In 1787 the ship Bounty set sail from
England, under tho direction of the
English Government, for tho Society
Islands for a stock of brcai-fru t trees.
J lie s.aulol laniti was readied in
safety ami the trees collected, but the
Bounty had not proceeded long on her

crew, overcome by tho temptation of
leading a l.fu of total idleness and dis,

Fletcher Christian, was tho leader of
the mutiny, and out of a crew of forty
six men sixteen only remained true to
their commander. Captain Bligh was

MIRAMBO.
Death of the Mitn Whom Htnty L'alleiT
tlir Napoleon of Africa.
A dispatch from Zanzibar tho other
day announced tho death of M r uubo,
whom St uiley called tho Napoleon of
Africa. Mirambo has for fifteen years
been tho terror of East Africa, and ex
plorers used to bring homo startling
.stones about the robber chief. He
proved, however, to bo ono of tho best
friends of the whites among African
potentates, and all tho later explorers
speak well of him.
Mirambo was tho chief of a littlo dis
trict in Unyamwczi, about 100 miles
east of Lako Tanganyika. He treated
tho Arabs who had settled near him
with great friendliness, and oft n gave
tifty cattle at a time as a present to
anybody whom ho esteemed. One of
tho traders took advantage of his good
nature to obta'n a large quantity of
ivory on cred t Ho then laughed at
Mirambo for trusting him, and refused
pavment, and tho Arabs ntUnyrnycinbe
turned thoir backs 611 Mirambo when
ho asked for justice. They have rued
the day ever since they made him an
enemy. Ho never forgavo the wrong.
He beat them repeatedly in
battle, and li 11 ally filled them
w.th such abject terror that they
have 111010 than- onco simply bar
ricaded themselves in their houses when
ho entered Unyenyembe, nnd let him
drivo oft their cattle without ottering
any resistance. For years ho was con
stantly on tho move, extending his do
minion and . bringing destruction
upon all tribes that did not submit.
Ho became tho most feared and most
powerful chief between tho Indian
Ocean and Tanganyika. African
mothers east of that lake and south
of Myassa have long used tho namo
Mirambo as a bugaboo to subdue re
fractory children.
White trawlers nnd missionaries
found another side to Miranibo's
character. They discovered that h;
fa thfully kcjd his jiromiscs, nnd that
when he sroko he m 'ant exactly what
he said. He treated oue ami nil kindly.
A nourishing mission station is in his
chief town. Stores of all sorts left in
Mirambo's charge have been carefully
kept from damage or thieves to
await tho call of the owner. The cara
vans from the coast that siip!y tho
Tanganyika Mission Stations now
avoid tho old route through the Arab
settlementi, and pass through M:ratn
bo's country. A few white men and
tho devoted followers who hclp'id him
extend h s power will mourn his do-
parture. The rest of East Africa is
probably very glad he is dead. .V. Y.

theory savs a man with broad, oyster-
shell ears, having the usual number of
winkles, may bo safely classed as an
individual of rare intellect and estab

and going out of fashion. Never seek
to be familiar with the man who has fat
ears. A man with such cars needs
practical sympathy. Tho chances aro
ho will tell you bo. When you see a
man with little, shriveled ears, which
have the aptcaranee of having been
glued upon the sides of h's head, do not
introduce ladies to him as a desirable
man for marriage execjit ho be a mil
lionaire. A long car plainly indicates
firmness of character. I'h'g is jio.m
liarly characteristic of Chicago. The
longer the oar the greater the hrraness.
Well developed ears, neither too long
nor too thick, with no tendency to Hop,
and having a shrimp pink color indicate
a docile creature. There are some
drawbacks to this art of read ng a
man's character by his cars. For in

most popular men have a tendency to
conceal tho ear, but beneath will bo
found the indicat on of obstinaey and
vanity, without common sense, though
much eloquence. A'. Y. Herald.
