A correspondent of Dsis TTnndols-Mu- soum of Vienna says that for centuries ' Zanzibar wus the 'chief mart of ivory , which was formerly brought partly from the interior. But with the increased consumption and value of Unit article , elephants lire bolus1 exterminated and have to bo sought far away in the in terior to the wobt of Tanganyika and northwest of Victoria Nyuii/n. The chief trading center in the interior is Tabara , in Myamwesl , whore variouB caravan routes meet. The practice at present is for Indian traders ) to equip a caravan /anxibar and place it in charge of an experienced and trust worthy Arab , who takes it from Uaga- moyo , opposite Zanzibar , to Taqara. If lie linds enough ivory there ho exchanges goods which ho has brought for the purpose , and starts on the return jour ney ; but , as a rule , the nVravan has to go further , and by the information ho receives from returning caravans the conductor judges where he can go with most chance of speedy success. Largo quantities of ivory are usually in the huiulrt of native chiefs , with whom it is a kind of treasure , and sometimes , it is said , the Arab conductors , who nro usually accompanied by well-armed es corts , will make war on a chief , seize his ivory , and sell his people into slavery. If fence cannot bo used , the trader must patiently purchase small quantities from time to time as occasion arises , and sometimes he is forced to wait for years in the interior before ho can part with all his merchandise and obtain li'w loadji of ivory. The greater part of the ivqry arrives in Zanzi bar in July and August ; the Indian inerchiiiita go to IJiigmoyo to meet their conductors , and then a settlement takes place. The cost of the caravan , with 15 per cent per annum , is charged to the Arab , the Indian takes the ivory.solls it on account of the Arab , and pays the latter the halnncc. Arrived in Zanzi bar , the ivory is cither sent by the Indian merchants direct to Bombay or to London , or it is sold to Hamburg or American merchants on the spot. The trade , therefore , fa wholly in the hands of Indian merchants ; but the advantage of having agents of Kuroponn merchants in Tabara to purchase ivory system atically and forward it to the coast has boon discuiied in Zanzibarnnd ono Hamburg llrra there decided to trv it. A caravan under two Ger mans was despatched to Tabara , whore one was to remain to es tablish abranch , while thoothor pushed on to Uganda , so as to bo able to pur chase at llrst hand. Onw died soon af terwards , and the other fell ill and was forced to return. The close connection between the ivoiy ; and the slave trade in the interior "must always act as a hindrance to European trading at first hand in ivory. The Arabs usually tnuisi > ort the ivory to the coast by means of natives whom they have en slaved or purchased at very low prieoH , and then can sell the latter on the coast at a prolll of $10 a head. European trrders , on the other hand , must pay tjio bearers $5 a month and an urm'o length of cotton stuff per day. No statistics exist respecting the annual export from Zanlbnr , but the writer Is convinced that for ten years past it has been pretty regular. In the past thirty-five years the price has trebled. About 1810 Ivory coit ? 1 a pound. Now it costs $3. Largo tusks , weighing 150 Ibs. to UK ) Ibs. , 0e much rarer than they were ton years since , and the number of smaller tusk 3 ha- , greatly increased. Zanibar ivory stiuuie higher in the market than that from Abyssinia , Kfirypt , or the west coast. The export from Mozambique and the north ivnd south Somali coast 0.S is cunimrntlvol.vfimall. The best ivory is tuec ) fur the manufacture of billiard balls ; the inferior torts are converted ( into kiillc-hniullcs and oniainuiiU. , .

Dear mother : I just received your discouraging letter , and my hand is shaking soon account of some un expected news that I nm almost unable to write. Oh , dear mot tier I never expected this. How little do you understand me , if you only knew what is befoio me , and how honest my Intention was , you would certainly not have written us you did. You say that your husband declares my letter to be nothing- but lies ; and you chide me for asking for my hard-earned money. That may bo nil well. May God forgive you and me. My whole future is based on this thing. And besides this you take me for a real fool for refusing me us you have. Dear mpther , you said to me I should never bring any shame on your head , only once bliull I ever shame you , and then you shall never suffer another sorrow on my account , as God is my witness. Dear mother , I will not make any complaints against you , because if you rellcct you wilt forgive mo freely. I-had no father with whom I could' converse and talk about my future. I have done the best I could for myself , and what J have tried to do towards elevating myself you have on- posed. Your husband , you know , always hated me , nnd ho is mainly instrumental in bringing this trouble , and ho will have to answer for the consequence. Dear mother , how can jou take such a position against met I am distiesscd and haidlyknow what I urn writing. Hear mother and dear Grelchen , you sweet little sister , when you read this I will bo no moro. Oh , how I wish that I could see you and give you a good bye kiss. For the first time in years the hot tears uro running down my cheeks. To thiuk th.it I have to leave my mother , mv sweet hearted little sister without a kiss. This is dreadful , but God wills It thus. Oh , little sisUsr , I meant well with you in my heart , had I only succeeded with my intentions to establish myself in business. Dear mother , ono thing I would lay on your heart. O , mother , do this for mo , and I will thuuk you when wo shall meet in another world. And I would beg father to do the same favor for mo. I forgive you all. A brave , unfortunate German girl is with child by mo. Oh , mother , tuko care of her is my last wish before I dio. I meant well with her , and had I been in right circumstances , she never should suffer. I had bright pros pects for the future , but now lean do nothing for her. For mo there is no hope in this life. May God have mercy on me , and , dear mother , take the girl to your home , when the tiuio comes for her to IMS delivered of her child. It will be some time in May next. Care for her l > ecause she has no home. Hcmember what you do for her will bo done for mo. Mother , this is my last request.

Throe llatl SIoii Captured l > y Detective McCracken , . To Detective McCracken belongs the credit of woi king up ono of the cleverest pieces of police work performed in this city in many a day. Some days ago McCracken took it into his head that a trio of follows who lurked about the drinking places of the city , spent money with a lavish hand , rolled over the pavements in the best of livery equipages procurable and won favor with young and unsophisticated girls whom they waylaid on the streets , were of the dishonest fraternity. The gang made the saloons of the side streets their headquarters , and their principal abode of entertainment for girls , whom they picked up on the streets , was a saloon on Thirteenth street. Expensive wines were none too good for the fellows and their newly mndo female acquaintances , and they spent money with n lavlshness that cheered the heart nnd swelled the receipts of the proprietor of the placo. Jauie * Eaton , alias "lioddy , " was the masher cf the gang nnd a few days ago ho met a Miss Perm , daughter of Henry Dean , of Eleventh and Izard street. The foolish young girl I , ignorant of the true character of the man who sought her chance acquaintance and so ciety , accompanied htm to the Thirteenth street saloon and drank a glass of wino with him. "Keddy" was there well under the in- llueuco of stimulants nnd ho suggested io ii Miss Dean n drive. She accepted tlio Invita - tion , "Roddy" procured n spanking turnout it t , but his maudlin condition would not permit of travel without accident nnd the buggy broke down. Frightened over the mishap ni'd partially oshnmci ] of her conduct , Mloa . Dean hurried to her homn , only to bo fol 1h lowed soon nftcr by "Roddy" with a much more pretentious team and carriage. Again tbo girl succumbed to hU > solicitations to take a driveand the-honds itr the spirited homes wore turned toward Flor - cnco. While di ivlng to and frc from thi ; place , "Rcddy" became coiuiuuulaitive uuu confidentially told Ml s Dean that liowswn thief , nnd substantiated this Information by displaying a largo roll of greenbacks contuin- Ing novernl-ono hutidirn , twiMity nnd t < 'ii-dol lar bills. Ho also pulled forth from his vest poi lu't a valuable tfAA watch , accompanied with the lemarki \ \ , \ \ , ho him stolen that. AUKS Duaii wiw hoivilled ever the confession of her companion , nnd burning with shiniio nnd contrition she hurried away to her homo after belhg freed frcmi the buggy by the "horrid man , " w\vt \ tiled to prevail upon horn < n romaln with hliijbv ) bflbliiK her with Iho gift of his money pin ) liU watch. Ho even wont so far ns to follow her to her homo , und re/used to lonvo untlPMr. Dean tliioatoncd to call the iwllco. . Duilnvr all this tluiA Detective McCracken had not been Idle , oo had taken notes of Miss Dean's association with "Keddy , " nnd called at the Doun residence nnd had an la- tei view with the jimiiB lady. Her disclosures i ogardlng the true clmractur of "Rcddy" In- spiied tno detective to renewed nctlvlty.aud ho kept his weather eye peeled on the gang. McUraokun saw Unit they were on the eve of milking themselves scarce , und on Thurs day lust they were tracked to the Union 1'a- clllc depot. The trio wns about to boi'rd nn outgoing train when McCracken stepped up nnd Intercepted them. They wore marched to the central i > ollco station nnd searched. "Roddy's" companions gave thojr names ns T. W. Slmw nnd Frank. Bruce , nllas Frank Moore , the latter nn old-time offender. On "Roddy's" person was found n diamond ring , n largo sum of money und the gold watch exhibited by him to Miss Dean. Out of ono of the jwckots of Bruce's clothing wns tlshod nn emerald ring , valued nt $75 , u gold wntch and n big loll of money. Shaw was ulso well supplied with money oud n gold watch. The prisoners refused to tell how they came In possession of so largo a sum of money , and so much valuable Jewelry. They wcio detained in custody , and a charge of vagrancy was entered up ngainst them. McCraoken continued hi.s investigations , nnd yesterday was rewarded in finding owners for the jewelry found In possession of the thieves. The linn of Jensen & Co. , Jewelers , corner of Thirteenth and Hniney streets , idontlllcd the wale-lien nnd rings as n jKirllon of the prop erty stolen fioui their store. Their plnco was buiglarized some weeks ago , when the thieves made way with * 1SOO worth of Jewelry , embracing nine valuable gold watches nnd seveinl costly rings. Tlio charge of vagrancy ngninst the scoundrels has boon withdrawn and they will bo tried for burglary. Afiittle 00' Color. C. U.

Two ofllcci's hurriedly repaired to the designated place , when they dis covered the door wldo open and the woman conversing contentedly with the darkey. The couple claimed that although not mar ried , they had boon living together as man nnd wife for two years , and the man Davis , who had separated from his wife , wns en deavoring to win the affections of Jacobs' Desdemonn.

After Forty Yours. Boston Globe : Thirty-eight years .ro two brothers , .lames M. Oilman and W. II. Oilman , left Iho old homestead in Tuftonboro , N. IL , nnd went out to seek their fortunes. The Californiafeycr had just , broke outa'nd ' James turned his face westward. For thirty-eight years tlio family had hcArd nothing of him and had given hiftilip ns dead. \Vllliam , who earlyjshowed an incli nation for the BOIV , engaged in ship building in Boston and then drifted to Nova Scotia , where ho married and settled down. About five weeks ago James , the long- lost brother , yearning to hear from the old home , determined to visit the old homestead again und surprise the re maining few left. The other brother had business In Boston about the same time , and while each was walking along Washington street , thinking of the other , perhaps , but never dreaming that ho was so near , they met face to face. Their joy was unbounded. Though considerably changed , after so many years , they easily recognized each other. No time was lost in visiting the old homo and a family reunion arranged to celebrate the occasion. Accordingly about 125 relatives from all parts of the country met lost evening at Young's hotel , and for several hours discussed an elaborate spread and talked over old times. From the brothers the following story was learned about their wanttor- ings : James had just begun to make himself useful on the farm , but in spite of all the paternal endeavor ! ngs to inukon farmer of the boy ho longed to "go west. " On February 6 , 1&49 , when seven teen years of nge ho joined a- company of 100 business men and boys from the neighboring towns , who purchased a small ship called the Lc- onia , took a cargo of mining provisions , and bailed from Boston for California. After ft voyage of five months they landed in 'Frisco. Part of the company wont immediately totheminingcampat Sutler's Mills , about 150 miles from the coast , the others remaining in 'Frisco to supply stores for the camps. A small steamboat had been taken ont in the Leonia in Sections , and was put together at Venetia , thirty miles up the Sacra mento river.

IIauseryard forman at the Western mill , Lake Union , to his mother last Wednesday , and when thostartled motherasked where Frankie was the little fellow pointed as best ho could to the log on the hillside below the house , near Bismarck street. Mrs. ' Hausor went in the'direction indicated , hut was unable to find'her boy until the three-year-old hero , who toddled after her , pointed to Frankie as ho lay mo tionless under a fir > log eleven and a half feet long and fifteen inches through at the smaller oml.i Uo could not speak and was slowly being crushed to death , while his agonized mother .strug gled to roll the log back. She could not move it and screamed for help , and while some men were running to herald , Mrs. Hauser , with great presence of mind , removed the earth from her boy's face so that ho would riot smother. The earth was soft and th < > log had forced the body down into1 it , otherwise ho would have boon killed in an instant. When the log was rolled buck the little follow was limp and unable to utter u word. JIo was taken homo and medical aid summoned.

Tlio Miles river , for thua tbo SI. Michael's his : slipped its cotisoimnls , iiystho Now York Sun , is one of tboso road milt wnlur Btrenms , the homo of bo oyster , crab , torrnpin , nnd wild uck , thiit picrco the peninsula of the astern bhoro of Maryland until there is icnrccly so much land 113 witter. This ) iirt of the peninsula is called Talbot county. A tongue of land thrusts itself out Into , ho river. There is atastdful boat-houso ind pier , bcsldo which a yaoht llos noorcd. Above the thickly set trees i square rod tower , capped with white , iifUcntos the site of "Tho Villa" such H the distinction of the name of the iilnce in the country. As with families , BO it is with land. Some tracts undergo a quiet , humdrum existence from century to century , others are as full of titTairs as a buililT. This tongue of land , with its nolghbor- 'ng estate , is one that seems to bo incx- rlcably woven into the futo and for- , unos of men. In 1001 occurred in Joston the memorable trial of Wonlock Chribtison , for the crime of beintr a Quaker , of which the quaint old volumes of Besse gives so full a story. Having "DCOH exiled , ho returned to Boston to protest ngninst the murder of a fellow .Juakcr named Loddra , whore he" was seized by a mob headed by the Rev. Senlniry Cotton , club in hand. Chris- tibon had a robust tongue of his own , and after his trial was , with other Quakers , condemned to death by Gov ernor Endicott. The day before the ex ecution came the pardon of the king , nnd the prisoners wore released , the governor being obliged to satisfy him- t-olf with whipping two of the men through the streets. Wenlock Chistison then emigrated to Maryland , taking ad van Uigo of the re ligious toleration extended by the Cal- vertw. Hero , in 1001 , ho obtained a grant of land from Lord Baltimore , in cluding this tongue on which the villa nds. lie became one of the sub- blantial men of the colony , and the late criminal took an important part in the house of burgesses , of which he was a member. The descendants of the ChrJstisons hero dwelt in peace and prosperity , and in time the estate fell into the hands of Isaac Atkinson , who had married into the family of Christispn , and their house of old Kntrlish bricks remains in part upon the land until this day. After the Christi&ons had married , borne and died , the family gradually dwindled away , and the estate passed into the hands of Richard France. Richard Franco was the lottery king of Maryland. The slate recognized and legalised the business , and Richard France waxed rloh and prosperous. Ho built a palace ( the word is used ad- vibcdly ) , on Mount Vcrnon square , nnd ho bought an estate on the Eastern Shore , Hero ho built "Tho Villa , " with its red tpwor overtopping the trees. In magnificence nothing in the vicinity rivalled it. There were wind ing walks and fountains , rich vases and marble statuaryglass houses and every thing else that money could buy to make complete a gentleman's country seat. It was the wonder of all the country roundabout , overshadowing "Tho Anchorage , " the seat of Commo dore Lowndes , and "The Rest , " the beautiful homo of Admiral Buchanan , confronting ono another on the river just below. So enviable was the prosperity of Richard Franco that a man named It road bo nt set up an illict lottery known as the "Lottery Policy Company , " which in time made such inroads into Richard France's business that ho was forced to admit Broadbontinto partner ship. Then Broadbent also waxed rich and prosperous , and built him a superb place beyond the limits of Charles street , a place now owned by the Pcr- rotes. But the conscience of Maryland bad become tender. In time the lottery license to Richard Franco was revoked , lie then , with Broadbent , went to Dela ware , which , being a small state , ho with great simplicity , bought up the legislature. This was not in each case a private sale. Ono of the members also had a tender conscience. For him Richard Franco built a church , where his constituents worshiped for many a year. Then Delaware in its turn became sensitive to the enormity of the lottery nnd revoked the license of Richard Franco. Meanwhile Broadbent had been plundering the business with n , rapid hand. It became necessary to buy up other states. In this olTo'rt Rich ard Franco failed. Bafllqd and plun dered , when the lottery king came to take stock of himself and his belongings - longings ho found ho was in debt every where and a ruined man. Going back to Delaware in the desperation of his lUTairs , his person person was seized for debt , and ho died there in prison and u pauper. In the wreck the Villa was sold to Henry May. of Baltimore. This was before the late war. In his hands the career of the place was renewed. It was still the finest place for milesabout , and again were renewed the scenes of hospitality and of luxury which distin guished the old Maryland days. Then the war broke out. With great shrewd ness Henry May immediately invested his fortune in gold. His broker was a banker named Carson in Baltimore. All went well until the em-render of General Leo , when gold declined and swept Henry May along with unfulfilled mar gins.But But between him and ruin stood the broker , Carson. Ho , abandoned by May , went down in the crash. In vain ho called upon his client to protect him. A suit was brought , and , against the feelings and temper of the community , it was won by Henry May. The broken C'ar&on never recovered , but died u few months after , literally of a broken heart. Huury May returned to Baltimore , but his old friends turned away theli faces. An isolated , ostracised man , ho returned to the villa , and in a few months ho , too , died , it is said , out of pure chagrin. The villa was then bought by a young man named Randall , wno , with his young and gay wife , more than revived its old reputation for luxurious hospital ity. The fun was fast and furious , and with it slipped away the great fortune to which Randall had fallen heir. In a few years , utterly ruined. Randall was obliged to give up the villa , and now. it is said , lives a humble life ns u railroad employe , while his wife supports herself in some feminine vocation. The villa was then bought by n man from Greenwich Pointlu it is known in Talbot county , named Brady. Green wich Point is bettor known in this sec tion 113 that part of Greenwich on which stood that notable resort much fre quented a dozen years ago bv the men of "Hlg Six" and the Bltwimdub. The onntry marveled much at the advent of a man of the typo of Brady , a black smith , it is said , but a blacksmith who uul found his trade mustluoratlvosince 10 was able to post-oxs the villa. Ho hud none of the qualifications for a country life. Ho was the owner of a Mipcrb place , with its walks and foitn- : ulns , Its vnM'S , ititniirblo gods and god- leshcs half clothed In foliage. That 'act seemed to content him. Ho strut- oil about in his shirt-sleeves , and , if it BO inclined him , in his bare feet. The leighbors ceased to marvel , and in .line left this new and strange typo ut the villa to his own company and habits of life. After a time there came a rumor , told ibout mysteriously by the negroes , of the yncht Hitting about the river , and of n strange man , bearded and old , seen Ity chance , but furtively keeping out of Lhe way. So isolated is the villa , the tongue of land stretching far out iuto Lho water , and the gates as usual kept locked , that there could bo uo place for concealment. The rumor spread fur ther , and was confirmed in details by the curious negroes. Then came the news of Boss Tweed's escape. Some people remonv lorcd that the owner of the villa cnmo from Greenwich Point , a haunt of Boss Tweed's. Others remembered that in the earlier days of the occupant of the villa ho had been heard to say ho know or had mot Bocs Tweed. There wore stories of the sort of men who were the 3ld chairmakcr's friends , nnd stories of how ho enriched them. So the rumor grow , and was confirmed in the belief of the people of the neighborhood that the strange owner of the villa had now his chance to return the favors of his old friend and possibly benefactorvand what licttor place could a hunted old man find ? To complete the tale , a party of ofllccrs descended upon the place , but whatever might have been going on there , nobody was found by them. But the story was believed , and con tributed to the interest in the place and its changing fortunes that every one feels. Without further knowledge Hum ur.ystnlli7.od rumor allords , the Villa is pointed to the stranger as the place where Tweed lay hid when the news papers believed him in Florida. The itory is plausible , because ho could bo 0 easily removed by yacht down the Chesapeake and oil to Cuba. But more the story is true. My own knowledge is more direct , although one treads gin gerly among names. It was here Tweed lay concealed , and from here he was taken away by night by the son of n prominent ilemocralic politician of [ Maryland , who was once the iwlitical ally of the dethroned bosses. The story is too direct fordoubt , since It is on the authority of ono of the prin cipals of that midnight adventure , the young man himself , and through un questioned channels. The villa has fallen from its high es tate ; the walls are overgrown , the fountains tottering and the marble gods overthrown. When misfortunes over come a pane of glass or mildew attacks an ornament it never recovers. The gate is falill kept locked , but the yacht occnsmimlly glides through the water. The villa is still a slow plaCe with its past grandeur and memories , but the linger is still pointed from afar , and every ono vendors what next ? How Some People Cot Into Print. Philadelphia Record : It is very amusing the way in which certain people ple get themselves written up by news paper correspondents. The readers of their letters come to regard Miss This and Miss That as women who occupy very important positions in New York literary life , and yet to Now Yorkers they are entirely unkown. I am in the way of knowing who most of the literary lights of Now York are , and yet I must plead total ignorance of the names of n great many people whom I see heralded abroad as distinguished writers. Not only is their personal appearance des cribed , but their manner of work is recorded with enthusiastic particulars. Wo are told that Maria Hamilton Briggs or Sarah Wilhemina Johnson lives in snug apartments on such and such a street. Miss Briggs arises at a certain hour of the morning , dresses herself , makes her own tea , drinks two cups and a half of that beverage , and then retires to her dun to write. So many hours every day are given to this important work , and then she is ready for her social duties , which are always many and exacting. You would think to read these accounts that those ladies made handsome in comes from their pen and were sought by half New York for their brilliant conversation and ready wit , whereas if j'ou should come to Know them you would find that they write fashion arti cles for out-of-town papers , or , possibly , contribute stories to the widely circu lated weeklies that emanate from the metropolis. Their business is perfectly legitimate and perfectly honorable , and 1 would not for a minute say anything unpleasant about them. It is their un wise friends who are to bo blamed for dragging them into a position that they cannot fill , and by their indiscriminate pralso and constant puffery making them appear ridiculous to these who happen to know just what is their real place in the literary world.
