THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.
London, July l3.-The Cape Town Stand
ard and Mail summing up the results of the
war now ended with the natives in South
Africa, says: Only few small! parties Of
the enemy remain, and it will not be long
before they will be disposed Of Congo
belle, Stock, Unfanla, Tine and other chiefs
have been taken prisoners; Sardil, Dukma-
ma and Syolo have been killed; Dinbahas
surrendered, and the only man of influence
still at liberty is Kreli. The loss on the
side of the insurgents has been much more
severe than the natives had experienced in
any previous engagement, and it may be
said that their power as people has been
utterly destroyed.
LORD SALISBURY SAYS so.
London, July l3.-At Yesterdays sitting
of the congress, Bismarck moved that sup.
Elementary conference be held next autumn,
either at Constantinoplc or Berlin, but Lord
Salisbury declares his inability to accede to
any proposal interfering with the immediate
submission of the papers to the English
parliament, and the motion was thrown out.

Knew nothing about Mrs. jerks standing;
considered her husband an honorable gen.
tleman and good republican.
Witness refused 10 reply to the question
Of Potter whether he knew that there had
been no protest from the Feliciana parishes,
saying the record would show, and he only
knew that what the record stated was cor
rect.
Witness in reply to further questions re-
garding the existence of intimidation, stated
that he had heard from various sources of
the existence Of democratic intimidation in
the parishes of East and West Fcliciana,
but had no personal knowledge of the same.
He could not say from personal knowledge
whether the protest of James E. Anderson
was before the returning board or not
Kellogg then in reply to Pottcr's inquiries,
stated that he had no knowledge Of any ap-
plications for federal troops having been
made by the election officers in the parishes
of East or West Fcliciana on the day of
election.
Gen. Butler intcrrogated Senator Kellogg,
and then said in the way of question-"I
understand you state the fact to be that all
the members of the visiting commission but
one had federal Offices given or rendered to
them, and that one was largely interested in
a whisky case, which was settled. All the
returning board and all the supervisors, ex-
cept one, Weber, who was killed, and Capt.
Jenka, Mrs. jerks and her sister or brother,
have all been rewarded under the civil SER
vice order Of the administration for their
action in the election or for other Causes"
Hiscock said the question was categorical,
and must not be answered yes or no. Gen.
Butler then modified the question.
The senator then said that some of the
parties named had to his certain knowledge
been appointed.
Butler asked if these persons should have
the place for any other reason than political
services.
Hiscock objected to the question, saying
it was intended to make the administration
appear ridiculous.
Butler said he could not render the ad
ministration more ridiculous than it had
rendered itself.

A Baggage-Master Sold.

5 L. Hilton Malley is a baggage master
on through train from New York to
Washington, on the pennsylvania Rail-
road, which has for che of its rules that
no dog shall be allowed in passenger
car. A few days ago some wags put up
a job on Malley. They got a large toy
dog, and put him under their seat in a
first-class passenger Car. The conductor
saw the supposed dog, and was let into
the plot. He sent Malley back for the
dog. The baggage-master rushed to the
rear of the car where the 'dog" was, and
he demanded possession Of him. A long
and heated argument ensued between
Malley and the owners of the "dog,' y
which resulted in an invitation on the
part of the latter to stake him out it you
want him." Amid the suppressed merri-
ment OF the passengers, Mal!ey got down
on all tours and said to the ''dog":
''Come, doggie; good boy; come,
boy!' But the dog didn't come.
With sudden jerk Malley grabbed
the dog and held him up. A roar
from the passengers heralded his exit,
which was made suddenly and uncere-
moniously, after he had flung the toy
down ina heap in the aisle.

Two Dog Stories.

Professor Brewer, of New Haven, in a
recent lecture told these two dog stories !:
IN 1876 Scotch collie, shepedo dog,
was shipped by express from a town On
the Lake Shore Railroad between ,Cleye-
land and Toledo to town in Kansas, dis
.tant about 900 miles, a gift from a father
to son. The dog was five days in max
ing the journey, confined in close box
Car all the way, saving possibly at one or
two points of transfer. On reaching his
destination he was tied up over night in
the barn of his new owner. The next
morning he was gone. In eighteen days
he reappeared at his old Ohio home, foot
so:e, worn and weary, but with evident
Joy at rejoinin.; his old master. How could
he have made his way back over that I'M
known journey?
The other story was of a Connecticut
dog, I believe, who had suffered an inju-
~ to its tail which would not repair it.
self. His owner believed that an ampu-
tation Of the extremity would produce a
fresh wound which would easily and
quickly heal. He gave orders to have
the operation performed as humanely as
possible, and it was done by a ,ervant
with an ak on block. Judge of the as
constituent of the owner when the dog
presently appeared before him carrying
the excised member in his moth, and lay
ing it down at his feet, as if to say: "See
what has been done to my tail!' Having
thus presented his case, he carried the
fragment out and buried it. Shortly
after he repeated this operation as if to
emphasize the tres tment he had suffered.
Finding that he Fad made little impress
sion upon his master, he repeated it
again, and then abandoned his claim for
Naturalization.
s'You sec," said the good-hearted doc
tor Of divinity, from whom Professor
Brewer has this cffecting tale, he was
aithful to the end"
