NOTHING TO LIVE FORA negro
planter came to Vicksburgh the other
day, sold his cotton, put his money in
his pocket-book and started down the
river. Leaning too far over the guards
as the boat backed out, he fell overheard.
His porte-monnaie, which was in his
side pocket, foated out and rode with
his hat OH the surface of the water,
while the current carried the negro away
The yawl was lowered, and assistance at
once started toward the drowning man,
who, perceiving his treasure floating off,
raised his voice and shouted
''Save dat pocket-book -
His head went under and he disap-
peared. As he rose up again he gasped ::
"Dar's $11S in dat pocket book !''
Scarcely had he uttered the woods be
fore he sank second time.
The yawl came within reach just in
tim to rescue the drowning African as
he came to the surface for the last
time. AS soon as the water was wiped
from his nose and mouth so that he
could see ard speak, he asked
"Did-;lid you save dat pocket-book2'
''No was the response.

fully, what the debbil was de use ob

A MASSACRE IN AFRICA.-The Weser
Zeitung, of Bremen, Dec. s, contains
the following account of the capture and
massacre of detachment of Egyptian
troops by the Abyssinians, briefly re-
ported some time ago by cable.
We have bad news from Abyssinia.
The expedition of about 1000 men, sent
by the Khedive, under command of Gen.
Arendrop, q Dane, to subjugate the
Abyssinians. was thrown into ambush
and nearly every man was slaughtered.
Gen. Arendrop Pasha and many other
officers were literally hacked to pieces,
their heads stuck on spears before the
Abyssinian tents, and their bodies sent
to *wild beasts. MacKillop Pasha is
said to be alive and prisoner. OF Col.
Routh, the American, nothing is known,
and only one officer, Schweizer, escaped.
An expedition comprising $4,000 men,
infantry cavalry, and artillery, is to set
out from Cairo without delay, and will
be joined by every American officer in
the Egyptian service, including Colonel
Stone.

IHE BANDITS AND OUTLAWS IN LOWER
CALFoRNIA.-The people of San Diego
say that large gang of the very worst
bandits and outlaws have gathered on
the Lower California frantier, and Mai
Gen. Schofield has been asked to send
troops without delay to that section
1t Is feared that there will be repetition
of the raid like that which was recently
into Campo, about sixty miles from San
Diego. Two terrible murders have
been perpetrated since that raid. It is
said that San Diego will soon be abandon
ed by American citizens unless the
Government goes to the rescue; that the
military telegraph to Arizona will cease
working, and that the mail service will
be discontinued. At a meeting of citi-
zens held in San Diego last Wednesday
evening committee was appointed to
prepare a statement of facts to be sent
to Gov. Irwin and Gen. Schofeld, and
a special messenger bearing dispatches
was sent to those officers. A dispatch
from Campo, dated Sunday, says that
all the Mexicans living on the new road
between there and San Diego have dis
appeared, and are said to be concentrat-
ing in Lower California. There are Is
to 100 strange Mexicans just below the
line. Stage passengers who arrived in
Campo reported large number of idle
Mexicans in Treat Valley Horses and
mules have been stolen at many places
along the line within the past few days.
Gen. Schoeield informed a Chronicle
reporter that it IS highly probable he
will feel compelled to send troops to
the scene of trouble. A battery, or sec
ton of one, may be sent from the Presi-
dent and other troops will follow.

How A FATHERS REQUEST Was EAT
EN- Urn 1858 Franklin C. Gray died
in New York City, leaving to his infant
daughter, Franklina, all the estate he
had acquired in California. 1t was val
ned at $237, 900, and 0. J. Eaton and
Joseph Palmer wer appointed executors.
W. III. Gray, uncle to the heiress, at
once brou hit suit, claiming a partner
ship in the estate to the extent of one
fourth, ana Eaton soon after resigned
and claimed another partnership for
one-third. These claims we're respect
fully compromised for S11 900 and $50,
600. In 1866 z. ]. Galpin, lawyer of
New York, Miss Gray's guardian, was
sent to California to see to her interests
and found most of her property appro-
printed by strangers. He brought eject
ment suits, and had John r. Spring ap-
pointed in his stead. Spring gave him
for his services nominally sic, 900, but
lot transferred by Spring as worth
81, 200 is really valued at so, 900, and
there are $1,000 in cash belonging to the
estate not accounted for. Two years
ago Miss Gray became of age, and she
has since been fighting for her fathers
bequest. ALI but $40, 600 of it had been
eaten up by legal expenses when she
was put in posse ssion of it last week,
after twenty-five years of litigation. The
original property is now worth more
than $1,0GO,O0O. Z

BIGGER GAME AHEAD--You sOiU be
mine? urged faithful and substantial
lover to Philadelphia girl, last week.
Oh, no, won't any such thing, she
answered archly.
But why this change? pleaded he; you
once felt differently toward me.
Oh, yes, know I did, she replied,
but I didn't think of the Centennial
then, and the chances there'n be to pick
up foreign duke or prince, or some
thing.
And as the disappointed youth turn
ed sadly away, you could see by his face
that there was at least one Philadelphia
soul which had lost its enthusiasm for
the coming big show.

THE GIRL OF THE PERIoD.-Miss Belle
Harper, of Fairhaven, w. Va, was paid
attention to by a young man, who final
~ said he would not have her. Then
Miss Belle armed herself with her
fathers shotgun, and, stepping out of
the door as her lover was passing on the
opposite side of the street, raised the
gun, and, as she says, ''took aim, pray
ed TO the Lord, and fired" The young
man fell. Miss Harper stepped back
into the house and said to her father:
"Pap, I've shot him, and then sat down
and ate hearty dinner. She is out on
bail, and he will soon be out On clutches.

OYSTERS WITH BONES. a
Granger looking gray put in an apear-
ance at the Leland Hotel just at dinner
time Seating himself at the table, he
gathered up the bill of fare, and, run
ming over it few minutes, said to the
his order. 'sYou kin bring me all there
is on the bill, for I'm doggoned hungry"
A good dinner was brought him, and
soon the Granger was manipulating his
knife and fork at lively rate, making
the dishes which surrounded him fairly
clatter. A gentleman who sat beside
him said to the waiter. "Bring me
Kaw River oyster dressed in crumbs. "
This order did not pass the
Granger. No sooner did he hear
it than he said /: ''Here, my boy
you kin bring me one of them too"
The waiter hustled out of the room, and
soon returned with pigs foot in batter.
AS soon as it had been placed upon the
table, The gray soused his fork into it
and started on his work of demoishing
it. After tearing it partially to pieces. he
remarked : 'sIsn't this oyster over size 2"
The gentleman to whom the interroga-
tory had been addressed replied in the
negative "Where," said the Granger,
sis the Kaw River ?" The desired infor-
nation was given, and the Granger ap-
peared satisfied. He minced away
while at the pigs foot, then turning to
the gentleman at his side, said, ''Salt
water eh :" 'sNo," replied the gentle
men, ssfresh water" After he had fin
ished the foot, he said, "well, III be
doggoned if havetn't seen a heap Of
oysters, in my time, but this is the first
one I ever seed that had bones in it.
It was an audible smile that went round
the table, when the Granger, picking
his teeth with his fork, innocently asked
"what in thunder are you laughing at9"
