| the little niggars set on their launches, grin
ming with pleasure and waiting for SUNRISE
All nature, 10 fine, was in a swee, repose. Sud
denly the spell was broken. The sound Of a
horn was heard fiom the dIs'au, hills, stari ne
the quiet citizens Of Bluefelds from their slum
bers. The signal was answered from every hill
and rivuet in the vicinity. The sounds were
followed by the barking Of dogs, screeching OF
parrots and bleaing Of goats, and all the discof-
dant sounds known on earth seemed mingled
together in sweet confusion. The martial mu-
sic approached nearer anf nearer, and increas.

sent at The royal marriage. 10 few moments
about three hundred half naked Indians made
their appearance at the main entrance that leads
TO the palace. The Princess had arisen from
her couch OF tiger skins. and was standing 10
the main gate Of the palace, barefooed and de-
vouriDg a raw plantain.
The King soon made his appearance and ad-
dressed his subjects in the following eloquent
language: "Me big King. My sister GO mar

Indian. Cussed shame. i drown myself"-
HIS majesty could say no more. Overcome
with grief, he entered the palace, threw himself
upon a pile Of dried hides, and there relieved
the anguish of his soul by giving vent to food
Of tears "Wohn said his majesty, "ef me,
big King, feel so much bad cos my sister mar

The royal palace was tastefully decorated
with highly scented hides. Every preparation

On the middle finger of her right hand she
wore rich and costly tin ring made from a

Princess was terrified, but lucky thought
struck her. "Jim," said she. "bimeby my

had their effect. Jim threw his arms around
