120 Ike Jamilg GLEANINGS FROM THE FOREIGN MIS* SIONARY FIELDS. 42—Violence and Wrong are in Their Hands. Exod. 20: 15—“ Thou Shalt not Steal. " The first missionaries to New Zealand had serious difficulties on account of the thievish and murderous disposition of the inhabitants. They built houses, but with difficulty could keep them from being burned down by the savagds. They planted gardens, but more than once their plantations were destroyed by the frenzied heathens. Often they were compelled to witness a wM&orde press into their dwellings, devouring everything eata ble and breaking to pieces or carrying off every article of fqrnifure they contained., EVery hour of the night thieves would break; onto their houses and strip them of every thing. Not seldom they| camei, in front of the dwellings of these mesaengiffis of peace - hurled a perfect storm W%teSds a|ainst; them; stole away cattle and poultry,:tore' down the hedges and then departedwith wild outcries. Of a similar character was ..■the experience of the missionaries Hamilton and Moffat in settling among the Bechuanas.; They worked with their own hands day and •night to procure; the means of living; hut the Bechuanas not seldom,feou}.3.*ppropriate to themselves what built, j Often they had. to watcunyajilght if they! wanted a drop of water or a morsel of food • for the next day. How often the little hut; y-as so full of these filthy heathens that one .could scarcely move. There they stayed for hours at a time, laid down to sleep when they pleased or openly, stole what they saw. Scarcely ever was in the kit chen but the heathen opportunity to rob the house. home hun gry he often found tha% everything had been devoured by the thieves. “ Besides this ” writes Moffat .at that time, “we pray, talk, preach, without a glimpse of good. 0 when will the day-star arise in their hearts.” 43—The Thugs oe India. Ji;a. 20: 13 —Sinff to the Lord / praise ye the name ■of the Lord, for Me hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of the evildoers. In Hindostan there exists a band of semi religious robbers and murderers, Who are or ganized as a society, who seek the company of some harmless traveler, and at a suitable moment throw a cord ar,ound his neck and very skillfully strangle him. These murde rous thieves'are called Thugs. The follow ing is an account of an escape from their blood-thirsty hands which might almost be rewarded as miraculous. ftlohan, born in a small place near Meerut, was at an earlier date a pilgrim; As such he had visited, all the temples on the west era coast of India, and now started off again to visit Oude, the city of the divine Rama. In a little town .not far from Lucknow, he met with a man who at first sight had the appearance of a pious penitent. Our pil grim, who had a high /respect for holy per sons, made him rich presents to secure to himself some of his store of merit. There upon the penitent gratefully offered to con duct him to bis lord and master, a mighty saint who, surrounded by his followers, had pitched his camp in a lonely wood, far from the noise of the world, not vouchsafing to every one the edifying view of his counte nance or his instructive conversation. Mo ha a was enchanted with this exceedingly kind invitation, and walked many miles with him to the woods.✓ They reached them at nightfall; an impenetrable thicket surround ed them. As Mohan looked around him for a moment his eyes rested upon a couple of new-made graves. He soon suspected what it all meant, and when next about fifty fel lows came by, and in a covert manner asked his companion, “ How have you succeeded; brother ?” all doubt was at an end. He had fallen into the hands of those murderous bunds who are the terror of the lonely trave ler in India. To run away however, was impossible; night had concealed everything in the deepest shadow, and a human habita tion was not to be found in a great distance. They compelled him reluctantly to make his bed in their very midst, and then proceeded with their evening worship which was per formed before Kali, that bloody goddess whom the Thugs have chosenfor their patron and. protectress. How did he feel when he heard the robbers, in a lan guage which he happened to understand, re turn thanks to the goddess for so graciously conducting another victim to them. Mohan had caught a severe cold, and, these men. of blood feigned the temderest sympathy with him. They even prepared him a medicinal drink and bid him try it. But the sick man knew better than to accept the poisonous po tion. At 10 o’clock they retired to rest.— Rut Mohan with his hand upon -a long hat chet which he always carried with him in his travels, remained in a sitting position, in a state of indescribable excitement. He had scarcely any clothing on, and the December nights in northern India, so near the snow covered heights of the Himalayas are not the warmest. Yet for all this the perspira tion rolled off of him in streams. After a time he heard a slight rustling in a neighboring thicket; it was as if some one was digging—a grave for him ! This con tinued half an hour, then a forih appeared from the thicket. “Have you made the bed?” said a voice from the midst of bis sleeping comrades : “Yes,” was the answer that pierced Mohan’s soul like a two-edged sword. , He sprang up and looked around hint, lis tening with strained attention. At length he saw a man creeping towards him, he was only distant a foot when Mohan swinging his axe thundered out, “*away, be off! or I will stretch you .upon the earth I” “I know ” he continued with a voice that trem bled with mortal fear, “ who you are and what you intend. Take my money and my clothes, but leave me my life.” So speaking he threw everything he had with him to the ground. But the other an swered with dreadful coolness, “ you need not get excited, we will have it all in good time.” With lifted axe the doomed man kept his place and bade them take possession of his goods as he had thrown them on the ground. But they stood as if disconcerted and urged each other to the attack. No one made the' attempt. “ Ho, there, cried the chief, “all togeiher! right upon him!” But not one stirred. A merciful God had Bmitten them ail with cowardice. As Mohan stood, so he remained all night long—with beating heart,. streaming with perspiration, his axe uplifted. Oh! what ii. straggle was meanwhile going on within Many.as were the temples he had already visited, he had found no peace for his con science—that trembling aspen }eaf! Now 100 lie intended a pilgrimage to the remain- ing places of salvation in the north, in the hope of finding there that peace for his trou bled and burdened soul. But here he was, with his plan unaccomplished upon the bor ders of the grave and eternity. Then arose, struggling from his bosom, earnest prayers, and still more earnest sighs to The Un known God. At last, at last the ..dark night drew to a close. Twilight appeared—and in Mohan’s soul too there glimmered a twilight of hope for life, as he caught the sound of a keompa ny of traders passing by. But how should he make them aware of his desparate "condi tion 1 If he should raise a cry for help, the murderers who had him in their net, would b6 v emb|%ene’d|n|f : necessity to take. his life omthe infant. *-• * The sliff had already appeared above the horizon, for in India he . follows close upon the heels of day break. “ Now make short work&with him,!” exclaimed the blood the right eye. As he ffftjpSfpy right ne saw the well kno|rn “ silken TOnfcgrchiefiwith the noose ” descending upon his Heck. Jl ‘He had just time by throwing up his arm ; -to save his neck from the. cord, i But the noose fell upon his arm and cut like a sword deep into his flesh. Spurred on ; by" fear of imminent death he swung his axe on.high, with one blow levelled his assailant tofitlje ground, made a way through the rest; willi repeated strokes and hastened across neighboring ■Stream. Happ : ly he came upon a shallow place, while tiie: Thugs who pursued him fell into a deep swamp. Thus he escaped. His first course was to the chief officer of the neighboring village, to -make a charge against these miscreants. But whether it was that he feared them himself, or that he was a party to their proceedings he scarcely heard him. “ Are you in your senses ?” he replied contemptuously; “That holy man and his associate Thugs ? impossible.” It was only when Mohan threatened to appeal to the Nabob of Lucknow, at whose court he had an influential relative, that the alarmed official sent soldiers into the wood. They brought back to him his little property, and Mohan was allowed to go his way in peace. A pilgrim’s life was now robbed of all its charms to the good Mohan. He dedicated himself to the true God, who had heard his cries and saved him from the noose of the, destroyes. THE KINGDOM OF UGANDA. , [Captains Speke and Grant having re turned in safety from their African explora tions are receiving the honors they have earned at the hand of their countrymen. As special meeting of the R.G.S, was held June 23d at which Captain Speke delivered a lec ture on his discoveries. We‘make the fol lowing extract:] On the most fertile part of the shores of Lake Nyanza is the kingdom of Uganda, which is the'most .interesting of all the na tions of equatorial Africa, being better culti vated and better governed than any other. The customs of Uganda are many of them most irregular. The princes having large harems of women, their progeny is, of course, most numerous. When a king dies all his sons are burnt except his successor and two others, who are kept in case of accident un til the coronation, after which one is pen sioned off and the other banished to Unyoro. Untidiness in dress is a capital crime, ex cept the offender possesses sufficient- riches to pay an enormous fine. Ingratitude, or even neglecting to thank a person for a ben efit conferred, is punishable. The Court customs are also curious. No one is allowed to stand before tbe.King, and to touch him or look at one. of his women is death. They believe implieity in magic and the evil eye, and the kings are always attended by a cer tain number of women crowned with dead lizards, and bearing bowls of plantain wine in their hands. The King of Karagwe is the most, civilized of all '.these native chiefs; before entering Uganda, Captain Speke spent many days with him. In manners, civility, and enlightenment he might be com pared with many Europeans. He owes much of this to the influence of an Indian merchant, named Moussa Mzouri, who helped him by his advice to conquer his brother, with whom he was at war. Captain Speke was much entertained with many of his ques tions as to what became of the old suns, and why the moon made faces at the earth. He also wanted to know whether England, of which he had heard from the ivory traders, could blow up the whole of Africa with gun powder. The moment the king heard that he was desirous of going north he sent mes sengers to the King of, Uganda to prepare the way for him. The King was most anxious to afford him every possible inform ation about the country. While at the pal ace the King took him yachting on Murchi son Creek for several days, and he frequent ly went shooting with the princes ..of the Court, who, when he had shot anything, would rush up to and shake him heartily by the hand—a custom little known in that part of Africa. Before leaving, they had heard from the King Kamrasi that a bbdy of white men had been seen to the north, who had killed numbers of the natives with a Wonderful gun. This made Captain Speke most anxious to push on, as he snpposed the party of white men to be that of Mr. Pethe rick, who had appointed to meet him. He then started for Uganda, with a numerous retinue. Before leaving King Rumanika’s palace at Karagwe he had noticed on several occasions three or four lofty mountain peaks, more than 10,000 feet high. The King of Uganda sent an armed body of men to meet him, who conducted him through the king dom. Everywhere they vfent the people left their huts, leaving their provisions behind them. The fertility of this part is very great,, and the scenery on the shores of % the lake most beautiful. On arriving at the King of Uganda’s capital Captain Speke found it ne cessary tq wrap up all his presents m chintz before sending them to the King, as nothing bare or naked could be looked at by his Ma jesty. He found the palace to consist of -hundreds of conical tents, spread*, over the spur of a hill. Thousands of courtiers and attendants were to be seen engaged in every conceivable occupation, from playing on mu sical instruments to feeding the royal chick ens. On sending word to the King that he wished for an interview, that monarch sent back a sharp message that he was to sit on the ground and wait until he was at liberty. Captain Spieke, however, sent back word that he was a Prince, and not accustomed either to sit on the ground or to wait. A courtier followed him, prophesying all kinds of evil from his presumption. Captain Speke, how ever, termed the whole court, King and all,, into submission by merely, opening His um brella, which they took to be a deadly wea- ftcjs>niM « pon, killing by magic. A chair was conse quently allowed to Captain Speke, who was received by the King surrounded by his Court, and having by his side the women crowned with dead lizards to ward off the effects of the evil eye. The King stared at him for about an hour, at the end of which timehisMajesty said, “ Have you seen me?” and retired to another tent, where the same process of staring was followed by a similar inquiry. The King went into a third tent, and Captain Speke followed. This time, however, the monarch deigned to examine Captain Speke’s Whitworth rifle. Captain Speke told him that it was the custom of the inhabitants of the country of which he was a prince to make presents of everything that they possessed to any King into lUiose coun try they entered. He accordingly left him, several rifles and watches, and a quantity of gunpowder. He endeavored to engage his Majesty in conversation about Petherick’s party, and the possibility of opening trade through the north.. It was a long time; how ever, before he gained his confidence. On leaving, the King presented him with nume rous very valuable presents. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES IN ENGLAND. There is nothing more illustrative of the growth of the social life of England than the system,of weights and measures now in use. It is a huge tree, which has developed itself in the open air, under sunshine, wind, and. rain, untouched by the scissors of art, and unbiassed -by scientific culture. Nearly all the sovereign! and parliaments of Great Bri tain, from the Conquest to the present time, have tried to regulate and adjust this multi form product of ages ; but it ever escaped their grasp, rewarding all attempts to create uniformity by shooting up in more luxurious disorder. It was enacted in Magna Charta, that, “ there shall he through our rhalm one weight and one measure,” and the injunction was repeated by royal and legislative edicts innumerable, with the only ultimate effect that there are now at least % huifflred diffe rent weights and measures. Every county, gaay, every town and village in England, ’is happy in its particular standards of weight, capacity, and length. Slight' difference in the latitude and longitude af a place will de cide whether the measure called a bushel shall consist of one hundred and sixty-eight pounds, or seventy-three pounds, or eighty pounds, or seventy pounds, or sixty-three pounds, or only sixty pounds. The most universal article of consumption, wheat, is sold by the bushel of eight gallons at Saltash, in Cornwall, and of twenty stones at Dun dalk, in Leinster; it is sold, in towns near to each other, by the load of five quarters, by the load of five bushels, and by the load of three bushels; by the the load of four hun dred and eighty eight quarts at Stowmarket, in Suffolk, and of one hundred and forty four, quarts at Ulverston, in Lancashire. It is quite doubtful whether a so-called hundred weight shall eontain one hundred and twenty pounds or one hundred and twelve pounds. By custom, a hundredweight of pork at Bel fast is one hundred and twenty pounds; while at Cork it is one hundred and twelve pounds. The most popular of all measurements, the bushel, is fluctuating -from five quarters in some places to four hundred and eighty eight pounds in others, the quarter itself being an unsettled quantity, varying no less than from sixty pounds to four hundred and eightv. Nor is it even settled what is meant by Y a mile. The English mile is 1,760 yards; the Scotch mile! is one English mile and two hun dred and seventeen yards; and the Irish mile is one English mile and four hundred and eighty yards. As to the smaller standards of weight and length used in trade and com merce, they are almost endlessly diversified, A grocer subdivides his pounds by sixteen; a goldsmith by twelve,' twenty, and twenty four ; and an apothecary by twelve, eight, three, and twenty. Again, a firkin of butter is fifty-six pounds, and a firkin of soap sixty four pounds ; while a, barrel of soap is two hundred and fifty six pounds, but a barrel of gunpowder only one hundred and twelve pounds, A sack of flour is twenty stone, and a sack of coal fourteen stone, or two hundred and twenty-four pounds. ! But the little matter as to what the term “stone” means is not at all ,settled, for a stone of butcher’s meat or fish is eight pounds, a stone of cheese sixteen pouitds, a stone of glass five pounds, and a-stone of hemp thirty two pounds. In sum total, there seem to be almost as many different weights arid mea sures in this country as there are towns and villages and articles of commerce. THE PATRIOTIC BOYS OF HAGERSTOWN. The special Correspondent of the Press writing from Hagerstown, Md., gives the following incident showing that the spirit which animated the youth of ’76, still lives, in the boys of Maryland. 11 On Sunday, June 28th, about, noon, the rebel mail arriv ed from Richmond, in the charge of a ple thoric old gentleman, with red cheeks and black beaver. A news-boy was lustily cry ing, ‘ Bate Richmond papers— Express, En quirer, Dispatch —only twenty-five c.ents a piece,’ in front of the 'W’ashingtpn House. Nine: of our cavalry had stealthily approach ed, the to, wn, arid were now charging madly down the street. The venerable Waddilove urged his horse into a gallop; and begged the boys to show him a safe retreat. ‘Go up that lane, and you’ll come, out into a safe place,’ bawled an excited urchin. The mail agent went in, but found his .way disputed by a solid wall. No hope of 'retiring could be seen ; the Mail bag was thrown into an adjoining yard; but a fieree-looking trooper came along, and pricked him with his sword till he climbed the fence and had safely ‘ de livered the mail.’ ’ “ Let me mention the boys of Hagerstown. In the Revolution, we know that school-boys drilling with sticks on the ramparts of an old fort frightened, away over 1,000 British. In our own Wissahickon a boat load of Hessi ans were sunk by boys hurling large rocks on them from the- heights, p Hagerstown, the boys were the means of discomfitting some sixty rebel soldiers. One youth of six teen was very prominent in his activity to have the rebels captured, He seized a gun, and pointing, it at the breast of a cavalry man, said, ‘ Gome down from that horse, you rebel,’ and he came down. And many of the officers who permitted them to ride their horses to the water found their holsters empty when examined. I was shown up, wards of fifty revolvers thus taken from the rebels. Our nine men, with the aid of these boys, captured fifty-three men and the mail bags.” Gold may be beaten into leaves sf thin that two hundred; and eighty thousand would be ouly an inch thick.

H. “I had for several years a very troublesome humor in my face, which grew constantly worse until it dis figured-my features and became an intolerable afflic tion. I tried almost every thing a man could of both advice and medicine, but without any relief whatever, until I took your Sarsaparilla. It immediately made my face worse, as you told me it might for a time : but m a few weeks the new skin began to form under the blotches, and continued until my face is as smooth as any body's, and-I aim without any symptoms' of the disease that I know of.

From Harvey Siekler, Esq., the able editor of the Tunkhannoek Democrat, Pennsylvania. “Our only child, about three years of age, was at tacked by primpleß on Ms forehead. They rapidly spread until they formed a loathsome and virulentsore, wMeh covered his.faeej and actually blinded his eyes for some days. A skilful physician applied nitrate* of silver and other remedies, without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded Ms hands, lest with them he should tear open the festering and cor rupt wound which covered Ms whole face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began Syour Sarsaparilla, and applying the iodide of lotion, as you direct. The sore began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and was well when ,we had finished 1 the second. The child’s eyelashes, wMeh had come out, grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighbor hood, predicted that the. child must die.” Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dyspep sia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia, when caused by Scrofula in the system, are rapidly cured by this Ext.
