but when he dies and leaves a lot of
debts, they will have nothing to do with
them.

IT isgoing to cost England SIC, 900, 900
to kill ten or a dozen Zulus 1t costs
more to kill Zulu than it does an In
dian. Our Government never pays
more than 100000 for killing an In

country you can kill white man for
almost anything you are able to pay a

ONE gets an idea of the depth of the
Nevada mines on reading that it took
three hours to get an injured man out of
the lowest level of the Julia mine UP

flowing in the-mine. Its temperature
was ITO, and he was scalded to death.

ney threw away lot of wild cherry
pits, the same having been soaking in
brandy since last fall. On Sunday a
large flock of crows came along and
made a hearty meal on the pits, and the
consequence was that nearly every crow
became drunk as fiddler, as the say
ing is. Some would stagger around the
field and finally lie down apparently in
sensible, while Others would fly up in
the air and then, losing all control OF
their wings, would fall to the ground,
in many instances breaking their necks.
About fifty of the birds were killed or
captured, and the affair created quite
an excitement Wilson (Ct.) Letter to
