1t is reported that the French have annexed
three provinces in Cochin-China. They have been
for several years in possession Of the three pro-
vinces of Bien-Hoa, Mytho and Gia-Diuh, with an
aggregate area of 900 hectares, and popula-
ton Of OOO and have obtained more recently
protectorate over three other provinces. The dis
patch probably means the entire incorporation OF
the latter provinces with the French dominions.
China is one Of those Asiatic countries in
which the Catholic Church has, for more than q
century, been firmly established, and where its
rapid growth has only been checked by bloody
prosecutions In such q country, France has q
good prospect Of success, and is likely to render
greater services to civilization than she has done
in Mexico.

eyes, sir, and said so during tho war; The
great mistake the South made was that it did not
know the black man as well as the North did. The
colored men would have fought well for the South.
But it was curious; planter would willingly send
hs SONS to the war; but he would not let his slaves

general desire among your people for freedom9"

ssDid you ever feel like escaping2"
ssYes, but was very unfortunately situated. I
had an inirm mother, and for seventeen years
had to tote her in my arms like child. During
the war we were very well informed Of the state Of
affairs. We used often to get Northern papers,
and they were read before the st. Cecilia Society,
to which belonged. Frequently We had to burn
them for fear Of discovery. Before the war read
part Of Uncle Toms Cabin. There was gentle
who naQ 3 copy VI III ulb GrQnk at the motel,
and used to do little snatches Of reading on the
sly. Ijhave since seen the Key to Uncle Toms
Cabin, and am astonished at its accuracy. don't
know where Mrs. Stowe got the facts, but there
arc several cases that was knowing 10 myself. IF
had been caught at those tricks I would have
very likely been hanged"
dHave you any fear Of war of races here in

not all live peaceably together But after things
are settled, should like to see return to the
