He simply tarnish es as many natives as he wants with little Arabian horses, which are quite plentiful and che*p and ammunition. The gladly give their services tor the rernuneration that they will raerivw tiom the ivory ol the elephants killed and the AIM of other animaia. which it may be

Be S»v!ng '*furLUhtd f the natives with horse and ammunition, the hunters go into the Jangle and begin war upon the wild beasts, for nooe but yjung animals ran be taken and cared for, and in order, to capture the young the old ones must be killed. A herd ol elephants is found and a charge is at once made, the natives being very snxieos to kill the old ooes for their tusks. Belche’a men Interest than selves only in catching the little fellows which are unable to keep up with the herd. If a cow be caught out with a calf, the mother is at once killed and the calf taken Into camp, where h is nursed until it becomes quite tame The same rule applies to all anlmala. As all the captured animals were so young, it was soon found that the same special preparation would have to be made to tarnish them with food. In order to do this, Reiche stocked his farm with gouts, and thus was abls to give the little elephsu, lions, tigers, giriffs, sod s’J others plenty of milk. By this means they are nurtured until they can eat more solid foot. When the time comes for transporting their captives, the men engage from ISO to 900 camels, for from their hunting grounds to Suakim, the nearest approach to civilization, it is from 40 to 45 days’ Journey through the desert. In order to carry their animals, long poles are laid across two camels, and the little fellows are put in baskets suspended from the poles. It took lour camels to carry a young hippopotamus in this manner, and they had a pretty tough Job of it then. A herd of goats is taken along on each of these trips to tarnish food lor the captives. Wenevsr the goats become dry they are killed and fed to the natives and carnivorsus beasts. The only difficulty encountered in this Journey is the scarcity of water. Suakim once reached, however, and the transportation to New York is an easy matter. For this Jonmey of torty-flve days through the desert, any number of men will give their services and furnish a camel for $lO each. Of all the animals ever captured by Seiche’s men—and they have captured all kinds, the hippopotamus has proved the most difficult. The mother is extremely fierce and will not abandon her offspring while life lasts, and when in the water it is’a a very hard matter to kill her. Reiche imported the first hippopotamus ever brought to this country, and his men captured it by killing its mother as soon as it had been born. The little fellow was then reared from s bottle.' Reiche sold animals to Barnum for $11,500, although the latter advertised that he had imported it himself si a cost ot $25,000. Lions, elephants and tigers are prettv hard to capture, but giraffes and ostriches are easily taken on account of their silliness. The flesh of the giraffe is considered a great dainty by the nbians. Mr Reiche’s motive in importing these animals is, of coarse, trade, and he regulates his importations by the demand of the market All the big circus and showmen are his customers, as are also the different soological gardens in this country. He obtains from these different institutions some ides ot what they want and send* orders to his men accordingly. If he ordered more than the demand, or in other words, flooded the market, he says these rare animals would be of no more value than so many donkeys.

Children of the Period.

Dr. Prime it thoroughly disgusted with the children ot the period. During hit recent summer travels, as he takes pains toinforarthe readers of thh New York Obeerror, they have forced themselves upon his attention. At one ol the largest hotels, where he passed a Sunday, the children ruled the house. They rioted, without interference on the part of their parents, so as to make a bedlam of the house, and Sunday is turned into half a tosen Fourths ot July. In the evening, when the guests had met in the parlor, sixteen boys and girls, from six to twelve yean of age, rushed in and cleared the room of all quietly-disposed people almost as soon ss so many Comanche Indians could have done it. Their boisterous romping made conversation impracticable, and the parlor was speedily deserted. Dr. Prime remonstrated with the landloi d, and n ceived the reply: “The parents teach them to be saucy and rude and profane. I spoke to a child four years old, in th° presence of bis mother, reproying (him for misconduct, and, to my horror, the little rascal turned and swore at me. His mother laughed, and said, 'How funny I’ It is an every-day matter for the children to tell me 'to go to a place not to be mentioned, and their mothers seem to think it very smart tor their children to use such words and to have such manners,” In another hotel Dr. Prime saw six tables in the parlor at one time surrounded by people pl&yisg cards, and some of these tables wholly occupied by little children, who at an age when they could scarcely be expected to have the rudiment* of education, were now adepts in games that it would be better for them never to learn at all. On the whole. Dr. Prime is inclined to say a pleasant word lor the wag who at dinner toasted “good King Herod.”

Just before the train atarted Sly left the ear to get a newapaper, the aon-ln-law remaining in charge of the precious valise.

The Census Work.

Superintendent Walker says that the work of compilation of the results of the labors of the enumerators has sufficiently advanced, especially with reference to population, to enable him to say with perfect safety that this branch of the labor of his office will be completed by January Ist. The statistics of population will be in such shape that, should congress determine to revise the apportionment ot representatives based on the census of 1880, he can furnish authoritative information concerning every portion of the country to the committee charged with this subject. The work of revision, he says, now going on in St. Louis, under the auspices or the people’s committee, will not make any material delay, as he anticipates from Professor Woodard such an active performance of his work that the returns will be completed and submitted to the chi el office within thirty dsys. There are other localities of mi nor importance which have been reviewed by special agents, but returns in these have been made, leaving Bi. Louis the only point in the United States not yet finally diipoeed ot. With respect to enumerators, representatives from different sections in the northwest and South have been in correspondence with the census office and members of the census committee, urging a disposition of the appointment at the approaching session

of congress, on the ground that in all the states holding biennial sessions the legislatures will be in session for an adjustment of their districts for the purposes of natioaal representation to the new ratio, whatever that may be. This question is bound to excite considerable discusion The houße, with its present two hundred and ninety three representatives, has sometimes been regarded as unwieldy for tbe prompt dispatch of publio business, and respected intimations have been given by tbe leaders on both aides of a purpose to reduce the aggregate representation by increasing the ratio. The minimum number suggested is two hun drjd and forty, and the maximum the present figure, and an increase of the ratio so as not to materially change the representation in the ssates where the population -has kept pace with the progress of yean, and only reducing it in such portions of the country where development has kept leas rapid pace and coneequently presents loss important considerations for even the present ratio. In the states where the interests ere important it is claimed the representation should particularly remain unchanged, taking the loss relatively off sections where the copulation is sparse and scattered and'inaustry more diffused.

Personal Applications.

The clergymen in BratUeboro take turns in preaching to the inmates of the asylum for the insane, aud one afternoon one of them preached about the alabaster box of precious ointment which was poured upon the Master’s feet. As he came out of the chapel one of tbe patients cams to him and said, “You have got os pretty well anointed now,” and in explanation added that for two proceeding Sundays different clergymen had preached on the same subject. This story reminded us of another told of a clergyman in Jackson, ville, ill. This minister was ont of a field, and hearing that there was no preaching In the asylum in that city, sought the opportunity to dispense the gospel there. At hie first service he was very much gratified to observe the close attention that one of the patients gave to his sermon, and he went away and told some of his friends that he hid found a very hopeful field of labor in the asylum, which had been neglected too long. The next Sunday he noticed the same intent expression on the face nf this hopeful listener and thought the man would soon be converted” Again the next Sunday the same m#n gave eager attention, convincing the clergyman that he was not far from the kingdom of heaven In the sermon tbe old story hid Men related ab ut Hindoo worne* casting their children into the Qaage* T&* minietor sought an opportunity a> the eiose of service hi a personal convsisaMun -nil

Barbed Wire Fence.

The plan worked well, and he had barbs manufactured In s factory that were sharpened at both aids. He pat these barbed attach meats on all the wire led6e abom his place and they attracted considerable attentton. Boon afterward he obtained a patent on his invention and commenced u- sell tana,* township and county rights In the count of a year many miles of wire fence in tot northern part of this State were equipped with fheee barbed attachments, the only objections to which were their, cost end their liability tosagandwsip unless they ware secured with Several pieces of cord or Shsall wire. Hir inyention sO|nula»ed others wherever It wis introduced. At least a dosen patents were issued for barbed fence w*re or barbed metallc fenc lag of some sort in the course of the next year. It a short time several suits for infringement were brought by the proprietors of these pal eats, that had become very valuable. In the meantimes large number of machines were invented and patented for making barbs or securing, them to wire. - In 1874, it is stated ten thousand pounds of barbed fence-wire were maonnetured in this country. This year the total manufacture will probably reach fifty million pounds. Almost all railway companies have adopted it It U finding itself into regions where rails, boards sod stones have been employed since the first settlement commenced.— Chicago Times.

Curiosities of the Voice.

Dr. Deleon ay,-in a t>sper read recently before the FrenqAAcodqmy of Medicine,Km some details bn the history end its of the human voice, which he obtained after much patient research. According to the doctor, the primitive inhabitants ot Europe were all tenors; their descendants of the present day are bari tones, and their grandsons will have semibaas voices. Looking at different races,, he calls attention to the fact that inferior races, such as the negroes, etc., have higher voices than white men. The voice has also a tendency to deepen with age—the tenor of sixteen becoming the baritone at twenty-five, and bass at thirty-five. Fair complexioned people have higher voices than the dark skinned, the former being usually sopranos or tenors, the .lattereoutralfos orbasras. “Tenors,” says the doctor, “are slenderly built and tfailfi; basses are stoutly made and corpulent.” This may be the rule, but cne is inclined to think there are more exceptions to it than are necessary to prove the rale. The same remark applies to the assertion that thoughtful, intelligent men have always a t deeptoned voice; whereas tnflers and frivolous persons have soft, weak voices. The tones ot the voice are perceptibly higher, ke points out, before than alter a meal, which is the reason why tenors dine early in order that their voices may not suffer. Prudent singers | eschewed strong drinks and spirituous liquors, especially tenors, but the basses can eat and drink generally with impunity. “Tne south,” says the doctor, “furnishes the tenors and the north the bassesln proof of which he adds that the majority of French tenors come from the South of Franoe, whilst the baaees belong to the northern department.

Mansers Two Hundred Years Ago.

A curious little book, called “The Rules of Civility,” which was published in 1675, throws amusing light on the manners of our ancestors two centuries ago. “Being in discourse with a man,” we read on one page, “’tie no less than ridiculous to pull him by the buttons, to play with his band rings, belt or to punch him now and then on the stomach.” Again, “It argues neglect, and to undervalue a man, to sleep when he is discoursing or reading. Therefore, good manners command it to be forbid; besides, some thing may happen in the act that may offei d. as snoring, sweating, gaping or dribl Hag *’ More explicit are tne rules for bti a / ior at table. “In eating observe to let your hands be clew. Fefcd not with both your hands, nor keep year knife in your hand. Dip not your fingers in the sauce, or lick them when you have done. If you have occasion to sueeie or cough, take your hat, or put your napkin before ▼oar lace. Drink not with your mouth rail nor unwiped, nor so long till you are forced to breath in the glass.” There are rules also for the drawing-room. “If a Krson of quality be in the company of lies, tis too juvenile and light to play with them, to toes or tumble them, to kiss them by surprise, to force away their hoods, their tans, or their ruffs. It is unhandsome among ladies, or any oJier serious comjiany, to throw off one’s cloak, to pull off one’s peruke, to cut one’s nails, to tie one’s garter, to change shoes if they pinch, to call for one’s slippers to be at ease, to sing between the teeth, or to drum with one’s fingers.”

Dense Population of Africa.

Although we have not, nor are we like ly to have for years, any accurate statistics of the population of the interior of Africa, there is very little doubt that we have greatly underrated it Much important information has lately been gathered on the subject, especially concerning the distribution and density of that far-off land. In the great lake districts, for instance, there are territories as thickly settledaamany European states, relatively «nw areas possessing millions of people. The negro regions are by far the most populous, while the desert portions are the reverse. A French geographical society gives -.the estimated figures tt various subdivisions of that continent 85 follows: In the Soudan the population it 90,000,000, or about fifty-three persons to tbs square mile. The town of Bids, <m the Niger, for example, contains fully 90,000 inhabitants. East Africa is rated at 80,000,000, and equatorial Africa at some 40,000,000 souls. A late authority on ethnology sets the negroes as numerically 180,000,000: the Ham 1 tea, 30,000,000 * toeBantaa, 18,000,000; the Foolab, 8,000,000 ; the Nubians, 1,500,000; the Hottentot* 50,000, making.k total oT 171,650,000. These figures—only approximate -of course are considered too lcor by both' German and British geographers, the former estimating the population w high BS Rbfl— a.-

Libel and Its Legal Remedy.

Universally 'admired, 'and urged by associates to form an alliance Which seemed essential to his station, a young lady of beauty and accomplishments was cqmmended to him by family influence. Hia proposal of marriage was accepted, and late in 1828 the marriage Ceremony was performed with unusual pomp. The next day Houston resigned his office, creesed the Mississippi into Aikansaß, and December 11, 1828, wrote from the agency of his old Cherokee acquaintance the letter to President Jackaon which called forth hia letter of January 21,1829. Nq one of Houston’s companions knew till his death the cause ot his new aourae, which hi» beat friends, like Jackson, regarded as partial insanity; no one but his widow could reveal it, and she only through a sense of conjugal and Christian duty. That cause was the highest test of loyalty of which any man could be capable. , , . t

Prof. Wilbur remained tPI late at Dig at, indeed so late that the General had not the heart in him to keep his hired man up to hitch up the Professor’s horse. Accordingly the hired man retired, and when Prof. Wilbur was ready to leave Lavrnflerd Gen. Garfield went to the barn and hitched up hia horse. The next morning the hired man die ' covered that one of the General’s best harnesses was gone, and a rather poor one left in its stead, A little inquiry showed that the President-elect had j>ut on the livery ; horse - ' which his friend had driven over from Painesville, his own harnesses.

Occasionally the wind would take up a bunch of this lather as big as a bushel Basket and carry it several hundred feet inland. 80 buoyant are the waters of the lake that quite a party of men may navigate them on a raft made us four or five dry cottonwood poles.—Baa Francisco Chronicle. f— ■ ■ -mu »'!• - Accurding to the Register ot Gov.
