of American labor and the advanced efficiency of Amerioan machinery have the home market beyond competition. We shall always import some things, no matter how much we manufacture, but there will be far more manufacturing under a reformed tariff than under a trade killer like the McKinley law.— St. Louis Republic.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS. -There has never been a campaign in this country where the republicans have resorted to such wholesale lying. —Illinois State Register.'' T -Benjamin llarrisdn is deftly trying to hedge on his tariff views, but the country has not had time to forget that he signed the MeK&iley bilL— Detroit Free Press. -The republicans, as in the panic, attribute the bad effects of their own laws to the democrats, while they are always ready to claim for themselves the good effects of democratic laws.— Louisville Courier-Journal.’ ‘ -Importations of goods requiring ten hands to make indicate that a thousand hands in this country-are earning enough to live, suppOrtvftunilies and have something left to spend on something beyond bare necessities. We have never yet enjoyed a period of prosperity without the accompaniment of increased importations. There is nothing so indicative of returning prosperity at home as the report of increased importations. —Utica Observer. -On twelve months’ notice we can raise twice as much wheat, corn and cotton as we ever raised. On a notice of thirty days we can have ready a bigger output of manufactured goods than the extreme point of any past period. Give us customers and we will have the goods ready. Not a hundred farms in America are cultivated to one-half their capacity. Scarcely a mill in America runs steadily for six months at its extreme capacity.—St. Louis Republic. -Stocks and Values in coal fields have advanced since the Wilson bill went into effect, though half t& tariff on coal was removed l>y it. The doleful predictions that went up from that moribund organization of greed and stupidity known as the Ohio Wool Growers’ association have only served to increase the contempt into which it had forced itself. The wool market has been firmer and more active under the influence of the law which places that commodity on the free list. It declined steadily under the ruinous policy of McEinleyism and now it is advancing. The Wool and Cotton Reporter tells of unprecedented prosperity in the woolen mills. The largest tin mill in the world is now in process of erection at Pittsburgh, and yet every man who buys a tin roof is getting it lor one dollar a box less than he did under the McKinley law.—Detroit Free Pres*
