MADAGASCAR.
A Pleasant Country to Live In.
"How did you like the country?"
asked an Enquirer reporter of a sai
lor just f rom "Madagascar.
"Like it! Why, there isn't a re
deeming feature about it. Why, it
was enough to sicken one to see what
people eat there. In the market at
Tamatave I have seen great heaps of
small locusts dried and exposed for
sale. They were about half roasted,
and made me sick to look at them.
There are no roads barely bridle
paths through the woods, and travel
is accomplished on foot or in palan
quins long bamboo poles borne on
the shoulders of natives. The inte
rior of the country is filled with dense
forests, and during the rainy seasons
great quantities of decaying vegetable
matter are brought down. There is
a great deal of lake and marsh on the
coast and plains bordering on the sea,
and these give rise to the Malagasy
fever. The only remedies the natives
use are hot baths and herbs, which
induce perspiration. Quinine is also
used in large quantities. Why, you
can judge of the unhealthiness of the
country, for the Frenoh, who for
years have tried to establish colonies
there, called it the 'churchyard,' and
the Dutch, who were equally unsuc
cessful, nicknamed it 'the dead is
land.'" "i)o many wild animals abound
there?"
"The woods are full of them; vic
ious, venomous serpents of extraor
dinary size. Not snakes, but huge
serpents bodies as big as a man's,
and'thirty or forty feet long; power
ful enough to kill a horse or swallow
an ox. They hang down from the
limbs in the forests and snatch up
the natives going along, and make a
breakfast on" one with as much un
concern as a fly taps a sugar cork.
Near Andavaka Menarana is a deep
cave called the 'Serpents' Hole,' and
it is to full of them that they fre
quently drive the villagers all indoors.
Then they have a sort of monkey j
they call the aye aye.' It has teeth !
like a chisel and a ciaw with a prong i
or hook to it It lives on bugs that
it digs out of the trees;. and then the
rivers swarm with crocodiles, the big
gest 1 ever saw. These the natives
worship as water gods, and are super
stitious, about killing them. They
try to propitiate the oreatures by
prayers ana throwing in charms or
odys. but their virtues are owing to
the noise and shouting and beating
the water with which the ody is
always accompanied. Why, these ani
mals eat up ail the sheep and hogs,
and even larger cattle, that come any
where near tne banks; and they don't
refuse women and children who ven
ture near. At ltasy, which is a fine
lake, sixty miles west of the capital,
the people believe that if a crocodile
be killed a human life will within a
very short time be exacted by the
monster's brother relatives as an
atonement for the death. When I
was there some Frenchmen shot sev-
eraL and they had to leave the coun-1
try at once or the people would have (
murdered them. The earth has white I
cats, the air wild bees, sand liies and
mosauitoes as bier as beetles, and
whose sting hurts like a dog's bite.
The ants are the greatest pests I ever
saw. They eat every article of pro
vision or apparel; scarcely any pre
caution can elude their vigilance and
cunning. They raise a hollow cylin
der of earth perpendicularly toward
their object, and through it, as by a
ladder, they ascend by thousands.
They are terrible persecutors of
the sick: they will reach the
bed in a night's time, though hung at
a distance from the ground, wnen
their bite, like scalding water poured
upon the skin, was more intolerable
than the disease itself. The sand
flies and mosquitoes were terrible
plagues, but nothing to compare with
the wild bees, who would swarm in
the bedrooms and sting every intrud
er. Locusts come two or three times
in a summer and eat up everything
green. .But nature is so proline here
that in eight days the verdure will be
all out again. There were baboons
as big as good-sized boys. There are
two kinds '.of spiders whose bite is
deadly. One, a small black fellow,
is called menarody. Those who are
bitten fall into a swoon, and their
bodies becomn as cold as ice. The
other one. is called the foka, or crab
spider. The bite is followed by
swelling, which begins at the part
wounded and spreads through the
whole body. The animal is marooi.
colored, and death ensues in five
hours. The women are dirty, burly
headed creatures, blacker than coal,
andwear simply a cloth about their
waist, only the higher classes wear
ing shoes. Some of their punish
ments are barbarous in the extreme.
Death is a common punishment.
Christians are thrown down the side
of a scraggy, rocky mountain, and
their bones broken on the granite
rocks beneath, while the dogs eat up
their flesh. In the reign of Ranava
lona the missionaries had a tough
time of it, not equaled by the perse
cutions of the Spanish inquisition, or
the terrors of the French bastile, or
the.horrors of the black hole of Cal
cutta. Why, I have seen them throw
a prisoner on the ground and spear
him to death, just as a boy at school
sticks flies. Sometimes they flog
them to death, crucify them, burn
them alive, aud stone them to death.
The King Kodoma was strangled by
fie silk, cordt as they are superati
ikus: about shedding the blood of
ToyAlty."
Dob the country have any com
mercial relations with the rest of the
world?"
"They ship horned oattle from the
interior to the island of Mauritius if
the orooodiles don't "eat them up in
fording the rivers before they reach
the" coast They raise coffee and
rioe. Ebony is found and gum copal.
Some trade is carried on in india-rubber,"
and a few years since an English
oopany tried raising cotton, but I
cas-sot say how successful they are.
The great tronble with the country
is thatitis sp extremely unhealthy
fnr RnroDeans. It would take years
to clean out the underbrush and
iaHrtiM marshes. The missionaries
claim to have made great headway
here, both Koman Catholic and Prot
estant, but a new king or queen as
cends to the throne every now end
then, who doesn't take much stock in"
them, and they are stoned to death
by the dozen, flayed alive, tied up to
stakes, and in other cruel ways mur
dered.1' She Knew She Was Eight.
"Is the gentleman of the house in?'
he asked.
"Yes, sir; he air."
"Cat. I see him a moment?"
"No, sir; you cain't see a hide nor
hair of im!"
"Why cant't I, madam? I would
like to spoak to him on business."
"If you was a dyin' an' Jim war
the only doctor in Dakoty, you could
not sot an eye on him till he gives in
and talks decent At dinner awhile
ago he told me to pass 'im the apple
soss, an' I tol' him it wasn't soss, but
sass, an' he said he knowed better, it
was soss, an' I told him that when he
tuk a notion that a little apple snss'd
feel sooth in' to his stomic to say so,
and he said he'd have that soss er
die. Then I tol' him I'd defend that
sass with life, an' made a break fer
the shotgun, and he made a break
up through the scuttle inter the loft
When his senses come to him an' he
gives in that sass is sass he kin cum
down, but if he makes a break before
that, off goes the top of his head.
Thar sets the sass, stranger, an' thar's
Jim up in the loft, an that's the
way the matter stands jist now, an'
I reckon you'd better mosey along
an' not get mixed inter this rowr
As the gentleman moved away he
heard her voice saying:
"Jim, when you git tired o'yer duni
foolin' an' want this sass, jes' squeal
out!"
And a gruff voico from the dark
some garret respended:
"Soss!" Bismarck Tribune.
Brekikg the News Gently. Not
long since, while a gang of section
men were at work on the Ohio and
Mississippi road, the fast express
came along, and before Mike Martin, I
one of the number, could get out of
the way of the train he was run over
and killed. His comrades were stand-
ing about viewing the reniainB and "
lamenting over Mike's fate, when one .
of them said: "And who will break j
the news to the widdy?" After a;
short conference it was decided that
Jerry Donovan should go to Mike's
late residence and inform Mrs. Mar
tin of poor Mike's death as gently as
possible. He left his comrades, and
going to Mike's house said: "Good
mornin' Mrs. Martin.'' "Good morn
ing, Jerry, said she. "Now," com
pose yourself, Mrs. Martin," said Jer
ry, 'Tm going to paralyze you.
Where's Mike?" "Suro lic'o be.vuut
.workin' on the section." "You're a
liar!" said Jerry; "he's dead. Cin
