TRISTAN ISLANDS.
FACT AND ROMANO OF TUB MOST UN
KNOWN SPOT OF EARTH,
Thirteen hundred milet south of SL
Helena, and fifteen hundred miles west
of the Capo ot Good Hope, and nearly
on a line between tbe Cape of Good
IIopo and Cape Horn, lies Tristan De
Cutiha, or Trisdian D'Acunba, a clus
ter of three volcanic inlands, the larg
est of which gives the name to the
group. The other two aro. the Inac
cessible Island and tbe Nightingale Is
land. The group received it name
from a Portugese navigator, who dis
covered it in 160S. Inaccessible Is
lands lies about eighteen miles south
west from Tristan, and Nightingale Is
land twenty miles south. The largest
island is the only oiks permanently in
habited, and -probably 4.tiuMt iso
lated and remote ol til tho abodes of
men. It is nearly circular, and con
tains about forty squsie miles. On the
north side it rises abriptly to an eleva
tion of about a thousand feet, and from
tbe summit of the cliffs the land rise
to a conical peak, 8,326 leet high. The
Burface consist of abnpt ridge cover
ed wilb bushes, with 4eup ravines and
chasms between. Tie Summit is a
crater five hundred yards wide, and fill
ed with water. - On the northwest side
of the island i.t a narrow plain, some
hundred and fifty feet above tho level
ot the sea, with excellent soil, and in a
high stato of cultivation. Hero lives
the famous (ilas colony.
There bad beon residents on the
island off and on at various timos, be
ginning in 1790 when Cupt. Patten,
Irom Philadelphia, settled there for six
months. When Napoleon was confin
ed at St. Helena in 1817, tho British
took possession of tho island, and main
taineii a guard there. ' The next year
the guard was withdrawn, but a cor
poral of artillery, by the name of Gloss,
with his wife and two soldiers who
woro induced to join him wore allowed
to remain. Since thul time the island
has been constantly inhabited. In 1823
the littlo settlement numbered seven
teen persons, of whom three weru wo
men. Six year later Cant. Morrell
visited the island in the U. 8. ship Ant
arctic, and the colony comprised then
twunty seven families, and they were
able to supply passing ships with bul
locks, cows, sheep and pigs and fresh
vegetables and milk in any quantity.
In 1830 there wa a population of forty-two
on tho island, and in 1862 Capt.
Dctiham visited tho group of islands
and Tristan's population then number
ed eighty-five. He described "the
young men and young women as par
taking of tho mulatto casto, wives of
the first settlers being natives ot Cupe
ot Good Hope and St. Helena, but the
children ot the second generation he
would terra handsome brunetts, of a
strikingly fine figure." Betbre Capt.
Denham'e visit tbe great majority of
ihe population bad been males, but as
unto went on, and a new generation
sprang up, tho young men in the ad
venturous spirit of life found their is
land home quiet, and they had depar
ted, seeking more stirring wcupation
elsewhere. Accordingly, in 1862, the
women were considerably in tbe ma
jority.
jtioss bas long beio ine lino oi gov
ernor. Ho was a Scotchman, and
seems to have been a man of sound
principle, of great energy and industry,
and to have acquired in a remarkable
degree tbe confidence of tho little com
munity. Their minister, Mr. Taylor,
wrote an account of the little society,
wbieh was published in I860. . lie
spoke in the highest terms of the mor
al character of his flock, going so far
as to say that be could find no vice to
contend with. They had no formal
government, and as they bad no rum,
government wa less needed. What
ever disputes tbey had were settled by
fisticuffs, with by-sianders present to
secure fair play. Gov. Glass died in
1863, tbe year aftor Copt. Donhnm's
visit, and was succeeded by a sort of
tacit consent, by Green wbo bad mar
ried one ol Glass' duughtors. In 18(i7,
the Duke of Edinburg visited Tristan,
in the Galatea, and in honor of his roy
al bigbness, the chief settlement was
named. Sixteen children had been
born since the departure of Mr. Taylor,
and the colony, instead of dying out, as
Mr. Taylor feared, bad taken a now
start, the population having increased
from forty seven to eighty-six, which
seems to be about tho normal figure.
In 1870, the island had a population of
sixty, of which thirty-five were chil
dren under tun years of ago.
In his "Voyage ol the Challengor,"
Sir Wyville Thompson describes a vis
it be made to this interesting colony.
It consisted at that time (October,
1873,) of eighty-four persons, in fifteen
tumilies, the lemalet being slightly in
the mujority. He speaks of the young
men as tine looking and sturdy, some
what of the English iyie, but most of
ihom with a dash of dark blood. Green
was still the governor, and tbey look
ed up to him with respect and confi
dence. They possess from 600 to 600
head ot cattle, an equal numberol sheen
and pigs, and poultry in large abund
ance From eight to a dozen Ameri
can ship visit them yearly, and Irom
lliem they obtain what llioy want, by
tbn process of barter. They live in
cjttuge of two or tiireo rooms, built of
a dark brown tufaccou stone, which
they blast from tbe rocks above, and
shapo with great accuracy with axes.
Many of the blocks are upward of a
ton in weight, and as there ia no lime
on the island, llioy bavo to be fitted in
lo each other on the Byclopeun plun.
, But with all their precautions, the
wind aro so violent that sometimes
even these massivedwellinas are blown
down. The furniture of iho rooms is
scanty, owing to the difficulty of pro
curing wood, but passing ships turnlsh
them warm fabrics enough tn supply
badding. and to ensble the women to
dress in a comfortable and seemly tty I.
Low stone walls partition tuo land
round tbe cottages into small cnelos

and hero all the ordinary European

sionally resorted to. Sir W. Thomp

Mr. Thompson tells, in connection
with tbe history of this colony, tbe in
teresting story ot two Germans, the
brothers Frederick a.id Gustav Stolten
hoff. After the war of 1810, Gustav
shipped in an English ship for Rangoon.
When seven hundred mile from Tris
tan the ship caught fire and exploded.
Gustav was on a boat tbat reached
Tristan. Ho remained there for eigh
teen days, and was so much pleased
with bia treatment tbat on bit return
to Germany be indticod his brother lo
go back with him to his "home by the
soundingsea." On their way out, how
over, by advice of the captain of the
ship in which tbey bad taken passage,
tbey decided to go to Inaccessible Is
land. There they are landed on the
27th of November, 1871. A quarter of
an hour afterward the wbalur depart
ed, and they wore left alone, the only
inhabitants of one of tbe most remote
spots on tho face of the globe. Tbey
remained tbero for two years, or until
they wore tukon off by the Challengor.
The story of their life on the lonely
island reads like a chapter from Robin
son Crusoe.
THE "PATENT FLO VS."
The terrible calamity which has
just bappenod to the great flouring in
dustry ol Minneapolis leads an ex
change to describe, incidentally, the
method of manufacturing what is call
ed the "new process" flour which has
recently become so popular. It says :
Tho demand for tho patent "new pro
cess flour" has, ever since its introduc
tion, been so great tbat tbe mills have
lound it difficult to meet their calls,
even at tbe higher price asked for it.
Almost everybody knows ot tbo flour,
hut not everyone understands what it
it. Stripped of technicalities, this is
perhaps about tbe story of its manu
facture. The best flour used to bo made of
winter wheat. Spring wheat yielded
either much less in quantity or else so
much ol tbe bran got into tbe flour in
its munufucturo that its color was in
tolerably dark. The wheal would bo
ground and then bolted. In the re
fusethe bran and middlings would
be included a large proportion of the
weight of the spring wheat, and this
would sell more particularly for horses.
Now the best flour, and the moat ex
pensive, is made out of this refuse cf
the old-tusbioncd process. It all came
out ot tbo discovery of the way to
draw out the bran, i nner tne now
process iho wheat is ground about aa
bolore. Tbe first rosull is an ordinary
flour sold for exportation. Then tbe
remainder is taken and put upon great
horizontal sieves, and, while sgitation
is going on there, an ingenious system
of drafts, rushing np through, carries
off tbe bran. What is left is the glut
inous portion of tbe wheat, tbe most
nutritious and nmst productive, and
out of this, purified now by the draw
ing oft ol the Dran, we get our new
process flour. Tbo result of the dis
covery of tho process bos been to raako
tbe poor spring wbcat 01 Minnesota
and upper Wisconsin the most valua
ble kind of grain, and to make tb for
tune of the inventor of tbe method.
They have built up at Minneapolis im
mense mills. In tbe great one, where
the trouble began, there were forty-
one run of alone, and tba mill with
one exception, was tbe largest in tbe
world. It was the largest in America.

PREREQUISITES OF SUCCESS.
Integrity of character and truth in
the inner man aro the prerequisite nt
success in any calling, and especially
so in tbat of tbe merchant' These are
attributes which never fail to command
respect and win admiration. No one
fails to appreciate them, and if they
"do not pay" in the vulgar sense of
the phrase, they bring an amount of
salislaotion and peace to th owner
Ibat all tbe wealth ot Croesus could not
yield.
Tbero I no bolter siocK in trtao
than in principles ; no capital goo to

from bankruptcy and loss. When
known, they give credit and confl-i

elements of success, and defend them

CHURCH SCANDALS.
.
It seems that Satan ia bent on bring
ing grist to the mill ol tho scoffer Col.
Ingersoll. In Jorsy City a clergyman
is on trial for the attempted murder of
hit wile by poison, and tbe evidence
goes far to establish tho truth of the
charge It be were not a clergyman,
out only a wonuiy man, me eTiuenoe
would generally bo considered crush
ing; and it would be held to show
that not one merely but repeated doses
ot tartar emetio were given with in
tent to kill. Across tbe river, over in
Brooklyn, there is another scandal in
Plymouth chureb, more abominable in
its detail than even the groat one tbat
made that congregation to notorious.
ttev. Ur.Smttb, an assistant in cbarge
of the Plymouth Buthel, bas involved
bimaelt in an allair which bos beon
brought to light by the confession of
the woman, and tbat confession sup
ported by documentary evidence in
itev. Mr. Smith t handwriting, tbat Car
rie conviction to any unbiased mind.
These two scandals are bad enough in
themselves, but tbey ere made worse
by tho unwise devotion of the congre
gations. 1 boso "stand by tbeir pas
tor and present tbo unbappy specta
cle of seeming to justify them in the
perpetration ol gross immoralities.
The evidence in both cases, though not
conclusive, is certainly sufficient to
shift the burdon of proof upon tho ac
cused and require bim to prove his in
nocence, oo strong is tbe chain ol tea-
timony that tbe world believes in the
guilt, and thus places those congrcga
lions in tho most odious position.
Doubtless tbe devotion ot a flock to a
well-beloved pastor is a beautiful sight.
That they should feel disposed to cling
to bim in bis adversity, to sustain and
sootho him nnder bis sufferings, is com
mendable; tbat tboy should refuse to
believe in his guilt as long as belief in
his innocence is possible, is well. But
it ought to be always present in tbe
minds of a congregation, that they have
duties to their faith, and to the dignity
and purity of their church that arc far
higher than their duties to tbeir pas
tor. Tbut not for tho sake ot tho best
beloved pastor in the world should they
suffer reproach or. stain to come upon
their church. Its pastor should not
only be beyond roproach but beyond
suspicion ; and it would be far butter
to err on the sido ot strictness and se
verity in tbeir judgments upon minis
ters of the gospel than to give the Bob
Ingersolls a pretext tor snooting out
the tongue, wugging tho hood and say
ing, Ahal in derision ol lbs morality ol

THE MASSACRE" AT WYOMING.
PREPARATION TO CELEBRATE ITS ONE
BUNURETR ANNIVER8ART ON JULY .
THIRD AND FOURTH THE STO
RY OF THE BATTLE AND
MASSACRE.
A correspondent of a New York pa
per write as follows Irom Scranton,
Penn'a I
The elaborate preparations in pro
gress among the people of Pennsylva
nia for a centennial commemoration of
the battle and massacre of Wyoming,
recall one of the most thrilling inci
dents of the Revolution. The name
ot Wyoming and its history bare ob
tained a world-wide fame, and natur
ally the thousand who have been
stirred by the recital of its woes, will
i- . - r . i t
teei an interest in tue luriiicuuuiig
celebration, which will occur on the
3d and 4th of July next, th first be
ing the data of tbe battle and massa
cre. The preparations for tbe demon
stration were begun on tbe ninety
ninth annivorsary of tbe event, when
anumber of the descendants ot the
gallant yeomen who fought and tell
met and organized an Influential asso
ciation, with sub-committees icatlered
throughout tbe valloy to attend to the
details. Tbe heartiness with which
thoy entered upon tbeir work and the
enthusiasm with which tho public
have seconded their efforts, warrant
the hope that the affair will be wor
thy of tb occasion which it it design-
cd to honor.
The invasion of the valley was ac
complished on the 3d of July, 1778,
when a number of British soldier,
commanded by Col. Jobn Butler, and
accompanied by 700 Indians, led by
the cruul balf.hreed, Brant, or Gi-en-gwah
toh, descended npon the de
fenceless settlement. They were mot
by a lew companies of old men and
boys, whose extremo age and youth
bad exompvoa- mem irom service in
the distant ranks of the Republic, and
for several hours a fierce battle raged
on ' tbo banks ot tho Susquehanna.
But the contest was unequal. The In
dians from their ambush, kept up a
deadly flank fire, which soon thinned
Ibe ranks ol lb yeomen, and, utterly
shattered, tbey wore forced to fall
back, despite the appeals of thoii cour
ageous loador, Colonel Zubulon Butlor,
who cried, "Don I leave me, my cnu-
dron, and the day is our." The In
dians, seeing tbeir foes retreat, fell
upon them and slaughtered without
mercy, men, women and children.
When tho six .Nations ospousud lue
English cause against the Colonies it
wss part of the oompaot that the lat
ter should load them against Wyoming,
to afford tbem an opportunity ot be
ing avenged upon the settlers, whom
they regarded as tbe usurpers of the
red man' paradise, a name sometimes
given to tbe valley ; and so, ths first
skirmish being over, the Indians gave
lull scop to tho spirit or destruction
wbicb possessed tbom, and, breaking
away from their leaders, they reaped
a terrible revenge npon tne genue
people of that Arcadian abode. About
three hundred were put to death witb
torch, tomahawk and spear, regard
less of age or sex, and the moat cruel
tortures that a fiendish spiritconld do
vis were employed to anak th last
lingering moments of tbeir victims full
of agony. An awful night followed
that dav of carnage. Tbo but and
homes, th crop and orchards, wera
ael on fire, and to devastation of lb
entire auttlcmeDl wa mad complete.
Several wera drowned in their efforts
lo escape down tbo river nnder the
cover oi night, out a party ot a Hun
dred women aud children succeeded
in making their way to th mountain,
under tb leadership ol on old man,
wbo was thir ol protector. But
thoagb they fled tba terror of lb
massacre, it wa to encounter hard

and tbe olague which overtook them

months, until a detachment of soldiers
gathered them together one night and
consigned them to a large hole in the
ground, learlul lost a more respectful
interment might excite tbe enmity of
the Indians, wbo Were still prowling
about the neighborhood. The result
was that tbe exact location of the re
mains was unknown to tba friends ot
Ibe dead for many years, and thoir
discovery at last was a more accidunt.
An unassuming obelisk commomora
tive of tbo virtues of tbe fallen beroos

eral years engaged in gathering into
pormanent cemeteries ths bodies of
Union soldiers wbo were killed in bat
tle or who died in hospitals or rebel
prisons. By the official reports the
total number interred throughout the '
United Stato is 816,233. Of these
only 176,704, or about live-ninths ol
the whole number, can probably over
be identified. Even those figures do
not cover tbe whole number wbo lost
their live in tho war of tbe rebellion,
tor, owing to tbe vast area covered by
the operation ol the hostile armios,
many bodies loft on the field of battle,
in skirmishes in woods and in isolated
encounters ol pickets and reconooiter
ing and scouting parties, have probably
never beon discovered. It is difficult
to form any estimate of tbe number, all
traco of whose remains have thus been
lost, but it is without doubt considera
ble. Most of tbe scattered heroes, un
known to fame though great in deeds,
wbo yet lie hidden in forest field or
pen, will now remain in Nature's green
keeping until the resurrection morn.
Ol tbe grand tout 36,808 are known
to bave been prisoners of war, who
died in captivity, and Ibis doc not in
clude tbe whole number wbo died
while held by the rebels, for it is thought
that numbers of those who died in tbe
prison pons ol the South have not been
found or identified. Of rebel prisoners
of war the remains of 21,336 have been
interred. Untbrtunately etatisics to
show the amount of mortality on tbo
rebel side are very meagre. It is not
probuble the rebel loss will ever b
known with anytbinglike the accuracy
with which we can reckon that on th
National side ; but, assuming tbem lo
bo equal, it will be seen ibat the entire
loss to the whole country in human
lives during the war of the rebellion
must amount to nearly three-quarters
of a million. Besides 72 National cem
eteries, the Union dead are scattered
n 320 local and post cemeteries. The
largest of these are at Arlington, Va ,
the former homestead ot Gen. Robert
E. Lee, wilb 16,647 graves; Fredericks
burg, Va., with 16,300 graves ; Salis
bury, N. O., with 12,112 graves;
Beaufort, S. C, with 10,000 graves ;
Andersonville, Ga., 13,706 graves; Ma
rietta, (ia., 10,000 graves; New Orleans,
La., 12,230 graves ; Vicksburg, Miss.,
17,012 graves ; Chattanooga, Tenn.,
12 904 graves ; Nashville, Tenn., 16,-
629 graves ; Memphis, Tenn., 13,968
graves; Jefferson Barracks, Mo., 8,601
grave.
The Gettysburg National Cemetery
embraces an area ot about seventeen
acres, covering the contre of the Union
lino of battle on tbe 2d and 3d of July,
1803, and occupying ono of tbo moat
prominent and important positions on
ibe field. This is one of tba most in
complete of tbe National cemeteries
and contains 3,612 graves, ol whom
979 are unknown. Thoso figures do
not, however, by any means show the
Union loss in the engagement, for the
greater part of the woundod were re
moved to Baltimore, Washington, An
napolis and Philadclphian, and many
of the slain bave been taken away by
inoir inonas.
The cemetery at Antiotam contains
4,695 graves, 2,903 of which are un
known. In addition to tbe bodies ol
1,476 who fell at Antiotam, tbe remains
of the United States soldiers scattered
on the battle fields of Monocacy, South
Mountain, and those buried at Harper s
Ferry and Cumberland, Md., bave been
gathered here. The National ceme
tery at Richmond, Va., two miles from
tbe city, on the Williamsburg road, Just
wilhiu tbo line of the rebel fortifica
tions, contains an unusually largo pro
portion of unknown graves. Out ol
6.276, aa many as 5,459 are unknown.
Tboy are mostly deceased prisoners of
war from Belle Isle, Libby Prison, Cas
tle Thunder, and olher prison pens at
the former rebel Capital. Salisbury
National Cemetery contains 12,112
bodies of Union soldier wbo died while
confined in Salisbury prison. At Dan
ville, Vs., llillen, Us., Uuipepper Court
House, Va., Winchester, Va., Cold Har
bor, Va., Fort Harrison, Va., Elendale,
Va., Raleigh, N. C, Wilmington, M. O,
Knaulort S. C. Lookout Mountain.
Tenn., Corinth,. Miss., Sbilob, Tenn.,
Cbalmette, La., and olher points in tb
country in which military operation
were carried on daring tbe war, tbere
are National cemeteries containing the
known and unknown dead gathered
from the battle-fields in the vicinity.
These cemeteries, generally, aro well
cared for. Pains are taken to keep
them sodded ; to plsot ornamental
trees, and beautify them in various
ways. Thus sleep our lirave. "lhank

THE SOCIAL WEA VER.
Tbe social weaving bird ol tbe Or
ange Rivor region of Southern Africa
is too remarkable a member of this fam
ily to be passed unnoticed, though it
extraordinary structure bas often beon
described by African travelers. It not
only builds in companies, as do most
of the family, but always associates in
colonics of many individuals, wbo con
struct tueir nests under a common roor
of tbeir own building. When one of
those structures is first begun in tbe
selected placo, tbo community imme
diately proceed to construct togeth
er tbe general covering which is to
shelter them all. This thatch is made
of a coarse, strong fibre of Bushman's
grass. Ibis being completed, each
pair begin to form their own separate
nest, of tbo same material to tbe roof.
Th nests are plaoed olose together,
sido by side against tbe under surface
of the goneral covering, and, when an
are comploted, tbe lower surface ex
hibits an even horizontal celling, per
forated with small circular openings.
With each breeding lesson fresh nest
aro formed upon the lowor surface of
thoso of tbe proceeding year. In this
manner, year after year tbey add to
the mass, until at last It excessive
weight causes tb destruction of lb
wholo, and a now sits has to be chosen.
Tbe roof is usually firmly intorwoven
with the branches ol a largo tree, and
often the principal limbs ar included
