FLATTSMOUTIl WEEKLY KEHALD, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1SS7. SLAVES OX THE UED SEA. GREAT BOLDNESS OF SLAVE STEAL ERS FROM SOUDAN. 8I;ivo DIiowx Capturoil ty ltrltUh Ven1. A Sevoii AVekit' Drlvn from Khartoum to the Count The Trulllo Hecrctly 1'OHttTOll. A few wec-ka ngo It was nunounowl In the house of commons that the slnve trade had liocii rwipcin-il on u largo soulo on tho north east coiit of Afrii-n. Bir J. lVrgutoi, tho utxlcr secretary of stato for foreign affairs, nai(l that both tho English ami French govern ments had tnken energetic steps to suppress tho evil. Kinco thnt tirue 15ritih vessels jn tho Kel sea liavo captured four slave dhows mid tho Egyptian government has fitted them up as cruisers for tho suppression of tho in famous trado. Tho slavers wero never so l.old hefore. They take their human cargoes to Jodduh, which is tho port of Mecca on tho lied sea, and they boldly incur tho greatest risks. Ia'ss than throe weeks ago tho launch of a I5ritih man of war was attacked by a slaver, and hix Englishmen wcro wounded in tho fight. Tho dhow was, however, sunk, and forty-threo slaves wero rescued. Tho slave dealers aro Soudam8e, tho fol lowers of tho new Mahdi. All restriction upon slave stealing in the Soudan being now removed, they have once more tapped their old source of supply in southern Darfur and tho Lahr el Ghazal region. Slaves are Ixiing driven by thousands to Khartoum. If the dealers can only smugglo their victims over to Jeddah and Mecca their profits are enor mous. Young women and big boys who can bo driven to tho coast at a total cost of not over $25 npieco sell readily in tho larger Ara bians towns for from five to ten times that amount. OHEAT UISKS ENORUOUS TKOFITS. Tho temptation to run great risks in order to pocket theso great profits is enormous, particularly as tho Soudanese are in desper ate need of trade goods, and tho 6lavers have only to return homo with cloth and other do hirablo commodities to reap another largo harvest. Tho slavo trado is now stimulated not only by tho great profits of the business, but also by the fact that all trado is contra band. Tho merchants run just as great risks if they are caught with ostrich feathers or ivory, on which the xrofit is much less than cm slaves. They are therefore confining themselves to slaves. The sufferings of the poor captives are terri bio. It takes alout seven weeks to drive them from Khartoum to tho coast One party that recently left Khartoum COO strong reached the coast only 2)0 in number. Tho bones of tho other hundred strew tho route from Berber to tho sea. It is said that about 55,000 slaves have leen- smuggled across tho Red Sea to Jeddah since Jan. 1. It is re markable that tho semi-bar barians of tho Soudan aro able to carry on so large a trado in these. Every dhow wiioso hold is packed with black merchandise cresses the busy highway followed by most of the vessels ply ing between Euroie and the Orient. Tho slaves are taken to somo little harbor or anchorage north or south of Souakin, which is tho only point where British vessels aro stationed. They aro quickly packed into dhows w ich slip over to Jeddah in the night time. The peoplo of Jeddah and Mecca are slave dealers themselves and thorough sym pathizers with tho Soudanese, and the traffic is secretly fostered by tho Turkish authori ties in those towns. It has just been discov ered that many of th'-'so new slaves have been introduced into Egypt by pilgrim bands re turning home, who pretend that tho captives are legitimate parts of thoir caravan. Many of these slaves have been liberated by the authorities. Kew York Sun. Disease Germs in the Air. Recent experiments by Dr. Percy F. Frank land, described beforo the English Society of Arts, show the following number of micro scopic organisms found in a given quantity of air in difterent localities: Top of Trimroso hill, 9; bottom of Prim rose hill, Si; top or JNorwicn cathedral spirt (300 feet), 7; at the bottom, 18; Golden gal lory of St. Paul's cathedral, 11; in tho church yard beneath, 70; in Kensington gardens, 13; Hyde park, 43; Exhibition road, 554; in the chemical laboratory ot Science institution, 82; in the room of meeting of the Royal so ciety near the close of the session, In a third class railway carriago containing four persons, soon after starting, tho number of organisms that were falling on one square foot cer minute was 395. Soon after this the carriasre was filled, containing ten persons, after which it was found that the number falling per square foot per minute was 3,120. At a distance from land of ninety sea miles tho average of the experiments gave one organism in twenty-six liters; when the dis tance from land was ijo miles ic was one in ninety-three liters. Out of twelve expert ments made at a minimum distance of 120 sea miles in eleven the air was absolutely germ free, so that it would appear that the maxi mum distance to which, under ordinary cir cumstances, micro-organisms can be trans ported across tho sea is about 120 sea miles. The Territorial Loan Agent. "You are accused of holding up a man at tho depot, shoving ft six shooter under his noso and making him give you 625," said a justice of the peace to a Dakota loan agent ynho had been brought before him. "Those are about tho facts in the case," re plied the loan agent. "Then I shall be obliged to hold you for robbery." "Just lot mo explain hair It was. You see he was leaving the country the train was already in sight. I knew be had the $25 and there wasn't time to get it any other way. This business method may bo slightly irregu lar, but tho time was so short that it was the best I could do, and that's all thero is about it. If I had known he was going sooner 1 should have got him to sign a chattel mort gage, and then everything would have been regular." "Well," replied the judge, "if that's the case I suppose it's all right. Try and get the mortgage, though, when you can it's more business like." Dakota VelL Wants Peculiar to Certain Soils. Dr. R. VT. Raymond lately called attention n thn remit! connection between certain w - v j plants and tho metals iu the underlying soil. Thus the Einc violet or uaimeiveucuen some tmB rprarded as a distinct species under the name of Viola calaminaria points out the hills containing calamine, or zinc ore, in Rhenish Prussia and Belgium. The lead plant, Amorpha canescens, is believed by American miners to grow only in localitie containing galena, and Eriogonum ovalifo liuni is probably destined to bo known in the west as tho silver plant Arkansaw Traveler. riiotograpby n he Navy Photographic outfits aro being placed on board all United States men of war with the purpose of illustrating disitches.

"Oath" Interviews One of the Mormon header's Family. John Willard Young is tho youngest son of the first wife of Brigham Young, and ho is tho vice president of an intelligence office of a peculiar nature, which combines banking and topography, statistics and general information. Having known Mr. Young somewhat years ago, I took tho op portunity of rediscovering him to ask some leading questions about tho issues in Utah. He is, I think, about 43 years old, and ho has, if I am correctly informed, ten sons and ten daughters. lie was born at Nauvoo near the timo Joseph Smith was murdered in tho Carthage jail. Few men aro more pre sentable and fascinating. There is an under tone of religious affection in his naturo quite removed from cant or Pharisoeism. "Where did your mother come from in tho first place!" I asked. "From Rhode Island, at no great distance from Providence. My father was a native of Vermont. My mother went out to Kirtland, O., in pursuit of information alout this new religion which Joseph Smith had introduced. Thoro sho became a member of the church. and in courso cf time married my father, being his first wife." "Are you awaro, Mr. Young, that President Garfiold lived close by Kirtland and was ac quainted with Joseph Smith?" "les; Gar naM talked to mo frequently on that subject. lie told nie that there was not the least doubt that Joseph Smith had the power to perform miracles, and related that ho cast a devil out cf a man. Garfield ex plained it on tho ground that Smith was a man of great magnetism. Some of the neigh bors claim that Garfield had serious inten tions of joining tho Mormon faith in his youth. lie was a Canipbellite preacher. After he had taken so much interest in our peoplo and was sincerely liked by them, wo felt it hard that ho should have yielded to tho intolerance of his official circle, and have given U3 littlo more chance than any of tho other presidents." what Mr. Young relates about Garfield was true. He told mo with considerable ani mation that once in Kirtland a person seemed possessed with a devil and had somo kind of lunacy. Joseph Smith, Garfield said, was a splendid looking man, young and halo and strong', and he commanded this evil spirit to leave tho penon. Garfield said that thero was almost a visible issuing of tho demon from tho man. He, however, put tho whole thing on the ground of a strong will. "Gath" in Cincinnati Enquirer. Polk and Webster. In conversation a few day since with an old resident of Washington, who was pro prietor of a large custom and ready made clothing establishment on Pennsylvania avenue when James K. Polk was president, ho said of all tho great men of that time whom he knew or had business transactions with, Polk was tho most picayunish, and Webster the largest hearted. One day Web ster camo in to select cloth for a dress suit. Almost always beggars, mostly women beg gars, watched him as ho went in and out of his f avorito resorts on tho avenue, and ap proaching him with pitiful tale3 never failed to get money if he had it. This time ho had hardly got inside the door when in came a poor old woman, and with tears trickling down her wrinkled cheeks sup plicated for alms. Webster was more out of humor than was his wont to be, and cram ming his big hand down into his small panta loons pocket brought out a piece of money and said: "Here, take thi3 and bo off, or I'll have you arrested. It's all I have for you." After selecting the cloth for his suit he put his hand in his pocket to mako the accus tomed advance payment. Turning the pocket insido out and looking at it he said: "If I didn't give that woman a $10 gold piece 1 Well, it's all the same! It'll do her more good than I could have got out of it I Charge the whole amount." He rarely asked the price of anything, and never intimated that it was exorbitant, as Polk always did. Of course, knowing his weakness in this direc tion, many tradespeople imposed upon him. Minneapolis Tribune. Was Wilkes Booth Crazy? Secretary .Shepherd, of the Illinois Stato Sportsmen's association, was an intimate friend of John Wilkes Booth. Tho two men were in New Orleans shortly before the assas sination of President iiincoln. Both were patrons of the same gymnasium in the city, and each had a certain amount of admiration for the other. Shepherd was in a reminiscent mood tho other day.luid, among other things. he said that he was satisfied that Booth was as crazy as a March Vare all the time he was in New Orleans. The assassin spent a great deal of his time in the gymnasium. Thero was a high platform i?i the building, and Booth seemed to have a mania for jumping ofT it to tho floor below. Ho would repeat the perf ormanco a score of tomes every half hour, and, tiring of the strange exercise, tho assassin would run around tho room until he had covered from ten to a dozen miles. That Booth was then in training for his murderous work there seems to be little doubt. One day be rushed up to Shepherd, and, with a fever ish glitter in his eye, exclaimed: "Shepherd, you'll hear something great about mo beforo many days." Shepherd did hear the startling story of bis friend's terrible deed, but nothing could con vince him that it was the work of a sano man. Chicago Herald. A Work That Will Answer. Harper's Bazar laments the absence from the vernacular of equivalents for fiance and fiancee.

I made a tour of all the opium place in New York once, accompanied by a celebrated authority on tho opium habit, and a man who had a largo practice among slaves of the drug. We bad one of the shrewdest detec tives from tho central office with us. What my two companions did not know about the onium habit in New York was not worth knowing. We spent throe nights on tho tour. It was a continual succession of re volting pictures, a nightmare of 6tifling odors and an unbroken series of ghastly, un pleasant pictures. It was an experience I shall never forget, for it bad in it more squalor, misery and beastliness than I ever expect to see again. We searched in vain for tho magnificent "dives" upholstered with oriental magnificence, furnished with superb Chinese divans, lighted in grotesque and beautiful lamps, mado soft and noiseless by rich rugs and managed by soft footed and moon cved Celestials, about which so much has leen written, and whore it is said the society ladies of Now York give themselves over to tho fascinations or the awiui urug. The most pretentious place that I saw during the tour was in the sub-collar of a Sixth avenue house. Tho floor was carpeted, and that is why it stood out in such striking mag nificence and splendor, as compared with other places. Tho couches wero rough wooden bunks, tho ceiling low, begrimed and sooty and the lack of cleanliness something awful It was about 1 o'clock in tho morning. A singlo light burned in the center of tho square room and the women lay in tho bunks around tbo four sides. All of them had their gowns loosened at tho throat, and they lay in posi tions of absolute langour and indifference. Somo had rolled over on thoir baeks, some lay heavily on their faces and others were twisted up awkwardly in corners. Only two of them wero what might be called decently clad. They wore the flash Jewelry and gaudy clothes of women of tho town. It was said that this place bad tho best class of smokers of any in New York, and we went back in the afternoon tho dotectives and I to have a look at moro of them. We found women who were better dressed than tho ones we eavr that night, and among them was a rather well known actress and two women who drivo magnificent horse3 and make a great show about town. They wore all half dood ened by tho drug, and ns tho Chinaman took bis light around and flashed it in their faces a few of them opened their eyes. Ho evi dently considered them great swclb, and even tho dotectives wero moro or less im pressed by tho gorgeous attiro of several of tho devotees of tho habit, but it needed only n glanco to show that not a woman among them had tho faintest right to the title lady nor tho least claim to respectability. New York women and New York ladles, too, for that matter havo enough sins and indiscretions end wild escapades to answer for without saddling on them tho odium of establishing regal and magnificent club3 and palaces for tho gratification of their curious passions. Blakcly Hall's New York Letter. Magician Hermann's Physical Towers. "Is your skill in feats of legerdemain mainly tho result of education?" "No, sir. My success is due to the fact that I was built that way. It is my inher itance from tho unknown. I havo perfected my manipulation by practico, but tho initial motive comes from my heredity. My skill is not confined to my sleight of hr.nd per formances in public. I havo psychological or mesmeric powers which I do not display, because there has been so much humbug in that hue. I will givo you n sample of my power. Please stand up." Tho reporter obeyed. "Put your feet close together." Tho professor then placed the tips of the fingers of both his hands on the reporter'! Bhoulders. He then directed another man standing behind tho reporter to place his fin gers over his (tho professor's) fingers. "Now," said tho professor to tho third party, "nod your head in tho direction you wish the reporter to fall" The scribe saw ho was caught and ho looked down to see if the floor was oak or pine. Hit next impulse was to stretch his legs apart. But thoso dreadful black eyes wero on him. Tho third party nodded in which direction tho victim knew not. Almost immediately, while tho napoleonic demon was apparently looking down through him and analysing the late breakfast he had eaten, tho reporter felt a marked sensation down his left 6ide which quickened the action of bis heart. He did not try to drivo tho feeling away by an effort of will, and slowly the sensation which somewhat resembled a prolonged shock of electricity deepened and quickened, until he began to swey liko a tree partly chopped through. He was begining to sizo up the chances of falling through tho looking glass when tho professor removed his hand and with them the influence. "Such manifestations of power as thoso of which you have just felt tho influence I re gard as perhaps my highest gifts," said the professor. "Given tho proper subject, I can cause him to fall to tho floor without touching his body. Whilo I don't profess to be able to explain theso phenomena, still I am possessed of tho power to execute them." New York Sun Interview. Averting a Calamity. Tho meanest man has been rediscovered. Ho is a farmer and has a son, upon whom he daily seeks to impress the importance of economy. The other evening the boy wo busily engaged at a gamo of baseball. The old gentleman strolled over to where the gamo was going on and surveyed the pro ceedings with considerable interest. At length his son went to the bat and worked with all tho zeal of a young enthusiast over tho natioual gamo. After a prodigious lunge for first base the lad's father called out: "Jeremiah, you jist stop that air right thii minit." " What fer, pap!" asked tho boy whimper ing; "I wan't doin' no harm." "Yes you was. Thero you be cxertin' and exertin' yourself all for no good, and tho fust thing yo know yer muscles'll develop tell next year yer closo'll be tao small fer ye." Mer chant Traveler. Advico for Hot Weather. If ono wants to keep cool and to keep from being thirsty tho only course is to drink noth ing. Suck a lemon, chow at a collar button. bite at a teething ring, but don't drink. That 13 why it is that so many women are so cool on hot days. It is provoking when tno tem perature is 107 degs. in tho shado to talk to a woman who is as cool and fresh as an ice chest while you are vainly trying to stem the tides of perspiration that ebb and Cow on your manly brow and surgo and break on your onco whito collar. Don't drink and yon won't perspire. Chicago iriDune. The Mexican Farmer's Oxen.

I looked over the work and remarked, "Well, if I didn't do this myself it was my old boy." He bad learned his trade under me, and I knew every mark bo made.
