ssAliens and Enc emies'' I'm the
DemOcratic Party.

The Washington Union peals out its anath-
emas against the opposers Of the Lecompton
Constitution, with severity which is quite
refreshing in this Republican Government -
The following paragraph from, that sheet Of
the i0tl. is worthy Of attention:
"We do not presume to sit in Judgment up
on the motives Of those Democrats who have
seen proper to oppose Mr.. Bschsnan's Kan
sas policy nsfdSws avrogats u ourselves
the right to read them out Of the party bee ause
Of such opposition. We, however, do not
hesitate to declare that the admission of Kan
sas into the Union under the Lecomp.on Con-
stitution is now the recognized and well de-
fined policy of the Democratic party; that il
is SO considered by very large majority OF
that party, both in and out of Congress and
that, whether It be made test Of party fealty
or not, those Democrats who oppose it are
warring upon vital measure of their party,
and 10 that extent, al least, must and will be
regarded and dealt with as aliens and ene-
mies.n
Here is fair warning, and the Register which
still pretends to be in the Democratic party
would do well to look out. As We have said
from the first, "Lecompton'' as ssthe recog-
nized and well defined policy Of the Demo-
cratic party" and is so far to be made ga
test" that those who oppose it are "to be
dealt with as aliens aud enemies" There is
no getting around this. Our private intelli-
gehce from Washington fully confirms it in
every particular. Those who refuse to GO
Lecompton are to be branded as traitors to the
Democracy and as ssalien enemies" Do ssths

An Encounter with Baboons.

The Baboon is large, misshapen creature.
too well known to need description here, but
still very numerous in KafFraria. They are
usually found in herds or troops together, va
rying in size and number, and if attacked or
molested, are very savage. A strange rencoun-
ter with one Of these troops once occurred to
the author. Whilst on an excursion to Perrie-
bush, about sixteen miles from King Williams
Town, he started from the village alone, FOR
the purpose Of visiting the saw-pits, which
were about mile or more towards the midst
Of the forests. Having reached these, and
formed Of ANAL rivulet at little distance
further on among the woods, forming sone
very picturesque cascades, and the banks of
which we're covered over with rare kind Of
flower. He therefore started clone upon a
ramble in search OF it, and succeeded atlength
after some little difficulty, in making it out
Seduced by the wild loveliness Of the scene,
he advanced further on, al the other side OF the
stream. along what is called Kafir path; but
soon getting off this, he became entangled in
head being so thick a. to exclude the sun, a
small pocke, compass was the only guide; and
whilst trying to adjust iris, he was salated by
volley Of broken sticks and berries from
overhead. Never dreaming Of such an attack
and not being able to see the slightest vestige
Of animals aesr. he still continued bis occupa-
lion, when second similar salute made him
gladly pocket his compass. and 60 towards the
low ground, in hopes Of finding the stream
This he soon reached, and, when on its bank,
more easily recovered the lost path. During
his perplexity, however, the clsttering over
head soon betrayed the assaiants to be large
body of baboons, whom he now thought. when
clear Of the thicket, he mig ht tease in his turn.
Accordingly he commenced throwing stones
at such as were within reach; when, instead Of
taking to flight, as he expected they would !,
to his great CONSERVATION he beheld from eve
ry tree near him, five or ten Of the great mis-
sbapen creatures swinging from branch to
branch, and making towards hiruself and the
ground. Having no gun and no whip with
him, he thought in full time to decamp, which
he immediately did, running faster, probably,
than he ever did before or since. and pursued
at full cry-if cry the dreadful noise could be
termed-by fifty OF sixty ugly, awkward wretch
es, that seemed to mock at the courage of their
adversary. At the saw-plts, however, they
sounded the halt, fearing that he would 6nd a
reinforcement there among the sawyers. But
this was not forthcoming, as they had gone to
the village. He therefore tried to increase his
speed, and finally succeeded in getting away
from them and back to Plerrie. glad to escape
so easily; and his face and hands telling plain
ly there. whether he had been following after
the beautiful or the baboons after him II Flem-

4 Gods special presence In some Of our churches:
The tidines come! oh, let them come
Tidings Of sinners saved; ~
What welcome news to Christian hearts,
Because for this they prayed.
The tidings come! and let them come
To every church and home,
Till numerous sinners, saved By grace,
Shall to the Savior come.

Centa6r listened with profound attention,
and noting carefully upon the tablet Of his
brain Jimmy's directions, started for the gal.
ley, highly elated.
The affair was, OF course, kept profound
secret, and would not have spoiled the ex-
pected joke for the world.
Dinner time arrived. and Centaur certainly
won honors for himself by the styis in which
he served the fish both boiled and fried. Dish
after dish had disappeared, ard, when every
one supposed the meal to be concluded, anoth-
er dish was placed before the captain, who,
on removing the cover. to bis great surprise
and indignation, discovered the goose His
wrath was not to be suppressed. even in the
presence Of the passengers, and in a towering
passion he shouted:
"Send that confourded cook aft, directly"
Poor Centaur entered the cabin, very greasy
and good-humored, having no suspicion of
anything wrong and was considerable startled
by the question:
"What do you mean you scoundrel by this
disobedience of orders ?"
"Beyed orders, sa done j,s what yot said

"Obeyed orders you rascal p said the cap.
tain, greatly astounded; ''ddn't tell you to

Centaur looked perfectly amazed.
"Course you did, sa and did it."
"Did what ?'' shouted the captain.
"Postpone de goose; sa, 'cordin to direc.
tions."
The passengers here began to scent tbt
joke. and burst into lond laugh. Even the
little captain was somewhat mollifed, and re.
quested Centaur to explain himself.
"Well, SAP said ne, ssyou ordered me t.

It has been announced that Capt. Travis

Capt. Travis isa man Of medium height

blue eye with very earnest expression. The
pistol which he intends to use on this trial shot
is one made by Morgan James, Of Utica, New
York. who has no superior in such workman
ship. The oranges are each to be 81 inches
in diameter-one isp.aced on the top Of his
head and one on the back Of each hand, the
arms being extended. In this position, at the
distance Of ten PAGES or thirty feet, facing the
shooter, and with no intervening Object
Captain John Travis proposes to hit each or.
ange, and has only three shots to bit the three
oranges. The feat is to be performed in this
city in June next. The boy who is to support
the oranges sten years Of age, and bright
and sprightly lad. He has every con6dencs in
Capt. Travis to hit each object, and has equal
ly ss much in his own nerve which cannot be
surpassed. He is now under daily training. =
The boys feet are placed twelys inches apart
and his HANDS upon hiships. The Capt shoots
through the angle made BY the DesAing u the
arms and between the feet. This is done to
accustom the boy to the firing, and II posi-.
