fox fourteen or sixteen years. Lions are
long lived. One has been known to live
to the age of seventy years; a squirrel
or hare seven to eight years; rabbits
seven. Elephants have been known to,
live to the great age Of four hundred
years. When Alexander the Great had
conquered Phorus, King Of India, he
took great elephant who had fought
valiantly for the King and named Ajax,
dedicated him to the sun, and let him go,
after placing upon him this inscription.
+" Alexander, the son of Jupiter, hath
dedicated Ajax to the SUM-" This ele-
phant was found with this inscription
three hundred and fifty years afterwards.
Pigs have been known to live to- the age
Of thirty years; rhinoceros to twenty. A
horse has been known to live to the age
of sixty-two, but averages twenty to
thirty Camels sometimes live to the age
of one hundred. Stays are long lived.

seven. Insects, as general rule, are

Q. How would you better the mattcr2
Would the people return thesnegro to-
slavery?
A. There is no such intent or disposi
ton anywhere to re-ensIave the negro.
They regard that rs entirely settled
question, and impossible if they desired
it, 1t would be presumption on my part
to submit plan cxtcmpOraneously upon
which onr people would work. can
give yoApnly the views OF a private citi
zen who has never been in or aspired to
political position. would suggest and
believe it would find favor with our peO
pie. such legislation as would compel all
men to comply with their contracts for
services, in kind, ut least for one year,
under penalty of working Onpublic works
without wages. All men nearly would
bargain with and treat them justly, and
most men evcnkindly. The reported an
tagonism which fills northern papers is
not merely exaggerated; it is manufac-
tured out of whole cloth. 1t is false. No
such aRtagOnism exists; and collisions
have occurred only within my own
knowledge, where negroes have been
stimulated to impndence and hostility by
opinions of soldiers or agents Of the
Freedmens Bureau. This will never be
tolerated. e.
Q. Will the people of Texas probably
prepare for the enfranchisement of the
negro, or such Of them as may meet GER
tain qualifications of property and intel
ligence?
A. Never, as l believe. They hold to
a distinction of race that they have re-
pugnance to compromise. They do not
believe in the capacity of the negro for
republican citizenship, and If they did,
will not consent to affiliate with him. In
this they are probably as stubborn. as
the people of the north, who, like them,
feel the repugnance of race that God has
planted in our instincts. y
