All the mosquitoes in the world

King Koffee KalcalIi, of Ashantee,
has Just declared war, Mr.. Griffith,
Lieutenant-G Governor of the Gold
Coast, on January 18th gave asylum
to an Ashantee prince, who implored
protection and next day the Kiug's
messengers, bearing a gold axe, the
symbol of war, demanded the refugee.
Mr.. Griffith, of course, refused to
to surrender him, but intimated to
his superiors at home his opinion nat
wal would Immediately follow, and
that British territory would be at
once invaded. A West Indian Re-
giment has been ordered to Cape
Coast Castle, and the Houssa force
collected while the Admiralty has
sent the Champion corvette, from
Madeira, with four or five gunboats,
to protect the settlement. The garri-
son of the Castle is full of heart, and
it is hoped hat the King will be
checked in the attempt to cross the
Prah, but we may be undertaking his
strength. He evidently desires to
wipe out the recollection of his defeat,
and is said to have drilled his men,
and to have collected sufficient arm
of precision. The Houssas can be
relied on, and the West Indians and
the Blue-jackets will be most efici-
emit, but a stronger white force would

driven back, all will be well. but

A new and rather unexpected dan
ger has appe AIRED in Egypt. The Ar
my has suddenly discovered that it 10
the only force in the country, and is
using its knowledge. The officers
have hitherto been Arabs Or Egyptian
Turks, but the Minister of War, Os-
man Pasha, recently appointed a Cir
cassian, and arrested a colonel who
demonstrated. The regiment there
upon marched with fixed bayonets to
the prison, released the colonel, and
demanded from the Khedive in per-
son the dismissal of the Minister Of
War. The Khedive was compelled
to comply, and since then the Arab
troops, according to the correspondent
OF the Times, have been in a chronic
state of mutiny, pleading grievances
about pay, which are probably true.
Further disturbances are feared, andn
the soldiers should find an able leader,
or choose another member of Mehe-
met AIfs family, the existing strange
organization of Egypt, under which
the Sovereign is absolute, but must
obey English and French clerks, may
come suddenly to an end. The cor
respondent evidently hopes that the
two Powers will interfere, but they
are too jealous of each others de-
signs.

Tn the'Second Reader on page 10
the fronds of the Cocoa-Nut Palm are
mentioned, and on page IL, these
fronds are defined as "a kind OF stem,
IN which the stalk leaf and fruit-pro-
ducing parts, are blended together"
This is correct, as far as fronds of
ferns are concerned, but it is utter
nonsense, if applied to the leaves of
palms. On page 40 we read that the
real name of the Red Head is Ipeca-
cuanha, whilst the plant, AscDepias
c~urassavica, furnishes no real Ipeca-
cuanha at all, although it is sometimes
called Bastard Ipecacuanha. On page
1O3 we read of the Obeahman's fa-
nous bush-poison, called Brinvilliers.
There seems to besassyet little known
of the poisonous plants used by the
Obeahmen. But nobody in Jamaica
calls any plant BrinviIliers. 1t is the
name, used in the French Islands for
Spigelia anthelmia, a plant which is
common in Jamaica, and used as a
medicine, but it is not by any means
a famous poison"
From the same Newspaper we
take the following items.
IA new Steamship Line is arranged
to run between Jamaica and Turks
Island in conjunction with the Atlas
Company's New York Line and
w Coasting Service well done
SirAnthony Musgrave. With all thy

Mr. S%aunderson, a we'll known
Shipping Agent from New York, has

New York Agent of the Royal Mail
Steam Packet Company. and is sup
posed to have come here in connec-
ton with the new Steam Ship Service,
which is about to be opened by that
Company between New York and
Kingston"

made for employment on the Isthmus.

"A A &.

Anew setofreading books has been
written for the Jamaica schools; but
from the following criticisms in Calls
News Letterthey appear to be failures.
sit was a happy idea, to produce a
series of Reading Books specially
adapted for the wants Of schools in
the West Indies, for it is evident, that
books, which are written for English
schools must be in many respects
unsuitable and unsatisfactory, when
used in Jamaica. We ought there
fore to hail gratefully the arrival
of the Tropical Reading Books"
and to introduceEthem speedily into
our elementary schools, especially,
as the late Bishop of Kingston, under
whose direction they were written,
and who prefaces them with a very
laudatory introduction, seemsto think,
that these books and no other, should
be used in our schools
Upon examination of the 'Tropi-
cal Reading Books" however all u
hopes are cruelty disappointed. We
find slip-shod English, inaccurate
definitions, and now and then state
ments, SO monstrously inaccurate, as
to take fairly our breath away. 1t
would be a bold thing indeed, to in
troduce books so full of blunders of
every kind, into our schools. The
defects of the Tropical Reading
Books are so numerous and great,
that they far outweigh the advantages
they possess for us, az being written
expressly for Tropical schools. What
a pity, that the idea, SO excellent in
itself, to produce this series, should
have brought forth such utterly
worthless results.
Let us look at the First Book.
Some statements in Natural History,
novel, if not true, will startle the
reader. On page 10 we learn that
the large red beads with a black spot
are called Jobs tears. On page 50
we read that there are two kinds OF
Breadfruit- trees in this country,
namely, the Breadfruit, and the Jack
fruit. On page 1872 we are informed,
which plant furnishes the cotton for
The manufacture of calico; it is the
Silk cotton tree. On page SO it is
JStated, that the flowers of the Tam
arind tree in the West Indies are
white, on page II, that tea grows on
: tree.

Thomas Carlyle died on the morn
ing of last Saturday, February 9th, in
his house at Chelsea, in the eighty
sixth year of his age, having been
born on December the 4th, 1895.
He was the son Of James Carlyle, .
shrewd stonemason, of Ecclefechan,
in Dumfriesshire, and he used to say
of his father, whose pithy sayings
were repeated all over the country
side, "He was a far cleverer man
than I am, or eyer will be-" He was
entered at the University of Edin-
burgh at the age of fourteen, and gave
a good deal OF attention to math-
MATES, having written indeed a very
good essay on proportion, which the
late Professor De Morgan used to
praise, terming it "as good a SUBJ
stitute for the Fifth Book of Euclid
as could be given in speech" He
married in 1927, Miss Jane Welsh,
of Haddington, a descendant of John
Knox, who died fifteen years before
him, in 1866; and it was during his
residence IN a little property Of hers,
called Craigenputtock, among the
bare hills Of Dumfriesshire, that he
read, dreamt, and meditated to such
good purpose as appeared subsequent
ly in "Sartor Resartus" and The
French Revolution,"-thc latter
appearing in 1887, and being the
first work to which Carlyle put his
NAME. Then followed "Heros and
Hero-Worship," "Chartism," Past
and Present." "Latter-day Pamph-
let's" and eventually the great work
on Frederick Ii. of Prussia, in ten
volumes, which are models of minute
research, as well as Of graphic and
picturesque description, the whole

ed prepossessions in favour of intel
ligent despotism. But his most ORR
ginal work will always be "The
French Revolution" that wild and
rugged epic Of modern democracy,
written by one who was wholly fasci-
mated by it, while he haif-teared and
half-despised it.

"A Celebrated Case"

On Thursday evening next, the
beautiful drama of "a Celebrated
Case" will be repeated at the The
atre. 1t was the excellent piece in
which Mr.. John S. Lindsay, after a
two years absence, made his reap
pearance here a week or two ago,
and the excellent manner of the
presentation then warranted repe-
titiOn Immediately after, but owing
to other arrangements, this could
not be done. The determination,
however, to give it again is a wise
one, and the many who were unable
to attend then will doubtless seize
the opportunity of doing so now.
A few changes will be made in the
cast, which it is believed will i'm
prove it. Mr.. Lindsay will again
take the part of Jean Renaud, Miss
Clawson, Mrs. Cummings, Mr.. LIE
Clair, Mr.. Taylor, and the
rest of the principal charac-
tiers being as before. Rehear-
sails are in progress, and the piece
will be well played, it is hoped to a
good house.

BLOOD.
And the COlOrsd Troops Fought
Nobly.

About l1.45 o'clock on Sunday
morning, the vicinity of the Ele-
plant corner was alive with bullets.
A trouble took place between a
couple of individuals of very col
ored persuasion, in which one shot
four or five times at the other, and
| either missed him altogether or
struck him on the head, as he eS-
capped unhurt, so far as the bullets
are concerned. The facts are hardly
comatable, for the reason that there
are so mapy conflicting stories, one
attributing the cause of the Tow to a
white woman, another to money
affair, and a third to a different
source. The parties to the row are
one Pond DeXterhunt and William
O'Neal, and from the story of the
latter, the row took place as follows
Dexterhunt was standing in front of
his bootblack stand on Second South
street, when 0'Neal came along.
Dexterhunt stopped O'Neal and
asked him why he had told certain
stories about him I'D. O'Neal de-
MED having done so, when Dexter
hunt called him Cd id liar"
or a " black-hearted s-n of b-h,"
and O'Neal good naturally returned
the compliment, epithets included,
and turning, went his way rejoicing,
going west. The first thing he next
heard was a pistol shot and bullet
whiStling past his head, and turning
to see whence the bullet and sound
proceeded, beheld Dexterhunt run
ming after him, pistol in hand.
O'Neal also began making tracks,
but the villain still pursued him at
a distance of about four feet, and
kept firing his pistol at the flying
shadow, O'Neal. The latter kept
lodging the bullets, as he says, and
was evidently successful, and stopped
to pick up rock to defend himself.
The exciting race-both foot and
cOlored-continued until the pursu-
ing villain had shot four times
at the fleet-foOted 0'Neal, when
the latter turned the Ele-
plant corner, going north.
Immediately thereafter Dexter
hunt came armed also, and was
about to fire fifth time, or did snap
his pistol, within a few inches of
O'Neals head; but the latter, fearing
Dexterhunt's aim might be as I'M
reliable as it had been before, and
fearing the ball might miss his head
and strike him in some place where
it would penetrate instead, struck
the pistol up with one fist and
struck Dexterhunt under the chin
with the other. They grappled,
and fell Dexterhunt under, when he
got one of O'Neal's fingers in his
mouth and chawed it with marked
relish. Meantime. O'Neal was en-
gagged in the innocent pastime of
trying to gouge out Dexterhunt's
eye. And the coloTed troops fought
nobly.
The combatants, white with rage
to put it figuratively-were sepa-
rated. and DeXterhunt marched off
to Jail. O'Neal interested himself in
getting a doctor to put the chawed
finger in as good condition as
possible.
On Monday DeXterhunt was taken
before Judge Pyper and bound over
in $500 to await the action of the
grand jury. He failed to give the
bonds and is still in Jail.
