V A firework factory is not a \ cry imposing establishment to look at. t czuiiiot Very well he so, it is necessary to have almost as finally workshops as there are various pro- chesses in the manufacture, and the law rc- \ quires that only a certain amount of materi- a] shall be accumulated in each shop : that only a certain number of hands shall be em- ployed in it; that the centre of each shop shall be at least twenty-live yards from the centre of any other shop, and that finished fireworks shall be sorted in quantities strict- ly limited and clearly specified in magazines sunk in the ground at least fifty yards from any other magazine or workshop. A large firework factory. therefore, has the appear~ 8.1108 of a rather queer-looking industrial village, the open spaces of which may per- haps he piled up with dehriss of one sort and another, while some of the roadways aboutit are fringed with a display of iron mortara,wlfich to any one who should chance to come upon the place without any lmowl~ edge of its character, might very properly suggest the idea. that the heaps of broken frames, rocket-sticks, barrels, etc., were the outcome of a. recent bombardment. hidden? To insure that this piohibition is adhered to, every person is searched before commencing to work. If it is necessary. as it sometimes is at busy times,t0 carry on work after dark, each workshop must be lighted by a gas-lamp shining through the window from the outside. These regulations apply, of course, only to such of the workshops as are devoted to that part of the business in- volving the use of explosive substances. One or two of the largest buildings are de- voted to the manufacture of the cases, and avery pretty manufacture it is to watch. The most interesting feature of it. perhaps, is the mat-king of cases of Shells, ~those pyrotechnic oddities that spring into the air witha bang, go whirling up with 2L lighted fuse just like the bombshellof war, and then burst into stars of golden 1‘;Lin,iiery fishes,or innumerable snakes. The cases are made of brown paper, each being formed by neatly fitting together two hollow hemispheres. To makes these hemispheres a boy sits with a. little marble mold before him, and pastes in layer after layer of brown paper just as :1 cook puts into a basin the crust of a meat budding. \Vhen two such hemispheres are dry and hard they are neatly tinuned round with frame and glued togethenso as to form a. lolge,,i11 which a hole is left open for the ' ewnd fuse by which it is to be ignit d. ' V'hese shells are usually discharged from an- -oic:on mortar, just as the deadly missiles of war are thrown. It has been found practi- cable, however, to make paper mortars of snflieient strength to throw up shells of moderate size very effectively. The largest of these shells are twelve inches in diameter, and are as perfectly spherical and look to he as hard as common halls. How the Pyrotechnics for " Grand Dis- plays" are Made. It is not altogether an inviting enclosure for a stranger to make his way into. There is a. bigr notice of “Danger” in capital letters near the entrance, and all sorts of notices of pains and penalties and warnings to tres- passers. There are some fifty workshops and Iliagazines dotted over about twenty- one acres of grass land, and the rule and regulations posted up here and there about the place convey the ideafiquite an erroneous one, no doilht, that a general hlow»up may be expected at any moment.

Perhaps the niost delicate and interesting feature of modern firework-making is the charge of Roman candlesfithose colored balls which are puffed out softly into the air one after the other without any report, and which are always recognized as such a pret- ty feature of the Sydenham displays. The public like to see those balls thrown out with exactly ankqual force, so as to play just within the same sphere. In order to secure this very careful adjustment is necessary.

It consists of a tube which is thrust down the throat after the manner of the sword- swallowinqjugglers. The tube contains an isolated conductor of electricity, two water canals, and an air canal and a wide opening for the optical appa 'zttus. The stomach is emptied by means ol'_u stomaclnpump previous to the introduction of the apparatus, and is then inflated through the air'tubes. At the bottom of the tube are two windows, one on eachsiiic, through which the walls of the stomach can be seen, the requisite light be ing furnished by an incandescent pla-tinuicoil which is connected with the conductor.

The last mail from West Africa brings us a, horrible story of Ashantee cruelty, which, however, awaits confirmation. The present sovereign of that country is the brother of King liofl'ee lialkalli, with whom in former days we had seine unpleasant words and Sir Garnet \Volseley some hard blows. But until his Majesty, only a few months ago. began to develop his family tendency to raid on the Fanti territories, and even to threaten Cape Coast Castle, so little had the affairs of Ashantee land troubled the outer world that it came almost as a surprise to learn that ii of‘fee had been deposed, and that his broth- er reigned in his stead. However, the astute monarch, when he heard of the rein- forcements from Sierra Leone, hastened to assure the British Governor that the whole affair was a. mistake, and that, so far from ever dreaming of molesting his good friends, the white men, he was encouraging the mis- sionaries in every way. In brief, he was quite a reformed character, and in proof thereof dispatched his golden axe to keep company in \Vindsor with his brother’s umâ€" brella and the war club of Tha Itomhau, of Fiji. Nevertheless, if the woman who has escaped from the Ashantee capital is not telling traveller’s tales, his Majesty’s man- ners will decidedly bear improvement. Only reeentlyudso runs the storxhâ€"some “swish” recently~450 runs the story~some ‘.‘Swish" was required for the repair of one of the royal buildings in Coonmssic. New, the “swish” used in ordinary houses is simply red earth worked up with water until it thus acquires a certain degree of tenacity. But this vulgar mortar was not suflieient for the King’s purposes. Accordingly he directed 200 young girls to be murdered in order that blood might be used to moisten the clay out of which the palace walls were to be con- strueted. This ferocious mandate was duly executed, the only one of the victims Who escaped being the refugee who has carried the tale to Cape Coast Castle. For the sake of human nature one would fain believe this atrocious story to be an in- vention, though unfortunately, it is tho- roughly in keeping with what we know of Ashantee curtoms, and so much on a par with similar superstitions elsewhere, that we fear there is a. large element of truth in it, even should it prove to he exaggerated in few minor particulars. The Ashen-tees, like their neighbours, the Ffons, of Dahomey, revel in human blood. The King’s Ochras, or buttons, are slaughtered when he (lies and the “King’s stool,” on which is sprinkled a few drops of the blood of every person exe- cuted, when last seen was a. horrible spec- tacle. The executioners are men of high rank. The most trifling offence is punish- ed by decapitation. and so familiar is this scene to the residents in Coomassie that when the little son of one of the German Inissionariesmwho were freed by KingKof‘fee on the approach of our troopsfiwas angry with any one he would exclaini, “Your head will fall to-morrow l” The town resembles a charnel house. The piles of skull and bones heaped up at intervals testify to the long continuance of these inhuman practices, and even when the army of Sir Garnet \Vol- seley entered the place the putrefying bodies, still unburied, filled the air with a dreadful stench. It is, therefore, more than probable that the latest story from Ashantee is substanâ€" tially true. Human life is always at a. dis- count in these thickly populated African kingdoms. Could the African potentates he taught to cultivate the soil, or to mine the minerals in it, they would, with their na- tural shrewdness speedily discover at more profitable employmentfor their subjects and captives than killing them. Sixty years ago the King of Ashantee told M. Dupuis that since the King of England had pre- vented him from selling his slaves he had to murder them, lest they should grow strong and murder him. Africa is, nuleed, never likely to he the Eldorando of traders, as for a, time it was thouth to be. Mr. Joseph Thompson, in the course of his recent journey, saw nothing worthy of the attention of European capitalis's, and in spite of the inflated accounts of Mr. Stanley, Dr. (J‘rouldsbury, Administrator of the Gam- bia, in the report of his exploration into the interior of that colony, just issued, afliirms most positively that “any hope based on that fiction of the future. tonit, the event of Africa becoming England’s mart for manu- factured goods” is certain to end in disap- pointment. 'l‘he storywhich theAshantee girl has brought from Coomassie is a. terrible example of one these fearful “survivals” which the ethnolo- gist is daily unearthing, If the King mixes his palace “swish” with the blood of 200 virgins, he is only a nineteenth century re- presentative of the twelve masons who, when the walls of Copenhagen sank as fast they were built, vaulted into them and inâ€" nocent girl at play, and thus allayed the wrath of the Northern “nisserf‘ The Bridge of Arta fell again and again, until the work- men walled in their masters wife, and we are told that, in accordance with her dying curse, it treulblcs to this very day. There is scarcely a Church in G erinany or Denmark to which some such legend does not attach,and in Polynesia temples are pointed out, the founâ€" dations of which were imbedded in human bodies. Two years ago the native quarters of Madras were wildly excited over a rumor that the Government was about to sacrifice several victims in order to ensure the safety of the new harbor works, and a few years earlier the same idea so generally prevailed inCalcutta,wheu theHooghly bridge wasbeing constructed, that fora time the people dread- ed to go abroad after dark less they should be kidnapped. In (ialam, in Africa, a. boy and girl used to be buried alive before the chief gate of the city as a fetch to make it impassable to an enemy, and in Bambarra.

ATROC ITIES IN ASEAN'I‘EE. szdun de rm] We extract or condense the subjoined from correspondence which appeared recent-_ ly in the Daily Telegraph. One writer says : “1 think it would not be entirely without p:ofit if you 0 ened your columns to a. little discussion of tie "l‘ruth about Ghosts,’ on the lines which, with yourpreinission, 1 will here venture to suggest. For myself, 1 know no more of the "l‘ruth about Ghosts than other people. I believe that Spiritu- alism, as professed and practised by most of its adherents,deserves much of the contempt or impotence into which it seems to have fallen. Permit me to speculate a little. Man enters upon an existence here, limited as to its information upon past, present, and future, by the range of his senses. Still there are at least conceivable ways in which our sense knowledge might be augmented. If aman with his present human power’ could travel from earth, through space, he would probably see, hear, touch, and realise new forms of being at every new. point. The touch. the taste, the hearing, and the smell might rise wonderfully, but not quite na- turally,to powers and pleasures_unspeakably enhanced beyond those we know. All this is at all events imaginable in the direction of an ordered though abrupt development of life if it were not that we are bound to earth by our bodies, and must die to be free. Yet being thus bound our senses themselves bear witnessto the positive existence of objects destined for higher sense-knowledge beyond them. The commonest reflection proves it unscientific to disbelieve in what we cannot see or feel. The piece of ice on which the skater safely stands can be rendered invisi- ble as super-heated steam. In optics it is known how glass, water. and alum are im- pervious to dark rays which easily find their way through rock salt, and show heat action beyond the red. \Vith high temperatures, evidence is obtained by very simple experi- ments of actinic or chemical rays which lie beyond the violet. 'In other words we do not see with ordinary eyesight even all of our own light; we do not hear even all the sounds of our own vibrating atmosphere. But the unseen light and the unheard sound nevertheless truly exist. Is there not a strong suggestion here that the range of the senses may be from time to time extended beyond the usual corporal experience, and perhaps has otten been ‘3 Let us come back from these imaginative preliminaries to those ghost stories, if any such there be, where the evidence of good faith and au- thentic occurrence is so strong that we must either find some theory to fit them, or set aside everything related except it be con- firmed by personal experience. To see a veritable ghost such as we are assuming may make its appearance either the eye must be temporarily armed with abnormal capacity, or some sort of matter not usually visible must by some means be rendered so. Perâ€" haps both of these changes can be at times, and in places, brought about by nothing whatever Slipc1"natiix'al,but merely by means unusual andunregulated. The ether is not supernatural. It must be. if anything is real, as real as granite, for not otherwise could light and heat pass to us over its ex- quisite bridge, or suns attract their planets. 1t permeates all visible matter, and is per- haps its origin. Universal, elastic, plastic. it seems to bear to ordinary material such a relation as the will in man bears to'the coars- er forces in nature. \Vhat makes it inipos~ sible that the strong exercise of emotion or volition, consciously or unconsciously put forth, may, in ways wholly natural but as yet unforinulated for science, impress itself visibly upon ether? It would hardly be more of a miracle if concentrated thought, impelled by Vigorous will, should sometimes embody itself on the finer matter which must be in medium, than is the daily unex- plained marvel of an artist’s invention ex- pressing itself froni ln'ain by muscle and nerve in line orcolor. It does not render my suggestion less worth making because this is, as has been lately pointed out, the solu- tion offered by Eastern psychology. The secret of the Hindoo Uecultists constantly hinted at or stated in their sacred wrltings is that all so-called spiritual phenomena take place in the Akash. or ether, by' exercise of ascetic powers or cultivated will. To the same order of ideas belongs the not altogeth. er unplausible theory that our inner life on earth is all this while building up a ethereal body which forms the abode of the immortal principle after death, and is in turn capable mother spheres of fresh refinements.” One correspondent u'i'itesz»m“l know a household in the \Vestof England, which is completely upset and rendered miserable by apparitiona and mysterious oecurrenees, which can neither he explained, terminated, nor tolerated. The lady of the house, in spite of all efforts to live down the annoy- ance, is driven‘to live away from her home as the only means to restore her health,seriâ€" onsly shaken by what is constantly seen and heard. The house is ancient and well buil t, and cbst the present owner a eonsideralile sum of money. He is a sin-ewd, sensible man of the world, the last to allow the reality of phenomena which diminish the value of his property. Yet from the time of his first marriage till now there has been seen again and again the shadowy form of a woman holding a child in her arms, and noises and nocturnal disturbances have con» tinned. My friend‘s second wife has been even more troubled that the first, She has repeatedly seen the tiguremsometimes plain- ly, sometimes as vague phantoms. Ghostly hands have been witnessed on the stairâ€"rail. and governesses and visitors have noticed flitting lights. steps on the staircase, and doors opening and shutting in the dead of night. The children playing in the nursery have been known to jump from their rock- ingdlorse, and run hurriedly downstairs, crying, “We cannot stay upstairs, mannna I There is the lady again!” My friend has applied every test which a healthy unheliel in ‘spirits’ and a knowledge of human nature would suggest. Traps have been set to catch the supposed trickster ; ’hildren and servants have been elosely scrutinised; hard headed guests have watched with him ; I believe that an accomplished London detec- tive has been secretly engaged to inyesti- gate the nuisance. Yet it continues, and though no actual mischief attends the mid- night waudering of the phantasms, or their queer proceedings, the worry, the discom~ fort, and the perturbation may be he imagin- ed. ” An humble man is like a good tree ; the more full of fruit the branches are the lower they hand themselves. Views on Ghosts. M 4-0., .0 It may be claimed by some literal minded people, to whom the scope of a word is lim- ited by the iron boundaries of the standard dictionary, that there is nothing ethical about theft ; but as society practically ad- mits that the appropriation of umbrellas is not stealing the custom becomes out) of the recognized topics for othical considerm tion. In the first place it is undeniable that a man in search of an umbrella which is not his own should not appropriate one belong- ing to a lady. To steal a lady’s umbrella is to subject to damage more personal prop- erty than could be saved by the same um- brella in masculine hands. The appropriat- or saves at the very best a ten dollar hat, whereas the bonnet which the umbrella should cover may have cost more than a man’s entire wardrobe. It is not proper to steal a preacher’s umbrella on Sunday ; for, paradoxical it may seem, his sermon may be watered yet be fuller of fire and brimstone than the condition of his congregation re- quires. To take the umbrella of a young man who has brought his sweetheart to an evening party and cannot aiford a carriage in which to convey her home may be justi- fied by some stern necessity, such as that of dodging a creditor or a fiend who is whist- ling “l’inafore,” but it is an act to be de- plored, for it is likely to prompt the loser to a similar deed,and when such a work begins at a party some young woman is sure to reach home in a frame of mind that presages a broken engagement and a multitude of un- trnthful explanations to particular friends. To steal an umbrella of a man who has just donned a new suit promises well for the clothing trade, and business progress, like the previous question, is always in order, no matter who may suffer. To steal an ex- quisite’s umbrella is always a meritorious act, iorifthe one-time owner is obliged to walk in the rain his antics are amusing in the extreme and do much to drive (lull care away from all beholders. To return a stol- en umbrella is not exactly contrary to good morals, but it is a terrible imputation upon the mental condition of the conscientious thief. If Guitean should escape on the plea of insanity, he may thank the man who is ready to swear that the late President’s murderer returned an umbrella that he had stolen. Other phases of this subject might be consideredde time allow, but enough has already been said to enable the honest um- brella thief to himself continue the discus» sion withoutjournalistic assistance.

In the city of Palermo, Sicily, an extra- ordinary crilninal trial is now exciting pub- lic interest. In March last a- number of needy medical students there conspired to- gether to carry off one of their fellow stu- dents, named l’izzo, the son 0': a wealthy landowner, and to extort for his ransom the sum of $25,000 from his father, after the. method of the (lrcek brigands of to-day, nu London Spectator Miss 01' Mrs. Sarah Hecktord writes to the Times to say that although without a diploma, she practised medicine for two years in India, and douhts whether there is a remunerative field for female doetors.They are greatly wanted; but she thinks the na. tives, though most ready to receive them, are unwilling to pay heavy tees for services to their women, and say that even in mid- wifery cases they will give a large honorari- um it the child is aboy, and nothing at all if it is a girl. The last remark is probably true, native feeling on that matter being as incurable as that of the old Jews; but we do not believe the general argument. Nai- tives are rich, and like allLother human he- ings, will pay for what they value, and they value their women. That it may he need- ful to claim fees in advance is possible, as they have a notion that medical attendance is a, work of merit, which repays itself ; and we have no doubt that xu, Government ap- pointment, even without a salary, would be an assistance to the first female doet<>rs;but there are thousands of women in India with property of their own. The absence of a diploma would make all the difference in the amount of the fee paid, as the defect would enable the native “doctor” to discredit the intrusive European. It is a most serious pity‘that the experiment should not be tried at first with the assistance of the India 0f- tice, Ajmere, the centre of the Rajpoot Courts, being selected in the first instance. Nothing would be easier than _to appoint a lady “Additional Surgeon to the Residency" on 3001's. 3 month. These young men, howcevel', did not in- tend to keep faith after the money had been paid for the, life of the hostage, but it was their plan to murder their victim, and, after cutting his body into piczzcs, to secrete the remanm. . Their reasons for mmng to this sum fin- ary dctcrmlnation were that they feared l’izzo, in spite of all the oaths they could exact of him, would ultimately denounce them by name to the police, and, moreover, that, as the whole scheme would have to be carried out; in Palermo itself, where there are no mountains or ravines as in the interi- or, favorable to the concealment of law- breakors, it would be the safest way to m- movc all evidences of their guilt. . . 7 . . . .. _ u ' """ "’J" ":3 Pizza, who, forewarned, huh the nerve to enter the retreat of the 1m ndits on the arm (f his would-be betrayer, M cmadantc,am1 wit- ness there the preparations for his death.
