FIJI ISLAMIEKS. ThHr Orrmnnlnl Innf-r..irlinnl lrrsrn Phy Tnrnril Into ft Mniia-.Tlie (Irrnt nil " MeUc-., Firing Vox nnri a Club Dnncr. A correKpouJcnt writes m follows from Fiji, iutho South Vavi&o oecnn : It was nnnifliiiK in the morning to watcli the country people ntrenraing into the town in large and Bmnll pnrties in ennoes or along the paths on the banks of the river. They had their "mart dnucing drefmes tied up in bundles, some with their faces alrendy painted, and their hair done up in tappa in tho oddest way possible. All the time the '' lall " (native wooden drums) were mak ing a great row in tho square, and when nil the people were assembled we went and snt down under a canopy of mats which had been put up to screen us from the sun. First came tho school children. They passed us In single file, and passing inside tho advancing iile coiled themselves up in the center of the Rquaro. Each child as it passed halted and read a verse from the Bible. Then they unwound themselves, and came up in tlio same fashion with their writing on slates. Then camo a dance on the " meke." They retired a little, divided into bands, and then came forward in a soi t of dance, turning first to the one side aud then the other, moving in the most perfect time, and chantiug as they came. All their movements were graceful, and the way in which the tuue, if one can so call it, was first of all sung by those iu front, and then taken up, a third lower, by those behind, was very effective. If I have time I will trans late tho " meke" for yon. It was " com posed for tho occasion." When they had come close enough, on a signal they ail sat down and begau a geography les son. The native teacher called out the name of a country, as "Peritania," (Britain), and one of the children, iu a low minor key, began to chant "Peri tania as matnnitu " (Britain is a king dom). Then a third higher some other words, whero Britain is, etc., aud then, with a swaying motion of their bodies aud a rythmical clapping of hands, sometimes beating the ground, (some time pointing on one side, sometimes on the other, and sometimes joining bauds overhead, they all joined in a chant descriptive of the extent, govern ment, etc., of the British empire ; in fact, school geography turned into a rather pretty song. In this way they went through nearly all the countries i Europe. Then camo the event of the day, the great State "meke." The first was the "Flying Fos Dance." From the half hidden roads leading out of the comers of the square came two bands of men dressed iu "likus''(a sort of kilt) of green aud colored leaves. These were beautifully made, the leaves lying very thick one above another, and' reaching below their knees. The men were very Hue specimens of humanity; some had their faces blackened or p'aiuted black and red, and their heads done up iu the most elaborate way with white tappa. Garlands of flowers and leaves hung round their necks, and they had garters aud armlets of bright-colored leaves on their arms and legs. To describe the danco is far beyond m power. There must have been over 200 men and about sixty cnildreu taking part iu it. The two parties approached eaeh other iu the usual " meke " form, au odd mixture of march and dance, and after various evolntions every man threw away the huge palm-leaf fan which he carried in his hand. This wai the end of tho first act. In the next part tho flying foxes proceeded to rob a banana tree. A pole was set up iu the middle of the square, and on the top of it a banana plnut, with a buuch of artificial fruit made of husked cocoanuts full of oil. The two bands advanced, aud seemed to consult, and then messengers wcro sent from either party, to see, I suppose, that all was safe. They went Hviner arouud the tsquare with their arms stretched out, making a noise like a flyiug fox. With a great deal of dancing the main body approached the tree, aud one of them climbed up, while the little flying foxes circled rouul, aul ftuidly clustered under the tre, crying with delight at tho sight of tho fruit. The fox iu the tree huug by his logs and flapped his arms, when auothor climbed after him, and they bit and scratched and squalled just as big bats do, aud the first-comer was turned out. Tho whole dauco lasted , about half uu hour, and between each figure there was a slight pause. The time was wonderful every swish of their likus was in unison, and they were most clever iu adapting themselves to auy inequality iu tne ground. There was a musical accompaniment of native drums and hollow bamboos, played by about twenty gaily-dressed old gentleman. Next came a club dance: The square was surrounded except ou one side, where stood tho great church as I ought before to have mentioned, by plantations of bananas and bread-fruit; so that one saw nothing of the preparations , and formation, but heard the chant of the dancers before they came in from dif ferent paths. From either side advanced a party, each about eighty strong, marching three abreast, armed with short spears made of bamboo, cut into fantastic shapes at the end, or with the shafts painted or covered with a matting of reeds. As the two parties approached each other very, very slowly they chanted, and swung their bodies from side to side, thrusting and parrying with their spears, which were held overhead; every hand and every foot moving exactly together. When about twelve yards from each other, each body wheeled away from us, and we saw advancing between them from some distance another body of men, of about the same strength as both the others, but twelve abreast, and armed with clubs. This " meke," in which over 300 men were dancing, was wild and pioturesque, and the men fine, well-made fellowsis they were all chiefs, or men of high birth. The dresses in thiH dauce were even more brilliant than in the last. Each man had a liku of strips of pandanus leaf, dyed black, yellow, and red in strips. Their bodies and faces were elaborately painted black and red, and their heads were done up in folds of very fine tappa, wliite or brown, or in some cases (what I have never seen before) of a bright blue. They had sashes of white tappa, in thick folds, terminating sometimes in stream ers, aud sometimes in a long train, not allowed to touch the ground, but looped up again into the sash, something like the things ladies used to wear a little while ago. Each man of the front rank of the larger body had a splendid large breast-plate of ivory and pearl-shell. Many had a large boar's tooth hung round their necks rather an effective ornament and armlets, garters, and bracelets of shells, ivory, or black water weed, according to his fancy. The next dti'ice was the most graceful of all. It is called The Waves of the Spa," and represented the sea coming up ou the reef. I tie ureases of the men were much the same as in the last, but there were also a number of children iu bright likus, aud with garlands of leaves aud flowers. Fust of all, they formed a long line, thon breaking the line, danced forward, ten or twelve at a time, for a few steps, bend down their bodies and spreading out their hands, as the little shoots of a wave run up on the beach. Then wave after wave rolled in, aud then at the end of tho long line ran round, first a few at a time, some falling back again; then more and more, as the tide runs up on the shore-side of the reef, mid nothing but a small island of coral is left. The band kept up a sound like the roar of the surf; and as the tide rose and the waves began to meet and battle over the little islmd, the dancers threw their arms over their heads as they met, and their white tappa-covered heads shook as' thoy bounded into the air, like the sprays of the breaking surf. The peoplo sitting round screamed with delight. The idea of the dance could not have been more artistically carried out. A During Robbery. A despatch from Wapakoneta, Ohio, says: A daring robbery, unprecedented in the history of Auglaize county for boldness, was committed in this place. Lewis Myers, the county treasurer, was going homeward at about ten o'clock, p. m., and just as he got opposite the first alley eiist of his residence three men threw a heavy blanket over his head and pressed him to the ground. Mr. Myers guessed their object instantaneously, aud attempted to throw away his office keys ; bnt his quick-eyed captors detected the attempt aud prevented it. They carried him back into the alley, and guarded him until about eleven o'clock. Then they carried him bodily to the court house, unceremoniously throwing him over the fence in the alloy east of E. D. Marshall's. The back door was then broken open, and the treasurer was carried into the hall and reqnested to open the office door, but he refused, even under the threat of torture by burning. To show they were in earnest, a fire was started in the narrow passageway between the vaults, and Mr. Myers was held over it until the heat burued the legs of his Eautaloous and scorched his feet. After eing nearly suffocated with the smoke, he uulocked the door and admitted them. He still refused, however, to open tho Bafe, protesting that the combination to unlock the inner doors was unknown to him, being known only to his sou. They would not accept this, aud presenting a cocked revolver to each temple compelled him to open the safe. While two of the robbers were rifling the safe, a third stood guard at the back hall door, and from certain sounds Mr. Myers inferred that one was at the front door. At a little after midnight the rob bers departed with their booty, except one who stood over the county treasurer, revolver in hand, until tho three o'clock train came in. Then he vanished. At six o'clock Mr. Myers was discov ered by the janitor, gagged and tightly bound to a chair, where he had suffered during the long hours of the night. The loss is between 831,000 and 832, 000, wholly in greenbacks and bank notes. The robbers overlooked iu their haste a package of 8-0,000 iu govern ment bonds belonging to Samuel Bitler, of the Farmer's Bank. It was in au en velope, and wrapped up in an old piece of newspaper. Mr. Myers' hat was found where it had been dropped in the street. His watch was found where it was thrown over tho fence. The thieves took it from him, but had the discretion not to keep it. A Novel Accidental Discovery. More novelties are the result of accident than is generally supposed. The origin of blue-tinted paper came about by a mere slip of tho hand. William East, an Euglislj paper-maker, once upon a time set his men to work, and went away on business. While the men were at dinner, Mrs. East accidentally let a blue- bag fall into one of the vats of pulp. Alarmed at the occurrence, she deter mined to say nothing about it. Great was the astonishment of the workmen when they saw the peculiar color of the paper, and the great anger of Mr. East whence returned and found that thewhole vat of pulp had beea spoiled. After giving the paper made from it warchonso room for four years, Mr. East sent it np to his agent in London to be sold "for what it would fetch." "For what it will fetch 1" said the agent, misunderstanding the meaning. " Well, it certainly is a novelty, but he must not expect too much." So ho sold the whole at a considerable advauco upon the market price, and wrote to the mills for as much more as he could get. The surprise of Mr. East may bo imagined. He hastened to tell his wife, who found courage to confess her share in the fortunate accident aud to claim a reward, which she received in the shape of a new cloak. Mr. East kept his secret, and for a short time supplied the market with the novel tint, until the demand far exceeded the supply, and other maker?, discovering the means used, competed with him. Savings Dank Salaries. A New York correspondent says : The whole amount of savings bank deposits in Gotham is over 8200,000,000, aud the total cost of taking care of them is $725, 000. The fcalary list is an interesting study. It gives one an idea that the men who run the savings banks don't do it out of philanthropy altogether. There's money iu it for most of them, and quite a good deal for some. One bank pays its president a salary of 810, 000. Another pays a treasurer 812,000. A third pays a secretary 810,000. Another pays 822,000 to a president aud secre tary. It is curious how things are mixed as to the compensation of the officers. Ono bank pays a treasurer 812,000, and gives only 83,000 to its president. Another is run by an actuary and an assistant, who together get 8H500. In another there is neither president, secretary nor actuary, but comptroller, treasurer and accountant gather in 817,000 between them. One bank employs nine book keepers, and another thirteen. One keeps an appraiser of real estate at $3, 000, another keeps one at 8000. A bank with deposits of nearly 830,000,000 has an expense account of 803,000, and one witii deposits of .i,UUU,D0U expends 836,000. A Knowing Dog. A gentleman in Westchester county is the fortunate owner of two dogs, one an Newfouclauder, and the other a lit tle black-and-tan terrier. One cold night last winter a friend who happened to be at the geutleman s house heard the little dog burking at a furious rate, and in quired tho cause. "I'll tell you," said the gentleman ; " both dogs occupy ono house, and the big dog, on the principal that might makes right takes the insula. But here's a piece of canine strategy. The little fellow runs into the yard and barks and barks, till the big fellow comes out to sea what s the matter, when the blat'k-aud-tan hikes the opportunity to slip into the kennel, aud so secure the snug inside berth, htrauge to say, as often as this trick has beeu played on the lug dog, be seems to grow no wiser, but is sold every time. LIVES THAT ARE HOPELESS. Women who nrn Nrrvlim Life Nontcnrrs for Murder-.-"' Und tins Fnralven Alp, bill ftlnn WIM Not "The C'nraln Mmllli Tragedy. I From Hi Detroit Froe Prom. J Over the grim stone walls of the women's ward at the Detroit house of correction clambers a woodbine, and birds have been there and built their nests. Under the iron cornice the spar rows are rearing their young and chat ter ing to each other ail day long. It is pleasant to seo those cold walls thus covered, and yet one sighs at the remem brance that the ward holds some of the saddest hearts in the world. The other day, as our reporter entered the women's ward, the first person he saw was Orilla Smith, a woman some thirty years of age, who has already served eleven years of a life sentence. She and her hus band were sent to Jackson for life for at tempting to poison his father, or rather for poisoning him with intent to kill. The dose was not successfully adminis tered, and the victim was the witness who sent him to prison. Three or four years ago the husband was pardoned out to die, but the air of liberty revived him, and he mastered the disease that had brought him near death's door. A year or two ago he was married again, and all these facts are known to the wife, who paces up and down the corridor, and weepingly asks : " Have I not suffered enough ? Have I not been here a lifetime?" Sho was transferred from Jackson two or three years ago, aud at present is an assistant in her ward. Men have con sidered the life sentence too severe, and as she has been immured eleven long years, and her husband is free, her friends have hopes that she will be par doned within another year. The tor tures of conscience and the pangs of sor row have made her look like one of sixty years. If tet free to-morrow, she would shrink from the public like a frightened child, aud tho merry shouts of happy children would fall upon her sore heart like clods on a coflin. It was not so hard to bear until she begau to hope. For years her face was pale and resolute, and the flash of her eyus proved that she had determined to live on, and make no sign while waiting for death. Now that there is hope, she trembles like a leaf when a strange step sounds ou the stairs. Hope aud despair fill her heart by turns, and she is fast wearing away. 'Yet her cell is one of the cosiest on tlie corridor. Sitting at a mending table at the head of the laundry room was Rosa Schweistahl, a woman now sixty-five years old. She was convicted of husband-poisoning, and the sentence was for life. Ten long years have rolled away since the prison door first shut behind her, aud she will not have to stay another ten. Gray-haired and trembling, she knows that death will soon come to set her free. There are tears in her eyes as she looks up, but no ray of hope dashes across her face at the sound of the new footstep. She is not hoping for a pardon. If one were grauted to her sho might not be able to find kith or kin to give her a corner until her hours were numj bered. It would give her liberty aud sunshine and new scenes,, but what are those privileges worth to a trembliug and penniless old woman, who might die by the roadside before her pardon was a week old ? There is more sympathy for her because she is so old. She pleaded guilty when arraigned for trial, and she neither defended nor protested. Ten dreary, dismal, slow-passing years have been tolled off ou Time's far-sounding bell, and her sentence is not ended only nearer the last day. : Her heart has been pierced again and agaiu by the stings of conscience, and many a iiight, when deep silence reigned th'rouuhout the corridor, the sentinel has caught her whispered words 'God has forgiven me, but man will not !" The end may not come this year nor next, out is not far awav. Some mom ing when her cell door is thrown open siie win seem to sleep on. Home one will call her name, aud bend over her. aud then the word will pass through the prison mat " grandma is dead. Less than a year ago Julia Cargin was a coutented wife and a happy mother, hav ing all the comforts of a home and as clear a conscience as any other woman in the land. Yesterday, when our reporter saw her in the sewintr room at the house of correction, her face was haggard, her cjvs sniiKeu, her hair turning gray, and her forty years of life seemed to have doubled in a few brief months. She came to Michigan with her husband to visit a friend named Smith. The home of tho Smiths was not pleasant. While she had considerable property in her own name, he had none, and was not anxious to accumulate any. Mrs. Smith had been thinkincr of se eming a divorce, and had brooded over her situation until it seemed far worse than it really was. Soon after tho Uargms arrived, Smith and his wifo had some hard words, aud as ho left the house the wife cried out : "I would to God that he was out of the world 1" Before she had time to retract or re pent, the Gargins offered to put her husband out of tho way. If. before tho awful crime was actually committed, the" who repeuieii m ine least sue gave her victim no warning. In the dead of night she crept away from his side and retreated to a distant room, and the Cragins crept in and murdered him as he slept. (July a wife with the heart of a fiend or the mind of a lunatic could have drawn away in the darkness, and lis tened to tho murderous blows, and waited to be told that her husband was dead. They carried the body to the barn, along with the bedding, scraped the stains from the floor and walls, and then set fire to the barn to burn up all evidence. The plan, however, was not successful. The flames were subdued by the neighbors before they had de stroyed the fatal proofs, and arrest, tria1. and sentence followed. The Cargin a were sent for life, the husband going to Jackson. Mrs. Smith, who only helped to plan, was given a sentence of fifteen years. Both women were sentenced at the same time and arrived at the prison together. Their cells are side by side. aud a hundred times a day they look into each other's face, shudder at the past. and refrain from speaking a word that may call up it in a stronger light. Both have children. The murderess left two behind her, and the plotter three, the youngest hardly three years old. They do not accuse each other, as one would expect them to do. They never speak of their children to each other. When their eyes meet they remember the awful deed committed that night, and they turn from pale, haggard faces to walls aud bars. The Cargiu woman could not answer questions yesterday. A look and word broke her down so that she could not speak. The wife of the murdered man sat down and tried to tell her story, aud it was painful to see what a wreck she had become. She could not remember how her husband was killed, or what the witnesses against her testified, or what j defense the Uarguis had. " I got up and went nvrnv- from him. and then somebody killed him," she gaspingly explained! 8he seemed hard and coM nt first. and one would have said that she had an evil face, but the mention of her children melted her in an instant and Ret her to sobbing. When asked about her two eldest children, she travo their where abouts; but when the name of the young est was mentioned she threw np her arms and sobbed out: My baby! Oh. my baby Why don't they let me see him just once more ?" They took the little bov from her arms when they led her away to jail. Ho clung tightly to her neck, his innocent heart knowing nothing of her awful crime, and every day since her long sentence began he has looked into the faces of strangers, and tearfullv and r.iti- fully nsked: Whero s mamma? When will mam. ma come homo ?" The two older ones went nuietlvawav from her, dimly realizing that a 'happy home was forever broken up, and that the whispers of men and women around them of a horrible murder implicated the mother who had snug them to sleep and taught them to pray. The baby cluug to her just the same, aud its name has only to be mentioned to wring her very soul with grief. TtlE PUBLIC DEBT. Ifcrrrnar of Nearly Four Million In AuaiiM.

A Little AVulk to Church. ' A good story is told by the Troy (ti. x.) J'rcnn at the expense of lion Neil Oilmour, superintendent of the State department of public instruction, who has been visiting his parents in Scotland. On the first Sunday at home, his mother, who is nearly eighty years of age, invited him to attend church with her. He accepted and proposed to get a carriage, which offer his mother declined, informing him that she always walked to church. The dutiful son could do no less than follow the example of his good mother, and so they started for the church. After walking what seemed a reasonable distance and seeing no church the uneasy official asked how far the church mifiht be, and was somewhat astonished to learn that it was only four miles a war.
