and most Of them talk Dutch better than
English, because the people who first lived
there were Dutch.
They play a kind of baseball, but pitch
and-toss is their great game, among little
boys. And at night they get together in
hundreds in the back streets, and in the
light of the moon, which shines very bright
ly there, they play some sort of game in a
ring, singing in Dutch. The police allow
them to do this, and only punish them when
they begin to gamble with cards, which the
Malay boys are very apt to do.
In the evening or the morning, many of
these boys go down to the shore of Table
Bay to battle, which Is very healthy for
them; but the best fun they seem to have is
with the goats.
There are plenty Of goats of different breeds
here-big and little, white, black, and
brown. Many of the boys have harness
and carts, and make the goats draw them
or their little sisters about town. Some
times they use them to carry groceries from
the stores or vegetables from the market.
/ mean that the boys use them for this
purpose, but the men use donkeys and carts
as well as horses. Some of these boys are
very fond of goats, especially when they
own them, and two or three colored boys
may often be seen leading the goats On the
hillside above the town to pastures all the
day long.
1t is often very pretty sight indeed to
see groups of Malay and colored boys and
girls, dressed in all sorts of bright colors,
such as orange or yellow, or crimson, pink,
or green-the boys bareheaded and the girls
with orange or yellow silk handkerchieis ON
their heads-and to see them romping about
-
they wander over the hillsides.
These boys and girls have kind of candy
there they call 'tam-a-letjee. made of boiled
sugar poured il a paper in the shape of a
small square cake. 1t is not so bad to eat
as many of our American candies, because
it has no chalk and no poison colored stuff
in it.
But I am afraid had better stop here, or
else / will have half of you wanting to go
off to Africa and buv goat and cart, and
live on "tam-a-letes."

The Ten Little Katydids.
BY NJ. C. ID.
There were ten little katydids,
Who lived beneath vine.
But one got choaked on cabbage leaves
And so there were but nine.
Among the nine little katydids
Was one busy pate,
She ventured in chicken coop,
Then there were but eight
The eight little katydids
Sang out till after 'leyeu.
And one tOok-cold upon her lungs.
Then there were but seven
The seven little katydids
Built a house of sticks.
A thunderstorm came up one night.
Then there were but six.
The six little katydids
Lit upon hive,
A hOney-bee stung one OF them.
Then there were but five
The five little katydids
Began one day TO SnOre,
A speckled pullet passed that way.
Then there were but four.
The four little katydids
Were hungry as could be,
One ate pOisOn-ivy,
Then there were but three.
The three little katydids,
I'm loath to say It's true,
They came, one day. from words to blows.
Then there were but two.
Two little katydids
Sat chatting on a stone.
A turkey swallowed one of them,
Then there was but one.
One little katydid,
Oh, so sad and lionel
She sang too loud that Katy did,
So now there is not one.
Two little birds started out to sing.
When fOggy was the weather;
They cleared their Threats and whetted their
bills,
And eoughed and wheezed together.
They wheezed and coughed as hard as they
could.
In this dreadful foggy weather,
Till they spoiled their notes and split their
thrOats,
And turned up their toes together.

Mr.. Coon, of Thayer county, the re-
publican nominee, at the election next
November.
Some people seem to think that there
will be q great deal of land lie idle in

Mr.. w. A. Beck, living up in Inavale
precinct lost one Of his horses recently
and believed it had been stolen, as in
dications pointed that way. He &C
cordingly came to town and had an &C
curate description of the horse printed
on some postal cards at the CHIEF
Office, which were sent out in all direc-
tons. The result was gratifying, the
thief was caught in Nuckolls Co., q few
hours after the postal card conveyed
the description to that county, and Mr..
Beck recovered his property.
Mark Twain in his new book, "A
Tramp Abroad" uses the following
sensible words in speaking of cheap
church bells: 1--WE build our churches
almost without regard to cost; We rear
an edifice which is an Advancement to
the town, and we gid it, and fresco it,
and mortgage it, and do everything we
can think of to perfect it, and then
spoil it all by putting a bell on it which
afflicts everybody who hears it, giving
some the headache, others st. Vitus's
dance, and the rest the blind staggers.
Mr.. w. A. McKeighan addressed a
large audience at the court house last
Saturday night on the past and present
political questions. His address was
very good, and showed considerable
thought and research. Mr.. McKeighan
is evidently blessed with a retentive
memory, if not . sound mind. The
main effort of the speaker seemed to
be to show why Mr.. Garfield should not
be elected president this fall. As Mr..
McKeighan is a Greenbacker, and as
the FIAT" bubble has long since faded
into the misty past, we will not con-
tradict any Of the numerous assertions
made by him which are not supported
by the proofs. Greenbackers are not
supposed to be responsible for what
they say, anyway.
