European nations have already appropriated about 0,500,000 of the 11,000.000 square miles of Africa, and as the great desert occupies 2,300,000 square miles, only about 2,500,000 square miles remain to be scrambled for. - - 7 Sho Nemoto, a Japanese student in the University of Vermont, gives some interesting Tacts abefut his country. .

Johnston says that he lias no doubt that his contribution to the Grand Army fund will be followed by that of other Ex-Confederates, and adds: "There was no animosity between Northern and Southern soldlersdur- Ingthewar. I remember three or four times when, under flags of truce, the opposing ranks rushed together and broke into fraternal groups. I never met a veteran of Sherman's army without pleasure. The ani mosity against the South was fo mented by ' politicians, not by veterans." Cremation is gaining ground slow ly but surely In New York City, and the crematory operated by the Uni ted States Cremation Company, at Fresh Pond, I., is now paying ex penses. Since the organization of the company in December, 1885, there have been 180 bodies inciner ated 129 males and 57 females. These were the bodies of people in all the different stations and em ployments of life, although the more intellectual occupations- are best represented, as a rule. Mer chants stand highest in number, pllyslclans second, and journalists third of those who have directed that their bodies be disposed of in this manner. The cremation of two sons of the King of Slam, which occurred at the end of February, was a cere mony of great magnificence. For fifteen days Bangkok was given up to revelry. No work was done, and such amusements as fireworks, illu minations and interminable dra matic performances were provided nightly and kept up till 2 or 3 o'clock a. m. The building in which the cremation was effected cost more than $250,000, and externally presented.the appearance of a pal ace of gold, so gorgeously was it or namented. Yet it was only a tem porary structure, and has since been taken down. Home' again. You will find us back in our old Quarters.

Bowdn' Sndden Death. ' It is with . great" - regret that we chronicle to-day the death of Capt. Joseph N. Bowdeh, one of the most highly esteemed presidents of this city. For some months past Capt, Bpwden had been invalided, suffer-ing-from a complication of diseases, chief among which was - Bright's disease. Lately he had seemed bet ter and hopes were being entertain ed of his ultimate recovery, but last evening, about 7 o'clock, while sit ting at the supper table in company with his motherland two sisters he was seized with a jivertigo : and fel, back in his chair and expired almost before any one could reach'his side.." Capt. Bpwden was about 45 years of age and had been in the employ of the W..C. & A. R. R. continuous ly since the close fof the war as a passenger conductor. He was prompt j faithful and efficient in thedischarge of his duties ahd courteous and con siderate to all. !i 1 !' ' He entered the .Confederate ser vice when a mere 1 1 boy and served faithfully and cheerfully through out the war. He was first a mem ber of Co I, 18th N. C. Regiment, when a mere lad of seventeen, and was with that regiment in its first fight at , Hanover Court Houses where he was severely wounded. He was afterwards transferred to the 10 regiment (artillery) and partici pated in the fights at Fort Fisher. He became a prisoner of war on the fall of that stronghold and was ta ken to Elmira where he was paroled a few months after at the close of the: war;and returned to his home. Capt. Bo wden had never married. His life-was devoted to the care of his widowed mother and sisters, to whom he was thoroughly devoted and who, God help them, are incon solable in their great loss. He was a man of varni and ardent impulses, with a heart which harbored none bat kindly thoughts, for others, of an integrity unquestioned and of a walk in life honorable and honest and upright in the sight of all men. For some time past he has been a member of Grace M. 'E. Church and died in full communion with that church. if A Treat In Store.
