A baby monkey the first ever born
in America, of course lis the chief at
traction al Barnum'> show. The
World says it is by no means pretty
baby: il looks as though it might be
its own grandfather, having all the
wrinkles and dignity of a centenari-
an; its stomach is blue. and its legs
as thin rs a hens forehead, but, new
ertheless, il is very dear to the old la
dy, whose treatment of the little
infant is an unfailing source of amuse-
ment and delight to the female por-
ton Of the audience. Saturday after
noon the ladies stood four deep i'm
front of this picture of domestic felic-
ity aud maternal love, and begged in
the most imploring manner for Just
few minutes longer when the time
for closing the cage arrived. One old
lady with sold-bowed spectacles near
~ cloked with the excess of her
amazement and delight when for some
particularly astonishing feat Of preco-
cieusness. either the turning OF Il sum
mer,ault or the chewing of straw,
the aimiring parent grabbed at her
little one, held him moment at
arms length looking proudly into his
little wrinklel, wsazen face. and then
with positive cry of love and affec-
ton, clasped him in her arms and
covered his little skinny head with
loud, sracking kisses. Another ex-
tremely interesting episode was the
solicitude of the anxious mother for
her infant during his attempt to eat
peanut. Just as long as she could en-
dure the spectacle she watched the lit
tie one breathless, and then. drawing
him gently to her embrace, cautiously
pried the nut out Of his tiny mouth,
chewed it up fine In her own, and up
on her open paw again offered it to
him, after which she looked out at
the admiring ladies as much as to say,
Gould you do more than that 80

zion which England Is reported e
have lust added to her South African
possession, has for many years pas'
been recognized as u free state IN
Southeastern Africa. embracing about
20. Ooa square miles. and peopled orig :
inally by Datch Beers, who retired
| from the Orange River Free State af-
ter similar annexation Of that country
by England in ls4s. 1t includes the
country north of the Vaal river, lying
between 30, 27,, and 2s0 and 81 south
latitude. The boundaries Of the Re-
public are described as formed by the
river Oori or Limpopo on the north,

ing IL from the coast region on the
east. the vaal river on the south and
ON the west by an underlined line sep
arating ii from the Bushuana tribes
living on the borders of the desert of
Kalihari. The country is, for the most
part, a vast plateau sioplng 10 the
north. with an elevation Of 1000 or
5000 feet above the level of the sea.
The population was estimated some
eight years ago at 10000, composed of
emigrant farmers, with deserters and
refugees from Port Natal and Cape
Colony. II is considerably increased,
no doubt, in the last few years, i'm con-
sequence Of the excitement over dia-
mond-mining in the interior of South
Africa. Education Is represented to
be at low ebb, the people being in
clined to live an indolent and reckless
life, while depending upon the katfirs
and Bashuanas to work for them.
During the last few years, however, a
number of Dutch clergymen and
school have settled among
them, and their social condition has
been somewhat improved. Ecehaage.

navy by the treaty of Paris after the
Crimean war, and 1t was not until six
or seven years ago that Russia declar-
ed she would no longer be governed

fleet is therefore much smaller than
that of the Turks. The latter have
fifteen iron-clads in this quarter

noticed, however, that Russia has

Wood was the first one to put -four down, and
as lie is trying the experiment OF retailing for

We think a trial will convince any one that it is
the best -four in Ottawa, therefore the cheapest.
II could hardly be otherwise, for the wheat they
are now receiving is certainly the finest that ev
or came to this city. This mill could supply the
whole city when run to its full capacity They
can and would then sell at strictly manufacturers
prices giving to their customers the full benefit
and saving to them the profit now made BY flour

consumers to think OF this.
