It in a land of brigiiii.ls. TL-s robbers arc called "Ducoits," nnl, like their European brethren, work in buxbi or coui- anies having a chief withahsoliito authority, ieuten&nts and other Ruhordiimlo ofiicoru. They aro daring, ra;acious nnd cruel, setting no value on human life anl excising their, own fearlHly. They resemble the European banditti in their wIho jxriicy of keeping gto.l friend with the peasantry and toiling MopIi Thoy thus insure supplies, for which they pay liberally, and gain the earliest intelli gence of any pursuit by tho government troop. The Dacoita do not tako auy prisoners to their faxtnetses to bo ransomed; they imply lay their Lands upon all tho valuable they can carry away with them, and move olT with great rapidity. One band operating in tho country near Tounghoo numljend about 500 men, under the leadership of Ming loung, a cool, cunning and brave chief. Ho bad some royal blood in ku veins, being re lated to the king reigning at the time ut Mandalay. They go upon tbeso expeditions in a per fectly nudo state, having previously rubled themselves well over with coeoanut or so same oil. They proecd with their wholesalo robbery in jierfect silence, the only light they carry being the inevitable- cigar or large cigarette, which each one wnokes. As they enter a house they pufT away, and hold the lighted end to ascertain tho exact where abouts of any article they desire to carry off. Khould any one awaken and attempt to re sist or raise an alarm, he or she is srw-edily dispatched with the keen Iha, or knife, they all carry; but should any general alarm b raised and decided resistance made, then a retreat is ordered, and the party clear off in as quick order as jxwsiblo. There lieing few roads, projerly so called in Kurniah, retreat is in coiiscjuence easy for the thieves, who know every intricate footpath in tho jungle. A numerous band of Dacoits once, uudi r the leadership of Miugloung, had tho au dacity to make a raid upon the Euro van can tonment in Fcgu. Tho night of the raid was dark and stormy, it leiiig tho commencement of the rainy moonsoon, or season. Every thing was thu3 favorablo to their design; ab sence of projer guards, and a pitchy dari: atrt;osphere, faintly ami fitfully illuminated hero acd there by tho few oil lanterns sus pended occasionally at the entrances of i'.u; bungalows. Every one had retired to rest and all was quiet by midnight. At nxut 1 a. m. tho stillness was broken by tho dis charge of firearms. Stvcral pistol shots rang out through tho silence of the night, and in a short timo shouts, execrations, etc., v.tro heard, putting the whole cantonment in n state of uproar. Borne of tho young fellows started for the barracks and brougLt down a detachment of troo, furnished with lan terns, to make a thorough investigation of the cause of tho disturbance. Nothing, how ever, was discovered, nor any persona found to be near tho rnntonm-nr, although sever.il asserted that Dacoit3 had paid them a vi:,it and that ono or more of theni was shot. After posting a proper guard, notliing fur ther was done until daylight came. In the morning, by tho side of the road, a couple of hundred yards from tho canton jncrst, were found tho nude, tattooed bodici of two BurmaiM, head !, however, for, nc cording to the invariable habit of the Dacoits, they liehead any of tho band who may be killed during a ferny, or so seriously wounded as to bo iucapablo of escaping. By their method of mutilation the individuality of the robbers was lost. As the Dacoits hnvo agents in the various cities for th9 ui.sjMjsal f their stolen goods, who are sworn mem bers of the band, and who ostensibly pursue honest vocations in life, such as fchroUs (bankers), goldsmiths, merchants, el?., it would iuevitably tend to betray them and Injure their "business" were any of their killed ami wounded left behind them to bo recognized by their captors. When an ex tenslv raid is contemplated every member cf the Ind is liable to bo called upon to mcrvo at the summons of tho chief. These cadavers therefore gave no clue to the iden tity of the perpetrators of the outrage, it merely let us know that a party of Dacoits had been let loose among us, and not any ordinary Indian housebreakers. The incident of tho night were as follows: A young merchant and a physician shared a bungalow between them. The formef v. as owakened by the doctor, who was shouting: Wake up! Thieves!" and who at the samo time made a tremendous cut with a saber nt two dusky forms dimly seen escaping by the .window. The doctor, who was an athletic Scot of some six feet four inches in height, declared that he split one fellow's skull clean open. On striking a light they dis.v?vcred that their shotguns, rifles end ammunition were gone: their Colt's army revolvers were even taken from under their pillows. It was tho raaladroitness of one of the robbers which caused their detection. He let a bit of hot cigar asb fU upon the doctor's face as be was tickling that gentleman w" a feather to make him shift his iosition in e led, so as to allow the rascal to take tha revolver from nndei the pillow. Tho doctor a res nt once, but was too late to save his Colt, for, before be could extricate himself from tho mnsqoito bars, the thief was off with it. The young merchant had not been awak ened until roused by the doctor. Tho thief who had fcim in hand had performed the tickling with too mncb adroitness and judg ment. Several other bungalows had been entered and completely sacked of every valuable. Arms of all descriptions, ammuni tion, uniforms, money, silver drinking cups, riogs, breastpins and other trinkets all were carried off. One of the sufferers said he had dreamed ho bad seen persons trucking in Lis bedroom, bnt did not awaken to realize that it was no dream, but an actual occurrence, until too late. Tho houses ere easy of en trance, as the walls prove no obstacle to the Dacoits, armed with their keen, heavy bladed dlias, sharpened to a razorliko edge. They simply cut a hole in the wooden or wattled bamboo walls, near the floor, and creep in. Once inside they always ojH-n a window ia case they are compelled to make a hasty exit. The whole Cantonment would doubtless have been plundered but for the catastrophe which put them all to flight With all their ferocity and penchant for appropriating other people's goods, Dacoits are extremely religious, a trait not uncom mon with some civilized thieves. Tbey often build pagodas to propitiate their deity, and o obtain a short cut to eibhan, fully I re lieving thit they can by such acU of piety gain a speedier entrance into Gaudamus 'bosom than their questionable acts ii;x-a ,4-arch would entitle them to.

Detroit Free l'rcsi ROUNDED UP BY COYOTES. How tlin Jack ICubhlt at Xovifli aro ntherel In by Volr. "You never saw the artistic way th Nevada wolves would round up tho j.icJc rabbit, I Kiipj " remarked Joseph (.'ranh-hnyer, tho old time Nevada!!. 'It is tin; cleverest Lit of strategy I over heard of. There aro several kinds of wolves nil through tin; htate, but the J coyotes aro ly far the pleni iost. In the liumlrf-Mt, Smoky, and other valleys the coyotes form in military line, oftentimes along Houie old road, :n I have most fre quently wen them, ami thu3 systemati cally po on a regular drive. "They hi retell out over a freat area of country, the coyotes leing stationed KOin-'jwhero near a mik apart. Oncu they get sight of a jack rabbit his namo is Dennis. lie may ta!:e to the sago brush ami elude the coyotes for a time. Fifty or a hundred coyotes can thus in ;t short time rake in a terrible lot of rabbits. If tho coyotes aro hungry it is about the rarest sport one can witness. They go at tho hunt with so much ardor and witli such perfect system. "A coyoto on his own account can usually forage successfully for feed, lie is sly, like a fox, and, always with an eye out for numlwr one, he generally hns bis lielly full and lots of fat sticking to his ril; but if the weather has ln-en bad and ho gets separated from his fellows on a reconnoitring tour he may have a hard time of it. In the sagebrush a jack rabbit can generally manage to elude it coyote. He can get in and out quicker, while tho coyote, ln-ing bigger, is le layed by the brush, and can't get in and out like a rabbit. "Uut after a lot of hungry wolves have held a council of war and decided to go on a hunt, it is time for the rabbits to hunt their holes. There is always music, in the air alout that timo, and the weird howls of the wolves sound like a distant reveille. The rabbits seem to understand the situation, too, and scamper hither and thither over the plains and rolling hills. It is not long, however, till the wolves marshal their forces. They begin by making a wide detour over the hi!!-;, lessening tin; size of the circle as they advance, and holding all the rabbits they get in as skillfu'.'y as a lisherman handles his seine, "The i.e-k rabbit are all of a tremble when tliey s'-e h"W their enemies have them hedged aloiit, and jump helplessly into the air. and utter pitiful cries. The wolves merely watch the sides warily, and look on vindictively, with tongues lolling out through their white teeth, ami eves sparkling, expressive of the knowl e!;; tbat they will soon have some line eating. As the wolves draw nearer to gether the quick snap, snap of their jaws is heard as they snip the t!iroatof their victims, and they fall dead from loss of hl n xl. "When every rabbit is killed, the coyotes sit down on their haunches to a very comfortable banquet, and never let up until the- have taken aboard so much rabbit meat that they can hardly stir. Then they slowly im -under off to then homes, wherever they may lx, anil if there is a lot of rabbit meat left, as there may lve, they put in an appearance again, at stst -d intervals, until the whole is consumed. "After a lot of coyotes have had a tall:, so to speak, and decided to go on a hunt, they wiil sometimes go to a rough region, where they know the rabbits abound, and lay siege for them in an other way. Certain brigades will clamber upon the high rocks and hill tops sur rounding a canyon, and drive the game down into the depths below, other relays of wol s having previously been placed sit the entrance and at the weak pl-.-.ce-j. They oftentimes get a great many into a canyon in thi.: way, and tints speedily finish them. It i generally in the very early morning that the coyotes sound their reveille and go after the rabbits." Kt. Louis Globe-Democrat. Overcrowdins in Siberia. Tho overcrowding of the Siberian prisons is appalling. "The Tomsk trans portation prison," writes The Siberian Gazette of that city, "is overcrowded. To the 1.520 eople we had here 700 new ones have been added, and so the prison which was built for POO people contains 2.200. There are 207 persons on the sick list."' The central prison, on Sackhalin island, which was built for GOO people, contained 1.10:1 in 1879. Jlichela, a Si Ierian official and ex-prison director, writes about two prisons which were under his control as follows: "The jailer broutrht me to the rooms. Everywhere dirtovercrowding, wetness, want of air and light. After having visited tho rooms I entered the hospital. As soon as I entered the lirst room I was involun tarily thrown back by the inconce ivable mvic'I. The water closets were luxurious apartments jn comparison with the hospital. Everywhere the number of prisoners is thrice the numlier permitted by the Jaw.

At the bead of the column an armed attendant, in gorgeous codtume, with whip in band, cleared away dogs and gaping idlers. They were en route for the (Jretk clmrch outside IVrn, and the beauty of the beautiful race was on tho bride. The shining face at the window was liko some lovely human flower, too tender for exposure, blossoming under glass.

As they near tho church door a bridal chorus ruled the slow steps of the car riers; and when the bride, lovely all in her white, steps from tho silken seat lonbons tire showered on her by waiting friend.
