A Drunken Deer.

Man is reproached or commended &C
cording to taste. a. the only animal that
gets drunk. But how about the deer3
It is stated by an authority, that the
deer-at any rate the French deer-for
all his amisble qualities, "n'en est pas
naoins efecte dvn assez william penchant,
celia; des jouissaMces bdchigues." But only
at this time of the year. He then
"throws himself with avidity" upon
certain tender shoots containing . juice
which ferments in his stomach, and in
tOxicates him to such an extent, that he
strays from his usual haunts and "fol-
lows his nose" Thus it came to pass
that "deer in liquor was discovered
by . peasant, also "in liquor" lying
"dead drunk" in the ditch on the road
to the village of Queue-en-Bre. The
peasant delighted at the god-send, tied
the deers legs together with handker-
chief, and having hoisted the animal on
his shoulders, prepared to carry him on.
The deer reused from his drunken sleep
by this treatment, became 20 trouble
some, that the peasant being of an in.
ventive turn, took of his blouse, pdlsed
it over the deer's head, and improvised
BY means Of it . sort of straight jacket,
which paralyzed the beasts movements.
He had Just fnished these intelligent
prsceedings, when he perceived two
gendarmes, who, without moro ado, re-
auested to be furnished with his name
and address, in view Of legal proceediDgA
"car Ia ckasse etait close" In the mean
while, the deer, whose feet had been
united, scampered Of, . little embarrass-
ed by the blouse, to his doe and family,
whose condemnation ct his strange ap-
pearance may readily be imagined. He
probably had . bad time OF it when he
reached his own quarters, while the
peasant had to reckon with the legal au-
thorities. Thus We rec how deer, q
we'll asa man, gets into trouble through
drink; and the case il recommended to
the notice of Sir Wilfred LAwson.-I'all

A curious story comes to US upon the
authority of the prefect of the district OF
Caqueta, in the state of Cauca, and on
the borders of the Brazilian empire. OF
hostilities between savage Indian tribes
which are marked by the atrocities COM
mon to Central Africa or the islands OF
the south sea. On the lower part OF the
river Caqueta live two tribes OF Indians,
the Huitotes and Guaques, between
whom appears to be an endless fued.
The original cause of the sanguinary
wara between these two tribes Is
unknown, but the fact remains that they
seem to exist but to destroy and ami
hilato each other In the most horrible
manner. Although the tribe OF the Gun
ques engage In commerce with any who
may visit their territory, they are never
theless veritable cannibals 80 far as the
Huitotes are concerned, whom they
hunt ~ they would wild beasts, with
the object Of making prisoners, whom
they sell as slaves in Brazilian territory,
or reserve for worse fate, serving up
the still palpitating bodies of their VIC
Tins ~ an article Of food in their horri.
BILE and disgusting feasts. The fr1ghtful
orgies practised at these barbaric rites are
described by q gentleman named Guz-
man, Colombian, who, for commercial
purposes, visited the country inhabited
by these tribes.
The buildings CT temples in which the
victims are sacrificed are about thirty
metres square, with several doors on
either side, and will accommodate about
forty individuals. The victim selected
is led by chief several times up and
down before the assembled savages amid
shouts and laughter; the trembling cap
tive ia OBLIGED to pass out and In through
the various doors. and last ID allowed to
remain standing for few moments in
the centre of the building in the midst

President Hayes sent to the House ON the
18th inst. message vetoipg the bill relative
to military interference At the polls. 1t is .
shorter paper than the message on the Army
Appropriation bill. The two main grounds
of the veto are that the bill repeals, or
rather nullifes, for al days of general
or special elections in several states
laws Of great importance which con.
fer the right upon the President to
use the militia, army, and navy in enforc.
ing the laws and preserving the peace. The
1875, 1909, 1888, and July 13, 1861. Each of
these laws was passed to meet an incipient
rebellion and to enable the president to
promptly take such steps - would restore
peace and preserve national authority.
These acts were called ont by such eventsin
our history ~ the Pennsylvania whisky re-
bellion, the Dorr rebellion, the Aaron Burr
conspiracy, the South Carolina null
li6oatien, the great rebellion, and the laws
passed. after it was crushed, to enforce the
rights of citizens. These laws, in general.
give the president the right, and make it
his duty, to call ont such portions of the
militia, army and navy a. may be needed
whenever the execution of the laws shall be
obstructed in any state by combination
too powerful to be suppressed by the ordi
nary course Of judicial proceedings. Under
the act of 1872, and others. including the
act Of 1888, it is sufficient that the president
be notified Of such situation of affairs BY
the assistant justice or district jadge
Tie suspension Of all power to execute
these various laws in any one state on the
days of national or state election il held
BY the president to be sufficient ground or
which to veto the bill. The second of thl
main objections of the president to the bill
il that this act il clipping away of thu
power Of the national governmen and tina
its tendency II to strengthen state sover
eighty at the expense Of the general gov
ernment.
