In the morning they rslsea the camp, and at that moment a quarrel arose between Msndartu and the natives, whom Bianchi and his companions, With the help of aservant, managed to separate, and the journey was continued. They arrived an evening at a place called Rob- cock, which is still in the region of Mave- js. There, on the summit 01 an elevation, near a small lake, they camped. Bianchi and his Lompanwns ascended to the tup- ‘ most point, and exdeim‘ed, ‘ here is As- ssb; we are Very nesrl’ and joyfully re turned to the camp. The Dunakils had tlken with them a. fine white cow as a present, and this was killed for supper. Afterward the whole party began to talk and laugh, but the travellers were on their guard, and had placed some slaves and an Abyssinian servant outside to watch, while Bianchi's own faithful ser- um. went to and fro. Towards 2 o'clock in the morning some noise was heard outside the camp. The travellers were taken by surprise. Bianchi had only time to call his faithful servant, ‘ Ciufa. ‘.

The servants outside the tent shot a na- tive, but in their turn were all massacred. This occurred about the Tub or 8th of October. In the morning, when the Danakils found that Mandaitu was Wounded, they gave him twenty cows and thirty sheep, and carried him into his own country, also called Mandaitu. and only two days’ journey from Slket. This,” continues Signor Luccsrdi, “ )3 the sad story related by Naretti. It seems to me that Mendailu, who misled Bianvhi and his companions, is the chief traitor.

In London the increase has been 12 per 09113.. so that the metropolis now has a doc‘or to every 880 idhabitauts.

The remainder, many of which are fallen or broken, are still in Egypn. The small- est is the Lepsins obelisk in the Royal Museum at, Berlin, which is two feet one and a half inches high, and weighs 200 pounds ; the largest, unfinished, of Assousn, still in quarries at Syene, the estimated weight of which is more than 1,500,000 pounds. In the twentyeight large towns of Englandâ€"containing an aggregate of 9,000.0000i populationâ€"the death rate for 1884 was 19 3 per 1,000, being 1.4 below the mean rate in the ten years end- ing in 1833. The rates for 1881-2-3 were 18.9, 19.6, and 19 5. The decline has been, according to the Lancet, coincident wiah the Public Health acts (f 1872, and 1875. From 1840 to 1870 the rate was practically stationary at 22 4; from 1871 to 1875 it declined to 22, and in 1876-80 fell to 20.08. In the first four years of the current decade it :fell to 19.3. and the death rate in each year was lower than in any of the fortywthree previous years. The effect of these reductions is to add two years to the life of every male and three and a half to the life of every female \ born in England.

Then I could hear them talking, and pretty soon I made up my mind that the train had stepped down the load, and that the robbers were watching it. “ Before long they took to their heels, mounted their horses and were gone, and when some men came up from the train to the depot. armed with Winchesters, I was the only occupant. was the only occupant. “ They releaeed me, and I told them what had happened.

The commodore was so disconcertod by this that he “piped all hands ;” but, as our contemporary from whose columns we read this marvellous tale says, the men no sooner came on deck and got struck by the flying beetles than they bolted in terror. The captain determined to have the matter out, though his face was well nigh pounded to a jelly, besides being bitten and stung.
